Legend

"We're gonna open it."

Ray speaks to Elaine and Arla behind him and reaches for the door.

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

Such a ray, it was ringing like Seto would support it from above.

... Most of all, the only people who could see it as a backup chirp, like Ray, Elaine, and Arla, who have been with Seto for some time, and it just seemed like Griffon was voicing intimidation for the rest of us.

Either way, Ray reaches for the door listening to Seto like that.

From the looks of the soldiers and knights of the Marquis Seysor, it is easy to imagine that there are countless traps beyond this door as well.

(Like the ground, it would be easier if I could do something magically)

Even so, there must be a large number of documents in this House that I would like to obtain as the Duke of Keller, and I heard that for Ray is also the home of those who lead the organization with the strongest forces in Anesis, and I also had the expectation that there would be some kind of magic item.

In the end, the biggest thing is that I want information about black wolves.

"Well, that's why..."

That's it, Ray opens the door.

Moments, slashing and tearing the air, observing something flying, instantly flashes the death size.

"It would have been outside the house, too, for the arrows to fly. I don't know about the second fry."

"... in this situation, at the point of waving the death size that far, I think it's a lot strange..."

It was Ara who groaned in a blatant manner.

Ray opened the door... I mean, while he was just on the side of the door, he swayed a death size that was two meters long and slashed and threw away the arrow that flew at him.

How much skill does it take to do such a thing... it won't even have to be considered.

But Ray, turning his admiration to Ara, enters the house without looking particularly concerned about it.

At that moment, what drifted away was the smell of intense blood.

"This is..."

Ray's gaze is directed at the floor, which is just a short distance away from opening the door.

What's spreading there is blood, blood, blood.

Probably lucky - or unlucky - blood shed by those who broke through the trap that was set outside this house.

But...... Ray is uncomfortable with the smell of blood drifting.

There is no certainty whatsoever. I don't...

"This smell of blood... isn't it drifting from anything other than this hallway thing?

That's how Elaine squeaks before Ray talks about that discomfort.

To the words, Ray also noticed who the discomfort was.

"That's right. Is this smell of blood drifting from elsewhere? That, too, doesn't seem like fresh blood that just flowed..."

"Huh? Really?

To Elaine and Ray's words, Arla returns the words in wonder.

If you try it on Ara, you don't know if the smell of drifting blood is coming from somewhere else besides the blood in front of you, or if the blood is fresh.

If this had mixed the smell of blood with something like rot, you might also know it was old blood... but I couldn't feel that smell on Ara for less.

But Ara never doubts Elaine's words.

I don't blindly believe in Elaine, but I still don't think Elaine would lie in a place like this.

Not to mention that even Ray, not just Elaine, says the same thing, so I couldn't imitate it to deny it.

"Oh.... the question is, where the hell is this smell of blood coming from? It doesn't mean it's not fresh blood... I only have a bad feeling"

"Hmm. That's a bad feeling about flying, too."

It seemed to Arla that there was definitely something absurd in this House that two sharp senses would say so.

"Then you need to be more careful than ever and move on so that whatever happens can be dealt with immediately. Fortunately, isn't this house that big?"

Ray and Elaine snort all together at Ara's words like that.

This house is quite large, but only large enough to fit within the range of a normal house.

The residence of the Duke of Keller is, of course, clearly narrow compared to other noble mansions in Anesis.

So I looked inside the house...... I didn't think it would take that long to find out what to call even some source of discomfort that Ray and Elaine had guessed.

If this were the mansion, which is the size of the Duke of Kelp mansion, it would have been a hard time exploring inside.

If so, this one case was never a bad one in terms of still looking for a place like this.

"Well, there 'll be traps, naturally, so you'll need to be careful around them."

Whimpering, Ray turns his gaze to Elaine and Arla and moves to the back as the trap may activate again if he talks near the front door forever.

Moments later, Ray draws the Death Size to hand and brings the patterned part in front of him.

Elaine and Arla's ears behind her heard a slight metal noise.

"Ray?"

To Elaine's inquiry, Ray shook her neck sideways saying she had no problem.

While doing so, Ray gazed at the needle that was falling on the floor.

Ray leads the rank B party, Red Lotus Wings. One of those guys, Büne, uses a weapon called a long needle, but it's not a long needle or anything that Ray prevented with a death-size pattern, it's really a very normal needle.

That's the kind of needle that doesn't seem strange when it's used for sewing.

If this were a dungeon or an aristocratic mansion as large as the Duke of Keller's mansion, we would have been able to avoid it without having to bother to imitate it in such a way as to prevent it.

But this is only a normal house, and there's not that much room in the hallway.

And most importantly, now behind Ray are the figures of Elaine and Arla.

Anyway, if it was Elaine right behind Ray, it wouldn't have been hard to do something about the needle that flew to Ray... but still, in case you think about it, Ray was still the best option to keep the needle disposed of here somehow.

