Legend

"... I see. Was the revenge of His Highness Kabazid intended?"

The office in the Lords' Hall, Dusker, who was sitting on the couch there listening to Ray and Vihera explain, squeaks.

Living in that tone is, naturally, a bitter colour.

I remember enough of the reason for being hated.

Because he intervened in the civil war of the Bestian Empire last year, hand in hand with Vihera with the nobles.

And I also understand that Ray is the most active cause of civil unrest and the biggest cause that Khabazid has hunted down to the point where he has to die.

Still, I didn't expect to make this much noise for revenge, and most importantly...

"His Royal Highness Kabazid possessed enough qualities to stand on top."

"Right. Many admired his older brother. And that's a lot to say that you've been building up."

Dusker nods with a smudged look at Vihera, who tells her as she gives her share of the sandwich to Büne.

"So, in the end, most of the materials, materials, and magic items left behind by the alchemist disappeared?

Asked with his gaze pointed, Ray nodded instantly.

"Yes, I think there's still some material or something in the room in the basement of Paul's Magic Items Store... but I was wondering if perhaps the really important substitute was brought up by pants"

And eventually vanished by the explosion of the cabin.

Ray doesn't even know if it was a measure in case we lost, or if there was some other intention.

Still, it is true, and a great waste for Ray, that the precious materials and magic items that Zuboz had disappeared as a result.

(Well, I guess I was just lucky enough to get through that explosion intact. No, you don't say bruises are intact?

Second, Ray thinks about that.

Fragments of the cabin poured down by the explosion were not slashed and carved or pierced by dragon robes.

But still, the impact transmitted through the dragon robe cannot be prevented.

As a result, Ray was supposed to bruise his entire body, although only direct injuries were present.

Still, I guess it's only because Ray's body is specially made that he's largely pain-free after just sleeping overnight.

Because if you were a normal person, you would have definitely moaned about the pain for a few days.

"I hear from Langa around there.... So, I'm sorry, but I'm going to go through all the magic items and materials that my pants and I had, and then I'm going to give them to you."

"I don't know what else to do with that."

With Ray nodding lightly, Dusker gives a slightly surprising look.

"Are you sure? I thought I'd be able to see a little more."

"Yes. I was wondering if that magic item that Zuboz used was dangerous with all sorts of things. It was just the pants this time, but if there's any other material left, it's not necessarily someone who makes the same magic items, and you should have countermeasures."

To such Ray's words, Dusker exhales in relief.

I thought it might be okay, but I was still slightly concerned that they might want me to return the magic items, materials, and materials as soon as possible.

Dusker also knows enough that Ray has a strong obsession with magic items.

And he said the magic items left by the pants definitely attract Ray's interest.

Had that been the case, we would have needed to negotiate stickily.

From Dusker's point of view, Larks Borderline Uncle, we can also take forceful means.

But as a Dusker, I didn't want to take hard means against Ray, who is also a friendly relationship.

... Sometimes Ray is better in pure combat, even if he tries to use tough means in the first place.

Furthermore, it was clear that if there was such an imitation that Ray would be at a disadvantage, Ray would just get on Ceto and leave the guild.

That would greatly reduce your power in the Guild.

Besides, given Seto's presence in the Guild, if you do poorly, you could even riot.

(... Gilm leaning on Ray and Seto for a long time)

Uh, I think so.

In fact, there was something about the problem, the presence of Ray and Seto in the Guild, that could never just be foolish.

We were very fortunate to think that Ray would take care of what we should call the legacy of Zuboz.

"Sorry, thank you"

"No, it looks like this. I'm attached to Gilm, too."

"Oh, you say you look like this yourself."

Vihera, who was listening to Ray and Dusker, tells her with a small grin.

The words were funny, even Elaine and Arla had a grin on their mouths.

But for Ray, who is being laughed at, I guess the word was unsatisfactory. Reach for the sandwich on the plate like a little tease.

"Phew."

Seeing Ray like that, Vihera smiles happily.

It was obvious that he enjoyed the act of annoying the person he liked.

"Mm-hmm. Anyway, this one helped. I'm sorry I couldn't capture the alchemist..."

Dasker's gaze is directed towards Ray for a moment.

Responding to that gaze, Dasker opens his mouth the moment Ray, who was messing with him, tried to say something.

"From what I've heard, they're not very good, but they couldn't have caught him alive."

"Yes, because in the first place, he was running wild, unconscious."

"I have received a report. Anything. He tried to kill his people."

To Dasker's words of smudging and grunting, Ray's figure of Diaz, who had his right arm eaten and chopped off, and Paul, who would have eaten and chopped off his head if Ray hadn't helped, passes behind his brain.

It was true that he was running wild, but eventually he must have had new intelligence while running wild, pants.

Had we been able to capture it as well, there would have been many new discoveries.

But thinking about that time, Ray immediately denies it in his heart.

(Where such a being has intelligence, maybe it won't be a lot of things. For one thing, I'm glad I was able to fix it...)

