Legend

Granger had grown up, and Ray wanted to go to the base to get in touch with him for now... but he realized there was a slight problem going alone.

If you're going to step in on the spot, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

But in this case, the biggest goal is to solve the situation by capturing the person who is setting up the Kobolt case.

Beyond that, we need to keep an eye on it for a while instead of going directly into it on the spot.

That's why Ray can't imitate things like keeping an eye on himself.

Because Ray has a lot to do, including dismantling Giganto Turtle.

"That's why we're going to the guard's quarters to increase the number of people we can move over here."

"... what will happen to my safety? Being captured by the guards like this, if you can… No, I'd like to refrain from doing everything in my power."

Granger to tell you so, but I'm not trying to get away from Ray already.

It would be greater in this case than if Seto, who was in a remote place, also rendezvous, was absolutely caught even if he ran away in the present situation, because he understood so.

"Don't worry. You're Egg...... I'm not going to imitate handing you over to a guard because I've decided to hand you over to Gilm's intelligence unit. It's just that if you're still doing weird imitations, you're not talking about it."

Granger snorts at Ray's words like that, of course.

I guess that's what you say because you know that your situation is pretty roundabout right now.

"Then don't worry. Various misunderstandings.... Well, the other side is professional in a way. I know it sounds suspicious, but if I say I'm responsible, it won't be pursued that far."

Guards are the guards of Gilm's security.

And this guild is not a normal city, it's on the periphery and brings together a lot of adventurers.

In order to protect the security of such a place, it would naturally be important to have an eye for finding those who are making strange moves.

If so, then naturally it's no surprise Ray is suspicious about the Granger he's taking.

... It's just that when Ray comes to intervene there, the story changes.

If Ray is to be responsible, he's likely to miss it.

(If anyone's still not convinced, you can tell them it's a talent to keep with Egg.... Not yet, but I'm actually planning on doing that)

Think that way, take Granger, who doesn't seem too keen, and head to the guard's stuffing.

Because one of the dirt walls is spreading from adventurers, the atmosphere throughout the city seems quite bright compared to it by yesterday.

Even though I knew that Guild had the strength to do whatever Cobolt or so, I guess I still had potential anxiety.

But thanks to the dirt wall, that anxiety is gone.

… It is not entirely reassuring because there are cobolts that will overcome it by what means, even if there are dirt walls.

Nor can we ever say that the junction, which usually covers the guilds, is more fully prepared for flying monsters than it is currently unfolding.

Still, I guess the former is still a clearer threat if it can also be a cobolt that will surely strike, as every day, and an empty monster that doesn't even know when it will come.

Proceed through the city thinking about such things… arrive in front of the intended guard's stuffing.

Even if Ray didn't say anything, Seto, who can't get inside the stuffing, slept in an empty place as it was... which is usual, so Ray doesn't even show how he cared, knocking on the stuffing door.

"... I didn't expect you to come to the jar like this."

With that said, Granger takes a deep breath to calm himself down.

And the door opens...

"Yes? Hmm? Oh, Ray. And that's... that's a face you don't see. Is something wrong?

One of the guards who came out the door sees Ray's face and tells him so.

If you try being a guard, you can say that Ray and I are familiar with a lot of things.

Ray's, too, opens his mouth without looking particularly nervous, as the guard who came out of the stuffing was a familiar opponent.

"Something is going on, something is going to happen..."

"Come on, it's gonna be absolutely important when you move, so I hope you don't mind if I do."

"Oh, really?... for example, is that what you're talking about capturing the kind of guys that are calling Kobolt to Gilm by any means?

The moment Ray tells you so, the guard's gaze sharpens.

A few seconds ago, his face as a guard depositing Gilm's peace, not like he was talking to Ray in an easygoing manner.

"Is it true, is it? I'm telling you, it was a joke. It's not gonna happen, is it?

"Oh, that's no problem. Now there's only circumstantial evidence, but you can say it's almost certain"

"... get inside. You're not even talking about what you can do outside."

In a conversation with Ray, I guess he really decided that wasn't a joke or anything. That's what the guards say, telling Ray and Granger to get inside the jar.

Ray went inside the stuffing without looking particularly concerned, but Granger's probably because he's done something dark behind him before. With a subtly unpleasant look on his face, he still couldn't possibly get away from Ray, so he went into the jar heavily.

That's how it was put through, not so much the living room… but the place to call a waiting area as well.

There were five guards standing by, with the exception of those who appeared on the table, and now this total of six were personnel who could move quickly when something happened.

"Hmm? With Ray... what about you?

One of the guards in the waiting room sees Ray and Granger and tells him so.

The tone was also mild as to whether Ray had revealed something, but Ray and the guards who had answered until earlier opened their mouths with a serious look.

"Ray says about the cobolt that's been in question for a while. I hear it's about the killer who's doing it."

The moment I said that, the guard who was listening to me in an easygoing manner would also have a serious look.

Naturally that's not just the guards we were talking about, the same goes for the other guards.

"Is that true?

Ray nods back at that word, which one of the guards asks to confirm.

