In the meantime, I wonder where the body in front of me was made... and where it was necessary to make such a body, and the Rays return to their exploration in the mansion again.
It is not as large as a mansion in the aristocratic district, but nevertheless near the aristocratic district, which means it is not comparable to ordinary houses.
So it's quite a hassle to look inside the mansion… most of all, the trouble would be that there are still people in the mansion who are after Ray and the guards.
That's why Ray needed two to three other guards to act anyway, and he couldn't really do anything like smooth exploration of the mansion.
"Well, there's still a chance there's something in that study, so it's natural for the guards to look into it,"
There seemed to be nothing else in the study where I found the switch on the wall, as far as Ray looked into it.
But it would be natural to have the expectation that something might come up again if the guards were to look into it.
For that reason, Ray, who left the study to the guards, kept looking for other places in the mansion where there might be any clues.
"Oh, Ray. Hey, what's up?
If you pass in front of one of those rooms, you can speak up like that.
Turning his gaze to those who spoke, there were three guards there.
Ray knew right away that he was looking inside this room.
"I was wondering if you had any clues. I've been looking around a lot and I can't find a place like that."
"Well, the guy behind this one, he's definitely a careful guy. You don't even leave evidence that easy."
"I know that. Still, I don't have too many clues. I found some kind of paperwork in my study."
"Say it quickly. Let me see."
To Ray's words, the guard who was looking in the room changed the color of his eyes... but still tells me so with strong interest.
I was a little lost, Ray, but I give the guards the paperwork I took from the mysteries because I don't have any clues either.
Originally, I should have seen the paperwork with the other guards when I followed where it became a pile of corpses, but I completely forgot about the unusual sight...... to be honest.
However... I doubt it will come to the faces of the guards who were reading the documents.
"What, this. It's not very... but it doesn't make sense."
"You too? It's like a sentence that hasn't been written."
"Cryptography"
That's what the third person who was looking at the paperwork squeaks.
It wasn't that loud, but it still definitely reached the three ears.
Naturally, the voice also reaches Ray's ear.
"Cryptography?... Also troublesome. You think I can solve it?
"This is the place. I can't do this. We need to find out more closely."
"Uh... it was inside a hidden shelf, so I'm pretty sure it's got some important information on it."
With that said, Ray peeks into the paperwork again as well... I can't really understand what's written in the paperwork, although there were only a few words lined up that didn't make sense, or the numbers were written irregularly.
"Yeah, I don't know."
Originally, Ray wasn't good at decrypting ciphers or anything.
That's the simple thing about a sentence on a piece of paper with a picture of a raccoon, like 'mixed' in bulk... if that's what can't even be called a cipher. Still, this wasn't something I could handle with such a kid's degree of play.
"Right? Yeah, I figured you should keep this for Ray. When you're done exploring this mansion, I'll report it upstairs, and I'll give you this paperwork."
"... okay? Some of the guards..."
The guards who were listening knew immediately what Ray was worried about.
I guess that's what you're judging when there's likely to be a traitor.
In fact, if you think about it before, it's only natural to draw such a conclusion, because the guards who came here should have half that certainty.
"I'll make a copy of the contents of this document over here. That way, if anything happens to our paperwork, you don't have to worry. Didn't I?"
"Unless there's some trick on the paper itself."
As far as Ray knows, but I can quickly come up with a blurry-like trick with Micah's skin.
The documents that were inside the concealed shelves, those that are also deliberately written using cryptography, and the other person with unprecedented depth of care.
Given the information on them, it is not surprising that there is some trick on the paper itself.
"... I see. Is it possible? But then you're just fine. I'm not giving the copy to my boss."
"I don't know the area, so I'll take care of it. Anyway, this is all the paperwork. After that... this tool."
When the returned documents are stored inside the mistering, Ray then takes out some tools and thoughts.
But just looking at it, no one knows for sure what a substitute to use.
Ray also thought it was a magic item at first, but there is no particular change in how little or no magic is shed at this point.
"What the hell is this... a tool to use for? I don't think the fact that it was on a concealed shelf is just a decoration or a substitute that doesn't make any sense..."
"Take it from me. I'd rather Ray keep this than know how to use it. Maybe with something..."
I'll need it.
He was a guard who tried to say that, but Ray's ears hear things like screams and anger that can be heard slightly from afar.
That's what I could hear because Ray has sharper hearing than normal, such a slight voice.
In fact, the guards in front of Ray didn't seem to hear that voice, because they were talking about some kind of tool they had.
But even if I didn't hear that voice directly, I guess I knew right away that Ray's condition had changed.
Even if the guards try to look at Ray by surprise... already at that time, Ray was starting to act.
"I'm gonna go for a second"
That's all I say, I leave the room, and I run out toward those who hear voices.
Naturally, the guards who were there, they knew something was going on, and they immediately went after Ray.
... Nevertheless, even the guards who are working out do not manage the isolated physical abilities that end up with Ray.
