What Seto was looking at was clearly Gosh's main entrance, which meant that it was outside the city that the Rays were about to head for.

"Gru?"

What's the matter with you? and a cet tilting his little neck, but Ray turns his gaze to his companion as he strokes such a cet.

"What do you think? Do you really think the assassin Azito is out of town?

Of the two asked, Zaroust tilts his neck and Narsus shakes his neck to the side.

And the first person to open his mouth was Narsus.

"If you mean you're aside from Gosh, the monster raids you. That would be for sure. I don't think I'd set aside an aside in such a place. even if it was temporary."

The explanation was understandable enough if you think about it normally.

No, on the contrary, everyone will admit it's definitely the right opinion.

"But it's Seto, right? Griffon in Rank A Monster. You think a monster like that would try to get out of town for nothing?

"... Griffon, a Rank A monster, started buying and eating in the stalls for some reason while he was looking for his enemy Ajito."

"Gu, that's..."

If you say so, Zaroust can't even say it back.

Instead it was Ray who said it back.

"If you don't understand anymore, Seto has shown it that way from the beginning. But the fact that he wants to go outside the city means you can definitely assume that the assassin Ajito is outside the city."

"Gru."

To Ray's words, Seto sounds right and loud.

Even when I heard that chirping...... no, it was because I heard it that Narsus had a gaze that seemed suspicious to Seto.

The appearance of such three and one is obviously suspicious.

The perimeter is already dark and the main entrance is closed.

Naturally, there will be no one near the main entrance...

"Those three, what are you doing?

It was only natural that the suspected guards could speak up.

But the Rays are relative to the guards who have been speaking up without showing any particular haste.

"It's the adventurer Narsus. I assume the lord has contacted us for convenience?

It was Narsus who came forward and exchanged words with the guards.

His face is well known as the one who holds Daridora's escort together, and it would also be the reason Narsus came out that Daridora sent a letter to Lord Lewbrand.

And naturally, the guards had orders from Lewbrand.

"Excuse me. Dear Daridora, Augusto has been told to make it convenient. What can I do for you?

While I feel something that's not funny inside, there's no way a single guard can disobey an order from a lord.

I understood what it was like to be such a soldier, Narsus, but if the assassin Azito was really outside the city, it was true that we had to do something about it.

I also thought we might want to go to Augusto's mansion once and talk about the smell Seto sniffed off heading outside the city, but now it's also a fact that we're wasting a moment.

The quickest way to get around this is definitely Seto. And it was Narsus' expectation that Ray would be next, himself, in Zaroust's order.

But there's no reason to let Seto go to Augusto's mansion, where he can smell the smell separately, and at the same time remove Ray, who can communicate with Seto.

I can't go back now any more than Narsus himself is quite forced to be here. The same would apply to Zaroust.

There is regret that Narusas and Zaroust, together, failed to protect their escorts from their attackers and injured them.

I knew I would never be able to go back here more than that.

(So, if...)

All that remains is one guard at the end of his gaze.

It doesn't mean there's only one guard more than this is the front gate.

There must have been several others, and if so, I asked one person to leave a message and there was no problem.

"I'm sorry, but I need to ask you for a few things. Would you listen to me, please?

There was nothing more the guards could say no than an order from the lord was being given.

"Okay. Take it if it's something you can do."

"Helpful. First of all, I want us out of the gosh."

"Are you insane!?

To Narsus' words, the guards scream reflexively.

Several guards were visible in the light of the bonfire flames peeking at their faces from the stuffing near the main entrance to the cry, but Narsus nodded back that there was no problem.

"I'm fine. As you know, I'm confident in my arms, and Ray is an alias adventurer and he's making Griffon obedient. Zaroust is also a famous adventurer in this Gosh."

"Shit! Still, I wouldn't call going outside the city at night an act of suicide...... but it's dangerous!

The words of the guards came not from worrying about the Narsas from the bottom of their minds... but from the thought that if they let Narsas out at their discretion and die as a result, they might be stunned by Daridora.

Because we know that, Narsus opens his mouth with a confident grin.

"There's no problem. Whatever happened in this case, Dalidra knows it has nothing to do with the guards."

Well, I wouldn't have thought there'd be an Azito outside the city to raid. The attitude of the guards soothes, albeit slightly, to Narsus, who tells him while hiding such insides.

Besides, the guard's gaze wasn't directed at Narsus, it was directed at Seto.

There is a Griffon, so it doesn't matter what happens.

Even close by, the guards could feel the power of Seto.

It's not that I can accurately understand the power, but it's still true that Griffon just makes me feel overwhelmed.

"... ok"

"And the second thing I want to ask for"

The moment the second word comes out of Narsus' mouth, the guard's face is slightly drawn.

Naturally. The first request is to open the main entrance, which is already closed, so that we can leave the city.

If they say it's my second favor since I took such a favor... what's the matter, I naturally became wary.

But Narsus smiles and opens his mouth as if to see through the feelings of such a guard.

