"Hmmm...... this way, I knew the discomfort wouldn't go away yet. What the hell is going on here?"

That's how Ray squeaks as he walks around the city of Gilm.

Especially when it was a solitaire who didn't tell anyone, but Seto, who was listening to it, tinkles down his throat.

Even so, Seto is constantly exploring what's going on around him, making him look so serious that he wonders if there's anything suspicious or if there's anyone suspicious... a little nervous.

Try Ceto, I guess that's all I regretted about Ray being targeted when I was watching the street art earlier.

Even though the street art was eye-catching, it didn't actually prevent Ray from being attacked by an assassin.

Of course, if Seto wanted to show that strength in a place where so many people were gathered, he would have done a great deal of damage to his surroundings.

Seto knows that too, but still... it was very regrettable for Seto that he still imitated it to make Ray go for it.

Does Ray also understand how Seto is doing, softly stroking Seto, who is checking his surroundings to the point of nervousness.

"Look, calm down. It's not Seto's fault. Even I had a hard time dealing with that situation.... and he paid off the guy who attacked me."

Kicking and crushing a man's groin...... no, on the contrary, a blow like kicking and crushing his hip.

Less, that man would be impossible for life to perform his functions as a man.

I gave him such a deadly blow, but Ray doesn't particularly regret it.

... No, I killed my function as a Ningro man, but I didn't take the man's life itself, so I even wanted him to thank me.

Of course, I don't imitate it directly in my mouth.

"Hmm? Look, Seto. Looks like they're selling cold fruit water over there. Why don't you buy some?

Summers are already getting a lot closer, and daytime temperatures are getting pretty hot.

There was also something very intense about the sun's falling sunlight.

That's why fruit water cooled using magic items and magic is so popular.

... Most importantly, Ray doesn't feel the heat at all due to the dragon robe effect, and Seto is able to sleep normally while it's snowing or even in the desert during the day.

In this degree of heat, it is not particularly pleasant.

Nevertheless, even in comfort, it is highly appreciated that cold fruit water.

More than that, there was no option in Ray not to stop by the stall.

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

To Ray's words, Seto sounds just a little more intriguing.

If you try Ceto, if you can, you want to move to a place where there's nothing like Ray being attacked.

But cold fruit water is also very... it's definitely quite appealing already.

More than that, if Ray stops by, and Seto walks out to the stall as well.

Nevertheless, I'm not completely de-alerted around checking the situation around me, unlike usual.

"There you are. Oh, Ray and Seto. Our fruit water is cold and delicious. I've done a lot of research on the fruit formula."

That's what the stall owner tells me when he sees Ray and Seto full of confidence.

More stores sell fruit water this season.

Most importantly, there are more magic items to cool fruit water than are quite expensive substitutes, but there are too many.

Even stores that sell fruit water like that basically never tasted the same.

Whatever, which fruit to use. How many kinds of fruit to use. The percentage of that fruit is.

As such, the flavors vary from store to store for a variety of reasons.

That's why some stalls have flavor stores of your choice, and some stalls don't suit you.

In this sense, what the stall owner calls fruit formulas… combinations and their proportions can play a very important role in producing fruit water.

"If that's all I'm saying, why don't you have a drink?"

"Yes. And Seto's share, right?

"Gru!"

To the words of the store owner, naturally! and a throat-beating ceto.

Fruit water itself is already made, so it is served immediately.

Ray gets a glass of cold fruit water, as the shopkeeper put it.

Seto also tried to drink its fruit water...

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

Quickly kick up a cup with fruit water on your forefoot and at the same time hit Ray who tried to carry the cup into your mouth.

"Whoa!

I didn't expect Seto to hit me all of a sudden, Ray eats and blows that body decent.

Nevertheless, Ray manages to regain his posture beyond the fact that Seto didn't really mean to attack Ray either.

"Hey, hey, Seto?

"Grrrrrrrr...... Grrrrrrrrrr"

To Ray's words, Seto snaps his throat as he stares at the stall owner with a sharp gaze.

Why all of a sudden? and Ray questioned how Seto was doing, but I remember an earlier act... when he was suddenly poked with a dagger from behind.

Blinded by the art of the street performer, Seto was unable to realize its existence.

I guess that's why I reacted so quickly now.

"Chi!

Until a few seconds ago, the man, who looked like a pleasant stall owner, sees that the fruit water he gave him... blew up the poisoned fruit water that would have definitely died if he drank it, and immediately moves on to the next action.

With the dagger I had hidden in the stall, I would ignore Seto and storm towards Ray...

"Fool."

Yes it was almost at the same time that Ray shrugged and the stall owner...... no, the assassin was blown away by a blow to Seto's forefoot wielded from behind.

"Grr!"

The man blown away by Seto's blow hits the stall as it is and destroys it.

That was proof of how powerful a blow Seto's attack was.

"Even so... if you keep me from drinking fruit water, it's probably poisonous"

"Gru."

To Ray's words, Seto smashes the stall, throats briefly as he sees a pimply and cramped man.

"Sorry, Seto. Thanks.... I can't tell by the smell. When it comes to poison, it's a pretty good level of poison."

Ray's five senses are considerably sharper than normal humans.

