"... these guys, were you serious?

Ray grunts as he sees a member of Auga's heart plunging to the ground.

The look is more of a surprise than a fright.

He was a confident and challenging member of the Auga's heart, but without having to use Death Size, he was all lightly knocked down by a bare hand attack and lost his mind on the spot.

Ray was surprised by his weakness. I thought you wouldn't be that strong from that behavior, tone, or appearance, but still far weaker than Ray expected, rather that's what you're pretending to be weak in some kind of operation? I even suspected for a moment...... in the end, it seems that its strength, lightly defeated by Ray, was its true strength.

"Don't say that. Originally working in the city of Gilm, that might seem standard, but those adventurers have all the arms in the kingdom of Mireana, right?

Ray unexpectedly frowns as he listens to Rodos.

"I made it weak. You're too weak. Goblin's saliva was still more responsive to this."

"Goblin's covetousness... he said to you, these guys, goblin's gallstones, maybe even grudge against goblins?

Rhodos turns his gaze to Ray with a frightened look somewhere.

"No, it's not like that. It's just that... somehow."

"Those two, don't talk forever. You'll have to figure out what you're going to do. No, did you have something to do before that?"

Squirting, Min bows his head deeply toward Ray.

"Hey, Mom!?

"Rodos, you keep your head down on Ray, too. Whatever the reason for those who plundered us, it was used to connive at Ray. And even to the elk...... thanks. I will return this favor at all costs."

"I wouldn't even say don't worry about it... but you do. I need you to ask me something later."

"... thanks"

I thank him again with my head down, and Rodos, who was watching how it went, also bows his head next to Min as he was caught again.

"Thanks for the help. Sooner or later, I'll pay back this debt."

With the usual, somewhat fortified tone of thanks.

If you try Rodos, I understand that Ray is more powerful than himself. But still, it was natural that there was something regrettable about losing to younger people of the same age, and it was one of the reasons why I couldn't be honest.

Most importantly, it is true that Ray is above Rodos in terms of combat power, but it can also be true that Rodos is above him in terms of his overall power as a purely adventurer. There are also reasons why Ray is specialized in combat, but sometimes he is not good with people in the first place or has had little experience with requests such as escorts and investigations, and if you look at them overall, Ray is still lower. However, Rhodes himself is confused by the fact that the biggest factor that others expect from adventurers is combat power.

"As for thanking you, I'll do anything later.... what are we gonna do with these guys?"

Ray turns his gaze to the face of Auga's heart, named Goblin's Gallstone.

Fortunately, however, the matter of Auga's heart will be resolved without so much time.

"Ray, are you okay...? I didn't even have to ask."

A builder entered the room with a sword in one hand. At the same time, the faces of the other Ethereal Blades appear from behind them.

"Sort of. But in a way, I don't know if it's on schedule... but these guys are involved. I couldn't help it, so I let it go powerless."

"Ahhh... there's no way an adventurer in Rank E can beat Ray, who's in Rank C... and works solo. I want you to understand what you're capable of."

Words that came out of Birke's mouth following their brother were unexpectedly cold because they had been so far intertwined just because they were too young and because the number of people was less than the heart of an orga at a party of four.

"Right. I've been involved for a long time... and I thought we'd stopped it since we got our ranks up. I didn't expect you to get caught up in a higher ranking ray than us in this place. He likes suicide bombing so much... but I wish he'd kept all his fortune with me before he died anyway"

"Hey, he's not dead. Because he's not dead."

Begliff rushes into Kara with a cold sweat on her forehead.

"But this is what happened to you, Alliance Master, ignoring your immediate requests? I don't think I'll be fined for anything this time..."

"That's for sure. I don't think he's going to be able to deport the Alliance, but he's not going to be downgraded or forced to take a specific request."

Built to snort at Carla's words.

(Word blades cannot be prevented even if they are wrapped in muscle armor,)

Ray whines that way inside, watching the Ethereal Blade face exchange.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr?"

And just then, Seto peeks in from the other side of the window Ray broke in earlier.

"Oh, don't worry. Thanks to Seto, we're done."

Ray was able to ambush his enemies because of the presence of Seto. Just to understand that, Ray reaches out the window with a smile on his face to stroke Seto's head.

"Seto, you seem to have bothered me, too. Thanks."

And I thank you as Min smiles toward Seto and Ray like that.

Originally Seto and Min had been in a good mood since the first time we met, and Seto would ring his throat and reply to Min...

"That, Seto. Help..."

"Grr!"

When Rhodos calls Seto instead of telling Min to keep going, he blocks the word and squeaks sharply, staring.

Was the impression of the first meeting bad, as opposed to Min, Seto still had a hostile attitude towards Rhodos?

"Uh... yeah. Sorry, that wasn't my act."

Even as Rodos, I can't possibly complain about Seto, who just helped me, and I pull back a lot.

The building that was watching eventually opened its mouth like it had returned to me.

"And for now, you can leave it to me about Auga's heart. The Rays are on their way to the guild. Will you tell the Alliance Master this case is over? They're hostages. They want to slow down quickly."

"Right. If you do, it will help even me."

It must have been hard in many ways to have just been held hostage by a woman. Min nods and sends his gaze as Birke and Carla, who are also the same women in the words, sympathized.

