Legend

The moment we get inside the lab, the smell of iron rust stimulates Ray's sense of smell.

Ray has five senses that are far sharper than normal humans. And Seto with an even sharper five senses than Ray.

Seto sleeping in front of Azimov's house, but I would have noticed the smell if it was usually all this blood.

The reason Ray or Seto didn't notice the smell of blood, that was because of the magic items Azimov uses in the lab.

If you make something out of alchemy, there can be a strong stench, regardless of success or failure.

That was outside the house...... on the contrary, there was also the possibility of a bad smell spreading around here.

No, I actually did one of those imitations once before, and the pamidoles that I heard about it forced me to make a magic item of deodorant half the time.

The effect was undoubtedly first-class, and there was nothing like making Ray or Seto smell like blood.

But this time it must have been a complete vendetta.

Ray, who enters the lab, immediately moves on to the next action, although he opens his eyes only for a moment to the sight that spreads in front of him.

The amount of blood that is spreading on the floor is considerable.

That may be somewhat daunting to describe as a sea of blood, but to the extent that it is not strange to describe it as a river of blood, a swamp of blood, a lake of blood.

I guess it hasn't been a few minutes since someone attacked me from where I'm barely thirsty for blood yet.

That was the likely reason why the raid took place so that the Rays would come to Azimov's house and back.

While approaching Azimov, Ray takes the potion out of the mistering.

That's also a pretty high quality potion, not something we normally sell in those stores.

Borderline, but therefore a substitute for an amount that is not so easy to buy even for Gilm adventurers who make more money than other cities and villages.

I haven't had any trouble with the gold, Ray, which is why I was able to buy a substitute.

With such an expensive potion in his hand, Ray leans back Azimov lying on the floor.

"Me."

A moment behind Ray's behavior, but Marina breaks Azimov's clothes and exposes the wound.

What was there was a wound that was massively slashed with a blade.

From Azimov's body under his clothes, blood continued to flow.

Looking at those two, Vihera and Buune move on to perimeter vigilance.

As far as the wound and the blood flowing, it was only a short while before Azimov was slashed.

If so, it's not strange that the killer is still around here.

And if you look at the Rays treating Azimov, none of them could possibly show up in the sense of interrupting it.

With those two, Ray and Marina can focus on treating Azimov.

Marina breaks Azimov's clothes on her back and exposes her wound.

The scar, which remains large from the right shoulder to the left flank, continued to bleed.

Is it because you were lucky that you didn't reach the kind of gut, even though you got so many wounds, or is there some other reason?

Ray didn't even know the exact reason for that, but still, as it is, he definitely would die within less than that distance of the amount of bleeding

"Thank you."

To be brief, Ray hangs the potion he had in his hand on Azimov's unconscious wound.

Only potions with high effects, and that's what closed the wound while I saw it.

The sight seems a little creepy when the unfamiliar see it... and so on.

If Azimov's consciousness hasn't been lost, I'd like to hear how he feels.

Ray was able to think that way, probably because he was still able to heal the wound.

Most importantly, the potion can heal wounds, but it can't be undone until the blood is lost.

I no longer die because of potions, but I would nevertheless need to rest for a while for the amount of blood that has spilled.

"What about the enemy?

Marina, relieved that Azimov's treatment by Ray has come to a halt, asks Vihera, who is wary of enemy raids.

But the only thing that came back was the act of shaking your head to the side.

"... yes. What are you gonna do?

Ray, who is gazed at, looks around with a difficult face.

Ray was quite close to Azimov, but he still doesn't have a complete picture of where there is in this lab.

If some kind of magic item was stolen from the lab, you can't guess it more than you don't know what kind of magic item was originally in this room.

(Hmm?)

Think that far, Fu Ray finds out.

to the fact that there are no Slapenil shoes anywhere in this room.

Originally, we knew that Ray was coming today to receive the improved Sleipnil shoes, and if so, Azimov would have naturally confirmed Sleipnil's shoes.

It is very likely that Azimov was doing a final confirmation of Slepnil's shoes here than he is falling down in this lab thus.

I mean, it would be weird if there weren't any Slapenil shoes here.

"Shit, is that Slapenil's shoe aim!?

It seeps through the agony and Ray screams.

Did you come to Azimov's house for Slapenil's shoes from the beginning, or did you accidentally have a mix of Slapenil's shoes inside you taking away some other magic items?

I don't know either of those, but I was pretty sure I didn't see Slapenil's shoes in the room anyway.

Maybe the final confirmation has already been made, and the possibility that Slapenil's shoes are somewhere else cannot be denied.

But leave yourself at that ease, if it really was true that Slapenil's shoes were stolen... then you won't regret it.

(But what do we do? How do we go after the guy who escaped from here? Already a clue...... no, it smells!

No one here already, but I was sure there was more smell than someone had.

Magic items keep the smell from leaking outside the room, but on the contrary, there is still the smell of the person who caused this one in this lab.

I got lost for a moment, but now I decide and scream that catching the killer is my top priority.

"Seto!"

Seto, who saw the Rays enter Azimov's house, was falling asleep in spring warm sunlight.

Someone will mind me falling asleep like this if I always do, but unfortunately no one passes near me now and I enjoy the sun.

