Legend

Upon completing a full explanation of this matter at the guard's stuffing, several guards immediately headed to the sanatorium in Sellaris.

To bring in Azimov, the victim of this case.

If he was really injured, he wouldn't have been able to move it.

Fortunately, however, Azimov now recovered from the potion Ray had and was no longer in such a state of danger to his life, if not less.

That's why the guards picked up Azimov just in case.

"So, Mr. Marina. Don't you know where Ray went?

Marina's description talked about going after the smell with Seto, Vihera and Bühne, but there's nothing more we can do than not know exactly where they went.

In the current state of Ray that he's mad, if he does poorly, some of the guilds... no, maybe everything in the guilds even threatens to perish.

As a guard and as one of those who loved Gilm, I could never tolerate that.

We need to calm Ray down somehow.

I asked Marina from that thought, but Marina shook her head beside her in silence.

"I'm sorry, but as soon as Ray and I left, I carried Azimov to the clinic too, so I don't know where he went."

At this point, no information has yet entered the guard that Ray has broken into the aristocratic district.

No, the guards in the aristocratic district had information from the adventurers, but it is correct that that information had not yet arrived to this stuffing.

Had I known that information, I would have taken other guards with me to the aristocratic city, even soon.

... although it wasn't that easy to judge considering that it might cause hostility with Ray.

"Really?...... but I don't think I'm in this guild without the orders to steal Ray's magic items on purpose. … and normally, I would say."

It's the annual, all sorts of trouble caused by newbie adventurers - though it only means newbie to Gilm.

It's no surprise that some of them think they can have fun and make money because it's a guild on the edge.

And if someone who thought of something stupid had a half-strength... it would be obvious what would happen to it.

I would often be baptized by Gilm adventurers if I were normal, but that's not absolute either.

"But an adventurer who just came to Gilm, could he be after Azimov?

He's an alchemist with arms, but you'd want to avoid hanging a little bit that badly.

"No, but there aren't many people living around Azimov's residence, so in some cases..."

Azimov's house in a place where people don't really live.

If you think about it that way, it's not surprising that those who have just come to the Guild and don't know all kinds of circumstances imitate it like that. It's not weird...

"Considering it's a doomsday offense, it's a lot of discomfort, isn't it? In the first place, Azimov's not usually out of the house, is he? Why do you think Azimov is an alchemist?"

"Isn't that a coincidence?

"You're an alchemist, so you didn't attack Azimov, you mean you were an alchemist by chance if you attacked Azimov?... Well, it's not possible either."

With that said, it was clear that Marina was not convinced by the explanation of the guards.

By chance, someone finds the perfect location for an attack on Azimov's house, and if he hits there, Azimov is the alchemist by chance, Azimov is in the lab and there are several magic items surrounding him, from which he accidentally finds Ray's Slepnil shoes... by chance, he escapes when he realizes that Ray has come inside the house.

I was wondering how many coincidences could do that.

Regardless of one or two coincidences, when coincidences line up so far it's already hard to call them coincidences.

"Right. If you think about it a lot, you might.... Whatever that is, what will Mr. Marina do now?

Marina thinks a little about the words of a guard who decides it's hard to clean up as a coincidence.

I can wait in the jar like this, but he wants to explore the matter with his own hands if he can.

... could have been a problem if you were in the position of guild master, but fortunately the marina is just a one-way adventurer right now.

There's nothing wrong with acting the way you want.

But at the same time, it's true that Ray is running emotionally.

Perhaps...... no, it definitely would have been such a noise that the guards would have been contacted in this case.

"I'll look for it myself a little bit. It's just, if anything happens, can you let me know too? If Ray was raging, you'd need someone to calm him down, wouldn't you?

"It's... yes"

If it was meant to be, it would be for the guards to do something about it if someone caused a problem.

In fact, the disturbances that have been going on since spring...... the guards are suppressing much of the disturbances caused by the adventurers who are new to the Guild.

... a lot because many other adventurers did it before the guards did it.

Most of all, there were not only new adventurers, but also more disturbances caused by adventurers who had been in the Guild since the beginning.

Either way, he was a guard with all those who could manage if he was the majority of adventurers, but that was just against the 'majority' adventurers.

If you're a high-ranking adventurer... not to mention Ray with an alias, you can't possibly crack it down.

If it's really going to crack down on Ray, that's what we'll need to gather together other high-ranking adventurers and aliasers.

If we imitate that, it is certain that it will be a commotion involving the whole guild, and the guild itself will be in danger of extinction.

In order not to, I needed someone to calm Ray down.

A person named Marina, in that respect, definitely also enters the highest figure in the Guild.

... Who is the highest person to calm Ray down? and for a moment the guard gave a subtle look, but immediately turned it off and bowed his head to the marina.

"We'll get back to you as soon as we know what it is."

"Really? Then..."

Marina groans at the guard's words and casts a short spell.

Then, at the next moment, a mass of water appeared in the room where the marinas were.

That chunk of water is not so different from what I used when I carried Azimov.

