Legend

Moving on to Slam Street came in the order Elaine, Ray, Büne, Azimov and Vihela from the beginning.

It's Vihera's feeling that it's like when you're diving into a dungeon.

In fact, even if you walk ahead of Elaine in this way, it's not that it's a monster, but it's understandable to Ray, Elaine, Vihera, and Buune that the residents of Slam Street are watching the Rays.

It was Azimov with little experience in action, but I still understood that the surrounding situation was becoming all sorts of disturbing.

As he walks through Slam Street in that condition, Vihella speaks to Azimov as he moves forward.

"If you're not sure about the fight, you could have gone through the basement earlier and gone back to the magic item store, right? Why did you bother following me?

"It's the alchemist you're after, isn't it? Then maybe my knowledge can help... That's superficial. Actually, the alchemist would have it because he's interested in magic items and materials."

"... you're very honest. But if it's a magic item or material, I think there was a lot in the store earlier?

It was true that it came out of Vihera's mouth, but it wasn't always true.

I know that...... no, the Azimov I'm expecting, squeaks his nose and opens his mouth.

"Right, that store and basement also had a variety of magic items and scarce materials. But some really scarce magic items and materials are probably owned by the alchemist we're on our way to, right?

"I'm sure that's true... but more than the Alchemist's captivity has been requested, the kind of material and magic items that the Alchemist possesses will probably be handed over to Lord Dusker temporarily, right?

In the first place, the starting point is that there are people who give magic items to monsters in this case.

I'm an alchemist who would have done that, so naturally there must be some kind of secret to that magic item, and I didn't think Dusker would give it to anyone else.

"... I know"

I'm convinced by the words, but Vihella doesn't miss the discontent colors in that gaze.

"I'm telling you, unlike Ray, I've hardly talked to you yet. I mean, not long enough to have a relationship of trust. If you're gonna think strangely, you're gonna regret everything, aren't you?

At the same time as I finish, when I can magic into my armor, my long nails instantly extend from my armor, passing next to Azimov's face.

Although it was an obvious threat, Azimov, who was threatened with it, turns his gaze to the back of Vihella's hand without looking punished at all and whines like he was impressed.

"Heh, that's a pretty good deal. Create nails by magic, or something rare again. Besides, seeing as it fits so much in your arm, it's not a ready-made product, it's a magic item made directly by the alchemist, right?

"... Yep"

It is very difficult to say that you are threatened, but that you do not have that awareness at all in person.

There is no point in threatening Vihera either, because she is delighted.

"In the meantime, you don't get weird thoughts. Whether it's about the Alchemist or the Yellow."

Tell Elaine as she looks at the yellow flying right next to her, after which she will focus on perimeter vigilance.

"Still, there's a lot of bloody people out there"

What squeaks like a shudder is Ray going behind Elaine.

I showed a couple of slum city residents trying to hit me, but each time, Ray is holding back with a killer gaze.

Residents reacted quickly to Ray's unleashed killings only by being in a place called Slam Street, where violence was constant.

We decide we'll never win on our own and give up our hands.

Such a situation where you can't get your hands on it in front of superb prey.

Even now Ray thought a little bit about whether to respond to those who attacked him when he got out of the hidden passage, but somehow he felt like he was attacked even if he skipped over there.

Ray felt a few of them escape the scene, but decides he must have escaped feeling a difference in strength.

"Ma, I don't care if we get in our way!

In the middle of the word, Ray reaches out.

The stone thrown face-to-face had stuck in Ray's palm without even fulfilling its role.

"Huh!"

With a sharp exhalation, he throws only the movement of his wrist toward those who flew the stone that was in his palm.

Unlike when it was thrown to Ray, the stone, which flew at a rate that seemed to tear the air apart, hits the torso of the owner who threw the stone a few seconds ago, crushing his ribs.

You can't win a decent match. More than that, I guess I chose the means of attacking the Rays from a distance... unfortunately, I was only bad at that option with Rays against them.

Maybe he was lucky that Ray didn't throw the spear he was good at.

"So, Elaine. How long will it take you to get to your destination? I don't want to move around worried about being raided like this."

Probably because the person who threw the stone was paying back lightly. The movement of those who had thought the same thing had stopped, and was now in a strange situation, where the residents of Slam Street would remain in a situation surrounding the Rays faraway.

The inhabitants of Slam Street did not give up attacking the Rays either, but were in a state where they were watching because the damage was greater on their own as it stood.

It's not that I've given up on this, it's better to be looking at opportunities.

Still, it was Ray who asked Elaine because she was in a much more secure situation than at first, but coming back to that was a rare thing called Elaine with a slightly puzzled look.

"Yellow was tracking that woman out of the air. That's why I couldn't find it..."

"Oh, I see"

It was Vihera who heard Elaine's words and made the first convinced voice.

"From the earth and the sky, it means different things, right? That too, if it's like a maze like this slum city."

"It will."

Ray also agrees with that explanation.

Whether the slum city affects it or not, the buildings built here are roughly unplanned and built disorderly.

Perhaps there's a big reason for it to be somewhere a little more convenient for me, but as a result, the slum city was like a half maze, as Vihera said.

