Legend

"What do we do?

I haven't found it yet, so I can handle the other side no matter what.

To the guards who say so, Ray wonders what he should do.

In fact, if you want to fight, it won't be such a difficult story to control the other side.

In the first place, there is only one force over there, and one of them is taking the redcloth men with a rope.

From that foothold, I know you have some strength, but that's only enough strength to be seized if you're a guard.

Beyond that, if you were going to capture him, you could certainly capture him.

Nonetheless, Ray didn't make the immediate decision to capture him simply because this one case is all kinds of unknown.

Not to mention, from what I'm seeing right now, I'm pretty sure they're trying to do something with the redcloth guys.

As a result, I am certain it will only be a corpse of bones and skins as found in this mansion...

(No, imitating watching guards die where they are is is going to be a hassle)

If you try it on Ray, where the redcloth guys are dead, you won't regret it that much.

I'd even be convinced if they told me it was the result of choosing it for me and acting as a red cloth.

But that's Ray's opinion only, and the guards aren't.

More than some hardliners tend to gather those who are originally thick in their humanity - some of whom say criminals should die - there is no doubt that there are no such options as missing out, even though redcloth is very likely to die here.

"Let's secure it. If he had that rope, he'd know a lot about it."

In the end, that's what Ray chose.

Most of all, if anyone with that rope knows something, they just have to hear it out, so I guess it turns out to be the same thing.

"Okay. But how do we get him?

The only reason the guards say that is because the place where the men came in is so far away from where the Rays are.

That's what makes it all the more likely that a man with a rope will escape, even if he runs here and gets close at once now.

Maybe we can catch him if we chase him, but maybe we can get away with it.

Then what to do...... so think, what Ray said was simple.

"Apparently we're walking towards the center of this space, so if we go to a place where we can't get away with running over there, how about we head to secure it?

"That would be the easiest part. Just think that guy's headed down the stairs where he came from? Possibly heading for another staircase..."

"When that happens, that's how quickly we can capture that man, right?... instead of chasing us all together, should each act separately?

Three guards nod at Ray's words.

Probably because we decided we could capture them ourselves because of the way the man with the rope looked.

"All right, then wait a little longer before we start acting.... I wonder why I'm partitioning"

Second, I feel such a question, and Ray squeals.

It was supposed to be the guard's job, not Ray, to secure the opponent.

But for some reason, it's Ray who's partitioning this place right now.

I wondered about that myself, but one of the guards slaps Ray on the shoulder lightly, looking like he told me not to worry.

"For some reason, Ray has more experience in making quick decisions in these cases than we do. Then it's quicker for Ray to compartmentalize"

"Really? I don't know what kind of opinion I gave, but I think it's a substitute for anybody to move to a place where the guy can't escape and then catch him."

"Still. It helps to have guys like Ray who are used to the field at times like this."

Leaning his neck at the words of the guard, Ray.

If it means being accustomed to the scene, it's not surprising that the guards are more accustomed to the scene than Ray is because they should encounter various crime scenes every day.

I had that question, but if that's what they say. I don't talk about the matter any more, I talk about something else.

"Then will it work for now? They've mostly gone through this underground space."

Normally, if there are Rays in the same space, you won't notice it.

But Ray and the others were trying to hide on the side of the stairs they came down, and because of that, nothing could be found over there.

Except, of course, if the man at the end of Rays' gaze was highly attentive.

Either way, when the guards snort at Ray's words, each moves out.

At first he moves slowly while trying not to be found by his opponent, while walking out toward a man who is advancing to the center of the underground space.

The guards, other than Ray, each with a man in a different direction... that's what goes down the stairs separate from the ones that came down.

That's how it was Ray, who was moving on with the paradoxical behavior of drawing the attention of his opponents and keeping them from finding as much as he could...

"Hmm, hmm, hmm"

The man with the rope was concentrating on his nose with no way of noticing Ray's presence approaching him.

Or, if the redcloth men were sane, maybe I would have told them Ray existed... but unfortunately there is no such thing as self in the redcloth men tied with rope.

Because of this situation, the rope man didn't notice Ray approaching him and the guards at all.

I guess there was also the realization that this place called underground space is an absolutely safe place.

In fact, given that there was a staircase leading to this underground space at the end of the hidden door in the mansion where the Rays were, there was no doubt that it was not possible to imitate such a thing as finding this place so easily.

That's why the guy with the rope thinks so too...... he had the perception that this place was absolutely safe, there was no sense of crisis, and I guess he never thought that there would be a Rays like him on this scene.

... If the information had been conveyed that the Rays were forcibly investigating the mansion, they might not have even known what had happened yet.

But it can be said that the man's misfortune was not conveyed by hatred and its information.

