Legend

The call came in when the guards were searching for Ray's whereabouts.

One of the guards, most adventurous enough to hold him back, ran into the jar, letting him out of breath.

"Ha, ha, ha, ha... hi, get people... get people together!

"What's up!?

I just work as a guard in the gilm, and suddenly I look at my buddies coming in and I ask them right away.

Now if the person who came in had not worn the uniform of a guard, they would have determined that it was some kind of raid and each had a weapon.

Owing to the nature of the original guard, resentment is often bought from the person who seized it.

Not to mention that now the situation is that Azimov has been raided, so the guards are naturally on guard around there.

"It's Ray, I hear Ray ran the aristocratic city with Seto and some others"

The moment the name Ray came out, all the guards listening to the story would pull their faces apart.

I heard from the marina and picked up Azimov... she had me dressed at the clinic, but still, looking at the clothes Azimov was wearing, I could easily understand how many wounds it was.

I don't know if Ray would approve of all those wounds himself, but someone my friend had borne and was unconscious.

The guards were also desperately searching for the whereabouts, but they could not find Ray, who was searching for the person who attacked the friend.

If it's just Ray, Seto's gone with him. Then naturally if I was somewhere, I would have found something soon, but I still can't find it.

Of course, the Guild is a city by category, but with more people year after year, the real population is no different from the city.

... That's enough to hold my head that Dusker, Lord of the Guild, has to expand the Guild within close proximity if it stays this way.

Originally Gilm is a city built by the kingdom of Mireana with so much national power pouring in, scratching up large numbers of soldiers and slaves, and still causing so much damage.

It was only at first with the power of the country that we could make it, but if we were to expand the Guild from now on, it would have to be done by the Lords themselves.

Naturally. Because the lord of this land is Dusker, and this is Dusker territory.

How much effort and funding does it take to do that around here?

Ask other nobles for help, of course, and that will be the number of hands you can lend me.

And naturally, if it does, it will demand various rights in the Guild.

The only frontier that exists in the kingdom of Mireana finds its value.

That is why the Larks Border House, where there is only one city called Gilm, can be the central figure of the Neutralists after the Kings and Nobles.

But Dusker is not going to influence the other nobles in the guilds.

Even those of your own faction.

... That's why I'm worried about what I'm going to do with the expansion of Gilm.

Anyway, it's not that easy to find a guard looking around for Ray just for a guild of that size... that's how I was having trouble, and the guard who came brought it was the current report.

"You're lying, aristocratic city!?

One of the guards screams unexpectedly, but that was the same for the others.

more so the aristocratic city...... and.

When it comes to aristocratic neighborhoods, it is naturally a section inhabited by many aristocrats.

Although, like the Azot Chamber of Commerce and the former guild master marina, they actually have mansions even if they are not noble, so they may not officially be called aristocratic neighborhoods.

But... if you think about it, there was plenty of chance that the aristocrats would give Ray a little.

As in the spring there were more new adventurers in the Guild, there are not many nobles who have recently come to the Guild.

Such a person naturally never actually saw Ray with his eyes and only heard of him in the story.

Maybe it wouldn't be strange to think that someone like that gave Ray a little bit of a fling.

"What's the damage to the aristocracy?

One of the guards asks who brought the news.

The others will be ready to go as soon as they hear the information.

The opponent is Ray.

Wearing somewhat more defensive armor makes little sense in front of Ray's offensive power.

If so, choosing an easy-to-move gear was the best choice.

"So far, no particular damage has been done. According to the stories of the adventurers who have been reporting, I don't care about the adventurers who tried to stop me, but I went for a point somewhere."

"... that's Seto"

One of the guards squeals as he prepares to leave.

I have heard from the marina that Seto is following the smell.

I didn't know exactly how much Seto's sense of smell was, but still it wasn't surprising to determine that Seto had a far better sense of smell than a human being than he was a high-ranking monster named Griffon.

"You should have crushed this water to contact Mr. Marina, right?

To that word, a guard who had heard the circumstances from the marina nodded back.

"Oh. I don't want to deal with an exasperated Ray, so call Mr. Marina right away. Mr. Marina would do something about Ray."

That was a better word than certainty, such as aspiration, but if we were to fight Ray properly, it was natural because the guards had no chance of winning.

That's why I'm pretty sure we'd rather act with Marina, who would have a strong influence over Ray than do something on our own in this case.

The water will be crushed and later the guards will be ready to face Ray in the meantime until the marina returns to the stuffing.

"Carriage, we're ready!

The guards, who had prepared their feet to head to the aristocratic quarter, enter the stuffing room and scream.

From here to the aristocratic district, there is quite a distance.

This time we had to get there in a little hurry, so we prepared a carriage so that we could run and move again and not waste our strength.

"Damn, I wish Captain Langa was here. The way Ray treats you is easy."

One of the guards squeals like that, but no one complains about it.

Because that's what all the guards thought.

But that langa is not in the Guild right now.

