Legend

What was there was a totally unexpected sight when Ray brought the guards back to where the battles between Büne and Kana were.

Because even if it stays tied, Kana gets along with Marina and Vihera... that's why she was laughing and talking.

"... Ray, I've been called because I captured someone who had something to do with this one. Why is this happening?

"No, I can generally predict... but that's still an unexpected sight"

Ray was originally a hard hit on Kana with the aim of the man himself becoming a hater and hunting down his opponent, de-alerting the other side by treating it gently by Marina and Vihera, and drawing some information......

But when Ray, who had a tough attitude, stayed on the scene, decided that he would remain nervous over there, and this is how he was going to call the guards... it was unexpected that if he came back, this was also a sight to be called soothing.

"Ah."

The first person to find Ray and the guards like that was the marina.

Then I notice Vihera, Kana and in turn.

And when I saw Ray, it was Kana who responded big.

It must have been quite traumatic to have tasted the crisis of life by Death Size.

If it was purely a matter of putting your life in danger in battle, Kana also has more experience than working as an assassin.

But the crisis of life I remembered in front of Ray was very different from that I have ever felt.

That's so much so that I think that the intent to kill that I've ever felt is fake.

"It's okay. If you answer honestly what you've been asked, Ray won't do anything."

"... yeah, right"

To Marina's words, Kana only relieves a little tension.

Ray is amazed at how this is all he's been able to crack with his opponent in the short time he's been back...

"Then I'll give you Kana. You said you'd be interrogated, so don't imitate it rough, okay?

"Ha... yes!

The glossy grin turned guard man replies with a bright red face.

Seeing a guard like that, speaking of which, I haven't had much of an attitude like this lately after watching the marina...... and Ray thinks it doesn't matter.

The guard, who is given the tip of the rope tying the cana to the marina, takes the cana as it is.

Kana does not appear to be particularly defiant, but proceeds to be pulled by the guards.

As Marina said earlier, I'm sure she's going to respond to the inquiry.

When the two appearances disappeared completely out of sight, Ray turned his gaze to the marina as if he had been somewhere spooked.

"How dare you? Well, you've been so handless in this short time."

"Oh, isn't that just a little expressive? I'm glad you're getting along."

"From my point of view, it's the same thing. It's just that even as an assassin, he's the kind of person who's killed a lot of people before. For example, perhaps…"

"Death penalty, I guess."

It was Vihera who opened her mouth to carry on Ray's words.

But neither Ray nor Marina say no to that word.

In fact, I'm pretty sure assassins are mostly capital punishment if captured, so naturally.

Silence spreads around.

Whatever Ray is, just a little bit, but the marinas and vihelas he talked about only have a little pity.

This time he was killed by one of Tris's men... who has also been hired since he came to Gilm and has absolutely nothing to do with Marina or Vihera.

... No, former guild master Marina may recall something if she asks the name of the murdered adventurer.

Either way, that's why there's no resentment against Kana.

Ning Lo, I've just talked a lot here, and I can even remember how close I am.

Marina, thinking that way, recalls moaning that the meadow wolf in charge of Guild's intelligence was in trouble because of a shortage of people when he went to tell Dusker about his resignation from Guildmaster.

Meadow wolves are former bandits...... no, they're prostitutes.

That's why the original number is considerably smaller than the other bandits.

Until now, I could still manage to turn it around, but once the size of the guilds got bigger, there was no reason for that.

Of course the scale in this case does not mean the substantial size of the guilds, but the size in the sense that the meadow wolves operate.

(Right. From what I've told you, it's true you weren't that bad of a kid, and... you might want to talk about it for once. It's up to you to decide if you want to be hired.)

Let's talk to Dusker later.

That's what I thought. Marina opens her mouth again.

"Well, I've been talking to Kana and figured out a few things.... first. It wasn't Precious, it was an adventurer-inspired man."

"I guess..."

Neither does Ray expect Precious to do a far-fetched imitation that would directly request Kana to assassinate him.

That's what I was thinking, even if I gave you any instructions, it would be to pinch some people between them or ask them to ask their subordinates, not themselves.

(Yeah, but isn't it the case that you pinch a few people in between? Depending on the circumstances of Precious right now... if you remember a threat to us about Slam Street, such a lengthy imitation... or is it because of the days that have passed since then?

The days have passed, albeit somewhat from one incident in Slam Street.

Then didn't you hire Kana by pinching some people between them in the meantime?

It was Ray who thought that for a moment, but at the same time reminds me of Precious I saw in Slam Street.

To be precise, the guards and thinkers who were around them, not Precious.

Among them was the adventurer style… the appearance of a man who appeared to be an adventurer to be exact.

Of course in the sense of adventurer style, it is everywhere in a gilm with a large number of adventurers.

Because in the sense of the number of adventurers, it is one of the finest places in the kingdom of Mireana.

