"Hmmm... vengeance,"

Vihera squeaks so briefly when she talks about one thing with Ilse, whom Ray met at noon over dinner in the garden of Marina's house.

Note that, originally, the Rays mostly ate in the wheat pavilion cafeteria at dusk, but that started eating in the garden of Marina's house because of the presence of Elaine and Arla.

The aristocratic nobles in Gilm naturally have information that Elaine is in Gilm.

In the first place, Elaine came to the Guild with the aim of keeping the aristocrats from giving strange little bits to the construction of the Guild.

More than that, it would be natural to make the aristocracy of Gilm aware that Elaine is here.

The neutrals found out about Elaine, if you think this is Gulm… Dusker's territory, which is the central figure of the neutrals, naturally.

The last of the three major factions to know that Elaine is here is, naturally, the Kings.

… but only the biggest of the three factions has a lot of influence.

It was the last time I found out that Elaine had come to Gilm, but still it was only about the difference of a few hours.

And besides the nobles, many of the merchants who were in front of the Lords' Hall realized, as a matter of course, that Elaine had come, and other than that, information flows from various places.

A large number of adventurers were gathering in the Guild today from various places, some of whom, naturally, knew Elaine.

Under those circumstances, there would be no reason to take Elaine out to the wheat pavilion at dusk.

If I take him out, he won't be in such a situation that he can calm down and eat.

At present, Elaine is eating slowly while talking to the Rays because this is the Marina Mansion, which is protected by spiritual magic.

(You have the same alias, but you're treated very differently.)

Turning her gaze to Elaine and Ray, Marina finds it interesting inside.

Princess General and Deep Red.

They both have aliases that are spreading across neighbouring countries, but the attitude of the others toward them is very different.

Respect the princess general, and fear the deep red.

Of course, some of them are afraid of the Princess General and have respect for the deep red.

Overall, however, the difference was decisive.

With that in mind, the marina opens her mouth.

"Even when it comes to revenge, there's a lot going on. If I could, I wouldn't want it to be too big a commotion."

"From that tone, does Marina think nothing of revenge either"

"Well, it's not uncommon to see someone trying to avenge you if you live long enough.... Except if that vengeful opponent is someone close to me, but if not, I think you should like it."

Marina that returns that light to Ray's words.

"Lord Marina, that's a little... as a former guild master, aren't you careless?

That's what Ara blames him for as he returns the spoon he was carrying in his mouth to the plate of soup.

But the marina you blamed, right? and just lean your little neck.

In doing so, brown skin illuminated by the moonlight creates a sight that can be described as glowing.

It wasn't like she was a homosexual, but she dyes her cheeks red in unintentional fashion, like a marina that shaped the word woman's luster as it were.

Arla, who noticed herself like that, was shaking her head beside her in a hurry.

It was a marina that looked like an interesting look at Ara, but eventually she had a stronger gaze at Ara's self, opening her mouth.

"Well, I'm only a former guild master. You're not the current guild master, so you don't have to worry about that much. Especially since I'm not in public right now."

"If you talk like that from time to time in a place like this, I think you could put that in your mouth in a public place."

When Arla tells her to blame a little, the marina opens her mouth with a glossy grin.

"It's okay. How much do you think I've been guild master? I know exactly what's going on around here."

With that said, it's hard to argue with Ara, who only lived around twenty years after all.

"Marina, don't be too hard on Ara."

"Oh, yeah? It's so cute when we talk like this, we stick to each other..."

To Elaine's words Marina tells her so, Arla tries to open her mouth whenever she says something to such a marina... after all, she can't speak any more and reaches for the dish on the table.

"Nevertheless, revenge? You've brought a lot of troublesome stories."

The next time Elaine turned her gaze away from Ara like that, Ray, who naturally brought this story.

But Ray didn't take revenge on himself either, he just got carried away with what he thought of it.

"Even if they say so.... By the way, is Elaine a revenge opponent, as far as what's going on now?

"I can't tell you anything."

"Huh?"

I just thought the word exactly the opposite was something that would return, and the missing voice between them leaks out of Ray's mouth.

That's not just Ray.

The same was true for faces like Marina, Vihera and Bühne.

Only thing is, Ara doesn't look particularly surprised by Elaine's words like that either.

"What's up? So surprised."

"No, I thought you were going to say revenge was a pointless act because it was really about Elaine."

"... I have gone out on many battlefields and defiled this hand with blood. Do you think I can say that revenge is a foolish act? That's what they call bullshit."

Having come out on many battlefields, Elaine has, naturally, taken many lives.

The number of lives would not be sufficient in places such as dozens or hundreds, if the lives taken by the person in question were not taken directly, but combined with the lives taken by commanding his men.

Above and beyond that, Elaine thinks it's not strange to have officials of the person she took her life from come for revenge, either directly or indirectly.

Everyone had a convincing look on Elaine's account like that.

Most of those present here have taken many lives in battle.

