Legend

The conversation between Ajas and Ilse had proceeded strangely calmly, from Ray's perspective, knowing the circumstances.

Of course Ilse is talking to Ajas of Vengeance as he manages to push and kill the vengeful mind that is in him, but fortunately, while he was talking to Ajas, he was acquiring what should also be called the Vengeful Mind Control Act.

Just because you control it, of course, doesn't mean you lose your vengeance.

But it's getting better at keeping it out of expressions, attitudes and tricks.

"Hmm. Is Ilse still ranked low? Then I don't think it's going to do much good to see Ray do his job."

"Right. But because he's still low in rank and strength, he also told me it's a good idea to see how Ray, who has the highest power among adventurers, is doing the request right now..."

"Yeah? Does Ilse even know him at the top of the guild?

Asked so, Ajas stepped up his inner vigilance, though not putting it to words.

Still a low-ranking adventurer, so for Ajas, who needs a lot of women, Ilse was the one he wanted to take away if possible.

Getting to know Ray...... was a variety of unsavory elements, but in Ajas' sense, Ray just seems to have been pushed by a low-ranking adventurer named Ilse.

Of course imitating like plundering Ilse in front of Ray would put a stop to that.

But that's what Ray thought he wouldn't look for from himself if he took Ilse away in Ray's invisibility...

But if Ilse were to know the Alliance, the story would change.

Because if you take Ilse away, the guild could move.

(This should stop)

Ajas decides to do so lightly.

You deserve to call me beautiful, Ilse. Naturally it will be very popular with the men.

However, given the risks involved, it was Ajas' decision that it was not necessary to do so.

If Ray was the only one connected with this, I still thought I'd do something about it.

The speed and prudence of judgment around here would also be why Ajas' evil has never been made public.

And if you give up taking him away, Ajas will also lose enthusiasm gradually from his conversation with Ilse.

Did you perceive such an ajas attitude as a woman's or as a vengeful one?

Whatever the reason, Ilse understood Ajas' interest in himself was rapidly becoming lower.

I guess that... the act of Ajas, the subject of revenge, losing interest in himself, could not be tolerated.

The vengeance that held me back inside until earlier makes me look.

"With that said, Mr. Ajas. Actually, my parents were businessmen."

"Yeah? What all of a sudden? Heh, you're a pedestrian. Doing business with my family isn't that uncommon though. So, you're still involved in the construction of the gilm or something?

"... no. He was killed five years ago in the middle of a business trip."

"Uh... a bandit"

It's not such a rare story that a pedestrian is attacked by a bandit.

Essentially, the taste of attacking is not that much in itself, but instead the traffickers are not traveling in large numbers like the merchants, because they are inferior in the sense of nature and power.

In a band of dozens of bandits, attacking their opponents to that extent makes little sense, but even a small group of bandits has enough flavor for a pedestrian.

Weren't you attacked by such bandits... Ajas to tell you so, but Ilse shakes her neck beside it.

Ray, who was watching the two of them like that, wondered if he would stop Ilse from speaking.

But he's in these acts after finding out who he is, and more importantly, it's obviously unnatural for Ray to stop Ilse here.

Such an imitation would be like a dark indication that there is something going on between Ray and Ilse.

If imitated as such, Ajas doubtless suspects Ilse.

Later, Ray didn't even know what action he was going to take, but if he was still going to be suspicious, he decided he should do what Ilse wanted anymore, and he didn't stop Ilse now.

"No, I'm not a bandit"

"Yeah? Not a bandit? But I can't believe you attacked a pedestrian..."

"Right. I think bandits are the most common. But if you're a bandit, if you don't put it on the table like that... don't you think that's very convenient? Not to mention if the person is an adventurer."

Residents of places like villages, cities, and cities basically never move from where they live.

Except for the adventurer.

That's not a rare story to go elsewhere if you have a request.

If such an adventurer is in fact a bandit, it would be of great benefit to the bandit and a great detriment to the adventurer.

Information such as the Bandit's Crusade request is still available, but if we can move together in the name of escorts, like Ilse's parents, we won't even have to look for prey.

Of course, if you fail to protect the person you escorted, your rating from the Alliance will drop.

But still, if you're a bandit, you're familiar with the information behind society, and it's not hard to raise that downward rating.

In addition, in the case of Ajas, he had acted in such a way while successfully cooperating with three of his companions, and the act was never exposed.... Yes, until now.

Probably because I remember what Ilse said. The look on Ajas's face is only for a moment, but it definitely strengthens.

Still, you open your mouth to delude the story as to whether you have decided that you have not yet been found out who you are.

"Bandits... so to speak, there are no bandits near this Trent forest. No, it's near the guilds, of course."

In this case, I could say that I was good at not imitating it to force me to cut the story off.

If I had forcibly broken the story here, it would have been enough for me to suspect myself.

… Of course, Ilse recognized Ajas as the object of revenge from the beginning.

The Ilse opens her mouth, nodding at the story Ajas deviated from.

"Right. There seems to be no bandits around here. But... there are bandits wearing the skin of adventurers."

