Ray, who received the Wind Demon Ore, but soon afterwards an unexpected word leaks out of Liberté's mouth.
"Ray, I can say it's your symbol, a tornado of flames. I'd like to see that... Can you show me that?
"... Huh?
Ray, who didn't think such words would come out of Liberté's mouth, had a voice that he could describe as missing between.
In fact, many who were in this room besides Ray had a surprise look at Liberté's sudden suggestion, so it's clear that wasn't what was planned from the beginning.
But as for Ray, even if his opponent is Elaine's father Liberté, there's no way he can snort at this suggestion so easily.
Fire whirlwind is one of Ray's hands.
Unlike the Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor, there are many who know, but in the case of a fire whirlwind, it is not the kind of attack you can manage because you know.
I'm not saying it's impossible to deal with it personally because the tornado of flames moves around freely...... but it's terribly hard.
If that's the kind of adventurer with aliases or something out of the standard like a Rank S adventurer, I might be able to do something about it.
Because it's definitely not something that can be easily exposed to people.
To Liberté's request, Ray opens his mouth to say no... but before Ray utters the word, Liberté spins it again.
"Of course, let's pay the reward. A barrel of wood containing Wind Demon Ore, previously stored by Ray. Put another one of the same on it.... What do you say?
unexpected...... no, a reward like you could call it broken.
It was Ray who tried to snort half-reflexively at Liberté's words, but that reward makes him a little calm.
"Why did you suddenly do that? Besides, I think it's a little overpaid."
"Not really, I think this is a fair reward for Ning Ro.... No, maybe you don't know this kind of thing because you're in person. If you have a glimpse of the tornado of flames that Ray uses, that will be the number of people who will pay more than I pay."
"... is that what it is?
"Uhm. Besides, I'm not the only one showing Ray's flaming tornado. I would also like to show the knights serving us and some nobles. If you think about it, I think it's cheap to buy a barrel of Wind Demon Ore."
"I see. Is that what you're after"
If it's normal, it's not funny that they make a spectacle of their trump cards.
But as for Ray, who figured out what he was thinking in Liberté's words, he understood and convinced some of Ningro Liberté's thoughts in those words.
(Perhaps some aristocrats have the Marquis Seysor family)
In one case yesterday, the Marquis of Seysor has undoubtedly made a great debt to the Duke of Kelp.
Even in a city ruled by those who lead the faction to which they belong, they moved the Marquis Seysor's forces.
In some cases, it is not surprising that the Marquis of Seysor supposedly sold a fight against the House of the Duke of Kelevel.
On top of that, they do an intimidating imitation of showing off a fire whirlwind, so it will be certain that the Marquis Seysor will not be able to lift its head to the Duke of Kelevel for a while... in some cases for decades.
At this time, Ray's feelings were different from those of earlier, and he was leaning toward whether it was okay to use a fire whirlwind.
(Besides, if you can get another barrel of Wind Demon Ore, what will it look like when we use it together in a fire whirlwind... you can also see that)
You don't have to use a barrel of it all to try the effect of Wind Demon Ore.
That's what I'm trying, so half a barrel... in some cases I wouldn't mind a quarter.
Think so... eventually, make a decision.
"Okay. I'll take care of that."
"Right! That helps. I wanted to see the fire whirlwind with my own eyes for once."
"So? When will you do it? I can't stay in Anesis forever either."
"Uhm. So today we're going to... So what do you say?
Coming out of Liberté's mouth was a totally unexpected word for Ray as well.
Regardless of what you're asking me to show you the fire whirlwind, I had no idea Ray was going to say it today.
But if you're going to keep doing this today, it's where you want it for Ray, too.
It's not like we're leaving Anesis tomorrow, but it's because we decided that we should still get the fire whirlwind thing done as soon as possible.
"Okay. So, today's the day to come."
"It would help if you did. … but if you're going to call it, it's going to be after dark."
"I don't mind that. I mean, it would be more flashy after dark than just doing it poorly in the light of a flaming tornado."
Ray woke up for about three o'clock in the afternoon long enough.
And now it's before 4: 00 p.m.
In such circumstances, it is necessary to contact the Marquis Seysor and other aristocrats who still remain in Anesis, to gather the Knights of Kelp and even to inform the key players that a fire whirlwind appears outside Anesis.
If it were the Knights or the soldiers, if they hung up the assembly, they would gather right away.
... Though many people will be dissatisfied today because they have thoughts about training and getting the job done.
But compared to such knights and soldiers, nobility does not immediately gather together because he told them to come.
That is even the order of Liberté, who leads the aristocracy.
It would be quicker to come than it normally is when you call it, but the nobles also have business to do themselves.
Especially the aristocrats who are still in Anesis today, many will remain to negotiate with other aristocrats… or merchants, some of whom are currently just in the middle of doing so.
Tell such nobles to come soon, but there is no reason to say yes.
Most importantly, the Marquis Seysor is the exception to the fact that he owes a great deal to the House of the Duke of Kelevel.
"Uhm. Okay, let's get ready right away.... If you're a nobleman, it's okay to say only those who can come and see you in time."
