"... I wonder why this is happening"
Ray exhales and turns his gaze to the man in front of him.
There you are, a man in his twenties who dyed his face bright red with anger.
With a long sword in his hand, he is pointing his angry gaze at Ray.
Is it at least salvation that anger is mixed but not homicidal?
With his gaze sideways, Ray puts into sight Vihera, who has a troubled look on her face, and Bühne, who is as faceless as ever.
Ray's current situation was not such a difficult story.
"Nice! If I win, don't give Mr. Vihella another shot!
A man points the cutting edge of a long sword at Ray and screams like that.
What happened was when Ray finished talking to the workers and also exchanged words with Lenora and Kenny to come out of the guild.
That's when Vihera and Büne, who finished Guild's policing, came back to the Guild, just as if they had been weighing the timing.
... It's just not just Vihera and Bühne who were doing that alarm.
I'm asking adventurers to police the city without enough guards, but that was done in a group of people.
That's how the man in the group with Vihera was either highly presumptuous or not as if he had no resistance to the woman... either totally ascended to Vihera, a beautiful woman who could not be seen slightly or softly.
It's not like Vihera did anything to make you feel better about a man.
I just fell in love at first sight the moment I saw Vihella.
Halfway through, I was confident in my arms that that was how I realized I was the man extra Vihella deserved.
That's how I violently started attacking him, but naturally Vihera couldn't have dealt with the man... that's when I saw Ray's face and put a full grin in front of Vihera, a form that got half-runned.
"Uh... are you seriously going to fight me?
The man now in front of Ray wasn't the only one who was acting with Vihera.
That is why some have been acting as adventurers in the Guild for a long time, and such people naturally know Ray's strength.
That's why I managed to stop the man, but now that he's halfway out of his love for Vihera and his ability to think with jealousy for Ray, he never took such advice.
"Vihera"
It was Ray who turned his gaze to Vihera with his last favor, but what came back to it was the act of shaking his neck sideways.
Vihera also says no many times every time a man tells her to.
But that's how the man decided that Vihera was being deceived by Ray.
And if you can't forgive Ray for approaching Vihera, you decide so... the current situation.
"What's up! You cowered! Honest, fight this Melanie Canning and show it!
Man screaming...... No, Ray is just a little surprised by Melan's name.
Now the man in front of me is Melane Canning and... that's what I named him.
Yes, he named his last name.
Having a last name in this world is very rare.
That was not the kind of adventurer that could be named.
(Are you noble? Or have you achieved some sort of feat?
Think so for a moment, but decide that you won't have to think about the area.
After all, I wonder if this is a kind of duel, a battle whose victory has already been decided.
"Oh, you stink already.... Ok. I see what you're thinking anyway. Then let's get this over with."
Tell him so, Ray can do it.
However, it wasn't Death Size, Twilight Spear, or Tsu's Spear that Ray set up... fists.
"Hey, that's an imitation of what"
Ray doesn't have a weapon-like weapon, even though he says he has a long sword.
I'm just holding my fist lightly and bringing it in front of my face.
For Melanie, I just think she's insulting herself.
Those around them look up to heaven in such a way that they do not think of the words of Meran.
I'm just lucky Ray doesn't fight for real, but he doesn't think of that as if he doesn't know how Meran is... something like that.
"It means we don't need to use weapons to deal with you.... and I'm pretty good at bareback fights."
That word is never wrong.
Besides, using a weapon could have accidentally killed your opponent, but you hardly need to worry about that if you're bare hands.
... mostly because Ray's physical ability usually allows him to kill his opponent with his bare hands.
"Huh!? That arrogance, regret it after losing!
With that said, Melan waves down his long sword by packing his distance from Ray at once.
... Still trying to hit Ray with the part of his body that was in the middle of his body, not the blade part, would be a testament to the fact that although he challenged the duel, he didn't intend to kill Ray in any way.
(Heh, you looked like you had blood on your head, but you're thinking surprisingly)
Ray steps back as he looks at the belly of a long sword swung down against him.
In front of Ray, the long sword passes too far.
Side by side the man stopped the long sword that was about to hit the ground and leaves straight ahead.
Ray sticks his fist out at Melan, whose full blow has been removed and the movement has stopped for a moment.
Moments, what sounded around me was a sound that was not very much but I don't think people hit something.
Melane was wearing leather armor, but she loses consciousness the moment she wonders if she felt a floating sensation due to the shock that it made no sense at all.
In this case, Meran would have been lucky to lose consciousness.
I didn't have to experience my body blowing up a few meters and rolling a few more meters while rubbing my body on the ground.
"Oh, man.... look at that leather armor. Could that be a fist trail?
One of those who was looking around groans.
When those who were listening to the words turned their gaze to Meran's armor, there remained firmly in Meran's leather armor what seemed to be fist marks, as the man had spoken.
If it were normal, there wouldn't be anything so beautifully marked about hitting a leather armor.
That was a testament to how powerful Ray's unleashed blow was.
"Again, I'm going to mimic you."
