Legend
0473 words
During the usual Eggzil dusk, the Rays were walking around the city after they settled the materials obtained in the dungeon, the crusade proof site, and the unnecessary Demon Stone in their guild.
Less than a few hours later, the sun sets and it becomes night, but the heat of illumination remains the same at all.
No, as I would say with Ning Lo's last ascension, the falling sunlight is bringing more intense heat to Exile.
But just wondering how hot the heat was, the people walking all over the city were vibrant.
"Ray, we're gonna go a little farther, but why don't you stop by that bakery?
"Grrrrrrrrrr!"
Listen to Elaine and throat all the time Seto agrees before Ray says anything.
In a conversation that came out today when I ate fruit at the Oasis, I guess I remembered the taste of bread I had in the bakery before.
"I don't mind that..."
Chirali, and Ray, who gazed into the evening sky, let's go! and opens his mouth as he strokes Seto's head pulling the hem of the dragon robe with a couch.
"It's evening, and it's probably pretty crowded, isn't it? Especially since it's a bakery, there 'll be a lot of hungry customers like us, or buying bread for dinner."
I guess I understood Ray's words like that. Seto, who was pulling the hem of the robe, unfortunately releases the couch and unfortunately squeals his throat down his neck.
"Gru......"
Guilt springs up from Ray's chest even though there's nothing wrong with the look on his face that I can understand as a shame just seeing it.
I guess that was the same for Elaine. He opens his mouth toward Ray as he strokes Seto's head, which is depressing.
"Why don't you just go get it? So if it seems crowded, you can give up. Besides, I'd like to buy some souvenirs from Yellow."
"Do you want a two-fal share?
Ray remembers the face of the person who came to you on the journey to Egzil and asks, but Elaine shook her neck sideways with a grin.
"Tufal's not in Egzil right now. I hear there's a friend in the village not far from here. I took a vacation and sent him that way."
"... well understood"
To the best of Ray's knowledge, a man named Tufal was a man who, as his lord... was more precisely proud of himself as his lord serving the Duke of Kelp.
I didn't think such a two-fal would leave Egzil while throwing out Elaine, who was also the Duke of Keller.
But I guess Elaine saw Ray's expression and understood what she was thinking. Smile small and open your mouth.
"Tufal hasn't been on vacation here for a while either. Anyway, me and Ray aren't planning on moving out of this Exil for a while, so there's nothing to be done here. Then I just wanted to take this opportunity to get some bone rest. Sure, I was a little reluctant at first, but, uh, what? You're drawing my feelings."
Ray snorted at those words, especially if he noticed anything.
Elaine herself would never speak in the light, but the biggest reason Tufal was told to take a vacation and accept was that she wanted Ninglo Elaine and Ray to have some time to relax rather than for her own bone break.
Reminds me of the phrase 'The Progress of Two Friends', which Tufal said just before he went out, Elaine's cheeks stain thin and red.
"Elaine? What's wrong?
Even if it's dull against romantic things, it's probably the reason Ray wants to ray that he notices a trivial Elaine anomaly.
But I've spoken to Elaine a few times, but I'm not so aggressive about Ray.
Has neglect about romantic relationships superficially affected this neighborhood by its preference to elevate itself rather than show its face to the social world from a young age?
"Yes, no. Nothing. If we're going to the bakery more than that, we don't have time to talk here. Let's go before it sells out."
Tell him so and walk down the road holding Ray's hand as he pulls.
Elaine dyed her thin cheeks red in a different way than earlier, and Ray, who is not sure what happened. And just when they could have some delicious bread, they and one of them headed to the bakery a little early in the breeze of Seto following those two.
"This... what?
The murmuring Elaine's voice disappears distracted by the murmurs around her.
Only Ray and Seto, who were on the right side, were heard because they were pulling their hands.
At the end of Ray's gaze, he stands around a bakery where he thinks Exile guards and presence are also the purpose of Ray and is alert to move into action as soon as something happens.
Instead of protecting the bakery from its surroundings, it's inside the bakery.
"What happened in that bakery?
Ray takes a distance from the guards and asks them to the surrounding wild horses.
The wild horse man seems to have known Seto, who took Ray... more precisely, and opens his teasing mouth with a small eye open to his appearance.
"Oh, they've got robbers standing and caged with customers and employees who were in the store for anything."
"... a robbery. Trouble again. Trouble."
I hear it's a robbery, a tongue-beating Ray.
It's not such a strange story that there are robbers just because the bandits are jumping around.
Exil has many adventurers in relation to the labyrinth city, and naturally it was only natural in a sense that some number of adventurers with poor predisposition would also come together.
Because there are more ordinary adventurers than that, I would not transfer them to execution unless I was confident in my arms or had no idea.
And, basically, if you're an armed adventurer, you earn more than enough if you dive into a dungeon, and although it's good that many of those who make such noise came to Exil with the confidence to the point of being excessive in their own arms, there was a lot of frustrated people to make money quickly......
"The building is already completely besieged! There's no escape! Come out with me!
"Don't be ridiculous! I... I'm not the man who ends up here! Luck, it was all bad luck! Damn!"
Ray sighs in a small way when he hears such an exchange and somehow understands what it's all about.
