Legend

"Huh!?

Someone suddenly came into the office... or Ray, who took the Death Size out of the Mystering and set it up to fight something.

I can't make a detoured move because I'm sheltering Dusker behind my back, but Ray still had the confidence that most of my opponents could do whatever they wanted.

However, signs of a person forcefully opened as if to destroy the door are fierce and judged to be a wary opponent.

That's how he tries to make a preemptive blow with a flying slash, which is also a death-size skill... the next moment he realizes it was a facial acquaintance who came in and lowers the death-size he once had erected.

Still didn't store the death size inside the mistering, probably because the person in front of him was still in a killing mood.

If anything happens, we have to protect Dusker. With that in mind, Ray calls the name of the person who has entered the office.

"Elk, it's been a while."

Out of Ray's mouth was a somewhat stiff voice, but still against a friend.

Most importantly, many of those hard reasons have suddenly jumped in, but most importantly, they would have come in as if they were going to kick through the door.

Because I didn't know what the exact value of that door was, Ray, but I still understood that it wasn't a bit or softly priced.

I guess the elk who was called out also noticed how Ray looked like that. Accommodate the signs of the fierce beast that was unleashed from its body.

"... Ray"

"Oh. I just got back. What's wrong with you, man? I can't believe you stormed the Lords' Hall with such signs."

"... ah, oh. I'm sorry. I heard you were back.... Sorry."

Having spoken twice apologetic words, Elk took a deep breath in a calming sense... bowing his head toward Dusker.

"Sorry, Dusker. I heard about Rhodos, so I just..."

"That's right. Normally, I'm definitely being punished for disrespect or something. I don't give a shit about that because it's me."

Dusker is also the owner of a corner of skill.

That is why I was able to continue my words without showing how frightened I was by the fierce signs that elk was emitting.

If it was someone here who was unrelated to the rough, he probably would have lost his hips without being able to stand the signs of Elk releasing... or even lost consciousness.

He was also such an elk connoisseur, his wife Min... and when Ray looked around, he just came out of the open door after such an elk.

"Elk, a little more..."

I was Min trying to complain about my husband's rampage, but when I notice Ray inside the office, I stop that move.

And out of sight, looking around, to Ray again.

Silently for a few seconds, he turns his suspicious gaze to Ray...... eventually opens his mouth.

"Who are you? It's not Ray, is it?

"What?"

Ray returns the missing voice between to the words out of Min's mouth.

That would be natural, too. Regardless if you are in a hood, meeting with Dusker means you are now lowering your hood.

In other words, its distinctive female face is clearly on the table.

Not that big...... the characteristic of a person named Ray was obvious from anyone's eyes, including the small size of his back that I could describe as small as a Ning Lo man.

That is why those on the spot, including the elk, stop moving as Min's words provoked their intentions.

That's how the first thing that moved was Elk, who believed his wife's words without question.

The Lords' Hall did not possess any weapons, but with a sharp gaze, he positions himself to shelter Min, and opens his mouth as he contemplates interrupting between Dasker and Ray at times of need.

"You... who?

"No, I'm sorry about what you're asking with a serious look on your face, but I'm the real Ray you know. In the first place, who do I look like other than me?

To Ray's words, Elk also frowns small.

I just exchanged words briefly, but still Elk doesn't see anyone but Ray at the end of his gaze.

Plus, that's where it stands.

Ray's standing with Death Size in his hand is not the person around it, no matter what he thinks.

Without a doubt, he is more of an expert than he is now… and most importantly, the death size in his hand was proof that Ray is Ray.

Nearly two meters long, the blade measures about one meter.

Even a weapon called a sickle is difficult to use, but even a sickle like this cannot be taken around normally.

The only thing I like about using such a sickle is Ray, to the best of Elk's knowledge.

This would mean that for Elk, it's definitely Ray in front of him.

But behind those thoughts, Elk believes in the judgment of his wife, Min.

Yes, to the extent that I think Min's decision would be more correct than his own if he did poorly.

Still, the only person in front of me looks like Ray.

That's why I get lost.

"... Min, all I see in my eyes is Ray, you're not?

Momentum has already disappeared when he storms into this office, and now he asks Min as he gets lost in judgment and turns his gaze to Ray.

"Right. Sure, from the outside, it just looks like Ray. That item box and death size would definitely be what Ray had as well. It's just... Still from me, I don't think you're Ray"

One of the things that surprised Ming most clearly, I assure you, was Ning Ro Ray.

"How can you be so sure I'm not Ray? In the first place, you knew an item box could never be used except by its owner, right? And I'm pretty sure I'm Ray more than I use this."

"Okay, let's hear it. Why don't I feel magic from you? No, I feel as much magic as a normal wizard. But the person I know, Ray, possesses so much magic that it is strange to fit into him. That's the ability to feel magic, and once you see it, you'll never forget it."

"... oh, I see"

To the words out of Min's mouth, Ray puts his gaze on the ring that is embedded in his own finger with a convincing look on his face.

What's there is a ring that doesn't seem to have any philosophy.

But its fruit is a magic item, a legacy of ancient magical civilization, a crescent ring with the effect of disguising the magic of those who are equipped.

I was Ray for a moment wondering if I could remove this magic item in front of Minn, but Minn is a guild adventurer in the first place and has a strong perception of being on my side.