But it still bothers me that the person in Precious' escort is an adventurer-inspired person.

(In the first place, can you bother to keep an adventurer there if you're going to pinch someone in between? There's nothing wrong with just people in the back society.)

Think so and explain your thoughts to Marina and Vihera.

... still, Bühne sleeps completely in the spring cheer as he leans against Seto.

Ray opens his mouth again after finishing his explanation without touching you, thinking there was a battle with Kana and wondering if he had any choice about this.

"For that reason, I'm a little concerned about the adventure-style man who was at Precious' escort, what do you think?

"If you think normally, I don't think there's anything like a person coming out that leads directly to Precious... what do you think of Marina?

"Right. One of the most convenient possibilities for us is for Precious to stop working with us on one of the slums. Still, I worked hard for a few days, but in the end, I couldn't do it either... eventually, I asked my own escort for instructions to assassinate me."

"In that case, if you show Kana the Precious escort, it turns out it was Precious's work...?

"I hope he shows his tail that way."

To Ray's words, Vihella tells him softly.

In fact, it's Precious, who hasn't imitated anything that would leave clear evidence before.

It would be somewhat sweet to think that only this time......

"But you'd rather do it than do nothing, wouldn't you?

"... right. But then you didn't have to give Kana to the guards, did you?

"That's what we're talking about."

Originally, Ray took a tough attitude to get the information out of Kana, and then Ray disappeared to reassure her and lighten her mouth.

And the reason Ray was used as a convenient reason to disappear was to go get the guards.

Not to mention that I didn't even think I could create this friendly relationship with Kana, and the current situation for the Rays deserves to be called unexpected.

"You have no choice. I had a few thoughts about Kana, and if you're going to cooperate in the investigation over here, maybe I can offer you a commutation of your sentence.... Tris may not be convinced."

In a conversation with Kana, I still work today... both Marina and Vihera have heard that I did my job as an assassin.

Luckily, it seems that the target of the assassination was not Tris, but his men, but still for Tris, it doesn't make any difference that he was murdered.

If you ask me if I can forgive that because of my emotional problems, of course not... but as a merchant, I was still convinced that if I knew it would be in the interest of hunting down Precious, I would prioritize you.

"Well, can I leave you to it? We'll need to find Precious first to see if the escort is Precious's man."

"But if it was Precious' escort who requested the assassination... would I ever leave it in the Guild? Isn't it possible that he's already left the guild?

To the words of Vihera, Ray is convinced that it was possible.

At the same time, however, the question arose as to whether it would be so easy for Precious to return someone he trusted to the Guild, which could be considered an enemy land.

If it's just a simple gesture, that's the way to hire an adventurer if you're prepared to be somewhat informed about the slums and back streets.

But there will not be many of them if they become truly trustworthy opponents from the heart.

With that in mind, it was quite possible that Precious' escort had not yet disappeared.

(If it was really that person I asked Kana to talk about)

We end up there eventually.

But it was also true that I had to bet there this time, beyond the fact that there were no other clues.

"As for Precious' whereabouts, as you can see from the use of Kana, he's probably on the back street."

"That's a good chance. It's just that maybe Tris is grabbing some information, so I'm gonna ask Tris about it."

"... but the Precious thing is a race for either us or Tris to hold the evidence, right? I don't think you can honestly tell me if I go here and ask."

"Maybe. However, I'm pretty sure you should do something. By making this look like we're gathering information on Precious, Tris might be able to rush Precious."

I guess the rushing result was this branch raid.

But even if it was a request to pinch someone in between than the person who attacked him was captured, it could lead to him.

Not to mention that if Precious' escort had requested it directly, it would have reached Precious sooner and surely.

"I'll be sure to tell Dusker about it for once.... I'm just not sure because I don't know how the person behind this case is going to try to get the guild out."

Nor can Marina stop it altogether if the man who was Precious' escort tries to leave the guild.

I don't have any ideas, and if I'm just trying to get out, I might be able to discover it, but if I try to get out with someone unrelated, it's hard to find it.

Not to mention, it would be even more troublesome if you took on someone's escort as an individual request not to pass the guild and left the guild as it were.

"He's the one I brought all the way to Gilm, so I'm pretty sure he's a pretty trustworthy guy for Precious. For example, there are issues such as whether or not to let go so easily… there's no way to think about it like this."

To the words of Vihera, Ray and Marina nod each...... get to action quickly.

"Then I'll go talk to Tris."

"I guess I need to talk to Dusker. Vihera... what do we do?

"Right, I'm headed to the guard's stuffing. There's more to it than Kana getting caught. Maybe someone's gonna come and seal her mouth."

More than an assassin has been captured, his employer must not speak out against him.

It was true that there was not necessarily anyone who thought so.

Thus, the wings of the Red Lotus each initiate action.

... Note that Büne will naturally act with Vihera and Seto will act with Ray.
