The Rays received that report when they tried to get out of Azimov's house.

Playing a simulated battle, Allogan sighs at the same difference in strength from Ray, and Cullot only laughs dry when Ray assures him that he will lose in combat to smaller opponents like Büne.

Could it have failed a little? and Ray scratched a subtle cold sweat, I guess it's natural in a way.

I thoroughly frustrated the war between the two men who tried to entrust me with an escort... because on the contrary, it broke my heart.

For once it was a mock fight to match the strength of the other side, but I was wondering if I should have done a little less, and with that in mind, once I left Azimov's house and gathered some information... there came contact with a woman who had previously brought information that Precious had gone to Slam Street.

Information the woman asked me about a carriage rammed into the Guild branch of the Spiel Chamber of Commerce.

I can think of it as just an accident or something, but the Rays naturally didn't do what they thought they did with the current situation.

Almost certainly, the flying fire about Precious.

That's what I think, and the Rays run out toward the Gilm branch of the Spiel Chamber of Commerce.

"Maybe... no, definitely think of it as Precious' work. It could really be an accident, or a raid other than Precious."

"If you did, what would you do?

Despite his apparently difficult to move outfit as a party-dress, the marina's running speed remains the same as Ray's while asking questions.

Most importantly, it's because it runs a lot of people's roads, and if it's outside the city, it will naturally make a difference.

That doesn't change Vihera or Bühne again.

And most importantly, Seto was running with considerable restraint.

"I can't help it. Of course, if there's anything at stake, I can help you."

Ray owes Tris nothing.

More than that, I didn't bother to help myself with anything.

If Precious were to give evidence or information that caused a series of incidents, it would have been different.

Or, even where someone completely unrelated is about to die, there's a good chance he'll lend a hand.

"Well, it's all kinds of unnatural for a carriage to stick into Tris' store in the current situation. Perhaps it's more likely that Precious has set something up.... but it's after everything's happened, so I don't think there's a clue?

This is Vihella.

That's what he tells them as he runs in the wind with thin clothes like those worn by dancers and whores.

Beaune was also snorting silently as he ran behind such a vihella.

"Oh. I know that. I just need a little information and clues right now. Maybe there's a chance that...

I didn't think that would be the end of it, more than imitating letting the carriage run into the store.

Of course, there was a good chance that it was actually just a threat.

I actually needed to go to the store to make sure of the area.

That's how we go down the road, and eventually the number of people grows.

If this happens, the Rays can't run either, they change the way they travel to walk.

"The carriage broke in?

"Yeah, I hear you did... but they didn't have an audience, did they? So it's a miracle that no one is dead, regardless of the injured."

"Huh? He said there's no one there... then why was the carriage running? Without you..."

"Right. Probably means there's something to it. This shop seems to be a branch of the Spiel Chamber of Commerce that just came to Gilm."

"Wow, is that true? Then shouldn't we be too involved?

As I walk down the road, I hear that in Ray's ear.

I'm not talking out loud, I'm having a conversation with my neighbor in a whisper.

But if Ray's hearing is enough, he can hear the story.

(Carriage without an owner, huh? If it was a horse, I would normally avoid it if the building was in front of me. Or stop. But you didn't... couldn't you?

I doubt it, but I go down the road, and eventually I see the store where the carriage is poking in.

There was already a guard figure, and I was just checking the scene.

"I knew you'd be a little late."

"I can't help it. We got the information that the carriage went in here, and then we found out about it, and then we came here."

Listening to Marina and Vihera, Ray looks familiar... and finds the guard who was in the jar when Azimov was raided.

Then I guess they found Ray over there, too.... No, there are prominent faces like Seto, Marina and Vihera, so I guess it's not a hard story to find the Rays over there.

"Ray, what's going on?

"No, just come through. You said the carriage went in more than that?

"Oh. There was less damage..."

The guards cloud their words.

That's because there were spectacular spectators around.

It's all kinds of unsavory to mouth important information here.

That's what I thought, but Ray could still understand that there was something going on.

"Right. Can I see Tris?

"No, I'm just asking about a lot of things right now. I'm sorry, but I can't let you see me."

"... I see"

With that word, Ray understood that the incident was not just an accident.

It's rare that people in positions like Tris usually go out in stores.

Nonetheless, I wonder if this is how they're asking me what's going on.

Of course, even in normal accidents, they ask about the situation somewhat, so it's not necessarily true.

"Gru."

Seto gently pulls the hem of Ray's dragon robe, which he was talking to the guard.

You hungry for a second? And Ray wondered, but in the circular eyes of Seto staring at himself, there was a sharp light.

That shows all over the city, not Seto's gaze as a mascot...... outside the city, gaze as a monster.

That's all I know is that Seto found something unusual.

I guess Marina and Vihera also felt that Ray's signs had changed. Get close to Ray and Seto's side without alarm.

A moment late, Bühne also came to the Rays.

"What's going on?

Seto.

One woman shrugged briefly and stopped at the Marina's gaze following Ray's gaze.

