Legend

Leaving Seto outside, Ray and Vihera, who went inside the stuffing, quickly speak to the guards.

"I was talking about you calling me, what's going on?

"Oh. Actually, the guards are going to do a lot of research on yesterday's mansion and the mansions around it. This time, Captain Langa will also leave."

"... the langa?

Langa is the man at the top of the guard.

I have a strong facial appearance by my tough face and beard, but my personality is mild.

Most importantly, moderate personality does not mean weak langa.

Though, Ray hasn't seen Langa here in a while, so I didn't think that name would come up here.

"Oh. Until a while ago, I was very busy with the construction of the additions, but now it's winter and it's settled somewhat.... I hear he's been busy again lately with the Cobolt case. Anyway, if yesterday's mansion had anything to do with one of the Kobolts, then Captain Langa has decided to leave, too."

"Hmm.... well, that's the place. There's plenty of guard captains out there."

If we are to investigate a mansion near an aristocratic neighborhood, rather than a single mansion, we will naturally need someone to be called a flag to convince the people of that mansion and those of the aristocratic neighborhood.

In that sense, I would say that Langa, the captain of the guard, would be a sufficient flag.

"Oh. I think Captain Langa decided to think about that area, too.... has asked several other adventurers to cooperate. It feels very confidential to trusted adventurers because it's possible that if you recruit them as a request in large part, they'll be known to the other side."

"Hmm. Well, isn't that good? Whether it helps in the present situation or not, a lot of subtle guys do."

Now in winter, many people are large and small and blunt in what should also be called a long vacation for many adventurers.

Still, its strength is definitely higher than that of ordinary people, so in this case it would be a force of war, I guess.

"So, is it okay that Ray can help us, too?

"Oh, I don't mind that.... Vihera seems to be completely concerned about it."

When I told him that as I looked at Vihera, Vihera, who was gazed at, nodded small with a full grin.

"I mean, it's fine because it's me, but I would have done it sooner... in this case, forced investigation? If you don't tell me you're gonna do a forced investigation, it's not normal for you to move as soon as you're told today, is it?

"Uh... sorry. It was all so sudden this time. There's a lot of trouble over here."

That's what I said, and the guard I was talking to Ray bows his head.

Ray, too, is hard to complain about if he is honestly apologized for like that.

In fact, I suppose there are times when I know that things definitely moved rapidly in yesterday's case.

No way, because I didn't think one vicious tentacle would come out after another like that.

"I know you're trying to manipulate and summon Kobolt by some means, but the subject isn't that tentacle.... I honestly feel like those tentacles are multiple, tenfold, and in some cases hundreds of times more dangerous"

Ray's death size could cut it, but there was a corresponding resistance there.

That has never happened before... but it is also true that there has not been so much.

It's Death Size, so if those tentacles are going to show up massively all over the city.

With that in mind, Ray can also understand why we embark on a forced investigation like this yesterday today.

"It will. So I'm counting on Ray."

"I know.... but what would you have done if I hadn't come here? That's what if you had something to do and forgot the message you heard in the guild"

"I actually went through one thing yesterday, Ray, and I don't think that's how I'm going to forget it"

Is that trust, or is it half-witted against Ray in trouble?

Either way, the guards actually thought so, and it's an unmistakable fact that Ray came to the jar this way.

If you think about it that way, that means there's no mistake in the words of the guards who read Ray's behavior.

Was my behavior simple? While I think, I stray from my gaze from Vihera, who is grinning next door, and opens my mouth with half the light hidden.

"So, when are we going to do the mandatory investigation? Like at night so they don't get suspicious over there after all? If the guards were moving in large numbers, it would be easy for them to read our behavior."

"No, this afternoon"

"You're early again. And from such a bright hour?

The wintery clouds cover the sky, but the sun still faces quite a bit out of the gaps in the clouds, and so does the brightness.

In the meantime, if each one is a different geared adventurer, it definitely catches the eye if the guards come together and move.

... Although Ray, who is acting with Seto and Vihera, will certainly draw attention in a different way than the guards.

"It would have been better at night, but if the Rays had found underground space and also seen tentacles, they could have decided it was dangerous and escaped from the guild. … now you don't have to go through the main entrance to get out of the building."

"Once there's a dirt wall built by Ray, it's not hard to get over from the Guild side."

You've seen dirt walls in person, one of the guards tells you so.

In fact, that's not a mistake, the dirt walls Ray built are difficult to get in from outside the gilm and not so hard to talk about if you're going to get out of it.

The dirt walls originally built by Ray were built to prevent enemies trying to break in from outside the Guild, including the Cobolts, and not to deal with those leaving the Guild, naturally.

"When this happens, those on the Guild side should have let the ground sink, too. It doesn't make any sense now."

"Don't worry about it. In the first place, no one expected this to happen."

One of the guards tells me to comfort Ray.

