Legend

1851 words

The day after the party, Ray sometimes slept late and got up much later than usual.

Wake up by Miranda, and when she gets up to herself, she decides to walk around the Duke of Keller Mansion after breakfast as Ray, who has nothing to do in particular.

Also, Miranda told Miranda to give me the clothes she was wearing at the party and Miranda came to pick them up yesterday before going to bed, just like new ones later.

For Ray, Miranda's feelings were more than happy but complicated than wearing those clothes meant attending a party hosted by a nobleman.

Nevertheless, I'm pretty sure I did say thank you in the end.

For that reason, this is how it is now...

"Grrrrrr! Grrrrrrrr!

I enjoyed the walk with Seto, who throats happily.

There's no better way to walk in the mansion than with Seto.... Most importantly, given the size of the mansion at the Duke of Keller, it's enough for Seto to walk around, but it's natural that he doesn't want to go inside considering the times when he still has to.

Also, even if the Kelp Duke's mansion is large enough to allow Seto to walk around normally, given what happened, that could be two dances when he broke the stables to intercept the opponents he had previously raided.

I guess that's what makes me think that, because I'm still thinking about what I've been thinking.

(Besides, Seto seems more fun out there, too)

Seto would prefer a place where he just has a big body and doesn't have to worry about his surroundings.

... although Seto also likes to play with people.

"Yellow too, are you sleeping with Elaine by now?

"Grrrrrrrr"

To Ray's words, Seto says yes, and he rings his throat.

Ever since he was welcomed as a guest at the Duke of Keller's mansion, Yello has spent quite a bit of time with Seto.

Even when I was in Gilm, Yello spent a lot of time with Seto...... I guess it also has to do with the fact that this is the Duke of Kelp residence in Anesis, or the house of Yello.

If you try to make it yellow, it's like Seto is coming to visit you at home now.

Besides, if this was the first time, there was no way Yellow wouldn't welcome Seto.

Yellow, though, is still a child, too.

My favorite friend...... I enjoy being with Seto, who can be hailed as my best friend, but I naturally wanted to be with my mother Elaine as well, so to speak, who created me.

"Did Seto also, after all, enjoy being with Yellow?

"Gru!"

To Ray's words, Seto squeals with joy.

I loved Ray Seto, but naturally there are other people I like besides Ray.

That's why I was so happy to be able to play with the Yellow.

As I walk through such an exchange, I inadvertently hear a tempered voice.

It sounded like Ray, so I guess that sounded like Ceto too, naturally, but Ceto didn't look like he cared about it.

Ray also found out that he was listening, so he didn't particularly care about the area and proceeded towards those who heard his voice with Seto.

(The voice you hear is an unfamiliar voice. At least you're sure you're not from the Knights of the Duke of Kelp. And most importantly, you're taller... young?

Neither does Ray fully remember the voices of all of the Knights of the Duke of Kelevel, but he still has experience in mock warfare with almost everyone.

Beyond that, if it was the voice of the bearer of such a temperamental voice, it would not have been strange to recall who it was the moment you heard it.

"Well, I wonder who"

Especially not that the owner of the voice had any business.

Not for the record... but it definitely caught my interest this way.

(Are you a guard? No, well, even the guards will train. It's just that it's only one voice you hear like this)

If the guards are training, that's how many... in some cases, dozens of voices have to come out.

But what Ray and Seto hear from the way ahead is only one voice.

Proceeding through the garden of the Duke of Kelp residence… Eventually, I saw the sight.

Again, I should say, only one man came into Ray's sight.

No, that would be better described as a boy, or a child, than as a man.

Feels like from Ray's eyes, age is still around ten or so?

It was convincing considering that no matter how you look at it, you don't look like a guard, and at the same time the reason for the tall voice you've heard hasn't changed your voice.

Nevertheless, even a kid who hasn't had a voice change is serious as far as how he's doing his archery.

It's obvious from the side that it's not a child's play.

"Yeah, hey, whoa!

The child sticks out sharply the spear in his hand as he puts in a voice of temper.

That appearance, though not very sophisticated, would be worthy of the expression Ning Ro Awkward.

But...... the expression was still serious in itself, which showed how serious the person was in the spear archery.

"Gru?"

Seto rattles his throat at at Ray for watching such a child.

Are you still here? And that's how I show it.

If you try Ceto, you'll naturally think that you want to take more walks with Ray because it's a corner.

"Oh, right. Then... hmm?

Shall we go somewhere else, then?

That's what I tried to say, Ray, but I realize the voice of the kid I heard earlier is gone.

Ray, who casually turned his gaze to you, saw a child looking at himself with his eyes shining for some reason.

In that gaze is respect to the intense.

Why are you looking at yourself like this? I didn't think so, but I reckon it would be strange to be directed at such a gaze at the point where I have an alias in the first place.

"Oh, you know, it's Mr. Ray in deep red!

"Right, that's what they sometimes call it"

It would still be Seto's presence that the child recognized the person in front of him as Ray.

Ray now wearing a dragon robe hood is hard to admit as far as I can tell from the side is Ray.

But if you see Seto next to such a ray, anyone who has heard deep red rumors will be able to recognize it as Ray.

