Legend

Murder directed at me.

Ray's body was moving reflexively to the wind-cut sound he heard at the same time.

And one stick that is passing where my body was until a moment ago and piercing the ground.

Ray, who saw an arrow feather on the back of the stick and decided it was an arrow, understands that this was an attack aimed at him... an assassination.

Turn your gaze toward the direction the arrows flew, but there are several cadet school buildings there.

At the same time, there are groves near the school building, from which it is impossible in an instant to determine where we have been aiming.

Remove the Death Size from the Mystering and scream sharply.

"Seto!"

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

In response to Ray's call, Seto, who was instantly in a battle posture from already falling asleep the moment the arrow pierced the ground, jumps right out.

All the students around them had a uniform look of surprise in Seto, who headed straight for the school building.

Most of all, only the students have a surprising look on their face.

Grink, who has a mock warfare class with Ray, saw with that eye an arrow pierced the ground the next moment wondering if Ray had suddenly moved.

"Mr. Ray, are you hurt?

"Oh. Fortunately, it was the presence that stripped me of my killing spirit that shot the arrow, so I could detect... but I didn't expect you to be targeted for my life inside the cadet school."

"Excuse me, I'll report this matter to the dean immediately."

"Do that.... and you shouldn't have any students on my side right now. Luckily, the students don't understand why I suddenly took out the Death Size. No, maybe with the snowball treatments, I decided... that's fine for now"

Thanks to the presence of Ray in front of the arrows, we have not seen the arrows pierced to the ground by the students.

That being the case, it was true that Ray only seemed to have taken out the death size without any context.

"Oh, man. That big sickle... Maybe that one..."

"Oh. They call it synonymous with deep red. Magic item"

"But what's all of a sudden with a weapon like that?... No way."

"Wow, Team C is dead. This"

"No, we haven't decided on the bottom line yet, why?

"You're lying, aren't you?... Hey, do I really have to fight that Ray? Um, did you have a vicious sickle to see?

"Yeah? That? I don't have a griffon, but where have you been?

"You weren't watching? He ran toward the school building, didn't he?

"... why?

"Come on, I don't know what Griffon thinks."

"Dude, maybe Griffon's attacking a student or something... that wouldn't happen, would it?

Ray turns his gaze to Grink as he hears each of the students talking to someone nearby.

"Thanks to the concentration on snowball, the arrows have yet to be noticed. Can you ask for it?"

"Yes, immediately.... So, what do you do with Mr. Ray?

"In the meantime, you should retrieve the arrows this way. You'll need to take it as evidence to Erinde in the dean's office later. Maybe we can pull some information out of that arrow."

It only looked like an arrow in Ray's eyes, but there was a prospect that he might get some information from things like making arrows, making arrow wings, etc.

Although it is a prediction from something close to the simple assumption that you will be familiar with bows and arrows because you are an elf.

(Besides, I'm unconscious, but for once, I'm in the royal mess, and I'm supposed to be protected. I mean, I was raided ahead of that protected... Kings after all? Because of me, I was crushed to the point where there was no more face, and as a result, the storm of Shinji Solemnity is blowing.)

Grink opens his mouth instead of Ray while the students are watching.

"Gentlemen, thank you for your hard work in class today. I was supposed to punish the bottom team, but I and Ray have done a little errands after this, so please keep finishing the class today."

"Wow!

It was naturally the B and C teams that could have been at the bottom of this snowball match that gave Grink a shout of joy in his words.

The other students had a complex look on their faces against such two teams.

A look that feels like envy, sloppiness, good, is probably because we understand the harsh punishment we might have received.

Starting with Team B and Team C, the atmosphere of relief spreads to the rest of the students... but Ray opens his mouth as if to break it.

"When it comes to punishment, it's just a temporary hold. Make sure you are prepared because you will punish either… or both properly for the next class. Then dissolve."

Exactly, the students of Team B and Team C, who have understood the feeling of hell from heaven, head back to the school building with a dark look on their face.

Some of the students seemed to have slight doubts about the facades like Ray and Grink, but still head to the school building without saying anything in particular.

Some seemed particularly concerned about Seto's condition, but in the end that is not put into words.

Something to say here, to make Ray look worse...... I had the thought that that would make him get the same rigorous training as Team B and Team C, and he would have liked to warm up as soon as possible because it was snowing and cold.

Even if I work out routinely in cadet school, the cold stuff is cold.

"... you've gone"

"Yes."

Ray and Grink make sure all the students are back in the school building before turning their gaze to the arrow that pierced the ground again.

The area around that arrow, which penetrates the accumulated snow and pierces the ground, is discolored to purple.

It would be obvious that it wasn't just an arrow that stabbed him, it was painted with some poison.

"I'm glad the students didn't see you...... Ray, you're well safe"

"Oh. That was a tough one. Plus, I guess purple is getting so intense because it's snow. It's easy to stain the snow with poison."

"I guess. But the fact that you are using a poison that seems so powerful..."

Glink looking toward Ray looking worried.

I have a strong face, but that look of wonder and Ray worrying looked like some sincere expression.

