The storm of wind spirits settled, for more than a dozen minutes.... Eventually, an earlier man brought in a guard.

Nevertheless, it was too late to do it than things were already over.

"Uh... so? Can I ask what the hell happened to this?

A guard asks Ray.

While asking, there is a slight shading and blaming color in the eye that looks at Ray.

It's not that uncommon for Ray to be targeted by someone.

But at the same time, it would be too much to kill the person who attacked us. A gaze with that meaning.

Ray opens his mouth as he protests that gaze.

"I'm telling you, I didn't kill that man. By some means, he rampaged the Spirit of the Wind, and as a result, he killed himself halfway."

"... well, I think it's true what Ray says"

I guess that's all Ray has ever been friendly with the guards because he doesn't have the appearance to doubt Ray's words.

If Ray says so. That's what I believe.

Though naturally, instead of peddling Ray's words, he would examine the body by someone with expertise.

Nevertheless, the problem in this case would still be that the man's dead cause is the storm of the Spirit of the Wind.

Thanks to this, there is never a large number of people who can investigate the area.

Anastasia, who was with Ray, is an elf and spiritual magic user.

But at the time I was with Ray, there was no reason to trust the testimony completely.

This is not something that Anastasia includes, but simply because she was with Ray, which is a big deal.

That being the case, the famous marina as the user of spiritual magic will be the candidate, but its marina is also deeply related to Ray, and the possibility of defending Ray can never be denied.

"Uh... were there any other spiritual magic users? If you're not here, there's no reason to leave the body like this."

The guard groans like trouble looking at the body.

I'm just playing guard in the gilm, and I don't throw up or anything like that when I see a body.

Of course, I don't want to get used to corpses.

Summer is now approaching and daytime temperatures are higher.

Then, naturally, the corpse will be damaged...

"Whatever, I can keep it... you can't even do that, can you?

"Unfortunately."

Try being a guard, there's nothing like rotting if you keep the body in Ray's mystering.

But Ray could be the victim of this incident, as well as the perpetrator.

You can't imitate Ray like that by depositing a body.

"Well, I'll take care of that area, okay? If I stay here forever, it's gonna be an extra problem."

"Okay. However, if you want to hear anything about this, I'll do people... uh... now you live in the aristocracy, right?

"Oh. I've been staying at the marina's for a long time, so get in touch with me."

That's what I told you, Ray, but I'm staying at the Marina's originally because it was a big show of weird loyalty that Lizardman's Zozo didn't want to leave Ray.

The zozozo is currently in the birthday tower, so I don't need to stay at the marina's anymore.

Rather than that, there's also the Zozo thing. Current Ray sleeps as an escort to the birthday tower.

With that in mind, it's unlikely I'll be able to get in touch with Ray even if I contact Marina's house.

Most importantly, Ray has the role of transporting Trent forest trees, so he basically comes to Gilm once a day, so there's nothing he can't do if he wants to get in touch with me.

Ray then explained some of the circumstances to the guards, leaving the scene with Anastasia and the masked girl.

"Now, so this masked woman is Anastasia's assistant?

"Yep. I heard you were coming to Gilm, so if I saw Dusker's face and nothing, I was going to go to this kid's house too... just fine, so I decided to use it as an assistant"

"... I'm suspicious because I see it."

That's what Ray tells me, looking at the mask hiding the woman's face.

In fact, masked women who hide places like eyes, nose and mouth are suspicious people to see.

No, I don't even know for sure if it's a person more than he's hiding his face in the first place with a mask.

"Hehe. I thought you'd say that. But this girl... in Fana's case, she can't talk to people properly without wearing this mask. Even in this mask, I'm afraid to talk to people."

To that word, I recall earlier when Anastasia was trying to calm the Spirit of the Wind.

You're struggling because it's taking so long? And even when I told Ray I missed the doubt that this was normal, I did feel like I was scared of Ray because somewhere the words were powerless......

Still, in the end, I guess it meant that it was the effect of that mask that gave Ray a firm say in his opinion.

"I see. I get the situation for now, but can you really trust me with that?

"It's no problem. If Fana does a strange imitation...... hehe"

Vikri, and.

Having heard Anastasia's words, Fana stops moving for a moment.

"In the meantime, what do we do?

"Today? That's troubling. Would you like to see the marina, too, or is it a birthday tower near the research object? I don't want to get too far from there either... it's really bothering me."

Anastasia says the word troubled twice to show how troubled she is.

In fact, Ray was also unsure what to do in this case, so I can't say anything about what to do.

Many of the adventurers who are escorting the tower of birth are skilled.

That's what makes it seem like there won't be a problem without Ray for about one night, but still, in case.

That's how I get lost...

"Yeah, right. Stay at the Marina's today."

Make that decision lightly.

If Anastasia is entrusted with something in particular. If he simply wanted to meet Marina with high spiritual magic prowess, Ray would have gone to stay at the Tower of Birth today as well.

Or take me to the marina's house and introduce me to the marina, and keep going myself to the guard of the birthday tower?

