"Ma, wait! Wait for me! Please!"

Originally, I know you're a man used to threatening people on the strong side, but in a situation where a death-size blade is touching the back of your neck, you can't push through your strength as usual.

Because the sight of a lightly death-sized blade slashing and tearing apart a long sword was firmly burned in a man's eyes.

If it was meant to be, it would just attack the passing merchant squad... it was the same job as always as a bandit.

In fact, of the three carriages that were in the lead, the owner of the carriage shot him with a bow and succeeded in stopping the carriage from moving.

If the leading carriage is in such a situation, then, naturally, the rear carriage will also have to stop the carriage.

There were also several escort adventurers, but given the number of bandits led by the man, a small number of escorts could handle it.

... I'm glad that's it, but hopelessness came when I killed all my escorts and finally...

From there, that's what I couldn't afford to think about, and the bandits led by men lost their lives one after another.

Some were amputated by the sickle, others were twisted and lightly broken in the neck bones, shot with arrows… many were killed in no time, and if you notice, only one man is left on the verge of being hunted for the neck by Death Size.

It would also be natural to decide that you are not very but have no chance of winning and scream when you surrender.

When the blade of the sickle that was touching his neck the moment he did so, the man was helped...... and exhales in relief.

But whether a man really helped or not is the man in front of him...... Ray's mood gets involved.

That's what the man thinks...... Eventually, Ray opens his mouth as if he knew what the man was thinking.

"Shall I tell you your aside? And how many of you are there? If you don't lie about what's going on around here, you can keep it alive now."

"Ho, is that true? Is that true? You're not lying, are you?

The way a man in his thirties screams desperately at Ray in his mid-teens is even funny in a way.

But in the current situation, where his life was at stake, there was no room for a man to care about such a thing.

"Oh, I think you're going to leave it with the merchant and be sold to the slave trader."

"Huh!?... well, better yet than to die"

He was a man who breathed for a moment into Ray's words, but eventually confesses his place of hiding in a big way.

Also, hearing that the bandits are all here and there is no one in Azit, Ray leaves the marina to negotiate the treatment of the bandits and head to Azit with Relieu.

Only an adventurer with an alias, and Lelew didn't show any particular upset, even flying while hanging on Seto's feet.

"... now, why did you even bother following Relieu? All the income I earned from this request is ours, so you didn't have to follow me, did you? Wouldn't it have been easier to stay with the merchants?

Raising down in front of a cave where the bandits had been aside, Ray asks Lelew, who jumped off Seto's leg, which had also been grabbed.

As Ray said, I'm really talking about this now...... Lelew returns words to such Ray's words as he looks around.

"Nothing, especially for reasons like this. I'm just being honest with you."

Isn't it just something important to me after all?

I was Ray with that thought, but as far as how Lew is now, I guess he really decided he had nothing in particular to do with it.

Well, when I return the word briefly, I head straight into the cave.

Inside the cave, as the man earlier said, there was no doubt in the bandit's Azito.

Except you're such a country bandit.

The kind of magic items Ray secretly expected are, naturally, nowhere.

On the contrary, there is no such thing as a spear that Ray might be able to use to throw.

Ever since I got the most dusk spear, I've used regular spears to throw quite a bit less frequently.

There are still a lot of spears left in the mysteries that were to be disposed of in bulk, but the higher the number of bullets, the better.

(No, it's a spear, not a gun)

I was fishing in the cave wondering if there was anything, but in the end all I could find was some gold, silver, copper coins or a bag with wheat that probably remained taken from the merchants and wasn't even used for cooking.

Bags of wheat, in particular, are loaded in quite a few unwrought pieces, and with this you won't have trouble cooking with flour for a while? There is as much as I can think of.

Among the Rays, the marina cooks quite a bit.

Given that, the most valuable thing this time the bandits had would have been wheat.

Of course, with gold and silver coins, you can buy wheat, so it might be worth it eventually.

"There is no such thing as a hostage for now, is there? It's unlikely that weapons will help either."

With that being said, things like daggers, long swords and sticks are stored in mysteries one after the other.

The stick is reinforced with a lot of things, but it's basically made of wood, so I even held the thought that I could replace it with firewood.

When I went outside storing what was in Ajito, which was going to be gold, I was just grinning there as Relieu stroked Seto.

He was a laughing reliever such as happiness itself, but when he saw Ray come out of Azit, he immediately changed his expression.

(Uh... I see)

For the first time here, Ray understands why Raleigh acted with herself.

Basically, there are many women and children in the race of Seto enthusiasts, but it's not like there are never any adult men.

Particularly notable around here are people like stall owners.

Most importantly, if you try to be a stall owner, starting with skewers and bread, the sight of Seto eating food near his stall means a lot of people.

If Seto is eating, the people who want to love Seto... and when they see Seto eating delicious food, the passing guests buy a lot in the street.

