Legend

"... heh. Bandit hunting. Sounds a little funny. You didn't have a strong opponent for the bandits you fought today because, after all, those bandits just got here, right? Then you can't deny there's a strong bandit, can you?

While eating Ray's baked pizza, Vihera puts her expectations of the struggle in her eyes and squeals.

To such a vihella, the marina, returning from negotiations with Dusker, smiles as she drinks cold fruit water.

"Right. I fought today with a bandit who didn't even cover up. With that in mind, some of the bandits we couldn't find today could be the kind of people Vihella would expect... well, you can't deny it."

That was the marina I would tell you, but if you were told if there were actually bandits that would satisfy Vihella, you would lean your neck.

Of course, Vihera can enjoy fighting her weaker opponents than herself.

But in order to really enjoy fighting from the bottom of your heart, you need the right opponent.

That's like Ray and Elaine.

... Note that no marina is added there because the marina is a spiritual wizard and the weapon used is the existence of a completely rear guard: a bow.

The same is true of Ray in the sense of a wizard, but in Ray's case he is basically what he should call a magic warrior whose main battle is with a weapon, and in that sense he deserves to be Vihera's opponent.

Of course, if Marina is going to deal with the right adventurers around there, she has the strength to do whatever she wants with her bare hands.

But... what Vihella wants is not that much of an opponent.

"Hmm, nevertheless... Lord Dusker is a thought out, too. In the first place, wouldn't Subrusta be a city ruled by a neutral nobleman? Despite that, you're gonna get your hands on that one?

"Apparently, the damage caused by the bandits is getting a little less stylish.... Well, think about it, naturally. If you come to Gilm now, you can definitely make money. Besides, there's a lot of people coming, so there's little chance of monsters attacking us in the streets."

But... and once I've accumulated the words, Marina continues to explain.

"For a bandit, that's a good opponent, isn't it? Especially when summer is over and about to fall. In that case, it will be winter soon. Before that happens, the merchants need to go to Guild as much as they can, and the bandits want to make as much money as possible now."

For that reason, they've been getting more bandit damage lately.

That's what Marina closes the word with.

"I see. If that's the case, can't you even be convinced? I don't hate bandit hunting either, and I don't mind."

While eating the pizza on Gamelion meat that I tailored last year, when I say fall, it's Gamelion season, Ray can think of.

(I wonder what will happen to this year's Gamelion hunt.... No, more guys than usual try gamelion hunting slightly, but it doesn't change that way in the end?

Show yourself not so far from the Guild from autumn to winter, Gamelion.

It seems to be a monster on which the rabbit is based, but its giant, sharp fangs, and ears are bladed, and its tail swings like a whip. Sometimes it's carnivorous, and it's a pretty vicious monster.

Rank C monsters, but because they have meat that tastes better than rank like oak, many in the Guild put their energy into gamelion hunting in the fall.

It's a very appreciated prey for adventurers anxious about funding over the winter because it sells and sells high, and it's very tasty to eat on its own, and then has quite a giant.... if only I had the strength to defeat Gamelion, I would talk about it.

At least for the majority of the adventurers who are coming looking for work on the additions that are currently taking place in Guild, they will be out of hand.

(If you do poorly, you may challenge your lack of strength knowingly, or in some cases it may be used as a throwaway pawn.... Around here, even the guild will of course be thinking about countermeasures, so I don't think there's anything I'd bother to worry about)

I end up eating gamelion pizza thinking that way.

"Anyway, I'm just going to get rid of the work that's accumulating a little bit tomorrow and crusade the bandits the day after tomorrow. Is that what you want?

Everyone on the spot, including Ray, nods at the marina inquiry like asking for confirmation.

"It's been a long time since I've been on the battlefield with Master Elaine...... I'm looking forward to it"

Among other things, it is Arla who is particularly looking forward to the bandit crusade.

When Elaine was acting with the Rays, she talked in a pair of orbs, like every night, but still being in a position to be touched directly, I guess, is huge.

I couldn't be happier because I could act with Elaine like that.

(Well, in Ara's case, if Elaine is on her side, she'll be able to stop it immediately even if she runs wild, so is there a problem?)

Everyone here knows how much Ara has a crush on Elaine.

... Especially in Ray's case, when we first met Elaine, we didn't know if it touched Arla's mind or stirred up a sense of crisis that stopped us from moving in sight of each other, but we even have an experience of being suddenly attacked.

Of course we have already settled on the matter, and both Ara and Ray consider each other friends.

Either way, Ray squeals his concerns sideways at Arla, who is happy to be able to fight with Elaine.

"When that happens, did today's bandit hunt get a little quicker?

Yes, I went around Subrusta on my way to Gilm today, a bandit hunt.

As a result, three bandits were killed - a few were left to get information and spread it out - but they did.

Ray, known as the Bandit Eaters and feared by the Bandits, came to attack us.

Make him think so, refrain from the bandits' activities, and retreat from around Awabara Subrusta.

It was a bandit hunt carried out for that purpose, but doing so at the request of Dusker would mean letting such bandits escape.

