Legend

As a matter of course, even though Ray and the others came to investigate the mansion, the owner of the mansion would not honestly admit it.

It would be nice to have the owner of the mansion among the conspicuous who watched Rays from the mansion's premises, but the owner of the mansion naturally refuses to allow Rays to enter the mansion's premises.

"Don't be ridiculous! I know the aristocratic Viscount Dansley! You think that's a mandatory investigation? You think you'll be forgiven for imitating that!?

That's what I said, a skinny guy in his mid-twenties.

He blushes with anger and screams at the guards from across the gate.

But the guards were also expecting such an attitude from their opponents, talking to calm them down.

(Aristocrats, huh.... When I was talking about the guy yesterday, I just thought it was the Kings involved in this one thing. Could it have been different?

Or is the Lord of the Mansion not directly involved, but those beneath it for any reason?

It was Ray looking around at the servants around the guy screaming, but there's no one to be particularly uncomfortable with.

At least not many people looked suspicious because they saw it.

Of course, not everyone in the mansion is out here.

In the first place, if you know that the guards are here, if there really was a killer among the servants, it's not strange that they were doing things like hiding in the mansion or, in some cases, escaping.

"What do you think? Looks like there's no one suspicious or strong enough to have attacked the Rays yesterday."

Vihera asks me that in a voice that I can't hear around me if I've questioned the same thing as Ray.

"With that said, you're not even there.... then maybe this place is off? No, but considering yesterday's mansion was next door, that's kind of hard to think about."

"I wonder if this mansion could be off the hook."

"I don't think so. Langa dared to pick us and tell us to go to this mansion. That's because naturally this mansion is dangerous, don't you think?

Actually, maybe Ray thinks too much, but I'm pretty sure you should have thought so.

"Come on, don't say anything too surprising."

One of the adventurers who was listening behind Ray tells him that with a sincerely disgusting look.

In order to protect Guilm, he participated in this case, but that is not why he is so confident in his arms.

Less, if even Ray was attacked by a pink tentacle that he burned his hands slightly, it was such a fine place to buy time.

At the end of such rays' gaze, the guards were telling the owner of this mansion that this was a forced investigation.

Naturally still, the owner of the mansion was making a scene unacknowledged...

"Gentlemen, do it"

With that voice of the guards, adventurers like the Rays and other guards go into action.

Half of them were forced to break into the mansion.

There were gatekeepers, but they couldn't imitate how to prevent them from dealing with adventurers and guards, allowing them to break in.

If he was here, he realized that although the owner of the mansion was also making noise, he couldn't stop it or anything.

With such a husband on his ass, the faces who came to the forced investigation go inside the mansion.

"Seto, I don't know for a second, but if there was someone else running away from this mansion, get them. Nevertheless, the best thing to do is capture them, but if you decide you can't really catch them, you can kill them.... That's all right?

I guess I was listening to what Ray was saying to Seto. Ray asks the guards while the residents of the mansion turn their frightened gaze.

Naturally, the guards asked would also snort at the words and further frighten the inhabitants of the mansion.

(Maybe some guys have played with Seto all over the city)

It is possible that some of the inhabitants of this mansion have loved Ceto as such, only Ceto, who is treated mascotly in the Guild.

But if it's a favor from Ray, Seto won't condone it, even if it's the person who adored him.

... If I could, I wouldn't want to kill you.

Still, Seto also loves Gilm, who has many people who adore him.

In places like villages and cities where you go for the first time, Seto is often scared because that's Griffon, and this guild is a place to love.

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

I'll take care of it! And Seto sounds his throat with joy.

The owner of the mansion won't be able to say anything more about such a seto.

If I said anything here, that's what I thought Ceto might attack me for.

That's the same with the other servants, who learned from their husbands to stop moving... and the guards couldn't have missed that moment.

We immediately enter the mansion and forcefully break through the servants who tried to raise their voices of protest against it.

Ray also enters the mansion with such faces.

"The top priority is the kind of hidden passage that leads to the underground space, as Captain Langa also said. They said it was a staircase in the mansion next door, but be aware that even this mansion is not necessarily a staircase. Also, once you find the underground space, don't go inside more than you need to, just so you can come right back up."

Many people think it's tough to play tentacle opponents, so the decision was natural.

Detailed attention had already been given by Langa, so when we get brief attention from the guards, everyone moves on to action.

Ray and Vihera will act with three of the guards among them.

Shouldn't we split the numbers more if we were supposed to? I didn't think so, but yesterday in the mansion there were a number of people who were guarded - although it was a little noisy to call them - and given the circumstances around it, I guess they still decided to act in a bunch.

"Wait, please! Hey, the... trouble!

The maids and butlers hired by the Mansion speak out to Ray and the guards who came into the Mansion on their own, but the guards will not stop moving any more than it is a forced investigation.

Nevertheless, that is only about maids and deacons......

"Whoa, I'm sorry, but I can't let you through here."

