"What do you say, Seto? Can you follow the smell?

To Ray's words, Seto, who was smelling the body of an assassin transported out of a lab that was in Daridora's store, rattles his throat, even though he is a little lost.

Ray is the only one who finds out that the ringing conveyed Seto's will to be okay.

The sunset is already setting and dimming, and in such circumstances the body is ready on a simple board in the courtyard of Daridora's shop.

From the side, it wouldn't look like a very, but decent group.

It was even worse because Griffon smelled like a corpse.

But...... everyone understands that even in such a creepy situation, it is something that needs to be done.

That's why everyone didn't say anything about it when Seto was smelling dead bodies.

"So, what do you think? You think Seto can follow the smell?

Ray nods to Augusto, who has visited on behalf of the same.

Everyone exhales in relief when they see Ray's act like that.

If I actually couldn't keep up with the smell while I kept it this far...... I guess that's natural because there's nothing more I can do about it.

If you can't follow the smell in the current situation, that means you'll never succeed in trying it tomorrow morning.

"So, what about Lewbrand?

When Ray turns his gaze as he groans, Daridora nods back immediately.

"I've already sent out a letter. I also have a message that I want you to read it as soon as possible, so even if something happens, the guards won't stand in our way."

He was a nerve-looking Dalidra, but now he's smiling satisfied.

I guess that means this arrangement was perfect.

"Okay.... Bye, Seto. Please."

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

At Ray's request, Seto rattled that he wanted me to leave it to him.

Trying to leave Daridora's shop as it were...... there was a figure of one adventurer.

That's someone Ray also looks familiar to.

The most armed of Daridora's escorts, the person who plays the collateral role of escort.

"Narsus, are you done?

"Yes, thanks to the potion, the wound is fine.... Well, you won't be able to taste it properly after a while of cooking"

Ougust, who was a little far away, smiles bitterly at Narsus, who whines with a bitter smile.

The sympathy you can feel because you drink the same potion in the noon raid and your taste is being destroyed for a while.

"Excuse me, Master Daridora. I guess I need to escort Ray while he's on his way to raid than he should be hired as an escort..."

"That's okay. Originally I also planned to ask Narsus to participate in the raid with Ray.... and even without Narsus, all my escorts are skilled. Isn't that right?

The guards, who were ahead of Daridora's gaze, nodded back with a confident grin.

"... thank you. So is it just me and Ray who participate in this raid?

"No, neither do I."

It was Zaroust, who is hired as an Augusto escort, who spoke out like that.

Ray half-expected, but Narsus turns his gaze without even hiding his unexpected look.

"You?... What about Mr. Ougust's escort?

"We've already talked about that one. Daridora... and her escorts will now head to Mr. Augusto's mansion. It's on the edge of Gosh, so if a stranger comes, it's easy to understand."

"Is the enemy free to disguise himself? Then I don't think that helps..."

"I thought about that area, too. But I've already got permission from both of these guys on this."

The gaze of Zaroust is naturally directed at two people, Augusto and Daridora.

A glance at you, Zaroust advances with a long sword in his hand.

Zaroust using both spears and long swords, but this time raiding...... I guess he chose long swords because of the enemy's raid on Azit.

Zaroust, who has such a gaze that no matter what he says any more, he will never retreat.

Even his opponent, disputed by the crowd, was never forgivable to Zaroust that he had been fatally injured by Augusto.

Coincidence...... it was really a coincidence Ray had a potion that could even heal his fatal injuries so it helped, but if Ray hadn't, Ougust would definitely have died.

It's just a fatal, Zaroust mistake.

To Augusto's father...... and to Augusto himself deeply indebted Zarousto was just enough of a hateful mistake to be described as deadly.

To dispel that mistake, Zaroust is about to take part in this attack on the assassin.

If you don't, just like you say you can't forgive yourself.

(I don't care if you say it any more... it's no use)

Looking at Zaroust, who has prepared eyes, Ray realizes that his heart is in vain for any more persuasion.

(But it's nice to go to the other mansion to protect Augusto and Kathy... in which case, what happens to Daridora's family?

Does Ray have Daridora living with her parents... and is she married or living with her lover? I don't even know if I have children.

But still, Daridora is the best merchant in this gosh.

I don't think such a person could be living alone, Ray, but Daridora says nothing in particular.

And Ray didn't do anything more to ask about it either than Daridora wouldn't say anything.

"So that means I'm going with these three in Seto.... So the rest of us can consolidate our escorts at Augusto's mansion, huh?

Everyone on the spot nods at Ray's words telling him to confirm.

Some of Daridora's escorts wanted to go around to the raiding side with Ray, but Zaroust probably thinks it's powerfully tough to act with Ray and Narsus anyway.

I showed some untrained, but ended up saying nothing more.

Thus Ray and Seto, Zaroust and Narusas head to the city at night, and Augusto heads out of the city with Daridora and his escorts.

It was a spectacular sight to be called the Boat of the Cross.

Even though it's the city of the night, it's just sundown.

Naturally there are many people all over the city, and then it's eye-catching to see Seto, Augusto and his close adventurer Zaroust, Narsus, who are gathering the escorts of Daridora, who have become famous all at once in the last few days.