Ray keeps appearing in front of the guards running down the hallway, and the guards are left behind.
"Damn, I knew it, but can't you handle this difference in physical ability!?
The guards screamed remorsefully as they ran desperately at the difference in abilities between Ray and himself.
Such screams heard from behind are naturally heard by Ray as well.
But now it's better to go help the Lord of the voices you hear from where you're going than to return your words to you.
After Ray started running down the hall, a few minutes.
Something like screaming and yelling that will eventually be heard in Ray's ear sounds stronger and louder.
It was obviously the sound of the battle taking place, and in some cases it was possible that it was just being unilaterally attacked rather than fought.
(No, this is how I keep hearing voices, so it doesn't just mean they keep getting attacked unilaterally. Because we can still make it!
Ray remembered the figure of a man who had his hands and feet strung in such a way that they were pierced by a pile to be decorated next to the painting in a room with a concealed door.
If you just want to seal your mouth, you don't have to do that.
Because whoever created that sight... or performed it did so at his own pleasure.
There were many inconsistencies, such as creating such a sight to seal the mouth, but when I saw the wound that had still been decapitated and torn off my neck, I knew immediately that my arm was good.
... Of course, it wasn't necessarily the person who made the stakeout who was fighting ahead of Ray on his way.
"Found"
Find the scene of the battle at the end of your gaze.
Ray, who saw it, was just a little surprised because he was fighting three guards because he was a woman...... no, a person of his age to be called a girl.
Many people in this world are disproportionate in appearance and strength.
That's what Ray would be typical of.
Still...... in the battle taking place at the end of Ray's gaze today, a little girl, as she seems to be in her early teens, had a long sword in her hand, three guards...... more than interacted with an adult man, so it would be natural to be surprised.
No, you're right that we're not exactly interacting with each other more than we are, we're unilaterally attacking the guards who are thoroughly defending themselves and managing to prevent fatal injuries.
Can't attack them because they are children and are they preventing them?
Neither did Ray think so, but as far as this was concerned, the very combat technology the girl had was definitely above the guards.
In that evidence, the long sword of a girl with a grin who just seems to be drunk on the killing is about to be swung down on the head of the guard...
"Let it!
It activates the eyes of the Nebra on the lower back and produces a few pieces of X.
Ray quickly throws the magic.
The unleashed sword hits the long sword that was still about to be swung down on the head of the guard... changing its swinging tip from the head to the left shoulder of the guard.
It was a blow as if to cut off his left shoulder in half, but still a milder injury than getting hit in the head and killed, I'm pretty sure.
And the girl, the attack she unleashed came off...... no, being forcibly removed, turns off the grin a few seconds ago and stares at the person who interrupted the frustration in the open...... the next moment, she immediately escapes the scene.
I was a confident girl in my power, but still didn't think I could do it decently with Ray, or were they simply telling me to run away when Ray got here?
Ray didn't even know why, but still, the fact that the enemy ran away with me in the present situation definitely helped in the sense that I could treat the guards.
Yes, Ray thought...
"I'll do the treatment over here, Ray, so go after him! He's the kind of guy you're gonna get a lead on, so if you can, you can capture him without killing him!
If that's what the guard who got his left shoulder slashed told me, then Ray can't stop his leg here either.
Throw that rather potent potion out of the mysteries into the still safe guard, and you go after the girl who ran away as she was.
From behind, we heard the guards rushing for treatment, but Ray listens to it intentionally and follows the girl.
"Don't come!
Even the girl would have noticed Ray following herself. Turning his back, he quickly throws the long sword he had at Ray.
But there's such a halfway throw... not to mention a dagger for throwing or nothing. There's no way a long sword can fly exactly towards Ray.
The long sword that came toward me as I rotated flies toward a completely different view, even if Ray doesn't take any particular evasive action.
(It's true that it's hard to run with a long sword, but if you throw it, you won't have the weapon to use when I catch up to you)
Alternatively, it is possible to have the kind of dagger as a spare weapon, but there is no doubt that a long sword would still be more advantageous if you were to fight Ray.
(Well, if they fail to attack on their own, it's easy to do this one... Yikes!
They throw it again.
However, the problem is that this is the inside of the mansion.
I mean, it doesn't feel like the aisle is going straight, it feels like a lot of places are bent.
That's why the ray threw it into the wall without capturing the girl who bent down the aisle.
"Let him go!
Quickly follow the girl around the aisle...... at the same time Ray's eyes see the door close a little further away.
But Ray doesn't imitate moving to the front of that door to open it immediately.
The fact that the door closed at the end of Ray's gaze was obviously suspicious.
That's not surprising if Ray opens the door and some kind of trap activates.
That's why Ray stopped.
Nevertheless, you cannot catch the girl inside, even if you remain silent in front of the door.
Not sure what to do, Ray eventually reaches out to the door softly... and opens the door while allowing him to deal with whatever happens right away.
That's what I thought it wasn't strange for the arrows to fly in, but there was no one at the end of the door, including the girl.