Several soldiers stand in front of the Rays as they say so.

Not as many soldiers as the nobles employ, but they definitely still have the strength to do so.

"Retreat. This one's working as a guard. If we're going to get in the way, we're going to have to force them to deal with this one."

"I know what you're trying to say. But I'm here because I'm hired. Whatever guest the owner of the mansion has admitted, you can't imitate that you're leaving the other side of the house. Even if they're adventurers with aliases."

If you look at Ray and see how he tells you that, the soldiers will also know about Ray and Vihera.

Still, given my current job, I didn't do things like retreat even if I was an adventurer with an alias.

"You're a lot more serious than I expected. It's just... I can't think of anything more convenient than being here to conduct a mandatory investigation."

That's what I said, Ray leaves in front of the guards.

Neither did the guards want to brutally imitate the soldiers in front of them if they could, but that's why they can't keep pulling back, leaving the guards to Ray.

"Don't be too abusive."

"Oh."

Ray starts walking straight when he answers briefly to the words of a guard who cares about the soldier.

Soldiers put their long swords and daggers in their hands and lay on Ray as they move toward themselves... but at the next moment Ray kicks the floor and fills it in with his opponent.

The speed cannot be seen firmly by the guards, who slightly perceive their presence and wave the weapons in their hands.

There, there's nothing like hesitation.

If that blow were to hit, that would be the light loss of life.

However, if Ray is dealt with, there is no way that it can be handicapped or anything like that, and there is no other way to do my job.

Nevertheless, even such a blow cannot hit Ray... Ray dodges that blow lightly and buries his fist in the soldier's torso.

"Gu!"

A soldier who instantly collapses to the floor, deprived of consciousness, with a short, distressed voice.

Naturally not only one, but the other soldiers collapse unconscious one after another.

An instant exchange of less than a few seconds.

That's all the soldiers were to fall asleep on the floor unconscious.

"Sorry."

Whimpering slightly, Ray glances at the soldiers who fell on the floor... and turns his gaze toward the guards.

"In the meantime, now there's no one to interrupt us. All I have to do is look into this mansion later, but what do we do?

"First we break up a few people at a time.... I want Ray and Vihella to act separately if they can, okay?

"I don't mind, but what about Vihera?

To the words of the guard, Ray asks Vihera.

Vihera, who was gazed at, thought for a few seconds and eventually nodded.

"Okay, that's fine.... If you're acting with Ray, that's a little bit of a shame because I also feel like the mighty enemy is coming out of the other side."

"I'm not capable of attracting strong enemies."

That was Ray returning the word, but considering how much trouble Ray has actually been in so far, there would normally be more in favor of Vihera's opinion.

In fact, because many of those who were listening around were snorting at the words of Vihera like that.

Ray also opens his mouth softly out of sight when he decides there's no winning shot at saying something here.

"So, there's a good chance there's a strong enemy out there. Who's the object lover who acts with me?

"I'm coming."

"Then shall I go, too?... I can't just make you feel sorry for yourself. Besides, with Ray, you can get back alive for now, no matter what you get attacked by."

"Uh, forget it, do as you please. But I really don't know if you're involved in something. If that's okay, follow me. So, what do we do over there?

Halfway to self-abandonment, Ray asked himself and the adventurers other than Vihera.

But all those adventurers shake their heads beside each other.

... Nothing, because acting with Ray is likely to lead directly to death... not purely from the question of numbers.

The fact that each of the guards separates and acts naturally means there needs to be an escort adventurer there too.

If so, there is not necessarily a reason for another adventurer to act together in a group that acts alongside a huge force of war called Ray.

Ningro, it would be more effective to place adventurers elsewhere than just lay is enough force.

Ray, told so by the remaining adventurers and guards, nodded back as he was convinced by the words, even with a subtle look on his face.

In this way, every face that enters the mansion breaks up in small numbers and starts acting.

The maids and butlers think about stopping it, but if the soldiers are shown the sight of being stunned by a blow, they can't imitate it like it moves in a detour. But...

"Hey, what are you doing! Get those people out of the mansion now! I'm the one who ordered your employer! You know what that means!

If you try to be the owner of the mansion, there's no funny reason why you can walk around with our faces, even if you're a guard or not... not to mention that if there are adventurers there, it can't be tolerated.

Above all, because it was a sudden forced investigation, there is some evidence of fraud in the mansion that has been carried out so far.

Being able to find that by the guards was something that should definitely have been avoided.

Nevertheless, there is no way that the highest force employed in this mansion can do anything more than already sink in front of Ray.

In the end, the noise alone prevented me from taking any effective measures.

Usually, if this happens, you can go get a guard.

Or you can lend a hand to a courteous nobleman.

But that's only when the opponent is a rogue, and it's totally unexpected that the guards would force their own mansion to be searched.

Eventually, the owner of the mansion gave a desperate look like what to do… leaving the place with a face he was ready to do.
