Legend

Ray glances at a man unconscious with a death-size blade poked at him with a cold gaze.

So, next thing you know, look around.

Already there, not a single guard who showed up to defeat the Rays still stands.

Some are dead, some are just unconscious... but nowhere was the figure of those who were thinking of doing something about the Rays.

"Ray, it's time to go. If we stay here, we'll fight again."

Ray nods small at the marina's words.

"Oh. If you go inside the underground facility, there's such a fancy battle over there... No, looks like you can do it"

If the Rays are just mud, that's all you have to do to dispatch a few handlers.

But you wouldn't even think Jaya could do anything about sending in a few more people than it was the Rays who broke into the underground facility.

That should naturally give you the maximum fighting power, and when it comes to Jaya's maximum fighting power, it would naturally be a giant.

And if the giant were to break out, it was only natural that the damage would be commensurate.

"Right.... Nevertheless, why keep the man alive?

Ray opens his mouth as he shakes off Mirage's full body and shakes off the blood that was attached to his death-sized blade as well to Elaine, who asks him as he blows the blood that was attached to it.

"For once, you'd need some information on the underground facility, wouldn't you? Of course, I don't have time to listen to that, so I'm gonna take him."

"... can you trust me?

Elaine's gaze is directed at a man who is unconscious in front of Ray.

I'm sure he's more of a Jaya elite than he is positioned on this occasion.

But just because you're elite doesn't mean you have information on an underground facility.

Above all, there was also the question of whether we would speak voluntarily to the person who had raided us.

"Maybe you'll be okay. If I didn't tell you, I'd know best what would happen.... than that, if you stay here forever, reinforcements are likely to come again. Then we'll be fighting again, so we're just going inside.... Seto, I'll take care of this place!

"Gru!"

To Ray's words, Seto rattles high.

Originally, Jaya didn't have the power to fly, and Mejougo didn't have the same kind of connections.

It was Ray's decision that there was absolutely nothing wrong with leaving Ceto here who could fly more than that.

The underground facility will have as much space as the giants can afford to act, so Seto will also be able to act adequately.

But I wanted to avoid as much as possible that after the Rays entered the underground facility, Jaya would send additional troops here, and that force would also come into the underground facility and be sandwiched from the front and back.

That's why we decided to leave our backs to Seto, who has absolute trust.

"All right, let's go."

Never let this place pass. Glimpsing Seto, Ray takes the collar of a man who is unconscious and drags him straight to the building that leads him to the underground facility.

Only Ray, who is not that tall, drags his hips and legs.

Still around fainting, I guess I was afraid of Ray's blow to the exterior.

... Most of all, if it was too late to open my mouth for another second, I'd have been shown up close to having my neck amputated, so I guess I can't help it either.

"... Hey, this. I knew there were other entrances and exits, right?

The building itself, which leads to the underground facility, is quite large.

That is the entrance that is normally big enough for a carriage to get inside, and the passage is in line with it.

But still, every other face nods to what Marina says.

If there is a giant in the underground facility, naturally we need to get it out there.

It didn't even seem to Ray that the giants who marched out when they defeated the main force of the resistance left this building in the heart of Mejougo...

If you imitate that, you're sure to be rumored about giants.

But little was known about the giant at present.

That's what I've only heard about the resistance and its associates.

Of course it doesn't mean they're not really known.

"I guess. Probably a sparsely populated place among mejougos...... no, still a little conspicuous. Then it's probably not strange to have an underground facility exit or anything outside Mejougo. It's hard to find that."

If there was a path leading from outside Mejougo to an underground facility, that's why we didn't even have to bother raiding like this.

But it is also an unmistakable fact that we are in the present situation because we do not know that.

"Right. I said something nasty. … let's move on."

Nodding at the marina's words, the Rays move on.

The building itself is not that big.

Naturally, there were ramps that followed the basement as soon as they entered the building.

I mean, I guess the only building the Rays came into was built to hide the ramp leading down to the basement.

"... a ramp? Now's a good time, but you're going to have a lot of trouble getting home."

I think about when I go up this ramp, Ray with a sick look on my face.

That feeling goes down the ramp in the open too...

"Ouch! Whoa, what the hell is this?

Unexpectedly, I hear voices like that.

Ray didn't have to think to figure out whose voice came out of his mouth.

Are you awake?

"Huh? Wow!... Huh!?

Ray, who once stopped his leg, throws the man he was dragging abusively.

The man thrown out on the ramp probably didn't know where he was for a moment or what the situation was.

Still, only Jaya's elite was quick to ascertain his current situation.

And when he checks his current situation, the man opens his mouth, frightened by fear.

"Well, this is on the way to the underground facility, okay?

"Oh, it's a beautiful slope."

If we are going down such a ramp, would horses carrying carriages be injured?

He was a ray with such doubts, but now he decides he can't afford to talk like that, and he turns his gaze to the man without saying anything more.

It was a silent gaze, but what is being urged by it? I'm not the man who doesn't get that.

No, if I were to say I don't get it here, etc., no doubt the man understood that he would be killed.

