Legend

1853 words

The night I received the gem as a reward from Lemuria...... Ray couldn't sleep wondering and was sleeping on the bed reading a book.

This book was borrowed from a library in the residence of the Duke of Keller, which Miranda used to say.

I didn't lend books to my servants, but in Ray's case, I was specifically granted a loan because I was treated as a guest of the Duke of Kelp.

Naturally, if I defiled or broke this book, I was promised compensation.

All in all, that's how I borrowed the book, but for Ray now it was a substitute for the outfit as a leisurely ingredient.

... Although the content of the book was not a comic book or novel, but a practical book, as Ray had been reading when he was in Japan.

What Ray borrowed in that was a guide to dismantling the monster.

I've seen something similar before, and I've bought it, but it wasn't the same book Ray had ever seen in this library.

In other words, it depicts a way to dismantle a monster that Ray doesn't know yet.

That's all I wanted to say, thank you to Ray.

It's been a few years since I've been in this world, but I wouldn't even say that dismantling monsters that were bad enough at first to be no more, is now good... but I'm able to do it to some extent at once.

But that's only to some extent, and it's inferior compared to the marina who did the adventurer before becoming an Alliance Master, Bühne, who has challenged the dungeon by herself since she was little.

Ray knows that too, so he was studying after watching his spare time so that he could get a little more skilled at dismantling.

"I see, are you going to try to slip your bones and cut them? But... does it work as well as I say?

Convinced yet slightly doubtful about the way in which the monster of giant boars, written there, exists only deep in the mountains, is dismantled.

Nevertheless, I guess it's never more wrong than it says in the book this way.

That's what I decided...... and stop the hand that turns the page of the book.

But it's also for a moment.

Turn the page again immediately and proceed to read the book.

"Is that a monster of a sasori?... It looks like poison or something, and scissors look troublesome. However, the meat seems to taste pretty good. Well, it seems that its flavor will increase the more it originally became a high-ranking monster. If it is also a Rank B monster, is it still natural for it to taste good?... What do you think?

Don't stop reading the book, Ray tells.

I'm in this room, despite being alone with Ray.

Miranda, who was in charge of Ray, is now out for another job.

Even though I was in charge of Ray, it doesn't mean it's just Ray's exclusive maid.

If there was anything else busy to do than be so, it was natural to be called over there.

No one should have reacted if Ray had asked that, more than it would have been in a room where Ray was the only one.... Yes, if it's only what it is, it's about.

……

The person, who was in the room at some point, just looks at Ray silently.

Ray also turned his gaze to you when he closed the book he was reading to meet the gaze of such an opponent.

Hair color is silver hair.

It was a different color of hair than when I first saw the person, but that doesn't surprise me.

Because the second time I saw her, her hair was already silver.

"You still have silver hair.... Could you be dyeing your hair?

He was Ray, who had such doubts, but the silver hair of the black wolf at the end of his gaze is not as unnatural as dyed.

... Even when Ray lived in Japan, some people dyed their hair if they were high school students.

I watched the sight of the teachers of life instruction paying more than once, but the color of the hair of such people was still somewhat uncomfortable.

That may have been because Ray remembers when the dyed person's hair was black.

Also, Ray didn't like to be told a lot by the life instruction teacher, and given the hassle of re-dyeing her hair if it stretched out, she didn't have any trouble with it.

All in all, Ray wasn't very familiar with hair dyeing, but still, from Ray's eyes, the silver hair of the black wolf didn't seem to be dyed.

I'm not familiar with that hand Ray, so maybe it's so cleverly dyed that I simply don't know, or it wasn't in Japan - at least Ray didn't know it existed - though something like magic and magic items are used.

"For a little while, why don't you say something? I didn't say anything before... but it doesn't mean I can't talk, does it?

That's what I asked Ray, but as usual, the Black Wolf didn't say anything, just staring at Ray.

(This guy's really an assassin, isn't he? Not very much, but he doesn't look like that kind of guy)

In the first place, the assassin that Ray knew, even if he would observe to explore the subject's gaps, he would come to the immediate side of the subject... so he wouldn't attack.

No, if it's when your identity isn't known to the other person, it's not strange to imitate it like that... but now Ray already knows that the Black Wolf is an armed assassin.

(Oh, but when I was a beacon before this, did I attack you once?... I dazzled him immediately as he was)

That's all I thought about and Ray had something to come up with.

"Maybe you're not attacking me... because there was something wrong with the Marquis Seysol family?

Leo, Danis told me about the suspicious behavior of the Marquis Seysor family.

I didn't know why in the end, but according to the information Ray got, he's looking for something.

Isn't that what this has to do with black wolves?

It should never have been an out-of-the-box prediction.

In the first place, the only thing Ray can think of at the Marquis Seysor house right now that would move people in such a hurry is the case of Geiska, who must have hired a black wolf.

... The possibility that the Marquis Seysor family had some trouble that Ray did not know, just a house of great speech and influence among the aristocrats, can never be denied.

