Legend

Ray was frowning at reports heard from Marina and Vihella when Ajas and the others were coming to the conclusion that they were getting out of the guild.

The place, as usual, is the garden of the marina's house.

Besides the usual face of the red lotus wings there is also the figure of Ilse of this party.

The Ilse was pounding her tongue on many of the dishes she continued to prepare yesterday.

Many of the dishes prepared by Ray were stored in mysteries for freshly made dishes bought from stalls and cafeterias.

Plus, it looks like a pizza made out of a kiln of magic items.

For Ilse, who as an adventurer could not make that much money, every dish there was to be described as an eye poison.

But while eating so many of those dishes, the words out of the mouth of the marina and vihella are not worthy of enjoying a meal.

"After all, are there more missing persons?"

"Yeah, they're pretty good at asking the guild to find someone who's gone."

It's not hard to gather information on what kind of requests there are just for the former Alliance Master Marina.

It was not an illegal, dark means used behind it, it was also a request normally affixed to the requisition board, and it was a fact that you could tell as soon as you asked the receptionist.

Many receptionists admire the marina.

Marina is also an adventurer now, but also a guild advisor.

For such marinas, it was not a difficult story to gather information about publicly available requests.

"When you were looking around, you saw some people looking for someone you knew."

As a help to the guards, the words that came out of the mouth of Vihera, who was looking around Gilm, were also supportive of Marina's words.

What Ray said at this dining place was that it was about Ajas, but before that I heard it from the Rain Face of Rank D Party Mercy at the site where I was working on the additions, that my buddy was missing.

Neither does Ray know why he intended to talk about it.

In the first place, the Guild usually brings together a variety of people.

There are by no means many of them who go missing for any reason.

Especially now, more people are gathering than usual in the construction of the additions.

Beyond that, it's no strange story to see those who keep getting the news out of it.

But... yes, but.

Still, Ray was concerned about what he heard from the face of the rain of mercy.

There is no clear reason.

No, that would explain why they asked me about the character of a missing rainy member of mercy, a woman named Lusha.

"So-called, are there a lot of officers, too? If so, is it possible that someone is doing something aimed at someone like that?

Elaine whines as she savours a soup full of vegetables and bacon.

The words had strong persuasion.

Though it is on the periphery...... no, it should be said that it is because it is on the periphery, Gilm has developed quite a bit.

That is why it will be obvious how much it is developing because the scale of the Guild will change from a city to a city with this addition.

… most of all, it is a city ruled by Dusker, a neutral central figure in one of the three main factions in the kingdom of Mireana.

I guess it was odd in the first place that that was the size of the city, not the city.

"Right. I'm pretty sure Gilm is a lot of seduction.... but most of them are young women? Of course some of them are men, so it's not absolute..."

"Most of them are women. And then, after all, you're likely to have been involved in some kind of incident."

Ray whines as he is convinced, eating sausage and summer vegetable pizza.

Needless to say, a woman is prone to all kinds of trouble.

It would be harder for the chimps around there to figure out what to do than the ones who are missing are also adventurers.

But if you can't exercise your powers, then there are many ways to deal with them.

Where it's simple, you can serve medicine to your diet.

A simpler way is to attack a large number of people at once.

There is a wide variety of means, including unintentional strikes and darkness.

"... maybe you should ask the guards a few questions tomorrow"

Everyone on the spot nods at the words of Vihera, who is helping the guards.

Speaking of help, Vihera seemed to have a weak position, but very few of the guards could actually fight each other, even somewhat with Vihera.

So, among the guards, Vihera had a strong presence.

Of course strength alone does not earn unconditional trust and credibility from guards and other adventurers.

However, the fact that it acts as the wings of the Red Lotus, or that its strength was known around it in the Guild for a long time, probably worked well in this case.

Most of all, the fact that they were beating each other up one after the other from the look and outfit of Vihella also had to do with the circumstances around it.

"Right, do that. I'm so busy right now, I don't want to burden the guards too much if I can."

Those who were listening to Ray smile more or less.

The guards are busy because many adventurers, craftsmen and, at the end of the day, even ordinary people come to the Guild looking for work.

That's all a lot of people get together, so there's a commotion, naturally.

Particularly common among them would be the quarrel.

In fact, it has stopped Vihela and Buune as they look around the city...... no, it has been the most such quarrels that have repressed them.

Either way, the story settles with Vihela talking to the guards tomorrow about the missing person.

Could it be that the face of the rain of mercy has already consulted the guards? I thought, Ray, but if that's true, some people think that that wouldn't matter.

An adventurer who has just come to Gilm and Vihera, who has been working in Gilm for a long time.

He said that if we were consulted from both of them, the guards would have to move too.

(Plus, it feels oddly unpleasant. That's what it's like to have something screaming behind you... like that)

Concerned about the strange feeling inside, Ray opens his mouth as this is the end of the story of the missing for now,

"So, I'm talking about Ajas..."