It's not a guest panda, it's a guest set… or a customer griffon.

"... what is it?

"No, it's nothing. Apparently, Seto didn't have to get bored."

"Huh!?...... oh. I was free too, so I don't mind."

I couldn't delude myself into witnessing the sight I was playing with Seto, but since Ray didn't look like he was making fun of it, Lew answers that with relief.

Seeing as how that goes, isn't it possible that Lew took on this request from Dusker - precisely in return - because there was something about Seto? and Ray questions.

In fact, that prediction is not entirely wrong, and there is no doubt that Lew took this matter up immediately because of Seto.

He is undoubtedly totally fascinated by Seto's adorability, but with that in mind, a large adult like himself… it is also a disgrace to be known that a rank A adventurer with the alias disease wants to love Seto,.

That's what Lew really envisions.

There are those who love Seto, even if he is actually the kind of man who is older or stronger than Relieu.

But Lew can't accept it.

"Right. Seto, I'm glad you're playing."

"Gru!"

To Ray's words, Seto sounds his throat gladly.

Reliew, who understood that there was nothing like being made fun of for playing with Seto, only relieves him a little.

If I tried to lay it on Ray, I could see why they cooperated with me, even for such reasons, so I was relieved.

"So, was there anything good in Azito?

"Unfortunately, you didn't have what I'd expect. However, it was quite helpful in a food sense because there was a large quantity of wheat that I thought had been taken from the merchant"

"Hmm. Well, if it's wheat kind, you'll definitely buy it out if you have to. If Ray has an item box, you don't have to worry about weight or anything."

"Right. But I'm not going to sell it.... than that, I'm done with my errands, and I think it's time to go back, okay?

"Oh, I don't mind that."

Lelew nodded softly and headed with Ray to where Elaine and the others were waiting in Seto.

"Ah, Ray. And Lelew. That was fast."

"Really?

That's how Marina speaks to Ray as he descends from Seto's back.

Ray returned the word with doubts about that voice, probably because Ray and the rest of the merchants who helped him were no longer there.

If I tried to lay it down, it would have been easier not to have a conversation with a guy who led a bandit, such as a hassle to say thank you or a request to give him an escort nearby... Still, there's no way I could honestly snort even if they told me it was too soon, even though I don't already have a merchant squad.

"Yeah. More than that, it's time to leave this way. It's possible that animals and monsters will come because of the smell of blood."

"Right. Let's move fast."

That's unusual to say, Vihera.

Normally, it's not strange to think you might be able to fight a strong opponent and say you can stay here...... I guess having a mock fight with Lew at noon had a good impact.

That's what Vihera said, who seems to want to stay here the most, and the Rays get off the spot.

That is how we proceed towards the destination Goltz… Eventually the sun sets and it becomes night.

There is still quite a bit of heat during the day, but still sometimes it is autumn, and the sun is setting really fast.

As a result, Ray and the others will be in the wild...

"Wow, what's that?"

Looking inside Ray's retrieved magic tent, Lew looks surprised.

A magic tent is a fairly scarce magic item, but it doesn't mean that only a few exist in the world like an item box.

That would not have surprised me if I had seen an adventurer with an alias...

Unfortunately, it seems this was the first time Lew had seen a magic tent.

"Magic tent."

"No, I know that doesn't have to be said. Still, if you actually look at it this way, you'd be surprised."

"Is that what this is all about? So, let's talk about this now, what are we gonna do with Lew? We sleep in a magic tent."

If you were told you would sleep in a tent with me, you would normally imagine the colour glowing.

However, inside the magic tent is a fairly large room, where Elaine and the others sleep in bed, while Ray often sleeps on the floor or on the couch.

... there is no doubt that one is under the roof, so I was sure that some people would be quite mistaken.

"Hmm? Oh, it's me? I've had enough out there. I'm used to it."

I guess wild boarding is more familiar to Lew than being an adventurer working on solos.

It was only natural to sleep in the situation as it was when Solo's Relieux went wild, beyond the absence of a presence like Seto.

If you sleep in a tent or use a bunch of sleeping bags, if that's what happened to a monster or bandit attacking you, there's no way to deal with it.

(Plus if you're outside the magic tent, I guess you can play enough with Seto)

From what Ray saw, it seemed like that was probably the biggest reason why Lelew decided to reveal the night on the side of the magic tent.

Most importantly, Ray never bothered to talk about it more than Lew was trying to hide it.

Besides, many members of the Red Lotus Wings, led by Ray, have a variety of translations, and most importantly, there is Elaine the outsider this time.

Beyond that, it's also true that sleeping in a room with you - a magic tent, though - is all kinds of unsavory.

There is no doubt that Lew's offer was more appreciated than under such circumstances.

"Sorry."

"Fine, nothing like this. It's not like I don't have a profit either."

In a way, he grinned at how unblemished Lew was, and Ray took out a variety of dishes for dinner from the mysteries.