(No, I'm sure it doesn't mean I'm seriously worried about this one because it's a strong side)

Ray whining on the inside, but the fact that he's targeted with poison arrows but hasn't got that serious a look on his face, I guess, is because he still trusts his body's resistance to poison.

"Anyway, I can't help staying here. I hope Seto was able to capture the assassin... but that didn't seem to work either."

At the end of Ray's gaze, there was Seto's appearance toward Tobotobo and himself, who deservedly described him as dropping his shoulders.

Storing the arrows piercing the ground in the mistering, he strokes his head to encourage Seto.

"Don't worry about it. He's the one who's attacking me in a place like this. Naturally, you had some means of escape up front. Don't let Seto's nose follow you."

"... it's a griffon, and you can mostly predict that the five senses will be sharp."

Tell Grink to encourage Seto too.

But Grink didn't do anything like stroke Seto like Ray did.

It's not that I'm scared, I guess I don't like that kind of behavior originally.

"I'm going to see the school director... Seto, what are you gonna do?

"Gru?"

What do you want me to do? And tilt my neck Ceto.

"You come to the school building where the dean's office is located, too, or you go back to the stables.... Seto isn't well known yet, because we can't let him act freely here. I'm sorry."

"Grrrrrrrrrr......"

Never mind, he shook his neck sideways and Seto rubbed his face straight to Ray.

"I'm sorry.... So what do we do? If you're going to come to a school building with the dean's office, you're going to have to wait for me in a place that no one else can see."

"Gru!"

I will! Tell Seto.

For Seto, someone targeted his favorite Ray.

I just wanted to be as close to Ray as I could as Ceto, just to understand that.

So that I can protect Ray whenever and no matter what.

Seto is strong enough too...... that's what I meant to know more than anyone else in the world, but still my own partner, husband, friend and brother...... it was only natural for Seto to want to protect my favorite Ray in so many ways.

I rub my face against Ray again to let Ray know how I feel.

I guess you understood how Seto felt. Ray grins happily too, stroking Seto's head over and over again.

"So do you want to go"

Ray nods at the words of Grink, who was looking at one of those.

"Well, even if we kill time here, over there... we'll just give our enemies respite"

Fortunately, it was not in his position to release the arrows in this raid... or to such an extent that he could avoid the arrows at some leisure because he was not the kind of opponent who stood up.

However, it may not be the price, but we were unable to secure this raider.

What future will this lead to? Though somewhat anxious about that, Ray and Grink, Seto head to the school building with the dean's office.

(Plus, considering the school director is using the little birds to look around the school, maybe there's some clue)

With such slight hope.

"Ha, ha, ha..."

The man exhales rough.

I never drew anyone else's attention for a place where no one was around, but if anyone was here, I would have had to wonder what had happened to that breath absurdity.

Still, if I keep exhaling rough for a few minutes, I can finally afford to think about something.

"Damn, you weren't concentrating on this one. But how can you dodge my arrows in that situation!? Damn, damn, damn, I even used heavenly tears... that monster!

Step over the magic formations written on the floor in frustration.

If I had lurked in the place where I shot the arrow like that, I definitely think I would have been caught.

That was obvious when you saw Griffon coming straight to where he was.

If I had been delayed in using a metastatic stone at all, I'm pretty sure I would have been dragged out in front of Ray by now.

"What am I supposed to do when I have to take his neck off somehow, and Griffon's on the escort... I knew I had to wait for those people to come?

Manage to calm down the frustration and breathe deeply.

If you keep smoking, puking, sucking, puking... and repeating, eventually the irritation will subside and you can finally think about the next thing.

"Right, I'm sorry I couldn't kill the big enemy Ray this time, but still, this is how I survived. I can't give up so easily here to respond to the generosity of the guy who gave me his information.... Right, right. I'm sure it is. I can do it. I can do it for sure. I have the blessing of a holy goddess of light."

Turn your gaze again to the bow in your hand and at the same time remove the small bottle from your nostrils.

The poison that had been painted on it was a very powerful poison called the Tears of Heaven, and I was convinced that my victory would be determined if I let him suffer even from a scratch.

The man has been told that it is a poison created by the power of the goddess of light and not something that can be easily used if it is meant to be.

This time, the enemy of our faith… it was also a substitute given to us by the priest on the grounds that we would use it against those who would be regarded as great enemies.

"Yet... I didn't know that would fail to inflict divine punishment on the great enemy... because I didn't have enough faith. Damn!...... but that's not the end of it. Few followers of Holy Light are lurking in the land. I didn't think it would be useful to dive underground with the repression I've been subjected to since last fall."

Next, there's still next, the man tells himself.

The voice echoes inside the dark room, focusing more on the man's consciousness.

"The great enemy kills. I will kill you. I will kill you with this hand. With the power of my faith, I can never dispose of an adventurer with an alias. Heavenly punishment from the goddess...... no, divine punishment. Deep red, thou shalt know in regret the mercy of the great goddess of light."

Grab the bottle gently.

For a man, the bottle is poison, not poison.

Because it is a grace from God and a testament to the fact that I am watched by the goddess of light.

"All under the mercy of the Holy Goddess of Light"
