Legend

A man who bled out of his groin, blew bubbles out of his mouth and passed out.
Watching the man, Ray was waiting for the guards to come.
But...... looking at such a man, I realize that the discomfort since I came to Gilm has not yet disappeared.
(Why? Wasn't this man the killer of this one? Or, I don't know if it's magic or skills or magic items, but it's simply not out of effect yet?
It was a lightly knocked out Ray, but that's only because Ray.
Somehow this man, even though he was extinguishing his killing temper by some means, succeeded in coming right behind Ray and piercing his dagger.
... but in the end the dagger couldn't pierce the dragon robe.
Still, it's amazing enough that you gave Ray a blow with a dagger.
Because he's such an awesome man, I can convince Ray that this one case was a mastermind.
I can... At the same time, it was an unmistakable fact that I don't think this is over.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa."
Turning to such a voice, there was one man, in balloon-like shape.
Until earlier, what was its shape? If it showed a mild movement in its back, a man who was juggling using more than ten daggers while going and coming around it.
The man apologizes for looking sorry.
Although Ray didn't know if he thought it was really bad because he had clown-reminiscent makeup on his face.
In fact, it's not such a strange story that a man who was on the street makes a bad mistake about his failure because this man failed to juggle and one of his daggers stabbed him near Ray became the cut that the fainting man had set up on Ray.
"Never mind. Your art was usually amazing. That it was so awesome doesn't surprise me that there has been a slight failure.... but if you're going to do it in public, I think you should make it perfect without fail."
"... not anymore"
A man who comes back to Ray's words with his head down.
To a man like that, Ray speaks quietly that he doesn't care again.
In fact, with regard to this one case, it wasn't that this man was really the cause, it was pure Ray's feeling that it was only a hang-up.
More than that, he decides he can't help blaming this street performer man, and tells him he doesn't need to worry about it again.
A man who gracefully graces the words of Ray so much that he doesn't think he has a body like a balloon.
"Apparently, my actions have led to such consequences"
"Really? I don't think you need to worry about that much though. If you hadn't failed that time, this guy would have circled right behind me. If you think about it, you can't deny the possibility that the same thing was happening in the end."
"... thank you"
To Ray's words, the man gives a deep salute.
As far as that goes, I just seem to regret that my actions put Ray in jeopardy.
So I guess you feel guilty about this one.
"Whatever, it was bad this one stopped the street art on the way"
"No, if there's to be such a commotion, you can't help it.... Nevertheless, you were well stabbed with a dagger and you were safe. Do you still work out differently when you're an adventurer?
"Hmm? Did I tell you I'm an adventurer?
"If you're taking a griffon ceto, you'll soon know who that is.... right?
To the man's words, Ray is convinced.
Anyway, if you're acting on your own, it's not weird to know who you are in that Ceto than Ceto is acting together.
"If you say so, I'll have to convince you."
"Ho ho ho. If you have an adorable presence like Seto, it's harder not to notice it."
With that said, the man gently reaches out to Seto...
"Grrrrrrrrrr"
Seto rattles his throat to be vigilant about the man who has reached out to him.
The man, too, must have found out Seto was alert to himself. I can pull in the hand I was trying to reach out to stroke.
"Oh, this is... apparently you hate me"
"... it's unusual to hate Seto"
As far as Ray knows, Seto basically never refused anyone in the guild to try to stroke himself.
Of course, for some reason... for example, in the case of an opponent who would do harm to himself, he would also have perceived it in a sense that should also be called wild instinct... at least not least, as far as Ray could see, it didn't look like a man was trying to do harm to Seto.
If so, why the hell did Seto alert the man?
With that doubt, I turn my gaze to the man once and for all.
I am in a balloon-like shape, but I can move freely, not even in that shape.
The lightness could still be seen when juggling a dagger.
Is it its lightness that Seto was wary of?
I thought so, too, but if you're simply saying you're light, that's what a lot of people are in Gilm.
(When that happens... Could it have been unacceptable for Seto to have been light-hearted in this shape? Hmm, but is that possible only for Ceto)
I was thinking that way Ray, but I can call you just in time.
"Hey, Ray. We talked about you getting stabbed, you're safe!?
One of the several guards who came this way has been so vocal in a tense manner.
At the same time, he was the one who had Ray go through the process when he entered the guild and told him that something was wrong with the guild today.
That guard, who had heard from Ray that maybe there would be some disturbance, that's why he heard Ray had been stabbed and came in such a hurry.
To such a guard, Ray opens his mouth if there is no problem.
"Don't worry. Stabbed was stabbed, but d...... thanks to wearing this magic item robe I had no problem at all"
I manage to stop putting it out in my mouth with the dragon robe, and so I delude myself.
If you ask for the name Dragon Robe, you would imagine a dragon, naturally.
