"... troublesome"
"Gru."
"Hmm?... oh, I see. I don't deny what Ray said... but you worked a little too hard in a mock fight, didn't you?
Two and one, Ray, Seto and Bruit, who were eating and walking through several stalls, whine when they realize the signs of those who are following them.
Most of all, Bluitt finally realized that in Ray's whining.
No, the fact that I was able to perceive the signs with Ningro Ray's whining would be a sign that Bluitt is more accustomed in action than just a nobleman around.
(Does the salvation at least mean you're not the owner of that creepy gaze)
Those who are after themselves are clearly inferior compared to the Lord of Sight that Ray has felt several times.
In the first place, I can't kill emotions like killings and malice... on the contrary, I don't even have the appearance to hide them.
No matter where you look from, you deserve to call it a miscellaneous fish.
(It's a little hard to imagine that that mutton is going to attack me or Griffon's Ceto, who showed all that power in a mock fight)
Even an opponent who could not discern the strength of his opponent could undoubtedly understand that Ray was strong if he saw that mock fight.
In spite of that, why to yourself without knowing who you are? And I thought so Ray... but then I look up at the giant guy next to me.
I thought it was an enemy attack on me after all, because I thought maybe it had something to do with Bruit, not me.
Bruit doesn't look aristocratic at first glance, and Ray sees fighting all over the city.
More than that, because I thought it wouldn't be strange to have someone with a grudge against Bruit.
"Hey, could it be... the aim of the guys that are after us is not me, but Bruit?
"What? Me? … oh, that may not be denied"
For a moment, why yourself? It was a blue-it with a look like that, but I immediately get a convincing look at how I've behaved so far.
"Uh... I mean, does this mean I got the Rays involved?
"I don't know. You do me harm after seeing that mock fight... some of you might imitate it... if you think which one is more likely..."
"I knew it was me."
"Gru."
Ringing as Seto agrees with Bruit's words.
Still, I guess Ray and Seto don't have the kind of gaze to blame for Bluit because they're often just as tangled up.
Bruit smiles happily at the words of Ray and Seto like that.
Maybe I was wondering if they would say I was involved in a lopsided commotion, but I was actually glad they didn't imitate me like that.
"In the meantime, I can't even enjoy good food if I bring those people with me. I guess we should clean up somewhere appropriate. Don't you know where that is?
Ray asked me where to fight. It was Bruit, but in the first place the festival was decided on the spot, and at the same time the stalls going in there were decided in a way that was close to halfway there.
There are many blind spots there to call as well, beyond what is naturally not well calculated and prepared.
I do... Until a little while ago, Bruit was watching Ray's mock battle, and this is how he came to enjoy the street food after it was over.
I don't know anything about this neighborhood, as a matter of course.
"No... it just feels pretty cumbersome and there are stalls, and if you look, there are places like that? Better move on before they do something strange in this crowd."
"If I could, I would have enjoyed cooking a little more. See?"
"Gru!"
To Ray's words, you're right! and a throat-beating ceto.
If you tried Ceto, you still wanted to prioritize eating the kind of food you could only eat right now.
Most of all, the stalls here are usually those in Anesis.
Naturally, if you intend to look, you will be able to look.
… I cannot deny that today is a festival and that there are dishes that can only be eaten today, in that they serve slightly different dishes.
Whatever it is, we decide that we can't even slowly go around the stall like this, and Ray and the others look for a place that no one around us can find and make a scene, and not break it, even if it breaks out somewhere.
Traveling with those approaching us maliciously from behind means there would normally be spiritual wear and tear... there are faces like Ray, Seto, and Bruit.
Rays, accustomed to rough things, keep walking through festival venues without the wind they particularly cared about.
Ray wanted to do something like buy something to cook at a street halfway house if he could, but I just can't imitate that in the current situation.
Especially after the simulation, because there were a lot of people looking to fill their stomachs in the stalls, and they were in quite a line.
And naturally, Ray, who fought the mock battle, and Seto, who showed up before it, have been noticed by other guests.
(As it is, the people who are after us will cut the paralysis and attack this way... or give up attacking? The latter would be nice, but if it were the former, I wouldn't even be able to see a lot of things. You need to find an unpopular place early)
Ray learns a little bit of haste when he sees people chasing him...
"Gru."
Unexpectedly, Seto rattles his throat and pulls Ray's dragon robe.
I didn't know where Seto was going to take himself, but I know how all kinds of things taste as they are, so Ray moves to be pulled by Seto like that.
Bruit, who is acting with Ray, also follows Ray and Seto like that.
That's how Seto took the Rays to a sparsely populated place. Specifically, it was the place where the rest of the materials used for this festival were located.
Until this morning, I guess this place was also busy preparing for the festival, but the number of people is low now that the festival is already taking place.
