Legend

Adria, who takes the boulevard to the guards, is grown up on the surface as if he's already noticed.

He had his arms firmly caught by the guards on the left and right, and he was firmly vigilant so that there were guards on the front and rear too so that he could not escape.

If we were to escape in this situation, that would be such a tough line, as Adria would have no choice but to do something from the outside.

In fact, the guards who were taking Adria to the stuffing station were also vigilant about Adria's movements while also being vigilant about the surrounding situation.

Being alert both inside and out can be a distraction, but I've only worked as a guard on the border called Gilm, which brings together many adventurers, including high-ranking adventurers, and the men who have dived through several training grounds before have naturally experienced this on several occasions, taking Adria to the stuffing station in a way I'm used to...

(Well, is it time? General Deep Red and the Princess seem to have left.)

Adria shrugs inside, not moving her face and checking her surroundings with just eye movements.

There was no such thing as a serious expression there, and Ning Lo even seemed to enjoy this situation.

The eye movement itself is also a skilled way of looking around while trying not to be found by guards grabbing both of their arms.

At first glance, that move seemed like a necessary capability for a bandit, not a warrior, but it was a skill that was needed more than enough, even as a warrior, not to let the confronted opponent read his gaze.

Adria, who was checking her surroundings with such a move, takes action when she decides she's left Ray or Elaine well enough.

"Hey, you got a minute?

The guard, who was grabbing his right arm, opens his mouth vigilantly to Adria, who spoke in a light manner.

"What, I'm sorry, but I'm not going to hear anything from you. If there's anything you need, you can do it after you get stuffed."

"No, no, that's not what I'm trying to say. I just wanted to ask you something. This is how the adults are taking you, so can we talk for a little while?

I was a guard who wanted to dismiss Adria's words immediately, but I had learned from previous experience that I could get important clues from casual conversations.

That's why I open my mouth even as I'm alert to Adria's movements.

"The only time I listen to you is between blockages."

"Hey!"

Scream sharply at the words of the guard who was grabbing Adria's right arm, as the man grabbing his left arm blames him.

But the man grabbing his right arm sends his gaze to the guard grabbing his left arm with the meaning of not being alarmed by the word, and opens his mouth toward Adria.

"So, what do you want to hear?

The guard takes care not to let Adria make strange moves and asks with the intention of never letting go of the arm he is grabbing if anything happens, whereas Adria even smiles and opens her mouth.

"This is how you're grabbing my arms, how soft are you as a woman? How appealing is that? For example, you want to sneak into the bedroom at night."

"... what?

I don't know what they said for a moment, and the loose voice between them comes out of the guard's mouth.

Naturally. Because I never thought I'd be told this in this situation.

If this was a word from a whore, a dancer, or a woman proud of her colour, she would have reacted with some surprise and without alarm.

But Adria was the person in the opposite position to the woman's luster.

I couldn't say exactly how physically fitted I was with the leather armor I was wearing, but still such a physically fit that I could finally understand that I was a woman after seeing it nearby.

Now, the hair is cut very briefly because it is in the way of movement.

I didn't expect that person to hear my opinion as a woman, and not just the guards I was talking to Adria, but even the guards who were consolidating the perimeter flashed for a moment.

That momentary gap is what Adria was craving.

An even more precious moment than something like silver or gold.

It was only for a moment that the guards flashed. That was for sure, but for Adria, with that moment, it was perfectly fine.

The first thing I did was handle the guards grabbing my right arm.

Even if it's processing, it's not killing you.

Drain your body and move your arms to match the movements of the guards grabbing your right arm.

The guard, who felt the movement, reflexively focused on Adria's arm...... in the next moment the movement was used in reverse, and the guard man who, if he noticed, was grabbing his right arm was defeating him from himself to the ground.

"Become!?

Suddenly my buddy tries to hold me to the ground by focusing on the action of falling to the ground where the guard who was grabbing my left arm was grabbing it, but when I wonder if a light impact ran on the tip of my jaw, that guard also collapses to the ground.

And when the guards that existed before and after Adria tried to move, Adria had already taken a crystal sphere about the size of her fingertips from her nostrils and flushed her magic, beating her to the ground.

The moment that crystal sphere is destroyed, smoke overflows.

Smoke that surrounds the area is not just smoke, of course, because it is a magic item produced by trousers.

Naturally there was more magic in that smoke than it was in the smoke produced by magic.

It wasn't that much of magic, and that was the extent of magic that could easily be produced if you were a wizard, but magic is magic nonetheless.

Even if the guards could detect magic, it would not have been possible to find Adria immediately.

More than having covered the surrounding area with smoke, the guards were not the only ones who were harmed.

Now in the evening, many people walk around the city, and those people naturally suffer from smoke.

If this was someone who was accustomed to rough things like adventurers, mercenaries and soldiers, he might have been able to cope with this trouble to some extent, but many Gulm residents walked around the city without any involvement in rough things.

Then naturally it was natural for such people to make a scene, and the surroundings were completely panicked.

Among such people, Adria runs like a sewer.

All I could feel was that people caught in smoke might have gone through something, too, than the smoke was making it harder to discern their surrounding sight.