Vihera returns her words to Ray, who grumbles just a little sorry for that.

"Don't you have to worry about that much? If you have any confidence in your arms, you don't have to be aggressive in attacking the merchant squad… I don't think there's anything like escaping from around Subrusta."

"In the case of Vihela, aren't you simply happy to lose your weak enemies?

"... I won't deny that."

Vihera answers Marina's words softly out of sight.

If you try Vihella, bandits who should be called miscellaneous fish don't like to fight.

But if you're right in front of me, there's no reason to keep the existence of a bandit, and we need to fight it.

Think of it that way, weak bandits get away from themselves around Subrusta, and only confident bandits remain in their arms... and so forth is probably their favorite development.

"Bandits are bandits. Just because you're weak, there's a good chance that if you imitate what you let get away with here, there 'll be damage to the perimeter. In order not to, we should take them all down. … it may be too late to say that."

Three groups of bandits hunted during today's day, so the bandits who survived from it must have already taken some action.

And I don't know what judgment the surviving bandits will make and go into action... but that information was definitely supposed to be passed on to the other bandits.

With real luck from the Rays, there was no chance that the surviving bandits could get away from the scene immediately and escape from around Subrusta so the other bandits wouldn't find them... but it would be hard to expect a convenient development that far.

"I think it will take some time for the bandits to carry out the treasures they've been accumulating. Besides, if you're also a bunch of bandits traveling with such luggage, it's definitely something that stands out. There's a good chance they'll find you in the surrounding villages, in the city guards, in the merchants, in the adventurers."

"If you say so... yes, is it? But if it does, there's going to be another commotion."

As a bandit hunter, the Rays are easily defeating the bandits.

But that's only because they're the Rays.

Without more than a certain strength, it was possible that that would be the number of bandits to lose, and it was possible that they would get away with it.

With that in mind, today's bandit hunt was still an extra thing...... I can't help but conclude that.

Most importantly, it was only after he came back to Gilm that he was asked to crusade the bandits.

Even if the actions of the Rays are extra than they are, you won't have to worry about being blamed.

In fact, if you try the merchants and adventurers passing around Subrusta, it's definitely good news that there will be fewer bandits.

"Whatever you do, it's not going to change what happened anymore in the end. Besides, it's not tomorrow, it's the day after, right? Either way, things will have moved somewhat."

"... then why don't you do it tomorrow? It's a little hoarded up at work, but it won't be particularly problematic to have more than a day."

It is the marina that has decided to go crusading bandits the day after tomorrow.

So even if I said I'd be there soon, it would have been possible to adjust the schedule without any problems if I had had had some meetings with Dusker.

To the marina who tells him so, but Ray shakes his neck to the side.

"No, I made up my mind once, and let's not do anything that would change that for our convenience"

"Are you sure? I think I can adjust without a problem."

Ray nods back again to the marina asking with the meaning of confirmation.

Forcing me to change the story I once decided here sometimes means Marina says she's fine, but doesn't know what's actually going to happen.

Of course I wouldn't do anything that would put Dusker at that disadvantage to the Rays, but I had the feeling that even adjusting it would be bad enough to let a busy Dusker do an extra job.

"I think it would be a little quicker if we thought of the damage merchants would take just tomorrow"

It was, of course, Vihera who told him that.

Sometimes that means you're worried about the merchants, but more than that, you still have a great desire to fight a strong opponent.

If you really want to fight a strong opponent, you should be fighting Ray and Elaine in battle drills that take place every morning.

I guess that's what you want to fight other faces for, if you keep fighting people like Ray and Elaine, you really want to fight other opponents too...

I mean, I just eat treats like every day, so sometimes I want to try other dishes...... something like that.

Others will tell you it's a luxury, but it's also quite a real concern if you try to make it a vihela.

Of course, you don't get tired of fighting Ray and Elaine, because that's the standard that your body might remember.

Needless to say, Ray and Elaine definitely have the strength to be at the top of the list in this world.

Of course not the strongest in the world, not one enemy... but still, there should have been an overwhelming few stronger than Ray and Elaine.

If you're going to feel like fighting an opponent like that is the standard, as a combat fanatic Vihera, you're going to have more suffering ahead than fun.

In that sense, Vihera had to fight various opponents and reset sensory criteria.

"For once, even Subrusta doesn't have an adventurer asking for a bandit crusade? Besides, the merchants usually wear escorts."

"I know what Ray's trying to say... but there's a deputy over there. They're getting a lot of money from bandits up there, too."

"Isn't that why we should do something about the one above Subrusta rather than do something about the bandit?

"I guess I should do that if I could. Because of all the fences, it's not that easy."

Tell Ray's words as Marina gives him a complicated look.

The fact that bandits are all around Subrusta is naturally a negative factor for Subrusta's deputies… and also for the nobility who entrusted them with deputies.

But still, the fact that the suburbsta doesn't move significantly meant that there is something more than that negative factor.

"You're so boring."

That's what Vihella said, dissolving in the summer night air and disappearing.