In the winter cold...... that was Seto who could sleep without any concern, even when the temperature was below freezing point, but still preferred warm sunlight naturally.

That was how Seto was in half his fine sleep... but his sharp hearing never misses hearing him call himself from inside Azimov's house.

My favorite Ray is calling himself. That too, not for reasons like wanting to play, but in a way that's stuck with something.

The moment I understood Ray's cry, my half-sleep consciousness instantly awakened, usually pointing my circular eyes sharply at Azimov's house.

The door of Azimov's house is not wide enough for Seth to let in.

I have resizing skills, but still not enough to go inside Azimov's house.

Seto's actions with that in mind were quick.

If you can't get in through the door, you should go directly to where Ray is calling you.

So he decided, and when he stood up, he went toward the garden, not inside Azimov's house.

I guess I didn't take care of it at all when winter was over and spring.

Seto, who momentarily passes through a garden that is all-you-can-rough, arrives outside the lab window where Ray's voice has been heard.

And stick your face in while you destroy the window.

The room where we study alchemy meant that its laboratories were, naturally, sturdy built walls and windows, and even enhanced using alchemy.

But if it depends on Seto's physical abilities, it doesn't matter if it's slightly enhanced, but I didn't mind at all.

Ray's voice calling himself felt stuffed with cut wings, not soft and gentle colors, as usual.

I was wondering if that might be something imminent for Ray.

I guess that's why Seto did such a forceful imitation that he doesn't always do either.

Breaking through the window, half forcefully Seto enters the lab.

... Considering that the windows were not the only ones, but also the walls around the window frame, the damage would be quite significant.

Also, that's how Seto jumped in, so naturally the materials in the lab do the material, otherwise things fall on the floor one after the other that I don't know how to use for Ray.

But naturally there's no room for such triviality - for the Rays, but - to care.

Heading into Seto as he broke down the window and the wall, Ray screams sharply.

"Seto, do you know there's a smell in this room between us and anybody but Azimov?

"Grrrrrr...... Grrrrrr!

To Ray's words, Seto replies sharply.

What it meant was obvious without even thinking about it.

Especially if you activate your olfactory elevation skills, it's only natural because even a sharper sense of smell becomes sharper.

And soon Seto succeeds in sniffing out the smells of the Rays from inside the room, and other than Azimov.

"Grrrrrrrr"

Seto's gaze turned to the outside of the place where he had just penetrated... which means that whoever attacked Azimov ran away from this window.

(No, if you think about it, is that natural? In the first place, there is no difference in time between when Azimov was attacked and when we came to this house. That's why maybe there was still someone in this lab when I called)

To a sudden development, I guess I was meant to be calm myself but still upset.

Reflect for just a few seconds and eventually open your mouth.

"Me and... Vihera, Büne follows Seto. Marina transported Azimov to a safe place with the guards... right. Call Pamidor."

Each nods at the word, and the marina uses spiritual magic to produce water, and puts Azimov on top of it.

Strangely, there was nothing like Azimov sinking into the water.

The marina, who could use spiritual magic if she was supposed to, wanted us to come with her in pursuit, but this one also wants to take the bandit Bühne, who is good for pursuit.

But Ray couldn't understand exactly what Büne said.

Of course I can understand it to some extent, but if I still think it's a matter of urgency, I want to take Biune and Vihera, who can communicate with me.

I also knew that if it were to leave only Bühne here, it would be a struggle to carry Azimov.

As a result, Ray chose to have Marina stay here.

Sometimes he was an Alliance Master until about an hour ago, and his level of credibility with the guards was overwhelmingly higher than with Ray and Vihera.

"I'll take care of Azimov. Take care of the Rays.... Vihella, please Ray"

"Yeah, I got it."

Marina and Vihera exchange words briefly, and the Rays make their own move.

Marina leaves the lab with Azimov, unconscious due to water spiritual magic, and Ray goes outside from the hole that Seto drilled with Vihera and Büne.

"Seto, please"

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

To Ray's call, Seto runs out toward the back of the garden instead of going back down the path he passed earlier as he squeaked sharply.

I was a little surprised Ray, but if there was still a killer in the lab who attacked Azimov when the Rays arrived, that was a natural escape route.

I wouldn't normally think of running away from the Rays, trying to escape to where Seto is.

"I hope he's not a pain in the ass."

"You can't help but say that. In the first place, you do this, so you're the one who's extra confident in your arm? Otherwise, you're just an idiot."

"Mmm."

Vihera and Buune answer to Ray, who grunts as he follows Seto, respectively.

The fact that Ray and Azimov are close is a fairly well known fact.

There are cases of dusk spears, and there are cases where alchemists have been gathered about Ambris.

If you know that, attacking Azimov close to Ray... not to mention having someone to steal Ray's magic items seemed like a suicide act to Vihera.

They imitate a ray of aliases to anger them, so there's probably some chance of winning.

(And Slapenil's shoes...... I stole one of those magic items that supports Ray's ability to fight... it just seems like a suicide act. Definitely don't think Ray would imitate giving up along the way though)

With that in mind, Vihera followed Seto with Ray and Büne.
