The story in the stuffing room ended less than thirty minutes later.
In the first place, Ray and the others really didn't understand why they were attacked.
Even when asked why they were attacked in such a situation, they cannot answer as they deserve.
I also didn't know exactly what to expect from the most suspicious Elaine carriage, as far as researching the carriage.
Of course none of us are ever likely to have hidden anything from the carriage just because the Rays haven't noticed it, but it's still unlikely.
There is also the question of whether those who can imitate it before Ray and the others know it will send them to that extent.
In the end, we decided we had to ask the unconscious raiders what was going on, and Ray and the others stayed free.
"If I could, I'd like to know what's going on."
"You'll tell me one of these days. There are a lot of important people over here, and I think they'll scold you from the top if you don't report it, right?
Marina returns words to Ray's whining as she sits on the couch in the carriage.
The exchanges that have taken place earlier are naturally spreading among the inhabitants.
As we headed to the wheat pavilion at dusk, many outside the window saw the carriage in which the Rays were riding, talking to those nearby.
"Hey, dude. You know that commotion earlier? The guy in the carriage was attacked all of a sudden on the main street."
"Huh? Are you stupid, that guy? It's Seto walking with that carriage, isn't it? I mean, that carriage will have Ray on it. What are you thinking about attacking a carriage like that?
"I was watching the raid, but you were screaming for something that didn't make sense, right?
"Dude, are you serious? And then you're going to be bandits in the Guild."
"So that's what I'm saying. Besides, it was the masked men who attacked us."
"... Seriously, what did you want to do?
To that word, the passers-by who were talking can only tilt their necks.
In fact, even the men who attacked the carriage from the side had no idea what they wanted to do.
On the contrary, the guards and the Rays did not know why, and now the only clue seemed to be the captured men.
"It was some kind of stupid raid, but what do you care? You don't have many leads to the mastermind that was pulling the thread behind you."
Vihera squeaks as she drinks the fruit water that Ray serves.
It was supposed to be late autumn. Now it's just cold to drink cold fruit water, but this carriage was specially ordered by the Duke of Kelp.
Naturally, effects such as heating and cooling are also granted.
(Similar to eating ice cream with a torch in the winter?
Drinking fruit water, Ray felt the status quo that way.
"Right. I just don't really want to think that someone who imitates you was actually thinking about something in detail."
That's how Marina returns it to Vihera's words.
Was Elaine agreeing with that opinion, too, snorts while drinking fruit water?
Even as we speak, the carriage proceeds and eventually arrives near the guild.
"Oh, I'll let you down here. Because we have a lot to do, and we have to spread the word that we attacked that dungeon."
He was a marina determined to give the Alliance Master back, but still he's still the Alliance Master now.
If so, naturally, there is much work to be done.
Especially now, he was away from the Alliance about Vihera.
Naturally, there are many types of documents that the Alliance Master has to check.
It is also necessary to notify each location that the Alliance Master will be given over.
It wouldn't be that much of a fuss if I were a regular guild master, but the marina was a little special.
He has been an Alliance Master for many years on a land called Guild on the edge.
An adventurer in this guild, there are numerous people who took care of the marina.
Also, I didn't take care of you, but if you ever see a beautiful woman that emits a woman's luster by the time it's thick called a marina, it naturally remains intensely conscious.
And if you're a man... in some cases, even a woman, many get hit by that luster.
When a marina like that quits guild master, it's definitely going to be a fuss.
Other than that, Marina has a deep relationship with Dusker, Lord of the Guild.
Even the guild in the guild is a very important element.
The guilds on the periphery are doing it safely because there is a big reason why there is an adventurer.
When an Alliance Master who can unite that adventurer quits, it will never be in the wind that he is not an Alliance Master from tomorrow.
Greeting and above all taking over will be important.
... but the worker has to come back here to take over, and I'm sure that's a long way off.
When the various workers returned, the marina was going to move aggressively from now on… and into the coming winter, as soon as they took over and handed over the seat of the Alliance Master.
"Really? Okay.... I wanted to give you a ride home if I could, but I don't know the marina's house"
"Pfft, if you put it that way, you did. Until now, I've seen him in the Guild's office. My house is reserved for the aristocratic city. Now, if you quit the Alliance Master, you'll see him again."
Ray is strangely convinced by Marina's words.
I understand the importance of the adventurer in the guild, and since he is the guild master who holds that adventurer together, I don't suppose there's any reason to let him live in a detoured place.
With Marina's strength, that's what you wouldn't be in danger of living in Slam Street.
But if you think about the outside world, as guild master... well, as lord of the guild, you couldn't have let Marina live in a place like Slam Street.
"Can I quit my guild master or live in the aristocratic city?
"Even if you quit the Alliance Master, you're going to be in the position of a consultant. Besides, you bought the mansion for what I earned for myself? It's a very small house in the aristocratic district."