"Ko, if you go all the way down this ramp, there's a huge door. Beyond that door is what we should call the core of this mejougo. However, naturally it takes a lot of formalities to get inside, and there are many soldiers in the escort"

"It looks like reinforcements didn't come from this building when we broke out on the ground?

Make sure the man opened his mouth and Ray calls out to the man as he goes down the ramp again.

Elaine and the others around her just watched what happened to such a man.

He told me that if I acted in a far-fetched manner, I could kill him right away.

Men also often bought hookers in Mejougo when they were off duty, but this much beauty turned their gaze on them... and still never meant they were excited.

In the first place, under the circumstances, my life is in danger.

That's the only way I can afford to turn my consciousness to stories like holding a woman.

"Essentially, it's the best of us who are guarding the door. Of course I'm one of the best, but I think you can call them the best of the best."

He was a man who would tell me that he was useful because he was elite in the dark, but Ray goes on to say the words without the way he cared about it at all.

"So how many of those elites in the elite are there in total?

"No, that's..."

To Ray's question, the man gets stuck in words.

Ray takes a step forward in the way such a man looks.

That's all...... it was really just an act, but still it must have become too much of a threat for a man.

Open your mouth like you panicked.

"And I don't know! The information around here is kept secret by us too! They're in a higher position than we are!

"... heh. For example, can I assume that the information you have is not that important?

Say something far-fetched here and you'll be killed. At least try not to lie, and then you have to say something that will attract the interest of the Rays.

I manage to open my mouth while being attacked by such fear.

"I don't know the details of the people who are the gatekeepers, but I do know a lot about the passage beyond that door. This is true! Definitely know that!

What will Elaine and the others do to a man who looks desperate? and I'm going to turn my gaze.

"... you can keep it like this for now. If there's a trap or something, this guy's just gonna get hooked."

"Hey! You gonna get me ahead of this!?

"Of course not. If you don't like that, that's fine with you?

The man who was told to kill him if he couldn't use it in the dark nodded that there was no immediate problem.

In the sense of combat power, he was a man with no particular problems for the Rays... but nevertheless there was something surprising about his ability to perceive danger.

(As a trap, what did you care?

I think so, Ray, but this aisle is the aisle through which the carriage carrying the whore passes.

That would be the same at the end of the place where there is a gate.

If you think about setting a trap on purpose in such a place... that was probably no.

(Well, maybe not now)

We're attacking ourselves, so it's no surprise we're activating the trap to respond to it.

"Nevertheless, it has happened before, but I wonder if this country is good at building underground facilities."

The marina squeaks, wary of what's going on around her.

I can also imagine Ray clouding the word as before, but perhaps that's about Unchu.

I guess I don't give the name Unchu because I'm wary of guys.

"Right. It was a bit of a surprise over there, too.... I see it. You're here."

As I descend the ramp with words back to the marina, I eventually see the gate.

Seeing a gate of considerable size, what Ray imagined was naturally about the giant.

(Seems like I won't let you out of here when I let the giant out, but doesn't that mean I can't let you out?... Then if you break through that gate, there could be giants waiting for you there,)

With that in mind, I notice that there are about ten people near the gate.

The group made of humans and beasts seemed to be waiting for the Rays walking down the slopes.

No, it doesn't look like it, I guess it's actually waiting for the Rays.

"It's them, they're the gatekeepers. Strong, they are."

It was naturally Vihera who the man told him as he looked at the gatekeepers and reacted first when he heard it.

"Are you strong?

"Oh. As I said earlier, those guys are the elite in the elite"

"Hmm.... Ah, Ray"

To the man's words, Vihera speaks to Ray as if she noticed something.

It was Ray who sees Vihera in that voice, but follows that gaze...... eventually he understands why Vihera has been calling.

Because at the end of that gaze... some of the gatekeepers looked like an oak woman.

Definitely someone Ray encountered before when he infiltrated Mejougo.

(No, because you can't tell the orcs from each other... oh, nothing. You weren't a pig beast man or a smart orc, you were human)

With that in mind, Ray understands what Vihella wants to say.

Only Vihera, who originally preferred to fight, would have cared to hear from Ray about a woman who looked like an oak.

And the person just showed up here.

If so, it would be natural to want to fight here.

And besides women like Oak, there are many others.

"Okay, I'll take care of him.... What about the other guys?

"Right. I'd like to take it down if I could, but it might take a while."

Vihera said so with a smile on her face, but taking the trouble in this case doesn't mean taking the trouble to fight an oak-like woman.

It's simply a matter of Vihella's style of combat being specialized against individuals.

"Then I'll get out. Do you mind?

"... if Elaine comes out, I feel like that's about it. I can't help it."

From what Vihella has seen, a woman like Oak stands at the top of the list among the gatekeepers.

Of course there are possibilities for something that each of us has hidden... powers, moves, magic items, weapons... but still overall, an oak-like woman still seemed the strongest.

"Well, I'll be there."

Vihera rushes downhill as the fierce carnivore grins.

Elaine follows Mirage in her hand, as she follows such a vihella.

Rays didn't have to worry about dropping them off.
