"Ha, ha, ha"

Ajas, with his long sword in his hand, looks around as he disturbs his breath.

Goblins who have come into Trent's woods are all falling to the ground with their lives lost.

"Oh, man. What's the matter, Ajas? Goblins, huh? Why are you so serious?

One of the adventurers who is being asked with Ajas to escort Ajas speaks up to Ajas so that he cares.

However, Ajas, who was called out, stares at the other person as if he had run half-blood.

"Huh!? Oh, hey, Ajas?

Breathtaking for a moment, the man calls out to Ajas again.

So while I was there, there was force in my hand holding the man's weapon mace because I felt instinctual surprise at how Ajas was doing?

Did Ajas also feel how such a man was, calm down and look at his work buddies in front of him.

But the only thing that seems calm is the appearance.

Maybe the guy in front of you is one of Ray and Ilse's guys, too? And that's what I suspect.

In the first place, I was turned to guard in the Trento Forest because of the Alliance's strong demands.

The original rewards are good, and you can also expect additional rewards from felling trees.

It was too conspicuous to say no, being held up by the guild for such a request.

(But as far as I can tell today... maybe the fact that you brought me a request was a trap in itself. Then, even in the guild, you must think you're doing a lot of research on me)

Though upset, I expected Ajas to be pretty sure about the area.

In fact, when I negotiated with Kenny so he could turn Ajas here, I'm sure he was deeply suspicious, but still he wasn't really sure that Ajas was Ilse's enemy.

The face of Ajas in the memory of the tattoo and Ilse.

Those two were the basis, but if tattoos alone, we can think of them as the same tattoos, and I don't necessarily still remember firmly the face of revenge I saw five years ago.

... Most of all, at the time those two were on the set, I thought from Ray's point of view it would be half definitive...

Either way, it was in the earlier exchange that Ajas was truly certain that he was the enemy of Ilse.

Beyond realizing it, Ajas had no reason to doubt the adventurers who received this request at the same time as himself.

"Oh, bad. More than I thought I'd do with the goblins because of this forest. Thanks to you, I left a little blood on my head"

"Hey, are you sure you're okay? That's unusual. I can't believe Ajas is dealing with Goblins."

To what Ajas looked like, the man gently pulls his strength out of his hand, which was holding the mace.

Until now, there have been several raids in the Trento Forest.

But most of the people who came here were goblins, and there was nothing so clumsy about it.

The man has also seen the battle of Ajas many times, and I guess that's why he wondered when he saw Ajas clung to the goblins.

"Oh, I'm feeling a little better.... I'm sorry, but staying like this can also result in pulling the other guys' legs. If it doesn't seem to be a problem without me, I'm sorry, but can I go home with this today?

"What? Dude, are you really not feeling well?... Well, I'm not that busy here, so I wouldn't mind. Shouldn't I tell Mr. Lugluno for once?

"Oh, I will. I'm really glad I'm working here."

Ajas, who says so, is sincerely happy with his job as escort.

In fact, if he had worked at the construction site where he was building a new wall, he wouldn't be able to imitate things like going home, although not very much.

It is a guilm that is working on additional construction, because the busiest place is, naturally, the construction site.

You wouldn't normally admit that easily if they asked you to let me go home because I'm a little sick in a place like that.

... Most of all, if you seem to be unnecessarily late for other work because of your ill health, it would be different.

Either way, Ajas tells the man so, he walks through the Trento woods looking for Luglno.

With the Goblin raid earlier, it's not that hard to find Luglno.

But... Ajas stops moving the moment he sees Luglno.

Because there was Ray and Ilse on Luglno's side.

Could it be that you're saying something to Luglno about yourself?

If you think so, you can't even afford to talk to Luglno.

(Don't say anything, you better disappear)

If you're a normal adventurer, you can't imitate that.

But Ajas already understands that Ray knows who he is.

You won't be able to work as an adventurer any more than you are.

It's not just this guild.

Ajas' name was probably known due to a communications network linking the Alliance to the Alliance.

Maybe the likeness of sketches will spread.

Beyond that, I decide that I won't even have to bother to say no to Luglno here, and I'll be right behind the scene.

You can't use a carriage, but you still can't walk or run to the guilds.

(Should we head directly to Abu Ero?... No, you can't, the base is in the Guild, so you need to go back to the Guild to get ready to dazzle your whereabouts. Besides, I'm not leaving those two behind.)

Sometimes I can't keep the other women I've secured.

I am currently in a loaner borrowed from the organization, but I can't forget to collect you.

Maybe we should leave it to our people? I don't think so, Ajas, but it's also possible that Ray, Ilse, or whoever seems to be behind them will look for the room they're staying in...

Of course, anything that might be evidence around here is going to be hidden.

But maybe there's something left like a clue, and given that, you should still take the women with you when Ajas escapes.

(No, even with the help of Slam's organization if we take the women out in the first place, it really stands out. If I do, should I get stuck? Whether it is necessary to return to the inn as soon as possible in order to discuss the area)

Whimpering on the inside, Ajas looks up several times... at the sun, which is pouring down summer and intense sunlight, and things like blue skies, entrance clouds, etc.

