Ray holds my neck down, it was Granger who couldn't move, but he tells Ray to let go of his hand if he really gave up.

But Ray doesn't look like he's letting go, holding onto the back of Granger's neck like that.

"If you want me to let you go, will you answer my question first? You can afford that much, can't you?

"Even if they say so... my body will get cold if I stay held down on the ground in winter in a situation where there is also snow on the ground"

"I guess. However, if you give me your information, I don't have to take this attitude this way or forever.... Well, that's it. What were you thinking, trying to get the redcloth guys to break the dirt wall?

That's not the most I want to know for Ray... but this question was easy to ask to explore whether Granger really had the information he wanted... and whether he was willing to tell himself that even if he had the information.

"Whatever you were told to think about it...... if you think about it normally, you still wanted to put the cobolt inside the guild?

"Why are you imitating that?

"Well... unfortunately, I don't know everything more than I'm trusted that far either."

To that one word, Ray can put his strength into the hand that's catching Granger's neck.

Naturally Granger feels that too, and as it is, he hastily opens his mouth when he thinks his neck bones will break.

"It's not like I don't have any other information. For example... yes, if you destroy the dirt wall, it's probably natural for the cobolts to overflow from it. I was told to use it to destroy the redcloth people."

"... what?

Whether it was an unexpected word that came out of Granger's mouth, Ray stops the hand that was grabbing his neck.

"Why are you taking care of the redcloth people? Aren't those guys using them as limbs?... Well, there's something about getting too famous in a bad way"

As far as Ray knows, the redcloth people were causing a lot of commotion.

In fact, it would be obvious to see that one of the groups that had been staring at each other earlier had spotted him as a redcloth man.

In other words, even if you take any action, you could soon be spotted as a red cloth, which was obviously difficult to use as a handkerchief.

But... Still, whatever it is, it has a use.

If there is such a thing as not being able to be on the table, then it is behind it… there must have been some way to use it in places that are not very out-of-the-box.

Nonetheless, if what Granger is saying is true, he would have been trying to dispose of it by collecting the red delivery that should have been a handkerchief.

"Well, I don't know the details either... but you were leaking a little in the wind because you were used up"

"... used? So, did you get the others to be pawns?

"I don't know about that either. But it's true that they were trying to get rid of them."

disposition and mouth, but that means killing the men.

Still, Granger didn't even show any particular hindsight and told him so.

(Why? Do we need to do a light truncating imitation just because we got a new handkerchief? That's how many uses... No, wait. According to the guards, the red cloth wasn't about thirty. Then, to truncate useless in the red cloth?...... then can you convince me)

I feel somewhat convinced, so I'll put that aside for now.

In fact, if you look at the reaction of Red Buddha when you look at Ray, it wouldn't have been strange to be classified as useless in this case as well.

"Well, you can convince him on that point for now.... then next. Do you have the means to get in touch with the person you requested? Or you can call anywhere."

I was surprised Ray was told he was going to finish off the red cloth, but this one was actually the more accurate piece of information I wanted to know.

Once you know your contact details, that means there's someone there who was behind the red cloth, and it's likely that some way - as far as Ray is concerned, he didn't throw away the magic item theory - will find out how he's calling Kobolt.

That's the information I needed to find out.

... but since Ray can no longer do anything like most cobolts already come into the guild because they built dirt walls, it's not that fatal.

There are no particular major problems flowing towards the demolition site of Giganto Turtle, as the escorts are knocking it down.

In fact, it was very big for Dusker, for the Alliance, and for the inhabitants of the Guild that Cobolt worried considerably less about entering the city.

"Um, that's... I don't want to say it if I can because it also involves my credit issues... can't you?

Yes, it was Granger who asked Ray, but Ray strengthens the power of the hand that grabbed his neck instead of responding.

"Yikes! I get it! I'll tell you, I'll tell you, please loosen up a little!

The grip alone is about to break his neck bone, and Granger tells him so as he panicked.

Most importantly, if Granger's mouth was a little stiffer, he wouldn't have imitated Ray really breaking his neck bone.

Anyway, Granger's finally... he's really finally found it, it's a lead on Kobolt's case.

Beyond that, there was no way to imitate the clues in that corner in such a way as to kill them without hesitation.

... If they didn't answer, it would have been imperative to make them think so.

But fortunately Granger knows for sure how out of common sense Ray is.

That's why I guess this is how I was willing to talk, even if I didn't imitate it so seriously threatening.

"Right. You seem to have listened to me very carefully.... So, let's repeat it? Where's the means to get in touch with the person you asked for, or the place to go to get in touch?

