Legend

"Mmm."

Against a man groaning in pain, Büne takes out a new long needle.

of an organization called Jaya, which, as a matter of course, had brought more weapons this time than a surprise attack on an important base as well.

I also bring more long needles to use as a restraint this time than usual.

In addition, although it is not possible to imitate the long needle used once in battle, there is also the advantage that the long needle can be recovered and used again in such a case.

For that reason, it was Büne who tried to take out a new long needle again...

"That's it. That's it."

I can stop Ray from grabbing my hand.

Why? and Beaune tilting her little neck with no expression.

The other three had been stopped by Ray, but they couldn't have stopped themselves.

With that in mind...... Ray still opens his mouth in such a way that his emotions are not exposed from Ray's point of view.

"So is Bühne. We're gonna pull the information out of this, so if I kill you here, it doesn't make sense, does it? So bear with me now."

So once the word stopped, Ray reaches for the long needle with the tip sticking out through the man's arm.

"Ghahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

I guess I just touched it a little and the man will have a severe pain to run.

Or it's possible that you're actually in pain because of your appearance, even if it doesn't hurt.

Whatever it is, pick the tip of the needle... and pull it out all at once.

I imitated not picking the tip part of the long needle and pulling it out all at once, so the pain a man would feel would be severe this time for real.

"Oh, I'm sorry"

That's what Ray tells me, looking like he doesn't think it's any bad at all.

"Yes, it hurts... it hurts..."

As a researcher, I guess I won't go outside.

Not to mention things like a man getting hurt...... that's what I guess I've only had about minor injuries such as a few failures and cutting my hands during experiments or hitting a table with my legs or hands in my everyday life.

That's why it caused severe pain to a man whose arm was pierced with a long needle, which can only be called unknown.

But... there is no sympathy whatsoever in the eyes of Ray or Elaine and the others who see the man holding down the pierced right arm with his left hand.

"As a result of your research, more people have been harmed. And it hurts more. You wouldn't have to make that much noise with all this pain, would you?

To Ray, who tells him with a refreshing grin, the man has creepy thoughts as if he had preceded him in his unobtrusive existence.

"Pfft, yeah. I just wanted to let you know how the women suffered because of that black crystal and the collar of slaves..."

A marina with a full smile no less than Ray.

Sometimes I was pushing my anger to kill him, or he was emitting some awesome color.

Other faces, somewhat different, have a similar look to the marina.

The only thing is that only Beaune has the same faceless expression.

... I just threw a long needle with that faceless expression earlier, so there's no way I can feel safe about that for a guy.

"Hey, what... what the hell are you doing!

"Don't you see? Well, I had predicted from previous stories. Either way, we're intruders into this underground facility. I mean, he's hostile to Jaya. You think we're gonna treat you like that... friendlily with Jaya people?

If a man had been kidnapped and forced to engage in research, Ray would not have imitated it to do harm, nor would he have done enough to treat the wounds made by Büne's long needle using potions.

But the man in front of Ray, even though he was undoubtedly kidnapped at first, has since cooperated with Jaya from himself.

For Ray... and for the others, if you ask me if I can forgive a man, that's definitely no.

"Hey, hey..."

"Apparently, you haven't realized what you're in yet."

Ray seeps just a little twitch into the man's appearance.

Take the potion out of the mistering, even though it seems troublesome.

... although the potion removed is not a high quality substitute that Ray is accumulating, only to the extent that it is normally sold around there.

"Become!? Item Box!?

A man screams as if he forgot the pain in his right arm.

Looking at it, Ray opens his mouth again.

"Regardless of my case, you need to ask a lot of questions. First of all, the black crystal you were working on, but can you tell me where it is? And the facilities for giving birth to giants and the places where the born giants are waiting."

"... that's... whatever the giant establishment is, can you give the black crystal a break somehow? That black crystal is something I've been studying."

"Because of that black crystal, the collar of slaves is working."

"It's..."

To Ray's words, the man tries to say something back, but he is silenced with a sharp gaze from the women behind him.

If you say anything here, it's because I felt like the severe pain in my right arm was going to multiply and hit me.

The decision would have been correct.

If I were forced to say it back here, it is likely that I would have had the worst possible outcome.

Against the silent man, Ray opens his mouth again urging him to go ahead.

"In the meantime, do you want to clean up the giants? So, where's the room to give birth to a giant?

"If this is the first basement floor, it's on the third basement floor. The pregnant whore is then gathered upstairs in the basement, but it has already been decided that she will give birth to a giant more than she got pregnant with that slave collar on this mejougo. Unable to overturn it."

Giri, and.

The sound of eating someone's teeth all over the room.

Having deliberately listened to it and confirmed that the man had begun to speak, Ray opens the lid of a bottle of potion in his hand and violently swings it on the man's right arm.

Because it is a cheap potion, this is not the only way to completely heal it, but it can still block the wound to the extent that the long needle has penetrated.

