Legend

A dazzling light plunges into the room.

Ray wakes up on the bed where he was asleep, in the light that he can't already call the morning sun.

Looking straight at the clock hanging on the wall, it was already somewhat past 10: 00.

Only the Golden Wind Pavilion, a luxury accommodation for nobles and big merchants, is used to lubricate magic items for comfort.

This situation, for example, where you can stay cool without feeling the heat at all, even near noon in the middle of summer, or the clock at the end of Ray's gaze, is also there.

"... you slept too much. No, it was late yesterday, so can you help me?

I remember last night as I scratched my head.

The Marchelle family search was finally over by the time the date changed.

After that, he promised Bosque he would visit the Silva family the next day, and Ray and Elaine went to sleep trying to come back to the Golden Wind Pavilion and fall into bed in their room, and it was now that Ray woke up.

"Uh... do you want some breakfast for now? No, is that lunch?

I quickly get in touch with myself as I endure a slight lack of sleep and the temperatures that are not too hot and not too cool to want to fall back into bed again.

Eventually, as usual, Ray's head was completely drowsy when he wore a dragon robe.

I guess this neighborhood is also a function of a body made of zeppails. I don't mind because it's convenient.

Ray sighs unexpectedly at the sight he sees there as he descends to the ground floor where the dining room is located, thinking in his heart that way.

Elaine sitting at the table eating breakfast such as bread and soup, salad, bacon eggs and fruit.

That was an unexpected sight, but for some reason Vihera and Büne, who were eating the same meal at the same table, were unexpected.

For a moment, although I remembered the sinister atmosphere after yesterday's battle with the oliqueur, I would order a light breakfast before putting it on the same table as Elaine, while fortunately not imitating it to scatter such an atmosphere in public.

By the way, I guess there's also a reason why Ray the Big Eater did it with a light meal, because it's still noon in less than two hours.

"Oh, good morning. Did you sleep well last night?"

I nodded to Vihera, who Ray had asked as he sat in the chair, looking around before breakfast and drinking the cold fruit water the waitress had brought.

Even though it is already close to noon, there are still a large number of guests in the dining room, exchanging words with the guests who are near them.

The other day, there was a protest between the Silva and Levisole families, and now the Silva family attacked the Marstells. A lot of people are worried about things.

"What is the Silva family thinking!? Maybe we're trying to take control of this Exil!

"Stupid, that's never going to happen. I know Bosque, but he doesn't like to be so annoying."

"But in reality, we're waging a war with the Levisole family, the Marstells, in this short period of time. The results prove everything."

"Actually, not Mr. Bosque, that butler...... did I mention Sanctions or something? You don't think he's pulling a thread in the back?

"I see, even cutters are rumors. Are you making your own Lord dance like a good one? It's possible."

"Hmm... you do look like a cutter, but from what I've seen, you didn't seem to betray the Lord, did you? One way or another, it looked like we were tied together in a tight bond."

"If that's what you call a cutter, it's not that hard to fix it."

"Whatever. I hope the noise stays the same, but if it's going to continue any further, we'd better get out of Egzil as soon as possible."

"Nice, that way. I just got into Exil three days ago, so I was just about to start a business meeting."

"Weapons... I guess not. Somehow it's just a labyrinth city, and the blacksmithing skills here are high. I knew it was food without difficulty?

"But I heard you can get some pretty lush food out of the dungeon, right? Especially not the meat of monsters."

"No, no, if you have some money, the average person usually buys food that's being transported from elsewhere."

"There's talk of a guard heading for Holy Light... what does that have to do with anything?

"To Holy Light? There's something unexpected going on here again."

Ray puts a glass of cold, cold fruit water on the table as he overhears the surrounding voices that sound that way.

"You could say you slept well. I feel like I haven't slept long enough because it's time for me to come back."

"Really? Well, Elaine tells me it was a lot harder after me and Büne left?

"Mmm."

Beaune nods as she carries the apple-like fruit into bite-sized pieces into her mouth with a fork.

Even for Elaine, you're not going to cause a commotion here. I snort heavily at the words of Vihera and Büne.

"Oh. Mar... No, I don't mind calling a distant relative, but that's the kind of guy who doesn't know anything about it. You know, listen to yourself. Something like that."

I didn't utter words like the Marchelle family or Bosque because I thought if I uttered it and the dining room guests around me asked me, it would be a hassle.

If the adventurer was the only one around, I didn't expect him to give a glimpse against a combat fanatic named Vihera, or the survivor of the Fraut family, Büne, or Ray, who recently became quite famous even in Exil, but there was a perception in Ray that if it was a merchant, he would treat it with a soft attitude and not let it go until he drew information while he was there.

Even for merchants, the situation in Exil and the trends in the Silva family that will be at its heart are events that may be directly linked to their lives. So it is only natural to try to get some information.

(Ma, maybe I think too much)

Ray whines inside and looks around.

There many merchants are discussing it with someone nearby to get some information.

Some of them were adventurers, and some of them appeared to have participated in yesterday's disturbances, but there is no way they are talking about yesterday, especially if they didn't like getting caught up in such an opponent.

"Thank you for waiting, this is breakfast."

Ray, who had breakfast brought in by the waitress in such a disturbance, quickly headed to the Silva family that it would be better than getting caught up in the strange noise as it was.

"That's just plausible."

Ray groans as he looks around from inside the carriage.

