Legend

"If what I hear is true, it's fine here."

Ray squeaks as he looks around the room.

Near there are the figures of Elaine and Nact.

It should be noted that the three men, Vihela, Büne and Esetus, remained the watchdogs of the men who passed out near the front door, which became a place of battle.

Even though the men told me where the hidden room was, it would take a bandit to manipulate it, so Nact is here, considering it's the woman who's being captured.

Although one of the reasons for this combination was that Vihela said she was waiting on the front porch because it was unlikely to be a battle.

"... oh, apparently for sure. That's what I heard."

When Nact moved the floorboard as he examined the floor of the room, a staircase existed there.

"Heh, apparently a hit"

Ray muttered as he looked at the stairs and said it unintentionally.

But Elaine next to Ray smiles and opens her mouth.

"That's all they threatened, so they don't have the guts to lie in that situation."

"Right. Let's be frightened of them Vihera... well, I can't help it in a way."

I fought Vihera, known as the Mad Beast, so it's not strange that fear is carved into the bottom of my heart.

It couldn't have been possible for the men to try and get interrogated with a fierce grin on Vihera in such a situation and not break their hearts.

If this was the men Ray and Seto captured, it would have been different from the story, but we fought the Vihelas... more precisely, the ravaged men are only Gorotsky in Slam Street, who were hired with gold.

As a result, Ray and the others quickly learned about the existence of the dungeon.

"Let's go."

Just in case, Nact, who is also a bandit, moves on, and then Ray and Elaine move on.

Even if it's a staircase leading down to the basement, you'll be down in less than a minute.

(Probably because there's a dungeon that made this building an aside. Exactly. We wouldn't bother to get ourselves a dungeon.)

When Nact looks around thinking like that, his voice sounds unexpected.

"Who...?

"Was there still anyone who was caught? Wait a minute."

Fortunately, there were several magic items in the basement that lit up the lights, so the Rays used them to move on to the voice.

Eventually, what came into sight was a cabin in which one woman, wrapped around its body with moveable leather armor, was put in.

Though I gave Ray and Nact a look of fear for a moment as they approached me, I exhale relief at Elaine's figure next to Ray.

I still felt terrified that it was the two men who showed up, but I guess Elaine was relieved that there... more precisely the same woman as herself appeared.

You perceived it as the same woman, Elaine approached herself by controlling Ray and Nact, who tried to get close to the dungeon.

Fortunately, only one woman is allowed in now, but if about five people come in and sit down, they can't even move in with each other.

The woman turns her grateful gaze to Elaine as she approaches herself.

He is the opponent who rushed refreshingly to his pinch, and even more so for a woman, Elaine, who is as beautiful as she sees for the first time in her life. It didn't take long until the color of gratitude that was in its eyes stained worship.

"You're safe, huh?

"Ha, ha!

"All right, let's get this door first... do you have a key?

"... no. Because the men who grabbed me have..."

A woman who leans down to be ashamed of not being able to answer adequately to her own goddess of salvation.

But Elaine pulls the jointed sword out of her left hip sheath and wields it with magic, just saying she has nothing to worry about such a woman.

A tall metal noise called Kin echoed around, and at the next moment the door of the dungeon was slashed vertically into two pieces and fell to the ground.

"Now we're good. I'd like to talk to you about a lot of things if I could, okay?

"Yes! Of course! Um, can you tell me your name, if you don't mind? My name is Sonrissa."

Elaine smiles and opens her mouth to the woman - Sonrissa - who tells her to do so while moisturizing her eyes.

"I'm Elaine. That's Ray and Nact.... Well, the environment isn't a bit good here to listen to. Let me hear it upstairs."

"Yes, sister!

"... sister?

To that word all of a sudden, Elaine tilting her neck small.

But Sonrissa smiles at Elaine like that and opens her mouth.

"Um... can't you?

"No, well, I don't mind..."

While confused, Elaine replies that there would be nothing wrong with it.

It was Elaine's honest feeling that even when she was in the Knights of the Dukes of Kelp, she was sometimes called a sister by a younger woman or even an older woman, but she didn't think she was going to be called that until she came to Eggzil.

Anyway, it's only unpleasant to be in the moldy basement forever, so we all head up the stairs and head back to the room earlier.

"Wow... good..."

Sonrissa, coming up from the basement, squeaks so with her relieved breath.

The sun is already setting, and I see that sun coming in through the window with a grin of relief.

"I'm sorry, it's quick, but let me talk to you. Even this one is a waste of time."

"... ah! Shh, excuse me, sister. Uh, so what do you want me to tell you?

Sonrissa, who returned to me with Elaine's voice, rushes to correct her standing.

"First, Sonrissa. When were you brought here?

"It was last night. Well, when I broke up with a party member at the tavern at night and tried to get home, I was attacked as it was..."

Three people, Elaine, Ray and Nact, gave convincing expressions to the word home.

There are basically more adventurers in Exile who come from outside, but there are also more than a certain number of adventurers growing up in Exil.

The adventurer naturally becomes an admirer because he sees an adventurer who challenges the dungeon from his childhood. Plus, you can make a lot of money quickly in the sense of making money. … but in the latter case, I am talking about putting my own life at risk.

And naturally adventurers from Egzil have a home instead of lodging like adventurers from outside.

This woman adventurer named Sonrissa was just a typical example of this.

"Last night? So, have you seen anyone else being caught?

"Huh? Well, I've been alone since I was put in that dungeon."

To Nact's words, Sonrissa returns them immediately.

