Legend

"Ray? What's going on?

The guards who were looking around the city said so when they saw Ray.

I spoke in a light tone, as usual, but the look quickly turned into something serious.

Seeing how Ray was doing, I guess it's because I thought that this wasn't a half-breed event.

Actually, a little assassin attacked me.

"... are you all right?

A guard who hears he was attacked by an assassin and checks on Ray.

But Ray nods back when there's nothing wrong with such a guard.

"What do you think I'd do so easily to an assassin around here? Most of the guys who attacked me are captured.... there was one guy who killed him in the middle of a battle."

"That can't be helped"

The guard who hears Ray's words tells him so without blaming him in particular.

If you try to be a guard, the thought of doing well is stronger when you hear you killed the assassin who attacked you.

However, if they heard that they had killed everyone, I might have blamed them a little because I couldn't get the information out.

They say they're capturing the majority this time, so there's nowhere to be dissatisfied with the guards.

"So how many assassins attacked you? What about the arm?

"You three. Two of them are captured alive. The skill of battle was there, but he was good at acting"

"... the two of us. As for Ray, I thought a lot more assassins were after him."

The guards have a strong trust in Ray's prowess.

That's so much so that Ray would decide that it wouldn't be difficult to repel an assassin, even if he told me he was attacked like he is now.

That's why I wasn't so worried about this assassin disturbance either.

"That's all, you mean he was more handsome over there overall. So I tried to kill myself where I was about to lose, so I'm stopping it, tying my hands and feet together, and I'm putting the ape in place so I don't bite off my tongue... can you take it on? If I could, I'd like to know where you asked me to assassinate you... or where you ordered me to assassinate you."

"Um, I don't know. If someone's in charge of the interrogation, he might be able to handle it somewhat."

It was also possible for Ray to predict that the person in charge of the interrogation was probably busy for some reason, given the state of the mouth cage.

But then, as Ray, I'm almost lost.

I need information as soon as I can.

I want to know as soon as possible who's behind this one.

(Then the Knights? No, but I keep the guys who came to scout.)

If you are a Knights, it is possible that there are many experts in that hand.

If so, maybe...... I really could not deny the possibility that something could be done.

"What do we do? If you're a guard and difficult, I'll take it to the Knights."

In that word, the guard gives a difficult look.

The Guards and the Knights are not hostile.

Still, I guess there's something like a sense of competition in the sense that we're protecting the security of our guilds from each other.

If we could, we'd like to do the interrogation ourselves, honestly.

Having guessed the idea of such a guard, Ray opens his mouth again after a little thought.

"If the person in charge of that interrogation can move quickly, you can leave it to me. But if it doesn't seem possible, I'll leave it to the Knights.... So what do you say?

"Guru."

He was a guard groaning with remorse for Ray's words, but if I'm going to say what I can't do here, that's what Ray could soon go to the Knights.

Eventually I thought about it a little... the only thing the guards could do was snort.

"Okay, that's fine. For now, there's two survivors, right? Then let's take him with me and Ray. That's all right, right?

I snort at the guard asking that, because Ray has no objection either.

Nodding but... walking towards where the assassin is, I wonder and ask.

"Didn't the guards act at least in pairs? Why are you alone today?

"Because I'm busy. You think there's any other reason?

Sounds depressing...... that's what Ray could do to the guards turning his tired gaze on him, all he could do was snort about it.

Given the current situation in the Guild, it is not a difficult story to anticipate the busy schedule of guards.

(No, well, I think Master Dusker seems busier than the guards.... shouldn't I say it around there)

When you start planning to build more guilds, the next hassle that strikes you will be.

Dusker, as a lord, had to deal with the troubles.

Thanks to this, I'm only running out of free time when I go to bed and when I eat.

... No, I've often been working while eating lately, so it was only time to get free from work when I went to bed, to be exact.

(Wow)

If I had to do the same thing as Dusker, what the hell would happen?

That won't have to be thought through and will be thrown out on the way.

At least I can't imagine myself doing paperwork as extensively and seriously as Dusker does now.

"Ray? What's up?

"No, I thought it was up there."

There's a top up there.

Understanding the meaning of the word, the guard gives a less pleasant look and opens his mouth.

"I don't think anyone's busier than us, do they? And who's busier than us?

No one was busier than us in the dark, a guard who seemed to say so, but Ray shook his neck to the side.

"No, perhaps the busiest thing in the current Guild is Master Dusker. That's literally why I've been doing paperwork all day."

"Wow."

The look on the face of the guard, who heard it was paperwork all day and boasted of his businessness a few seconds ago, makes him seem unpleasant from the bottom of his heart.

I guess it's easier to be moving your body outside than paperwork, as is obvious from watching you play guard.

"What do you say? Can you tell me I'm busier, even if I ask you about it now?

"No, I'm still easier.... Not very much, but I can't imitate that."