(Oh, but it's not like I've been after faces or anything, so if I used a dragon robe, I wouldn't have had a problem with it?

Ray's dragon robe is, as its name suggests, a substitute made from dragon material.

That, too, was not made by alchemists and artisans around it, but is often regarded as the best alchemist of all time, the work of Esta Knoll.

These days, it uses features like simple air conditioning that can be comfortably awesome even in winter and summer, but it's a superb piece of equipment even as pure protective gear.

That's enough to make Ray so sure that he can't even imitate piercing the robe with about a needle blow.

But that's only what I can say because I'm Ray in a dragon robe.

"Careful, the needle flew in, not just the arrow. some kind of medication...... I think it's probably poisoned"

It was Ara who looked more disgusted by Ray's words telling her so than Elaine.

Elaine wears excellent gear, but Ara's gear goes one or two steps lower than that.

Still, just the leader of Elaine's Knights of Escorts, it's a first-class piece of equipment… Still, it's hard to watch out for needles flying from somewhere.

"Are you all right?

"Yes, I will try to deal with these attacks."

To Elaine's words, Ara answers that immediately.

Elaine had also noticed that the words, even slightly, had mixed strengths.

However, given Ara's abilities, it is also Elaine's idea that there is nothing she can't do if that actually happens.

Ara often asks Elaine for standards because she is often with Elaine.

Then, naturally, you feel inferior.

... at the point of comparing Elaine to her abilities, I'm wrong.

But not everything about Ara is inferior to Elaine.

With regard to how tea is brewed, for example, Ara is definitely more overwhelming than Elaine.

"Well, let's move on"

That's what Ray tells him, takes two people, Elaine and Arla, and goes down the hall.

Most importantly, that's all the trap starts if you go down the hallway as a matter of course, but Ray breaks through the trap forcefully instead of releasing it.

Fortunately, the size of this house is not enough to call it a mansion, but if you walk down the corridor, you can find the door right away.

"What do we do? There are several doors, but you can assume that every door definitely has a trap."

If it's a trap like the one set on the ground, I can somehow guess at Ray as well.... although naturally it was only limited to the simple ones.

However, the imitation of spotting the trap set on the door was not very good, but it could not be done by Ray either.

In other words, the door needs to be opened on the assumption that it will hang in a trap to open it.

... doing that role is Ray's role in a high defensive dragon robe, but that's not why I like it and want to hook it up to the trap over and over again.

That's like having a dragon robe in a trap can't prevent it... because that's not strange to blow out some kind of liquid or gas or anything.

"In this case. I think the deepest is suspicious..."

That said, Elaine sees the door at the far back of the hallway.

Following that gaze, Ray nods as convinced by Elaine's words.

In fact, even the comics and novels Ray was reading when he was in Japan, most of the bosses had a lot of depictions that he was in the deepest part.

I can't go along with this world and the comics and novels Ray knows about, but still somehow I felt Elaine's point was right.

Thus Ray agrees with Elaine, and Arla is not going to disagree with Elaine's words any more than there is no reason to have any particular idea.

"Then it's that door. Let's go."

Ray shrugged and started going down the hallway again......

"Hmm? This... no trap?

Second, the moment I walk out towards that door, I realize that the trap is completely gone, and a strange voice comes out of Ray's mouth.

If that's it, that's just a few steps...... on the contrary, in some cases the trap was activated to the point of walking and hit Ray, but for some reason the trap suddenly stopped working.

"Ray? What's up?

That's how Elaine asks me if I questioned Ray like that.

"Apparently, there's no trap from here on out.... I don't know if it was originally set from here, or if the trap was lifted because we decided to go to that door."

I was wondering if I could do such a clever imitation if it were normal. It's not strange to think so.

But once activated and deactivated, the trap is there again in the next moment.

Ray doesn't even know what he can do to do that.

Probably a magic item or some kind of force can be expected, but on the contrary, it also means that's all you can predict.

For this reason, whatever unreasonable events take place in this House, we can only be convinced that they are such.

"Is there no trap? If so, don't worry..."

Isn't there a trap because you don't need to set a trap?

Those were the Rays who questioned me so much, but that doesn't mean I'm still here.

Originally looking for the owner of this mansion, and getting the paperwork related to one thing about the Black Wolf, other than that, it also has the meaning of sanctions for crushing his face with his hands on Ray, who exists as a guest of the Duke of Kelevel family.

"Right.... Then let's go. Don't be alarmed."

It was needless to say, but nevertheless for once I told him so, Ray proceeded down the hallway...... eventually, he arrives at the back door.

Naturally, walking down the hall never activated the trap.

That's how when he arrives in front of the door, Ray turns his gaze to Elaine and Arla, sees them nodding, and then reaches for the door.

It was Ray who opened the door while allowing him to deal with it immediately, even if there was some kind of trap, but it should still be said or deserved, even here the trap never activates and the door opens.

That's how I saw it... it was a splendid room, a deserted room with several pieces of furniture that seemed expensive to see, but no one there.
