Legend

Having encountered Bruit, Ray decided to stop her plans to go to the library and even make tea with Bruit.

Precisely what we should call a light dinner party in the name of tea.

If it's normal, parties are held in a few more hours, so it's common not to eat much in advance in preparation for a meal there.

However, such common sense had nothing to do with Ray and Bruit, and he was savoring the sandwiches that Miranda had prepared and some of the dishes that were in Ray's mysteries.

"This soup is delicious. Is that the one you bought at Anesis?

"No, you're a gilm"

"... right"

While eating soup full of oak meat and vegetables, Ray denies the blue-it question.

Try Blue It, and if you can eat this soup at Anesis, you want to go to the store, and I guess that's what you thought.

But Bruit can't taste enough of it than Ray bought it in the dining room in Gilm.

(If you come to Gilm, except for the story)

While I think that way, Ray continues his conversation with Bruit.

"With that said, some of the aristocrats coming together today are using their former adventurers as escorts, you know?

"Asking me about nobility is wrong in the first place, don't you think?

"... do you? Well, if you ask me, maybe so."

It was just a little blue-it I thought into Ray's words, but soon I'm convinced Ray's words are right.

"Anyway, that's the kind of guy I have."

"Hmm. So, listen to that, what do you want me to do? Honestly, if that adventurer and I didn't even know each other, I wouldn't think it would make any sense to see each other."

"Really? You're the same adventurer, aren't you?

"Then I ask, is Bruit intimate with all the nobles?

That's what they say. Bruit, he gets stuck in words.

If you originally thought of Bruit solely in terms of aristocracy, you can say that it is out of standard.

So if Ray asks me if I feel familiar with other nobles, like he said, I can't honestly nod at it.

"It was my fault."

That's why Bruit honestly apologizes this way.

"No, it's nothing like being so firmly apologized for. Besides, maybe that adventurer can't deny that I know him."

Somehow, ever since Ray came to this world called Elgin, he's been involved with a lot of adventurers.

The possibility that such an opponent is supposed to serve a nobleman can never be denied, though perhaps… really.

Most importantly, in Elgin… no, given the number of adventurers in the kingdom of Mireana, you wouldn't happen to encounter a facial acquaintance so accidentally.

"So, is there anything else we can talk about?

"Even if they say so. I'm not that familiar with aristocracy or anything. Oh, it's just... I saw Gaiska's father."

"... of Gaiska, or"

Ray gives me a disgusting look at Bluitt's words.

For Ray, Geiska is never the kind of person he likes to get close to himself.

Probably expecting Geiska to be the one who hired the black wolf, but there's no evidence there.

Being told that Gaiska's father was coming didn't make me feel happy as Ray.

But Bluitt opens his mouth with a grin at how Ray looks like that.

"I'll tell you what, Marquis Seysor isn't like Geiska. You can say it's different."

"... so much?

"Oh. In the first place, the Marquis Seysor family is highly influential among the aristocrats. Ray only looked at Geiska and found out. You may be wondering, but Geiska and Marquis Seysor can't think the same way."

The look on Bruit's face to tell him so was not a joke, but a serious one.

If you can give me that look, I can't imitate Ray flushing jokes either.

"That much?

"Oh. I'm talking about the Marquis Seysol, who has grown considerably more powerful in his current Lord's stead"

Even the same title, for example, naturally makes a difference due to the power of the territory held by its nobility.

Other than that, it is the ability that the Lord and his children actually possess, or it makes a difference in various forces due to various factors.

Ray nods, I guess that's what Bruit is saying.

"With that said, I've heard it too. The Marquis Seisole family said it was Setouchi several generations ago to see if they could maintain Marquis territory. Generations have managed to gradually increase their power, but now they are in charge and have increased their influence at once."

Miranda is also a noble daughter, albeit a baron.

I know how hard it is for the aristocrats to enhance the power of their own homes.

That is why the tone resides in strong respect and, at the same time, fear.

Growing so much power in just one generation is not what legitimate means alone can do.

Above and beyond that, it's natural that we're definitely using some kind of back-dark means, and I guess we'll just be afraid of that knowing.

Perhaps it is not fear, but fear, which is a sign that Miranda is noble.

"Is it that awesome?... how did Geiska end up like that when she's such an amazing person's child?

"It's..."

It was a cloudy Miranda, but Bruit doesn't think about Miranda like that at all and opens her mouth.

"You simply don't imitate yourself or anything, because you've lived as you please.... Well, that seems to do quite a bit in terms of hanging out with other nobles"

There is a slight but jealous color to the look on Bruit's face that tells him so.

From Ray's point of view, I don't think there are any elements at all that would make Bruit jealous of Geiska... but I guess there are still a lot of things to think about that he's still putting it on his face like this.

(Possible possibilities include dating between nobles? At least not least, Bruit is not as easy to hang out with the average aristocrat.... Me and my personality fit, but it's obvious around there)

Ray also understands that he is not compatible with a normal aristocrat.

