Legend

"Master Ray, Master Ray, can't you hear me, Master Ray!

Seto, who fell asleep on the ground after a break after breakfast and just after, and Ray, who was leaning on that seto, opens his eyes to a voice that sounded unexpected.

"Gru?"

Seto turns his gaze as he throats at Ray, who was replacing his own belly with a pillow.

What do you do to those eyes? Willing, Ray also stands up and opens his mouth when he can't possibly act as he pleases beyond joining the Third Prince.

"Over here!

I guess I heard that voice. Eventually the soldier shows up scratching the gutters and bushes.

When I get out of the bush, I suddenly get back in shape and open my mouth to the sight that was spreading in front of me - Griffon, who is sleeping and looking at himself - although I left unexpectedly.

"Lady Ray, Lady Vihella is here for you. He wanted to introduce Lady Ray to these army executives, so he wanted me to come."

I'm somewhat nervous, but I don't see any negative emotional colors in the eyes of soldiers looking at Ray or Seto.

Ray opens his mouth while expressing his inner gratitude, deciding that Vihella had probably carefully selected the soldiers to use for the preaching.

"Okay. Shall we go soon?"

He nodded and said so, then turned his gaze toward Seto.

"So, what about Seto? Are you still resting here a little longer? Or..."

"Grrrrrrrr!"

I won't let you say it to the end, I'll rattle my throat and Seto will get up.

If you try Ceto, it would certainly be nice to be sleeping here. In fact, the sun falling from the autumn sun is lightly blocked by the woods, and this place, which is turned into a leaking day, is just the right place to take a nap.

Because you understand that, Ray strokes Seto's head up.

"Nothing. I'm fine alone, right? Seto needs to come..."

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr"

To Ray's words, Seto claiming with his throat that he too would go, turning his gaze to Ray still with his circular eyes.

I guess you decided you couldn't beat Seto's gaze like that. Ray smiles happily before nodding.

"Okay. Then do you want to come with me? I'm sorry, but I need guidance."

Speak up to the soldier who was watching Griffon and Ray's exchange with amazement, and again wear the hood he was putting down because he was eating breakfast.

"Ah, yes. Right away."

The soldier who returned to me in Ray's voice nodded hastily, trying to lead Ray and Seto towards the position.

"When you look at it like this in the light, you have quite a few people."

Ray, who was walking inside the position guided by soldiers, squeaks as he looks around.

Many soldiers get out of sight when they can point Ray's gaze at him like that, but some of them come with a caged gaze of hatred or, for some reason, an admirable gaze.

Most of them are breathtaking when they see Seto walking on Ray's side without understanding who Ray is.

In the meantime, when someone with the ability to sense magic turned his gaze on Ray, he could feel Ray's inner magic and inadvertently stop moving breathlessly, but that's just something Ray's already used to.

"Right. Some of the original 3rd princesses admire the lords, the Imperial Army and the adventurers, just like Ray."

"... adventurers too?

Ray leaning his neck at the words of the soldier guiding him.

Adventurers are also important to make money, but above all, survival is the main purpose, which is why I thought that if there was a big difference in power so far, most of them would be on the Imperial side.

Of course some freaks will be attached to the less powerful. Because Ray himself is classified as the weirdo.

"His Royal Highness Merclio, Vihera and Theorem are not only popular with the Imperial Army, but also with adventurers."

"... oh, I see"

I just talked a little with Merclio and I couldn't say anything, but it was just a story that was quite close to faces like Vihera and Theorem, and to some extent convincing for Ray.

Walking like that, he eventually arrives at a tent in the middle of the position.

The size itself is only somewhat larger than a normal tent, and Ray, who saw it, could somehow have predicted that the tent in front of him was a kind of magic tent that he also had.

"Stop."

That's what I've been hearing, two knights and I thought stood near the entrance to the tent.

Stick out the Halvard you had in your hand and open your tease mouth so you can't get through the entrance and exit of the tent.

To such knights, the soldier bows his head small and gratefully opens his tease.

"With the life of Lady Vihella, we have brought you the rank B adventurer, Lady Ray of Deep Red"

……

To the words of the soldier, the knights stare at Ray.

Fortunately, he wouldn't have worn a hood to show his face completely. If I could describe it as a woman's face, because if I had seen Ray's face, maybe he would have been insulted.

... Most likely, if you look at Seto on Ray's side, few people will have the courage to do that.

"Wait a minute."

One of the knights tells him so and goes into the tent.

After that the knight disappears, the three men on the spot wait silently.

A few minutes while I hear soldiers coming from a little further away. Eventually the knight shows up from inside the tent.

He said you don't mind if I come in.

Tell him so, and put the Halvard he had back on hand and refrain from going left or right at the entrance or exit of the tent again.

"Well, shall we go?"

The soldier in the guide told him so, and went with Ray into the tent.

Seto falls asleep a short distance from the tent and slowly closes his eyes.

The knight had a slightly distracted look on his face, but it, and all the while, Ray walks into the tent with the soldiers.

Even though it was a tent the size of a normal tent, what Ray saw going inside was a space about thirty tatami.

A reception set, such as an easy-to-use sofa and table, was available, although not gorgeous, where each of the fifteen or so people sat down and had a conversation.

