Legend

Deciding that it wouldn't make any sense to be in Slam Street any more, and that the knights and soldiers of the Marquis Seysor are gone, the Rays will also decide to return to the Duke of Keller residence.

Nevertheless, the place where the house of Celestial had been disappeared, but whether the anomalies in that space or the existence of a cocoon of meat that had been sealed would not adversely affect anything… and to see if it really died with the Gaiskas, we were to leave some soldiers in that place.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

On the way to the Duke of Kelp residence, next to Ray, Seto rubs his face against Ray as he throats, sweetening.

I guess that's how Seto understands that what happened in that house was pretty dangerous for Ray as well, just as intelligent as he can understand people's stories.

That's why he's so sweet on Ray.

Ray also knows that, so he gently strokes Seto as he rubs his face against himself as he walks down the road.

"You're worried. But... there's no way I'm gonna get hit by that kind of enemy, is there?

"Due to the failure to retrieve the weapon, it seemed rather difficult to fight."

Elaine, who was walking on Ray's side, tells him to tease just a little.

To Elaine like that, Ray tries to say something back... but it doesn't make sense.

In fact, that was because it was an unmistakable fact.

If it was time to go inside the house or down the hidden aisle, it was only natural that Ray did not take out long patterned weapons such as Death Size and Dusk Spears out of their narrowness.

But... when I went out into the vast space where that meat cocoon existed, I had no trouble with the weapon if I had taken the Death Size or the Dusk Spear out of Mystering immediately.

Most likely, at the time of entering that space, the mysteries were sealed by the power of the meat cocoon.

"I'm pretty sure that one thing has been a pretty good lesson.... it's just another story to see if we can make it fully viable."

In front of the enemy, remove the weapon from Mystering.

Besides, the weapons removed are Death Size and Dusk Spear, which is an overwhelming substitute for just seeing them.

Simply acting like that can result in strong restraint against hostile opponents, and in some cases can cause deadly damage to the enemy's warfare itself if it can't beat Ray, who is wielding such a weapon.

The act of ending the fight before the battle begins is certainly very convenient for Ray as well.

It was also very unbearable for Ray not to use the means of attack available at the corner.

"This is not what I can say about the neighborhood. It's what Ray actually decides to fight for.... Nevertheless..."

So once the words were cut off, Elaine exhales loudly as she strokes the yellow on her right shoulder.

"To be honest, I thought this one was going to be a hassle, but you've become more of a hassle than I expected. I never thought this would be such a commotion."

"Right. I wondered what happened when Elaine and Lord Ray jumped out of the hidden passage."

Ara, who was on Elaine's side, is convinced she's smudged.

Even in such a situation, Arla's judgment is not surprising if she is admired because she has no way of questioning Ray or Elaine's words to flee, does not imitate confusion or hesitation, and immediately moves into action.

"It hurts that we couldn't get a relationship between Celestan and the Black Wolf, or a document of evidence that Geiska asked for. I brought the paperwork appropriately..."

Ray takes the paperwork out of Mystering and looks out in the moonlight.

"In the meantime, the paperwork I brought isn't that important. No, well, from what I've seen it looks like some kind of book, so I guess it doesn't mean it's totally useless."

I've never seen anything like the books before, Ray, but I've had several chances to see the books attached by my parents, who are farmers.

The paperwork Ray brought didn't stay exactly like that book... but it looked pretty similar from what I saw in the big mess.

Most importantly, it was only Ray's opinion that thought it seemed like a book, and in fact the Duke of Kelevel family would examine this document closely and determine what exactly it was.

"Mine... well, it's an instruction to some of my men, the executives of the organization that Celestan was leading. This is a beneficial substitute for destroying Celestial tissue, or turning it into a puppet, or using other means."

"... Lord Elaine and Lord Ray can often read the paperwork in such a moonlight"

Words of Ara mixed with a shudder.

Ara is not at all blind at night, but it is still difficult to imitate such things as reading documents in this degree of moonlight.

... I guess it's because of training that it's just difficult and not impossible.

Still, I didn't intend to confirm that on this occasion right now because if I went back to the Duke of Kelp's residence, I could check the paperwork under the lights.

Ray and Elaine also decided that they wouldn't have to read it in a place like this to see how Arla was doing, and stopped reading the paperwork and rushed to the Duke of Keller residence.

"Hurry, huh?... but you've already issued a decree that this operation was a success, right?

"Hmm. But... it was an unexpected ending. I didn't think the house itself would disappear. Perhaps your father, who received the report, is also confused."

In Elaine's words, Ray and Arla each have a convincing look on their face.

The original intention was to tap Celestan to some extent and get the connection between the Black Wolf and Celestan and the paperwork that would prove that Gaiska had asked the Black Wolf to assassinate Ray... as a result, the house itself disappeared.

That would make it more impossible not to be surprised.

Most of all, I was surprised that it ended... because of my position as Duke of Kelp.

It was Ray's expectation that it would probably show some movement.

