Legend

Running down the basement, one carriage.

It was one of Lutus' escorts who was doing that. And there is an escort on the platform besides him who is one of them.

And on the carriage are two escorts: Ray, Elaine, Marina, Vihera, Büne, Lutus and Lutus.

It's pretty tough for eight people to ride a carriage than it's not that big of a thing.

Most importantly, all Lutus' escorts are acting differently from the cave than they were able to ride.

It had been about thirty minutes since Ray had stored the research material collected by the marina's instructions in the mistering.

Rays out of the cave, to join the neutral mission heading from the kingdom of Mireana... and Lutus and the others were waving in a carriage down the underground road leading to the nest of giants in Mejougo in anticipation of an assassin coming from Jaya if they remained alone.

"So, what are you guys gonna do now? Honestly, it doesn't make much sense for you to come with us, does it?

In the carriage, Ray asks Lutus as he drinks the fruit water removed from the mistering.

None other than Ray...... that's what Lutus was also gripped with a cup of fruit water in his hand.

Lutus, who was somehow thirsty, opens his mouth as he moisturizes his throat with fruit water.

"Let me be honest with you, I want you to act with Ray and the others."

For Lutus, that's definitely the most likely choice you'll ever make to survive.

But Ray shakes his head sideways.

"Footprints."

Lutus has some fighting power, but still the Rays are inferior, even compared to Bühne.

Acting with such lutus was nothing but a foothold, as Ray had spoken.

Lutus also has an escort.

I wanted to avoid acting with all that number of people, even if I could as Ray.

"Don't tell me the truth lightly...... but okay? My presence would be beneficial to the Kingdom of Mireana, wouldn't it?

If it was also true that it was a foothold, it was also a definite fact that Lutus was a beneficial person in his mouth.

I'm pretty sure you know a lot more than just being one of Jaya's successor candidates than you can find out from the outside.

In that sense, Ray couldn't deny that Lutus was a beneficial person.

"Isn't there something else you don't need to act with all the time? That's what deposits it with the messengers from the kingdom of Mireana."

"Uh... is that the easiest thing to do"

That's what Ray gave back to Vihella's words, okay? and gaze at Lutus.

Lutus thought a little and eventually nodded.

"Okay. I can't say more than I can push this one. And... the messengers are going to treat me more politely than the Rays."

The word was intended.

But still, as Lutus said, it is undoubtedly the envoy of the Kingdom of Mireana who most highly appreciates the value of Lutus in the present situation.

Of course, it's more of a problem in terms of safety than being with the Rays.

But about that, I have an escort, and a mission sent to the country to which the organization hostile to Gilm belongs.

Naturally, in order to protect himself, it is likely that he has also chosen someone with arms to escort him.

"Young!"

One of the escorts, who was accidentally on the carriage's podium, calls to Lutus.

Enemy attack for a second? I also thought it was a lutus, but there is no such thing as nervousness in that voice.

With just a little relief, open your mouth.

"What's up!?

"There seems to be a few guys coming this way from the other side, what do you want to do?

"Oh, hey! Isn't that an enemy!?

If they were coming from the nest of giants they were about to go to in this situation, they would certainly have made no mistake in the perception of the enemy first.

Nonetheless, I wondered why I didn't look alert... when I was mistaken with them in the carriage, it was obvious that I wasn't hostile to them when I saw that they didn't have any weapons or anything.

Those who were going down the tunnel, when they saw the carriage coming, why now? and had a look of doubt, though.

If you take them, you naturally think that the carriage that Ray and the others are riding belongs to Jaya more than they are traveling here, which is why I doubt it.

I can't get out of the giant's nest right now.

... I guess you can go outside precisely, but such imitation will undoubtedly be attacked by Seto, who is rampaging in the sky, and most importantly, there are whores and resistances waiting to be freed from being brainwashed.

Some prostitutes in particular are former adventurers, former soldiers… in some cases former knights, and a few are attacking the soldiers of Jaya.

Besides, defeated soldiers are deprived of their weapons, so if you take the time, that's all you'll be at a disadvantage to Jaya.

Not very, but it's hard to say it's safe out there. Currently, it could go away at any rate if it stays caged in a giant's nest.

When that happens, I guess it's not strange to think so, trying to use a hidden passage to get out of Mejougo.

In fact, even in the caves there were disturbances such as giant runoff, and the damage was enormous.

Still, it would be some sort of ironic consequence to be safer than Mejougo, who is currently in a progression and in great confusion.

"You're getting a lot of people."

"... the giant's nest, right? When we looked, there was hardly anyone there. I guess he was hiding."

To Ray's whining, Vihera shudders half, half impressed and so on.

I belong to Jaya, so I have absolutely nothing to favor.

But just because you don't like them doesn't mean you don't approve of their judgment.

"Right. Well, somehow we had a fancy fight before we went into the giant's nest. Given that, you mean you had enough time to hide?... some of them were like sleeping awesome."

"Right.... but you didn't have to use this place to get back to Mejougo, did you? If we move out of the woods..."