"If you say so, it'll help even this way.... So, we talked about going on a forced investigation this afternoon, and that's not just yesterday's mansion, but what about the other mansions? When that happens, should me and Vihera go to separate mansions?

Regardless of the pink tentacles, given the strength of those who are protecting other mansions and have attacked the Rays, it would be futile to sum up the forces of war like Ray and Vihella in one piece.

That's what I asked, but what the guards came up with was a complicated or subtle look.

"Uh... you know what? We can't see Vihera, so I want Vihera to act with Ray if she can. As I said earlier, there is no shortage of power because you speak to a trusted adventurer."

Even listening to the guards, Vihella doesn't look particularly dissatisfied.

I guess it's because I knew I'd be treated like a troublemaker.

Especially since the guards have sometimes been out in the commotion caused by Vihela many times before, and they would not want to combine with themselves extra.

Most of all, it's not strange that some people would tell us to act with ourselves because it's dangerous to let Vihella go wild. Happy or unhappy, they didn't have that type of guard here today.

It's quicker if you're partying with Vihera and leave it to Ray, who's used to handling you.

Ray and Vihera each nod at the words that came out of such thoughts.

"Okay. If that's all right with you, I don't mind.... Vihera's good too, right?

"Yeah, I wouldn't mind that either. Nevertheless...... phew"

For some reason he suddenly grins, and the guards, as well as Ray, turn their gaze of doubt to Vihera, who also grins happily.

If you thought about the treatment of Vihera, you never thought that it would make you uncomfortable or that you would be in a better mood.

Nevertheless, it's not funny that a guard here asks what it is and as a result they tell me they're going to act apart from Ray.

That's what the guards think... but Ray, who doesn't know what the guards think, usually asks like what's going on.

"I thought I was gonna be in a bad mood. What kind of change of heart is that?

Stop! And the guards scream in their hearts, but that can't reach Ray.

... While screaming in my heart, because the guards also wanted to hear the reason for Vihera's laughter, I look at Vihera, even though I am deeply dissatisfied.

"Oh, 'cause me and Ray are gonna act together, right? Then it's not a date."

"... you've had a lot of noisy dates."

While Ray said that to an unexpected word, it was an unmistakable fact that Vihella was somewhat happy to be told that.

For such an exchange between the two, the guards turn their gaze of fright and jealousy.

It is an unmistakable fact that, even though I have been annoyed by Vihela more than once with my hands, Vihela is nevertheless so beautiful that the expression superb is not enough.

Favor such a vihella...... I couldn't have told Ray not to be jealous as a man that is also directed at the affection between men and women, not friendship.

Most importantly, if Vihera asks me if I want to be directed at such emotions, even if Vihera is an extinct beauty, I have quite a problem with her personality and it would be hard to snort honestly.

Ray, who had such a gaze on him, opens his mouth without looking particularly concerned because he is used to that hand gaze.

"So, when we're going to have a mandatory investigation this afternoon, what are we going to do with me and Vihera, and Seto on the table? There's no way I'm gonna be stuffed all afternoon."

"Uh, right. I don't mind being in the jar. There's nothing particularly wrong with that. Ning Ro, is it that way that there is nothing in particular to be done by this afternoon?

"... you don't. No, I have a lot of details, but I really don't think it has to be today. However, strongly speaking, I'd like to see a bit of what's going on with the dirt walls I've been building on the additional site. I know it's probably okay, but maybe..."

I didn't have to say anything further, but I also understood what Ray wanted to say to the guards.

"Right. You should check it out for once. Probably fine, but that's definitely the easiest place to get out of. … but I wouldn't normally want to go outside if it were the edge of the night or the winter."

"Right. Normally."

Ray goes without saying that whoever's up to this one cannot be considered normal.

In fact, it cannot be said that anyone who imitates the problem, summoning tentacles like that, and consequently calling Kobolt to the Guild, etc., is normal.

I guess that's why the guards also answered meaningfully to Ray's words.

"Then we'll go and see the dirt wall for now. Is that good enough for you?

"Oh. I don't have anything to do with it anyway, and you'd better see how it goes over there while I buy and eat."

"You're the same."

Some of the guards laugh at the word "buy and eat" and say so.

Normally, if you were to step into the base of someone you don't know how to handle, you wouldn't be very appetizing.

Nevertheless, Ray said he would buy and eat as if he had no problem at all.

If you try to be the guards, it would be natural to have such thoughts about how courageous you are.

Nevertheless, Ray has been through so many things in Ray... that's what I've been through countless times.

At this level, appetite is attenuated, and so on.

"Really? You can't fight when you're hungry.... I forgot what country it was, but some of those words. Appetite is important."

Naturally, that is the Japanese word, but there is no way I can say that on this occasion, so I delude myself.

"Can't we fight when we're hungry? That's a very convincing word to say."

As a guard, I guess there was something strong about that word.

"That's why. Anyway, we're gonna take a look at the dirt wall."

That's what Ray said, leaving the jar with Vihera.
