Legend

The Rays had come to the conclusion that we would look into this underground space a little more for now.

Nevertheless, the actual aim of Vihella is to look here as well, because I had the thought that if we were in this underground space more than that, maybe a pink tentacle might appear.

Ray understands that too, but there's no doubt that he wants a little more information about the pink tentacles.

Beyond that, I did not intend to express dissatisfaction with Vihera's actions, but rather to take them on aggressively by Ning Luo.

Most importantly, it can be imitated because it has a proven track record of being able to counteract pink tentacles if it is only a ray, and I was confident that it could be countered equally by Vihera, who uses the skill of immersion palm.

If it were the class of guards, not Vihera, who are here, I would never have tolerated that Ray would stay here, too.

"I don't know when, though, the space actually rips open and those pink tentacles come out,"

"Right. If you can, I hope you come out early. You can't stay here forever."

We can confirm that there is a staircase leading to this underground space in the mansion where Ray and the others conducted a forced investigation.

In doing so, the greatest aim of this compulsory investigation will have been achieved.

… of course, this will not stop the other investigation.

No, Ning Lo, because we found the stairs connected to this underground space, we'll be able to continue our investigation to see if there's any other kind of important evidence.

(Though, the owner of that mansion looked like he didn't know anything completely. For example, where the hell am I supposed to look to find some evidence?... I don't even know who built the hidden stairs over there in the first place)

It was Ray's expectation that he probably built a hidden staircase after the mansion was built.

But at the same time, one would naturally wonder how to build a hidden staircase.

stairs...... when it comes to building hidden stairs too, it will be difficult to do something about them in secret because no matter how they stand out and the sound of the construction leaks around them.

(When that happens, are you aiming for a time when no one is temporarily in the mansion? Well, I don't think it's likely enough.)

As I look around and think, I inadvertently hear voices.

"Hey, it's Mr. Ray and Mr. Vihera, isn't it!? Is something wrong here?

Turning his gaze to those who heard voices, there were two guards running towards the Rays.

The guards who showed up from another staircase a while ago returned to the mansion as soon as they confirmed Ray and Vihera's appearance… The guards who showed up this time ran aggressively towards the Rays instead of returning from the stairs to gather information.

Earlier guards and now guards.

Ray doesn't know which is right.

There was no doubt that it was probably the guards who were currently coming at me that would be pissed off over things like Langa.

Though, that wasn't going to be like Ray or Vihera saying anything more than what the guards thought of each of them.

"Mr. Ray, Mr. Vihera, what's it like?

"Whatever they say it feels like. As you can see, there's nothing in particular. It's a normal underground space."

"What the hell is a normal underground space?... and can you describe an underground space of this size as normal?

Vihera tells Ray's words with a little confusion.

In fact, describing such a space as normal is not very, but it does not suit you.

Obviously this was the kind of place you couldn't call normal.

"Is that what they say? It's just an unmistakable fact that there's nothing going on here for now."

"... I see. When did Mr. Ray get attacked by his tentacles when he was here yesterday?

"When... there was this guy who brought the redcloth guys, and it wasn't until he got to the middle of this underground space. Didn't the guards who were working with me raise it in a report around here?

"Yeah, but I still wanted to hear it from Mr. Ray, who saw it first hand. … and when it does, is it time, place, or some particular key that can be considered"

Ray is a little troubled by the words of the guard.

It would still be a place to find out quickly in the current situation.

In the sense of time, we can only wait for it to be extended here, and if it is any key, the man killed by the tentacles first yesterday may have had something, but we could not retrieve that body, and as far as this can be seen, there are no bodies left here.

When that happens, even if there is some kind of item that is key to invoking that tentacle, you won't be able to imitate using it.

"Then I knew I'd have to go to the center of this space."

Vihera, who was in the same conclusion as Ray, walks straight out towards the center of this space.

Ray follows Vihela like that, and the guards look at each other and they speak up toward Ray and Vihela's rear.

"Ray, Vihera, maybe when we're together... no, we're definitely going back to the mansion where we were doing the forced investigation. If we could, we'd like to see our tentacles with our own eyes..."

He waved gently at the guard who called out so, and Ray kept walking...... eventually arrived near the center of this underground space.

"What do you say?"

It was Vihera asking Ray, but besides, Ray shakes his neck to the side.

"No, you don't feel anything like this in particular. I don't know what to say yesterday... I had this weird feeling, so I got a rip in the space, and my tentacles came out."

"When that happens, I guess it means the tentacles came out yesterday for another reason, not a place. But then... it's gonna be hard to fight tentacles here and now."

Unfortunately, Vihera squeaks shamefully from the bottom of her heart.

Ray was also very sorry to not be able to get any information on the tentacles, but he is showing more regret than such a ray.

"Is it more likely that this will be some kind of key item or something? I'm sure there's plenty of time."

