François had no choice but not to take the offered derb's hand.

On my own, I don't see how I can beat Ray.

Beyond that, those who are in this building… it is those who needed to rely on those sent by the organization behind them who are stronger than Francois.

Derb laughs when he sees François hold his own hand.

"Whoo-hoo. Thank you for taking my hand. There will be a lot going on in this case... but let's stick to each other."

"... right. I'm glad you said that, even for me."

It was François who told Derb that, but it's clear from François's expression that he doesn't want it from the bottom of his heart.

But Derb, knowing it, says nothing.

In fact, targeting Ray's life is more than one… it also takes the hands of the strong.

It was very gratifying to say that we could help ourselves, whatever François might dislike more than that.

However... I have been dispatched from various organizations, so some of them don't think I care about Francois's attitude.

Anyway, here we are on the border called Gilm... no, those who entered what should also be called the Demonic Realm and were still dispatched by an organization that was not expelled.

As a matter of course, there are many who are skilled in the organization… and at the same time are strong in me.

If we try to be such a person, it's not funny that François's attitude doesn't bother us, and most importantly, even though we have a back, François doesn't have it either - the derb we've found if we're forced to fit in - that we're here.

"Whoa, what's that attitude! Though it's probably the lowest end of the list! Are you defending your position!?

That's what I shouted at was a man in a black outfit.

... Thus distracting is the fact that some of the original personalities, but more than that, the men's men have been captured by Ray.

I headed for a reconnaissance of the lake, but it was huge that Ray was there.

Moreover, even those who tried to help their captive companions were caught or killed.

The organization behind it means strength, but so does Fumiko.

In this sense, this man's organization is questioned in strength by Ray, and his face is in a thoughtfully crushed form.

The current situation where one's organization is being insulted by a man just because he has an attachment to his organization is by no means interesting.

In those circumstances, a man like François, who didn't care, came out.

In contrast, it was impossible to ask him to deal with it calmly.

François will also remain insulted from now on if he pulls back here.

In view of what lies ahead, that is absolutely unacceptable as François.

"Nothing. I didn't come here to get the bottom line. I'm here because I want Ray's neck. I don't know how a man like you would say that to me."

"Ho."

The man in black, listening to François, whines small as he seeps the smell of violence hard into his words.

Only a man who is not originally the cheerful one, if there is another push here, the battle will begin here.

... No, considering those gathered here, should we describe them as killings, not fights?

Anyway, the situation was just like a one-touch instant...

"Will you make it there?"

Yes, my voice sounds.

It's obvious who voiced that voice without having to think about it.

The gaze of those who were in the room is directed at the voiced person… Derb.

Derb's condition is not much the same as before.

That doesn't seem any different than when we got together on this one.

But... that's only superficial.

If you try to be the leading assassins, there are only a few signs of Darb releasing... but it was definitely changing.

Thinking about the current situation, what the hell would happen if such a derb meant it?

Of all those gathered here, no doubt with top notch strength, everyone admitted it.

No, if you know a little bit about the background of a person named Derb, that's what Derb would be top notch in this from the start.

... Top notch and not top because each one still has a certain complacency about his or her strengths?

"Label Seth Hill......"

One of the men who was gathered here shrugs.

François didn't know what the word meant, but I guess the non-François facets understood the meaning of the word fully.

Tighten your expression tightly and gaze at the derb.

If you're a derb with that gaze on you, just turn your gaze to François and the man in black without paying any attention to what's going on around you.

"We gathered here only to take Ray's... deep red Ray's neck. Nobody forgets that, right?

Derb tells as he gently leaps over and over again as he doesn't think he has a balloon-like body.

That word out of Derb's mouth had such a strange power that it would not give anyone but the option to snort at those who were listening.

"Right. That's why we shouldn't have a senseless fight here. If you want to return the opponent, that's all you have to do to defeat Deep Red and get him to recognize his strength."

When one of the women tells her so, the wonder and the air that was drifting around her becomes somewhat easier.

Seeing as that happens, Derb opens his mouth.

"Now, for that reason, I'll get to the point quickly… in this case, the problem is that Deep Red is not in the Guild"

"Oh, I hear you've been sleeping with the birthday tower lately."

The man in black who told him so remembered his men who went to explore the state of the lake again, tongue-in-cheek.

But I don't mind such a man in black, one of the men opens his mouth.

"But what I heard, they're back in the Guild like every day, right? Bring trees felled in the Trento Forest or go to the Lords' Hall"

"Right.... Our people failed at that time. He must have acted pretty well to keep his opponent alert."

Ha, and. If one of the men says so, another man laments that the lower end was caught in his own organization as well.