"What are you trying to say? I don't know, it sounds like you're calling me a bandit from earlier?

I guess I stayed here and decided that bad deception was just to pull my own leg.

Ajas asks Ilse in front of him with a more grumpy look on his face.

Fortunately for Ajas, there are no other faces on this occasion who are being asked to join us.

And... unfortunately, there is a Ray figure on this occasion.

An alias, high-ranking adventurer.

You can say this is unhappy like blowing your luck.

If Ray hadn't been here, it would have been possible to end Ilse here.

Then he looked casual and acted with the other adventurers, and instead of taking on tomorrow's job, he dazzled his whereabouts once... and so on.

But I can't imitate that at the time Ray is here.

(I don't know how suspicious he is of me over there... I hope he knows the area. Of what Ilse is totally saying about me more than I know... yeah? Ilse or bandit? pedestrian…)

Having thought that far, Ajas finally had one family figure past his back of his brain.

Yes, it was also natural that I recognized Ilse somewhere in front of me. That's because he used to be the pedestrian he attacked.

It was too late to realize that Ilse was the girl she deserved to call herself still young at the time, but there is no doubt that Ilse, who is now in front of Ajas, has a shadow of the girl then.

It is not entirely clear to Ajas himself how many people he has killed so far. But still, with all the evidence so far, I can understand who's in front of me.

Before such Ilse, it becomes difficult for Ajas to fix his expression as well.

Because I found out that it was the person who killed my family in front of me.

If you know that, you can't possibly see why Ilse is here.

No, I guess having even Ray, not just Ilse, means he's been sniping himself off from the start.

"No, I don't think of Mr. Ajas as a bandit. Because it's only one of the public stories.... or even something that comes to mind?

The words are soft, but already Ilse's gaze does not hide the killing intent in its eyes.

You killed my family. That's how you show survival.

If Ilse was the only one in front of him, it would have been Ajas who could have imitated killing him and escaping the scene.

But there's no way Ray could do that more than be on his side.

(What do we do? What am I supposed to do?

Already, it is clear that I have been completely eyed.

Now anyway, I needed to somehow get out of this place and get out of the guild as soon as possible.

(Damn, what's the guy looking into me got to do with this?

Somehow this place needs to be deluded.

Ajas to judge so, but as if he had anticipated the timing, there was a Seto roar from the sky... then a few seconds later I hear the fury of the other adventurers.

"The goblins are in the woods!

"Huh!? I'm coming!"

Ajas, who was being gazed at by Ray and Ilse, leaves the spot when he shouts this fortunately quickly.

Seeing the back of such ajas, Ilse reaches for the dagger's sheath reflexively... but stops that movement immediately.

Attacking Ajas in this place now could have captured and brought him to justice more than there was any evidence there.

... Yes. There's nothing I can do about it now, no matter how much I'm targeting Ajas as a vendetta, beyond the lack of proof.

"Well, now you know how Ajas is going to get out."

It was Ray's voice heard from behind that calmed Ilse down like that.

If Ajas were to do something... specifically attack Ilse, I would have been prepared to prevent it... that's the form that didn't make sense.

"Perhaps...... I thought I'd run away from the guild. I would have thought it wouldn't matter if I was the only one, but I don't think there's anything I can do about that guy with Mr. Ray."

Ilse whines as she takes a small, deep breath and manages to keep things like excitement and anger out of the table.

Regardless of the current situation in Ilse, Ray is also convinced of the words.

Because from the front, I didn't even think Ray had the elements to fight himself and win a little.

If so, there are not so many means that Ajas can take.

Ask someone who can fight each other with Ray for their own escort, or use some means to tailor Ray to criminals and let the guards and knights deal with him... and escape Gilm before Ray catches him, as Ilse said.

(The sure thing would be tailoring me to a criminal)

Ray, too, knows his character well enough.

It is that, noble or large merchant, there will be quite a few who resent the enemy in order to launch a relentless attack.

We could have made Ray a criminal if we had put those people together well.

But I don't have time for Ajas anymore.

More than that, it was impossible to take the means to make Ray a criminal.

(Then all I can think about is hiring an escort or running away... but I don't think you can hire someone that can fight each other so quickly)

In fact, there is no reason that none of those who fight close to Ray and each other in Gilm either.

But if you ask me if I can hire such a person right away, the answer would be no.

Not to mention that hiring such a person would have required a huge reward.

Ray's reading is that if you tell Ajas you can give him that much reward... he won't.

(No, maybe there is? Since five years ago...... no, if it was five years ago that I attacked Ilse's family, it is possible that I have been doing the same imitation for more years. That way, it's not strange that you're accumulating quite a few foreheads)

Once you have that possibility in mind too... but in the end it was decided that Ajas would take...

"Running away, I guess"

"Yes, but I don't think Ajas was coming to Gilm to work normally either. If so, it's not strange if you're up to something..."

"We'll need to find out as soon as we can around there."

It was so grunting Ray, but it was obvious that it wasn't Ray that actually looked into it, but to Dusker through the marina, to Egg through Dusker.