The moment the name Ajas comes up, Ilse's atmosphere changes.

But that was also expected for Ray, so I won't say anything in particular.

"I tried sticking around today, but I knew it wouldn't be that easy to tail out over there. Sometimes I'm not that good at that."

In Ray, there was already certainty that Ajas was wearing a cat, regardless of whether it was Ilse's vendetta...

But there's no way we're going to take any action more forcefully than there's nothing to show for it.

"It would be easy to understand if Ajas was involved in the missing person we were talking about."

Vihera tells you it looks like a pain in the ass.

If that were the case, two problems would be solved at once, but that would not be the reason to decide so without any evidence.

"That would make it pretty easy.... Anyway, you know that Ajas is also suspicious of me. After that, it would be easier if you could show me your tail even if it was some kind of far-fetched behavior."

"If you behave in a far-fetched way, we can make a move. It's a shame you can't do that."

"... would you like me to hit Ajas directly?

That's what I said, Ilse.

But to such Ilse's words, Marina instantly shook her head to the side.

"You should stop it. Ajas doesn't know why Ray put his eyes on him. No, of course I might have predicted from my previous actions in conversation with Ray, but I'm not sure."

"But, Mr. Marina. If Ajas finds out I'm here, he'll make some kind of move."

"Right. But... the problem is that Ilse himself is less capable. If Ajas attacked you, what would you do? If one of us is on our side, we can deal with it. But... I don't know what to say, but we're kind of busy right now."

It was a cloudy marina of words, but its contents are tantamount to saying that we don't have the time to just be involved with Ilse at this busy time.

To such marina words, Ilse softly turns away her gaze.

Neither does Ilse think his revenge is a better event than the construction of the Guild.

Still, from Ilse's heart, there was nothing I could do to make her want her revenge to take precedence over Gilm's additions.

Ray, who felt a subtle vibe somewhere, mouths what he came up with.

"With the spiritual magic of the marina, can't you imitate letting Ilse know when she's in danger? Then, as you can see where Ilse is…"

"Right.... a little difficult, but I can't even do it. However, then..."

It was a marina to say something, but I close my eyes to think about something... and eventually I can't help but smile and open my mouth.

"I can't do it a little bit, but if it's possible or impossible, it's possible. But then there's the possibility that construction will be delayed a little bit."

"... I see"

To Ray, who is basically traveling to and from various places, Seto, who is taking on the sky watch in one hand, and Vihera and Biune, who are looking around the city.

Like those three and one, Marina works in a place where she works on additions.

Free spiritual magic… That's what makes the marina incredibly useful from the same spiritual magic user, which was also a great force in the field of additive construction.

Making that marina impossible comes naturally somewhere.

(The question is, to what extent is the clinging?)

There is no particular problem if it is to an acceptable degree of stubbornness.

However, that cannot be undone… but if it is likely to be a big deal, it must be taken for granted.

It was a marina watching Ray show her how lost she is, but eventually she groans that she can't help it, then opens her mouth.

"Okay. If Ray's getting that far into this kid, why don't I try a little harder?"

"Are you sure?

Ray turns a strange glance at the marina, who was reluctant until earlier to say so suddenly for some reason.

Having received such Ray's gaze, Marina nods with a glossy smile, as usual.

"Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that. I just want to reward you for your hard work."

"... even so. What am I supposed to do?

For a moment the word "part-time" was Ray past the back of his brain, but in the first place, the Rays are in Marina's house.

Given that it was also a house in the aristocratic district, there was no way Marina was in trouble with the money.

Also, Marina, who was until a while ago an Alliance Master, naturally also receives the reward.

The Alliance Master is the top in the Alliance… it is also the top in the Alliance of the Alliance on the edge.

Naturally, the reward is the right amount, equal to or greater than Ray, who has enough money to play and live even if a family is reborn ten times in his life.

Of course it is not gold or silver coins, but it is stored in a gemstone.

The fact that Marina's house is protected by spiritual magic also means its security.

... Marina herself is not that interested in gold.

Only Dark Elves don't have that much financial desire.

Whatever, the reward of wanting such a marina.

That was a bit unimaginable to Ray.

You didn't see Ray like that, and Vihella opens her mouth with a slightly shuddered mixed look.

"... one date with Ray. Isn't that the place?

"Huh? Is that okay? Well, I don't mind if I do."

"So do you mind if I ask Ray for a de, de, date as a reward, too? It's what keeps the aristocracy running."

Elaine was a little mouth-watering in a place called Dating, but Arla used to say Elaine like that! But I looked at it with a freaking look.

"Oh, well, maybe I'll ask for a date, too."

That's what Vihera, who was listening to Elaine, said, and in the end Ray was going to have direct contact with Ajas in exchange for making a date with the three Elainers.
