"... what?

From the mouth of the master of the mansion, there is a loose voice between them.

In fact, I guess he still doesn't understand what happened.

No way, don't let a dagger be thrown from somewhere towards you. Something like it was totally unexpected.

Most importantly, if you try the guards and adventurers who participated in the forced investigation, you're finding evidence of scattered crime, so it's not surprising that the owner of the mansion was targeted for reasons around it.

That was Ning Luo's surprise that he didn't often think he could be targeted for it while keeping many crimes on top of each other.

"Well, I hope you're finally here."

Viewing the dagger that was bounced off his hand and fell in the hallway, Vihera looks happy... that's what I tell you happily from the bottom of my heart.

If you do not know about Vihera, then it is that beauty that blinds you, a beautiful smile, so much so that it is not strange to be distracted.

But most of those here know more than what Vihera looks like, and whoever sees such a Vihera grin or fears, those who fall in love... in fact, were quite there.

Beauty would also be a testament to the fact that it is so capable of attracting people's eyes.

Most of all, the person with that grin quickly runs toward the flying dagger without worrying about what's going on around him.

It was Vihera running out of the room, but those who were in the room dropped off their hindsight... so finally the master of the mansion returns to me.

You must have seen the dagger falling on the floor and realized there again that you had been targeted for your life.

Unexpectedly, sit down on the spot.

"Huh?"

So it was Ray who raised the question, but why do all the other faces suddenly sit down? I'm pretty sure I had questions like that.

But the master of the mansion, who was gazed at by everyone in the room, opens his mouth with a bright red face when he understands his current situation… a situation in which his hips have fallen out.

"Wow, wow, you got to get me to another room somewhere!

Shouted in a mixed voice of shame and anger, so I guess the maids and deacons who were around finally returned to me as well.

Hold their own masters sitting on the floor and walk away from the spot.

... other maids and butlers politely thanked the Rays at that time, but I get the feeling that the look is somewhere tigh-hug.

Why are you so graceful when your husband you serve is losing his hips? That's what I think.

"Uh... in the meantime, like yesterday's mansion, there seemed to be a guy like that who was either escorting or assassinating this mansion. Fortunately, they seem to be small."

Ray tells Ray to change the atmosphere after the owners, maids, butlers, soldiers, etc. of the mansion disappear.

In the words of Ray, I guess the others returned to me. Each begins to talk about the current series.

"But I didn't expect you to come after me in this situation.... Why was that guy targeted in the first place? If you were to kill that man, you'd have had plenty of time before you did."

"If you ask me, right.... I can't believe I bothered to kill Ray when he was like he was there, and I was wondering if that was anything but a suicide act. And then there was a reason it had to be now?

To the words of the guard, the gaze of all who were in the room is pointed to a point.

That is, on the stairs leading to the underground space.

"But why? It doesn't mean we have to kill him right now because we found this staircase."

"Really? The forced investigation produced quite a bit of evidence of the crime. Because you're more than likely to get caught like this right now... and don't you think it's strange to think so?

If you listen to that guard, many of you will be convinced.

In fact, the guards were going to capture the master of this mansion from the evidence they found when today's forced investigation was over.

And if the guards capture you and take you to the jail, the difficulty in assassinating you increases dramatically.

Then it wouldn't be strange if the assassin who was entering this mansion decided that he should have finished by now.

"But why do I need to finish that man off? As far as that goes, you didn't seem to know anything about this hidden staircase, did you? Then I don't think you need to seal your mouth until you take a risk."

Everyone nods at the words of one of the guards, as they certainly do...

"Then why don't you ask this kid what he knows?

To the voices heard through the door, those other than Ray, who had perceived the signs, turn a surprise gaze.

There he was, Vihera.

However, there is one child in his hand who has passed out.

"Ah."

It was Ray who looked at the child and raised his voice unexpectedly.

Because the kid looked familiar to Ray... precisely because he was the kid who was attacking the guards yesterday when he forced the next mansion to be investigated.

I eventually lost it in the underground space, and there was a pink tentacle to chase after, so I retreated from the scene and left it there...

(Maybe you escaped from that underground space into this mansion? using that hidden staircase)

Even so, there is no reason to try to kill the master of the mansion.

With such doubts, Ray speaks to Vihella.

"So, how'd it go?

I didn't ask what it was exactly in what sense, but if it was Ray and Vihella, that made enough sense.

"Right. Could it have been a little smaller than I expected? But at this age, it's promising in the future. … but I don't know what kind of life this child is going to lead."

I'm sure there's obviously some reason why I'm doing this kind of work with my kids.

What will happen to this child in his own arms from now on?

Vihera seemed a little excited about it and had some worries.

I didn't even think about it until I took the child.

"Kids."

When you think about langa and dusker where there is something sweet about it, perhaps it will be taken away and deposited with eggs and turned around by intelligence.

While I think that way, Ray cuts his head back.

