Legend

With the sun setting and Exil wrapped up in darkness, the four were on their way to the Marchelle family, which was also an end: Ray, Vihera, Büne and Nakt.

Beyond having the purpose of helping Teevia, who is being captured by infiltration, there is also the problem of catching the attention of the surrounding area if you can see him running openly by saying that there is no way he can travel in a carriage as usual, and he walks around the city somewhat quickly.

"I don't care how it catches people's attention more than Vihella does."

"Oh, really? As far as I'm concerned, I don't mean to."

"... can you remember your appearance, outfit, and reputation before you say it"

Even if Vihera returns that to the word out of Ray's mouth, she returns it almost reflexively to that word as if she didn't understand her appearance.

Fortunately, nowadays, thanks to the darkness already engulfed in the night, the gaze from the surroundings is not directed as it is during the day, but many nevertheless turn their gaze to the luscious appearance of Vihella and its appearance like a dancer when the Rays pass nearby.

(If we get a little closer to the Marstells, we'll be less crowded.... Thinking about it like this, it hurts not to have Seto. Because you're drunk, don't give a shit about Vihera, who's called a madman or something. No, I guess that's all Vihella can do to attract a man)

Ray whines inside, ignoring being whistled by two pairs of men with drunken, thin cheeks red.

Because I thought if there was a griffon ceto over 2m in length, there wouldn't have been anyone who would give a little bit of a detour, even if he was drunk.

Ray himself has the alias Deep Red, but that's only Seto and Set. From what Ray looks like right now, you won't be able to judge him as a very, but awesome adventurer.

Needless to say, I'm only 10 years old Bühne.

Among other things, surprisingly, it was Nact who could be said to be the most useful of this line.

He is known as a bandit with a blade of sound, which is also a party of some fame, and if he notices it, he is neither drunk nor weirdly tangled.

Or even those who don't know it, if Nakt, the strongest aspect of this, stares at it, he pulls it off a lot.

Yes, like the two people who have now whistled toward Vihera and Ray, for example.

We continue along the city at night interacting that way and continue along the less crowded back roads with guidance from Nact and Büne...... Eventually we see the sight of the Marchelle family mansion illuminated by the moonlight in the distance.

Unlike buildings throughout the city, Nact opens his mouth with a gaze at the mansion, illuminated by several lights.

"You saw it.... Let's proceed more vigilantly from here than ever before. Beaune."

"Mmm."

He exchanges his gaze as the same bandit and quickly shifts his gaze to see if there are any suspicious places at all.

But happiness or unhappiness doesn't seem to strike me, and I'm getting closer and closer to the Marstells' mansion.

"... free time. Why don't you attack me at once anyway? I hope you're a strong opponent."

"We're gonna infiltrate, so we're not gonna make a scene here."

It was Vihera whining with her wet gaze at her armor, but behind it, she whispers to Vihera's back so Ray wouldn't get in the way of two bandits sighing.

A white back enters sight over that cloth only for clothes that look like multiple layers of thin clothes.

No, should I say that its luster is more accentuated in the downpour of moonlight?

Besides, there is no way I can imitate that I would fall in love with that back in this situation. Ray moves forward concentrating his consciousness behind his back so that he can respond to enemy raids at any time.

As a line, it is in the order of Nakt and Bühne at the beginning, followed by Ray at the end in Vihera. Then naturally Ray's role was to prepare for an ambush from behind.

But there are no signs of enemies attacking behind such a line of mindset.

Keep walking, and eventually the line that arrives just to the side of the Marchelle family mansion is more strange... than suspicious looking at each other.

"What do you think?

"The possibility is that you haven't yet detected the Azit of the Slam being raided?

That's what Vihera returns to Ray's words, but Nact tilts his neck.

"Exactly. I don't think the Marstells are that dull on information..."

"Then why haven't you been greeted?

Disgruntled words leak out of Vihera's mouth.

He came all the way to the Marstells to fight the mighty enemies, but even the miscellaneous fish wouldn't show up.

I have a strong feeling that if I try to make it nact, it's something I should be happy about because it's intended for infiltration, but in the first place, Vihera doesn't know her counterpart named Teevia, and she doesn't feel that much need to be concerned about it.

But I don't think Ray can blame me for saying it, so I don't say it just because I think it in my heart.

"I think if you think about it without difficulty, you're attracting the person who came into the premises not to get away with it... what does Ray think?

"Ma, that would be most likely. Are you confident in your power of war as a Marchelle family, or do you have some kind of trump card that overturns it? Either way, you're gonna have to go inside to help Tevia."

"Indeed."

Ray, who returned the words lightly to Nact, nevertheless looks around just in case.

I don't have the bandit-specific observation eyes, like Büne and Nakt, but Ray's body is made of Zeppyre, and his five senses are sharp, and his eyes are usually sharp at night.

But even if you look around with that gaze, it doesn't look like the kind of raiders in particular are hiding.

The only exception would be the two gatekeepers in front of the gate, but even that gatekeepers look everywhere.

The condition looks rather creepy, whining in sigh.

"If there's nothing so far, don't hesitate to sneak in the other way."

"Nevertheless, as Ray said, there's no way I'm not going in there to help such a thing as Tibia.... right? I'll let you go first."

That's all I'm saying, just because I can't help standing here, Vihera kicks the ground and quickly heads to the Marchelle family mansion.