"Right?... I'm definitely sorry about that, too"

If you have to do paperwork like Dusker, Ray better be moving around being entrusted with various roles outside, like he is now.

... That's troublesome, but if you're traveling with Seto, it won't take that long to get to a remote location.

If so, this one was overwhelmingly easier.

"Hey, it's the end of the line up ahead. You know?"

"Oh. There's quite a lot going on around here, but if you want to play guard, you need to remember. … the trouble is that these paths sometimes change without meaning"

"I know that."

Ray also often goes through places like back alleys with Seto.

However, it is not uncommon that I have experienced that the place that I should have been able to pass a few days ago is somehow impossible to pass through.

Such things as fights breaking down, fixing it, or rebuilding a house on your own… are phenomena that happen for a variety of other reasons.

Waking up for so many different reasons complicates the road.

Fortunately, the place where Ray was attacked by an assassin wasn't particularly where something seemed to be, and he was able to come back light.... Ray was quite free to walk around with Seto because it wasn't that complicated originally.

What surprised the guards who arrived at the end of the line was that they were tied up so that no matter how much they thought the assassins could lift up, they could not get out of it, and even fit into the monkeys.

Once Ray had told me ahead of time, but still seeing men and women tied up in front of me, I couldn't be more surprised.

"This, again....... yeah. You can have that kind of hobby with Ray, but I don't know if you're gonna put that on the table, okay?

"What are you talking about, what? This isn't about my hobby or anything. It's just a way to keep me from killing myself."

Not wanting to be misunderstood as having a strange taste, Ray returns that word to the guards.

Most of the time, his hands and legs are tied so that he can't move, and even the apes are fitted.

Besides, a man is no stranger to the fact that the guards have made fun of him that way than a woman is a convincing face if he is told she is beautiful.

"Gru!"

Seto, who was watching over the two men and women, is approaching with a happy chirp at Ray, who is back.

While Ray strokes Seto's head like that, the guard is an untied man... approaching and testing a man who was crushed to death by Ray stepping on his spine.

Nevertheless, I don't do that much detailed research here, and I'll call Ray as soon as I've done a lot of research.

"Ray, I'm sorry, but can you carry this body, too? I'd like to do some research."

"Oh, I don't mind."

Normally, I can't honestly snort like this when they say I carry a body.

But it's Ray with the mistering that does it.

We can't store living humans in mysteries, but if it's a corpse, the story changes.

The monster's body is in the first place.

… although monsters and people are very different.

All in all, the temperature rises day by day and it's already half summer cheerful.

If we leave the body like this, the stench will spread all around us, and eventually it will bring the plague, or will it go undead before it and strike those around it?

Before annoying the surroundings, it was quick to store them in mysteries.

"Well, these are the two of us later... it looks like we're still fainting, and that means you can keep carrying us to Ceto, okay?

"Huh? I don't mind if Ray... okay?

"Gru!"

In the words of the guards, I'll take care of Seto! and honking.

The guards appreciate how Seto looks like that...... Ray and I will ride the two of us who remain stunned on our backs.

Seto walks out with two stunned assassins on board, without looking particularly concerned.

"All right, shall we go to the jar then?... I wish I was there."

Ray also figured out who the guards were still talking about, although they didn't come up with a specific name.

You mean the person who should interrogate the assassin.

(If you're not there, you can take me to the Knights, so I don't really care about the area.... but still, given this one thing, if I could, if I could interrogate you at the guard's clock, that would be the best thing I could do.... with this gaze, it's not very funny to travel)

With that in mind, check the surroundings with the dragon robe hood on.

Then, from the moment it came out on the surface, I could see that many were looking at themselves.

Naturally. Regardless of Ray, Seto is very famous in the Guild.

Such a ceto has his hands and feet tied to his back and two men and women fitted with monkeys on their backs.

That can't be inconspicuous.

(I hate to stand out like this...)

While hiding his face in the hood, Ray's gaze is directed at the two assassins who still remain stunned.

An assassin is basically someone who crosses darkness from darkness.

It is common to poke and kill the other person by surprise.

In that sense, the little play Ray saw was quite familiar.

It would be too much of a downside as an assassin for such an assassin to be tied up and move in front of a large crowd... and consequently be remembered by many.

At least, if Ray is an assassin, he needs to leave the guild or change his face by some means.

"You're glad I'm here, aren't you?

"Well, I won't deny that"

To the word of the guard, Ray gives it back with a smudge.

Because if the guards weren't with you, it wouldn't be strange if you were mistaken for someone else or something.

If that happened, it would definitely be a hassle.

But this way, with the guards together, he assures me that Ray and Seto have nothing to fall back on.

Given the situation as it is now, I was very grateful to have the guards with me.

That's how they keep walking...... when they get sick of being turned to the gaze of curiosity, the Rays finally arrive at the guard's stuffing.

"Whoa, then give me a minute. I'm gonna take a look inside."

With that said, the guards went inside the stuffing... from Ray's point of view, it just seemed like that was the one that got away.
