Legend

When the Rays started fighting in Slam Street... Ara waited in front of the magic item store for nothing to do with Seto.

Originally, Elaine waited here and told me to teach her about the stairs leading down to the basement when the guards arrived, but the guards didn't come at all.

"Absolutely, I heard Gilm's guards were brilliant... you're a long way from coming. Don't you think?

"Gru......"

Foolishly, Ara strokes Seto's head.

Is Seto listening to Ara or not? I just narrow my eyes to the feeling of being able to stroke my head and throat joyfully.

After Elaine and the others go down the stairs leading to the basement, they already stand for much longer.

Still considering he's not coming back from the basement...

"I guess the end of that staircase isn't a room or anything, it's connected somewhere"

It was Arla who wanted to head under the stairs a few times, but if it's a room, it's still there, and if it's a passage connected somewhere, I'm pretty sure I'll go after Elaine myself.

That way there will be no one to explain the situation when the guards arrive and the guards will be confused.

"I wish Seto could talk."

"Gru?"

What's the matter with you? and Seto tilting his little neck.

It is an unmistakable fact that Seto understands the human language, but it is difficult to communicate the will from Seto to man.

"It's nothing. However, there are some interesting things about this store."

While stroking Seto, Ara's gaze is directed from the entrance into the store.

There are so many magic items that I can see that even Ara, who is not so interested in magic items, is blinded by their number.

The axe Ara carries is also a magic item called Power Axe, but there are several magic items that seem more expensive to see than that.

"I'm concerned that there's very little weaponry at that rate... but it must be that kind of store."

There are a number of magic items in the store that you will find useful in your normal life.

Of course there is demand for magic items like that.

Many would prefer such magic items to weapons, especially those starting with nobility and rich merchants.

Most importantly, given the fact that they give magic item weapons to trusted employees, it is also true that many need them.

"I've seen merchants bring the same thing to Elaine's house, the Kelevel family before, but when I try to sit down, it automatically changes to the best shape and gives me a massage. I think I've had a few white gold coins..."

There were several other familiar magic items, some of which were totally unrecognizable.

"That pot is a magic item too?

As for Arla, who is good at brewing tea, I'm very concerned about what kind of magic item that pot is.

Because I can't take the liberty of using magic items in the store, I just have to watch them.

As I looked subtly into the store that way, I heard the footsteps eventually approaching me.

Turning to those who heard the noise, there were three guards there.

Finally came...... and Arla opens her mouth towards the guards.

"You arrived very late. I thought you'd be here a little sooner."

I guess I couldn't go after Elaine and she was pretty stressed out. The person was not intended, but the tone has some thorns.

Still, the guards bow their heads, not particularly angry, but adultly.

"Sorry, something went wrong. I needed manpower to calm you down."

"... Problem?

I guess Ara could have handled that a lot if she had returned the words to her fighting waist.

But if they apologize carefully like this, Ara can't get out high pressure again.

Did the guards also know that Ara was noble, or because they knew that Elaine's... was accompanied by a princess general, it was in the form of merit that they were politely treated.

Most importantly, Ara recognizes herself as a knight serving Elaine rather than a nobleman.

"Yes. Well, the suspects Rays captured used strange magic items to escape. The noise will hunt out a lot of people..."

"Yes."

Nodding briefly, Ara decides she can't help blaming the guards any more.

"So there was a staircase leading to the basement in this shop, and Lord Ray and the others were already headed that way."

"... Really? What about Master Ara?

"I waited because I needed to tell you this place. I've run that errand, and you don't mind if I go now, do you?

"Okay, let's get you two out of here, too. I don't know what's going on at the end of the stairs leading up to the basement, but it's strange that Ray and the others haven't responded since they left."

"Are you sure?

Ara reveals a slight but surprising look.

I guess it was unexpected that the guards would come with me where I was just going to head myself.

Given the skill of the guards, they decide that they won't even get that much foothold, and nod back.

If it's a normal city or village, it doesn't have the strength to expect that much when it comes to guards, but this is a gilm.

Adventurers, including high-ranking adventurers, gather for a banquet in a nocturnal tavern or go to a whorehouse in a pleasure district.

Adventurers are a lot of blood and a lot of short-tempered people, so it's not uncommon for such people to make a scene.

It was not uncommon to be able to rub in the distribution of other rewards that ended the request, nor was it uncommon to be able to rub in that negotiation in an attempt to sell the material obtained from the request at all high, not to the guild, but to the store.

It is the guards who will accommodate the disturbances of adventurers, including such high-ranking adventurers.

Naturally, that strength will require more than a certain amount.

Because she knew it, Ara accepted the guard's offer of trends.

"Yes, because it's our job to keep Gilm safe."

"Yes, let's go then"

Guards nod at Ara's words, leaving only one person on this spot to enter the store.

"Seto... no, you can't do it from the size of it. If you can't do it in the building, you'll be able to get in, but the staircase that leads to the basement..."

"Gru......"

To the words of the guard, Seto shouts his throat unfortunately.

In fact, if you can break the door, it's not hard to get inside the store.

Besides, I wouldn't even have to break the entrance if I used resizing skills than I was supposed to be a rare species of griffon.