... There are a few of them, even though the festival is starting, probably because there is a watchful role to use for the festival to prevent the remaining materials from being stolen.
That's why those who stayed on the spot suddenly even turned their suspicious gaze to the Rays who appeared... Seeing Seto stop moving like confused.
If you suddenly see a griffon, the reaction will be natural.
Not to mention because the main part of this festival is Ray's simulated battle, as well as Seto's introduction.
I mean, having Seto here would mean that one of us together would be Ray.
What the hell is a person like that doing? and doubt...... Ray opens his mouth before one of the guys tries to open anything.
"Sorry, I came here looking for somewhere a little less people. It's going to be a bit of a commotion, so if you don't want to get hurt, you better hide or move somewhere."
I know you should have called me around the guards, but it's troublesome to get to the target because you think he has a grudge against Bruit.
In this case, it would probably be a problem to explain the situation to the guards after the disturbance is over.
"What? What the hell are you..."
There's no way I can honestly nod at the men entrusted with this occasion if they say so.
That's why I tried to ask the details... things move before Ray answered the man's words.
More than a dozen men emerged from the direction in which the Rays arrived.
Of the men who have come, the man at the head finds Rays and smiles happily as he looks around.
"Well, it seemed like he was trying to get away from us, but he wasn't lucky to get away from us like this."
He was the man who laughed so well, but Ray's gaze at such a man was dark in color.
If it's just Bruit, there's still Seto on this occasion, above all in Ray, who showed all that strength in a mock fight.
In such a situation, I don't understand why you can have such a strong attitude... if you try to lay it on me, I don't understand it at all.
"I think you're the ones who got unlucky, not us. In the first place, you think you can handle us in that number of people?
"Oh? You know, if it wasn't up to you naturally. Whoa, whoa, whoa!
A man who shouts thoughtfully at the end of his words for some reason.
Looking at such a man, Ray continues his words with reassurance that it would have been nice not to involve irrelevant persons, perceiving with signs that those who would otherwise have stayed on the lookout for this occasion would have left.
"Suddenly you scream, what's the matter? Did Blueit hurt you that much? I don't know why you guys could have rubbed Bruit, but you wouldn't be so angry."
"... ahem?
The man, screaming until a few seconds ago, gives a strange look from the bottom of his heart, like he doesn't know what Ray said for a moment.
Is that it? And Ray questions it for a moment because of how the man is doing.
I wonder why I get a strange look here.
Normally, in this case, it's not surprising to imitate things like rebelling against what Ray says or, in some cases, being convinced.
But still, it was just unexpected for Ray to get that look on here.
……
Ray and Bluitt gaze silently at each other.
Ray blames you with his gaze for not being the cause, and Bruit thinks so, but actually complains with his gaze that it wasn't.
Eventually, Ray turns to the men in front of him and asks.
"Let me ask you something, you guys are after Blue It... you mean this guy over here okay?
"Ahem? You don't need a big one like that. What we want is your life!
Ray gives a subtle look, mixed with surprise and convincing, at the way he lightly affirms it.
Because he appeared so prominently, Ray also understood that the other party was not thinking of any particular ruse.
But... I should have known that Ray had beaten many more people in the mock than he was here.
(No, maybe he came here after the mock fight and hasn't seen the mock fight...... but that leaves me with a lot of questions. I don't look frightened at all when I look at Seto, anyway. Why?
If you haven't seen the simulation, it's no wonder you're not afraid of Ray.
However, it was clearly unusual to say that there was a ceto that was more than three meters long, but there was no appearance of fear of you at all.
"Look, just die. That'll make us happy. Damn, we're lucky to just kill one of these guys."
Raise your voice to the man's words, as do the others.
(Seems like the conversation is going through, not through? Well, as is often the case with these hands, no wonder)
I didn't think so, but I feel uncomfortable somewhere.
There's that discomfort, not ignoring Ray's words and uttering his own, but really as if he hadn't heard Ray's words.
"It turns out it was you, not me."
"Apparently.... but honestly, how about seeing Seto doesn't frighten you at all? Normally, I don't think I can say that in front of Seto."
To Ray's words, I also had to convince Bluitt.
For a moment, just for a moment, I also wondered if those men were just powerful enough to beat Seto, but I immediately deny the idea.
As far as body usage and how to hold a weapon are concerned, not very much, but I can fight Seto... on the contrary, because I was able to determine that there was no winning chance of dealing with a Rank D adventurer called a veteran.
"Are you guys insane? You think you can beat me with that much strength?
"Ugh... uhh... uhhhhhhhhhh!
The moment he hears a word that can't even be called Ray's provocation, the man suddenly screams.
Ray didn't even know why he suddenly cut it like that, but he still responded to the man's cry and the other men, each with a weapon in his hand, rushed out at once towards the Rays.
