Legend

Proceed down the hallway, Ray and Vihella.

Such a gaze of two captures one existence.

That's the door.

All that had happened so far was to keep Red Buddha waiting... no, only the basement that deserved the expression to be preserved, otherwise the hallway was decorated with paintings and works of art, but not a single kind of door existed.

If it's a normal mansion, I'd say it's obviously made oddly.

But in this case, it's not that strange.

Because this mansion is probably the home of a Cobolt anomaly that is currently happening in the Guild… otherwise it should be called the home of one case, the Cobolt, which is extended into the Guild, and, above all, of one of the pink tentacles Ray has seen in the underground space.

That's why neither Ray nor Vihera, although doubtful, did imitate anything in their mouths, especially when they said it was strange, even in a mansion of such strange construction.

In such a mansion, a door appeared like the one currently at the end of Ray's and Vihera's gaze, so that would be more impossible not to question.

"What do we do?

"There's no such thing as stopping here or going back."

To Ray's words, Vihera tells him so softly.

Ray also nods at the words of Vihera like that, I guess.

I asked him once, because given Vihella's character, choosing something other than the option of going straight shouldn't have been the first thing.

"Then go."

Confirm each other's intentions with a short exchange of words and head towards the door.

Note that Ray currently has Death Size and Dusk Spears in his hands, respectively.

If you are in the middle of going up the stairs, you could not imitate the use of a long sickle or spear because of its narrowness, but if you are in this hallway, it is possible to wield a long object.

... Of course, Ray could not help but shake his neck too if asked if he would make a thorough use of the dusk spears and death-size strengths than this is inside the mansion.

"I wonder what kind of person you have."

"What kind of person. There's a chance there's some kind of civilian guy."

Ray jokingly said it, but that is by no means an impossible story.

There will naturally be more paperwork than thinking about such a big plan and moving it to execution, and there will be no reason to let that be a bypassing opponent.

If so, it is not surprising that some of those who are planning this one will have such competence.

... I heard about it, and it looked like Vihera was clearly powerless.

It was obvious that for some reason the option of a civilian came out there, even though we were expecting to fight strong enemies.

"Hey, don't say anything too distracting, will you?... In the meantime, I'm sure there's no such thing as desertion."

With the door approaching, I guess I felt signs of people at the end of that door.

Vihera puts her expectations to rest and tells her so.

Most of all, it's not necessarily Vihella's hopefully powerful opponent who's inside, beyond just feeling the signs.

Either way, while I have a subtle and unpleasant feeling with Ray's words, Vihella opens the door… half-reflexively, she brings a hand equipped with a hand in front of her face.

Almost at the same time as such a vihella move, a tall metal noise echoed around him.

What? And for a moment I wondered, when Ray looks at the floor, there's a long needle rolling in there.

On top of that, if you see the tip of the long needle wet with some liquid, it was obvious that it was not water or anything, but poisonous.

"Oh, that's an interesting way to welcome me. … I prefer it."

"Shit, come in here to a place like this. Trouble."

Ray, who was watching Vihera outside the door, understands from the voices heard from inside the room that it was the man who was inside.

I wonder if that's also the person who released the long needle.

Did you throw it by hand like Ray or Büne would, or did you use some kind of tool to let it go?

Ray didn't even know the neighborhood, but he's definitely an enemy from its words and deeds.

(mastermind's men, and...... probably the same people who were protecting yesterday's mansion or that kid who was attacked by Vihera today)

I can't see the faces of the people inside firsthand from Ray outside the room, but I still somehow could have predicted that.

"Vihera, what do we do?

"You're up to me to do it. That's why I'm here."

If you tell Ray so lightly, Vihera goes straight into the room.

For Vihela, who uses fighting as a weapon, fighting in the room is not bitter.

On the contrary, if we were to fight opponents using weapons such as long objects and long swords used by Ray, it would have been more advantageous to fight even if we thought about taking the weapons around.

If you have enough skill to unilaterally attack someone with a weapon, I guess the story is different.

... Nevertheless, Ray, who moved all the way to the front of the door and looked inside the room, sees a dagger in the hand of the man opposite Vihella and decides that he is almost one another in the weapons takeover.

Daggers are never superior purely as weapons.

But in terms of good handling, it beats numerous weapons, starting with long swords and spears.

And if it comes to fighting in the room, then naturally the goodness of its takeover will be important, and you can definitely fight each other with Vihera who fights in combat.

"I like the long needle earlier... but isn't it impeccable that it's poison?

"Damn, what are you talking about? You just have to win the fight. Not to mention, this isn't about a game or anything, it's about killing each other, right? Then you wouldn't have a problem using poison."

"... that's your preference. I'm sorry to hear that. I wish I could have fought a bloody, meat-leaping opponent."

"Right. Then go home..."

You can go home.

I guess that's what the word would have gone on, but the man suddenly moves out in the middle of the word.

That's a blow to perfection that poked surprises if you're a normal opponent.

It's just that it's just a normal opponent, and Vihella's not exactly normal opponent.

Attack unleashed against yourself...... it's also the fastest attack poking, not slashing, using a well-rounded dagger of lightness.