Only Vihera watched Ray approaching herself in a frightened manner as those around her looked at the marks of her fist left on Meran's leather armor with a stunned look.
Vihera knew what Ray had done.... No, I guess I figured it out because it's Vihera.
The skill of Vihela is an immersive palm that touches the target while simultaneously using a magic impact to directly impact the target's body.
... Most importantly, now that you've absorbed Ambris, Vihella's Impregnated Palm has turned into a vicious skill of sending magic in and exploding from within just touching the target.
And what Ray did was, it seems similar to the immersion clap and it's different.
It's the same thing in the sense of impacting the other person's body, but the way to do it was to hit the leather armor and shock it with force.
Its power is just something Melan blows up flashy, even if Ray is considerably less handy.
"Really? Well, I'm going to cut you some slack so you don't die, and you have nothing else to say to your life. I don't think he broke any bones either."
"... that's a rare relief for Ray, isn't it?
"No, even I don't always beat the shit out of them, do I?
That's what I'd tell Ray, but Vihera sees Ray with the look of not trusting him.
"Thinking about Ray's behavior so far, I can't believe it for a second?
If you say so, Ray also has to recall the actions he has taken so far,
"Well, considering you fought for me, I'm happy as a woman"
As the word goes, Vihera smiles with real pleasure.
Near such a vihella, it seemed to Ray that Büne was pointing a frightened gaze at Vihella somewhere.
I haven't changed my expression as usual, but should I say that the atmosphere is different?
Either way, Vihera changes the subject if you notice such a view of Büne's gaze.
"So, Ray's back, which means we got rid of that thing, right?
"Oh, that one's over. It's just that you're finally breaking the wall?
"Sounds like it. I don't have much of a hand over there."
I guess I'm not really involved there, basically, just Vihera, who does something that feels like helping the guards.
"Right. Is the Marina still in Trento Forest today?
"Yeah. Spirit magic is helping a lot, isn't it? According to what I've heard, morale is rising without the ceiling."
"... well, it's a man's belt"
There are exceptions, but basically, there are many men.
At least not least, there was only a man named Gilm, whom Ray knew.
If luscious beauties like Marina are working together in such a way, naturally there will be many who want to show off the good.
Not only that, but in the case of marinas, there is spiritual magic.
It's a lot of work to do during the hot summer season.
Cutting a tree sometimes means working in the shade for once, but that can only be to the point of rest.
But...... if there is a Spirit Magic user there, what will happen?
The water and wind spirits that Marina specializes in are especially good at the effects of their hands.
In other words, they are able to work in a very cool environment despite the summer.
It was only natural for the marina to become popular with them because it was comfortable to work in the heat of summer.
"But it will be time for you to come back and... what do we do? Back to the wheat pavilion at dusk?
"Uh... right. I had some errands at the marina too, but that's not even a night."
"Oh, marina's the only one with errands?
"No, it's not like that."
Decorate the marina's house with the magic items you've taken from the Real Duct mansion because you don't need them.
There's no way I can say that in a crowded place like this, and Ray deludes himself that way.
You must have seen how Ray was doing and understood that there was something going on.
Vihera does not pursue Ray any further, either, but nods small.
"So I'm going to give the guild a job report, so will you give me a minute?
"I don't mind... what's he gonna do?
I fell in love with Vihera at first sight and got involved with Ray by mistake, but Ray asks as he looks at Melan, who has lost consciousness in one blow.
"Right.... So will someone keep him in the shade appropriately? I'm not gonna let you sleep in the summer sun."
To the words of Vihera, some of us who were acting together nod and pull Melan into the shade.
(You mean you know your people well)
A lot of people are fascinated by Vihera, not as much as Meran.
"Well, then, I'm playing with Seto"
"Yeah, I'll be right back."
Tell him so, Vihera takes Bühne and other faces into the guild.
Having dropped it off, Ray heads to where Seto is sleeping on the Alliance's side.
Seto was also looking at the earlier duel - unilaterally to call it - naturally, but he probably saw that the power was distinctly different.
While I slept, I didn't imitate Ray and Melanie giving a hand in the duel.
... Or maybe I was concentrating on the sandwich someone left me with.
"Grrrrrrrrrr"
Look at Ray, leave the sandwich he was eating as he fell asleep, and a throaty ceto.
Ray smiles small at how Seto looks like that.
"Absolutely, don't you mind worrying about me a little?
"Gru?"
Did you need to worry? And Ray gently strokes Seto's head, which rings his throat.
Seto's body and hair are warm in winter, but it's summer now.
I guess that's why a lot of people don't come together to stroke Ceto, as usual.
But some of them hug Seto regardless of whether it's summer or not.
Ray, who is hungry when he sees the sandwich Seto is eating, takes the sandwich out of the mysteries himself and starts eating it.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrr"
Then I guess Ray looked at the sandwich he was eating looking delicious. Seto rattles his throat that he wants him too.
For some reason Ray, sweet to Seto, waited for Vihera and Buune to come out as he parted sandwiches into such Seto.
