Legend

1974 words

The Rays decided to get out of the underground space, but fortunately the tentacles in the underground space never came in pursuit.

Even for the tentacles, you must have judged Ray, who continued to do great damage to himself yesterday, to be a formidable enemy.

... Most honestly, for Vihera, who is acting with Ray, I guess she wanted me to attack her if I could.

(That's all the damage I did, and it's not weird how you think over there or anything like that has changed. In some cases, you should also consider the possibility of tentacles coming out of that underground space)

As he ascends the stairs, Ray turns his gaze to Jarvis, whom he is responsible for.

I definitely knew something about that tentacle, too, more than it was the mastermind of this one.

Also, there is no doubt that the kind of information newly obtained by Langa in recalling the Rays will naturally have important significance.

"I see it."

The woman's guard, who was leading the way, shrugs.

There was a strong and delightful color in that voice, probably because I was still afraid of underground space.

Without the tentacles, I wouldn't have even been scared so far, but this woman's guard has a solid eye for the sight of Ray fighting the pink tentacles.

... No, I guess that's exactly what I saw Ray about to throw a spear at a being that should also be called a chunk of tentacles that cemented his defense.

Anyway, unlike adventurers who often see monsters, the people the guards face are basically people like humans, beasts, elves and dwarves.

I guess that's why it wasn't weird for the guards to be disgusted with the extra chunks of tentacles.

"Hmm. I knew the stairs in this mansion were hidden too"

When Ray out of the stairs looked around, there was a sight of the wall moving sideways.

I guess that's what happened when the guards and adventurers who were forcibly investigating this mansion dismantled this staircase that was hidden on the wall by some means and found the staircase as a result......

Make predictions like that, remembering the mansion we were investigating by force.

"Excuse me, Mr. Ray. Can you check here later? First, I want to go to Mr. Langa."

"Hmm? Oh, okay. That's no problem."

Ray, who didn't want to look in the room until he left Langa alone, nodded lightly at the woman's guard's words and left the room intact.

I hold Jarvis as a matter of course, so the guards and adventurers who are still looking for something in the room can see it with strange eyes, but he doesn't look particularly concerned about that gaze.

Vihera doesn't care about her surrounding gaze as much as Ray does, she goes outside the room.

... although the only guard of the woman guiding the Rays felt the gaze directed at Rays and Vihella coming to him at the end, with a subtle look on his face.

"Ugh."

"... oh, what's wrong?

Vihera asks strangely to the voice that came out of the woman's guard's mouth.

If you try to be a vihela, it's usual to get attention from others, and I don't understand why the female guard cares so much.

Even Bühne, where Vihella is a guardian, doesn't particularly care about his gaze when he acts with Vihella.

So, I guess I'm concerned about the state of the female guard.... Ningro, this is the normal reaction.

We continue with such an exchange, and eventually the Rays arrive in front of one room.

"Right here."

While questioning the state of the mentally tired female guard in this short time, Ray and Vihera arrive in front of the room.

"Mr. Langa, it's Yomin. We've brought Mr. Ray and Mr. Vihella."

The female guard who knocked and called...... Yomin's words call me to go in from the inside.

That's how the door opens, prompting Ray and Vihella to go inside.

The person had nothing in particular to go inside, and walked away from the front of the room as it was.

Hmm? And I didn't question it. But sooner than I say it, Langa sees Ray, who was reading some sort of paperwork at the executive desk that was in the room.

More than this is the mansion that went into the forced investigation, naturally this isn't supposed to be Langa's office.

But still, the sight of Langa reading the documents at the desk was not uncomfortable.

"Hey, both of you...... yeah? Ray, you have..."

"Jarvis. This one mastermind...... Apparently. I don't know if that's true or not."

"Oh, but it was strong enough, wasn't it? Not enough to name a mastermind."

"It's not like the mastermind has to be strong."

That was Ray telling Vihera's words, but I was half sure that the person who said so would also be the mastermind in the end.

"... you..."

Langa, who was listening to those two conversations, has a headache...... no, she covers her face with her hands like Ning Ro said her head was a headache.

Naturally. As for Langa, he wanted a clue to the mastermind of this case, and hung up on Dusker to conduct this forced investigation.

Even so, instead of clues, I've come to catch a real mastermind, so as a langa, I have a lot of trouble with what to say.

But that's not why I'm not happy.

"Hmm? What's up?

"No. Let me be honest, it would have been very helpful. Thanks for the help... I don't know what to say, I can't get the word out"

"Really?... Well, whatever that is. This guy can handle the mastermind thing, but it's that tentacle in the underground space. I told you not to go into underground space in the first place, but why were there so many adventurers and guards in underground space when we saw them?

Ray's words got a little tight, probably because there were quite a few bodies when he arrived in the underground space.

If Langa had followed his instructions, the body wouldn't have been born.

When it comes to it, what made you think that?