But in the case of the staircase leading down to the basement, I don't know what's going on up ahead.

There is also the means for someone to look into it ahead of time, but if they told me if I could do that in the present situation, it would have been difficult.

"Bye, Seto. I'm coming. Wait here."

Arla tells him so as she strokes Seto's head, going down the stairs leading down to the basement with the guards.

"Come on, enjoy me!

Near the cabin behind Slam Street.

There, at present, the battle was about to begin.

The first of the Rays to go to the enemy was, naturally, Vihella.

Head to Diaz, the man whose face is covered with a mustache, and shrink the distance as he magically creates nails in his armor.

In an attempt to intercept it, Diaz held Claymore, who was also his weapon, and waited for Vihera to come closer without a look on her face.

Viewing it, Vihera puts more effort into her feet kicking the ground by deciding she must have gotten a fight with herself... momentarily, she feels something cold in her spine and kicks the earth and jumps to the side.

With the sound of cutting air, an arrow pierces the place where Vihella was until a moment ago.

"Oh, yeah? Avoid the current one. That's right, Master Vihella, you're just being handsome...... Huh!

As impressed, then somewhere inciting, Adria kicks to the ground and jumps to the side like Vihera did a few seconds ago.

Then, that was when something was stabbing Adria where she was, just like the arrow of hidden weapons she had unleashed against Vihera.

It is the sword tip of a long sword connected by several magical procedures of steel wire.

The only difference would be that, unlike the arrow released by Adria, the tip of the sword that was pierced by Elaine, who is using that weapon, having returned her wrist, fell out and returned to hand.

Coupling sword, Mirage. A weapon that Elaine specializes in, it was a magic item also known as the symbol of the Princess General.

"I'll take care of your opponent. Are you sure you're out of the Bestian Empire?

"Well, what do you think? Still, it's good to hear about the whole city... it's weird how it gets in the way. Honestly, it's not funny...!

Adria, pointing the patterned part of the long sword towards Elaine, can be magical as it is.

But before that effect takes effect, Elaine moves.

"Don't think a hidden weapon works against the person you showed it to once!

Elaine, who watched that weapon be used to unintentionally strike Vihera, understood that Adria's weapon had the effect of releasing an arrow inside the pattern by magic.

And given the thickness of the pattern, there are two arrows that can be stored there... no matter how hard you try, I don't care about three.

That's why I tried to pack the distance at once so I could control Adria's destinations...

"Oh, that's too bad"

Before Elaine, who brings Mirage closer to her hand, Adria waits for it with even a ning-roe grin in her hurry.

Moments later, Elaine almost instinctively flips herself.

At the same time, an arrow is released from the pattern of Adria's long sword.

Nor is it one or two, three, four, five… and the arrows released one after the other eventually expose their fangs to Elaine beyond ten.

"What!?

Elaine waves the Mirage in an aggressive manner, using her properties as a jointed sword to draw a circle in front of herself.

The arrows released from Adria were all slashed down by the blade of Mirage and fell to the ground.

"Heh... not a bad reaction"

"... what's going on? Obviously beyond the number of arrows that enter the pattern."

Elaine asks surprisingly, returning to hand the mirage she was turning instead of the shield and putting it in the state of a long sword again.

But Adria opens her mouth with a grin towards Elaine like that.

"Don't you think we shouldn't bother to teach our enemies what we're capable of? If you want to know so much, you can solve the mystery yourself!

At the same time he screams, reducing the distance straight from the tip of the pattern to Elaine as he releases one arrow after another.

Since Elaine's weapon is a connecting sword, I didn't think it would be advantageous to be close in time...

"Adria! Why do you pack the distance! That weapon will allow you to go with a long range attack!

Behind Paul, the owner of the magic item store, holding his shield toward Ray, his pants scream toward Adria.

Trousers screaming but trying to throw a glass bottle of belt onto the ray if there is a gap.

"Flying slaughter!

I don't suppose there's any reason to tow it, but Ray swings the death size and skips the slash.

It was a slaughter that flew as it slashed and tore the air, but when Paul shed his magic, ice was created around the shield.

Flying slaughter slashes and rips that ice...... slashing and ripping the ice deflects the orbit and flies straight past Paul or next to his pants.

"A shield that produces ice, huh? Shit, do a nasty imitation."

"I know as information that you are good at the magic of fire. And there's no reason why I didn't do anything to deal with someone like you, the alchemist? Ray... you're going to see hell in this world before you die."

I can't imagine a single alchemist in my eyes looking at Ray in the pants.

Taking it straight from the front, Ray questions it as he bears the death size on his shoulder.

(Why do you hate me so much? This is definitely the first time I've met that alchemist. Because, after all, the war we had last spring or the civil unrest we had in the fall...... well, which one is it?)

Other than that, I've fought assassins of the Bestian Empire, and I've stopped them without knowing the plot.

Ray was only a plague god if he tried to be a hardliner against the Kingdom of Mireana in the Bestian Empire.

Ray, who didn't know why he was resented after all, decides to ask from the front.

"So, you seem to resent me for a long time... first time, huh? You resent me so much."

"Because you... you are the enemy of His Highness Kabazid, it must be decided!

That's what pants screamed in his usual polite tone and hateful voice.