(You won't be able to go back to your father's shop any more than you found me here. Because your father and pants are already out of the store. I've told you about the rendezvous location before, so I'm sure you'll have no particular problem with it... but I hope you haven't stepped into the deep reds before you get out of the store.)

I'm sick of thinking about rendezvous places, but still willing to put up with them, given the fun they'll be waiting for after this.

(I motivated my pants this far around the corner, so at least let me have some more fun. It's not proportionate. Besides, you might be able to enjoy it over there)

With the fun in mind since joining the pants, Adria keeps running out of the smoke-wrapped picture.

Note that a painting wrapped in smoke by Adria's hand finally calms down after the smoke disappears beautifully in a few minutes or so.

And everyone on this occasion was unaware, but a presence that had been following Adria since the time she handed him over to the guards was following him without losing sight of Adria, who escaped the smoke.

Ray and Seto, who gave Adria to the guards, and two of Elaine and one of them were coming to the front of the store selling magic items.

There is the figure of Vihela and Buune, Azimov, who were watching to keep someone from coming out of the store.

Vihera opens her eyes wide to Elaine, who suddenly shows up, and Bühne also reveals surprises, albeit uncommonly and somewhat from her usual faceless appearance. Azimov was just stunned by Elaine's beauty.

"Long time no see, Vihera.... Beaune is as healthy as ever and above all."

"Oh, we had a couple of conversations in the orb against each other. Considering that, I don't think it's been as long?

"It's not like I'm meeting a pair of orbs directly."

Exchange with a grin.

We have two people with a level of beauty that says no one will see any more, Elaine and Vihella, so this is the back alley, but it brings the glamour around as if the Great Wheel of Hua is blooming.

Azimov will be the one who feels it the most.

I was usually hardly interested in women and my research was more important than that of women and to the extent that I sometimes went to whorehouses, but now this is how Elaine and Vihella are blinding me.

If it was just Vihela, Azimov felt a little too, but he did little to imitate it as it appeared on the table.

But the moment Elaine joins him there, he takes his consciousness away from the two of them as if it had happened in synergy, and he can't keep his eyes open.

Seeing Azimov like that, Elaine turns her gaze to Ray asking him to explain who this person is.

I guess the trick was only natural for the only person I don't know on this occasion.

Ray, gazed at Elaine, turns his gaze toward Azimov and opens his mouth.

"This guy is Azimov. I'm an alchemist and I need a little help with this one."

"I see. Well, thank you. I'm Elaine."

"Oh, oh."

Elaine takes my eyes off me. Not really, the only thing Azimov could do with his mouth is get some guidelines. Reply.

It was basically Azimov, who was oblivious to the world and didn't even know the alias Ray's Deep Red, but still knows the alias General Princess.

Usually, you heard the name Elaine, and if you look at its appearance, you know that it is the Princess General who is in front of you, but Azimov is not very much right now, but he couldn't understand that.

Having completed such a greeting with Azimov, Elaine turns her gaze to the store that Vihella and Büne were watching.

He then opens his mouth with an unpleasantly neat eyebrow on the goblin bone decorated on the side of the door.

"Goblin skull?... That's a bad hobby."

"I'm selling magic items, so I guess that's the relationship.... So, did anyone come out of the store?

To Ray's inquiry, Vihera shakes her neck to the side.

"I thought there might be a kind of back door, so I asked Büne to check it out, but this was the only entrance."

"Right.... Well, then, I wonder what's inside. I wish you could be around the alchemist."

I want you to have some clue more than there's a woman who would have something to do with the alchemist.

With that in mind, Ray opens the store door.

At that time, the eyes of the goblin skull decorated on the side of the door glowed only for a moment, but the light was deluded by the sunset light and no one noticed it.

"... nobody, you know"

A light peek inside the store tells Ray.

The tone is so mixed that there is no more doubt or distrust.

The woman earlier... More than Adria came out of this store, of course, there was a shopkeeper in this store who Ray had met.

But even looking around the store like this, there's no one there now, not even a sign.

"This door was well watched, wasn't it?

Vihera and Buune nod back to Ray, who asks him to confirm.

Of course Ray doesn't seriously think these two missed out on the store owner sneaking out the door either.

That was just an inquiry to confirm.

I guess that's why Vihera and Buune nodded quickly, too, because we know that.

"Because I just think there's some kind of escape route somewhere that no one would know..."

"But there's no such thing as a hidden door on the walls of this building, is there? That's what Bühne looked into, I'm pretty sure."

"Well, I can't think of a hidden door that even Bühne can't find."

Ray also puts his trust in Bühne's skill.

He was diving in the dungeon solo until he joined with Vihera.

If you think of it as a bandit, you definitely have a certain arm.

If there's such a hidden door that you can't even find in the eyes of Beaune, it would be a substitute that you can't find in Ray anymore.

(If it's Seto's five senses or something, I might be able to find it)

Thinking about his own partner, Ray asks Büne pointing to the ceiling.

"You didn't just check the walls, you checked the top, right?

"Mmm."

Bühne replies briefly, taking it for granted.

Beyond being a one-story building, it's not a hard story to get up on a roof if you have the ability to do as much as a beaune.

"No walls, no upstairs. Unlike the magic formations used to use metastatic stones... this is the only place left."

Ray kicked the floor gently and showed everyone that it would be here with a hidden door, or entrance to the escape route.