... but even if I heard a rumor about Ray, whether or not I believe it honestly is another story.

Fortunately, however, the child watching Ray in a respectful gaze seemed to have nowhere to include.

"The...... mock fight last time, I saw it. It was amazing!

Says he saw a mock fight, and he trains spears in the garden of the Duke of Kelp residence.

Given that, it's obvious without having to think about what this child is like.

If you're just saying you saw a mock fight, that's not surprising to be the inhabitant of Anesis.

But if you're here, that would naturally be an aristocratic associate.

(A nobleman invited to a party yesterday stayed at this mansion for some reason, that kid...... something like that?

Probably not wrong. With anticipation, Ray tried to say something about it, but at that moment Seto sees behind it.

To that abrupt action, Ray stops opening his mouth and turns his gaze to you again.

Still, he didn't look alert, probably because Seto looked just like he usually did.

To Seto and Ray's behavior, the child also follows that gaze in a strange way, but I don't see anything there.

But...... then a few seconds. Eventually, I could hear someone running footsteps.

"Leodanis?"

Yes, it was definitely Leo Danis who was there.

Of the Knights of the Dukes of Kelevel, the one closest to Ray...... and the one who wouldn't be strange to affirm so.

The Leodanis approaches the Rays with a gentle rough breath.

"Damn, it would be nice to go for a walk, but I'd have trouble if you didn't at least tell someone which way you were headed."

With dissatisfaction, Leodanis approaches the Rays.

Looking at Leo Dannis like that, Ray turned his gaze toward the kid.

That this kid, who has been training spears so far, would definitely be more tired than Leo Dannis, who has been running a bit.

The child, who is gazed at by Ray, does not know why such gaze was directed at him, but manages to put up with his breath, which tends to get rough, and puts his neck up.

I know you don't want to show weakness when you're with Ray. He was a child, but even if the roughness of his breath manages to endure, he can't hide the hot air drifting from his body.

(Is that what you call hot air in these cases?

It was Ray who felt such a doubt, but Leo Dannis opens his mouth towards Ray like that.

"You got a minute? I should have let you know if I could."

"... don't have a subtle bad feeling"

From previous experience... or from the influence of comics, novels, cartoons and other things I read when I was in Japan, Ray has such a subtle and unpleasant feeling about Leodanis' words.

But Ray understood best that the option not to listen to it in this situation also did not exist again.

Ning Ro, if you didn't listen to anything in this situation, that would mean that the worst future awaits.

There was a feeling in Ray that I would just be so sure.

Leodanis asks Ray what he thought of Ray's attitude, with a slight grin.

"So? What do we do? As far as I'm concerned, can I just keep going home?

"... I get it. Let me talk to you. I'm going to get into a lot of trouble later if they keep coming home."

surrender, against Ray telling him like that, Leodanis opens his mouth with a satisfying grin.

"Huh, that's fine. Let me tell you something."

Ray was slightly frustrated with Leo Dannis saying it subtly with great words, but still decides it's better to listen to Leo Dannis now, encouraging him to stay ahead of the story.

"So? What do you mean you should have told me? As far as you're concerned now, it sounds like a lot.... If it's a matter of not pulling this far..."

Don't put it in your mouth any more, just make me laugh, Ray.

But that's the attitude that scares me if I try to make Leo Dannis.

I was wondering what the hell they would do if it was information that really wouldn't interest Ray.

Wasn't it a mistake to hit Ray with that dissatisfaction just because they let him look around scattered?

I think that way for a moment, but that's already too late.

Whatever you say now, you can't pull back under the circumstances.

"It seems that the Marquis Seysor family has been moving around quite a bit since last night. That's a lot of people out there, too."

"... the Marquis Seysor family?

Surprise.

That would be the look on Ray's face right now.

I don't think it's that surprising, but the first thing I felt was that it was unexpected.

"Oh. Since after last night's party. Precisely since the head of the Marquis Seysor family returned to his mansion...... and so on. But I'm not sure because I'm a listener."

"People listen, right? Still, the information is information.... I see why you've been looking for me."

It is quite clear that Ray could have rubbed it with Geiska of the Marquis Seysor family.

More than that, there was no reason Ray would not be interested in the circumstances of that Marquis Seysol family.

... but what happened at the end of the day.

If you don't know what's going on around here, it doesn't make sense.

"So, there's nothing about more information around it? If I could, I would have asked for more information."

Ray, who asks while staring at Leo Dannis, returned to it acts like shaking his neck to the side.

There is no information gathered at all in the current situation.

In the first place, the matter is too suspicious at a time when the Marquis Seysor family moved in secrecy.

I guess I didn't want anyone else to know about this behavior if I could because they understand that too.

But this is how it ended up in Ray's ear.

"Since Zaskar returned to his mansion, has his movement been enlivened? For example, I can think of…"

Some information is organized in Ray's head.

Zaskal himself seemed to want a relationship with himself.

Beyond that, when it comes to moving on a scale that Leodanis just says... there are not many possibilities that could be considered.

And most importantly, the most troublesome thing I can think of in the current situation...

"Did Geiska, who is being made to be cautious, even escape?

Half-intuitive, Ray derives the right answer.

... Though that's only an intuition, and Ray didn't know if it was actually true.
