"Oh, Ray. Are you done over there?
"Oh. I made Tris promise I'd leave this matter entirely to this one. I'm not talking about racing anymore."
In front of the guard's stuffing, Ray, Seto and one of the two marinas just looked at each other.
"Yes, we're all set. Dusker accepted our request, too. I'm pretty sure the intelligence unit wasn't strong enough, so I would have welcomed it."
"Really? Well, if you say so, that's fine with me... you're not imitating what Master Dusker resents me for later, are you?
"Yeah, of course. You think I'm gonna imitate that?
Ning Lo, it was Ray's honest thought that it could be done because it's a marina... Ray is not so far-fetched as to put that in his mouth here either.
Those two go straight inside when they speak lightly to the guards in front of the stuffing.... Seto naturally can't get inside the jar, so I roll over to sleep nearby.
And some passers-by were stroking and breading against such a ceto.
The guards in front of the stuffing station perform their duties as guards while smiling at the state of Seto like that.
"Ray, Marina. So this is how it came about, you carried it well, right?
In front of the cell where the guards led me into, Vihera speaks that way when she sees Ray and Marina.
Büne also raises his hand small and greets the Rays who came in.
Towards those two, the marina opens her mouth first.
"Yeah, there's nothing wrong with this one. And the paperwork... Here."
The marina, who showed the documents to Vihera, next gives them to the guards.
I guess the story went through originally. The guard who received the paperwork has a complex look on his face but nothing more to say.
"I don't have a problem with that either. Already Tris made me promise to pull my hand on this one. And I convinced Kana that I wouldn't even get my hands on it."
In Ray's words, Kana, who is in prison, gives a slightly surprising look.
Vihera had asked me what I was expected to do.
But still, I never thought Tris, who was after me, would give up.
Of course, that's very helpful, so thank you very much.
I wasn't going to lose so easily to my opponents around there, Kana, but it's true that Vihella still slightly questioned my arm for lightly defeating me.
If there weren't many people coming after themselves in that situation, that was definitely lucky.
"For that reason, I'm generally ready.... and then the question is how do you look for the person you've asked Kana to... Kana, you didn't get anything as a previous reward?
"Yeah, I got two white coins as an advance."
"... you've been so excited over there"
Originally, Precious envied Tris' position as Guilm Branch Manager of the Spiel Chamber of Commerce.
I mean, it's from emotions like jealousy and envy.
Behavior from such emotion...... two white gold coins with the request to kill Tris' escort as a warning, not to kill Tris too.
Whatever you thought from anywhere, the reward was too high.
Most importantly, it's harder for Precious to prepare an armed assassin than Slain has drawn his hand.
Besides, I don't know if maybe Ray would be involved...
With that in mind, it would have been necessary to excite rewards in order to hire someone with arms.
"So, what about that white gold coin? Could you possibly have it?
"No way. That's not why. I'm scared. I can't carry it."
"Then where is it?
"... why do you want to hear that?
Kana pointing a slightly more alert gaze at Ray.
I guess that's how I suspected they would take away the white gold coins.
As a person in the back society, the vigilance was natural.
In the first place, it's just the two Marinas and Vihera that Kana got along with.
Ray was playing a threatening role.
"Nothing. I'm not thinking of taking the white coin from you.... The white coin you received as a reward was naturally given to you by the other party? Then there's still the smell over there. And Seto has a sharp sense of smell."
Whimpering, Ray takes the leather bag out of Mystering, from which he passes two white gold coins to Kana.
"Look, I'll trade that white gold coin for yours. Is this it?
"... real?
It was Kana, who I suspect, but Ray also has a sense of doing something he doesn't like, so don't react to anything in particular, get a hand between the iron gratings, and wait while I offer him white gold coins.
Ten, twenty seconds...... and when thirty seconds have passed, Kana finally takes the white gold coin in Ray's hand.
When I quickly opened the distance, I was touching the white gold coin and gently clamping it to see if it was real.
"No, there would be no reason for me to give you a fake."
"... I can't believe it. But apparently, this white gold coin is real."
I checked it all out and I guess I finally convinced myself.
Kana returns that to Ray and holds the white gold coin as if it mattered.
Ray opens his mouth again as he sees how Kana is doing like that.
"Now, receiving that white gold coin means you need to tell me where your white gold coin is. I'm telling you, if you didn't have white coins where you taught them, you'd get what you deserve, so be careful."
The killing that was only released for a moment reminds Kana of death.
If I got that kill, the option of deceiving Ray already didn't exist in Kana.
Because if you do that, no doubt when you die, you understand that.
"... Yep. All right. The place is my safe house near Slam Street. The floor in the right corner of the room is coming off, digging into the ground beneath it and burying it."
"On the ground?... and you've been hiding it very strictly."
"It's white gold, of course."
That said, the Rays will hear more about the stash from Kana.
"Okay, well, I just wanted to say... but I figured someone needs to stay here as an escort"
"When that happens, I'll be the one left here, won't I? Beaune and Vihera are best served together, and there's no option to keep Ray from going."
To Marina's words, the guards and everyone but Kana nod.