Among them are, naturally, Merclio, the flag of this army, his sister Vihera, Theorem, also the belly of Merclio, and several other faces known to Ray, such as Tiyur and Gurgasto, as well as faces he sees for the first time.

(I knew it)

Next to Ray, who has a heartily convincing look on his face that this tent was a magic tent, the guide soldier opens his mouth.

"Excuse me. We've brought Master Deep Red Ray!

In the voice of the soldier, the gaze of those who were on the spot simultaneously goes to the soldier… No, concentrate on the lay standing beside him.

But Ray is surprised at the gaze he can turn on himself.

I just thought I could turn my gaze on fear, fear, and hatred, because most, except a few, were welcome gazes.

A few of them - three, to be exact - point their gaze at Ray, who can be taken as hateful, abominable, or jealous, but as Ray, I thought it would be more normal that way.

Because if you think about the damage you've done to the Bestian Empire, it's only natural that you can turn such a gaze.

However, there are no such people as Merclio or Tiyur among the three.

I did not do anything more foolish to imitate here in public than to be limited to the presence of Ray, who, for better or worse, can understand things.

"Ray, you're finally here. It was a little late, but what's up?

In the meantime, Vihera, who stood up with a grin, walks towards Ray.

In watching that, the three men who had earlier turned their hateful gaze against Ray look away from each other as if they were not funny.

You would have liked to laugh with one of your tongues or noses if it was meant to be, but if that opponent was Vihera, you couldn't possibly do that, and you just had to look at him for the most part.

Ray, glancing at those few, opens his mouth as he lowers his hood.

"If you have breakfast with Seto, take it too slow. I was out eating in the woods until the soldiers came to get me."

"Huh.... I figured I should have brought you with me then?

Whimpering, I pull Ray and take him to the center of the tent.

Note that the soldier who brought Ray so far was holding back by moving straight to the edge of the tent.

Vihera pulling Ray, but that outfit is as thin as ever as the other side looks transparent as whores and dancers wear, and if Vihera holds Ray's arm back than that, that rich breast will be shaken and crushed with Ray's arm.

"... Dear Vihella, I don't care how many people I know and who have aliases, I'm just an adventurer. I wonder if I should refrain from imitating someone I don't know with any horse bones that makes minor contact."

One of the men who was sending a hateful glance at Ray says so when he sees Vihera's behavior.

"Right. I can't help but be told that an Imperial Empress would indeed imitate such an opponent against a stranger to every horsebone."

"Mostly, he's got an alias. What... what can a kid like that do? Sure it's amazing that you're using Griffon as your obedience, but don't you rely on it all?

Cut the word off and tell the two of you who were around the first man to open his mouth to agree.

But Vihera, who is being thrown that word, had the look of gladness to meet Ray, but gradually her eyes became colder when she saw the men.

That would be natural. Sure, Ray is a horsebone who doesn't get it in many ways - naturally because he's from Earth - but it's a fact.

But that's why Vihera couldn't have been in a bad mood when she told me who she was in love with for the first time.

It is also those who once stood by Vihella who are now pretending to be faithful to Vihella and saying how they dislike Ray.

Those who ended up losing standing with Vihera and hooked on not giving themselves up to a weaker opponent than themselves, who is also Vihera's belief.

Those who came to this battle because they still couldn't give up Vihela.

Most of all, even if it was to get a vihela, if you think of joining the Third Prince in this overwhelmingly unfavourable situation, it's purely because you think of a vihela.

So it wasn't something the men could stand to say that there was a person in this army who was in love with Vihera, and even more so Ray, a one-time adventurer, even though that person had an alias.

Or maybe that's what Ray looked like, like Theorem, unless there was something powerful, majestic, or awesome that you could just see. But if you have the ability to feel magic, you can still see Ray as the only child with a woman's face.

The good news is, is it a runaway adventurer?

So it was natural to be seen lightly in a way. But...

"Oh, Ray left behind a semi-finalist at the last fight, didn't he? Besides, the losing opponent is rank s adventurer's, immovable noise"

"Become!?

"He said it was a semi-finalist at a fighting tournament..."

"Ko, do you have such a child?

To the words of Vihera, incredible...... no, men who whine that they don't want to believe.

To such men, Vihera opens her mouth as if to hang the chase.

"You may not believe that as far as Ray is concerned, for sure. So, what do you say? Want to fight for a bit? So you can understand Ray's strengths?

The words of Vihera containing a grin.

If I tried to be men, I would never have left here more than being provoked by the Vihera we were after.

Also, the fact that the presence of Ray still didn't seem strong would be one of the reasons why I didn't retreat here.

Maybe if we defeat the person in front of us, we can turn to Vihera's favor.

If they knew Ray existed, the men would look at each other and confirm their intentions silently, with an idea that would never seem that way.

(... this army, are you sure you're okay?

From Ray's eyes, the men's power is not that high. Good point, a little bit above the average knight, etc.

The fact that there are more than one such person, and that they are also in this magic tent, will be welcomed as executive treatment.

"It's okay, don't worry. Sure, those people may have a lot of problems, but they're pretty capable of being seconded as aides. Otherwise, I won't pull anything in."

Vihera whispers in Ray's ear.

I guess that appearance seemed intimate to the guys. The men open their mouths as they had decided.

"Okay. Let us see for ourselves whether the man named Ray is the right match for His Highness, Vihella."