(That's a typical development.... Well, what's the matter)
You won't be able to buy bread and eat it today more than there has been a cage-like noise. But that's why abandoning the bakery clerks and going home like this had a bad aftertaste.
(I would definitely avoid a robber killing a clerk poorly and the bakery crumbling, given the delicacy of that bread. Besides......)
Chirali, and gaze toward Seto, who is pulling the hem of the dragon robe with a couch.
I guess you're worried about the clerk who was nice to you.
Want some help? I gently reach out and stroke my head at Seto, who's about to sue me with his circular eyes like that.
(You don't sleep well enough to abandon someone who's been nice to Seto.)
Turn your gaze to Elaine as you whine inside.
Then, as she said she understood everything, Elaine nodded silently, agreeing with Ray.
"If so... we need to talk to the guards first."
We just don't talk about it, and we decide that going into the building on our own will be a lot of problems, and we move on scratching the crowd.
"Wait, wait. This neighborhood is currently..."
Giving the guild card to one of the guards who blinded himself to the appearance of such a ray, approaching to pay attention.
Though you get an instant look of surprise on that card labeled Rank B, you must have seen the griffon you're taking with you and understood it to be a rumored deep red. Open your mouth in tone to the adventurer, not to the average person.
"Can I assume that this is how you came out of your way to help solve the case?
"Oh. That bakery is my favorite. If this kills and crushes a clerk or a shopkeeper, I'm in trouble."
"Gru!"
That's right! Seto rattles his throat all the time.
Elaine nods similarly.
The bread I ate here was delicious and the character of the clerk was pleasant.
The seller's woman who gave Seto a lot of bread, and the baker's shop owner who makes delicious bread using ingredients picked in the labyrinth and offers it at a price that doesn't make it deficit - but it's still expensive enough.
If we don't have the power to help the people we like, we still don't have the option of not moving here any more than we have all that power. For the Rays at least.
"Please, help my fathers!
"Please, I'm always taken care of by that bakery"
"Brother, are you going to help your sisters?
Those who were listening to Ray and the guards in the crowd that surrounded them can throw such a voice at the Rays.
"... just give me a minute. I'll ask the captain."
That's what the guards tell us, and we head straight for the bakery.
Later, when he came back less than a few minutes later, he had a middle-aged man in his 40s.
"It's Prattle, the captain who's putting together the guards in this area. I'm talking about you being able to help me with anything... but you won't get paid, and it's pretty cheap to get out, right? Still gonna help me?
"I'm not looking for a reward. I simply have trouble getting crushed by that bakery."
Ray returns the words, Elaine nods, and Seto rings her throat with the meaning of consent as well.
Prattle, hearing it, smiles and nods with a small smile.
"Well, you're fans of your father's bread, too. Then you're one of mine.... Nice to meet you. I've been looking after your father for a long time. My daughter Latio and I want to help out."
Ray gives a surprise look for a moment at the way he bows his head deeply.
But if I can make as much bread as that soon, I snort that even if the captain of the guard had a fan of that flavor.
"Oh, let it be. I'll... I'll definitely try to help you out more than we can help. And to be honest, bread is better than money when it comes to rewards."
"Come on, sure. Your father's bread will pay you more than enough. Okay, I'll ask your father if I can get you out of here safely."
Seto sounds his throat joyfully at Plattle's words, and Ray and Elaine are equally motivated to recall the flavor of bread they ate a few days ago.
"You, you're weirdly gourmet for a Rank B adventurer. Well, isn't it strange to always be hungry at that age?... So, anyway regarding the reward, how do we actually solve this case?
Even as she exhales, Elaine opens her mouth to the words of Prattle, who glanced at the bakery with a harsh gaze.
"How many killers?
"Three. It's just that they're all adventurers, and they have some strength."
"When that happens..."
Elaine looks around and takes a quick glance to check the perimeter of the bakery.
"Me or Ray would normally be able to handle about 3 people even if they attack....... but that makes it easy for them to notice over there. then."
So once the words were stopped, Elaine's gaze was directed above. That is, empty.
That's all Ray understands what Elaine wants to say, and he speaks to Prattle.
"Get me permission for Seto to fly inside Eggzil. Sneak in from above."
"Up there?... Oh! I see. Surely that would be completely unexpected over there."
Seto, who said that it was possible for a person to fly in this Elgin that dragon knights were the most common means of flying in the sky, was a card that was no more valid for poking at the other side of the spectrum.
"So, Elaine came into the sky after we broke into it, and it was a surprise attack."
The only thing standing in a cage is an adventurer collapse that I couldn't have done as an adventurer in the end. A trusted decision that such an opponent cannot detect Elaine's movements.
"Okay. Let's get clearance on the matter here. I need you to start acting immediately. They're in a hurry, so I don't know what to do."
Nodding to the voice of the guard captain, Ray and Seto leave the scene once with one of the guards, meaning that if they fly out of here, they may be found from a caged opponent, ready to move themselves as soon as both Elaine and Ray move into action.
It should also be noted that Ray and Seto act with one of the guards in order to show the surrounding area that the guards have given permission for the act of flying around the city, and at the same time to keep Ray's hands free if something troublesome happens.
……
Ray and Elaine nod small, gazing away but only for a moment, confirming each other's intentions before embarking on a sudden raid on the bakery.