Which one do you want? and to Ray, who turns his gaze, Vihera naturally tells him who the key is.

If it's time, that's what you need to wait here all the time, but if it's a key item, it's a big deal that waiting time is not necessary.

(Most importantly, if you wait for time, it means you're sure to show up, and it's not that bad.)

With that in mind, Ray looks around again.

Then I can see a different guard coming down the stairs and watching this one.

"There seem to be quite a few guys who find hidden stairs."

"Right. But... so to speak, Ray, from which stairs did the people who brought the red cloth yesterday come? Why don't we just look that way? Maybe it's not connected to the mansion up there."

"... if you ask me, yeah"

If there is a mansion on the ground, that is what could happen, such as being forced to investigate or, in some cases, raided, like this one.

But I'm pretty sure it would be reassuring if the place, which should also be called the enemy's home, were actually in such a way that it could not be reached from the ground.

Not to mention the existence of several stairs in this underground space, which lead to which mansion. Alternatively, there may be more than one staircase connected to a single mansion.

In that case, it was also an unmistakable fact that it was prone to various misunderstandings.

"Right? Then why don't you just check that one out? If it was the enemy's home, if it worked, we could catch this one mastermind, right?

The words of Vihera were also appealing enough for Ray.

I'm pretty sure Vihella will be the first one to want to fight a mighty enemy.

Nevertheless, if we capture the mastermind here at once, it will be a big step forward in this one...... on the contrary, it will definitely be solved once and for all.

"Okay. Then give me a minute.... Hey, hey, hey!

When Ray calls to the guards a little further away, he hears the voice and the guards run towards the Rays in a somewhat frightening manner.

If tentacles show up here, we're likely to die.

I guess that's why you're scared somewhere.

If the opponent is a criminal, the guards will not be so scared.

But the opponent who comes out in this underground space is a tentacle, not even a human.

Besides, even Ray has a slightly more struggling strength, which means that if a guard encounters it, it will be difficult to survive without extra luck.

It was a cautious attitude, because I knew it.

I'd like to get out of here as soon as I can and get back to the mansion.

"Sorry, that staircase over there"

That said, Ray points to himself and the stairs that Vihera came down.

"If we go up those stairs, we'll go out to the mansion where we were forced to investigate, so I'd like to ask the guards there to leave a message. We're going to take the other stairs... The other guy who brought the red cloth yesterday came down the stairs, but we'll go up those stairs and check it out."

"... Isn't that dangerous?

"I'm pretty sure it's dangerous"

Ray lightly tells that to the guard who asks with a little anxiety.

At the end of the stairs where Ray and Vihella are actually about to head, I couldn't say it was any more dangerous than there was likely to be an enemy home.

"But this one needs to be solved at some risk... most importantly, because Vihella is motivated."

"Of course not. I've come so far around the corner, I can't fight my tentacles. If this happens, we can only hope to get into the enemy's home base and fight the mighty enemy."

If it's normal, I'd like to deny the word, but if it's Vihera who said it, it's not surprising that she was accidentally convinced.

"That's why. Besides, there were a couple of guys who could hang a punch in the enemy's home base and survive safely... well, I think it's just me and Vihera on the spot, so we're in charge."

To Ray's words, the guards thought a little and eventually nodded.

"Okay. Okay, I'll pass on Ray's message.... may not be something to say to Ray or Vihera, but be careful"

I know there's nothing more easy to do than know Ray and Vihera's strengths.

I know, but still, as a face-to-face acquaintance between the two, that's what the guards told me not to be in danger.

Ray also snorts back at you for understanding the language of such a guard.

"I know. There's so much work to be done here, it doesn't mean I'll be back soon, but I'll be careful around there.... and don't call Seto if you have to."

"Can you hear me?

We still don't know what kind of place Ray is going to be.

So even if I call on Seto who is outside, will I get a voice?

To the words of the guard who tells him so, Ray nods that he'll probably be fine.

"If it's my word, maybe it'll pass to Seto."

I'm not saying it without any basis.

Seto is created by Warcraft.

In that sense, you can say that Ray and Seto are magically connected.

That's why it wasn't strange to hear Ray's voice in Seto, although he was somewhat of a deluded language because there was no way he could tell the guards about it.

Though the guards had some doubts about Ray's words like that, they decided that it wouldn't be strange if Griffon's Ceto could hear Ray's voice, and wouldn't imitate listening to him in more detail than that.

"Okay. Then I asked for it."

To say just that briefly, the guard leaves in front of Ray.

Dropping off such a hindsight, Ray turns his gaze to Vihera.

"Well, suppose we go then?... Needless to say to Vihella, we'll act with care"

"Yeah, I'd like to fight the mighty enemies anyway."

Vihera nodded at Ray's words and the two began to move towards the stairs where the man who brought the redcloth man out yesterday came.
