Resonance that suddenly took my breath away as I was talking.

Until naturally a few seconds ago, faces like Ray, Zaroust and Narusas, who normally talked, suddenly can't hide their surprises.

"Huh? Hey, Ray. Is this some kind of joke?

I guess that's why Zaroust asked Ray that in such a way that he didn't even think about it.

But I also understand Zaroust, who asked, that Resonance is dead.

Still, I asked, probably because that's all the current situation was unexpected.

Of course, I've seen him bleed out of his mouth, and he's been stabbed with spears all over his body, crushed about half his body by an iron ball that Ray dropped from the air.

That's the situation, so naturally I didn't think there was a long way to go... but still I guess the guy I normally talked to not long ago didn't expect to lose his life this light either.

"... definitely, dead"

Unlike Zaroust, who asked Ray in surprise, Narsus quickly ascertains if he is breathing, if he has a pulse, if his heart is moving... etc.

Even the same adventurer would be in a form where the differences between the training grounds he had dived into so far appeared as they were.

"You're sure about that, aren't you?

Ask the words of Narsus, who confirmed that he was dead, for Ray to confirm.

But the only thing that came back from Narsus was acts like snorting silently.

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

Unexpectedly Seto squeaks sharply.

Maybe he was attracted to the smell of blood, and even the monsters did it?

It was the three of us who decided that and tried to set up a weapon, but there's no sign of a monster approaching.

"... Seto?

To Ray, who asks, Seto turned his gaze to those who are falling a little farther away.

It is a corpse, or still alive although it has lost part of its body, or is just very lucky to pass out.

For a moment Ray is bewildered by Seto, who saw those people and rattled his throat without knowing why they rang... the next moment he remembers the assassin man who fought in the lab.

"Poison for self-determination!?

He screams quickly and rushes towards those who are falling into the desert.

I guess Ray's words also made Zaroust and Narsus understand why Seto sounded so loud. Continue immediately after Ray.

That's how Ray, who arrived at the man closest to him, saw a man who was already desperate, flushing green liquid from his mouth.

"No, he's dead!

"Same here. … poison for self-determination, or"

Zaroust screams and Narusas nods to agree with it, whining to repeat Ray's words.

I heard from Daridora and other escorts about the poison for self-determination.

Nonetheless, it was a mixed whine of regret for letting you use it here.

"... wait a minute"

The groans of the injured can also already disappear, and all you can hear is the cold wind blowing in the desert at night.

In the meantime, Ray's words sound small but surely all around him.

Hey, what's up? To Zaroust and Narsus, who are turning such a gaze, Ray turns his gaze to the village...... Resonance says he turns his gaze to the village that was protected by artifacts.

Those who came out to intercept themselves thus chose to die after admitting defeat or taking the poison of self-determination.

And at the end of Ray's gaze, beyond being the villages of the assassins, it's not surprising that there are people other than those who are naturally in action this way... such as women, children and the elderly.

But what will happen to the assassins of this village when they die?

As Ray turns his gaze toward the village, Zaroust and Narsus dramatically pull their faces together to see if they've thought the same thing again as Ray.

Even if it's small, it's the size of a village.

And counting the number of those who fought against themselves, it's not surprising that a significant number of them are in the village.

What happened to them... The three people who noticed it rushed to the village.

"Seto! Be vigilant if the monster doesn't come!

"Gru!"

To Ray, who screams as he runs to the village, Seto rings out that he understands.

If something monster comes along, he decides he won't have anything to worry about if Seto is around, and Ray goes after Zaroust and Narsus, who were running first.

Instantly catching up with the two of them, and overtaking Ray goes straight into the village.

There were all those fights outside the village, so naturally there are no people outside the house.

Still, if there's someone out there, it's not strange to be peeking through the gaps in the house... and ramblingly opening the door of a house that was nearby, remembering a bad feeling.

There can't be anything like a key, I was in a light open house...

"Shit, I knew it"

From Ray's mouth, a bitter grunt leaks.

In the house, two elderly men and women had fallen from their mouths with green liquid and blood.

The same cause of death as those who have seen it before.

... that the only salvation was that it was a happy grin floating in the faces of those two old men?

"Ray!"

To Zaroust and Narsus, who came into the house screaming, Ray shook his head beside him in silence.

Seeing Ray's tricks like that, and seeing the two old men falling in the house, the tragedy of the village could have been anticipated.

Still, in case there might be, each of the three look around the village.

The idea that for a moment there might still be someone who could fight as an assassin passed the brains of Zaroust and Narsus, but now decided it was better to confirm the life and death of the villagers before that, and some danger began to act individually, ready.

That's how the Rays, who acted separately, saw... that there was no one alive in any house.

Old men and children.

Some babies thought they had just been born, but all of them had lost their lives with green liquid and blood flowing from their mouths.

"... no way"

Zaroust and Narsus, who looked around the village and met near the center, nodded back at Ray's words each with a painful face.

This is not the first time I've seen the sight of people dying, and I've been through it more than once.

But... Still, it's not fun to see the sights of people dying so close to helplessness in the wind, such as old people and children.