"Then do you need directions? Shit."

Ray frowned slightly because he took the stone he had been thrown earlier and threw it back as it was.

As a result, Ray should have been recognized as a vigilant opponent for the residents of Slam Street.

… but it is very much more intense now.

Because Ray was already on guard at a time when he was releasing his mind to kill and towing residents of Slam Street.

"You have no choice.... Beaune, can you do me a favor?

"Mmm."

When Vihera asks Bühne, who is best at covert behavior in this, Bühne answers briefly to follow the scene.

"Vihera, where did Bühne go? If a kid like Bühne acts alone in this slum town, it's gonna be a mess, okay?

"It's okay. Because Bühne was just looking for directions."

To Elaine, who asks worryingly, Vihera even laughs and tells her so.

Because I understand that there is no way that Bühne can do something about those who are watching us right now.

Naturally Elaine understood that too, but unlike Vihera, who sees Bühne with her own partner, Elaine recognizes Bühne's prowess while still having the perception that she is the one to protect.

... but this doesn't mean that either is right.

It's the same as acknowledging its prowess. But in general, it's a little unusual to consider a girl about ten years old as a partner, because many adventurers show their headlines from childhood.

And the fact......

"Mmm."

Vieune, who appeared from the shadows, had one man with him.

Because I live in Slam Street, I smell even from my body.

Her beard was not shaved, her hair was stretched all she could, and her body even had dirt on it.

Such a man is turning his frightened gaze toward the Rays on the spot with a dagger cut in his thigh.

This man is also one of those who was besieging the Rays, but I don't feel alive being dragged out in front of him like this any more than I saw in that eye how powerful Ray is.

Open your mouth while creating a frightened look to make yourself look a little weaker.

"Hey, what is it? What are you gonna do when you catch me like this? I'm telling you, I don't have any money."

To that word, Vihella turns her gaze to Ray.

Ray, who understands so badly what he wants to say, stays one step closer to the man.

I made a threat in the name of negotiating with a man because I knew I was the best fit.

The same goes for the killings, but there have been cases where we took the stones earlier and threw them back immediately.

It was usually an insult Ray, but after showing strength, it would naturally look creepy because of its smallness.

"Well, you have two options. One is to say no to our business and scatter our lives in this place."

At the same time that Ray shrugs, Büne buries the cutting-edge of the dagger slightly but into its leg.

It must have been the kind of pain that was stabbed with a needle, but that was enough stimulation for a guy who was pulled out in front of Ray and nervous.

"Hih! Hey, what the fuck! What do you want!

The fright was half acting, but also half serious.

But Ray doesn't have the kind heart to treat those who were trying to attack him if there was a gap.

"The other thing is, take on our demands very seriously..."

Show the man in front of you a piece of silver you took out of the mistering.

"Get this reward."

A single silver coin is not that expensive for what you normally live in a guild.

That was the only amount I could make even if I was a low-ranking adventurer.

But... if that's a slum town, it's not the same story.

With a single piece of silver coin, it's just not worth it if there's a killing each other.

There is only one option a man should take, beyond the fact that such a substitute is offered in front of him and threatened to kill him if he further refuses.

"Get it! Say anything you can, as long as I can... No, I don't have to do anything to make it look good!

With far more powerful eating than Ray expected.

It was Ray with a surprise look on his face for a moment, but it saves him the hassle of extra persuasion and intimidation that he's on the other side.

"Elaine, where Yellow saw you"

"Okay. The place we want to go is a cabin. The exterior is quite old, but it is made with a solid hand inside"

The man falls in love with Elaine's beauty for a moment, but immediately returns me to work to get the silver coin.

But with all that information, it's hard to identify where to look.

"Uh, is there anything else you can lead us to? Like the shape of a specific cabin or something characteristic around it."

"Hmm, speaking of which, there were hardly any buildings around, and you were like a square. And..."

To Elaine, who tells her what was going on around the building that was in Yellow's memory, the man began to snort, but gradually his complexion grew blue.

Because I know the place.

No, I knew there was someone there with a monstrous strength to be exact.

Twenty slum dwellers who had previously tried to storm the building with some applause saw all slaughtered and killed by just one man.

After the raid, I was thinking about fishing because maybe there was still something I could use, but what happened then was a deep wound in the man and it existed.

I want silver coins. But the man whose life is more important than that tries to open his mouth to say no... but recalls the word that came out of Ray's mouth earlier, whether or not he dies.

"Well, I know where you guys are going, but that's a dangerous place. So, um... I'll show you around, so give me a break, okay?

"Dangerous?"

The man nods over and over to Ray's words with doubts.

"That's right. The man protecting the building has the strength of a different digit from me. So what? Please."

"The man who's protecting the building, huh? Apparently, you still have someone to fight for."

Elaine groans, and Ray nods back at the words as well.

Vihera grinned with joy when she heard that she might be able to fight a strong enemy, and Bühne, as usual, doesn't seem to feel anything in particular.

Azimov kept me out of this... so Ray attached the promise that the line would reach the side of the building where he was going, and followed the man's guide down the road.
