Legend

Ray was the first to decide to go up the scythe that was extending from the underground passage.

Büne showed with attitude that he was going, but there's really no way he wouldn't be more alert to ambushes using magic items than having an alchemist and a magic item store owner who ran off using the underground aisle.

And Ray was confident that he could do whatever he wanted, no matter how many people were ambushing him.

Büne is also a bandit with a certain arm, but basically a bandit is not suitable for combat.

It's not that we can't fight at all.

Büne specializes in ranged attacks using long needles and daggers that take advantage of being small and light in weight.

Still, compared to facades like Ray, Elaine, and Vihella, the fighting power really drops.

That's why Ray, confident in his combat skills, decided to go up Hashigo first.

It is huge that there is also a magic item with a strong defense called Dragon Robe or the red armor of the Trump Flame Emperor at times of need.

"... no one,"

Even if you take your head out of the scythe and see what's going on around you, only buildings are there that are old and don't seem strange whenever they break.

There is no such thing as an enemy who is ambushing himself.

Keep going up from the scissors and check the surroundings again.

Apparently, judging that this place is more like a storage shed than a house, he gently reaches for a door nearby.

What you can see from the doors that opened that way are several abandoned house-like buildings illuminated by the sunset.

There were several buildings lined up that I didn't think were very cleaning.

Having seen the sight, Ray understands where this is.

"Slam Street, huh? Well, I was able to find a place where I was hiding, so is there any place in the gilm where I can escape so easily? If you think about it, it's not funny to run into a slum."

There are no signs of people around here for now... There are a few signs of people to be exact, but when you make sure you don't have someone with feelings of killing, harm, or hostility towards you, you call out to the hole where the scythe is extending.

"It's all right, for now, there are no enemies around, so come on up."

To that word, I came up in the order of Azimov, Büne, Elaine and Vihella...

"This is a small number of people."

Originally, the cabin itself was the only one in the slam, and it's not that big.

Naturally if there were many people there, it would be natural to get narrower.

Still, Ray and Biune are small in size, while Elaine and Vihella are small in width, which is exclusive to women.... Since the chest and buttocks are very well developed, I am taking places in such parts.

Ajimov is also an adult man, but he is not a big man with muscular bones, but rather thin because he often concentrates on research and skips meals.

All five of them were smaller or thinner than normal adult males, so they managed to fit into the cabin, but there was no doubt that they could not breathe because of the large number of them.

"So, what's going on out there?

"You're a slum out here. They've been digging the escape route for a long time.... I don't think I was digging directly with my hands, so maybe I used some kind of magic item or something."

When Ray answers Elaine, everyone comes across a variety of emotions, such as fright and emotion.

It is true that there was a magic item store in the back alley, relatively close to the slam.

But it was true that digging underground from there to here was an event out of common sense in many ways.

"There's no one exploring this way, and you don't have a problem getting out there for now. It's easier than being in this small place."

Did all of Ray's words disagree, leaving the cabin in a big way?

Then it was the streets of the slums lit by the sunset that had spread in front of me.

The red-dyed figure showed the surrounding area enough to wonder if it was even on fire.

Running out of the guards' hands, Adria had arrived in Slam Street to check on the surroundings as the Rays were exiting the cabin and turning their gaze to Slam Street.

Naturally, he stole perfume on his way here, eliminating the odor that caused him to be captured, even temporarily.

Still, I can't be completely relieved because it's been a while since I stopped at the place where the incense furnace was kept in the woods, and even though I bathed in the water and wiped my body in the meantime, I was still sniffed the rotten odor by Ceto.

Given Seto's good sense of smell, it was impossible to be completely relieved even if he misled the smell with perfume.

"I've been through a lot of that guy, so I think maybe it's okay.... apparently the tracking hand hasn't reached this way yet. Well, you're having a hard time healing the commotion where you let me go, so I guess I don't have a choice."

Imagine a guard who would be turning right and left at the smoke-filled appearance, with a natural grin on Adria's mouth.

But the grin quickly disappears and turns into the face of a warring adventurer.

In Adria's sharp gaze, which ran only for a moment, he tangled and tried to roll up the gold - and if he knew it was a woman, he would have come looking for her body - and the men who were stopping nature and its legs.

I guess we sniffed out the unique sense of smell of the inhabitants living in the slums that if we were to get tangled up like this, we would undoubtedly get a handache.

In fact, Adria's power is higher than that of adventurers around it.

And while Adria now finds it amusing that she was about to be caught by the guards, there is also a slight frustration that she was taken the lead.

If the men had been involved in Adria without stopping their legs, one or two of their hands and legs would have been snapped at that point.

In the worst case scenario, it was possible that he had even lost his life.

With that in mind, it would mean that the men who stopped here picked up their lives.

"Too bad"

Unfortunately he has no one to bump his gushing thoughts into, Adria easily enters the slums.

(If you attacked me, I'd have gotten some weapons that seemed like they could be used spare)

Sometimes Adria went out of the magic item store where she had originally hidden herself because she got bored being in the basement, but also because she bought food.

Zuboz is an alchemist, so given his recent activities, it's better to stop going outside, and most importantly, his personality is that it's more fun experimenting with alchemy than going out into the city in person.