"Don't worry. This one is not about being particularly impotent. Do you know where Mr. Ougust's mansion is?

"Huh? Huh, well"

I wonder if the guards, who know the conflict between Augusto and Daridora, would possibly be told to help do something to Augusto's mansion.

But on this occasion there is the figure of Zaroust, who is escorting Augusto, and Ray, who is said to be cooperating with Augusto.

You're gonna do something to Augusto's mansion in that situation? The question arose among the guards.

Following the guard's gaze and understanding what he was thinking, Narsus continues his words with a grin.

"There is Master Daridora in Mr. Augusto's mansion. I want you to tell those two that we're headed out of town. The destination is outside the city."

"... what?

He was a guard who looked like he couldn't understand from the bottom of his heart, but Narsus wasn't going to say any more.

It's not just the thought of keeping secrets, it's also purely about the security of the guards.

I don't expect the guards to be targeted, but it's possible.

"Well, I don't mind that much,"

"Well, then, please"

When told so briefly, Narusas turns his gaze toward Ray and Zaroust, Seto, and heads to the main entrance.

In order to open the main entrance, the guards hurried to the stuffing station to explain the situation to their companions.

Opening the front door at this hour just seems like a suicide act to the guards.

However, since the Lord has sent a circular to follow Daridora's request for escort immediately, it was not possible to defy him.

One of them heads to Augusto's mansion and opens the main entrance with the number of people remaining.

It's not like I'm going to open the front door completely.

In case the monsters think about the possibility of attacking me, it's not very much, but I couldn't imitate that.

More than that, opening the main entrance is minimal... that's really a critical position to the extent that the most transverse ceto in a row can pass through.

"Um, when will you be back?

That's what I asked, one of the guards I wouldn't want to do if I could imitate opening the front door again at night.

I want it after tomorrow morning if I can.

That's the thought that comes to mind, but ruthlessly Narsus denies that hope.

"I don't know. It could be tomorrow morning, or maybe I'll be back in a few hours. Unfortunately, it's not up to us to decide this one."

I didn't think there was a place outside the city with Azit, so I can't say when Narsus will be back either.

If there's a place in Azit near the city, I might be able to come back soon... but I don't even think the assassins have Azit ready right on the side of the city.

(If this is what we have aside in the city, we can say it will be over soon.)

Obviously, this is something we should say is out of the scope of our expectations, and honestly, isn't Seto wrong in the real sense? Even, Narsus thought.

But such an idea is immediately denied.

How powerful is Ray and Seto? I couldn't have doubted that.

... Most of all, Ray often does the missing things from the side, and I didn't know Ray around, so I assumed he was a complete high-ranking adventurer.

"Really?...... ok. Take care."

Though I told you so, what's on the guard's face is the thought of me taking turns with the next guard if I can, and then coming back.

Though I understand the guards' thoughts, Narsus, who is conscious that they are unscrupulous, doesn't go into it any further.

He nods briefly at the words of the guard and leaves the open gate to the outside of the city.

Moments, a deserty cold breeze blows at night, and Narusas and Zaroust give an unpleasant look to the cold.

In the meantime, Seto, as a griffon, had nothing to do with this degree of cold, and Ray had no choice but to feel the cold thanks to his dragon robe.

Have you noticed that, Narusas and Zaroust turn their gaze to Ray, who seems envious only for a moment.

Ray looks up at the sky as he hears Gosh's main entrance close behind him.

It has been quite a few days since I came to the Sollain country...... and to Gosh, which is flourishing around desert oasis.

But... Still, if you look up at the desert sky, there is so much starlight that you can catch your eye, and you can be blinded by the sight.

(Amazing, isn't it? I guess this view was not seen as the only one in Japan.... No, maybe even if you can't see it in Japan, if you can see it in the desert or something?

When I was thinking about that, I heard some mixed sighs nearby.

Turning his gaze to you, Xaroust naturally has a frightening look on his face, and Narsus has a look that shows how Ray feels.

Zaroust was born and raised in Gosh, so this view feels the usual and nothing.

Even the scenery was eye-catching to those who came from elsewhere, but for Zaroust, who had been close from birth, I had no idea why Ray was so moved by seeing the usual sights.

In comparison, Narsas, who is not from the Solrain country, has had the experience of being blinded by the sight of countless stars that can be seen in the desert sky when Dalidra pulls him out and comes to Gosh.

… although I have become more accustomed to the scenery than I have already lived in Gosh for many years.

Still, for the same experience, Narsus understood Ray's thoughts.

But it's also true that we're not going to let Ray soak up that emotion forever.

We didn't come outside Gosh to see the stars of the night sky, we're here to raid Ajito, the assassin targeting Daridora and Augusto.

"Ray, I'm sorry to see you in the starry sky, but it's time to start acting. Standing still in the desert at night is like telling a monster to attack me."

"Hmm? Oh, right. Bad."

"Fine. I was blinded when I came to Gosh, too."

To Ray and Narsus, who were having that conversation, Zaroust sighed when he said he didn't understand.