"Oh well, somehow your organization has done a lot of damage. My organization was still in the process of gathering information, so no harm has been done."

"Damn, I guess I just spared the damage because I'm blunt"

I whine to sound like the woman who said the man in black wasn't causing the damage, but the woman listens without looking particularly concerned about the words.

"So, what do you do? This is how the arms of each organization came together, and I'd like to work with all of them if I can."

"Don't be stupid. You think we can all work together with this crowd? That will only make the damage worse"

Those with half-arms may be able to imitate, to some extent, cooperation.

But here we are gathered, all of them with the arms they deserve to call first class.

In other words, my own way of fighting exists.

Even if such people try to cooperate poorly, that's just how we can't demonstrate each other's strength.

Many of those who were listening nodded at the words of the man who told them so.

"Then why did you come all this way?

"You don't even have to think about that, do you? Set it up separately, but don't argue with each other when you run into it by chance.... You didn't hear that before you came?

Instead of each cooperating and attacking Ray, they do not stand in the way of those who are here when each attacks.

Also, bring your own information about Ray.

This was a place for discussion.... Darb brought François, which made the flow a mess.

"With that said, I remember hearing about that... but that's Ray's info, right? I don't know, it's pretty widespread. That's why there are rumors in there that there's no clapping."

"Uh, yeah. Ray's been famous for the last few years, hasn't he? In those years, it quickly became a deep red alias.... You're a pain in the ass."

"I heard you were training as a wizard's apprentice, right? I got Seto then too. Something like that.... I don't know how I can get a Griffon."

Each of them speaks like Ray and Deep Red, so if anyone was listening to this story, they wouldn't know if it was referring to the same person.

... but only Ray, the celebrity, will soon be known.

"Whoo-hoo. I know you want to talk a lot, but the first thing you need to do is take Ray down. I know what he's capable of… Sickles, spears, magic items on both sides, but using them means that the sickle is a magical activator and uses a variety of magic, starting with the magic of flames"

"Especially famous is the tornado of fire, isn't it? Most of all, it won't work in or near the Guild, and it won't work in the Trent Forest."

Speaking of Ray, he was famous for using flaming tornadoes, but those here are assassins.

You don't have to worry about being used as a tornado of flames for now, because it hits Ray in small numbers.

"What's troublesome is that you're a wizard, but you're also a strong melee."

Yeah, yeah, and.

Everyone who hears that opinion nods.

Even the derb is nodding, I guess it proves how exceptional Ray's style of combat is.

"Besides, there's also a griffon ceto, isn't there? Besides, if you're not lucky, General Princess, or the former guild master of the Guild, or Vihera, who was called the Mad Beast in the labyrinth city of Exil."

"... Regardless of the latter, it basically hurts that Ray is acting with Seto"

"Right. Is Ray the tower of birth now? I guess party members don't have to worry because I'm sleeping near it, huh?

"Right.... The question is how to defeat Seto."

"That ceto, too, is not just a griffon, it's a rare species, it's a monster worth rank s, right?... how to defeat such a monster."

I understand the difficulty of defeating Ray as much as I talk.

All gathered here are the masters of each organization.

François is also very high in the sense of its combat power.

Despite all of those people, I don't think we have a winning shot given the difference in power from Ray.

"The trouble with Seto is that its offensive power, too, but above all, it's free to fly. Even if we manage to hunt down Ray, we'll be able to escape into the sky when Seto gets on board.... Derb, can you do something?

"I can't."

High...... that was a derb that could make leaps like flying rather than jumping, but still it was only a leap.

If we can escape into the sky to Seto, who can fly in the true sense, there's no way we can catch up.

"When that happens, you're in the guild if you're going to raid. You can fly on a set outside, but you can't imitate that in the guilds."

"The question is, can we hunt Ray down that far, right?... Ah, but isn't it harder to use a long-pattern weapon than outside the Guild if it's all over the city?... No, before Ray gives out his weapon in the first place... that's what seems like a more successful assassination in the crowd"

Everyone turns to the assassin's opinion.

The original assassin is mostly killed by poking his opponent's surprise, like that's what the woman's assassin said, being confused by the crowd, or in some cases entering the opponent's house as a maid or butler and using poison.

To say why those on this occasion did not think of it in that way, that would still be because each of those gathered here was more capable of defeating their opponents, even if attacked from the front, than of being handsome and distracted by the crowd.

"If we do that, we won't have each of them. If that's the way to assassinate him, you'll have to cooperate."

When one of the men tells him so, he does and everyone nods... his gaze moves to the darb.

Its body like a balloon is evil. It stands out and is clearly not suitable for things like being disputed by the crowd.

With such a gaze on his face, he wondered if even street performers would do it.