It was also possible that if Zuboz had seen Ray all over the city, he would have taken action episodically.

I have never seen Ray's face in person, so it was a trouser that I only knew features such as a female face and a small tall face, but I have a feature that is so easy to understand that I have a griffon.

Trousers couldn't tell with Ray when he saw who was taking Griffon, either, and I still didn't want to make a big fuss in the current situation if I could.

(It's a corner festival, so we need to create a bigger stage.)

Adria, walking in contemplation of that time, eventually arrives in a sparsely populated part of Slam Street.

If we got here, it wasn't just the halfway house like we were at the entrance, but some of them were strong enough to call it first-rate.

Those who have been banished from the surface world for any reason and have fallen here.

Those are the ones who, at times of need, will use the power of madness in death to attack their opponents.

(Yes, someone like this, for example...)

One man showed up as if waiting for Adria to come.

However, his face is covered in beards and he cannot see how old he is.

Only Adria, who was going to go shopping, has only a spare long sword.

If you get into a fight with a man, you'll probably... no, you'll definitely struggle.

Even the chances of losing are great.

"This way."

... Yes. Fight, though.

"Long time no see, Diaz. I knew the pants had escaped, too? Well, they caught me leaving the store, so I can't help it."

If you think about when you get caught, you'll be able to check the store no matter what.

Until now, there had been nothing else that would have caught my attention because of the fact that it was common, but it was natural that if I caught my attention, things would also come up that were inconvenient, and most importantly, if I had a closer look inside the store, I would likely have been able to find something that I shouldn't have been able to find.

Given that danger, escaping while you were free to move before you could still examine the inside of the store would never have been a bad option.

"My pants seemed unhappy. He decided to run away in a hurry, so he could barely bring up any less material."

"I knew it? No, but I had some trousers business that I was supposed to go shopping for. … Alchemists are just people without materials, too"

Diaz opens her mouth so that she doesn't feel anything in particular to Adria, who talks to Diaz as she walks.

"There won't be anything you can do. Even an alchemist is a wizard. You can do some magic, and in the case of pants, you have some magic items without letting your skin go."

"Still, an alchemist is not a good fit to fight.... the only one who was angrier than that was pants? What about Paul?

Behind Adria's brain, a figure reminiscent of a giant, quiet mountain passes.

Someone so strange that I have no idea why such a person is the hand of the Bestian Empire.

The fact that Paul's store is no longer available naturally makes it nearly impossible to recover the many magic items that were there.

Whatever you think, I just felt somewhat bad for Adria, just to say that we ate the convolutions because of ourselves.

But Diaz opens her mouth regardless of how Adria looks like.

"I don't know what you think on the inside, but from the outside, you don't look particularly angry. It's quiet, as usual."

"Right. I'd like to do something about it as soon as possible."

That's how we go about talking and eventually we get to where we want to be.

From the outside, it even looks like a half abandoned house that is likely to collapse as soon as anything happens like any other building built in a remote part of the perimeter.

However, there is no way that the safe house that Adria has set aside for the occasion is as good as it looks.

It even looked like an abandoned house, but that was just making it look that way.

Inside such a building, Adria and Diaz enter without showing any particular tension.

Then, what was inside is just furniture that would be perfectly fine for a normal amount of time.

It's not like other buildings are full of garbage, but it's definitely easier to do extra than lodging in the neighborhood.

There were two people in that room.

One is a pair of existential pants that can also be called Adria's partner in this case, and the other is Paul, the owner of the magic item store that Adria and pants had hidden.

Zuboz has a very grumpy look on his face, as we heard from Diaz, who came this far with Adria.

I had heard that the reason for this was because I had left a lot of the material at the magic item store, but still, it wasn't an interesting event for Adria that my pants were grumpy.

Compared to pants like that, Paul doesn't look particularly upset about anything.

Even though I lost a lot of the material, the really valuable substitute is the trousers I bring and Paul, who lost all of the magic items I had in the store.

Normally, Paul would obviously be more shocked.

But from what I can see from the side, Paul hardly looks shocked.

On the contrary, it even looks the same as usual.

I remember how funny Paul is, but Adria can't stay here like this.

"You know why I got caught?

None of the three people on the spot will answer that inquiry.

Naturally. Paul was inside the store when Adria was being captured, and Zuboz was in the basement stash. I've always been in this slum town with Diaz, so there's no way to know how Adria was captured.

Seeing no one answer, Adria opens her mouth, thinking she had no choice.

"It stinks. Um, about where you put the incense furnace. The smell was still there, so Griffon sniffed it."

The moment I told him so, his pants would sharpen their gaze.

"Does that mean Ray was there?

"Yeah, it will."

"... Really? It was a failure to escape from that store when the vengeance was there."

"Instead, keep your pants on this for now. 'Cause I think I can handle the extent to which I mislead the rotten odor."

To Adria, who tells her as she shows her perfume, pants say it's not the case, but before that, a man comes into the building.

Nor did he seem to care for Adria, who secretly reached for the weapon, and the man who came inside the cabin headed under Diaz, whining in his ear.

Diaz, hearing it, tongues in frustration.

"Apparently a customer"

I didn't even have to think about who that meant.