It may have been the intellect of the consequences of Zuboz's rampant resentment of himself, but it seemed good not to capture him extra alive, for example.

If I caught him alive in the middle of nowhere, I'm pretty sure some kind of tragedy would have happened later, because I had that thought.

"Did you say pants, or something? I'm sorry I couldn't capture him, but the other three were able to capture him properly instead. Especially Paul, who's strangely cooperative here."

"The man?

To Ray, Paul and I were people who honestly had no idea what we were thinking.

A man in the hands of the Bestian Empire, who survived without hooking up even with previous espionage hunts.

Given Paul's position like that, I don't know if he's going to cooperate with Zuboz.

But why are you here now, cooperating with such people as the guards and knights who captured you?

(I'm pretty sure it's not that I simply went back to sleep thinking about the damage...)

Most importantly, I don't know what Paul thought and acted like that, but it's still beneficial to Gilm.

"How about the other two?

To the question that came out of Ray's mouth, Dusker's expression is only for a moment but tight.

It's really a momentary change in expression, a change that you wouldn't know if you weren't someone somewhat associated with Dusker or someone sharp.

Ray has some dating with Dusker, and he knows Dusker's temper. That's why I noticed the change, and Elaine and Vihella are originally sharp.

Beune is a bandit, and Arla is highly observant because she also serves Elaine.

As a result, it was noticed that most of the people on this scene had changed their expression, even if it was slight, but no one would point that out.

Dusker, who is in the position of Lord of the Guild, won't speak, so he decided that there would be a good reason.

I knew Dusker was noticed, too, but I'm going to go ahead with the conversation, especially without reacting to anything.

(I didn't expect a general running from the kingdom of Ragecea to be in the slums of Gilm. Rumor has it he was caught up in a power struggle and was half as close to exile as running away)

In conversation with the Rays, Dasker thinks about Diaz.

He was a man who had run away trying to be kicked out of his homeland in the middle of nowhere, but he was only a general and a competent person.

As a Dasker, I want Diaz to be my own man, but I couldn't get him to be that easy on me than I was involved in this case, and above all, I didn't want him around.

(You won't be able to get out on the front line because you lost your right arm, but you can still command the soldiers)

Dasker wonders how he can add Diaz to his own flag.

"Anyway, you did a great job. Lord Elaine was just here yesterday and all of a sudden I'm so sorry I got into all this commotion."

"No, never mind. I never thought I'd be like this, but it was never a bad thing to be able to act with Ray."

"It would be helpful if you could say that.... So, how long did Lord Elaine stay in the Guild? Of course, you can stay as long as you want."

Elaine, who is also a symbol of the aristocracy, staying in Gilm for a long time is by no means a bad choice for Dusker, the central figure of the neutrals.

But to Dusker's words, Elaine opens her mouth with a slightly sorry look.

"I'm sorry, but we have to get back before summer. Unfortunately, not for long."

"... no, I think it'll be enough by summer"

Dusker said it was a long time because of the idea that it would be a few weeks... maybe a month if I could.

But the word came out of Elaine's mouth until summer.

Dasker also completely forgets that he was thinking about how to convince Diaz inside, accidentally penetrating with vegetarian language.

"Well, that and this is due to the fact that we have a friendly force in the Kingdom of Mireana in the Bestian Empire. As for this one, it's no different to be alert to the Bestian Empire, but it's still considerably easier than last year"

"Oh, so you can thank me? Well, as a thank you, why don't you and Ray have a hot time alone?

Ara moves hiccups and cheeks, not Elaine, to Vihera, who tells her so as she turns her eyes towards Ray.

Elaine won't take action because she won't say anything, but if she is going to take any action, she had the first thought of herself being...

But...... Ara like that is next thing I know, she is completely impressed by the words that came out of Elaine's mouth.

"Hmm, well. Then I hope you have a good time around tomorrow."

"... Huh? Dear Elaine!?

I guess I didn't think Elaine would tolerate this lightly either. A barbaric voice rises from Ara's mouth.

"Heh heh, what's up, Ara? Something strange happened to you?

"No, so... uh, you know what?

Arla also asks Elaine if she has settled down somewhat while she is talking, afraid.

What was there was Elaine's beautiful smile.

"Ara, are you making any mistakes?

"Is that a mistake...?

"Oh. What kind of time do you think Vihella was talking about?

"Whatever they say... the..."

To Elaine's words, Arla softly strays her gaze.

And at the end of the deviant gaze was Vihera, who said the word hot time.

That look of smiling glossy seemed like Ara's imaginary thing about hot time.

"Oh, what's wrong? I don't know what you imagined, but I'm sure that wasn't so wrong, was it?

"Huh!?

It was Ara who once again uttered a surprise, but eventually such an Ara must have become pathetic.

Elaine takes a small sigh and opens her teasing mouth.

"Vihera, keep it around there.... Ara, Vihera there is what we call a battle freak. I mean, what does hot time mean... you don't have to tell me, you know?

The battle freak, Ara whined in her mouth, finally understood that she had been made fun of.
