Legend

When we find the base of the killers who attacked the Cavaliers' convoy, we need your help to control it.

That's what I was told, Ray, but inside, I lean my neck.

(Why bother asking me to do that? Is that a war problem? If you do, make it a guard, make it a knights, make it an organization. Thinking about it, you need to bother to incorporate me that mess... No, there is. First, when the enemy's aim is me, taking me in reduces the likelihood of spreading extra damage to the city. At the same time, what kind of trump card would it be if there was an opponent in your arms more than the Langa and the others? I think the guards have all their arms around the Knights anyway.)

"Okay. Then give the Alliance a nomination request."

"I'm sorry. You adventurers basically say winter is closed."

It was Langa bowing her head sorry, but for Ray it was the other way around that she didn't have the time to spare.

(I can't tell you how much time I've had to spare to get a favor, because I'm sure I'd be disgusted.)

I whine inside and shake my head as if to mislead it.

"Never mind. Even for me, I'm almost ready to rank up. It's not all bad this time."

"That would help if you said so. Well, it's quick, but let's go to the guild."

I put a few sandwiches together and threw them into my mouth, and the langa poured in with tea that had cooled down because I was talking stood up.

I guess I bought the sandwich itself from a nearby bakery or somewhere. Ray stood up again, seemingly regretting a few because it was delicious.

"Captain Langa, then I'll turn to everyone's support."

The guard similarly rises and leaves the room in a gentle grace to Langa.

"Oh. I want you to concentrate on those who are left with information."

"Yes, I know."

"Phew... Well, I guess I'll go"

It stretches greatly and encourages the lay by wearing a robe of anti cold magic items.

"Let's go. Ray, I know this is gonna be a lot of trouble for you, but thank you very much."

"Oh, no problem.... Still, is it okay to go outside with one of those robes?

The guard who left earlier wore a fairly thick robe for cold protection. But the only thing Langa is wearing in front of Ray right now is one pretty thin robe. Asked Ray wondering about it, Langa grins and nods.

"Oh. This robe is a magic item for once, even if it looks like this. To a certain extent, it has the ability to withstand cold. I'm not capable of doing anything about the blizzard, but I can handle it if it's as cold as it is right now."

"... hey, that's interesting"

Ray shrugs interested in the magic item, but Langa smiles bitterly and shakes her head.

"I know you're collecting magic items, but this isn't that big of a deal. It's cheap enough to buy a few pieces of silver."

"Cheap stuff, hey"

Even if it's cheap, it's probably a hard substitute for the average guard to reach when he sees where other guards aren't using it. Even so, Ray left the building to head with Langa to the Alliance, which was not attracted any further because of the higher performance dragon robes in the sense of cold resistance.

"Ah, Mr. Ray...... and Mr. Langa? It's also a rare combination."

For Ray and Langa, who broke up with Seto and went into the guild, that was the first voice Kenny released.

Even as a guild, I guess I'm free because many of my adventurers are on holiday. There are usually a few receptionists, including Lenora, but now only one Kenny seemed free to check the paperwork. That's why it must have been natural for Kenny himself to be quick to notice the presence of Ray of your obsession.

Langa also turns an enviable glance at the adventurers drinking from day to day in a tavern that is only situated in the Alliance for a moment before returning her words to Kenny.

"Hey, Mr. Kenny. Actually, I was just going to ask him for a nomination."

"... could it be a rumored raid?

Even for Kenny...... or because he's an adventurer guild receptionist, he still already knew about the case. She frowned slightly and asked Langa in a low voice.

Murder all over the city, anyway. Besides, the victim has a few knights. It's just such a noisy case, I guess the information spread quickly.

"Well, you will"

"But why you, Ray? I know it's strong, but that's just a fight, right? I don't think it's for investigation or anything."

"That's true, because he's the one who caught the killer the knights were escorting yesterday. Besides, the actual problem, the culprit in this raid is probably going to be armed. You're wiping out all the knights anyway. There's also a trump card for that."

"Okay. Well, it's a nomination request, so the paperwork isn't normal... uh, where was it?"

With regular requests and nomination requests, I guess the requests you submit to the guild are still different. Take out one piece of paperwork and hand it over to Langa, even though it's crooked on the other side of the counter.

"Please fill out this document."

"Okay."

Langa buries the paperwork quickly as she says so.

That's just the captain of the guard, and I guess he's used to the paperwork in this hand. I go ahead with the pen with little hesitation.

"Hey, Mr. Ray. Are you all right?

Kenny calls out to Ray to see how Langa is doing like that.

"If you ask me if I'm okay, I'll just have to say I honestly don't know. Anyway, I'm pretty sure I was the original cause, but I don't think I have much time left to do anything more than make things bigger..."

If you try to be the Bestian Empire, Ray returns that word because he doesn't know how important it is to his existence.

(Actually, the problem is, you think it's a priority to get out of the city, rather than detain me, than things have gotten bigger so far. You won't be able to get away with it right away because the guards are blindfolding you regarding the city's entry and exit, but you can't keep doing that for weeks or months. After that, the wall won't be able to get over it with the wall first)

The walls that cover the city, not just the city of Gilm, can be described as a kind of magic item. There are several effects. Something about increasing the strength of a wall, or shocking someone trying to get over a wall. Or that we can tie the line by covering the sky over the city as a measure against flyable monsters. Most importantly, it is not always activated to require the corresponding magic for the last junction, but it was Ray's decision that in this situation he would be alert to some means of flight to activate the junction.

