The exchange of information between Ray and the guards will resume immediately.
"So, did you get any information from Red Buddha? That's why, if you look over there, you have information about where we've been, and that kind of information?
If the red cloth was used by those who caused one of the cobolts, it's not strange to have some clue.
Of course, the red cloth does not necessarily have any important information, but it could possibly have important information without even knowing it, and it could be some important clue by combining the information obtained from many, even if it is nothing.
That's what I thought and asked Ray, but what I came back with was the act of shaking my neck to the side.
"I guess the guys who are up to this one were thinking hard about that area, too. I tried to get people to a place where the red cloth had lived before, but I had no clue brilliantly"
Sometimes what's moving quickly before Ray tells me is the main job of guard, but it's also big that my buddy was still angry at me for being attacked.
"I see.... when it does, do you end up shaking it out again? Trouble or troublesome smell? I wonder what the hell is going on. I still can't get a clue."
"Don't worry. Investigations like collecting information once and for all continue here as well. We're better at investigating those hands."
"Uh... I guess"
Security guards, when it comes to Ray's perception of the police...... no, in the sense of waging force in a more direct sense, they are also what we should call armed police.
Even in such a presence, the trust from the inhabitants is thicker than it is true that they are guarding the security of the Guild.
Naturally, not all guards are good beings, but some guards are, naturally, criminalizing behind them.
But still, on the whole, the guards are viewed favorably by the residents.
That is why many people cooperate with it, even if they imitate it like walking by listening directly to information.
"You'll be in charge around here, and I'll take care of it. Given the size of Gilm's inhabitants, there must be clues rolling around somewhere."
"Oh, that's for sure. In the first place, considering the number of people Ray encountered, the red cloth that attacked the people he was watching today, and the number of people who were moving around a lot, it would be quite remarkable to just prepare that many people's food and stuff."
"Besides, a lot of redcloth guys are basically selfish young guys. I don't really think those guys can be adults..."
I was talking to Ray, and another guard tells me so.
In fact, the red cloth is bloody...... Ray also understands that it is a gathering of those who are prone to blood on their heads, so there was something to snort about in that opinion.
"I understand that opinion. I know, but... you haven't found those clues after all, have you?
"... That's right. Well, a red cloth was called a red cloth because it tied the red cloth somewhere in the body, and if you think about it, you can't tell it as a red cloth if you remove the red cloth and pretend to be an ordinary person."
"But the guy who just happens to know it's a red cloth, you know? In fact, yesterday, an adventurer accidentally decided the target was a red cloth, and I knew he was the same guy."
"I guess that's the way it could be.... but you're more likely not to find it than you are to find it, right?
"Given Gilm's population, I'm sure it's more likely you won't find it"
That's what another guard says, and the others snort.
In fact, it's true that Ray also has to be convinced once again if they tell me that one thing yesterday was just luck.
(In the end, there was a big move, but there was no reason to lead to the guy behind this one...)
Since Lenora was in a hurry, I definitely wondered if there was any kind of clue... a bit out of Ray's prediction.
"More than that, the problem... I wonder why the people moving the red cloth noticed the presence of the watchdog."
With an indescribable look, one of the guards squeals.
Ray also understood what that meant.
This means that some of the guards may be connected to the one moving the red cloth.
Naturally, the guards did not want to suspect their companions, but as far as the situation was concerned, it was also true that there was likely to have been a flow of information on those who were monitoring the base over there.
"How long have you known about the lookout?
"If you knew purely, don't be quite the number. I wrote it in my report."
"... then it's hard to figure out who tipped you off."
Some of the guards in the room give an unpleasant look to Ray, who tells him so.
Even though I know that's likely, I guess imitations such as doubting your people are still not funny.
But it is also true that it is most likely, and given the current situation, there is no reason not to doubt it.
(In the first place, if we don't hold on here, if there was a traitor, we'd keep this information flowing over there in the long run)
As a guard, I want to avoid doubting my people.
But if we don't stick around, there's nothing we can do about it.
That's why no matter how much the guards in front of you hate you, Ray will also have trouble if you don't hold on.
Does the guard know that, too, and eventually the guard who was talking to Ray nodded as he gave a bitter look.
"I know. Don't worry about the area."
There seemed to be a lot of other guards around who thought that to the guards who said that, but still, given the current state of affairs, there was no way they could speak out of dissatisfaction.
"Please.... after that, is there anything I should tell you?
To Ray's words, the guards say, 'Then…' and have various and detailed meetings.
Most of it had nothing to do with this one, but it wasn't that important.
For example, what are we going to do with the captive people about the red cloth and the thinkers?
It was the decision that the guards would probably be sold into criminal slavery, to say.
He was hired by Dusker and attacked a guard guard guarding the security of Gilm, so it would naturally happen.