On top of that, the blade of the dagger is wet with the same poison as the long needle earlier, and if it is scratched at all with the blade, it will surely result in the worst for Vihella.

It was such a deadly poke, but Vihera dodges a man's blow with minimal movement.

Of all the furniture types in the room, the movement is not difficult to move at all.

Ningro, using furniture such as chairs and desks, Vihera continues to fight men.

It was Ray watching the battle... but inadvertently, he turned that gaze to the hallway.

Most of all, the gaze was not directed at those who came, but in the direction of progress.

I was at the end of that gaze... three men emerged from the end of the hallway to be exact.

One is a big, muscular man, one is a skinny man, and the last one is an average figure when viewed physically.

Those were the three men, but only a man of normal stature had a distinctly more physical presence than the other two.

Is it natural for the other two to follow such a man, especially not to think of anything but to follow that man?

"Hey. I thought you might come to this mansion sooner or later, but you were a lot quicker than I expected. Normally, I don't think it would be strange to be vigilant and cautious to come here from between summonses.... what do you think of that?

A man in a normal physique... the greatest man, he talks to Ray so much.

I guess that gaze was directed inside the room where Vihera was fighting for a moment because she knew exactly what was going on there.

"I don't care what you say. I take it for granted that the guy who brought the red cloth from here came here yesterday would look into it more than that?

"Shit, I knew it would happen. Damn, you guys are mostly moving fast. If you could just relax a little bit, we could have pulled out a lot more."

"I guess. I guess that's why the guards decided to move the next day, too.... Your failure was not to withdraw from here within yesterday. Yesterday, there would still have been some room."

In Ray's words, a man looks disgusted... with a really disgusting look on his face.

I would have liked to have done that if a man could, but there were so many circumstances that I couldn't do such an imitation.

"Right. I was hoping to do the same. But... as someone who's been entrusted with this one, there's no way you can just walk away from the others, can you?

Ray is just a little surprised by the words coming out of the man's mouth.

From the content of the story, I knew that it was those in some position who were in front of me.

But from what I've just told you, it's not in some position to be in front of you... it's going to be one of the greatest people in Kobolt's case, and one about Ray's pink tentacles he fought yesterday.

"Heh. I thought he was the guy in some position, but I didn't think the boss would come out in person"

"Right, I wasn't supposed to come out yet either... if Ray was the big guy out there, I'd have to come out here too"

In a calm way, that's what Ray gives a slightly funny look and opens his mouth to the words of a man who even laughs and tells him.

"That makes it sound like you can beat me... is it my fault?

"No, it's not my fault. It may be hard to beat Ray, but it means I can handle it. Plus, there's these guys."

The man gazes at the musculoskeletal big man standing beside himself and the skinny man.

But the two men with their gaze on them remain silent, not particularly reacting to anything.

"With those two, you think you can beat me? You really think so?

"Well, I don't know. I think it would be clear if we actually fought around it?

Saying so, a man grips his fist without putting up a particular weapon...

(No, a knuckle guard)

Seeing the fist of a man holding his fist, Ray thinks it's rare inside.

I don't usually care that much because I have Vihela, but I don't use weapons like long swords and daggers, and with my bare hands - in this case I wear knuckle guards - there aren't many people who fight that much.

Opposite those three......

"Oh."

Second, such a voice interrupts me.

Naturally, Ray knew whose voice that was.

"That was fast."

"Yeah, 'cause you're just trying to leave me alone and enjoy fighting the mighty enemies with Ray."

Turning his gaze inside the room listening to Vihella, there was a man there who was losing consciousness by trying to lean against the chair.

He was good at the method of warfare of fighting with poison on long needles and daggers, but I guess it was a little short for Vihella.

"It's not like I embezzled you, I'm from the other side.... So what do we do? We're both here now."

The second half of the words were directed at the men, not at Vihela.

He was the man who said that if Ray was the only one fighting, he could win, but that's where Vihella joined him, so it would be a totally unexpected development for the rest of us.

But the man at the end of Ray's gaze only makes a fierce grin, not looking like he cared at all, even in a situation that put him at a disadvantage.

"Ha, I'm pretty sure this one's put us at a disadvantage, but that's why you can't even make it so easy for them to do it.... and I'm at a disadvantage, so I guess I'm gonna lose."

"I see, that kind of personality"

I'm not overconfident...... I guess I just have the power to actually say that.

Even from Ray's point of view, it was understandable that it had quite a bit of strength.

(Unknown opponent, huh? This would have been good for a monster)

Even the strong enemies in the corner are more than human...... No, they can't do anything like acquire new skills through Warcraft than not having Demon Stones.

Even with such an opponent, there was no reason to leave him alone beyond being the mastermind of this case.

"Well, we're going to fight... you seem to know my name, but this one doesn't know yours. Can I tell you that much? You'll need it when you carve it in your grave."

"Ha, what are you talking about? In this case, all you need to carve it into your grave is the names Ray and Vihera, right?... Well, fine. You want to know about the names of those who kill themselves. I'm Jarvis.... the name of the one who buries you, remember!

The man who screamed sharply and named him Jarvis packed his distance from Ray and Vihera at once.