"If there's any confusion in Mejougo, it'll take a lot of work to get inside. Not to mention it's hard to get around in a carriage with a lot of people. If it's just the Jayans, you can go straight into the carriage."

Elaine's words to tell that were not jokes or anything, but how she thought so from the bottom of her heart.

If you're a person belonging to Jaya, he says there's no problem whatsoever with killing him.

In those words, Lutus and the escorts are reminded once again that Elaine in front of them... no, all the Rays, including Elaine, are angry about Jaya.

(Surrender first, you were right. The first time I behaved amicably, they decided they could get information about Jaya from us, and they decided to keep us alive.... If he had behaved hostilely, he would definitely have died. In my case, I'm in a position)

Think about that by forgetting to even make an expression on Elaine's condition, as usual.

But still, I breathe relief when I don't have to be killed by three people, Elaine, Marina and Vihera, who can't forgive me for what I'm doing in Mejougo, especially as a woman.

(I was lucky to have a face-to-face with Ray about the bandit)

It was an order close to harassment from someone who wasn't comfortable with Lutus, but thanks to that request I'm still alive.

The odd edge, Lutus is happy and amused.

"Young man, it's time for a giant's nest!

The voice of the guard of your platform echoes around you.

Everyone's expression tightened slightly on the words.

The Giant's Nest is now, and we don't know exactly what's going on with Mejougo.

I can predict, but that's only a prediction.

If so, it is certain that we should be able to respond immediately if anything unforeseen happens.

That's what I thought...

"No body?

Near where there was a hidden door...... we arrive from the cave where Rays and the others were sent reinforcements just earlier, but not one of the bodies has rolled in there.

As a testament, of course, to the fact that it was not a dream that there was a battle here, there are traces of blood, weapons, fragments of protective equipment on the ground… and even a few severed fingers have fallen.

But only corpses are nowhere.

The number of soldiers who died here should not have been to the extent of ten or so.

That's why it's so uncomfortable not to have a body at all.

"Didn't you just drop by because you're in the way of the guys who came through here?

"I can understand what Lutus is trying to say... do you think I can imitate that to the people who are running away in a hurry?

To Ray's words, Lutus gets stuck in words.

In fact, the wrong people were in quite a hurry when they were traveling in carriages.

That's as if you're trying to get away from Mejougo at all.

If such people were asked if they had time to clean up all the bodies that were rolling here...... it would be a little difficult.

"Then I knew it wasn't those gods?

"That would most likely be it"

Elaine agrees with the words of Vihella.

It was also understandable that Ray was more likely to do so with the half-extinguishing method.

Though it was doubtful what was the reason for him to go so far.

(Actually, were you unexpectedly fellowship or something? As far as that goes, that's kind of hard to think about)

The companionship between your men and your soldiers did not seem so good to Ray.

But I'll change my mind soon.

In the first place, the fact that there are no bodies on the ground to move like this is nothing inconvenient for the Rays.

Then you won't have to think about what's going on around here anymore.

(Most of all, in fact, there's still a giant survivor out there, and if that's rampant and devoured the corpse with his appetite... then he'll need to deal with it once and for all)

But as far as the neighborhood is concerned, you don't have to worry about it.

Get out of the parked carriage, guarding your surroundings for once.

Even if the five senses aren't as sharp as Ray's... that's what normal people would still be able to smell the blood in here.

Although Ray's honest thought was that he didn't want to get along very well with someone who felt comfortable with the smell he could smell.

"Let's go."

Everyone nods at Ray's words as he tells them with a slight frown under his hood.

That's how everyone who got out of the carriage went into the giant's nest.

Everyone was wary of their surroundings, but nothing like being raided by giants in particular… or by Jaya humans.

But the moment I go inside a room that was supposed to have black crystals, I get a strong blood odor.

If you turned your gaze to that smelly one, there were tons of bodies stacked there.

"You're the ones who've raided this place.... When it comes to bringing it in here and collecting it over there, did your man do it?

While I think so, Ray is subtly unconvinced.

A corpse is very heavy. It would be even worse if those soldiers were working out and wearing more gear.

It is still doubtful that your body was transported... and with the help of those who were lucky enough not to die in battle.

Because as far as Ray could see, he didn't seem to be so prestigious.

(Well, you can decide it's not the giant's fault more than it hasn't been eaten. Then don't you need to worry about that much now? Now anyway, it would be a prerequisite to rendezvous with Seto, who would be out of the giant's nest and rampaging around near here)

I decided so and strayed from my gaze from the pile of corpses...... for a moment I turned my gaze to where the black crystal was, but naturally there is nothing there now.

Also, Lutus stared at the place where the black crystal was.

Unlike Ray, it's not surprising that Lutus thinks a lot about an organization called Jaya.

And in jars, black crystals were an important substitute in many ways.

It wouldn't be strange if Lutus had some worrying thoughts.

But Ray, who can't kill time here forever, opens his mouth even though he thinks it's a little bad.

"Lutus, it's time to go. I can't stay here forever."

"Oh, I know"

Lutus responds to Ray's words lighter than he expected.

It was with a little surprise that the Rays began to move up the giant's nest, still deciding it would be helpful in the present circumstances.