But now Anastasia is the one who's been entrusted with Whisp's research.

For Dusker...... and it would be natural enough to give him some more preferential treatment than he is entrusting the study of Whisp, which can also be said to be the most important for Ray.

"Oh, okay? Then don't hesitate. Fana's going, too, right?

"Huh? Me too? But the..."

You didn't think you'd be taken to the marina's house yourself, Fana makes a bewildered appearance.

But Anastasia, who grabbed such a fana's hand, puts her face close and opens her mouth as she may say.

"Y-y... wah?

Rather than telling you, it just looked like he was threatening you, but if you think it's because you're talking about Anastasia and Fana, you don't even pinch your mouth in a detour.

Because if they told me this was two normal people, I would have had to convince them.

That's why Ray, Anastasia and Fana are staying at the Marina's today.

(When that happens, should I contact the tower of birth?... because if you go to the Lords' Hall and go to the carriage... no, it doesn't necessarily make you run the carriage from now time. Then I figured I should go directly to the birthday tower once and say I'm staying at the marina's today)

Having so decided, Ray left the scene with Seto once he told both Anastasia and Fana he was going to the Birth Tower to tell them what was going on.

"Um, it's hard to do escorts without Seto, to be honest, but I can't tell you what I can't do."

An adventurer entrusted with escorting the tower of birth squeaks like a little trouble.

When it comes to escorting this place, Seto's sharp sense of five is, naturally, a very great force.

Without that ceto, I can't afford to escort you, as usual.

That's normal for adventurers, though.

Regardless of Ray, who always acts with Seto, because otherwise adventurers usually don't have things like watching with fellow Seto.

"In the meantime, I'll be back here again tomorrow, thank you.... Zozo"

Zozo, who had given some instructions to his buddies in a slightly remote position, noticed that Ray had called his name and approached him.

'Master Ray, what's wrong?

"I'm sorry, but I'm staying at the marina's today, not this way. Nice to meet you over here."

Saying so, Zozo shows disappointment to the point that whoever sees it can tell.

For Zozo, Ray is the one who gives up his life and loyalty.

So it really depresses me that the main Ray is in a different place than he is.

Still, I don't think I have to be on Ray's side all the time, no matter what happens now, because I've had some days since I started following Ray.

This neighborhood probably also affects the presence of Zozo's brother named Gaga.

'Okay.... With that said, Brother Gaga said he wanted to have a mock fight with Master Ray. Now it's time to let him win.'

"Uh... yeah. I'm sorry, but you're behind on that. Because I'm so busy right now, I can't afford that. But if you're going to do a mock fight when you train in the morning, just tell them to take it and stand up."

To Ray's words, Zozo praises.

Away from such a zozozo, Ray called Seto, who was playing with the Lizardman children... to return to the Gilm.

"Ko, this is... how well..."

From the mouth of Anastasia, an exclamational but obviously frightening voice emerges.

Returning from the Tower of Birth, Ray and Seto came to the Marina's house in the aristocratic district with two Anastasia and Fana who had kept them waiting.

That's how Anastasia, who arrived in front of the main entrance to Marina's house, spoke the words.

Ray couldn't understand the meaning of the word, but he can still somehow predict it.

The marina's house is kept in comfort by spiritual magic, and also by spiritual magic in a criminal sense.

If I tell you, I guess that means you're wasting too much spiritual magic.

Actually, if you look at Anastasia, even Ray can easily predict as much as you think like that.

Most of all, Fana doesn't know what she's thinking because she's wearing a mask.

"Hey, Ray. Let me ask you something... in the absence of the master of this mansion, is there no problem for me to come in? As far as the spiritual magic hanging in this house is concerned, if anyone comes in on their own, there's going to be a huge problem."

"It's all right around there. When I started living in this house, the marina told me that I had no problem with the area."

When there is no marina, when a person living in this house brings someone in, when the Spirit does not allow it, etc., it will be unsavory.

That's why the Spirit had come to tolerate ambiguity around it.

"Really? I believe you? I wonder if you have a stronger defense than the fortress around here, a home protected by all these spirits."

I guess Anastasia understands the strong defenses of Marina's house only to be able to see what the Spirit looks like as a user of Spirit Magic.

Ray opens his mouth as he watches that happen.

"Look, we're going inside fast. You can't stay like this forever. Or are you waiting here all the time until the marina gets back?... Well, in some cases, it wouldn't be strange to be back"

It's time for the evening.

The early ones will have already finished their work, and in that case the work of Marina, who naturally works in the clinic, will be finished.

... In fact, after work, I go to a liquor store and drink alcohol, so I get upset and fight and get hurt... and there are people out there like that every night.

Around there, Marina was basically not treated because it was not a work-related injury.

Buy and treat potions in your own stomach or work with patience for injury pain.

"Right.... You can't wait here forever. Then... I'm coming."

Take a deep breath to temper yourself… Eventually Anastasia stepped onto the grounds of the Marina's house.
