Legend

"I heard there were bandits gathering around here, could that be you?

That said, he was someone in a position that seemed to lead the soldiers approaching.

Are you in your mid-thirties?

There was a tiny cunning color in his eyes, obviously looking down at the Rays.

Seeing a man like that, what an adventurer other than Ray felt was not frustration...... but the emotion he deserved to call Ningro Inspiration.

At least I can't take such a great attitude with Ray and Seto. That's why I understand.

"Now, you are bandits who cause harm to Subrusta. May I think so?

"That's right! These guys were just hunting in the woods, attacking us without question!

One of the first responders to the questioned word against the Rays was one of the captured bandits.

Then, as if to agree with the bandit's voice, the other bandits also claim that they were captured even though they did nothing.

To the words of such bandits, the man who leads the soldier is astonished.

"No way! What is a bunch of illegal slave traders like capturing innocent people! This, you need to capture them all and ask them what's going on!

"Yes, help me! If we stay like this, we're not guilty, but we're sold as slaves!

Another bandit screams, as if riding the words of such a man.

Aren't the other bandits that were caught helping, maybe? You have the thought that, all in all, we are innocent, to an adventurer in the woods... no, I complain that I was forced to be captured by an illegal slaver.

(I knew it was going to be troublesome)

When I saw these soldiers, Ray, who stunningly hit what I expected would be a hassle, looks up at the high blue sky everywhere asking me to do something about it.

Though summer is coming to an end, the sun is still asserting itself strongly enough during the day.

The wind flowing from the woods settles the frustration that was only slightly in the rays and opens its mouth.

"Shut up."

The one word, if not particularly strong, was not yelled at.

Still, the wonder and the words echo around us, silencing the bandits who were so noisy that they were just forced to get caught.

"Hmm, apparently, as far as you're concerned, you lead the slave traders."

A man leading a guard calls out to Ray with an abusive grin.

Even if he were an adventurer, he wouldn't be able to go against his word. Without even hiding the attitude that I assume.

"Slave trader? What are you talking about? We're adventurers. I don't know what to say to myself, but I didn't think there was a guy who didn't know me, even though he lives around here. Hey, Seto?

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr"

To Ray's words, Seto, stroked in the head, rings his throat.

The act itself is only common to Seto.

However, I guess it wasn't funny that there was someone trying to be hostile to Ray to see.

Not a sweet honking as usual, but a honking as if to intimidate.

Hearing such a chirp, the man who has hung provocative words on Ray instinctively retreats after a few steps and finally returns to me after hitting the guard who was behind him.

... If it weren't for the guards behind us at this time, I probably wouldn't have been able to stand under Seto's pressure and would have worn buttocks.

In that sense, this man should have thanked the guards.

But when the man glanced at the guard instead of telling him to stay out of his way, he looked frightened - I was actually frightened by instinct - to hide the ugliness, glaring at Ray.

In fact, I stared at Ray instead of Seto, who was frightened, because the presence of Seto, no matter how obedient, was in the end a monster, and I didn't want to stimulate him any more because I didn't know when it was going to hit me.

Compared to such a ceto, Ray is only human. … In fact, an artificial human being made with a copy of the technology possessed by Zeppael Gate is accurate, but the man can't tell that.

"Wow, are you going to threaten me!?

"Yeah? Threaten? What makes you talk like that? Seto just agreed to my word, didn't he? In fact, I didn't attack you. Do you feel threatened by a dog or cat barking?

Coward frightened by dogs and cats.

The man, darkened so, opens his mouth with his face bright red for being scratched with shame.

"You!? It's you! Who do you think I am! You're not in a good position to talk like that!

"Even if they say so. Unfortunately, I don't know your name. Well, apparently you don't know my name, so I'll tell you what, I'm Ray. For once, he has a deep red alias."

"Huh, what does an alias look great? But let me compliment you for naming me from myself before you heard my name. I'm Talania. He serves on behalf of Sabursta."

The man who named himself Talania turns his gaze in such a way as to say his name and position and think the Rays are going to leave.

But Ray, whose gaze was turned, looked at Tarania without looking particularly concerned.

Even if the original opponent is a nobleman, if he rubs it, it's a person named Ray who has nothing to do with it.

Anyway, nobility would be surprised if Talania, in the position of deputy seconded by nobility... came up with the name of his subordinate... let alone leave.

What do you want from us, Tarania, the deputy?

That, despite his name, he was abandoned as Talania... and that, too, Tarania's face is dyed red again for having been dealt such a response by a back-length opponent like Ray.

"Hey, what are you going to do! I am in the immediate position of deputy! That's what an adventurer looks like… understand your position!

"Even if they say so. I'm an adventurer who belongs to Gilm in the first place, and I've never stopped by Subrusta, but for now, it doesn't matter today. If so, what do you want me to do because Talania came out here?

Talania is too angry to utter any more words to Ray's words naturally.

Until now, in Subrusta, my words, as direct reports of the deputy, had absolute power.