It's the same reason Azimov went after the smell when it was raided and split second-hand in such a way as leaving it to the guards.
The only person who can communicate smoothly with Bühne is Vihella.
And Ray made the decision that the marina was better than the two Vihelas and Bühne to stay here than he needed to act with Seto.
"Are you sure?
To Vihera, who confirms so, the marina nods back that she has no problem.
"Yeah, that would be best given the current situation. Besides, I'm going to let Ray and I make it awesome just for what we gave away here when this thing clears up.... Fine, right?
"I can't say I don't like it. Well, we'll discuss that area later and decide. I'm going to have to ask Elaine for her opinion."
The two words that the women told each other so with a grin were fortunately not heard by the guards, thanks to their whispers.
... Instead, it sounded normal to Ray, who has a sharper hearing than a normal person.
"Spirit magic can be quite useful for escorts and stuff. So, Ray and the others don't have to worry about Kana, so get all worked up... No, if Ray gets all worked up, he might run out of gilms."
To the noisy words out of the marina's mouth, the guards move their hiccups and cheeks.
Because I understand that's the truth.
That's how many people can stop it if Ray is serious about it...... not so many people can manage with strength, even less.
But Ray opens his mouth in disgruntlement when he is turned to suspicious gaze by guards who were listening to the marina.
"I hope you don't tell me to crash anywhere I please."
"Think about what you do before you say it."
Words of protest are also lightly said back to the marina.
And given my previous deeds, it's not like there's room for me to say it back to Marina's words... after all, all Ray could do was look away softly.
"Look, if you've decided what you're going to do, let's just move. If we stay here forever, that'll fade the smell on the white gold coins, right?
To that word of Vihera, Ray opens his mouth in a slight panic, remembering the current situation.
"Right. Then it's time to go.... Marina, I've got this place."
"Yeah.... oh yeah. I was wondering if the guards could check on Azimov's house, if you don't mind. Alogan and Cullot are here, so maybe they'll be all right... but maybe they'll come up with something."
Ray and the others leave the cell room as they hear Marina speaking to the guards.
And I left the jar, exchanging a few words briefly with some guards.
Several passers-by were stroking ceto or giving dried meat in front of the stuffing, but that's the usual thing.
"I'm sorry, but leave me around. We have things to do now."
Just for the usual, if Ray says so, everyone gets scattered around a lot.
Sometimes some of us still say that we want to play with Seto, but this is the only place on the side of the guard's stuffing, and there was no such person.
... Ningro, the guard who had the feeling of seeing Seto in contact with the passers-by looked the most unfortunate.
"Bye, Seto. We're going to Slam Street."
"Gru?"
Again? And Seto tilts his little neck.
Even if you don't use your olfactory uplifting skills, it's not a place you want to go much like Slam Street for Seto, who has a sharp sense of smell in a vegan state.
It's a lot easier than when you're dealing with zombies, but the stench still stinks.
"Gru......"
"Don't be so depressed. What we're headed for isn't exactly Slam Street, it's near Slam Street. 'Cause I'm not actually going into Slam Street."
To Ray's explanation, Seto only relives his mind a little.
Only Seto, who has an overwhelmingly sharp sense of smell compared to humans, actually doesn't really care if he doesn't go into Slam Street and just goes nearby.
Still, it was true that it was somewhat better to smell the stench compared to entering the slum city.
Together with Seto, who looks a little calm, Ray takes two people, Vihera and Büne, to move toward Slam Street.
That's what I've told some of the people who saw Seto along the way want me to play with Seto... unfortunately, I can't afford that now.
Keep going down the road with a gentle no...... thanks to the rarity I didn't even buy and eat along the way or arrive near Slam Street.
"Ah."
In the meantime, Fujiray looks at one of the cabins near Slam Street and squeals small.
Naturally, Vihella can't be unaware of how Ray is doing.
"What's going on?
"No, if you say so, I've been here before. I thought so. Besides, that's how much you're involved in this case."
"On this one, too?
"Oh."
Nodding at the words of Vihera, explain when she had previously rubbed with the Azot Chamber of Commerce.
The fact that he told the previous meeting of the Azot Chamber of Commerce to give him a ceto or a magic item, which he rubbed because of.
Galahat and his previous meeting head rubbed at that time, and Galahat, who perceived the danger, escaped... was the cabin Ray was looking at.
"It's an old building a long way down the road."
"Well, from the outside, I guess so. But there's a room hidden underground."
"Heh."
To Ray's words, Vihella groans just a little more intriguingly.
But Ray quickly pulls and moves such a vihella.
I didn't have time to stop by that cabin right now, that's what I said.
"Yay, no more... not a little rambling?
"But if you don't, you're not really coming this way.... Look, there's gotta be a little bit more where I heard from Kana."
"You can't help it. Just a little more about Ray when this thing is over... let me know about Ray before you meet me."
... Yes, Vihera expressed interest in the cabin, partly because she was interested in a trick called the basement, but thought she might be able to learn more about Ray than she knew.
Promising to hear the story from Ray, Vihera walked out again without saying anything more… eventually, within not walking enough, she arrived in front of the building she had been hearing from Kana.