Ray gently removes the ring from his finger after deciding that it would be a lot of hassle to keep him suspicious against such a Min at a later date.

That, moment. Ming, suddenly feeling the magic released from Ray's body, retreats a few steps later.

"Ko, this is..."

"You've convinced me, apparently."

Based on Min's condition, he decides it won't be a problem anymore and fits the crescent moon ring into his finger again.

"Become!?

Once again, a startling voice rises from Ming's mouth.

That would be natural, too. Because the magic that I was able to feel from Ray until a moment ago was held up to as much in the next moment as a normal wizard.

By analogy, there were only a few droplets of water in the place where the ocean had been found, even though I had been looking at the vast ocean....... that would be the impression.

"Do you understand me?

"... that ring, right?

"That's right. It's a magic item called the New Moon Ring, and it has the effect of covering up the magic I have. I didn't have the ability to feel magic myself, but if you make him capable of that, it seems that the existence of me is easy to distinguish in many ways. A magic item to prevent it."

"Still, I don't know about magic items that have the effect of covering up the magic Ray has... where the hell did you get them? If it's all right with you, why don't you tell me?

Interestingly, Minn turns his gaze to the ring in Ray's hand.

What is already on that face is not suspicion of Ray.

Because I understand that the magic I felt from Ray when I removed the ring earlier was definitely Ray's.

While receiving such Ming's gaze, Ray stores the Death Size to Mystering and opens his mouth as he returns to the couch where he was sitting until earlier.

"It's a magic item I received as a reward for the Bestian Empire. The effects, as you can see, cover up my magic. Thanks to you, I'm not discerned by the magnitude of my magic, because I'm an ordinary wizard."

"... I do know there are magic items like that, but I don't think I can accept Ray's magic, not very much."

"You mean the legacy of ancient magic civilization, so it's made with more advanced technology than it is now.... What are you guys doing here, including Elk, after all?

"Right, I didn't think this was how I was going to be stormed by the office. Even if it's me, I'd like you to explain it to me."

To that word, I guess Min finally remembered where he was.

No, should I say that I realized that there was no point in the act of revealing the identity of someone who looked like Ray rather than remembering him?

"Excuse me, Master Dusker. I was wondering if some handyman was walking in here pretending to be Ray."

Min bows his head deeply.

With such a mint in his eyes, Dusker sighs small.

"Well, never mind. You can't help but understand the magic of the covered-up Ray if you try to make Min feel magical.... That's good. So, what did Elk originally come here to do?

"Yeah? That's you..."

Let the words out of Dusker's mouth circle his gaze to remind him of something... and eventually he remembers.

"Yes, that's it. It's about Rhodos. What the hell is that guy doing?!? No, I heard you were unconscious."

Ray was the one to whom Elk's gaze was directed.

Hearing about Ray's return to the Guild, he was naturally an elk or min who decided that Rhodos' figure would also be there, but what he came to and saw in the Lords' Hall was the figure of Rhodos, who is unconscious.

I had heard about Rodos in advance, but I guess it was still very different from hearing it from people and seeing it directly in their eyes.

There's no such thing as a particularly bad wound, Rhodos, who just looks asleep.

I actually suffered quite a scratch in the fight against Ray, but that didn't already exist due to the effects of the magic item.

That's why, from the eyes of elks and mins, it only looks unusual.

"If they say so, it would be the effect of the magic item Kabazid had on Rodos. Somehow, you said you were deprived of your will, you were brainwashed, and you repelled him for attacking me like that anyway. Then after a while, did the brainwashing go on, or was it meant to be disposable from the start... anyway, it seems Vihella protected him from wandering the battlefield during the last showdown"

To Ray's explanation, Elk makes it look as if he can indulge in anger, and Ming frowns slightly.

Of course the unpleasance is not against Ray. It's against Kabazid, who imitated our own son like that.

"... the guy named Kabazid, he's definitely dead, right?

"Oh. I lost my own life by redeeming the loss of civil unrest with my own life"

Rather than being precisely responsible for the defeat, it seemed right to Ray that he was looking for an end.

He was a very concerned person, especially considering that he was in the same situation as himself.

(When we met at the castle, if we knew what was going on around there, we could have talked a lot.)

It's been quite a while since that battle, but Ray still thinks so.

"Right. You wanted to give me guidance with my hands if you could, but there's nothing more I can do than to be dead.... So you know when Rhodos will wake up?

Ray shakes his head at the Elk's words as he asks.

"Totally unknown. I've never seen anything like this before. Do you wake up if you wait naturally or do you need some means..."

"From what I've seen, I guess I'll have to put some time aside. I can't believe I woke up just using potions. I'll see if there's any way."

Min groans and Elk snorts back.

"If you have any tools or materials you need, let me know. I'll pick it up whenever I can."

Ray, who was listening to such an exchange between the two of them, reminds me of what I need to say about Fu and Rodos.

"From Imperial City to Gilm, I came over here with my sleeping rodos... I paid the guy for that hug, so give me that share"

"Yeah?... Oh well. Rodos was asleep. All right, what's the reward?

"Two gold coins?"

"Um, that's two gold coins. Okay."

Nodding Min takes the bag out of his nostalgia and hands the gold coin from there to Ray.

Elk exhales when he sees his own wife like that.

Is that breath a relieving breath, a sigh, or something else?

The only person who knew that was him.
