Legend

1775 words

In front of the unconscious woman, Ray explores the signs around her.

With such a ray, Seto also explores the signs around him... but there's no sign of him around anymore.

No, there are a few signs of Gilm's inhabitants to be exact, but should we say that there are no more signs of hostility or willingness to kill ourselves?

As I waited on the spot with Death Size in my hand and allowing the woman to react even immediately the moment she was targeted, I eventually heard multiple footsteps.

Although Ray was not nervous when he heard the footsteps, he was relieved.

If you're going to keep aiming at a fainting woman, that's the only way you won't imitate a lot of people coming running like you do now.

Beyond that, it was obvious without having to think about what kind of footsteps this footstep was.

"Don't move!

If you come in the alley, scream guard.

Yes, the footsteps that were approaching belonged to the guards, as Ray expected.

The guards, too, would have been surprised that it was Ray and Seto who were there if they had come screaming that the woman was being attacked.

The screamed guard opens his mouth in surprise.

"Ray...... right? Was that scream earlier about Ray?

"Oh, you're right. I think that voice was trying to kill this woman because of me."

With that said, Ray gazes at the wreckage of a dagger falling to the ground as he stores his death size inside the mistering.

That dagger, whose full body was cut off beautifully, was enough to tighten the look on the guard's face.

"Can you give me a detailed explanation of what's going on?

"Right. I don't mind that either, but it's dangerous to be here forever, considering this woman herself. Why don't we go to the jar and talk about it? We'll have to treat this woman."

Ray is the one who stunned the woman, but he tells her that he didn't care at all.

That's why the guards also decide that the owner of the dagger must have done the woman fainting, and take the fainted woman out of the alley.

... It was natural because the guards went inside multiple alleys, but what Ray saw out of the alley was the sight of a large crowd of spectacular people gathering to see what had happened.

(Maybe the guy who threw the dagger in here is mixed up... could it be? It's hard to find that, though. Can't we just hope the other one gets his tail out)

With that in mind, there was anticipation that Ray would probably not do such an imitation under the current circumstances.

"Bye, Ray. I'm sorry, but I need to know what's going on, so I need you to go to the jar."

Ray, who watched those around him, nodded back at the words of the guard.

Note that even if you look at Ray like that, the spectators are more likely to wonder about him again than surprised.

Because over and over the last few days Ray has done things like capture those who are doing something wrong.

That's why many people wonder if the same thing happened before even when Ray headed towards the stuffing room with the guards.

A little different than usual is that the screams echoed around before the guards arrived?

However, nobody thinks that the scream is about Ray... from Ray's usual attitude?

It was a ray that would not condone opponents such as the ones involved and the bad guys, but I would not basically do anything to raise my hand against the good inhabitants.

I guess the residents of Gilm know that too, so if you look at Ray this way, you don't think Ray committed any criminal activity.

"Hmm? Hey, dude. What the hell is that woman? Pretty pretty...... no, it's cute though"

Some of the spectators notice the woman the guards are carrying.

If one notices its existence and puts it in his mouth, the others, naturally, notice its existence and rumor it who it is.

A woman with the look she deserves to call herself cute, not beautiful.

... No one would be able to predict that the woman was going to strip Ceto.

Though some of the adventurers mixed up among the spectators could tell that a woman could do quite well.

And... a few people look sorry to see Seto come out of the alley.

I'd love Seto if I could, but Ray's going to the guard's locker naturally means Seto will follow suit, so I'm sorry that I can't love Seto.

Some of them are thinking about loving Seto, who is waiting near the guard's jar.

Either way, the Rays headed to the guard's quarters while being turned on for such a variety of sights.

During the guard's stuffing, Ray was talking to the guards he'd seen over and over in the last few days.

The sight is very soothing and even a cup of tea is placed in front of the ray.

It's not very much, but it's not the kind of sight I imagine when I'm told I'm listening to the circumstances, and I deserve to describe it as either bickering.

Most importantly, the atmosphere was soothing, but what was being said was never calm.

"So I prevented the dagger from being thrown. You recovered the dagger wreckage, didn't you?

"Oh. It's just that that dagger itself isn't that rare. It's a dagger made for throwing, but that's all. If it was made by an artisan with an arm… or something like that, we might be able to identify the manufacturing location to some extent…"

It's hard to track the area because it's not that skilled of a craftsman's work.

Yes, the guards go on.

"When I do, I need to get the information out of that woman when she wakes up... what do you say?

To Ray's words, the guard with his gaze shook his neck to the side.

"There's no way to wake up yet. As Ray says, I keep an eye on him after tying him to the bed so he can't move..."

I clouded the word where I was on guard because when I ordered my men to keep staring at the woman's sleeping face, another subordinate...... they would have turned a cold gaze from the woman's men.

Staring at a woman's sleeping face means she has a bad taste.

Nevertheless, the woman's guard was not that strong, and if the woman who was fainting in the infirmary bed woke up and rumbled out, she didn't think she could be stopped.

As a result, I told the first man I ordered to carry out the order as it were...... The cold gaze of the woman's men was worn with a sharp blade, both the guard I ordered and the heart of the guard I ordered.

Anyway, I can't even imitate being forced to wake up just because I'm fainting, and as a guard, I just have to wait to wake up naturally.

