"I'm Bruit Exolis. The son of a stranger at the Count Exolis' house."
I guess you thought Ray didn't know who he was. Bruit turns to Ray and tells him so.
"What did the Earl's son do to imitate this in a place like this?
Normally, the nobleman's son would leave the city... and on top of that, I don't think he would rub it or anything with those people. To Ray, who turns his gaze when he says so, Bruit points his gaze a little further away.
There, the figure of a man or woman who seems to be in his early twenties bowing his head.
Seeing that, Ray also somehow understood.
Perhaps those men and women were involved in the earlier chimps, and Bruit helped them with that.
(Though, I don't know if that's why the Earl's kid bothered to help with that.... No, even if he is the son of the Count family, is there no problem if he has all this strength? Still, it's going to develop into a liability issue such as escorts......)
It was Ray, who sometimes dealt with people with high titles, such as the Duke and Marquis, but still, the Count House is a man above heaven enough from the average man's point of view.
It would undoubtedly be a commotion if such a person were known to be in a quarrel with a chimp.
But Bruit, ahead of Ray's gaze, doesn't care about that at all, when he waves gently at the man and woman with his head down, that's all he can do.
Seeing such a sight, Leo Dannis has a subtle... really subtle look on his face.
Originally, it's the guards' job to keep Anesis safe.
Even so, it was the son of the Count Exolis family who solved the trouble that arose… it is also a person named the next Lord, so it would be natural for Leodanis to have this look on his face.
(What were the guards doing?
It was Leodanis who thought so in a slightly eight-hearted way, but it didn't mean that Anesis guards were lazy.
No, the guards of Ningro Anesis will be among the brilliant even if they look around the entire kingdom of Mireana.
It's purely a matter of luck that the guards couldn't make it this time and Bruit was set to make a brawl.
Two men and two women...... probably lovers. That's all the problem, when the two are entangled in a chimp, there was no guard figure nearby by chance, but a blue-it figure instead.
Of course, it's a matter of luck, so that doesn't mean it's all settled.
"Uh... for now, why don't you leave here? When the guards arrive, it's gonna be a lot of trouble."
As a knight Leodanis, I suppose we should actively move for the guards.
But if you imitate like that now, you'll let the Rays and Bluits who are guiding you waste your time.
As things stand, there is no reason to imitate that, and I choose to leave the scene in the end.
Most importantly, it was also because Bruit helped the lovers who were entangled in the chimps, and if it hadn't worked out, such imitation would not have been possible.
"Hmm. I was hoping to have a little talk with Ray, too. Why don't we act together anyway? Even if we leave here, it's gonna be more interesting."
"... uh, Ray?
The star of this one is only Ray.
Beyond that, whether or not I can act with Bluitt, that's what gives Ray the choice.
As for Leo Dannis, I don't want to leave Bruit alone, if I can, more than I have seen the next Count Exolis homeowner in a place like this.
More than that, I saw Ray with the desire to accept Ray if I could...
"Oh, I don't mind. I'm a little interested in Bruit, too."
What Leo Danis heard was the voice of such a ray.
Leo Danis puts a slightly surprising look on his face as Ray unexpectedly nodded lightly.
I had originally heard rumors about Ray, but as a result of losing to Ray without a hand or a leg in a mock fight, I gathered information about Ray in more detail from that remorse.
What I understood as a result was that Ray and the nobility were basically incompatible.
It was completely unexpected that Ray would snort so lightly in Bruit's words, especially with the aristocratic noblemen, who have rubbed him many times.
"Are you sure you're okay? If Ray runs me over, I'm in trouble."
"You're not going to break out of me.... from me."
It was Leo Dannis who saw what he should do with Ray telling him so, but even if he said anything more in the current situation, he decides that's all he's going to waste his time here, reluctantly convinced of the word.
Because if you argue badly here, there's a chance that the guards will come.
"Okay. Then... let's get out of here."
Nodding at Leo Dannis' words, all the Rays who were there moved off the spot.
Most importantly, Ray wondered if the guards would soon know that Bruit was with them.
"Well, was the rumor that Ray was close to Lord Elaine still true"
Bruit laughs joyfully as he swallows a chunk of simmered meat with ale.
At present, the Rays are in the park.
There's no one but the Rays to see the impact of the snow.
It seems like a good thing to be playing around with kids, but it didn't even look like it.
Although Ray didn't care any more that he was probably playing somewhere else.
Kids in this world basically play outside when they play.
... even less, like the planet Ray was on, there is no console kind, so that's how I have to play.
Some children prefer things like reading books, but such a person would be an overwhelming minority because the kinds of books are very expensive and not like they can be bought in the average household.
"Right. That's an unmistakable fact."
Seeing Ray answer Bruit's words, Leodanis gives a subtle look and Miranda shines her eyes with curiosity.
If you try Leodanis, so too is the presence of Elaine, a symbol of the aristocracy, but also of the Duke of Kelevel family.
Of course, I respect the film leading the Knights from the bottom of my heart, but that's not why I don't respect Elaine.