Either way, the most suspicious thing in the present situation is definitely the black wolf in front of you.

……

But the Black Wolf doesn't do anything to answer Ray's words. Just watch as silently and still observe Ray as ever.

At first I also thought you were spying on your gaps, but as far as the black wolf is concerned, that's not how it looks either.

Keeping staring at each other as it is, for a few minutes.

Eventually Ray opens his mouth, as if he had lost his roots.

"Hey, you. What do you want after all? Didn't you come here to kill me? And for that, nothing in particular is going to happen."

……

"Did Geiska do something or something? So now you can't give me a fling?... Didn't I?

I'd ask the Black Wolf that in a way like for once. It was Ray, but as usual, the Black Wolf doesn't give back any response to Ray like that.

Ray opens his mouth to such a black wolf as if he eventually lost his roots.

"You know, I'm telling you, I'm not free enough to hang out with you forever, okay? You're not willing to fight me, can you make that area clear? In the first place, I'll be gone from Anesis in a little while. So you know you won't be able to do anything like raid me either?

Ray couldn't figure out why he was imitating what he called advice to the Black Wolf.

If I were you, I'd be in front of someone who's after my life.

If so, that's why you don't have to bother giving this advice, you just have to knock it down.

Ray also understands that the Black Wolf is not his half-breed opponent in one case when he was on the veranda.

Still, I was convinced that if I really fought, I could win.

If so, I just wish I hadn't bothered to imitate it like this with advice, but I would have knocked it out with my own hands directly... for some reason, I didn't feel like doing so.

Of course, Ray doesn't think that the black wolf in front of him is a harmless opponent of humans and animals.

In the first place, he was a black wolf standing still in front of Ray like this now, but it's not like he's an innocent opponent.

The day there was a festival named Simulated Battle... Ray didn't even know if it was to confirm his strength or if he had any other reason, because he imitated more than ten people with drugs to beat Ray.

Ray and Seto at that time, Ray Leodanis tells us that many of those whom Bruit defeated died and those who survived are now suffering from the aftermath of the drug.

I wonder why Leodanis, who was on a date with Miranda when that incident happened, knows such circumstances... he still belongs to the Knights, so I guess that's where the information came from.

……

Whatever Ray says, in the end the Black Wolf just looks at Ray silently.

Before such a black wolf, Ray feels his struggling heart disappear more and more from within him.

It's definitely the assassin in front of us.

That's what I came to kill myself.

In spite of this, why do you act so sweet yourself?

That, I guess, is still in the attitude of the Black Wolf.

I'm definitely attacking myself, but I still can't be hostile for any reason.

That's what makes it seem so much easier to antagonize a nobleman who doesn't care than to antagonize a black wolf in front of you.

(Maybe that's what the Black Wolf is capable of? hostility towards this one...... no, try not to make me feel hostile or something like that)

I didn't think so, but Ray had never heard of such skills, magic items, or magical beings.

... but it's not like Ray knows all the magic, skills, and magic items in this Elgin.

No, Ning Ro. There will be more things you don't know.

In the first place, the Black Wolf can disappear from the spot without Ray detecting any signs.

Even this time, it didn't sound like the door could be opened, but the Black Wolf was inside Ray's room.

Still, I was able to detect the signs of the black wolf, even if somehow, because by encountering the black wolf many times, I was able to do something that was familiar to some of the lay?

Either way, fight it or not, what means the Black Wolf is freely showing up or disappearing was a substitute for Ray to keep his seeds unveiled.

... and Ray mouths his thoughts when he sees the black wolf still staring at himself.

"Hey, Black Wolf. Can you just disappear or show up so you don't notice me, like, the effect of a magic item or something?

That's really just an idea.

If it's normal, there's no assassin who talks about his abilities.

That's why it's probably no use, but if you just want to give it a try, it's fine... and that's what I asked Ray...

……

So I'm surprised to see that the black wolf shook his head sideways, even if it was silent.

No way, because I had no idea the answer would come back that way to my question.

"Uh, for once I ask... I'm not out or disappearing because of the effects of magic items. That's the kind of recognition you need, isn't it?

To Ray asking, the black wolf nods back.

Seeing that, obviously, the Black Wolf was answering Ray's question.

Why are you answering my own questions here?

That was Ray's pure question.

I know, as a matter of course, that the Black Wolf is after me.

Why bother teaching your abilities to someone like that?

I don't know why, but if you still give me information from the Black Wolf, I don't have a hand in not using it.

"So, magic or something? But it didn't look like he was chanting a spell."

To Ray's words he asks, the black wolf again shakes his neck to the side.

It's not a magic item, it's not magic.

In that case, there is only one possibility left to be considered. I mean...

"Is that your skill?

Black wolves nod without any hesitation at such Ray's words.

"... right, skill"

Ray's words had an unfortunate color, probably because he thought that if they were like magic items, he might be able to take it away from the Black Wolf.

Looking at the black wolf now, I really can't think of it that way though.

Still, maybe...... and I think that way was a natural story if I tried to make Ray a hobby for collecting magic items.