"Oh. Most of all, the information I brought is only a clue. From there, it really leads to the guy behind the Kobolt thing... and there's no such thing as certainty."

"Tell me more"

Ray, prompted, first talks about dirt walls.

Naturally, the guards also had information coming around from Gilm about the dirt walls, so I don't particularly imitate what I hear about that.

No, I heard a lot about it. I would have done so, but now you've decided that it's better to ask about one of the Kobolts than that.

That he was then commanding the red cloth that came to destroy the dirt walls and their red cloth, and that he was eventually trying to destroy the dirt walls and finish off the redcloth people to the flock of cobolts that came out of them.

That explains the sharp, and harsher, gaze the guards turn to Granger.

It would be a natural act as a guard, because it is obviously something to be called a criminal.

"Wait. This guy is to be deposited with the intelligence organization Master Dusker holds later.... Right?

To Ray, who asks with the meaning of confirmation, Granger returns a nod with a grin that does not change at all when the guard points his sharp gaze at him.

"Yeah. Because I thought that was the best choice.... Besides, for once, I still don't remember committing any sins in Gilm, do I?

At Gilm, the guard's gaze is sharper.

In other words, it was the same because it confessed that it was committing some kind of crime in another village, city, city or other place.

But Ray opens his mouth again before one of the guards tries to say something.

"As I said earlier, this guy is to be deposited with Egg... with Master Dusker. Anyway, thanks to Granger, I got some important information about a Cobolt case. Can I honestly thank you around here?

Even if there is no word for judicial transactions per se, such things are usually done.

More than that, Granger hasn't committed anything particularly crime since he came to Gilm, so I don't know if I should miss this place, Ray tells me so.

Though some of the guards in the room tried to say something to Ray's words like that, the guard who brought Ray so far stopped it...... opening his mouth towards Ray.

"For now, we get it. However, the report needs to be well written around it. I don't know how to tell from reading that... but still?

"Oh, that doesn't matter. I'll talk to Egg from here. That way, we can talk naturally to you."

In fact, the intelligence organization Egg leads is always understaffed.

If you know someone who would be instant, you should definitely talk to your boss… in this case, you should talk to Dusker.

(Well, we talked about not doing anything in the Guild, and maybe there's no problem... should be. Nevertheless, if you're committing a major crime outside of the Guild, that's not the time to talk. Eggs will make a good decision around there. You'll have more eyes on people than I do)

That's what I think Ray and the guards look at each other...... eventually, the guards breathe out small.

I guess I decided to trust what Ray was saying for now.

"Nevertheless, I didn't know there was a red cloth involved in this one.... I didn't see him here for a while, so I just thought he was out of the guild."

I nod to the smudging guard that the other faces agree.

"As far as I can tell about the red cloth I came into contact with, it sounds like you were hidden by a guy who had some good thoughts about Gilm.... With that said, a woman who seems to have something to do with the red cloth I caught before it snowed... what's wrong with that woman? Wouldn't it be strange if she had information about it?

"Uh... I hear that woman was taken to the Lords' Hall and then sent to the King's Capital. Anything, anywhere else. He was having a rough time, and it seems to have something to do with it."

He was a guard who told him that, but from the look on his face, he didn't seem to fully believe in the matter.

I guess it's because we've been through this several times before that the person we captured will be less than some circumstance above.

Dusker doesn't find such an act interesting either, but he still often can't help but end up with the title of borderline uncle or head of neutralism.

"Right. Because I'm a redcloth associate, I thought there was a good chance I knew something."

That said, Ray exchanges the information he knows again with the guards.

The exchange of information was over in about half an hour, and by then the guards, who had not been in the room until earlier, had gathered, listening to Ray.

"... that's why Granger's talking about the other base, maybe disposable or something, but does anyone know that?

That's what I asked Ray, but unexpectedly, more than half of the guards in the room knew.

No, I patrol the city every day as a guard for Gilm, so maybe it's natural to know.

"When it does... what do we do? If the base is disposable, I don't think there's much point in forcibly attacking it, and as far as I'm concerned, I think it's in good shape to keep an eye on the base and tail the people involved."

Ray originally came to the guard's jar for a big reason to ask for it.

And did the guards also agree with Ray, each nodding, and the rank among the guards opens the mouth of the dog Beast Man above.

"Okay. Then let's adopt Ray's opinion. Apparently, that's the easiest way to get a clue."

"Oh, but how about hiring a bandit or someone to break in anyway?

One of the guards tells him so, but the dog beast shakes his neck to the side.

"If the other person is a normal criminal organization, there will be such a means. But I don't know what they're up against, but they're the kind of people who can manipulate the monster... the Kobolt in so many ways. In bandits around there, you're more likely to get caught. And if we get caught, they'll know we're suspicious over there."

I can't argue with that word, and the guards who made the suggestion to send bandits will remain silent.

Probably because of the strong persuasion in the words of the dog beast man.

"All right, no one else has an opinion, huh? Then we'll figure out an assignment soon."

That's how Ray stared at the guards he was going to talk to without saying anything more.
