Legend

Kana gives a complex look as she sees Giffnan seized in front of her.

I want to help myself, but I sold off Gifnan for the same reason, so I guess that's natural.

Still, I know it's worse than wanting to live than die, but I don't regret it.

And it was also big that I decided that this would allow me to survive.

"Now, don't even hold Precious accountable."

"Don't be ridiculous! I made my own decision on this one! Master Precious has nothing to do with this!

It was Giffnan screaming as the guards seized him, but Ray even smiles and opens his mouth against such an opponent.

"The boss has to take responsibility for what his men have done. The person in charge is responsible for taking responsibility."

"Ray! You!

I know I'm overwhelmingly stronger than I am because of Ray's relentless killings.

But still, Giffnan couldn't have watched his benefactor Precious go bankrupt.

"What are you mad at? This wouldn't have happened if Precious hadn't gotten his hands on Tris in the first place, would it? Normally, I think it's natural for Tris to be angry with you."

Even though I've hired you since you came to Gilm, you're killing my men.

Also, the fact that the carriage comes into the store cannot be hidden.

It was as a result of Tris' previous activities that Tris was entrusted with Gilm's branch.

Of course there's actually a lot of competition inside the Spiel Chamber of Commerce, and I guess that's why Tris beat Precious, so he was entrusted with this one...

Either way, only Tris has anything to do with this one.

Not to mention make it a Ray, Azimov or Azot Chamber of Commerce that got caught up in it, and you can say it completely flat out.

I was more than willing to condone Precious on Ray than I was.

"I told you if I followed you with me, that would be for Master Precious!

"Right. I got a chance to atone for my sins, so I guess that's for Precious?

"I'm kidding... I'm kidding!

Screaming like a soul.

But there's nothing you can do about Giffnan right now, even if you shout like that.

He even wants to hit Ray, because he's totally held up by guards.

"Well, now you're decisive that Precious is involved in a series of cases. Then why don't we pick you up?"

"... wait. For once, the guards are involved in this case. I'll get people out of here, too, so go with him."

I would have liked to go and detain Precious with only the guards, but I can't tell you not to go any further than the paperwork the Marina brought also said to leave the resolution of this case to the Rays.

All the guards could do was manage to accompany the Rays and be careful not to let Rays overdo it.

... I guess that was the biggest compromise Ray ever made, beyond the fact that anyone in the guard knows that he has no mercy on his hostile opponents.

"Right. Then we'll be heading to the inn where Precious is staying soon, so get us some people over there. Uh... you don't have to be alone."

I guess I spoke of compromising things because I remembered that there were quite a few such people as Precious' escorts and his men.

If it's just Precious, that's what the Rays can do.

However, if the number of people is high, there will be many who will flee.

If so, it was from that judgment that we were just talking about taking a lot of guards from the start.

"Okay, I'll be ready for this one soon.... make sure this guy doesn't do weird imitations"

I guess the best position among the guards on this scene is the one above. The other guards go into action quickly to the words of the guards who have asked Ray to accompany them.

"Don't be ridiculous! There's nothing wrong with Master Precious, everything's wrong with Tris's guy! Damn it, get off me, get off me! Hey, you're asking, Ray!

That's what Giffnan screams as she is pulled, but Ray doesn't look like he'll lend his ear to that voice already.

"So, Ray. Can I come with you this time?

"Oh. You're not going to do any more harm to Kana than you did to capture Giffnan. For the other side, it won't be that time anymore."

"I guess so. My own escort was taken, so maybe it's not the other way around."

Vihera pinches words for Marina and Ray's conversation.

Hearing that, Kana gives a slightly disturbing look.

Because it was my first experience to be on the side of being targeted, regardless of whether I was going for it as an assassin.

For better or worse, Kana was quite famous as a well-armed assassin.

Also, I was well aware, and failed to assassinate didn't imitate that my identity would be exposed... but now this is how I reveal myself in grandeur.

Most of all, it's safer than being in a cell in the back, whether you're revealing yourself or stuffing the guards, than being in the city normally.

(Yes... right? There's no safer place than here.

As she looks at the iron lattice in front of her, and narrows her eyes to the temperatures in the cell that are becoming awesome at the same time as safe, Kana finally turns her gaze to her opponent, who should also be called a symbol of her own fear.

If that means safety, that's definitely the safest way to be on Ray's side.

Even if the person I'm about to head over to is the likely one who wants to kill himself called Precious, stay on Ray's side... and if you could protect me, I didn't think that was the safer place to be.

(Most likely, that's because I'm not afraid of Ray.)

At that point, the option that Kana is already on Ray's side disappears.

The conclusion that eventually emerged was that it would still be safest to be in this cell.

While Kana thinks about her own safety, the Rays leave the room with the cell.

"Kana, be patient here a little longer. I'll adjust the temperature and everything, so I think we'll be fine for a while."

That's what Marina said with a laugh.

All I could do to Kana was wave it off gently.

Leaving the guard's stuffing, Ray joins Seto, who was sleeping outside, to his destination.