Even though it was, the man in front of me had a completely flat attitude, and that was more unpleasant than anything else.

"Hey, you! At the time of the adventurer…"

"Heh? Did you? Now you're just like that? I see. Do the lords of Subrusta and their deputies recognize the adventurer as once and for all? You taught me a good thing."

Hik, and.

Talanian cheeks cramping when I heard Ray say it.

Whatever you really thought, if you imitated it directly into your mouth, it could be the person's … and in some cases, an official view for your boss.

Not to mention that Talania has spoken so much of herself as a deputy's direct report.

Now I wish the person I said was really just an adventurer, but the person I said this time is Ray, an adventurer with an alias.

Objectively, Tarania coughs small, understanding that she mouthed something rather unsavory.

"No, you seem to have said a little too much, too. But you're bad, too. The older ones are respectful, aren't they?

"Even so. You can respect them if you want to..."

That was the same as saying, in the dark...... no, half-directly Talania is not a respectable opponent.

He was Tarania, who blushed again at the word, but now he silences himself without doing anything to utter a far-fetched word.

Ray opens his mouth again as he looks at Talania like that.

"Well, shall we get back to it? I think you guys are the ones who came here to carry the bandits we captured, can I ask you why you're here with us?

"Bandit? What are you talking about? I told you earlier, didn't I? He said he was here to capture illegal slavers."

Talania, who said so, has a sticky grin that can even be described with Nichari, as if she noticed something.

"Yes, I mean, you adventurers... that's what happens when you capture ordinary people, who are also adventurers with aliases but are not guilty of anything, as slaves?

To Talania's words, Ray turns his gaze to the bandits captured by the other adventurers.

We didn't do anything, we were forced to capture them when we were hunting in the woods. Those who claim so.

"... the average person? Is that it? I don't think that's possible."

"Huh!?

To Ray's words, Tarania gets stuck in words for a moment.

I guess that also understands that Talania can't look at the captured bandits and call them ordinary people.

But still, Tarania's position is to get the bandits to Ray... no, they couldn't have taken them.

(It doesn't taste good. Whatever reason you have to take the bandits back from them anyway. more so... is he the guy)

Talania's gaze is directed at some of those captured by the adventurers.

At the very least, they needed to be handed over here, and at the worst, they needed to seal their mouths.

We can't let them know we're connected.

(If you're the adventurers of Subrusta, give me anything I can reason for. More importantly, from Gilm... you do a nasty imitation)

One of the things that set this case up was Gilm... and perhaps... no, it was almost certainly Dusker, the central figure of the neutrals.

If such persons are assured of the bandits they have come to know and who should also be called witnesses to them, the only thing waiting is surely ruin.

If so, as Talania, I have no option of leaving here.

Even if it's like fighting adventurers in this place.

(There's no way you can beat the Gilm adventurer. I know that. But nothing. I don't need to win. If you seal their mouths, that's fine.)

Some of the guards Tarania brought in this time are mixed up with a few who use them as assassins.

In times of need, the adventurers and I rubbed it into the wind, while the adventurers were supposed to work.

In order to do this, I should have taken Ning Ro's provocation and brought him into battle, instead of leaving heavily according to the other word here anyway.

Of course, the best option was to have the bandits handed over without a fight, but we can't imitate that at the moment.

I praised myself for a few seconds that fighting is the last...... and the nearest worst option I could possibly avoid, but still I am competent around not getting out of hand, but I immediately cough up and open my tease.

"If you didn't unlawfully capture slaves... right. Will you hand over some of the men you caught there?"

"What? Why?

At some point...... really at some point, Ray is negotiating with Tarania in the form of a representative of the adventurers here, but none of the adventurers here are dissatisfied with that.

No, I don't know what you think in the depths of your mind, but at the moment, no one was expressing their dissatisfaction on the face.

Ning Ro, it would be an honest feeling to want to move away from this hot place after the negotiations are over soon.

... That's why I could never tolerate imitations that would deprive the bandits who were captured for their cause.

Negotiations continue in front of those adventurers.

"If you insist that you're not doing something illegal, we need to get some information here. Yeah, I'll tell you what, I can't admit that I'm just going to pass on the information I got there... because it could only be convenient for me to pass on to you."

"If I were to say that, I wouldn't believe the information that came out of the mouth of the guy you guys took?

"Hmm. You think my position is the same as that of an adventurer and a deputy direct reports?

"If that's what you mean, you can't trust the information Gilm's guards looked into, either? Or that you can't trust all the Gilm humans?

"It's..."

Smart imitation.

Yes, Tarania throws up in her heart.

It's already common sense that Gilm's guards are all set.

If Gilm's guards can't be trusted here, they'll taste a lot worse at a later date.

I don't know what to do... I heard voices abruptly thinking about it, not even being taken by bandits who are really connected to me.

"What the hell is this all about?

That's what I told her, a beautiful woman with golden hair, like the sunlight itself took shape...... Elaine.