And given Elaine's beauty, it would be more impossible not to admire it.
Leo Dannis is not the exception to that, naturally, but has a strong longing for Elaine.
If you were told that Elaine and Ray were close, that would naturally give you a complicated look.
Miranda doesn't yearn for the existence of Elaine... but is there a difference between a man and a woman?
To be honest, I was more concerned about Elaine's romantic circumstances than I admired her.
It was not uncommon for Elaine to be rumored to be as beautiful as there was no one lined up under the heavens, but behind such rumors, there were no close men at all.
No, there are a few if you're simply close, to be precise, but what Elaine has for such an opponent is not feelings for the opposite sex, but things like friendship and compatriots.
A man often told me from its beauty, and that was unnecessarily taking romantic feelings away from Elaine.
So when the maids found out a few years ago that Elaine had a shadow of a man who had come to have the alias General… Princess, the maids all rumored about what it was like.
But there's nothing like coming to Anesis before about the rumored Ray... this time, it's finally happening.
And the Dukes of Kelp and his wife were also given what should also be called tacit acknowledgement.
Miranda also knows what's going on around there because of the rumors of the maid.
If you can still listen to that story yourself, it would be natural to want to hear it.
"Well, I didn't know I was going to say that much. But... when you do, there's gonna be a lot of guys out there hostile to Ray, right? If I can take Lord Elaine as my wife, I'll be glad to welcome her."
With that said, there's no such thing as an obsession with Elaine from what Bruit looks like.
I guess I wanted to see how Ray reacted.
"If they're coming at us, we'll just deal with them."
"... you're right about the rumors"
Hearing Ray's words, Bruit smiles a manly smile.
Bruit also naturally gathered a lot of information about Ray.
I knew that there were some of them who didn't do anything wrong with nobility, and that there were nobles who actually tried to do harm to Ray and felt painful.
"I don't know what that rumor looks like, but it feels subtle to be able to predict in general."
"Well, if you think about Ray's character"
"... so, regardless of my rumors, what are you in a position to be the next lord of the aristocracy, you were all over the city dressed up like that without taking anyone?
If it's normal, it's impossible that the next owner of the Count's house is walking around the city without one of his escorts.
Nonetheless, Bruit was doing the impossible.
Besides, it's the circumference of preparing the kind of things that civilians wear up to their outfits - the finest of them all.
It was Ray's idea that this could not be just a coincidence or something.
"It doesn't mean I was up to anything, so don't worry. I was just looking at this city purely interested. I honestly envy the prosperity of this Anesis from my point of view. Our territory also thrives there, but still falls a few steps compared to Anesis"
That would be a heartfelt word, not a compliment or anything.
Most importantly, it would be quite difficult for a city or city in the territory of Bruit to develop more than Annesis, than the second city in the Kingdom of Mileana.
"So, really just a tour?
"Right. You've been thinking a little bit about how to compare it to my home territory. I wasn't just looking vaguely."
"Heh, really? So, what makes you think this Anesis is different from the territory of Bruit?
That's probably why Ray asked Bluitt's words, because Ray's based Guild is currently working on the additions.
I was wondering if the guild would be more prosperous if it could apply to the guild some element that lies solely in this anesis. That's why I thought so.
... Most of all, it was Ray, who is thought to be a Dasker's katana from all around him, but it's not really that relationship.
Dusker will hear it once Ray gives his opinion, but it will be subtle to see if it reflects it.
Urban design is something that experts in that muscle do, and even if Ray suggests it with a little bit of knowledge, it's more likely to be harmful.
Whether that helps or not, knowledge should be remembered, whatever it is, Ray waits for Bluitt to say.
With such Ray's gaze on him, Bluit thinks a little...... opens his mouth.
"Right. First of all, I was surprised that the garbage hadn't fallen much"
"... what?
I was wondering exactly where the city was located or if we were going to talk about some kind of store, but Ray is surprised why it's garbage there.
Surprisingly… I immediately recall the knowledge I heard of some applause in Japan.
(The crack window theory... was that it?
In places like those with broken windows, crime is more likely to occur.
There are a lot of finer theories to be exact, but what Ray remembered was to that extent.
"Trash is a lot of guys who think they can throw it away too if they throw it away. If that's how the garbage gets dumped one after the other, then naturally it gets dirty there, and people don't lean on it or, in some cases, they don't want you to come near them. That way, you'll be able to slam the streets in no time, and the dark folks behind you will be a bunch"
Leo Danis gives a good look to Bruit's words telling him so.
I guess I don't feel bad about the measures my husband is taking being praised.
It's surprising from Ray's eyes that he's doing something so close to crack window theory.
More than there can be no such thing as a crack window theory in this world, we probably got there from something empirical.
(No, maybe reincarnate it, metastasize it, is it possible that the guy who came here besides me spread that theory)
It's not surprising that the area remains with some knowledge beyond knowing who has transferred to this Elgin or who has been reincarnated.
That's how Ray continued his conversation with Bruit.