"I don't know that area, so I'll leave it to Master Liberté."
Thus, Ray was to have a fire whirlwind in an unexpected place.
It's already time to go around 5pm, but the sun falls and the moon and stars float in the night sky, as is natural in this season.
In that situation, Ray stood a little further from Anesis with Seto.
Naturally, Ray and Seto are not the only ones outside Anesis, but a little further away are Elaine, Ara, Liberté… and even Arcadia.
There was even the figure of Filma leading the Knights of the Duke of Kelp as an escort...... there were other figures of knights and soldiers.
Naturally, they are not the only ones in the Dukes of Kelp.
Starting with the Marquis Seysor family, time has come to its convenience - or I have been forced to do so - and there are figures of the nobles.
If you were told that you could see Ray's trump card, or the tornado of fire, which is synonymous with it, it was only natural that you would try to see it as much as possible.
"No, I didn't think you could see the tornado of fire directly with your own eyes,"
"Absolutely. We were lucky to stay in Anesis, even though we had something to do with it."
"Considering that, I'm sorry to hear about the people who just returned to their territory."
"I came here half forcefully to wrap up negotiations with people I know, such as myself.... I would have liked to negotiate a little more firmly."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. It's not an experience."
In that way, the nobles who were able to come to this occasion rejoice in each other's own good fortune.
The nobleman, who forcefully summed up the negotiations, also says bittersweet things in his mouth, while his expression has an irresistible curiosity about the fire whirlwind that can be seen from now on.
In that, one man gets out in front of everyone.
I knew immediately who the person was because of the bonfires around them.
The person who gathered so many people this time... is the Duke of Liberté Kelevel.
"Everyone said they suddenly called, but they got together a lot. This time we all got together because Ray... I'm going to use the reward I paid for Deep Red and try to use the tornado of fire, so I'm going to show it to you too, and I was going to show it to other interested people anyway."
I would have told you so, Liberté, but naturally, if the nobles who remained in Anesis knew about the disturbances that occurred last night, and I can predict that it would be a reward for that one.
... of all that, there were those who laughed at only one person but felt very bitter inside, but it was obvious who that was.
The aristocrats who were around the person are also softly distant from the person...... Zascal Seysor.
Zaskar can't say anything while he sees such surrounding nobility.
In fact, I'm pretty sure I owed the Duke of Kelp a huge...... too much for this one.
Beyond that, if I said something poorly in the current situation, it could have been unnecessarily unsavory.
Liberté takes a glimpse of Zascal like that and raises his voice again.
"Well. Now it's getting dark and it fits just in time to see the tornado of flames.... Then, Ray, please!
I would have told you so, Liberté, but the place where Ray is is is quite far from where Liberté is for safety.
Naturally you can't hear me calling for a favor, wave loudly the pine light the soldier had, and signal Ray.
Then for a few seconds...... the first thing I felt about it was that I had some experience fighting.
"Is this... the wind coming out?
It is unusual for this season today, and if it is night or not snowing, it is not in the clouds or the night sky, and there is no wind.
That was the situation... I noticed the wind gradually appeared.
The wind gradually gets stronger and eventually becomes a tornado enough to see and understand.
You can understand that tornado as a tornado on a winter night, even when the lights aren't there, so you can see how big it is.
Most of all, some people could not see the tornado even in such a situation… the next moment, if they saw the tornado wrapped around the flame as if it were armor, they could confirm it even if they had a slightly worse eye.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa"
Nobles, knights, soldiers.
Without that distinction, I raise my dismay when I see the tornado of flames that showed up.
... While I raise my dismay, I guess there's no fear there because I understand that that's how Ray can't possibly attack this place with Liberté in this situation.
In fact, the tornado of flames was never like coming towards where the Libertes were, and they stayed motionless from where they emerged.
Those on the spot had been blinded by the tornado of fire... but eventually the tornado of fire began to change its appearance.
"What is this noise..."
I don't know who was the first to say that question.
However, a little after the voice was pronounced, I gradually notice that the others also heard a tall, keen noise from the tornado of flames.
If it were an original tornado of flames, there would be no such noise. There is no such thing as hatred and very few of you have seen the tornado of fire with your own eyes.
Also, even those who had seen it during the war against the Bestian Empire had no recollection of whether the apparent impact was too strong and had made such noises before.
But… even those who did, I could assure you that the next moment the changes that occurred in the tornado of fire were clearly the first to be seen.
Because there were many, many, many blades of wind growing out of places with tornadoes of flame.
Because the tornado is wrapped around the flames, I guess I could see that wind blade in person.
"I thought that was probably the power of the Wind Demon Ore"
Filma, who is gazed at by Liberté, answers so briefly.
Liberté nods back that he was able to affirm his expectation that it was not an irregular matter.
In front of everyone watching that way, the tornado of flames, which eventually grew countless wind blades, moves little by little.
Nevertheless, the direction in which it moved was without Libertés... and without streets, so those watching it were not particularly upset either.
However, the tornado of flames was more than quite large, and I could see it from Anesis... even though Liberté was through the conversation, there was definitely a lot of commotion going on.