Even the five senses of such a ray are poisons that could not be distinguished by the smell.

Based on the condition of the confident man, there would have been little flavor.

Exactly, tasteless, odorless poison.

... Nevertheless, that is only a story if you are human, and I was able to firmly grasp that there is poison in the fruit water in the five sharper senses than in humans.

If there was a beast man, the five senses were sharper than normal humans, so it was possible that he could have confirmed the poison.

Either way, it's enough to use such poison that the enemy is definitely quite skilled, not that it's a miscellaneous fish around it.

Most importantly, it was only about the treatment of poison, and other than that... specifically in the sense of strength when I actually fought myself, it didn't seem that far.

(No, considering it was Seto's attack, naturally?

With the noise now, Ray thinks as he gets his surrounding attention.

There weren't that many people on the street, but there are still some passers-by around here.

In relation to the construction of the additions, the current guilds are mostly people wherever they go.

There was no reason not to make such a big scene in such a situation.

In the meantime, Ray opens his mouth, deciding that staying this way could be a strange noise.

"That fainting man is an assassin. Seto sensed you were trying to get me to drink the poisonous fruit water, and he stopped me."

Seto stopped me from drinking the poisoned fruit water.

When Ray says so, the others are convinced of the wonder and its words.

That was a testament to the fact that Seto was loved and trusted by the inhabitants of Gilm.

... If you tried to be an average person, not an adventurer, maybe Seto had a higher level of trust than Ray.

"I'm sorry, can someone get me a guard?

"Oh, then I'll go"

When a mid twenties adventure-style man says so to Ray's request, he runs off the scene.

I'm still older at my age than Ray in his mid-teen appearance, but the world of adventurers is basically merit-oriented.

Even if you are about ten years younger than yourself - this time at an appearance age - if you are a strong opponent, many respect you.

In that sense, as an adventurer, I guess the man earlier snorted quickly at Ray's words.

"Well."

In an effort to do what needs to be done by the time the guards arrive, Ray sees how the man is fainting.

Seto would have added or subtracted to some extent, too. The blown man, several parts of his body seemed fractured, but not dead.

If Seto had really attacked without a clue, that was what the man's upper body would have been smashed and scattered in the literal sense.

To elicit information, or didn't you want to show the inhabitants of Gilm a tragic sight?

(Probably the latter)

Everyone in Gilm adores Seto, but at the same time it means Seto has a crush on Gilm residents who adore themselves.

I guess that's why in this one case, I didn't help to scare the people around me.

If it was an adventurer nearby, Seto wouldn't have cared about the area either.

"Hmmm...... but isn't this guy the same"

Ray, who gently examined a man's belongings while roping his fainting man's hands and feet and monkeys to keep him from biting his tongue or poisoning him, can't find the kind of magic item that is creating discomfort and squeals a little unfortunately.

Seriously, I'm not sorry to hear that, because this guy also thought that in the end he was just an executor.

If you're creating discomfort with your skills or something, because now that a man has passed out like this, it's not strange that discomfort has already disappeared.

As we tie up the man, eventually a guard comes along with the adventurer of the man earlier.

The guard looked familiar to Ray.

I just met him at the street performer's place, so I guess it's natural.

And he was also the one who went through the process today when Ray entered the guild.

"Again, Ray."

"Oh, again.... and it's still going on."

"Is that uncomfortable?

Guards who ask that in such a way that Ray knows, even if he doesn't say it to the end.

Try being a guard, this one feels the same as the last one, so it's natural to think so.

"It will. I checked this guy out, but he didn't have any kind of magic item. Because he's passed out, even if it's a skill or magic effect, he's supposed to be gone. The absence of it means…"

"Also, is there anything else?... You, what have you really done? I can't believe they're after me so much to keep standing up, can they?

When I was a street performer, I was a guard worried about Ray, but for the second time in a row... if that didn't hurt him at all, he wouldn't be willing to worry either.

"Even if they say so. Honestly, if you just remember people resenting you, it's countless."

"I guess..."

The guards can only honestly nod at Ray that he remembers people resenting him with dignity.

Nevertheless, the reason for being resented is not the reason for being resented by the good without any meaning.

For example, it would be the bandit hunt that stands out.

Try being the bandits, it's not strange to have a strong grudge against Ray.

They may also resent Ray because the organization behind his hostility to Ray was devastated.

Given the circumstances around it, it is still difficult to deduce whether this one case is a mastermind.

"More than that I don't know who I am, after all, is all I can do right now is walk around a lot of places and attract enemies as far as possible?... If we lose the pawns over there, we'll have to come out ourselves."

"Really? If we run out of pawns, he might think we're gonna leave for now, huh?

"That's fine then.... No, it's not good, but once it's gone, there's no problem."

To Ray, who tells him so, the guard gives a subtle look.

Normally, the assassin was after me, but I didn't understand him telling me that he didn't care about the mastermind for now.

At least, if a guard is targeted by an assassin, you can't be relieved unless you do something about that mastermind.

(This is the difference between adventurers and guards...... no, I guess it's the difference between adventurers with aliases and just guards)

Looking at Ray, I thought the guards were stingy.
