Legend

While suddenly surprised by Elaine's appearance in front of him, Ray and Seto head to Adria, who need to secure it first and foremost over there.

If Adria had run in normal condition, suddenly she wouldn't have fallen even if her legs had been stretched out in front of her.

Adria and I are confident in our arms, so we should have been able to avoid stretched legs.

I couldn't do that because Adria was running with magic items.

That does not mean, of course, that Adria is not using magic items.

No, although it may be the same thing in the sense that it hasn't been fully used yet.

Anyway, Adria, who was suddenly tumbled down by Elaine, tried to escape saying she was sorry to get caught by Ray and Seto so hard...

"Grr!"

Before I get up, I can't move with my back pressed against Seto's forefoot.

"Come on, this... let go!

It was Adria, who managed to ramble up, but she couldn't move when she was held down from the center of her back directly from the top.

It might have worked out if it was a human holding it down, but it was Griffon's ceto holding it down, so it was useless to resist how much.

"In the meantime, I stopped this guy because he escaped Ray... but I guess you didn't mind?

Ray nods to Elaine, who asks as she dyes the white based metal armor into the color of the sunset.

"Ah, oh. That helped... but when did you get to the guild? You didn't say a word of that a few days ago when I got in touch with you on the other orb, did you?

"Ara says there needs to be a surprise between a man and a woman. I gave it a try.... you surprised me?

The tone could be described as grandeur, but what was on Elaine's face were several emotions, such as whether she was happy, not angry, or surprised.

Most of all, the biggest part of the emotion was that it was still nice to meet Ray.

And Ray also snorts back with a grin at Elaine's words.

"Oh. Pretty surprised. But it means I'm here..."

Elaine said she would come to Gilm when it was originally spring, so I'm not surprised she's here.

I knew that, Ray, but it was still true that I was terribly surprised at Elaine's sudden appearance.

Around here, I'd say Ara's aim hit it in a way that didn't go any further.

And yet again, isn't the reason the whole city has been noisy for some time now in Elaine? And I'm convinced.

"So why were you chasing this guy? I think it means a lot more than Ray is after."

Ray also finally opens his mouth to Elaine, who asks her as she scratches up her blonde hair as if she had turned the sunlight itself into her hair.

"There have been a lot of special incidents around Gilm lately. He's a suspect."

"A special case?

To Elaine leaning her neck, Ray briefly explains the disturbances of adventurers in front of the gates of Cyclops, Cobolt and Guild.

"... I see. I honestly don't want to believe that there are people who do such imitations... what do you think?

Until not long ago, Elaine asks Adria, who was held up by Seto and managed to escape.

Note that on Seto's back holding Adria's back, at some point, a little black dragon yellow descends, and as usual, he exchanges conversations like cucumber, guru, etc.

Unfortunately, I don't know anything.

"Then why did this guy smell the rot from you?

"Rotten odor? Maybe that came when you went to a crime scene where monsters killed each other when you were crusading monsters?

"... then why did you suddenly escape? If you don't feel guilty, I don't think you need to run.

"This high-ranking monster like Griffon suddenly showed up, so it's natural to run away, isn't it?

"If you're a resident of Gilm, I'm not gonna let you tell me you don't know he exists, am I?

"Unfortunately, I just came to the Guild and didn't know Seto existed."

The moment Adria shrugged, Elaine, who was silently listening to the current exchange, opened her mouth.

"Wait. How do you know Seto's name? There is no name Ceto between me and Ray right now.... Ray, did you give Seto's name before you went after this guy?

To the words that came out of Elaine's mouth, Ray shook her neck sideways remembering her conversation in the back alley.

"No, you didn't."

"Apparently? Now, can you tell me why you knew Seto's name?"

"... it's only natural to remember the name of a famous opponent because he's here in Gilm, isn't it? Suddenly, when I came out in front of you, I ran away in surprise."

It was Adria who gave Seto's name but only gave him a look of agitation for a moment, but he immediately returns the word.

(While I'm at it, you've done something stupid. It's called being hooked on the leg, this woman is a nasty opponent in many ways.... Princess General, a substitute for more than expected)

He appeared suddenly, as if he were an incarnation of beauty.

No, anyone who lives in the Bestian Empire knows that its essence is not just beautiful.

The presence of the goddess of war of beauty, alias General Princess, was more famous in the Bestian Empire than in the kingdom of Ningro Mireana.

Such a person suddenly appeared... really suddenly and abruptly without any context.

Adria herself didn't mean to be upset about that, but she actually made mistakes that she would never normally have made.

You said you met Griffon and ran away, but you knew the name of that Griffon.

Still managed to go to Adria, who tried to delude herself, and Elaine turns her gaze still.

Pressured by that gaze, Adria still doesn't do anything to divert her gaze.

Because if you imitate that, it's like saying there's a dark spot behind you.

"Hmm, I see. I guess you have a say in everything. But there's no better way to let it go than with someone so suspicious."

"... what are you going to do with me?

"What, it's not a hard story. Just hand it over to the guards. If you really don't have a dark spot behind you, you should get a dignified security detail."