Ray, that was purely the question.

"Uh... yeah. As a matter of fact, the adventurers..."

It's hard to say, Langa, but Ray, who sees how it goes, somehow understands what it's all about.

I mean, it would be the result of the adventurers acting in their own interest.

Of course, most of the adventurers gathered to conduct this forced investigation care about Gilm.

But at the same time, many people act purely as adventurers, and some of them are important in the underground space… I guess that's what they thought when they found something that would benefit them.

As for Ray, who actually saw the rift and tentacles in that space, I don't know what that feels like.

If you can get the secret of that tentacle, it's definitely a big adventurer… it's a very big deal.

I guess some of the adventurers gathered could not have missed such an opportunity.

The result was a sight to call even that tragedy.

Asked that, Ray is no longer in the mood to complain about anything to Langa.

If this had happened in the runoff of the guards, one of the complaints would have come out.

But if they actually say that the reason for this incident is on the adventurer's side... there's no way that Ray, the same adventurer, can somehow say that.

If this is the word of someone other than Langa, could it possibly be sheltering the guards? I didn't think so, but as far as Ray knows, Langa wouldn't do that.

That's why Ray avoided saying anything more, too.

"Yeah, I heard. It was my fault. Well, it's not weird if an adventurer has a guy who reacts like that.... There are times when he's looking for the unknown, but it's not that many."

In fact, one of the reasons I become an adventurer is that few people ever want to see things with their own eyes that they have never seen before.

But this is the border.

That is what is almost achievable at the point of being in the Guild in that there are a large number of things that I have never seen anywhere but the periphery, and I see the unknown.

… it is not surprising that some people still want to see more of the unknown in the case of such people.

"It would help if you said so."

Langa nods at Ray's words in a calm manner.

Even as a langa, there was a lot about the one thing that went into the underground space on its own… there were some things that I really thought were different.

However, there was no doubt that the adventurer could not be blamed unilaterally.

I'm pretty sure the adventurer told me to go underground, because it's an unmistakable fact that the guards agreed to that, too.

(Tell you what, both of them... or something like that)

Having thought of it that way because of Langa's condition, Ray decides that even as he talks about it, he just gets awkward with each other, turns his gaze to Jarvis he has had, and opens his mouth.

"So, what about this Jarvis?

The mastermind of a series of events.

Naturally, that figure matters.

That is not a mistake to say that it is the most important of the mandatory investigations carried out today.

"If you like, can I keep it over here? Of course, Ray, if you're going to claim more ownership than you are, I have to admit it."

"I'm not going to imitate anything like that, so you can do whatever you want over there. Nevertheless, if you've heard anything about the situation, I'd like to know... but I'm not saying I can't do it around here."

If you try to lay it on, the reward you get for capturing this man is not that interesting.

Ning Lo, I was so glad that Giganto Turtle's dismantling was made progress due to the resolution of this one.

And I also have the idea that if things don't happen like Kobolt coming into the guild...

Whatever you do in the Guild, even a monster like Kobolt, is nothing but a troublesome event.

Beyond that, as Ray, my best hope was to resolve a series of events as quickly as I could.

"Right. If you say so, it'll help."

"If that's all right with you, why did you stop fighting in that underground space after all?

I decided that this was the end of the Jarvis topic, and Ray asks me again about the next topic… the part that bothers me the most.

In the underground space, that battle was stopped by Yomin, who came to call Ray, where it was going to be a full-scale battle.

I guess I cared about things like why I interrupted the fight.

"Oh, that one... it was Jarvis. Aren't you listening to me behind this scene?

"Before I heard about the area, the battle with Vihella began. I couldn't imitate anything like asking for information.... Well, based on the way I felt when I tried to deal with it, I think it would give me the information by properly acknowledging my loss."

"I see."

To Ray's words, Langa grins as she is convinced.

And when I turn my gaze from Jarvis, who is passing out, to Ray and Vihera, I open my mouth.

"Actually, one of the people I captured here knows something about underground space. According to what I heard from the person, the presence being summoned in the underground space seems to be quite high"

"... of high rank?

Ray questions the words that came out of Langa's mouth.

In the feeling of fighting, I didn't think of it as a very, but high-ranking existence.

Of course, I know you're willing to do something.

Because he actually saw Ray as a threat and used his tentacles to solidify his defenses.

But if you say so, it's a normal thing to do, even with wild beasts and monsters around them.

For example, there has been no communication of intent, such as talking to Ray about something.

Beyond that, I wasn't convinced by Ray, although it wasn't very much when that being was said to be a high-ranking being.

"At least that's what the guy who had this information said. I don't know if that's actually right. … Besides, I'm pretty sure he said that if he imitated the contract forcefully, he wouldn't know what the consequences would be"

"... I see. Is that why you stopped fighting?"

With disapproval, Ray nodded convinced by Langa's words.