The only thing is that only Büne had never participated in a war since that age, and even when he was attacking a dungeon on his own, he basically tended to avoid fighting, so he never took a person's life so much.

... even if it is such a beaune, it is only about that, and where there is no reason for all of them, there is the work of such people as adventurers, knights, and soldiers.

"Well, I don't know exactly what kind of woman like Ilse wants revenge on."

"That's probably what you've been asking me on purpose..."

To Elaine's words, that's what Ray returns.

I came all the way to the gathering guilds of adventurers and I hear what you think about revenge, so I was definitely going to take revenge on someone who is currently in the guilds.

(No way you have someone to avenge a bandit at a time like this.)

Even now, many adventurers are gathering in the Guild.

More than that, it didn't seem to Ray that the bandits would come around the Guild.

In some cases, it may seem like a private soldier of the Real Duct who makes him look like a bandit, so I can't say he's never there.

Or it's possible that the monster killed me... but I had to say that it wasn't very likely in the end.

"I hope there's a strange commotion going on."

I have a feeling it could be a big commotion, and I squeal like that.

Most importantly, the current guilds sometimes bring together adventurers, and the guards look around more often than usual.

That doesn't seem to be enough, and he's making a request to the Alliance for adventurers to look around.

If something were to cause a commotion in such a situation, it would undoubtedly be found first and it would be a huge commotion.

"So... did you ask me why I would take revenge?

"No, I didn't ask. What I was asked was what do you think of revenge only? And so on."

"Yes.... vengeance is vengeance, but I hope it's not vengeance like blood... how about that?

"You can't."

To Marina's words, Ray clearly shakes his neck to the side to deny it.

From the way I've asked myself what I think of revenge... and from the way I said I envy my power more than that, jealous, I didn't think it would turn out to be a big fuss.

On the contrary, Ray also understood that he was aiming for revenge in the sense of undoubtedly taking the other's life.

Marina nods back unfortunately at how Ray looks like that.

"When that happens, just hope it ends with at least as little disturbance as possible."

Vihera whines as she was listening to Ray and Marina conversations, and next to her, Bühne, who was eating pizza, nods as she agrees.

These two, basically, are now looking around the guilds.

So, there was ample chance that if it became a commotion, it would be driven out.

Although Bühne has difficulty communicating his intentions, as a bandit he has an average skill, so he is well suited to pursuing someone with whom he has done something.

Vihera was well suited to powerlessness those who were rampant out of their strength.

Especially given the current Guild situation, there is a good chance that it is an adventurer or a bloody craftsman who is rambling.

Naturally, seizing such an opponent requires a corresponding amount of strength.

Of course Gilm's guards are skilled enough because they usually hold such opponents back, but now that's where all the commotion is happening.

Simply out of reach... that's why Vihelas and their adventurers are hired.

Naturally, in such circumstances, standing figures are often invoked, and Vihella is one of the highest skilled in the Guild.

If this is a really strong opponent, Vihera will also show some willingness to do it... unfortunately, there are few such opponents.

… I suppose the area of rarity, and not all, represents the peculiarity of the guilds.

In fact, until today, there have been several battles with opponents that even a little bit of Vihella can enjoy.

All in all, there were other times when only Vihela could communicate perfectly with Büne, and Vihela was sometimes called on that issue.

It was basically Vihera and Bühne acting together, but sometimes we really have to act differently... so it's in the form of Vihera being called.

"Little commotion, huh?... I really hope it ends that way..."

"What the hell, Marina? Seems like a lot of cloudy words."

Hey, what's up? To Elaine, who asks, Marina takes a small sigh of sigh watching Vihera and Bühne.

"This is the only building that's ever been built? Normally, it wouldn't be weird if someone came out with a little something, would it? In fact, Count Lerduct has had his hands full."

"Right. That's why I came to Gilm. … but personally, I was more than welcome to come to Gilm."

Originally, Elaine's only way to meet Ray was to have a conversation in a pair of orbs.

No, I would still say that in this day and age we would have been blessed.

Like when Ray was in Japan, this Elgin doesn't make it easy to talk to someone away from him using the Internet.

It's not a letter, it's not a privileged environment, if you send it out like you did when you were in Japan, it will definitely reach them in a few days.

The cheapest way to get a letter out is to entrust it to the merchant squad, but then I don't know when it will arrive.

No, it's even possible that at worst that merchant squad will be attacked and devastated by bandits and monsters.

There are ways to carry letters with adventurers, subpoena magic, and tamed monsters, but that's where ordinary people need money they can't easily give.

In that sense, it was very difficult to establish a distance relationship in this Elgin.

… but it may be a testament to how strong human romantic feelings are around not all of them.

Together, I was very blessed in the case of Ray and Elaine, who have a pair of orbs, compared to such others.

No, we didn't have that stuff at first, and we wanted to talk to each other whenever we were away, so we got ourselves a pair of orbs, so I guess it's not just luck but the strength to do it.

But...... still, I guess it was only natural for a loving maiden like Elaine to want to talk to Ray directly, not over a pair of orbs.