(That said...)

Whimpering, past the back of the brain is a magic item that enables metastasis, supposedly created by the Bestian Empire.

(If you can use that magic item, I'll interrogate you, but it's pointless to tie the line. There's a good chance he's not in the city anymore.)

"Ray, what's wrong?

"Oh, no. Nothing. Nevertheless, I think this city that we make is essential to the noise. Ever since I came to this city, there's been a lot of discovery of orc settlements, mine closures, and transporting demonic fever material. And now it's a raid on the knight."

"Sure, there are more cases than usual, but this is a borderline. Regardless of this raid, it's about every few years that Oak creates a settlement.... Well, that's just rare for a Knights raid"

Kenny sighs in the dark somewhere. Even for always bright Kenny, the knights, arguably symbols of protecting the city, were raided and killed, apparently fuelling anxiety.

"Mr. Kenny, is this okay?

"Ah, yes. Wait a minute.... uh, yeah, no problem. So, Ray, that means you're gonna get this nomination request, right?

"Oh."

"Okay. I'll take care of it later. That's enough.... be careful."

Kenny asks Ray if he will accept the nomination request when he confirms that there are no problems with the documents he received from Langa.

When he nodded and announced his acceptance of the request, the nomination request was concluded at that time.

"Then I'll get it to my boss ASAP. Let's go to dinner when this is over."

That said, Kenny disappears into the back of the counter.

"Well, shall we go back to HQ too? Basically, Ray, I'm gonna need you to stay in HQ until the case is solved."

I'm going to pack up a story while I'm out of the guild and getting a request with Langa.

"You mean when the Raid Squad comes after me, don't get involved."

"I also have that, and I expect it to be a force in the event of a sudden assault if I find a hiding place for my enemies. Anyway, I'm sorry to say this, but even though the guards are used to rough stuff, basically the main thing is to catch people fighting and stuff. Of course, there's quite a bit of killing in fights between adventurers, but it's still a bit harsh when people ask if we can do the existence behind the country against each other.... I guess the salvation at least means that the Knights are actively cooperating with us. Anyway, unlike the guards, a knight who exists as a pure force of war to protect the city has been raided and killed. Even for the Knights, there's something about face."

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

I find Ray and Langa coming out of the guild, and Seto approaches me with his throat ringing.

Seeing the risen ceto, the children, adventurers, merchants, or city dwellers who stood in the ceto also exhale an unfortunate sigh before scattering.

The number was smaller than usual because of the snow, but that would have been irresistible in a way.

Say hello to Seto for a while.

"Gru."

I saw Langa stroking Seto, and there was something fuzzy I could think of.

That's a familiar development for TV dramas and such, police dogs.

Of course, Ray also understands that Seto is a Griffon, whose body belongs to the lion, or feline family, but Griffon, therefore, his five senses are sharp, and he also has the ability to sense magic. Especially sharp smells were also proven when they entered the area, which is an undead nest in the dungeon.

"Hey, Langa."

"Hmm? Something?

Ray hangs out to Langa, who was enjoying the smooth hairy feel of Seto's back.

It was Ray who was lost for a few seconds about whether it was something I could come up with, but I guess I noticed that Ray was lost. Turn your bearded tough face into a serious look and gaze at Ray.

"Say it. As much as I don't know what it's about, it's probably something to do with this case, right? Either way, I don't have a clue right now. Then even if it's not clapping, it might be helpful."

"Really? For once, I'll tell you in advance, this is just something I came up with, and I can't say for sure it works... is that okay?

"Oh, no problem"

I was craving clues because I don't care if it's langa or any little thing. I don't know what kind of opinion it would be if it were possible, but it was rather welcoming.

You understood Langa's thoughts like that, breathe a small sigh, and then Ray opens his mouth.

"As you know, Seto is a Griffon, and his ability to feel five senses and magic is sharper than ours."

"I'm sure you do. Anyway, it's a Rank A monster. Obviously more capable than any other monster in the area."

"That is. Five senses... the sense of smell is extraordinary."

"... Huh!? Right! I see, I certainly didn't think of that. Not with the nose of a dog or a werewolf beast, but it's certainly possible with a monster as high as Seto."

I guess Ray's word was totally unexpected. After a few seconds of silence, he dyed his face stunningly and eventually nodded as excited as he was.

Originally, the guards have dogs and werewolf beasts so that they can be traced in terms of smell as well. Still, there was the effect that the carriage was burning out, and we couldn't keep track of the smell. But. Langa's eyes are directed toward Seto, who is looking up at himself with circular eyes.

"If Seto..."

As far as looking at it this way, it just looks like a bit of a big love animal no matter how you look at it. But still, it's definitely Griffon, a high-ranking monster in front of us. This doesn't necessarily get us under the raiders for sure. It was nothing but laziness for Langa not to try it, even though she said she still had the means to try it.

"Ray, Seto.... I'm sorry, will you come with me to this raid place?

To Langa's question, Ray nods silently. Seto also agreed by making a small noise in the back of his throat.
