For Ray and Ilse, he finishes the barn exchange with Meran, which can only be described as unpleasant, and leaves the barn.
"Excuse me, Mr. Ray. I got caught up in an extra story."
That's how Ilse bows her head to Ray.
In this case, if Ilse hadn't been involved, Melanie wouldn't have spoken.
Because he understands it, Ilse bowed her head.
"Never mind. I don't know how you and Melanie would have run into each other any time soon."
I'm pretty sure Melan doesn't like revenge. But if Ilse hadn't acted with Ray, wouldn't it have happened that Meran wouldn't have allowed him to take revenge on Ilse that far?
That was Ray's honest thoughts on getting out of the tavern... and talking to Melan.
I didn't know if Melane herself was aware, but there was something dangerous about Melane's gaze at me.
Of course, the reason for that rugged gaze would be that you're helping Ilse get revenge.
But at the same time...... it is huge that Ray is definitely in a close relationship with Vihera and Vihera that Melan fell in love with at first sight.
"Really? That would make me feel a little more comfortable."
To Ray's words, Ilse smiles just a little...... eventually tightens that look.
"Mr. Ray, I've wasted my time here, but it's time to go"
"Oh, right. Seto will be waiting.... it would be easier if they let out their tails."
We exchange words with each other, and we move on inside the guild.
Seto, at an altitude of 100 m, is difficult to find if it is normal.
But even inferior to Seto, it wasn't a difficult story to find Seto in Ray, who had a sharper five senses than a normal human being.
That also meant that Seto, who at the same time has a sharper five senses than Ray, could find Ray's appearance more easily.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrr!"
With that chirping, Seto comes down to earth with his wings winged.
It is something you will never be able to do if you are a regular guild, and act because you can freely come and go from above during the construction of the guild.
Those who heard Seto roar around Ray and Ilse marvel at what happened for a moment.
But as soon as he understands that the ringing is familiar, he immediately returns to his daily life.
Those who come to Gilm in search of work on the additions will see such surrounding reactions and be convinced that there will be no particular problem… or compelling themselves to convince themselves, and this one will return to work again.
Never minding what was going on around her, Ray was stroking Seto, who had come down to earth.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr, grrr"
Seto caressed by Ray and throated happily.
Ilse was watching one of those with one of them one step back.
Then a few minutes later, after stroking, Ray opens his mouth towards Seto.
"So, Seto. Do you have any idea where Ajas escaped?
"Gru!"
Leave it to me, and Seto, who rattled, goes down the road to guide Ray and Ilse as they go.
And if Ajas was gone from where he escaped while he was in contact with himself like this...? Even with the thought, Ray had the certainty that it would come to light even if Ajas escaped in the present situation, and that Seto would not be difficult to follow.
That's how Seto guided me and arrived at an inn...
"Here..."
The murmuring Ray's voice has a strong color of discouragement.
Naturally, this inn was a place from the marina - precisely through Dusker, from Egg - that was in Ajas' information he told me about.
Ray's hope would have been best if Ajas had made his way around the safe house that he probably would have prepared.
(There's no safe house or anything like that, is there? Actually, if it was a remodel or something, it could have been... as far as that attitude goes, it wouldn't have)
The appearance was an ajas in such a way as a competent and well-deserved adventurer, but from what I was hearing about Ilse, it never looked like it had been revamped.
If that were the case, there wouldn't have been anything like throwing the job out on the way and disappearing in the first place.
(Can't stand the guilt consciousness anymore, or what?... you don't)
Seeing how Ajas was when he was talking to Ilse, it was obvious that he didn't feel something like guilt awareness.
Beyond that, there's still some reason why he was showing his superficial personality around... it's Ray's guess that it can't be that he's not up to something, and I'm even half sure.
In other words, it would have been absolutely necessary for a location to serve as a base for the execution of what it was up to.
(No way, actually, there's no place like that to plan or execute in an inn, is there?... or not)
Hide your vegan personality and deceive your surroundings. Naturally, whatever you do, you won't do anything to break your cautious attitude.
It's easier for Ray to get evidence of this kind of behavior in the inn right away.
"Well, this is how I got to the inn... but if you haven't shown me the movement yet, don't get a little hard"
"Right.... Personally, I'd like to continue into the inn if I could. There's no reason for that."
"Calm down. Maybe you can't help it with Melanie, but she's getting a little more belligerent."
Ray didn't know he was going to have this dialogue either... and I don't think so.
In the first place, I… Ray is known for his very belligerent character.
It doesn't exactly mean it's belligerent for everyone, it means it's belligerent for hostile opponents.
Once hostile, whether the opponent is noble or not, or someone else with a social status, he or she does not hesitate to attack.
It would also be great to have the power to actually just accomplish it.
He tells Ray to be careful because he's getting belligerent like that, so if anyone was listening, I was sure he'd be surprised.
"Anyway, there's got to be a base beyond here for sure. If I can, I want to crush that.... for Ilse, who wants revenge, you might think it's too much."