Even though it is abominable to call the sky good weather because I am scratching sweat for interacting with the Rays, fighting goblins, and most importantly, running like this, it was Seto who was bigger than that.

If it is a griffon that is possible to fly, isn't it also possible to follow yourself from the sky?

Because there was such a fear - I wouldn't admit it in person - that there was.

… it is correct.

In fact, even now, Seto was tracking Ajas from the sky.

But that purpose is not pursuing as Ajas thinks it is. It's just a pursuit.

If Ajas is going to escape in this situation, that is likely where Ajas is based.

Of course he didn't head straight to the base and could have disappeared.

If I tried to do that, Seto planned to secure it directly...... considering that, I guess I still had some luck with Ajas because I didn't get caught now.

It should be noted that even though Seto is tracking Ajas from above, the reason Ajas was unable to find Seto's appearance is simply at the altitude where Seto is located.

If you were flying at an altitude of about ten meters, Ajas wouldn't have had a hard time finding Seto either.

But Seto was flying a hundred meters of altitude, as usual.

Even if the adventurer is more physically capable than a normal human being, it is impossible to find a ceto flying at an altitude of 100 m.

No, some might have been possible in some cases, but at least not to Ajas. That was impossible.

Ajas, who doesn't even know he's being tailed, continues to run even and eventually arrives in the Guild.

By the time I saw the front gate, I had a loose running speed and a look on my face that looked sick.

I guess I figured it would be best to do that because I came back originally saying that I was not feeling well.

Most importantly, it will soon be known that he has returned without authorization beyond saying anything to Lugurno.

But Ajas thought it would be fine if he could do something about it for now.

That's how when you finish the process of entering the guild, you go straight to the guild… not to the inn where you are based.

Naturally, Seto was firmly confirming how Ajas was doing from above.

When he confirms that Ajas has entered the inn, Seto monitors if Ajas does not escape from the inn somewhere while flying straight over it.

Most of all, if Ajas escapes from the basement of the inn, or moves through a roofed place that cannot be seen from the sky, he will not be seen from Seto.

Either way, Seto was alert to the surroundings as he flew through the sky, while continuing to monitor the inn.

"Ha..."

Ajas, who was finally able to return to the inn to rest assured, falls over the bed exhaling in relief.

Of course, I know I can't afford to do this forever, but I still slipped through a lot of nerves coming back to this inn with the thought of when Ray might attack me.

"If I could, I wouldn't have wanted to come back here."

The only reason I whine is because if they look for this inn, there might be some evidence that Ajas forgot about it.

But given that there was no respite for time, it was honest that I still had to come back to this inn.

"Anyway, I need to do something as soon as I can... which is not that much I can do right now"

If Ajas is coming to Gilm alone, he's still coming with two people, Rebejeff and Haston.

Of course, they are supposed to be faceless in appearance, but they are actually tasked with the task of collecting women together.

Beyond that, I can't imitate that I'm the only one who escapes the scene without telling them anything.

Not to mention, I've been with Rebejeff and Haston for over five years.

Think that far...... Ajas remembers the first woman he encountered in five years earlier.

(That time... we were on our way to meet up with Rebejeff and Haston, weren't we? And then I needed a little money... oh, yeah. Yeah, I remember)

That's what I think, and I get out of bed sometimes my tiredness has largely healed where I remember Ilse's face.

"In the meantime, whatever you're getting ready for, you're not going to let me go out and buy it. Then I need someone to buy me a lot of things."

The inn also has a choreographer's child who knows nothing about himself.

With a child like that, it's not hard to talk about buying the kind of food you need after you leave the guild for now.

"Food for three...... no, just the minimum here, should I buy the rest at Abu Ero or Subrusta? If I could, I wouldn't really want to stop by."

The original plan was to close the deal with the organization behind the slums as soon as possible, and the missing minute of women were going to take them away in Abu Ero, Sabursta, or any other village, city, or city they stopped on their way.

However, such a lengthy imitation is not possible in the present circumstances.

At least if you imitate like taking a woman away in a city like Abu Ero or Subrusta close to Gilm, it's not strange that Ray comes while you're doing that.

"Griffon or something, that's against the rules. And I'm talking about rare species."

No matter how much Ajas and the others travel on the ground, it's not a hard story to find for a flying Griffon.

Not to mention dangerous imitations such as off the streets, which Griffon will soon find you after.

Whatever you do, it will work against Ajas by the time its speed of travel is definitive.

Ajas can't hide his frustration with that.

Most of all, I don't think I can beat Ray without Griffon...

I am only a Rank D Adventurer.

With Rebejeff and Huston, you might be able to beat Rank C... or Rank B Adventurers as well, but Ray isn't just a Rank B Adventurer, he's an alias Rank B Adventurer.

Anyway, all we can do for Ajas is not fight, more than we can decide to lose ourselves at the point of battle.

Ajas was troubled by one person in the room trying to find a way to do it.