However, the chunks of water that carried Azimov were just big enough to get people on board, whereas the chunks of water this time are only fist-sized.

"Uh, is this...?

On a chunk of water that suddenly appears, the guard asks bewildered.

Still, I guess the reason I wasn't alert to the chunks of water was because I trusted you about the marina.

Being an Alliance Master for many years was enough to build strong trust in the marina.

"It's made out of spiritual magic. If you know where Ray is, crush this chunk of water. 'Cause then you'll pass it on to me too."

"… convenient, this"

It is not clear that we can communicate between each other, but in Elgin, who has limited means of communication, he probably decided that water-based methods of communication are very useful.

But Marina shook her head sideways at such a guard.

"Unfortunately, this isn't even that convenient, is it? First of all, I don't have that much scope to contact, and in a few hours or so it will just be water... most importantly, something I can't make without using pretty spiritual magic"

It was impossible to constantly create this mass of water than there were not so many who could use spiritual magic.

"Really? I'm sorry, but I can't help it."

The guards also give up immediately, more than they are in a position to say no to the marina.

... Most of all, spiritual wizards are few in number but not just marinas.

Though I was wondering if I could somehow secure another spiritual wizard.

"Well, thank you very much."

"Ah, yes. Ok. I'll get back to you as soon as I know where Ray is."

Exchange words briefly, the marina leaves the stuffing.

"... well. The question is how to find clues."

Spring blue skies and warm air. Seeing as that's all, it's no surprise you're taking a nap somewhere in the shade.

Seto likes to take a nap, and I've seen Ray hang out with it so many times before.

But...... I still didn't think Ray would do such an imitation in the present situation.

Only Ray, who was so mad, can definitely be raised to a blood festival if he finds out who raided Azimov.

(At least, I hope you didn't kill me)

I think so, sometimes I have trouble missing someone to ask about the circumstances of this case.

It would also be significant that Marina is not that close to Azimov.

I really like Azimov, who has little interest in anything other than alchemy and doesn't even look at himself.

With that in mind, I walk around the city.

... The Marina look now just seemed like she was taking a pure walk rather than looking for anything in particular.

After leaving the jar, about enough time has passed... the marina looks around.

(It's not weird if there's a reaction to something)

Looking around with that in mind, Marina notices the person who is gazing at her.

Many people are gazing at marinas because of their beauty and the appearance of party dresses that expose their skin to a large extent.

That is irrelevant for young and old.

But the gaze now being directed at the marina was something of a completely different kind than that.

That's how I follow the gaze being directed at me, and there I was, a mediocre man, with no distinctive features.

That's who you're dealing with as if you took the word mediocre or average as it were.

I was wondering if you were too mediocre to notice that if you rubbed it off. Someone who seems that way.

He was such an opponent, but you must have noticed that he had his gaze pointed at the marina. If you bow your head down small, you move your gaze towards the uninhabited in a meaningful way.

It was a marina who suspicious someone like that for a moment, as a matter of course, but still didn't have the option of not following him like this, after that.

Only a marina of flashy beauty and outfits was followed by those around her with a gaze... but after all, without doing anything else, the marina proceeded to be without people.

"... Well, this is how you guided me, and that's enough. Do you know anything about this?

"I only pass on information my husband has taught me. Is that okay?

When the man at the end of Marina's gaze looks back, in a flat tone...... he tells that in a voice with absolutely no emotions.

He was also a man who had no noticeable appearance in his face as he stood by the word mediocre or average, but that, on the contrary, impresses him strongly on the marina as a characteristic of a man.

"Yeah, I don't mind. Now I want a little clue, and I'm the one to find out if that information's real."

"Really? … so let's get straight to the point. This was done by someone trying to hit Ray and the Azotto Chamber of Commerce."

"... the Azot Chamber of Commerce?

I know more about Ray's previous bump with the Azot Chamber of Commerce than Marina is also in the position of guild master, naturally.

That was part of the plot by the Bestian Empire, and as a result the meeting of the Azotto Chamber of Commerce at the time was captured, as well as the fact that his brother Galahat is doing the current meeting of the Azotto Chamber of Commerce.

And with Galahato at the Azot Chamber of Commerce meeting, he said his relationship with Ray is also being repaired.

"Where did anyone imitate that? In the first place, does he know what Ray's up to? If you think you can roll Ray in your own hands, you'll regret it, won't you?

Marina squeaks in a voice with a strong sense of reality, but the man who hears it doesn't look particularly upset either.

It was as if that was what you thought it would be like to have nothing to do with this one.

"Unfortunately, I haven't been asked what's going on around there either. But I know who Ray is, so I was wondering if there was a problem."

"... I hope so. So, is that the end of the information we can give you here?

"Yes, at least not the Azotto Chamber of Commerce planned this one."

"Oddly enough, you have the shoulders of the Azotto Chamber of Commerce, don't you?

"You can't say anything from me. I wonder what you think of your freedom."

Tell him so, and the man turns his back on the marina.

It was a marina I thought I would call something on the back of such a man, but I realized the chunk of water I had left in the stuffing had crumbled, and I would give up saying any more words.