Most importantly, even criminal slavery is considerably less sinful than banditry, so the period of time it is enslaved will not be that long.
That was as early as the end of the year...... no matter how late it was, we should have been free from the status of criminal slaves by the end of next year.
... It would have been different if I had not shown any motivation for my job, even though I had become a criminal slave.
After all that talk, Ray gets out of the jar.
"Well, let me know if anything happens again.... I didn't expect Lenora to come and get me on the horse."
"Lenora?
Many of the guards probably know about Lenora.
You're lying to Ray, aren't you? But there are a couple of people who get that look.
Although Lenora is not very normal, but she doesn't look like someone who rides a horse, so maybe she can't help it.
... I guess that's where the expression "sookie" doesn't come up because I'm very famous for a kind of comic genius interaction with Kenny.
"Oh. To be honest, I didn't know Lenora could ride a horse brilliantly. If they say it's because I'm an Alliance employee, I can convince them."
It is not uncommon for guild employees to carry adventurers far in carriage in some cases.
For the most part, such work will be done by former adventurers or those who work downstairs, but if you are really busy and no one is free, it is also possible that you will come around to the receptionist.
At that time, in fact, I couldn't maneuver the carriage, which meant that I couldn't ride the horse, and if that meant that there would be injuries and deaths that would not have been necessary because of it, I guess that would be absolutely unacceptable as an Alliance employee.
"The Alliance staff is packed with amazing people."
One of the guards squeals a little.
In fact, being recruited as an Alliance employee requires a high level of competence and is exactly the kind of workplace you deserve to describe as a narrow gate.
That's what I would say, if I were to say it's hard to be either a guard or a guild worker, unless the rest of the world doesn't know it, I'd say it's a guild worker.
... It's easiest to be a guard, but the training is very rigorous because of the need to keep the guilds safe, and whether we can continue with it is another story.
"Well, then it's time for me to go.... It'll be tough on you, too, but good luck with that."
"Leave it to me."
That's how we exchange short words, and Ray leaves the stuffing.
In front of the stuffing, the guards were checking the perimeter exactly as they had seen earlier, but they nodded small when they saw Ray come out.
Neither did Ray know exactly what that nod meant.
But he decides that it probably means something to the guards, and he doesn't say a question, he just nods back.
"Gru!"
Seto, who I noticed as Ray came out of the stuffing, approached Ray with joy as he rang his throat.
... At that time, Ray also somehow figured out why I smelled something from Seto's mouth to stimulate his appetite.
Perhaps someone came to love Seto while Ray was talking in the jar.
Most of all, I couldn't seem to love Ceto for a long time because there are guards looking around in a tingly atmosphere a little further away from Ceto like that.
"Did I make you wait? I was going to say," Seems like Seto had enough fun with Seto. "
Normally, it's not strange to be accused of imitating things like making them wait outside in this cold.
But that's only normal, and in Ceto's case there's no problem at all.
That's why Seto can sleep without being buried in the snow at midnight in the middle of winter.
Nevertheless, it is definitely more comfortable for Seto to sleep in a place like a stables.
"Grrrrrr? Grrrrrr!
Seto is happy to throat Ray's words.
Deciding that he must have eaten even a pretty good dish, Ray strokes Seto as he rubs his head on.
"Ohon."
When Ray is playing with Seto, the guard who was in front of the stuffing makes a small cough.
Deciding that staying here with Seto would get in the way, Ray leaves the spot with Seto.
"In the end, we were talking about an attack on a guard who was keeping an eye on the base."
"Gru......"
Seto rattles his throat to encourage Ray, who talks unfortunately as he walks.
Ray strokes Seto walking beside himself, wondering what's wrong.
(Some of the guards insisted that we should have a hard look into that building because the enemy already knew we were keeping an eye on the base... I don't know)
It's enough to attack the guards I was watching, so naturally the important items that were in the base have been taken out, and I don't think there's anything to look into now.
On the contrary, in some cases there will be no denying the possibility that some kind of trap has been set.
Some of the guards said that.
But maybe there's something left to think about, and if they told me there's no other place to look, the others had to convince me.
(If you feel like hiring a bandit... can you detect it before it's activated even if there's a trap? Nevertheless, can I hire a bandit...... no, should I get my hands around Egg)
Some of Egg's men are, naturally, bandits as adventurers.
If so, it is not surprising that the guards should send such persons this time.
"Grrrrrr? Grrrrrr!
Second, Ray gets pulled a dragon robe.
Turning your gaze over there, Seto was there, naturally.
Seto, who pulled Ray's dragon robe in Kutibashi, is pointing that gaze at a stall that was a little further away.
What drifts from it is the aroma that stimulates your appetite.
It was Ceto who got food from someone in front of the stuffing, but still hungry! Seto claiming.
While stroking such a ceto, Ray headed to the stall.