... all that matters is that it only blocks the wound and doesn't heal to the wound in the penetrated arm.

It will take a while for the wounds around it to heal well as well.

"Hey."

Vihera gives a grumpy look to the use of potions.

No, it's not just Vihera. Elaine and Marina, and she didn't put her emotions on her expression, but she seemed dissatisfied with Ray's behavior, including Büne.

Ray, too, might have been dissatisfied if he were in the same position as Elaine and the others.

But nothing. Ray didn't treat a man's injury with a mercy heart.

"If you say so, you can use a long needle again. In the same place."

I tell her as if she was nothing, not particularly how she was empowered, not how nervous she was.

But the man who watched it up close could understand that it was no joke or threat because it was a mild tone.

I mean it, and if I don't answer the other question, I can easily imagine that I will relentlessly have the same severe pain as earlier... and in the same place.

With such a ray in front of him, the man must keep his words firmly in his mouth.

I can't tell a lie, I can't keep my silence... that's how I understood it.

Ray opens his mouth again, deciding that the man understood his words well.

"I found out about the giant's room. Next, then. Right...... is the only magic item I end up using in Jaya is a black crystal and a slave collar? I thought Jaya possessed a lot of magic items."

"I also make magic items for once. A large number of researchers and alchemists were gathered to study black crystals and slave collars. I gathered corners, so I thought I'd make some magic items to flush behind me."

Ray is relieved by the word that he also makes magic items.

I originally came here to retaliate against this organization called Jaya because Dusker has asked me to retaliate for giving Gilm a little... one of the rewards was a contract that the magic items I got could be Ray's.

That is why Ray also came all the way to a small country called the Labourina Country.

… but now that I've come to that small country and found out what's going on there, the priorities have changed slightly in the lay.

Still, Jaya doesn't care, the very purpose of getting a magic item just hasn't changed, and the man's words were a relief to Ray.

"So where is that magic item?

"They keep it in several warehouses, and they keep it in warehouses located outside of this underground facility. But unfortunately, there are only a few warehouses I know of."

He has a cooperative attitude towards Jaya, but still ends up being just the person he was forcefully brought to.

Beyond that, I guess it's a decision that we can't trust that much yet, in the future anyway.

Still, it obviously helps more than nothing.

"Where is that warehouse?

"One in three adjacent rooms from this room, one in a room six miles from it and its warehouse"

"Right.... What magic items do you have?

"Basically, there are a lot of consumables. I have no idea what kind of magic item you're craving."

To the words, Ray gave a slightly dissatisfied look.

All I want is a magic item to use.

Thinking about the kind of demon sword, the kind of hidden weapon, and the seto cage, it would be best to have a magic tent... or something like that?

But you should have thought that magic items like that wouldn't be the first to listen to you right now.

(Other... is that the kind of warehouse that only executives and stuff can use has the magic items that I want, or is there simply no such magic items? That's a subtle part)

Normally, I don't think an organization in a small country like the Labourina State has the kind of magic items Ray wants.

But there is something called a golden tree, Mejougo, so that's how much gold we collect.

With that money, it wouldn't be hard to buy unless that was an extra expensive magic item.

Given the circumstances around here, maybe... I don't think so.

Most importantly, I didn't think I'd bother to keep the magic items I bought at the warehouse, regardless of the magic items I made in the organization.

"I see. Do we need to look for things about the warehouse for now?... I can't expect much. So, what about the slave collar?

I have heard from the man who was protecting the underground facility that the collar of the slave is also kept in the warehouse.

But I wanted to get that information from the man in front of me if I could, more than just not being asked what warehouse it was actually in.

But...... such an optimistic hope of Ray has already been denied in the man's words.

It was only natural to expect that the collar of slaves would not have been so easily placed in the warehouse around it.

Beyond that, the kind of collar of slaves did not seem so readily available.

(Do you want to destroy all enemies in this underground facility? That way I think I can make some time...... no, considering the possibility that there is a hidden warehouse or something, is that a bit impossible)

In the end, I decided that if I ran into someone ahead of me, I should ask them where they had a warehouse of magic items...... and go to the last question.

Last but not least, the biggest question.

"So where's the black crystal?

Yes, the biggest cause of this one, the black crystal.

Ray asks again where the presence is that he has asked me to spare him that much if the man in front of him could.

"Oh no... you would answer other questions!? Then the black crystal..."

Oh, and.

Ray understands why we were so cooperative.

I guess that's what I was thinking about giving you other information and trying to get you to give me a break about the black crystals I'm interested in.

"No. Without the black crystal in the first place, there wouldn't have been such a commotion. There is no better reason to leave it alone than to be....... Bühne"

"Mmm."

I just called the name, but Büne finds out what Ray expects from him and gently hands Ray a long needle.

I guess I remembered the pain pierced by the long needle.

The man shouted his right arm... holding down the spot where the first long needle that Büne threw penetrated, turning his complexion pale.