"... the means to make contact is to go directly to the safe house. I just wonder if that's just where I go to get in touch and that's where they really are based. There was little sign of me when I was in that house."

"You be careful. No, given the fact that we hire people, maybe."

If you really can trust me, if you're going to use my own child's men. It wasn't strange, however, to have a place in contact with someone who would only do the request contract, if you had some caution to prepare it separately.

In the first place, they imitate the likeness of luring monsters into their guilds, albeit cobolts.

If they find him, they'll definitely catch him, and he'll be executed.

Given that, the option of not being cautious here... did not exist and was natural.

"What do you want to do? The place I know is just a temporary stronghold. Do you still listen?

"Naturally. Even if that's a temporary base, it doesn't change that it's a base. If we find out who's in and out of there, we'll have a lead on the other side."

"... ok"

Have you decided that you can no longer delude her, Granger snorts heavily, although she remained held on to her neck?

"I'll talk to you, so would you mind letting go of your hand from your neck? If it stays cold, it will affect your conversation."

Lying on the cold ground deprives him of more strength than he expected.

Granger understands that too...... no, I guess that's what I've been saying because I'm feeling it.

(Now, what should we do?... No, that's what I should wake him up to more than trouble if he can handle it now)

Determine so and release the back of the neck you were grabbing.

While letting go, I guess Granger was preparing to react as soon as he moved, still out of his decision to capture him instantly when he escaped.

Nevertheless, Granger doesn't think he can escape Ray in the present situation either.

I was found hiding in full sight.

That's the situation where Ray is in front of you… it's also cold to the core of your body in a situation where you were lying on the winter ground until earlier.

In such conditions, there is no way we can escape Ray.

… but that means that if I was sure I could escape, I would have escaped.

"Now you have nothing to complain about.... So, where is the base where you contact me?

"It's not that far from Slam Street. Do you know a grocery store named Mishun's? From there..."

That being said, Granger will honestly explain the location of the base.

Most importantly, that's just what Granger is saying, and I still don't know if there's actually a base in the described location… or if that's really the base used even if there is one.

"I see.... then I'll be there soon so you can come with me"

"Will you spare me that? I am currently employed. When you talk about your employer's information, you're in a bad shape."

"Even if they say so. I kind of know where you explained it to me, but when I actually went there, I think I need to see if it's really used there... or if it's not a trap?... Most importantly, I think you're quick to worry about what's going to happen."

That's what I told you, Ray, but the word is no big deal or nothing.

It was from someone who was imitating Kobolt into the city... and was hired to understand it.

Naturally, it was certain that handing it over to the guards would be a major sin.

"Can't you manage that area with the influence of an alias? I think it's pretty useful to look like this, don't you?

He was a Granger who tells you how conceited he is, but even with a grin, his gaze has a serious color.

Naturally. If we don't do something about it here, that's why, as Ray says, we don't have a future ahead of us.

More than that, I needed Ray to give me a mouthful.

"Hmm, right.... Then you can think about it a little bit. There's hardly any place I can introduce you to."

What Ray thought of was Gilm's as Dusker's men… and the eggs acting as the ones behind the neutrals.

Many of Egg's men originally had various backward pasts.

The existence behind it, what we need as a so-called intelligence organization, is only capability.

That is why the wear and tear rate is so much higher than there is so much danger and so much risk of death.

That's why it's not uncommon to be hired for such work, even if you have some personality problems… and a dark past behind you.

Nevertheless, it seemed to Ray that it was more suited to Granger that he was confident in his abilities than that if he had arms, he would have no problems.

… although I had no idea whether he would tolerate such a job.

(If you don't want that... you can leave it to the guards for now. That's about all I can offer)

Granger, who was watching Ray think so, gets cold in his spine due to something other than the cold for a moment.

But you still know there's nothing you can do about it in your situation right now.

He opens his mouth with the same grin as before, without giving any expression to such things as anxiety.

"Well, that's what I'm asking you to do for now"

"Okay.... so naturally that means you're coming with me?

"Yes.... I think that's the best choice than this has happened"

If Granger were not just a hired one, but one with a strong kind of loyalty, he would not have easily imitated such things as betrayal...... Hate and Granger are really only hired.

Prioritizing his own safety over his employer was naturally Granger's character.

Not to mention Ray with a deep red alias in front of him and a griffon ceto not on this occasion but nearby.

Until a while ago, I thought Ray or Seto could hide and not be found, whether they were opponents or not able to fight and win... that confidence was shattered.

"Right. Then let's just say we go fast. If you take your time here badly, you could get suspicious over there."

Yes, Ray told me.
