"... hey, what do you think?
After completing the formalities at the main entrance, the Rays entered the guild and were on their way to the wheat pavilion at dusk, as usual.
It was a carriage ride, but along the way we were accidentally surrounded by some men.
Of course I want to love Seto, who is acting with the carriage... not for the reason that weapons such as long swords and spears in the hands of the men would prove it.
Also, they're all covered so they can't see their faces.
(But will they attack you with dignity all over the city?
Ray is frightened because this is not a back alley with few people in the street, but a boulevard.
Not very much, but normally it's not like attacking people.
But the men currently wearing masks are actually trying to surround the carriage the Rays are riding in.
"I don't care what they say... honestly, are you insane? That's all I can ask you."
Vihera looks out the window at the carriage, whining as if she was somewhere frightened.
Gilm is of such a size that it can be described as a half-city, and some are slam-like.
If it's a place like that, that's not strange to imitate attacking people from day to day, but it's the boulevard where the Rays are now.
Now, Ray's eyes, looking out the window, can also see the people watching outside the masked raiders surrounding the carriage.
Without a doubt the guards will come in not so far away.
Do the Raiders understand that or are they not there? That's what Ray didn't understand.
"Wow! Come out! I'll kill you!"
"Though you wouldn't want this fine carriage destroyed! Come on out now. Yikes!
A prestigious yell, heard from outside the carriage.
Each screams as he wields his weapon.
"... sanity, I agree with Vihera. There's Seto, and he's attacking us? Normally, you wouldn't think about it first."
Elaine shrugs as she looks out the window, too.
Yes, this was only an anomaly, if you normally think about it.
On the side of the carriage, there is also Seto.
For the inhabitants of Gilm, it's a play-animal setup, but it doesn't make a difference to be a high-ranking monster.
That's why opponents like the ones currently surrounding the carriage have the strength to take them down with ease.
Do those who surround the carriage understand it or are they not there?
No, it can't be that you haven't noticed that more than you have Ceto in front of you.
If so, I have no idea why Ray can be so strong when he says that there is a ceto equivalent of a Rank S monster in such a state of affairs.
That's what if Seto gets a little serious, the men will take their lives in seconds.
(Don't you want your own life?... but you don't look like you're throwing or ready for that)
From Ray's eyes, the men never stand up.
That would be rank E if you think of it as an adventurer...... well and about D.
If it was meant to be, I don't think it's very strong enough to have a big face in the guild.
"Weird."
You had the same doubts as Ray, Marina squeaks.
No, in the position of guild master, Marina is more familiar with the presence of an adventurer than Ray.
If so, you would understand more than Ray that the situation is abnormal right now.
"Wow! I know you're following me out! Come out or I'll kill this horse too!
He was a man screaming as he swung his spear, but there was a mockery in Elaine's mouth when she heard it.
The horse carrying this carriage has been heavily trained since he was a little girl.
That would be easy to give back, if only to the extent of the men screaming around the carriage.
"Dear Elaine, what do you want to do?
The palace and the door that leads to it opens slightly and Ara asks Elaine.
With Ara's skill, those who currently surround the carriage can be easily defeated.
But what we didn't do was we didn't know what the men were doing around us.
Normally, it would be someone inside, or something, that surrounds the carriage, naturally.
But that's only a normal story.
As at present, Gilm's … it's not like it's done in a place on the boulevard, around which there are tons of people's eyes.
That's why I don't know what would happen if I imitated my hands on the detour, and this is how I would ask Elaine.
"... right. If we wait like this, perhaps the guards will come. If you imitate what you do here in the middle of nowhere, it could be harmful to those around you."
"So you're saying we'll see how it goes for a while?
"Do that. However, naturally, if the other hand actually comes out, I will allow him to strike back.... Ray, is Seto okay?
"They don't have a problem."
To Elaine's words, Ray returns the words as he looks out the window.
There, he accompanies Seto to the side to protect the carriage.
If the men were to attack, that would be the only way to blow it off with a swing of the forefoot.
But you're judging the surrounding situation strange, and so far there's nothing moving.
The men surrounding the carriage will also be able to speak a good word of prestige because Seto won't move.
But you just say the words and don't show how they actually attack you because you still don't want to make a big fuss?
Or is it simply the very purpose of creating this commotion?
"What is it really about?
"Come on?"
Marina tilts her neck at Ray's words, squealed as if by accident... then things move.
"Stop -! Don't stir up Seto!
One child jumped out of the crowd watching what was happening around him… that's why children of five or so ages jumped out.
In the child's eyes, the figure of the carriage in which the Rays are riding is not in his eyes.
I guess it just seemed like my friend Seto was being annoyed by the masked adults.
That's why I left it there and got out of the crowd to help my friends.
I'm sure you can say I have the courage...
But at the same time, there was no mistake in being reckless.
"Oh my God, you little... Whoa, I'm in the way!
One of the masked men releases a kick toward the child who came toward us screaming.
No, that's not as powerful as kicking.
You're right that you just rambled your legs out.
Still, adult power for a five-year-old is not something you can see sweetly.
