Ray, Vihera and Seto, two and one, each of them start a dish that should also be called a soup to eat, with plenty of utensils as intended, and when they eat some other dishes and fill their bellies, they head to the guard's stuffing.
As always, those who wanted to play with Seto along the way and those who were blinded by the beauty of Vihera continued, but hatred and from now on a great job await them.
We will not deal with such people, but we will head to the guard's quarters with proper words of no.
If you come to the jar that way, there were more guards and adventurers there than Ray expected.
"Heh.... you didn't think we'd get together this far. That's all the guards are taking this one seriously."
"Mr. Ray."
Such a voice can be called to Ray, who was whining when he saw such people as guards and adventurers.
Turning his gaze to those who spoke, there he was a person with a large body that reminded him of a bear.... Not very much, but I don't think so, Langa, whose person leads the guard.
"Ranga, I feel like it's been a long time since I've seen your face in person in some way like this... have you been that busy?
To the best of Ray's knowledge, Langa was in a mood swing by dealing with people entering and leaving the Guild at the gate.
But I just didn't see him like that these days, and I really wondered.
"Well, this one's busy with a lot of things. More about this one…"
I generally understand what Langa wants to say to Ray even if he doesn't say it to the end.
"Oh. If we don't move in earnest, it'll be a lot of danger. If the people who manipulate the pink tentacles you see in the underground space escape... and if those pink tentacles break out all over the city to confuse the guilds when you escape..."
I guess I read a report from a guard who went underground with Ray and figured out the dangers of tentacles by doing so.
Langa's tone and expression seeped deep anxiety.
In fact, the number of adventurers gathered here is quite large, but that's why there should have been a considerably smaller number if that tentacle and how many opponents could cross each other.
(Well, if you're dealing with a guy who's protecting the mansion, you won't have a problem)
Because many of those gathered here seemed to win, based on the strength of the old man who attacked yesterday's mansion.
"Anyway, the person behind this one is very troublesome. Ray, Mr. Vihera, and Seto's power... let me guess."
"Oh, there's no problem over there. Yeah, it's hard to get violent all over the city, and most importantly..."
So once the words were cut, Ray turns his gaze to Vihella.
What happened to Vihera, who looked like she was smiling and motivated, to Ray? and leaning his little neck and turning his gaze.
It's not strange to be blinded because if you look only at the outside, a beautiful woman is acting like that.
In fact, because some of the other adventurers and guards who were gazing at the Rays around them were in love with such a vihella.
But... knowing what Vihera was looking forward to and smiling like that would definitely make it impossible to imitate such an honest love affair.
At least a few people who are currently in love with Vihera will definitely go silently out of sight.
I don't know if some of you like Vihera like that.
(No, do you mean me in the end for liking things)
While I think that way, Ray opens his mouth.
"Anyway, it's going to be a lot of trouble today, but it's just a new year, and even though we haven't finished building additions yet, I don't want to have to say that the guilds have been devastated..."
To Ray's words, Ranga nods naturally, too.
As a resident of Gilm, I have a deep attachment to this city.
More than that, after all, the option of not acting here did not exist.
"By the way, now... I'm really talking about now, but does Master Dusker know about this one?
"Oh, of course. Looks like Ray was there when he discovered the underground space. To be honest, if only the guards saw and reported it, they could have questioned the reliability of the opponent's strength"
"I mean, if it was just the guards, I feel like they would have just turned bones and skins into corpses on those tentacles.... No, it was killed by that kid before that, or he couldn't find a hidden staircase"
There was a hidden staircase ahead of Ray helping the guards being attacked by the girl and the girl who decided she couldn't win.
If it weren't for Ray, the guards would very likely have been killed and ended with that.
"... well, that's it,"
Did you get the meaning of Ray's words, Ranga goes off topic.
"Today..."
"Captain Langa, where are you! Captain Langa!"
Before Langa says anything to the end, the voices of the guards calling Langa echo around.
In the first place, Langa doesn't have as much leeway to talk to Ray slowly as she is to be captain of the guard.
"I'm sorry. If you'll excuse me around here."
Head down, Langa leaves intact.
Neither did Ray and Vihera imitate to retain the busy Langa, and they dropped him off as they were.
"I'm not just a guard, I guess I'm busy with this one."
"Well, maybe you are. There will rarely be so many big catches.... No, a mandatory investigation."
"It's similar, isn't it? It's over if this one brightens up, so if you're going to force an investigation, you're going to resist."
The words of Vihera are never wrong.
If those who actually set up this one thing get caught, they're definitely only waiting for the worst future, so long as they wait hard enough for it, they'll be desperate to resist.
In that case, it is inevitable that it will be a full-scale battle.
"I'm pretty sure it's going to be a fancy fight. … in some cases, it is dangerous in many ways that the aftermath of the battle may reach the aristocratic city."
