Legend

It was Ray who was traveling inside Gosh to get information on Daridora, but realizes he doesn't know where Daridora is at the heart of it.

(In the first place, I don't even know where the Eléma Chamber of Commerce is. But I don't even know where Daridora's house is, as a matter of course. No, but at home...)

It's Daridora's, that is, the home of one of the most powerful people in this gosh.

Naturally its size is probably greater than Augusto's mansion.

Though it was Ray who tried to make his way to a settlement where the wealthy among the gosh lived, a lucky hand can be reached against such a ray.

"Hurry up, we're talking about gathering at Mr. Daridora's store and consolidating our protection!

"But who did that imitation? There's no such thing as targeting Mr. Daridora in this gosh, is there?

Unlike we met where Augusto is, two other adventurers each run to Ray's side with words exchanged.

The Eléma Chamber of Commerce is a highly influential chamber of commerce in Gosh.

Naturally the number of people employed there was high, and it was only natural that the voices of such people would be heard if anything were to be found.

(This is because my daily routine is good, too)

Ray rushes after two adventurers heading into the heart of Gosh, thinking that if anyone who knows Ray hears, he would instantly shake his head.

"But Mr. Daridora had Mr. Narsus on him, didn't he? And yet you're hurt?

"Seems so.... Could Narsus not be that strong?

"Hey, don't call me out. What if they ask? Mr. Narsus is tough."

"But..."

The exchange had also reached Ray's ear, which went a little further away.

(Surprisingly, they don't like being called Narsus? From the tale of the two of us, maybe the most skilled of Daridora's escorts, or the leader)

As Ray leans his neck inside but follows the two adventurers, he eventually arrives in front of one big store.

(Well, was this the shop of the Eléma Chamber of Commerce?)

The whole city of Gosh was pretty much a ray that looked around, but that's mostly about food.

I was somewhat interested in the arms store, but given that I knew Augusto, I didn't think I could make a decent purchase by stopping by the detour.

... Although that's the same with food, staying at Augusto's mansion doesn't mean Kathy's connections won't be able to do their job and sell her food.

There is still a large crowd near the Erema Chamber of Commerce, solidifying and talking to each of them.

In that, a familiar woman...... when she realizes that she is a friend of Kathy's and that Ray has a store owner who has sold her solid food, she approaches you.

"Hey, what happened?

"Huh!?... What is it, you? Don't be too surprised."

He was suddenly a talking and breathtaking shopkeeper, but exhales relief when he finds out it was Ray who talked to him.

But I guess I soon realized the danger that there was someone here who Ray... thought to be one of Augusto's people. Pull Ray into the nearby dining room.

I would have liked to have pulled into my shop if I had, but the person's store is quite far from here.

The owner was here because he came to a store near here to shop.

On my way to the store, I came across the sight of Daridora being attacked.

"Oh, something to pick up appropriately. And water."

I went into the store once, so I also order the store owner's share in front of me instead of the information fee.

He seemed a little lighted up by it, but the cafeteria employees head to the kitchen as soon as they hear Ray's order.

Luckily, they haven't noticed that Ray now is supposedly hostile to Daridora because he's wearing a dragon robe hood.

"Are you sure?

"It's this blaze. You'd be thirsty, and you'd be hungry, wouldn't you? Instead of information, don't worry about it. Augusto asked me to gather information from Zarousto, to be precise."

"Oh, I see.... but I don't know that much about it, do I?

"Yeah? You've been watching it since the beginning, haven't you?

Cassie's friend's shopkeeper waves small, while Ray wonders why he doesn't know the details of the story when he watched it from the beginning.

"Well, if you're used to rough stuff, you might have figured it out, but I wasn't involved at all in that sort of thing."

"... uh, I see. Yeah, okay."

At the same time that Kathy's friend says so, an employee of the store brings the food.

Easy dishes like meat skewers and water line the table.

Ray opens his mouth again when he makes the payment in copper coins and no longer has the employees who have carried the food.

"Well, why don't you just tell me what you know for now?

"Well, if that's okay"

As soon as I nod at Ray's words, I start thinking about what I should be talking about from.

Sometimes I like to talk to people originally, and rumor stories were excellent entertainment.

I guess that's why he's so happy now that he's wondering what to talk from.

And a sip of water makes me talk as if my mouth had slipped better.

"The first thing Daridora tried to do was go out somewhere and get in the carriage. Then all of a sudden, three men attacked Daridora and her escort."

"... three?

"Yes."

Given that it was one person who attacked Augusto, that number triples.

(Because... it was like attacking Augusto, or something like that, and Dalidra was the one who did it?

Thinking about it, there was nothing Ray wasn't convinced of either.

The only reason the city is so influential is because it's overwhelmingly Dalidra.

"But those three are odd, too.... It didn't frighten me at all when I was attacked. That's when the arrow stabbed me in the body, but it didn't look like I cared at all."

"Also troublesome"

Ray has also fought several times before, an enemy that feels no pain.