Not to mention because the men, as you can see from their weapons, are capable of havoc.
"Wow!
The child who hits the man's foot is blown as-is and rolls down the ground.
From the crowd watching what was going on around me, screaming.
No way, you really didn't think I'd do this kind of imitation on such a boulevard.
Maybe some thought it was some kind of art or something.
To such surroundings, the man who kicked the child opens his mouth in a good mood.
"Ha! Imitate the extra... Huh?
He was the man who tried to yell at those around him.
But what the man saw the next moment was the sight that Seto, who should have been at the side of the carriage, was in front of him for some reason.
That, too, is not just in front of you. You are lifting your forelegs and trying to shake them.
I don't know what happened for a moment... the man loses consciousness when he is slapped to the ground with an intense impact at the next moment.
Fortunately at this time, Seto would not have thought to kill a man.
Most importantly, it was because I didn't want to make a scene around me, and I never thought of a man's life.
If you should have eaten Seto's blow, that's not strange for your head or upper body to turn into a piece of meat.
But although the man who kicked the child is unconscious due to the impact of being slapped to the ground, if he saw his hands and feet slightly but moving, he was certain to be alive.
"Nah!? Oh, shit! Damn it!
Another man who sees his fellow man unconscious tries to attack him with a long sword toward Seto...
"That's it."
Ray leaps out of the carriage when he sees things move due to Seto.
He decides he doesn't even have to give out his weapon and waves his fist to the belly of the man who was about to head to Seto.
Originally, in the sense of arm power, Ray is a human being apart, unlike his appearance.
The fist is literally in the belly of a man... but buried over leather armor, unconscious and falling to the ground without even being able to get the word out as it is.
The other men who surrounded the carriage must have noticed that their own people had lightly lost consciousness. Instead of being attacked all at once, watch carefully how Ray comes out.... but that was a bad idea.
If Ray was the only one against him, that could have been good too.
But on this occasion, besides Ray, there's also the appearance of Elaine and the others.
The carriage door isn't that big, so I couldn't do anything like everyone jumping out at once, but still Elaine, Marina and Vihera show up less than a few seconds after Ray left.
And...
"Guuuuuuu!"
Ara on your stand moves.
Although I had been watching how things were going until now, I guess I decided I should move too, rather than Ray moving.
Ray's...... The men, who were only conscious of Seto to be precise, would be suddenly attacked from a direction they had never expected.
It was only natural to look in the eyes of those around him that Ara struck with her bare hands, not with a power ax, considering that she was still in the guild.
If you're an adventurer, you're used to people's blood, but this is Gilm's... it's a boulevard, too.
Many ordinary people are not used to such things at all.
I don't even have to think about what would happen if I imitated two torso upwards and downwards, two left and right, or, on the contrary, crushed my upper body and scattered pieces of meat around it.
"Damn!"
"Geez."
"Bubba!
Elaine and the others know that, too, and instead of killing them, they just need to take away their consciousness.
I guess that figure was interesting to those who watched what was going on around them. Each cheers.
... naturally. It's like kicking a kid in the face. There can't be anyone who thinks it's funny to watch it.
On the contrary, some of those who watched what was going on around them looked like adventurers, and such people also attack the masked men who were about to attack the Rays.
Of course this isn't like using a long sword to slash and tear, it's a windy way of fighting like beating him while still stuck in the sheath.
If the Rays went out on offense at once and on the contrary, other adventurers from around them joined forces to fight... then it was very quick to settle the battle.
That's when the battle ends at the speed it deserves to describe instantly, and the masked men are unconscious and falling to the ground.
"... so, Ray. Who the hell do you think these people are?
"Even if they say so.... Can't you predict it for the marina?
Ray, asked by Vihera, asks to a nearby marina.
It was a marina with spiritual magic and a bow as a weapon, but only a former Rank A adventurer and a strong enough battle in life.
That was the only thing that made me lag behind someone like the men who are now unconscious in front of me.
"You're an adventurer in the Guild, and I don't think there's anyone involved with Ray. It's obvious that Ray or Ray's associates are in this carriage more than Seto is."
"Gru."
"Oh, haha, 'cause it's okay. Look, I'm fine now."
A child blown away by a masked man earlier shouts happily as he is rubbed in the face by Seto.
Kids who can play with Seto have some scratches when they roll down the ground, but they don't have particularly big scratches.
I was able to make contact with Ning Ro Seto, and he was raising his voice with joy.
Some of those around us who watched that happen should naturally be called enthusiasts of Seto.
Such people look at the children who can play with Seto with envy... because there is nothing to disturb them.
That kid can fully play with Seto because he went to help Seto at the beginning.
We couldn't get into that behavior for a variety of reasons.
Given the circumstances around it, this can be considered a natural reward.
Of course, if you ask me if I envy you, I say I envy you very much.
Some of those who think so are relieved that there are no two people on this scene whose names come up first as ceto enthusiasts like Mileyne and Johanna when Ceto is surrounded by masked men.
... because if those two were here, they might have decided to see blood.
That's what I thought from the bottom of my heart as I watched the guards rush in.