Eventually, it was left to the Ethereal Blade for the end of the scene, and the Rays left the building intact for the Alliance.

(... With that said, you didn't have a Warcraft soldier after all. Well, even in the Bestian Empire, they treat you as important and confidential, so there's no way...?

Ray, who had such doubts in his heart, also decided that he would not have been mobilized this time after all than he did not appear on this occasion...

(I see. The presence of Ray, whose man has repeatedly interrupted shadow activity in this region? Sure, it's a lot of fighting... but that's all it looks like. Instead, it would be Griffon with him to watch out. That griffon has a verse that I was aware of my existence)

About 5 km from the building where Min and Rodos were held hostage. One man there existed so that he could be dispersed in the darkness of the night.

And from this place, 5 km away, we watched this disturbance from start to finish with our naked eyes.

Of course it's not what normal people can do. Even elves and dark elves that are good at handling bows, or dwarves living underground with higher eyesight than human objects, would not be visible from this position. There is also a condition of night.

But there was a verse where Seto had half instinctively perceived the existence of such a man... even though he would otherwise be outside the sensory range. After I threw Ray into the building somehow, I had to let anyone on this scene just fly over and be on guard around me.

(Anyway, what about half the failures and successes this time? Elk and Ray would have best discussed it. Still, one end of his strength could be confirmed. And that partner, Griffon, too.... When you see each other on the battlefield, you should use tangled hands instead of bumping into each other properly. Fighting a decent opponent like him is too much power drain)

He whines inside and disappears as he emerges from the shadow of the building into the darkness of the night.

"Never let my empire stand in the way of obtaining a sea of grace."

Leaving a grunt on the spot that even makes you feel obsessed.

"Mr. Ray, and you two Thunder God axes are safe and above all. I heard there was a bit of a problem in the field."

It was Verde, secretary of the Alliance Master, who welcomed the Rays back at the entrance to the Alliance in the city of Abu Ero.

Ming would have been the only one who could feel slightly softer in that tone, albeit with the same faceless expression. At least it didn't look like Ray and Rodos were changing their expression. Unlike Rodos, Ray just came to the city today, and I only met Verde once, so I couldn't help it.

"Verde, it's been a long time. I put a lot of work into it this time."

"... long time no see, Mr. Verde"

Lodos, who Minn bows his head and understands that the biggest cause of his parents' capture is the first to be caught, likewise turns his face red and bows his head in his own lapse.

"No, never mind. Our city has been helped by all the thunderous god axes several times now. If I could repay you at all, it would be more important."

I can say the words I'm talking about are very sincere, but I couldn't tell if I was really saying them if I tried Ray or Rodos because the expression didn't even move Pickle.

"As, well. Anyway. Eventually one of the three remaining was killed by a fellow mouth sealer and the other committed suicide with poison or something. There was only one person I could capture alive... Seto"

"Grrrrrrrr"

Seto showed up throbbing. On its back is a blackened man who has lost his mind. However, he bit the ape so that he could not commit suicide by biting his tongue, and even more so that he could not move... And half Min and Rodos wrapped ropes around his body like when they were tied up in return for fun, so that he could only move around the tips of his hands and feet and head.

"This is..."

Exactly was the sight unexpected, Verde turning his gaze suddenly towards the captive man for a few seconds or so.

"To prevent suicide for once. I don't care if you get roped out."

Verde nods small, still without moving his expression, at the way Min tells him with even a smile on his face.

"This man is on the lookout here, so you are all welcome to the Guildmaster's office"

"Right. I have to report this case properly.... Oh, yeah. That's the problem I was just telling you about, Goblin... it's not. Uh, yeah. They were trying to break into the spy's lair ahead of them, like the heart of an orga. So, when you do, you decide these two are in danger and I'm going in first. I suppressed the spy... and shortly after that, the heart of the orga broke in and let us fight back because we had exercised our strength to put the suppressed spy in our own hands. I may have broken my bone for now, but don't worry, there are no fatal injuries."

"That's... I'm sorry. Sorry for the inconvenience."

The three Rays headed to the Guildmaster's office as Verde dropped them off without moving their expressions.

"Min! Lodos!

The voice I heard as soon as I walked into the office. If it was Min, it was her husband, and if it was Rhodos, her father's voice was heard from a crystal for communication on Tilage's desk.

"Elk, you've annoyed me this time"

"Dad!?... Sorry."

Two people apologize for looking sorry for the elk that was copied out on the crystal.

Tilage looked at those two with a grin.

"You're safe and above all. As far as I'm concerned, I'm glad that two of the thundergod axes that were taken hostage were safe."

"Excuse me, Guildmaster. For us in a different city..."

"No, that's not what Mr. Ming cares about. Because it was over there that originally set this city on stage. Honestly, I'm not happy that you're licking me."

"Gi, Guildmaster?

Rhodos unwittingly speaks to the words as he smiled.

I guess this reaction was unexpected because he was famous for his warm personality and tirage.

But there's no way you can take the position of Alliance Master just because you're warm. Behind its gentle face, it undoubtedly hides its sharp fangs. It was the members of the Auga heart who did not understand that, and at the same time, Rhodos.

"Shall I hear this report for now? As our guild, I'd like to thank those who imitated us so silly."

With a soft smile on his face, he was Rhodos, who unwittingly retreated one step after the force of the tirage he told him so.