Because I can talk to myself in such a friendly way, I could have expected that Bruit would not talk to a normal nobleman as a matter of course.

"Oh, so to speak..."

You felt something in Ray's gaze, Bruit changes the subject.

"What happened to one of the mock wars before this?

"About the mock fight... oh, about those guys who attacked me. There's nothing in particular going on. Originally, it wasn't a normal drug, so I couldn't get the information out."

To be precise, I guess the Black Wolf showed up yesterday... but I didn't want to involve Blueit in one of the Black Wolf cases.

And Miranda doesn't want to get involved again either.

Most importantly, Bruit, Miranda works at this Duke of Kelevel residence anyway.

Because knowing that the Black Wolf broke into this mansion last night is not strange.

(but as far as this goes, you probably don't know)

Maybe if you're close to Miranda and Leo Dannis, you know what's going on around there... Leo Dannis wouldn't want to get Miranda involved in this one either.

Ray can somehow understand that he doesn't have the personality to teach the secrets he learned in his profession to those who are so desperate.

I was thinking that way Ray, but Fu Bruit changes the subject.

No, I didn't exactly change the subject, but it would have seemed the same to those who knew nothing.

"With that said, the guy who broke into this mansion yesterday left? I didn't even think you had the fate to break into the Duke's mansion, but I'm surprised you succeeded in doing so."

For a moment, only for a moment, I thought maybe Bruit was referring to Count Caselles, who raided Seto, but when I looked at Bruit's eyes, I understood he was referring to another... black wolf thing, not you.

Most importantly, Bruit didn't realize that his sneaky opponent was a black wolf, and he simply seemed to think he was something else.

"Right. Well, there's a lot going on at the Duke of Kelevel house, too. Sometimes they were having a party."

"Oh, the servant's.... Given that, maybe I can't help it. I think the guy who broke in after thinking about it is pretty smart. I knew you'd think that, too, didn't you?

Blueit's gaze was directed at Miranda.

It was Miranda in charge of Ray, but neither that Miranda nor Bruit's words were disputed, and he nods honestly.

If you try Miranda, it's only normal that security at the Duke of Kelp residence is tight... that's what I'd call common sense.

Yet it still creeps me out that I've been broken into by someone I don't know with anyone.

"Right. I'd like someone to get caught breaking in as soon as possible, though. … that won't be easy either"

I nod back at the way I squeak and blueit agrees.

"I guess. Normally, I don't think there's a guy like this sneaking into a place where vigilance is strict. For example, his purpose is…"

That gaze was directed at Ray, and I could understand what Bruit wanted to say without saying it to the end, both to Ray and to Miranda.

"I won't deny that, but if it does, is there any chance that there will be no damage to the inhabitants of the Duke of Keller Mansion, even if there is damage to me"

"... Do you have any? It's not that uncommon not to have a match between your arms and your personality, is it?

Shit, he said.

Ray decides in Bruit's words that it was something he could say because he saw the black wolf with his immediate eyes.

Nevertheless, the Black Wolf imitates the use of drugs to attack Ray and Seto and Bruit, so it is half the same as Ray's assumption that no harm will be done except to the target.

Still, in the present circumstances, I could still be deluded enough.

"Of course I wouldn't say I would, it's just that, from my experience so far, it's pretty much like that"

"Is that what this is about?"

That's what I'd tell you, Bruit, but Ray doesn't even know if you actually convinced him of the word.

Either way, I'm still convinced that I misled you for once.

"Oh. Some of them, of course, seem to have the worst personality, although their arms stand, and I would never say they do."

In fact, there is no causal link between the character and skill of the person.

Some are very strong, even if they have bad personalities, and many are good or weak.

In the first place, even Ray can never say he has a good personality.

Less, personalities of good character do not hunt bandits and make the treasures taken by bandits their own, nor do they imitate such things as selling off captured bandits as slaves.

"Well, if the character of every man who stands up for his arm is good, it's okay for him to be out of war or whatever."

That's what I'm gonna tell you, Bruit, but Ray can't fully agree with that.

The story now presupposes only that the character of the man who stands up in arms is good.

But giving orders to force like an army is basically not in the form of kings, emperors, or equivalents who are strong in person.

In Bruit's opinion, it's tantamount to saying that unless the top of a country such as a king or emperor is strong, there will be a war.

It means more than that, the war will never end.

(I've never met the king of the kingdom of Mireana, but the emperor of the Bestian Empire usually seemed to have such a character as wanting to fight....... though, there's no way the Bestian Empire is going to attack me right now)

If you try to lay it on, it doesn't seem particularly problematic unless someone above the country makes a strange decision.

But that, on the contrary, would mean that if a strange decision were made, there would be a problem.

Given the circumstances around it, he wanted it to be clear, regardless of whether it was strong or not.