It is an effective procedure in the sense of making weak combat forces stronger without the hassle of time, but that is only if we consider it as a disposable force.

In a world called Elgin, people's lives are light and cheap.

Most people would say no if asked if they could still be disposable as a force of war.

Some of them, of course, seemed to think that weapons and protective equipment were more valuable than people's lives, and it was certain that such a person would not remember any itching to dispose of soldiers.

"But Daridora's escorts are also people who have pulled their arms with gold. Especially the escort, Master Narsus."

Daridora calls it off, but for some reason, she gives Narsus the same kind of attitude, which shows how a woman feels about Narsus.

"You looked great, really. If you think you've been raided, give directions to everyone immediately..."

"Uh, yeah. I see that. But let me tell you about the others."

Yet, Ray somehow understood what it was like to be called Narsus.

The man who seemed to be the strongest when I met Daridora before.

The face of a person who is presumably a Rank B adventurer passes behind Ray's brain.

Anyway, the man who attacked us at the behest of Master Narsus was defeated.

"... defeated?

Ray, who thought that Daridora had been wounded by those three, gives the words a slightly surprising look.

But the woman nods back at Ray's words again.

"Yeah, I knocked him down.... but that's where the problem starts. Anyway, there was an enemy attack, so Daridora tried to get back inside the store once..."

It was a disgusting way of saying it, but it must also be a technique to draw the attention of Ray, the audience.

I just like rumors, it was a skill acquired naturally.

I knew that, Ray, but I open my mouth to encourage the conversation to go ahead, saying that it would also be necessary to talk comfortably.

"But?"

"At that moment, many arrows were unleashed from nowhere. If Lady Narsus hadn't sheltered Daridora, perhaps Daridora would have died."

"... you know how many arrows it was exactly?

"I can't. I'm nothing. I'm not an adventurer or anything. Anyway, that's about all I know."

If you say so, there's no reason Ray can't either.

In fact, the only woman in front of me is an ordinary person who is not used to rough things, as he said.

Ning Ro, the fact that there was a raid in that situation but he didn't escape to see a series of things would have been a surprise for Ray in itself.

Normally, if something like when Daridora is raided, the average person often escapes as being left out of it.

Some of them remain on the spot as landscaping mountains, but such people die on the spot if they are unlucky.

Most likely, the woman was safe because she had a short time to finish the raid.

Seeing the scene of the raid made things go faster than returning to me and escaping.

"So, I heard Daridora got hurt, and thanks to the guy named Narsus, did he help?

"Yeah. An arrow that was about to stab me in the head stabbed me in the right shoulder, so I guess that's exactly what you're saying about picking up a life."

She was a squeamish woman, but some of the words seemed sparingly colored.

I guess it's just Kathy's friend and Daridora has something to think about.

While understanding that, Ray continues the conversation.

"So, what happened to the guy who shot the arrow?

"Whatever happened, I dazzled my whereabouts."

"... you had a lot of arrows, didn't you?

"Right. It was amazing, but it seemed like a lot."

"So you didn't even see the face of one of the killers?

To the words, the woman smiles and opens her mouth when she says she was waiting.

"That's right. It's so strange there, but no one saw anyone with a bow, not just me, but all the other people around.... I think I asked the people around me, but I didn't get any information."

"That's odd."

A bow is basically huge.

Not without small objects, but arrows unleashed with such bows are inferior to power.

Not very much, but there was no way I could have managed to get an armed escort, starting with the Rank B Adventurer.

(Crossbow or something like that... No, but I've hardly seen crossbow before. I don't know how to make it either)

I think so from my knowledge when I was in Japan, but I've never actually seen a crossbow kind since Ray came to Elgin.

(For example, a magic item?

It's true that a bow needs more than a certain size, but if that becomes a magic item, the story will be different.

It's not a bow, for example, but Nebra's eyes were made with improved magic items that originally had the ability to create arrows with magic.

There are other magic items about bows and arrows that Ray just doesn't know about, naturally.

Ray also understood that he didn't know all the magic items in Elgin.

(Plus, it's odd that you haven't seen a single face of the person who raided with a bow. Is this a magic item or something?

But this gosh is not a city that is developing that far.

Of course it is a city with five fingers in the country of Sollain, but it is still only a subordinate of the Kingdom of Mireana… it is also a less powerful country compared to the neighbouring countries.

From what Ray has seen, there has never been a hardship in the lives of residents in Gosh thanks to the good governance of Lewbrand, but that's also why they wouldn't be wealthy enough to get a ton of magic items together.

When it comes to people who can get a lot of magic items together, Daridora, who had sand aboard, floats first.

But this time, the Dalidra is being targeted for her life.

At first it was Ray who also thought it might be an alibi making, but if an escort named Narsus told me he would have had his head pierced with arrows if he hadn't helped, I'd have to pull that idea in too.

When I think about it, Ray's face just seems a little unpleasant.

Even though it's a lot of trouble, I wanted to avoid getting into more trouble on this if I could.

... Though I figured I'd definitely go in from myself if I got in trouble because of my personality.