Dusker ordered me to travel to Abu Ero.

More importantly, at a time like this... would have been the honest thought of most guards.

Still mourning the absence of Langa, there's no reason to do anything more.

That's why we're doing what we can right now.

"Regardless of going to the aristocratic city, the guys patrolling other places can stay put, right?

"Oh, Ray's case is important, but it doesn't mean there's gonna be a whole lot of noise around the city."

This was also the hard spot for the guards.

There's no better way to take a guard patrolling elsewhere than to have the job of keeping Gilm safe.

… but there is also a lot of reason why it takes time to contact and collect all the guards scattered throughout the guild.

That's when the guards are ready...

"Maybe a little late?

Marina shows her face in the stuffing room.

"No. It's okay. I was just about to leave."

"Yes, the carriage on the table, right?

"Yes."

Words are exchanged briefly, and an armed guard boards the carriage among those who are currently free to move.

Of course, there is no way that all the guards on the move can get in the carriage.

Only the armed men among the guards will ride the carriage, and the others will run to the aristocratic city.

And when there were several guards on your stand, the carriage departed.

"So, where was Ray after all?

Marina squeaks in the carriage.

More than taking as many guards as you can is why you used a carriage, some carriages are packed to near the limit...... no, more guards than the limit.

If that were the case, some would naturally become intimate with the marina, and such a person would feel the soft body and smell of the marina up close, making her body completely solidified even if she knew what the current situation was.

The guard, who was in conversation with the marina, opens his mouth with such a complex feeling, pathetic and envious to see such a fellow.

It's an aristocratic town.

"... I see. Noble City, huh?"

The marina is naturally much more familiar with the aristocracy than it is with its own mansion.

And I was an Alliance Master until today, so I also know what disturbances those who came to the Guild in the spring will cause.

There is also information from people who were talking to the guards just before they were called in water made of spiritual magic.

However... I was sometimes not convinced by that.

"When I was looking for Ray, strange people came in contact."

"Weird person, is it?

The guard tilts his neck to the words that abruptly came out of the marina's mouth.

That is what brings all sorts of people together in the guilds of the border.

Many of them, naturally, are not surprising to be called strange people.

That's why Azimov, the victim of this case, was also perceived as a stranger by his surroundings.

"Yeah. I don't know what to describe it... people who feel like the words mediocre or average seem to be in human form as they are. Average size and face... that's who I am."

"It's also..."

The guards get slightly stuck in words.

Being mediocre means it's not weird to be in most places.

That would be the only talent in the city to be disputed by people.

The position of a guard made it possible to understand how dangerous such a person was.

The other guards who were listening around were similarly tightening their faces.

"Anyway, he brought me a message. This time, he said he was about to hit the Azot Chamber of Commerce with Ray."

"... I see. So is it a noble town?"

It is a famous story that the mansion of Galahat, which meets the Azot Chamber of Commerce, is located in the aristocratic district.

The guards are convinced why Ray went to the aristocratic district and why.

"But, Mr. Marina. That you're trying to bump into me, that this isn't the work of the Azot Chamber of Commerce?

"That's what you said about people who've been in contact with me at least. I just don't know if that's true, naturally.... I don't think Galahat would do a hostile imitation of Ray, but not everyone at the Azot Chamber of Commerce would."

"Right. To be honest, when I suspect everyone at the Azotto Chamber of Commerce, it's going to make a bit of a commotion, so I honestly want you to be different if you can."

Waking up a few years ago, the guards squeak, remembering the commotion between Ray and the Azot Chamber of Commerce.

In the end, the disturbances at that time succeeded in capturing the alchemists seconded by the Bestian Empire, with the result that the alchemy of the Kingdom of Mireana develops, albeit slightly.

But in proportion to that, the guards had to move around busily.

It is true that we need to do something if there is any more disturbance than we are in the position of guard, but that is why I don't think we want to have a very busy day moving on from ourselves.

"Pfft, yeah. Gilm made a lot of noise back then."

The marina laughs as she remembers the time.

Of course the guards weren't the only ones who were busy at the time. The Alliance is going to have a lot of busy time, too.

Remembering a few years ago, the carriage eventually enters the aristocratic district.

There's only a guard carriage, and no one to blame for it.

Should I say that the adventurers couldn't afford to know that Ningro Ray had broken into the aristocratic neighborhood and were busy moving like informing their own employers?

"It will take a little longer to get to the mansion where the Azot Chamber of Commerce meets... will it be all right?

The guard's concern would be the question of whether the Garahat mansion was still there when he arrived over there.

"Ray is also sharp, and you don't think the Azot Chamber of Commerce will be hostile to you, so I don't think it's a problem... at least we don't attack without asking questions, and we should really find out if the Azot Chamber of Commerce has anything to do with this one."

Such marina words are correct...... what the marina and guards saw when they arrived at the intended mansion was Ray's appearance explaining the situation to the guards and other noble private soldiers and adventurers in front of the main entrance with Galahat.