It's common sense in Gosh that Augusto and Daridora are at odds.

Yet those two escorts are walking with Seto, so it would be conspicuously natural.

Of the three and one, the least noticeable was Ray.

Because she is wearing a dragon robe hood, it is significant that the characteristic female face is hidden.

Still, I'm on Seto's side, so I couldn't help but stand out more than constantly.

"So, Seto. Are you after the smeller?

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr"

To Ray's words, Seto rattles vigorously. However... Rays following Seto arrived at a skewered stall with plenty of spices on it.

"... Hey, Ray. I don't think this is their place..."

For once, Zaroust tells me things like that.

Narusas was also nodding to agree with Zaroust's words like that.

In this case, it would have been the stall owner who was pathetic.

All of a sudden I wonder if Griffon showed up in front of me, because he's ringing his throat.

For Ray, who is used to Seto, I understand that it sounds like he wants to eat, sounds delicious, but it sounds like he's intimidating himself to a stall owner who knows little about the existence of Seto.

You must have noticed how the stall owner looked like that. Ray rushes to take out a piece of silver coin and gives it to the store owner.

"Now you can just buy me a skewer"

"... to? Oh, I get it. Just a moment, please."

The man quickly reaches for the skewer so that he doesn't think he was frightened until a few seconds ago.

Around here, I suppose you can call me a merchant.

When you receive more skewers than you can hold in both hands, you give them to Seto, and you give them to Zaroust and Narusas as you eat.

The two of us thought we were going to launch a raid on the assassin Ajito, but there's no way they wouldn't eat it if they told us it was the scenery before the battle.

It was slightly unacceptable, but we will all flatten the skewers.

As a matter of course, Seto was the one who ate the skewer the most, and the shopkeeper who was there was a little surprised.

"Hey, Ray. Is this really going to get you where you want to be?

Ray shook his neck to the side to Zaroust, who had asked with slight suspicion.

"I don't know. I'm gonna have to leave that area entirely to Seto, so I'm gonna have a little trouble getting asked over here."

"No, don't ask Ray about Seto. Who do you want me to ask?

I nod to Zaroust, who groans like a sneer, as does Narusas, who keeps his mouth shut.

I was just hoping it was going to be a fight, so I guess I'm feeling extra strongly about that.

As pushed by those two, Ray talks to Seto, who is about to be satisfied after eating skewers.

"Hey, Seto. Is it time to start acting? If we keep this up, it'll take us a long time to waste, right?

"Gru......"

Seto sounds a little sorry.

Such a state of Ceto was like sympathy even from the side.

"Look, calm down. Because if you take it seriously from now on, you'll be fine.... So you made a scene."

Tell the stall owner so briefly, and Ray walks out with Seto again.

Behind such a ray and ceto, Zaroust and Narusas go on, wondering if it's okay to just keep following Ceto like this for a little while.

The most questionable person in the line about Seto is Narusas, and Zaroust does not have as strong a question about Narusas as he does.

This would be great for Zaroust to see the power of Seto directly in its eyes.

"Are you sure you can keep this up?... I don't trust you very much."

Still, such words came out of Zaroust's mouth, probably because of the presence of Narsus, who is looking suspiciously at Seto.

Ask Narsus so beforehand and alleviate any suspicion or dissatisfaction. Ray shook his neck sideways at Zaroust's words put out by such thoughts.

"I know I've said this before, but the question arises as to whether or not the smell is still there.... Well, I arrived at that stall to be led by that smell"

"How can I be relieved to hear that? Not very much, but I can't trust you."

"Even so. You're gonna have to rely on Seto more than you have any other means, right? Well, there's a way to get into the tunnels and look for Azito over there... but that's hard for everyone to understand."

If you say so, Zaroust can only speak for the fact.

In fact, it's because it's a fact that we really have to rely on Ceto, more than just Ceto's sense of smell.

"I get it.... but please? Mr. Ougust may still be targeting assassins."

"I don't want you to be too optimistic about Daridora."

I guess I'm worried about Augusto and Daridora. Two people, Zaroust and Narsus, tell Ray to hurry.

(I know what you're trying to say, even if they blame me there.... Well, it's about Seto, so isn't it strange that I'm to blame)

Ray strokes Seto, who is smelling the assassin as he checks his surroundings.

Seto also feels good to be stroked, making sure he's happy with what's going on around him.

I guess he uses one of the skills Seto has, an olfactory ascent. Eventually Seto accidentally turns his gaze in one direction and squeals his throat.

"You found it?

"Gru!"

Seto replies to Ray's words, and Zaroust and Narsus, who hear it, also shine their eyes.

I said things in my mouth, but I guess I wasn't really out of faith somewhere in my mind that Seto could trace the smell.

Being an alias adventurer, it's close to the harm of Ray, who doesn't usually make such an atmosphere feel fine dust.

But... as Seto proceeded to guide him, eventually both Zaroust and Narsus... and even Ray wonders.

"Hey, dude. Keep it up..."

"Probably, I guess"

Zaroust and Narsus exchanged words, and Ray also questions Seto's direction of going...

"Gru!"

It was in front of Gosh's main entrance that Seto rang his throat.

This means that it is outside Gosh that the assassins have an aside.