Of course, if the marina cared about it, she would have been able to build one of the most prestigious mansions in the aristocratic city.
Because I have all that financial power, and I have enough power in terms of being in the guild.
But the big mansion for the marina wasn't that interesting.
If the mansion gets bigger, it will naturally take more time to clean it.
Not to mention that I am often in the guild most of the time and going back to the mansion is about bedtime.
If you go out of your way to build a large mansion even though it's such a place, it'll take a lot of work.
You have to hire people to do things like clean up, and you have a job as an Alliance Master, and there's no way you can hire a detoured person.
As a result, the size of the mansion now inhabited by the marina was settling on a scale which, in one way or another, describes it as a house rather than a mansion.
... Note that the marina does it herself instead of hiring people to clean the house.
I use Spirit Magic for a short time without cleaning tools such as rags and rags.
"Really? I'm hoping we can go to the marina's sometime."
"Yeah, I hope so as soon as I can."
Marina returns that word to Vihera and also greets both Elaine and Ray lightly to get out of the carriage.
Sometimes near the guild, naturally many of the adventurers knew the face of the marina, and many were watching earlier disturbances and listening.
That too. When the marina gets off the carriage, it attracts the attention of the surrounding area.
Marina didn't look like she cared at all about such surrounding gaze as usual, and she also said goodbye to Seto and the yellow on his head.
And when you make sure the marina gets inside the guild, the carriage moves out again.
"Dear Elaine, a wheat pavilion at dusk would be nice, wouldn't it?
"Oh, do that. It took me a long time to head straight to the wheat pavilion at dusk."
That and this was due to masked raiders that Elaine had no idea about.
I would have planned for the marina to take a different action at the wheat pavilion at dusk, but I can't let her walk the marina to the guild more than that happened.
Of course with the marina's strength, those men to that extent would be able to sweep it away with spiritual magic and bows even if it was close to a hundred.
But still, in case you think about it, this is definitely how you should have sent it directly to the guild.
We needed to be as vigilant as we could be right now because we don't know what kind of thoughts they have.
"Still, I'm back in the corner guild... and you've been boring me a long time"
It's Vihera who squeaks and squeals.
I guess I've been looking forward to a lot of things for Vihella just for the first time in two months.... even though I was unconscious during those two months.
"Right. I just wanted to have a big banquet if I could, but I don't think so."
Originally, now the other adventurers are busy getting ready for the winter.
Regardless of who made the right amount of money they needed, for example, adventurers who haven't saved up enough money yet, or adventurers who have saved up somewhat but want to make it another ranked life.
"If Ray's happy, that's fine.... So, Elaine"
"Yeah?"
Vihera, who was talking to Ray, accidentally speaks to Elaine, who was drinking fruit water.
"What's up?
"How long can Elaine stay in the guild? Until spring?"
Hopefully so.
Vihera asked Elaine with that thought, but Elaine shook her neck to the side.
"I'd love to if I could, too, but this time I'm coming pretty hard. We need to get back as soon as we can. Fortunately... and I don't know if this is the right way to put it, but it hasn't snowed yet"
That smells dark when you leave the gilm before it snows in earnest.
"Really?... but can you just leave me now?
With a grin on his mouth, Vihella's gaze is directed toward Ray.
I haven't said anything in words, but it's obvious from Elaine's eyes what that means.
"... well. Don't be funny. If so, I have an idea, too?
"Oh, what's a thought? You think Elaine can do something under the circumstances? In the first place, Marina's about to quit guild master and join us, too, but what's Elaine going to do?
It was Vihera asking in a pranky way, but the light in its eyes is serious in itself.
Even a former royal family, he is now himself an adventurer.
The marina is about to renounce her position as Alliance Master and join us.
In comparison, Elaine is still tied to the aristocracy.
It was obvious I wanted to tell you that.
Elaine, too, must have figured out what Vihella was trying to say. Shut up with a little frowning.
He said it would be difficult to be recognized as Ray's partner as it is.
For Elaine, family is... and the Duke of Kelevel is not so easily abandoned.
Of course I understand that Ray is more important than anything, but the Duke of Keller is also more important.
Around there, I suppose I could say that the depth of my thoughts is different from that of Vihera, who ran away lightly from the Bestian Empire.
Elaine knows that too, but at the same time I don't think I can imitate anything like Vihera.
The atmosphere in the carriage slightly but darkens to the appearance of Elaine, who began to worry.
It may have been somewhat brighter if it was also a yellow in the carriage, but the yellow is currently outside the carriage with Seto.
"I guess Elaine also has a lot to think about and do, but you should think about that area a lot. I won't say any more from you, so just think about it."
If you tell him so, Vihera will shut up.
Naturally, Elaine also shuts up, and there's no way Ray can say anything in that.
The carriage continues in silence… eventually arriving at the wheat pavilion at dusk.
And I picked up the Rays who got off...
"Mmm!"
I haven't seen it in a while, it was Beaune.