If Ray, who specializes in widespread extermination magic near the aristocratic district, were to fight for it, people living nearby… that was not strange whether he was a nobleman in the aristocratic district or remembered his anxiety.
Nevertheless, even Ray doesn't use such massive magic without even thinking about the situation around him.
Not to mention the use of fire whirlwinds, which the nobles would probably be most worried about when Ray became a fighter near the aristocratic district, couldn't have made it that easy.
… Even if it can't be made that easy, it also means that if there is any reason why we have to use it, we won't hesitate to use it.
"In the meantime, when those pink tentacles come out of the city and things get out of hand with the people gathered here, I guess we need to take means like putting together a belt and incinerating it"
Several adventurers who were sneaking around listening to Ray and Vihera in the words of a grunting Ray shook their bodies unintentionally.
You understand that if that happens where we're going, we're definitely going to get ourselves involved.
"I won't let that happen. It's a powerful enemy in the corner."
"... well, Vihera's going to do something about it"
Death sizes and dusk spears used in Ray's attacks are, after all, magic items and weapons.
And beyond being a weapon, naturally that attack hits the outside.
However, in the case of Vihela, the immersion palm causes a direct magical shock to the enemy's body - even though Ray did not know if such an expression was correct against the tentacle.
I mean, no matter how high the defense, Vihella has absolutely no point.
Besides, an immersed clap that can ignore the enemy's defenses is never invincible.
In order to use the immersed palm, it was really necessary to get close to where Vihella's range of attack could be touched with her palm.
Most opponents would be able to get Vihela within that range of attack without any problems at all, but the tentacles Ray fought yesterday were pretty fast as well.
On top of that, there are also a large number of tentacles and teasing them is not something that even Vihella can easily do...... is Ray's feeling.
If I tried it on Vihela, I would have had a strong desire to fight because such a powerful enemy is his opponent.
Having a conversation like that, some adventurers who were listening to the story softly leave the scene.
From Ray's conversation with Vihera, we decided we were short on strength.
Fortunately, this one takes the form of a nomination request, but not a request through the guild, which was only taken directly by the guards to the adventurer.
For that reason, even if we escape here, the Alliance won't know about this, and it's not on the record. … the memories of those who were here will be well remembered.
Several adventurers follow with their eyes those who fled the scene, but in the end there was nothing more to say than that.
"With that said, if I had known there was such a thing today, I wonder if there would have been fewer people participating in the dismantling of Giganto Turtle as well"
"Uh... I don't know. In the first place, you called the guards and collected them, didn't you? Until yesterday, even the guy over there, the guy the guard called out to, he's been coming this way since the beginning."
In fact, as Ray looked around, there were several faces I saw here several times recently during the dismantling of Giganto Turtle.
Some of them keep their heads down small when Ray and I gaze at each other.
"Oh, you look a little familiar with that guy or something."
Vihera must have also looked around and found some familiar figures.
Squealing like I was convinced, Ray also sounded like it.
"Right? Those guys have been going around this way since the beginning, haven't they?... I'm pretty sure you're getting more people than you just did."
"Right.... Oh, it's Langa."
Following that gaze on Vihera's words, there was certainly a figure of Langa there talking to the Rays until earlier.
The langa opens its mouth as it glances at the gathering adventurers and guards.
"Everyone, you've come a lot! Some of you already know what you're going to do, but first listen to me!
That's what Langa screams and explains the situation.
That you searched one of the opponent's bases that was imitating calling Kobolt.
That there was an underground space in the mansion used as a base, where some sacrificial ritual and thought was performed.
Subjects who would offer that sacrifice shall come to stretch their pink tentacles out of the rift of space.
Even though the tentacles don't have fangs on the tip, they just touch to root and suck things like meat, body fluids, and guts.
There's nothing like coming out of that underground space right now, but I don't know what lies ahead.
Above all, that it is not just one mansion that has its underground space, it is also connected to other mansions.
And beyond being hunted down, that in some cases you might ram that tentacle all over the city and multiply that mess by getting away.
In order to prevent this, we will force those gathered here to inspect the mansion, which we believe is connected to the underground space.
Some people already know the information that came out of Langa's mouth, others who knew somewhat but did not know the details, or who knew nothing at all, succeeded in sharing the same level of information.
... The biggest thing is that the guards are trustworthy opponents here and the majority of people love a city called Gilm.
Most likely, some of them escaped before Langa's speech began.
"For that reason, all adventurers are invited to cooperate in a mandatory investigation! Also, be careful with each of the mansions, as some of the corresponding strong enemies may be as escorts!
Many of those who heard Langa say that if they never do things like retreat in this one case, many are in that look.
In fact, if pink tentacles like those in Langa's words were to storm around the city in large numbers, the damage would be immeasurable.
As a result, they left for a forced investigation with high morale.
