"Hey, wait! Wait!"

Ajas screams as he manages to avoid the blow Ilse has unleashed.

It's hard to move your body with the impact of a Death Size blow, and if your body moves, it's harder to escape than having Ray, his people, and intelligence units all around you.

I know that for Ajas too, but that's why I couldn't think of taking a decent shot at Ilse.

"Oh, why are you running away? Here, take my blade more firmly!

Blade to be wielded again.

Ajas manages to circumvent it, but it was somewhat unexpected to Ajas that Ilse would not hesitate to wave the blade at herself.

Of course, Ajas knows that he is the enemy of Ilse's family.

But still, I didn't even think Ajas would wave this blade down lightly when a young woman like Ilse tried to take revenge.

If Ajas hadn't dodged, no doubt Ilse's blade would have severed his own ear... if he had done poorly, he would have missed his aim and sustained a fatal injury to his head.

Just to see that, Ajas really dodges Ilse's blow reflexively.

"Ajas!"

Rebejeff, who was watching such ajas, also voices reflexively.

But in the current situation, where Ray is sticking the tip of the spear of dusk, we can't even move on to something.

If you try to act on something, that's what your eartips will stab at your body.

If he just gets stabbed, Rebejeff doesn't go ahead on his own either... but he doesn't feel disgusted.

But if you get stabbed, you naturally get damaged.

In that case, that would definitely pull your leg when you escape this scene.

More than that, it was natural to want to avoid unnecessary damage wherever possible.

"I'm saying you're like a righteous ally worrying about your people, but you're one of Ajas. Considering all the bad things we've been through, not very much, but you can't say that, can you?

Rebejeff, worried about Ajas, squeals like Ray, who is poking a spear of dusk.

If anyone knows anything from the side, what's happening here is taking one man hostage and being unilaterally attacked by one woman in a situation where the other can't get a hand or a leg.

Which is bad, if you don't know anything about the prerequisite information, you would definitely say the Rays are bad.

"I know that. But you better not worry about your friends!

Ray frowns at how Rebejeff screams.

"Would you say that if your own people could get hurt, have you ever sinned scattered?... You're selfish."

With that word, Ray stores the death size he had in his right hand in the mistering, then goes on to put that right hand inside the dragon robe.

The moment I saw Ray move like that, Rebejeff had a bad feeling... but to put it into words, it was too late.

In the hand Ray put out of his dragon robe, something is gripping.

Rebejeff didn't know, but that was Ray's magic item, Nebra's eyes.

It has the characteristic of disappearing after a little time.

But to use it as a weapon in battle, it was enough.

"Ajas, avoid it!

What Ray is after. Rebejeff, who understood it, shouted, but when he shouted so, Ray's right hand had already played the wax.

Flying as he slashed and tore the air, he scratches a muscle on Ajas' left cheek.

The wound, called a scratch, was to an extent unsupported, but it was a huge mistake for Ajas, who had managed to avoid an attack from Ilse, to stop the movement even for a moment.

Normally, an attack could have been avoided without any particular problem, even with that degree of scratching.

But now because of the Death Size attack, I'm not feeling very well, but I'm not feeling all right.

As a result, the momentum-wielded Ilse dagger easily amputates Ajas' right ear.

"Wow!"

It's more than painful, it's hot.

That feeling strikes Ajas' right ear.

It was ajas holding his right ear to his feet, but there was no feeling of his right ear that he was used to there, only a feeling of null blood.

From the hand held down, the blood falls zero.

Even under the moonlight, Ajas can see his right ear falling to the ground.

Still, the scream that went up out of Ajas' mouth was short, I guess, because that's all I was ready for.

"And my left ear..."

"That's it, Ilse"

Ilse finally succeeded in snatching her right ear, followed by her left ear... that's what I thought, but there was a voice to stop it.

Ilse also knows whose voice that is. I know, but... I yell at someone who interrupts me from waving a dagger at the family vendetta I've been chasing for years.

"Why, Mr. Ray!

"Calm down. I thought you said so in advance. Ajas tells me what happened."

"It's..."

In Ray's words, Ilse also returns to me from a state of extreme excitement.

Yes, in the end, Ajas will have his life, so I can ask him what happened before then.

"Excuse me, I'm a little out of my mind."

A little? And I was watching it, surrounding intelligence squeaking inside.

Seriously, just because Ilse looked like she deserved to call herself beautiful, the way she looked earlier, like she was crazy about blood, was totally pulling off the men in the intelligence unit.

It is not uncommon for intelligence men to kill people because of the nature of their work.

But...... there was a difference in force between doing it yourself and doing it by a beauty like Ilse.

With no apparent notice of the face-to-face feelings of such an intelligence unit, Ray puts his hand where his right ear was and opens his mouth toward Ajas, who is trying to stop the blood flowing from it.

"Well, shall I ask you a question again? Why... did you imitate kidnapping as many as three women in a carriage? Where were you taking those women?

"Oh, that's..."

Normally, Ajas wouldn't have anything to ear for those words either.

But now I actually have Ilse aiming for my life in front of me, and my body hardly moves in Ray's attack.

Not to mention that there is nothing we can do about those who are overwhelmingly stronger than ourselves surrounding us.