I guess I expected half the answer to that, but I still get an unfortunate look on Nact's face, and go on and mouth the question.

"Well, if you have any clues as to who they are, I'd like you to tell me."

"I can tell you a clue... someone ordered me to tell you the story, but otherwise..."

I was Sonrissa, desperate to see if there was anything to lead me to, but I recall only one thing that bothered me in the conversation between the fu and the men.

"Well, this may be a real coincidence, but I'd like to have some followers of Holy Light among the men"

"Holy Light?... Huh!?

In that word, I also recall Nact.

That some of them who had attacked themselves and Esetus were embarrassed with their mouths, saying, 'Holy…'.

(The Word of Prayer of Holy Light was, 'That there is no protection of the Holy Goddess of Light'. Think of it, the guy who attacked me is also a follower of Holy Light... No, wait. The fact that you let that word stop you on the way means that you are also a follower of Holy Light? Of the nine people who have raided, one would still have had two followers of Holy Light? cleaning that up by chance is just... when)

Nact thinks in his head and mouths the conclusions he draws.

"The raid involved the Sacred Light religion, and it's connected to the Marstells?

Sonrissa opens her eyes to the words.

Because I never thought the incident I was caught would be such a big story.

Besides, Holy Light has a lot of power in Egzil today. He helps adventurers, even for a fee, and acts in various ways throughout the city.

Why would someone do something like that? That was Sonrissa's honest feeling.

But to Holy Light... more precisely, for Ray, who is skeptical of the very existence of religion, it is only a reason to be convinced of Ning Ro.

"I see. Is there a good chance that Holy Light is involved in the case of abnormal species as well?... No, when you think about the Ningro Levisole family institute, is Holy Light the only thing that puppets you?

Nact frowns small at Ray's words like that.

Unlike Ray, I honestly feel like this has been a mess......

"Anyway, shouldn't we get some information from the guys that Ray's got him? If Holy Light is really involved, and if Holy Light is connected to the Marstells, it can be a lot of nasty things."

"Oh, yeah! Before this, there was a protest between the Silva and Levisole families, but if there is another protest between the Silva and Marchelle families here, and even more involved in the Holy Light religion... If you do poorly, there may be an intervention from the Kingdom of Mireana..."

Elaine slaps her shoulder lightly as she calms down to Sonrissa, who is about to panic.

"The current story is only if Nact's predictions are correct. More than that, Sonrissa was caught here overnight. Families and party members will be worried, and you should get back early. … for once, we may hear from the Silva family later, but please take care of the situation at that time."

"Oh, the... what do you do with your sister?

"I've got a lot to do....... Ray"

"Oh."

Having understood what he wanted to say with that gaze alone, Ray heads straight for the back door with Elaine.

"Can you give us a minute to interrogate him until we get there? I want to take Esetus and the others with me."

I was wondering if I could let Esetus participate in the interrogation, Ray, but I nodded back at Nact's words and headed to the back door, deciding that he would not be convinced either way.

"Gru."

It was Seto's such a roar that he welcomed Ray and Elaine, who arrived at the back door.

Turning his gaze to the fainted men as he stroked his head small, fortunately no one has regained consciousness yet, falling asleep on the ground in the condition represented by the tuna and ray fried to land.

"Well, by the time Esetus and the others get here... well, let's not get away with it"

Whimpering, he takes the rope out of the mistering and ties the men's hands and feet.

With all hands and legs tied together with one rope at a time, it's a tie one can never get away with trying to escape.

A few flat handed slaps on the cheek of the man who was closest as it was, the man finally regains consciousness.

"Hmm... what... Huh!?

You must have remembered something before you regained consciousness and lost your memory in seconds. I try to get up, but there's no way I can move my chest if it's trampled by a ray.

"You..."

"Should I say good morning? Anyway, you have a lot to ask."

When Ray tells that, just from the back door of the building, four people show up: Vihela, Büne, Esetus and Nakt.

I guess Sonrissa's absence is because she's already back home.

And with his gaze toward the man being pigeon-tailed by Ray, Esetus opens his eyes and opens his mouth.

"Yes, this is him! He's the one who attacked us, he was called Ogle or something!

"Apparently, it was a hit."

"You guys do this to us... guh"

It was Ogle who tried to say something back, but at the next moment the power of Ray stepping on the dovetail would be strengthened and he would be unable to utter any more words.

"The only time you can open your mouth is when you answer this question.... Now, you want to hear this first? Where is that teevia you guys grabbed now?

"... I don't know."

"Heh? I think he said he was bringing you in somewhere when you guys were trying to get out of here."

Ogle listening to Ray like that and still looking away without opening his mouth.

"The Marstells"

Ogle reacts to Ray's words with a potpourri and a grunt, only for a moment.

Those who watched nearby hardly noticed, but Ray, who stomps on a man's dovetail and prevents him from moving, feels his body tense, albeit momentarily.

"Apparently correct"

I already heard and knew from the informant Serracant that these men were originally in and out of the Marchelle family. That was the question in the sense of confirming it, but it turns out where Teevia was brought in anyway.

"Next question.... What's your relationship to Holy Light?

To that question, which was then released, Ogle smiles and opens his mouth just because he doesn't know the meaning of the words coming out of Ray's mouth.

"What? Holy Light? Why would that have anything to do with me?

That's how Ogle returns the word is flat, and those who know nothing would have decided that it had nothing to do with Holy Light if they saw how it went.

But Ray smiled small at him like that.