Other than the members of Red Lotus Wings, starting with Ray, there are about twenty guards following.

... The guards are more prominent if they are to travel with the regular guards... For the Rays, it could be said that the area is useless to worry about.

There's Seto, there's Vihera. That's why they stand out more overwhelmingly than the guards.

In Ray's case, with the dragon robe hood on, it's still less noticeable than Seto or Vihera.

If you take off your hood, you often gather someone else's gaze with that woman's face.

As they gather their surrounding gaze, the Rays proceed… Eventually, they arrive at the inn where Precious is staying.

"All scattered. If you want to escape the inn, capture him without question."

The other guards are scattered one after the other when the higher rank commands among the guards who have followed the Rays.

It's positioned to surround the inn, and if you jump out the window and try to escape, you'll soon find it.

When we so completely besiege the inn, the guard who gave the order nods toward Ray.

"Nice."

"Okay. Then... let's go. Oh, Seto. Help me capture someone when they escape from the inn, too. I don't want to kill you."

"Grrrrrrrr"

To Ray's words, Seto sounds his throat gladly.

Capturing the opponent who has fled is probably not even a job for Seto, but is tantamount to playing Ningro.

Griffon's... No, given Seto's power, that's natural.

That's how Ray, Marina, Vihera, Büne, and the guards go into the inn.

The innkeepers must have noticed what was going on out there.

An employee who responded when Ray and the others came to the inn earlier asks Ray.

"What the hell is this all about?

Neither does this employee feel anything given the current state of the accommodation.

Still, he needed to be resolute as an employee of this inn.

It was not Ray... who opened his mouth to such an employee, but the man who had led the guards.

"A merchant named Precious is staying in this inn? The person caused a slight problem. I want to talk to you a little bit, so I want you to let me through."

There is no other way to obey a guard if he says so, than to be an employee of an inn in Gilm.

But... in the words of such guards, the employee man sweeps his neck aside.

You say no? I thought so for a moment, Ray, but the words out of the employee's mouth exceeded the expectations of those who knew the circumstances.

"If it's Precious, I've already paid off the inn."

'What?'

It's not just Ray, everyone you were listening to speaks up.

A voice echoes around you that can be described as like a slip between them......

It was Marina who heard such an unexpected reply and returned it to me first.

"You didn't expect me to abandon Giffnan lightly.... I guess I've decided there's nothing more I can do than Ray took me."

"But don't you remember Precious's face by the guards!?

"... maybe there's another way. Besides, even if you get out of the inn, you're not getting out of the guild. There's a good chance he's hiding somewhere else."

To Marina's words, it was naturally Slam Street past Ray's brain.

If Precious is on the run for a place that you can see, it won't be hard to find either.

But when you get run into Slam Street, it's hard to find it.

Of course, Slam Street is a Slam Street, with its own order and information networks.

It might be possible to find Precious with that, but the problem would be that Ray doesn't have a message about you.

The same goes for Vihela and Buune, and Marina didn't even have a handout against Slam because of her position as a former guild master.

Conversely, there are handouts in an unspoken way, but you can only use them if you have the position of Alliance Master, and you can't use them in the Marina now that you quit Alliance Master.

"Huh!? I'm sorry, Ray. We'll go first. Maybe we can find Precious before we get into Slam Street. And given the possibility of being somewhere other than Slam Street, I can't stay like this."

When the man who was in command of the guards yells like that, he instructs the other guards to check out the rooms where Precious was using them before leaving the inn.

Accommodation employees are not allowed to check the rooms used by Precious if requested to do so by the guards, and will guide them personally.

"Ray, what are we gonna do?

To Vihera's words, Ray thinks about what he should do now… and concludes immediately.

"If Precious had escaped to Slam Street... or anywhere else, he wouldn't have taken the carriage, would he?

"I guess. It would be quite remarkable if you were going down Slam Street in a carriage, and most importantly, if you were to escape somewhere, you wouldn't be able to escape on a path where the carriage wouldn't let you in."

Slam Street is naturally not a lot of roads that can be traveled by carriage.

Beyond that, it is nearly impossible for Precious, who is being chased by the guards, to escape with a carriage.

I mean, I was sure there was still a carriage in this inn that Precious was using.

If this were a planned escape from the beginning, the choice would also have been made to dispose of the carriage to fund the escape.

But what Precious escaped was an outburst of Giffnan's company.

More than I remember being captured, it's time I need Precious more than anything who made the decision that I would be caught as I am, and I wouldn't imitate selling a carriage to get the money.

And Ray has a fellow with a high sense of smell called Seto.

(I'd just like to use some Precious personal stuff in my room to chase the smell if I can... the guards will need to do a lot of research, and it won't be possible to bring it up)

If it weren't for the carriage, I would have borrowed the stuff from the room that Precious was using, even if it was somewhat impossible.

But I couldn't feel the need to do more than have something called a carriage.

... If Seto couldn't keep up with the smell in the carriage, it would have been different.

That was the decision, and Ray asked the innkeeper to take him to the carriage that Precious was using.