(At least the salvation is that Haston has been treated and Rebejeff has not been attacked)

I knew it, but Ilse's purpose was Ajas.

Therefore, it was salvation for Ajas that he had not been handed by two other people besides himself.... Haston has had his right knee amputated and has suffered several wounds in subsequent battles, but fortunately he is now being treated.

(but I need to say nothing here... given Ray's character, he could give me a light one Ilse)

I also thought about rolling Ray in smoke just at the tip of my mouth, but if Ray is the only one, there are still a lot of other people here.

Beyond that, there's nothing the rest of us can do about Ray.

On the contrary, there was also the possibility that the worst future awaited for cheating on Ray.

What can I do to help myself and my people?

Ajas, thinking so, opens his mouth as he endures pain in his right ear.

"Okay! I'll tell you why, and I'll tell you who instructed me. So, me and Rebejeff, you have to guarantee the safety of Haston!

Most of those on the spot turn their gaze to Ray for the words.

Precisely what I want to kill Ajas is only Ilse, and Ray is just helping out with that... but still, I guess the presence of Ray meant that he had just the power to get the attention around him.

Ray, with such a gaze on him, thinks a little about what to do...... eventually he opens his mouth, looking at Ajas.

"Right. Depending on your information, I can think about it."

Ilse, who was listening to Ray who told him so, can be stopped by Büne, who is right on the side, even if he tries to say something reflexively toward Ray.

"Is that true?

"Oh.... so? What are you doing imitating me like this? That carriage is packed with the women you took away, isn't it?

"That's right. I'm wearing a slave collar, so there's nothing to make a scene with.... it was the instructions from the top that gathered the women. It's not our idea."

Lighter than Ray expected, Ajas explains the situation.

When it comes to Ajas, which is more important for the organization he currently belongs to or his old buddy Rebejeff or Haston, the answer was already decided from the beginning.

If it's to help the two of us, I don't think it's enough to sell the organization.

"From above the organization? So, what's that organization thinking? No way, you're just forcing a woman away so far and letting her run a whorehouse...... right?

"No, the women I took away work at the whorehouse. That's for sure. It's not a joke or anything!

Ajas, who spoke of working in a whorehouse, strongly affirms the moment he sees Ray's gaze pointed at Ilse.

But the intensity of Ray's gaze remains the same.

"There must be plenty of whores out there who want to be whores."

Ray's words are never lies.

A whore is also a profession she can do alone, and even a woman without any skill can work.

Of course there are women in the world who don't admit whores, but it is also true that the crime of women being attacked is suppressed because there are whores.

The profession of whore is also quick for those living in slums to leave the slam.

If you come all the way to places like Gilm to get a whore like that to force a woman away... I don't normally believe you.

Even less, Ray couldn't believe it.

But look at Ray like that, and still Ajas doesn't change his words.

"I'm not lying. I don't know what you're thinking up there, but I'm pretty sure the woman who took you over there works as a whore."

To the words of Ajas, who says so, Ray tilts his neck with a strong gaze unchanged.

(It's probably true what Ajas is saying about saying so far in this situation. But... why bother tailoring the woman you took away to a whore?

That's what I don't know.

As Ray said, whoever wants to be a whore can basically be a whore without a problem.

Of course, not all of us can be whores because we can't speak well for any reason, or because we're women who don't want to see it from a man and hold it, and many people can't take customers from being whores.

Still, coming all the way to a dangerous place like Gilm, and doing business with the organization behind it... is clearly not an ordinary thing.

Normally, I was certain there was some other reason besides being a whore.

"You really don't know anything more than that?

"Oh, I don't know why"

A glance at Ajas, who says so, Ray turns his gaze to the intelligence unit.

It was a gaze of inquiry as to whether he knew anything about it, but all the intelligence units shook their heads beside each other.

Having decided that he wouldn't know anything about the situation, Ray thought a little...... move on to the next question.

"Where is the home of the organization that ordered you to do this?

This, to be honest, is not that much needed information for Ray.

But even if it wasn't necessary for Ray, it was something he wanted to know for the intelligence forces.

This is how we became hostile to the Guild by the time it was clear, because the organization is a presence that you don't mind recognizing as an enemy.

Ajas answers such Ray's question without hesitation.

"It's Rossi, the capital of Labourina."

"... what?

What came out of Ajas' mouth was a completely unexpected word.

I'm guessing that place called Rossi is definitely in the capital of one country more than the word capital comes out.

But the capital of the Kingdom of Mireana is named Carfili, never Rossi.

"Labourina!? Why would that country imitate that?

Ray didn't get it, but I guess Elaine, who was listening, sounded familiar to the name. Rarely, he looks at Ajas with a look he should call stunning.

Ray looks at the others in such a way as to Elaine.

The marina, vihella and intelligence forces face each other with a stunned look, and Bühne doesn't know what he's thinking with the same faceless expression.

Ilse stares at Ajas with a murderous caged gaze.

"So, I don't know what country Labourina is... what kind of country is it?

"It is one of the small countries adjacent to this country and at the same time a subordinate of the Kingdom of Mireana"

That's what Elaine said to Ray.