"What do you think will happen to Celestan's organization? You didn't mean to kill Celestan today, did you?

Nevertheless, it is likely that Ray or Elaine would have killed him, even if he had initially intended to, and given this one case, Guyska would not have.

Given that the original plan was to release the sealed monster and the thought of being as an appointment, it could not even be done in a wind of keeping it alive.

Above all, there was also the possibility that if we kept Celestan alive, we would be manipulated into the ability of the meat cocoon to keep Ray's mysteries sealed.

(To be honest, you didn't think Mystering would be sealed. Even having such means was unexpected. … but this cannot be dealt with in any way)

Even if there was a way to do something about mystering, Ray doesn't know how to deal with it.

Magic items that should deal with certain behaviors...... If it's something like a magic item that increases resistance to poison or paralysis, I know Ray, and I've seen him.

But when it comes to manipulating space and resisting states like sealing mysteries... Ray has never seen or heard of it.

(In the first place, I'm pretty sure the ability itself to manipulate space is very rare.... it would be more impossible to look for magic items or something to deal with that. When that happens, I figured I should get an alchemist to make it instead of looking for it myself?

What Ray came to mind was the person who made the spear of dusk.

If you asked me to make such a magic item than you have a special personality in many ways, I was sure it would be another big fuss.

"Ah, Master Elaine. Apparently, there's been a transmission from the other side."

Ray, who was thinking about magic items, returns to me with those words from Arla.

And when I turned my gaze to Ara's watcher, there was a soldier running towards us.

"Hmm, apparently in a hurry..."

"Considering it was that house, I thought it was natural"

Arla tells Elaine to say so briefly.

In fact, it's only night now, so it hasn't been that big of a commotion, but if this were tomorrow morning, it would definitely have been a big commotion.

Still, Celestan's house was in the depths of Slam Street, which would at least be the salvation.

If this had happened on the surface street of Anesis, it would undoubtedly have been a major disturbance.

"Do you think this one thing is going to be that much of a commotion?

"In the meantime, it must be rough by now in the organization behind it. It would have been tipped off about us attacking Celestan's house.... because in such circumstances, the house suddenly disappeared in a literal sense, without even leaving any wreckage"

Both Ray and Elaine nod back as they were convinced by Arla's words, which she calls smudging.

Just at that time, soldiers of the decree arrived under Elaine.

"Excuse me, Master Elaine. I come as a message from Master Liberté."

"Um. So, what's your father like?

"First, the first thing I was told to ask was if the first report was true,"

"... it's a fact"

Elaine, with a slightly dissatisfied look at the words of the soldier in the preaching, returns so.

If I tried Elaine, I would have only reported what actually happened, but I would have checked again this way because the content was too unexpected.

Nevertheless, even Elaine would have imitated it to see if it was true if she heard that report.

With that in mind, it was also convincing that my father was told to ask me whether it was really an event, not a joke or anything, in the decree.

"Really? Then tell him to hurry back as fast as possible. Yes, Mr. Liberté told me to tell you."

"I see. Hurry up as fast as you can. For Father, I guess this one was unexpected."

Ray doesn't put it into words, taking it for granted, against Elaine, who whines like she was convinced.

It was definitely Liberté who instructed me on this one.

That Liberté would have naturally gathered information about Celestan, but he wouldn't have even known he was trying to unseal that meat cocoon.

(Well, even if I saw how he was, I'd like to unseal it because I can still unseal it... it also seemed like a breeze. Or maybe it has something to do with the death of the black wolf......)

In the end, Ray doesn't even know exactly what relationship Celestan and the Black Wolf were.

But still, Ray, who had a conversation with Celestan, somehow understood that the connection between the Black Wolf and Celestan was not just a business-like relationship.

"I understand your father's request. Okay, Ray. I'm sorry, but I have to go back to the mansion one foot away. When Ray gets back to the mansion, he doesn't mind going back to his room and resting. However, it is possible that some kind of communication will be received from your father..."

"Oh, I'll be there then, too. Nevertheless, I don't think there's much I can explain after Elaine explains it."

"Really? What did Ray say when I was fighting that butler... yes, was it Deotres? You would have fought that man, wouldn't you? If so, it is also possible that Father would like to hear some explanation about Deotres at that time. Especially since Deotres was from the Marquis Seysol."

"Uh... I see. Is that the case? Oh, okay. Then wake me up if you're asleep. Or... should I just hang out with Seto for a little while?

Even while talking to Elaine, Ray was stroking Seto's head.

Such a ceto is true to Ray's words!? and shine her eyes, but Elaine shook her neck to the side.

"It's bad for Seto, but I want him in the room if he can.... it would be more helpful to have them in the room, not the stables, than to know who's going to call Ray"

"To whom, isn't that Miranda? You're in charge of me, aren't you?

"Think time, time. It's not strange that most maids are asleep already at this hour."

So Ray looked up into the sky, and he was moving from where the moon was before he entered the house of Celestial to where he could see it.