That's why it was an analgesic face.

"Why did you imitate this... needless to say that?

Ray nods back without hesitation when he asks the two of them to blow such air.

With the blood of the Resonance clan and the Tyra tree, you can create medicines that will stop you from feeling pain.

I don't know how to make that, but it wouldn't be a difficult story to create if the assumption was that I could still make it.

Even less, it's definitely overwhelmingly easier than starting to make it from scratch in a situation where you know nothing.

However... it takes the blood of a family of resonance to make the medicine, and if it becomes like making the medicine in earnest, the family of resonance will turn it into livestock to squeeze out the blood.

It was Ray's expectation that he would have lost his life while there was dignity if that were to happen...... and Zaroust and Narsus agreed with that.

"Whatever I say, but if Daridora finds out about this, she'll definitely try to make a pill.... I've suffered tremendous damage in this case."

Zaroust nods to Narusas's words, who knows his employer is tolerant of his men but does not hesitate to seek profit.

I've just lived in Gosh, and Zaroust knows exactly what character Daridora has.

In the first place, he tried to make Zaroust and Augusto attack the sand thieves for his own benefit.

(Well, as a result, Ray took me aboard the sand)

But that's only because Ray was there.

Had it not been for Ray on that spot, we would have been wiped out... devastated no matter how well we did.

That's what many of the camels that were carrying the carriage would have died for, and definitely sacrificed in terms of the luggage that was loaded on that carriage.

And it is possible that the sand thief would probably have been ordered to have even lost Augusto's life.

"It's just..."

Zaroust, thinking of Daridora, returned to me in Narsus' words.

"Just?"

"No, I'm pretty sure it would be more profitable for Gosh than we could find this place, right?

So said Zaroust and Ray, so to speak...... and look around.

Everyone, including Ray, confirms that there is an oasis, albeit small here.

There are numerous bodies in the house now, but if we clean up that body, we'll normally be able to use it as a house.

I mean, Gosh is just like getting another village.

Of course there's nothing wrong with that.

Until now, for example, we have bound ourselves not to be found by those around us in the artifact, but that bound has also been slashed and torn apart by a blow by Ray's Death Size, and the artifact is broken.

In other words, we have to do something about monsters and sand thieves to use this village.

Even if it's small, the village is a village.

Doing something about that village will require a huge expense.

"Oh, why don't we just experiment with Tyra's tree here?

Second, Narsus glanced slightly at the words coming out of Ray's mouth.

I already know the information that when Tyra trees gather for more than a certain amount, they attack people in search of food.

If so, it was Narsus' true intention not to want to live in such a dangerous place to imitate.

Most importantly, it was Daridora that Narsus was escorting, and I didn't think Daridora, who had a nervous personality, would come to the place where she would experiment with Tyra's tree.

(Besides, there is the danger of Tyra trees. medication...... you'll need to do something about this)

Reminds me of the conversation I had with Ray and Zaroust earlier.

As a hired person, I have to report to Daridora about medicines that keep me from feeling pain.

Then naturally Daridora would start researching Tyra's tree medicine.

I don't know if I can or can't do it, because it's definitely a drug that exists.

However, the problem would still be the ingredients.

If it meant looking for something to replace the blood of a family of resonance, then naturally the first thing to be tried was human blood as well.

When it is strange that only the blood of a particular clan becomes an ingredient, there is no mistake in using the blood of those around it, even if it is less.

(When you're going to do an experiment like that here... if you do poorly, you're going to come out undead or something)

Just because the assassin clan originally lived in the village, it's not strange for the undead to come out.

With that in mind, I didn't want to do such an experiment here.

"I don't want this place to be that way if I can. I have an oasis around the corner, and if it makes for an enclave of gosh, you're welcome here."

"... I also know what Narsus is trying to say, but the question is whether Daridora will accept that. Honestly, I think it's gonna be hard."

Zaroust's words are compelling of the late, though hostile to Daridora for many years.

"But even though I said it was small, I got one whole village, so I guess I'll just have to leave that area to Lewbrand?... Daridora's about to come out with her mouth."

It was Ray's word that he wouldn't leave it to Daridora that far, but what he returned to it was the sight of Zaroust and Narsus shaking their necks sideways, all together.

Ray looks at those two with a little sympathy.

He said it was sad that the lords of his city were not competent.

… but, objectively, Lewbrand is not competent, but he is not incompetent.

On the contrary, it is true that Gosh is developing more than before thanks to listening to Daridora's opinions.

"Anyway, you can't help staying here forever. Well, suppose it's time to go back?... We're not the only ones who can't burn all the bodies... but it stinks. Then you'd better get someone to do it."

If you leave the body alone, it's likely to turn into an undead.

I have to dispose of it early so that it doesn't happen... even though it's small, it's a corpse for one village.

There was no mistake that the three of us would be very laborious.

No matter how capable these three are of more than normal humans, what is needed in such a task is not a highly capable few, but manpower.

To Ray's words to say so, it's troublesome to leave this place alone and monsters attack, so Ray, who can get to Gosh a little faster, rode Seto to Gosh, and Zaroust and Narsus were going to wait here.