A person with a haircut cut all over his shoulders, one that would deserve to be described as a beauty, one way or the other.

But when the woman tilts her neck in such a way that she realizes that the Rays are looking at herself and she doesn't know why she's being looked at, she eventually leaves the scene.

(What do we do? Do you want to chase?)

I was lost for a moment. Immediately speak up to Bühne, who is best at covert behavior in this.

"Beaune, go after that woman right now. However, only to the extent that it is not impossible. If there is any danger, make sure you leave immediately. We're going after you with Seto's nose."

"Mmm!"

Leave it to me! Whimpering a word like that, Büne quickly ran off the scene.

Even if the guards who were watching the Rays like that were going to say something, they would have understood that it would taste a lot worse if they spoke weirdly here.

In the end, he doesn't say anything, and when he speaks briefly to Ray, he goes straight back to the holding.

"Let's go."

A glance at such a guard, Ray says just that.

And Seto walks out, and Ray and the others follow.

"That was an unexpected development.... No, it's quite common for the killer to come back to the scene."

"Right. It's just that for the other side and this time, it was a lot unexpected, wasn't it? Otherwise, we wouldn't be doing a lame imitation of letting the carriage run into the store."

Vihera's words had something to convince Ray as well.

In fact, if it's normal, it's such a big deal... no, I rarely do meaningless flashy imitations.

It's not possible if it's a protest between the back organizations, but the Spiel Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of commerce in a historical table.... maybe there's somewhat of a dark spot behind it.

"So you're saying there was something to induce it.... Could that be about us?

The Rays showed up in Slam Street and did what they deserved to do to show strength in this sight and call it threatening.

Originally the aim was to panic Precious and thereby make him tail out, but didn't Precious's hand reach out to Tris instead of Ray?

To Ray's words I think so, Vihera nods.

"This is probably what happened at this time.... I didn't think they'd come out this way."

"Really? It's all kinds of reckless to get our hands on us, isn't it? Then I don't think this is ever the right thing to do."

Marina's explanation was convincing.

Even if Precious doesn't appreciate Ray that much, the slum city dwellers Precious put together are different.

The information about just living in the Guild and how strong Ray is is is well obtained.

If you do a strange imitation here, turn Ray against the enemy.

But I want to take a request from Precious.

With that in mind, I can convince Ray that it's not strange that he's not getting his hands on Ray this way and on Tris.

... There are actually a lot more complicated circumstances, but naturally Ray doesn't know that.

"Grrrrrrrr!?

Seto, who was leading the Rays, accidentally makes a sharp squeal.

There was no way Seto would do that without any meaning, and it was obvious something had happened.

And speaking of what happened in the current situation… it doesn't even have to be considered.

"Beaune!"

Knowing what it meant, Vihera screamed, increasing the speed at which she ran.

"Mmm!"

Before Rapier's blade as he passes right next to his face, Büne moves on to the attack without looking particularly hasty.

The woman who followed him spotted it lightly and was attacked backwards.

At first I didn't realize that the other side was waiting for me, and I suffered a small wound from Rapier's blow.

Still, all I had to do was slash and wound a woman's blow would be in the form of the results of the combat training that Bühne had done during the winter months.

Preemptive attacks were made, but since then, we've been fighting each other... no, one way or the other, Bühne was fighting for the advantage.

Compared to Rapier, the reach is short - still longer blade than normal - dagger.

Also, Biune deserves to call her an adult woman and still a child, even if she's the size of her body.

It was Bühne losing both in weapons and stature, but the difference in its reach was enough to overshadow it from Bühne's quick physical abilities and the experience gained in mock warfare with Ray and Vihela.

"You're a nasty little one. Don't you think it's time to rest?

She was a woman who told her to be embarrassed, but Büne set up her own weapon without looking like she cared at all for such a woman's words...... white clouds.

(My baby is a pain in the ass, but most importantly, that dagger is a pain in the ass.... dagger, right?

Woman...... For Kana, Rapier was a confident enough weapon.

That's why I've been able to act as a freelance assassin until now because I was confident in all that technology and covert action.

Naturally more than acting as an assassin, it is natural to use one's own convincing objects for that weapon, and the Rapier made from the material of the Rank B monster has just the sharpness to penetrate easily if that is the extent of the leather armor around it.

Nonetheless, when I make only a little contact with the weapon of the child in front of me, as it is, when the rapier is destroyed, I clearly understand that in response.

Why does a kid like that have such a dagger?

Such an odd dagger, with a blade clearly longer than a normal dagger, and then clearly shorter than a long one.

You obviously don't deserve a child in front of you to have it, such a weapon.

That would be the more effective use I would have.

That's what I thought, Kana, the pure white dagger in front of me only for a moment... blinded by the white clouds...

"Ouch!

I scream at the severe pain I felt unexpectedly.

Looking at him, he had an elongated needle stuck in his left arm and was definitely thrown into a flash of gap.

"You're going to do a nasty imitation."

"Mmm."

Once at a distance, Kana pulled out a long needle stuck in her left arm and threw it to the ground, staring at Büne with an abominable look on her face.