I'm guessing there's already been a widespread protest around the city between the Marstells and the Silva family that happened last night.

This is also a protest between houses ruling Exil that happened in a short period of time.

It was natural for the inhabitants of Exile to be anxious about that in a way.

Most unlike the time of the Levisole family, the Lord escaped, and it was not until the night that the war broke out that there was no fighting in the city that I was calmer than before.

It must also have been significant that it was only the Silva family that actually gained the confidence of its inhabitants to rule Exil.

"Right. Besides... I'm pretty sure I can get it from the country this time. Maybe it's time to make some real noise."

That's what Elaine returns, who was looking out next to Ray.

Next to Ray opposite such Elaine is Vihera, and on Vihera's lap is the figure of Bühne.

It is not a substitute for having those two, but there is no sign of Seto and Yellow.

Ray asked me at the stables if I would come with him the first time I went out, but I chose someone to enjoy my sleep and I was sleeping with the yellow in the stables.

By now, Ray and Elaine will be traveling slowly into the world of sleep, having decided that they won't even have to take the two at present.

Looking forward to stroking the two, Büne didn't change his expression in particular, but still seemed lonely somewhere though.

Eventually, however, Bühne reaches for Vihella's thin coat and pulls it gently.

It should have been pretty dirty in yesterday's battle, but the thin clothes that Vihella was wearing now just looked brand new from anywhere.

Among the passengers in the carriage, the man's passengers look around and point their gaze at Vihella's body, but he doesn't seem to care about himself at all.

Originally this appearance only brought in opponents who challenged themselves to fight, but the gaze from a man who was neither an adventurer nor anything naturally became unmindful.

Except for the story, of course, if that's obviously a licking glance.

And the man's adventurer in the carriage is desperately trying not to turn his gaze because he knows who Vihella is.

While smiling bitterly at someone like that, I nod understanding what Bühne wants to say.

"Hmm? Oh, yeah.... Hey, Elaine. What's going to happen to this Exil?

Asked in a whisper that he could not hear around him, Elaine thought for a moment and opened her mouth.

"Right, this is only my prediction... but it probably doesn't make it the way it's always been. At least the Marstells will be destroyed. Is that good?

To the words, Ray, Vihera and Bühne nod.

Because I was convinced that that would also be an unavoidable measure if it had just caused all this commotion.

(Think about it, that guy who came to the Marchelle house yesterday would make a lot of noise... but if you make too much noise, that's what goes from darkness to darkness... what a breeze)

The face of the man who was calling out scatterly yesterday passes the back of his brain, but Elaine continues her words without the way she noticed it.

"In that case, there are two possibilities I can think of...... no, three. The first and most likely thing is that people like supervisors are sent in from the country while maintaining the status quo. In this case there may be some more restrictions, but that is only on top, and it seems that the inhabitants of Exil are not so different from their previous lives"

Buune nods silently at the words coming out of Elaine's mouth.

It would have been an easier proposal for Büne to accept than the absence of the Flaut family in the position of governing Egzil already.

"Next, it's possible that a nobleman will be sent from the country to rule the land by revoking the autonomy of Exil. Depending on which faction nobility will be dispatched, then things will change how Exil works. It may be easier for some seconded nobles to live than ever, but vice versa, they may be sent to raise taxes to put them in their own pockets."

Biune frowned slightly at the words, and Vihera, who likes the free atmosphere of Exil, opened her mouth with a sigh of sigh.

"... Whatever the former, if nobles like the latter were sent, they'd be rebellious if they did poorly, wouldn't they? There are many adventurers just because there's a dungeon, and I don't see how we can do this to the nobles who have been sent."

"I guess. And even if a good nobleman were sent, freedom would undoubtedly be less than it is now. For example, if we were to fight all over the city, we might not have guards coming any time soon."

"That sucks."

If you try to make it a fighting preferred vihela, it would be the worst thing that could happen, like the words out of its luminous lips.

At the same time, it means that many of the adventurers who like Exil today… may leave those who are also the biggest factors that are establishing them as labyrinth cities.

Not all adventurers leave the labyrinth city of Exil because of some hassle, of course. Some will have a family, like the inhabitants of Egzil, and not leave Egzil for various other reasons.

But it's not just Egzil that's a labyrinth city, there are several others. Beyond that, it was certain that fewer people, even if cramped, would continue to stay in Exil than those who would leave.

If this is a normal resident, traveling outside of Exil may be hesitant due to the presence of monsters and bandits. But not if you're an adventurer.

In the first place, we won't hesitate to travel outside of Exile because so many adventurers who are currently in Exil have done so themselves.

And it is self-evident that with fewer customers, less merchants will visit naturally.

"Right. But as far as I'm concerned, I don't think this is as likely to happen. At any rate, if you do poorly, you will be paid much less by Exil, who has paid a lot of tax revenues so far. I don't think the country will think about it."

Vihera and Buune listen to Elaine and breathe relief.

"So, what's the last possibility?

To such Vihella's words, Elaine, with her small shoulders flaunted, opens her mouth.

"It shall remain the autonomous city as it stands. If I could do this, I would still have the same magic items and materials I could take from the dungeon... but honestly, it would be difficult."

"... well, two of the three houses that ruled Exil are causing problems"

"Mmm."

I agree with Vihera, who squeals with a sorry face, Beaune.

Shaken by a carriage in conversation like that...... eventually arrives near the Silva family mansion, which is also the destination.