The words, if normal, would have been accepted.

If there's nothing really dark behind it, though.

But unfortunately, Adria had a reason not to be caught here.

(What do we do? means of fighting is out of the question than this has happened)

I was quite confident in my skill, Adria, but still don't think I can handle one with two Rays, Elaine and Seto.

No, on the contrary, I didn't think I could win if I hit with either of those two and one.

(Then I just have to run away...)

Nor can I do anything more than hold Seto on his back.

I have a magic item on hand that reacts to the air and produces smoke for about a few minutes, but even if I used it, there's nothing I can do about it more than being held back by Ceto.

(In that case, I have no choice but to be a big man now. Fortunately, the pants are focused on research, and I don't come to see the noise outside)

If I had pants here, I would have definitely seen Ray and had some reaction.

If that happens, you can't get away with it.

If you are someone other than this, Adria had the confidence to manage to escape by herself, but if your pants are with you, you will be stuck.

Naturally. Zuboz is originally an alchemist and not the kind of person who puts himself in actual combat like Adria.

Because even if your arm as an alchemist is top notch, whether it can be used in action is another matter altogether.

Adria opens her mouth as she exhales heartily relieved that her pants are not here while being captured by Seto.

"Okay. Well, I'll keep you company until the guards get here, so call me as soon as you can."

"Don't worry, Guild's guards are currently diligent. With all this noise..."

The guards show up just in time before Elaine says it to the end.

I only know of Langa, the captain of the guard force, and a few or so people in the vicinity who talk about the Alchemists of the Bestian Empire causing disturbances.

Still, by order of Langa, the guards now looked more work enthusiastic than usual.

As Elaine said, to the point of rushing faster than usual with this kind of noise.

"What a fuss!... Ray? Seto? And you..."

With such a scream, four guards appear half-strong from among the wild horses.

Knowing that it is the facial acquaintance who is on the spot, one of the guards turns his gaze for the situation.

"This woman is the one that Master Dusker has asked me to capture on a nomination request. Precisely one of the other people you asked to capture, who most likely knew where your destiny was, though. Is it easy to tell who your captain Langa is looking for?

If Langa's name is given, the guards have to be cautious, too.

I usually see a gentle personality langa with a rugged look sometimes in the last few days.

"Captain Langa... ok. Then should I take this woman and hand her over to Captain Langa?

"Uh... right. I'm not very good at interrogations or anything, and I think I should take it from here."

Ray, who told the bandits something that would make them cry and protest if they heard it, immediately nods back at the words of the guard.

The guard, with Ray's approval, leans closer to Adria, who is being held up by Seto.

"Seto, you're right to ask. Would you turn this woman over?

"Gru."

Seto is also not going to go against the word of the guard any more than he was listening to Ray.

After seeing the guard hold Adria's limbs in, he leaves the forefoot he was putting on his back.

"Oh, you haven't treated a woman. Wouldn't it be worth it for a man to treat you a little more gently?

That's what Adria tells me when Seto's forelegs come off and he reclaims some room, but the guards don't imitate the words to lend their ears.

At the time Seto was holding back, I fully understood how dangerous Adria was.

Adria, who was held on to her limbs, must also have noticed that the guards were not alarmed at all. I'm dissatisfied, even though I try not to put it on my face.

(I heard Gilm's guards are highly skilled and disciplined, but if you actually get caught like this, you'll see that. Now, when you have deep reds, griffons, and even a princess general to escape, you just can't. We should keep this place company for a while, huh?

Don't break your floating attitude, and while you are at it, prepare your mind so that you can escape whenever you have the opportunity in your heart.

"Unfortunately, I don't imitate Ray or Seto to insult the person they capture. You should remember that if you stay adult, you will not be treated abusively."

"Yes, sir. I don't want to be rambled up, either, and I'm making a big deal out of it. I have a chance to prove my innocence, but I won't bother to crush it from myself."

Ray remembers the speed of his earlier escape leg as he watched Adria tell him with even a smile on his face.

"I don't know if that woman is using some kind of magic item, or even physical enhancement as some kind of skill, but she was oddly fast on the run, so you should be careful. Once you let them get away, it's hard to catch up"

"... ok. I'll take you to the guard's jar right away. Ray, thanks for everything."

Ray shakes his head small and sideways to the guard who comes to say thank you.

"Never mind. I'm not irrelevant either. And I might have some leads on the store selling the magic items down the street, so I'm gonna go over there."

When told that, Ray takes Seto and Elaine back to the back alley.

The guard who dropped it off immediately makes Adria stand up forcefully with both arms grabbed.

Though I tried to remove the magic item as advised by Ray, one guard didn't know which was the magic item, and for now I grab both arms firmly from the left and right so they wouldn't get away with it.

"Come on, let's go. You have a lot to ask."

"Yes, yes, I understand. So let's just get this mess over with."

There was no nervousness at all, and Adria was taken by guards to take the crowded boulevard in the evening with great attention from the surrounding passers-by and wild horses.