"No."
In response to Ray's words, Ilse instantly shook her head to the side to utter a word of denial.
Ray embarrassed me when I was being belligerent, and I guess I calmed down, even if it was somewhat.
Most of all, even if you're calm, naturally that doesn't erase your vengeance on Ajas.
"I don't know what Ajas is up to, but you'll regret crushing it in front of you."
Heh heh, and Ilse telling him that with a grin, the atmosphere was clearly changing compared to when we first met.
(Is this also, possibly, a dark fallen? Well, I'm pretty sure one incident with Melan caused it.... you do a nasty imitation)
If the Ajas case was a mistake of some kind, and I was actually correcting it... or a mistake, I don't know what would happen.
While he understands it's impossible first, Ray thinks so.
"Right. Whatever you're up to, over there... yeah? Who?"
Two, see who walks toward him, and Ray asks.
The Rays are currently in the shadows of the building.
Besides, Seto can afford to hide as much space as he can, so it's not like he'll ever find a place.
"Mr. Ray, it's been a while."
That's what you tell him, a man with his head down.
But Ray doesn't know who the man is, he just tilts his neck.
(Who? It feels like a face I saw somewhere, but I don't think so...)
Still, there were times when a man didn't feel hostile from me, and I guess he decided he wasn't an enemy for the time being.
Ray opens his mouth to the man in front of him.
"Who?
"Ahhh. Was it forgotten after all? I thought that might not be the case from the way things are now. I belonged to a meadow wolf once, Dar."
"... oh, I should have said that"
I remember the first time I came into contact with a meadow wolf, I felt like there was a man in front of me among its members.
"More than anything you seem to have remembered. So, what's Mr. Ray doing here? No, well, I guess there's one more reason than being here."
A man's gaze is directed from Rays to the inn... where Ajas will be.
When I saw how it went, Ray also knew what the man was trying to say.
No, at the point where you're Egg's man, you can say that you were able to anticipate that.
Originally, Ray has Dasker check on Ajas through the marina.
Naturally, the Dusker asked would take the story to the incumbent egg, and given that, it's not hard to think about the current situation.
"Don't be.... So, what are you doing here? No way, you didn't just come to say hi, did you?
When I arrived at a place where I could see how Ajas Inn was doing, Egg's men came by chance... so much so that I could believe that Ray is not a Rakuten family.
Dar nods back at how Ray looks like that.
"Yes. Actually, I need to talk to Mr. Ray for a second.... was that you, Mr. Ilse? It has something to do with her."
To Dar's words, is Ilse mine too? and a surprised look on his face.
Even if I had something to do, it was because I thought it would be Ray.
But Dar nods back at Ilse's words.
"Yes, I thought it might be interesting for both of you."
If I heard Dar say so, it was obvious what we needed to talk about.
But still, Ray couldn't immediately snort at Dar's words.
"I think I know, but I can't leave here right now. I think you understand why.
"Yeah, I know. So instead of Mr. Ray and the others, I'm going to leave some of them here. So what do you think? Of course, we'll let you know as soon as there's any movement."
"... I see"
If they keep an eye on the inn on their behalf, that's fine.
Having so decided, Ray turns his gaze to his neighbor Ilse.
To Ray's gaze like that, Ilse gets lost.
The revenge I've been looking for for for years is right there.
If so, I would like to observe my accommodation here so that I can move as soon as something happens.
It would be natural for Ilse to think so.
But as if he saw through the inside of such an Ilse... no, actually, he sees through, and Dar opens his mouth.
"Mr. Ilse, I think you should listen to this story if you can. That will surely make it easier to get revenge."
"... is that true?
Ilse groans slightly suspiciously.
It is not particularly surprising that the person in front of you is known that his aim is hatred.
Sometimes we talk about hatred and so on in places where there are people, so I guess it's natural around here.
Besides, there is the thought that if Ray finds out that Ilse's purpose is hatred more than he trusts, he won't do an extra imitation.... At least I didn't think I would imitate what they would say if I didn't hate you like Melanie did.
"Yeah. Definitely.... or we don't thank Ray and Ilse enough."
"What? Appreciation?
For a moment Ray wonders why those words came out... but he understands for sure that Ajas was up to something.
"Yeah. Actually, he... he and his two buddies, to be exact, did a nasty imitation. It was the disconnect that was discovered that looked around the person named Ajas."
"Uh... I see"
Ray recalls gathering information from the marina on things like Dusker and Egg.
"You seem to understand.... We were supposed to clean this up on our own..."
Dar hangs up his words there once and smiles...... no, he smiles bitterly.
That's exactly the kind of grin you can only call a bitter smile.
We were supposed to clean up the Eggs' intelligence unit this time around.
But if we try to clean up on our own more poorly than Ray is getting involved there, there's a chance we'll bump into Ray.
That is only a possibility, not an absolute one. Not absolutely... If there's a slight chance you might bump into Ray, you can't overlook the danger.
It was for such reasons that Dar showed up here.