"Still, I can't believe there's a guy trying to get a little bit out on Ray at Gilm now. What kind of death?

"Maybe it has something to do with those red cloth guys."

"Uh... he said you've been looking for him lately. Honestly, I'm glad you laid them off."

Due to the fact that more people remain in the guilds than usual for the construction of additional buildings, there will naturally be more problems of various kinds.

For that reason, the guard's hands are not quite enough at the moment.

That's why, despite the fact that the bulk of the additions are now stopped, so much so that they still employ the adventurers in the form of aids to the lookout.

Work was reduced and a significant number of those who had come to the Guild for additional construction had already left the Guild.

Nonetheless, I am so busy because people have been overflowing the city since daylight because I no longer have a job.

For such guards, the presence of Ray, even if limited to those wrapped in red cloth, would capture them if they found someone who was committing criminal acts, was greatly appreciated.

I'm also glad the guards don't need a reward because I haven't asked for the guild and that's what Ray is doing from himself.

"I'm glad you said that, but in the end, all you can catch is miscellaneous fish."

"It's the end of the line that's committing a criminal act... Ray's saying it's a miscellaneous fish, so if you go after a guy like that, naturally it's just gonna be a miscellaneous fish"

"I know. That's why I'm counting on that woman."

I end up back there.

And there's nothing in particular to do until the woman's consciousness returns, so this is how we're talking... and then Ray realizes.

"No, aren't the guards busy? Is this how you can deal with me?

"Oh. So I'm the only one who's dealing with you, and you left only one in the infirmary, and the rest of them let you get to work, right?

"... so this is how you're taking your time with me"

When Ray tells him in a slightly dazed mood, the guard smiles with a tenacious chest at Ray's words like that.

"This is what I do. And..."

He was a guard who tried to say something more, but the door is knocked before he can say it.

"Do you have a minute? The woman in the infirmary woke up. Now Romolo's watching, but he wants us to come as soon as he can."

That's what I said, a man in his forties or so.

I'm the doctor entrusted with the infirmary in this jar.

And Romolo was keeping an eye on a fainted woman... and a man who was turned cold by a woman's men, who is not currently in the jail.

"Did you wake up? Then go. Ray's coming, isn't he?

"Of course."

With that said, Ray also rises from the chair where he was sitting.

In the first place, Ray stayed here only to hear what was going on from that woman.

What are you thinking, imitating like distributing a red cloth and committing a criminal act?

... of course, there is no physical evidence that the woman is involved in one of the red cloth cases.

On the contrary, I wouldn't even be able to say that we have all the circumstantial evidence, beyond just saying that we have harmed Ray and Seto.

Because it's not necessarily that Ray doesn't have a harmful presence in the guild.

Even the organization behind it doesn't do anything to detract from the strength of Ray or his behavior of not forgiving the enemy, but that doesn't mean he's not hostile to Ray.

He hangs the profits and disadvantages he gets when he hands on the balance, and overwhelmingly the latter wins, which is why he hasn't.

Many of those who belong to the organization behind them naturally want to be prestigious, to be seen at a glance from around them, to think so.

That's why the presence of Ray is very disturbing to those like the lower end, regardless of the upper level of the tissue behind it.

... In fact, there may be setlovers in the organization behind them, so not everyone is necessarily hostile to Ray.

Either way, it was the guard's idea that the possibility that the woman currently in the infirmary was part of such a back organization could not necessarily be abandoned.

"... you're making a scene"

When the infirmary gets closer, the guard who's been dealing with Ray squeaks.

In fact, Ray's ears had also heard a woman making a scene in the infirmary for a long time.

Do you think you can untie the rope you are tying and imitate yourself like this?

I'm screaming about that...... and even more, I can hear you screaming about Romolo not being hot on a woman because she's imitating him like that, and all sorts of other things that break Romolo's heart.

"Wow..."

The guards must have understood the contents.

If you keep going to the infirmary, I think you're going to get this blade of words yourself, and the guard's legs are a little blunt.

The man entrusted with the infirmary came here leaving Romolo with such a bad mouthful of gossip that it might be caused by this poor mouth.

There was no doubt that Romolo's mental damage had become considerable, as it would not rest and would be heard next.

I did it right in front of the infirmary. It was the Rays, but the guard's leg stopped while he was leading the way, so naturally Ray and the doctor's leg also stopped.

"Hey, aren't you going in there?

That's what Ray tells the guards who won't move after dozens of seconds in front of the door.

Of course, Ray doesn't want to talk face-to-face with someone with a bad mouth like he hears from inside the infirmary, but he still needed to face to face in order to get the information out.

"Uh... I know. I know. Still...... hey? You know what I mean?"

"I don't know what you're trying to say, but that doesn't mean you can't stay like this forever. Come on, get ready and get in the room."

The guard man turns a grudgingly glance at Ray for saying so, but what Ray is saying is also true.

That's why eventually the man who was ready opened the door to the infirmary...

"So just get me... Huh?

She was the woman who was shouting something at Romolo against her, but noticed the door open and turned her gaze to you... even though she looked at the guard and said something, the moment she saw Ray behind her, the woman lost consciousness again and fell into bed.