As a result, Ray approaches the immediate vicinity of the red fuda tied with rope...... so finally, the man who was concentrating on singing with his nose realizes Ray's presence.

It wasn't something like footsteps that I noticed, but I turned my gaze to see how Red Buddha was doing while singing a nice nose song, and I stumbled into contact with Ray, where I finally realized Ray existed.

If it was before Ray and the others approached him, maybe they could have imitated him escaping.

However, things like being approached so far were totally unexpected, which is why there was no means at all for a man to escape the scene in the current situation.

"Nah!?

The only thing a man could do was raise such a surprise.

In the next moment Ray strikes a man and succeeds in holding that body to the ground lightly.

The rope is let go by the shock of a man being pulled down to the ground, but Red Buddha doesn't imitate escaping, he just stands there on the spot.

It is also clear from that that Red Buddha has no self.

"Shit, damn it! What the fuck! Let go!"

A man held down screams in frustration, but nothing like Ray letting go of that hand, naturally.

But if you try to be the man who's holding you back, you don't know who's holding you back, and that's why you scream so high.

"Hey, you know who I am!? You think you're just gonna suck at this imitation!

"Well, I don't know who you are, so if you can, I just want you to tell me exactly who you are."

"What!? I really regret it, but I don't know!

The man screams as irritated at Ray's words as somewhere provoking.

Normally, a man would not have imitated this so lightly on Ray's provocation.

However, the fact that they were attacked like this in an absolutely safe place originally caused a situation that was half as close to panic, and the result was a situation like the present one.

"Fine, say it. Who are you? And why would I regret it? No way, you're the one who makes me regret being captured like this without even realizing I'm approaching you... Oh, my God, that shouldn't be the first time, right?

"Gu!"

Do you understand that you were caught lightly by Ray, the man cages his mouth?

But that's just a few seconds, too.

I have a strong feeling that I'm going to go out a little strong and make you regret the person who captured you, and therefore mouth what you shouldn't put in your mouth here if you're meant to.

"Listen, don't regret it! What I serve is a party of kings with strong influence! If you know what I mean, just let me go! Otherwise, even the people you know will end badly!

That, to the light word, Ray even wonders if it might be a bluff or something.

Suspicious opponent to see... It was obviously too much to say what I belonged to to the person I was looking into about this one.

What do you think? And Ray turns his gaze to the approaching guard.

The guards would have heard the man Ray was holding back. He shows only a few doubts, but eventually shakes his neck to the side.

That probably showed that the man Ray's holding on to is telling the truth.

Ray and the others are only here to investigate.

But there's no way the man who's holding it back knows.

That was the mud or something, and it wasn't strange to think so, that if you mouthed your back shield you would retreat frightened.

(Even so, the Kings? Trouble again)

Ray also knows several Kings.

But I didn't think that someone I knew planned this one...

In the first place, the Kings are said to be the biggest of the three factions.

So I asked someone before and Ray also knew that there were several factions among the Kings.

Perhaps it is the work of a faction among kings that Ray has never been involved in.

I think so, but Ray didn't know what he was thinking and imitating like this.

"Kings?... but what about letting the biggest kings of the three factions attack Gilm in Kobolt?

"Ugh! The quality of their souls is bad, so you can't help it!

Pickle, and. Ray sees in the words a self-less red fuda as he holds the man back.

Ray's mouth with Kobolt was meant to be half sickled.

But the man was brilliantly hooked to it and uttered a decisive word...

(Soul...... I mean, was this Red Buddha even meant to be some kind of sacrifice or something?

The assumption that Ray is here to attract the cobolts by the magic items he expected, and is doing things like manipulating them, is completely disintegrating.

Most importantly, the magic item theory was only a hopeful observation that Ray wished he were.

Given that, the method of sacrifice was somewhat surprising to the other guards, but still convincing.

In the first place, though Cobolt, it's not something you can do if it's normal to manipulate so many monsters, and above all, the number of Cobolts.

Even though cobolts are killed day after night, day after day, the number of cobolts coming to the guilds never decreases.

There should have been quite a few cobolts around the Guild, but given the number of previous defeats, it's not surprising that a whole area of cobolts around here would have been wiped out.

Nonetheless, that's what brings Cobolt together in the Guild again today.

Such imitation is not possible first and foremost by normal means.

But if you're doing something like sacrifice, maybe... maybe really, but it's not strange to be able to imitate something like bringing a cobolt from somewhere.

"Hmm. Soul quality. Will the type of monster change around there?"

"Of course not. A corner would be stronger...... wait. Who the hell are you people? Why are you in a place like this?

I guess you thought things were a little strange with Ray and the guards.

The man managed to see Ray's face holding himself by surprise.