In a situation where a large crowd was gathering like here... and even more, in a place where there was likely to be others who would assassinate me, there was no way I could have said that.
If this was just the guards, maybe they would have explained the dragon robe.
"Well, good for you.... but I had no idea that the discomfort Ray was going to hit this far. Honestly, unexpected is a good place."
"Oh. And... it's not over yet"
"... what?
This is how the man who attacked Ray fainted - which seems tragic - but he thought the raid was over than he was doing, yes, the guards.
Even so, Ray says the raid isn't over yet.
The guard points a sharp gaze at Ray and prompts him to get ahead of the story.
"What do you mean?
"It's easy. The discomfort I felt when I entered the guild... it still doesn't look like this has disappeared. Even now, the discomfort remains intact. If the man is who that discomfort is, don't you think that's strange?... Well, if you're creating this discomfort in a magic item kind of way, I don't know, but I don't know."
Some magic items have the ability to predetermine the time and continue to activate the effects of the magic item until that time.
Speaking of Ray's impressions, it's a timer feature.
If it's a magic item with that hand function, it's not surprising whether the user has passed out or is still working.
(Though...)
I see guys fainting all the time, but it doesn't seem like they have some kind of magic item in particular.
Of course, I can't deny the possibility that Ray has it so he can't find it.
"Right. In that case, we need to get a lot of information out of this guy. … before we do, we need to treat it."
I guess the guards finally made sure the guy was fainting there.
He bleeds out of his groin, sees a man blowing bubbles out of his mouth, and squeaks like that with a slightly convulsive look.
I know how much more intense it is to be kicked in the groin than the guard is also a man.
So I guess that's what I thought when I saw a guy who was fainting and I saw him like this...
"You... you've been able to imitate this a lot. You're a man too, aren't you? And yet, how well..."
"Even if they say so. He was attacked all of a sudden watching a street performer's art. Now anyway, there's a big audience around then...... is that it?
Ray tried to explain the situation to the street performer earlier, while explaining it to the guards, but when he realized that the street performer was nowhere to be seen.
Until I talked to the guards, they said I normally talked to Ray.
"What's up?
"No, there was a street performer here until just now... he's gone at some point"
"Oh, you should have said that. Um... what can I say. Yeah, round guy."
"Yeah, yeah, like that"
While agreeing with the expression round, I'm convinced that that street performer has some reason not to want to be involved with the guards.
Gilm on the periphery brings together those with a variety of circumstances.
It's not strange that there's something dark behind that, naturally.
(No way, that street performer was one of these assassins too... No, don't you?
I'm pretty sure Seto was on guard or that the street performer's juggling failed was the hang-up and the guy moved on to action, but I still didn't think Ray was one of those guys who was fainting like he saw.
If you're one of them, it's not strange to do things like help a fainting man or seal his mouth so he doesn't talk about anything unnecessary.
I still didn't think he was one of the guys, considering he wasn't acting like that.
"Anyway, if you can, you can tell me a lot about things from this guy. … but given the current situation, which is still uncomfortable, there is no denying the possibility that new sources will come again."
"Don't wonder what to say at a time like this"
Ray is being targeted by assassins, but he only sees it as a source of information, not as a threat.
Honestly, if the guards were in a similar situation, I don't think they'd be able to stay in a relaxed situation so far.
(with the adventurer...... no, is it wrong to compare myself to Ray)
An adventurer with an alias and himself as only a single guard.
Given the difference, it was natural that there was a huge difference there.
"Whatever, be careful. Ray and Seto are important people in the Guild. Especially Seto."
"I wish you'd said I was there."
I give that back to the guards, but I also understand that Ray also has a big role Seto is playing in the guild.
Many are enlivened by the effects of the mascot character Ceto.
It also imitates that some people do not run into evil so that they cannot face Seto, and that Seto stops those who walk around the city and work some evil.
Many come because they want to see Seto after hearing the rumors of Seto.
Rank A Monster...... No, it's a rare species from using various skills, and if you try researchers and alchemists just for Ceto, who is recognized as a monster worth Rank S., you'll naturally want to meet Ceto.
Not to mention Seto understands people's language and is also very important in character.
Even less, it's very different from a wild monster that attacks people without question.
"Gru?"
What's wrong with Seto like that, with his name being called? and tilt his little neck.
I tried to assault Ray... no, I was a little shocked that I couldn't find the exact person I attacked up front, but now I seem to have regained some of it.
Ray opens his mouth as he strokes Seto's head as he approaches.
"I can't take the trees I've harvested yet more than I'm still uncomfortable, so I'm gonna walk around a little bit more"
"Gru!"
To Ray's words, Seto squeaks with joy.
If I tried Ceto, I wouldn't be able to find someone for Ray myself this time, so I guess that's what he thinks next.
Ray said goodbye to the guards and left the scene, grinning at how Seto was doing.