"Well, that's it.... Once there's a staircase to the underground space, why don't we just keep going?

"Hey, Ray!? Suddenly what!?

The guard, naturally, reacted to that word from Ray.

It was Ray who claimed that the space in the basement was dangerous.

That being the case, it was also natural for the guards to have such doubts as to why they were going underground in this situation.

But unlike the hasty guards, Ray opens his mouth without looking particularly upset.

"I know what you're trying to say, but you need to look into the underground space. Sounds like you've been over there for a while, but that came right back, hasn't it?

"No, but it's..."

Even though the guards try to say something to Ray's words, Ray nods that he knows such an opponent.

In fact, Ray also knows that the guards were told not to be in that space as long as they could once they found the underground space so that they would not be damaged by the pink tentacles.

Still, Ray said he was going to underground space just in case he really wanted to make sure himself that the underground space was the same place as yesterday, and most importantly...

"Yes. Do this girl a favor. When you're conscious, you might as well tie it up right now."

Vihera is handing the stunned child over to the guards.

That Vieira's gaze is toward the hidden staircase as soon as she hands over the child.

Whatever the guards say, and whatever Ray says, the look he's deciding to make his way to the underground space no matter what.

Most importantly, that's understandable because Ray is acting with Vihera, and the guards can't read Vihera's expression in that much detail.

... Nevertheless, given Ray's words and usual Vihera's behavior now, it's not a hard story to predict what Vihera is thinking.

I guess it affects that the guards also have some sort of relationship with Vihera around here.

Vihera was gazed at by Ray and the guards, but she didn't look particularly concerned, and stayed close to Ray...

"Well, Ray. Then let's go. I don't know if the tentacles will come out, but if you don't try to pick them up, nothing will happen."

"That's why."

Instead of responding to Vihera, I tell that to the guards.

Can we stop Vihera from happening? And the guards won't be able to say anything to Ray's words with such willingness.

Wouldn't you be able to stop Ray if he meant it? It wasn't that the guards didn't have the idea, but Ray isn't trying to force them to stop Vihela either.

Above all, it's also true that I wanted to check the underground space for myself.

That is why we proceed with Vihera towards the hidden staircase.

The guards will shut up and drop them off.

Even if we stop here, it won't make sense in words, and because I understand that exercising strength is out of the question.

It is also significant that it would have been beneficial for the guards to check in as much detail as possible about the underground space.

That's how in the end nobody stops, and Ray and Vihella go down the stairs leading to the underground space.

"I thought someone was gonna stop me."

Vihera whines small as she goes down the stairs.

Ray waves his neck to the side as he walks behind Vihella, listening to the words, thinking they won't see him.

"Examining that underground space is absolutely necessary. When that happens, I want to gather some information... something like that? In fact, there's very little information about that underground space."

"I wasn't in this mansion, but I'm pretty sure there's someone in the other mansion who knows something about this underground space, right? Then why don't we just get you?

Just watching the sight of someone actually coming into the underground space with Red Buddha, Ray was also convinced of such Vihera's words.

That's how we go down the stairs as we have a conversation...... eventually, we abruptly head out into the underground space.

"... How's it going? Same place you came yesterday?

Vihera looking around asks Ray.

When Ray looks around again in the same way, he nods back at the words.

"Oh. There's no way there's so much underground space around it. Definitely the same place I saw it yesterday. … it seems that there are some stairs up there."

Ray, who has a higher vision than a regular person, understands that there is a staircase leading up the wall across the street from where we came down.

Vihera also nodded as if she was convinced following Ray's gaze because she was now more capable than a human being.

"I see.... This way, it's really big. I wonder how you created such a space. Could there have been this space before we built the mansion on top?

"I don't know. With a space like this, that's what you'll find when you build a mansion, and I don't think you're gonna build one of these splendid mansions in a place like that."

If there is this much space in the basement, there is also a risk that the ground will be submerged when building the building.

That being the case, it didn't seem very, but Ray would have built a building even though there was such an underground space.

"Ah."

Two, Vihera squeaks small.

Turning to that voice, Vihera, his face looks to the side.

What Ray saw following Vihera's gaze like that was the sight of several guards showing up from the stairs.

Ray also found me surprised that he noticed what Vihera looked like over there.

"Maybe you found a hidden staircase that leads here even where that guard is"

"Right. Well, we ran a forced investigation into the mansion around here at the same time, so given that, it wouldn't be surprising to come down to this underground space at the same time."

The guards wave at me, while Ray and Vihera wave at me again.

The guards who confirmed that do not look as if they are approaching the Rays, and soon return to the stairs they have come down.

So did the guards who found the hidden stairs the Rays came down, but there's also one pink tentacle, so I guess they were telling me to come back as soon as I checked this underground space.

Ray and Vihera can handle tentacles, so there's nothing wrong with that.

"Well, what do we do now? Want to check this place out a little bit more?

To Ray, who asks, Vihera nods back.