Still, I guess I'm walking to a wall a little further away rather than the gate guarded by the gatekeeper, because I don't want to make any noise here, even for Vihela.

Or if it was bright, the gatekeeper might have felt something suspicious about how Vihera was doing. But now it's already night, only the moonlight and the magic items inside the mansion when it comes to light sources.

It's bright enough, of course, compared to other places, but it would have been no if they had told me if I could properly see a presence like Vihera.

Moving straight to the point where the gatekeepers were blind spots, they jumped after a few steps of escape, touched the statue of a bird attached as a decoration and climbed straight up onto the wall, nodded with a small gaze towards the Rays for a moment, immediately descending onto the Marstells property.

Apparently, there's no such thing as a trap.

Nakt, who was looking at such a vihella in a pocan manner, returned to me in the words of Ray, who was whined small.

What an unscrupulous imitation for a moment I tried to be... but soon I decide it's not the case now.

Because it was something someone had to do more than sneak in, and they went ahead and did it themselves.

"Then I'll let you go first. Don't be late."

"Mmm."

Ray and Büne also move towards the position where the gatekeepers will be blind spots as they speak lightly to Nact.

Keep going, jump. Until this point it was the same as Vihera, but the next moment it activates Slapenil's shoes, jumping lightly over a wall about 5 m high while scaffolding one, two steps and the air to reach the premises of the mansion.

Afterwards he scaffolds only one step in the air and lands on a beautifully cut lawn while erasing almost all of the shock and landing sounds.

Almost the same time Ray landed, Büne also landed on the lawn again, and then he was about seconds late and Nact was also landing near Ray.

"... there is no raid here, is there? So you're seriously not aware of it?

At the moment of landing, Ray was vigilant around him with a knife he had taken out of the mysteries so that he could get around small, but not even one of the lookouts existed, as opposed to the appearance of the waiting enemy.

That's the same thing for Vihera, who first stepped down into the garden, and while stretching the sharp nails created by magic from her armor, which is also a magic item, she immediately exhales a seemingly unfortunate sigh to extinguish the nails.

"Ma, I'd rather have no enemies than I'm infiltrating... it was just unexpected that there wasn't one. If I could, I'd like to get up around here by getting directions for about one person."

I look around, frowning somewhat uncomfortably at the situation that I don't see any enemies.

"Shouldn't we have asked those Holy Light guys for more information?

"It's no use, Nact. Those six men were inclined from the bottom of their hearts to holy light. No, you can say you're brainwashing already. You think they're gonna leak information about themselves? Good and martyred. And it's also true that I didn't have time. If I had wasted my time there, it would have been slower to get here, and then I would have been caught teeving or something. You must have been in danger."

"... well, sure"

In the first place, it was Esetus, who was also a party member of Nact, who was making a scene when he didn't have time. With that in mind, I can't help but say something to the Rays here.

"But... if you don't know where that pivotal Teevia is, there's nothing you can do? You're not going to go inside that mansion and look from corner to corner. Besides, if there was a hidden room like that one in Ajito..."

"That's where you and Bühne come in."

"... I have trouble being so easily relied upon. There's no denying that a mansion as big as the Marstells' has a lot to offer from the design stage."

"Mmm!"

It was Nact showing difficulty in Ray's words, but Büne whines all the time asking him to leave it to himself.

Much smaller than myself...... more accurately I hear the girl's words, even saying she is young, and a sigh comes out of Nact's mouth.

"I get it. Whatever it is, I can't leave it to such a lady. Besides, I don't know what Esetus would say if I didn't try my hardest to help Teevia."

"Okay, you've decided to talk. Then let's sneak into the mansion and secure a guide if we can."

"But you didn't wait here, so I'm sure there's not as many people in the mansion as there are, right? I'm talking about the Marchelle family, which originally had a pretty small number of servants."

"You still have to do it"

"Oh, yeah."

That's it, and the line approaches toward the mansion with vigilance around it.

Unlike outside, there are several magic items fitted with lights on the walls, which naturally make it easier to find if you approach them.

However, there were few people in the Marchelle family who were also hired as guards, and there were no guards to blame for seeing Rays crossing the yard and approaching the mansion.

... Yes. The guards are.

"Sinnyusha 4 maykakunin. Master Helen Lac."

"Lyokai. Tyouni Tsuiteha, Ichijiyousmide"

Such, a voice that is difficult to hear in a normal human being sounds small around.

"... what? Now something..."

"Ray? What's going on?

Arriving near the mansion's walls, Ray suddenly stops moving and looks around.

But when Vihera asks him, he ends up unable to find anything particularly suspicious, and shakes his head slightly to the side.

"No, it's nothing. I thought I heard something strange..."

To that one word, Büne and Nact quickly turn a sharp gaze around.

I just look around and say if there's anything at all unusual, I don't miss it, but especially when it comes to this, there's no security person.

"Sorry, maybe it's my fault"

"Really? I hope so... because I don't know what it is. Tell me if there's anything you'll ever care about. This is the house of the Marchelles, and I don't know what more hands they're going to use than Holy Light."

Nact, who told him so, reaches for a window nearby to explore what's going on inside.

Ray still feels the kind of gaze someone is looking at him as he looks at it.

But even if I looked around, there were no signs of creatures, so I learned something that I might not be comfortable with.
