The gaze of jealousy directed from the guards went through for now, Ray turns the blackclothes over to the guards.
Only Ray, who often behaves face-to-face with others like Elaine, Marina and Vihera, naturally became better at receiving the gaze of jealousy from around her.
"Then don't ask these people.... By the way, did you hear anything from the guy you've captured so far?
"No, you can't. The man who stabbed Ray from behind still fainted in the first place, and the man who poisoned the fruit water keeps his mouth shut."
"... Anyway, if you're a fainted man, I think you can tell me something about a poisonous man."
From what Ray saw, the poisonous man never seemed to be patient.
A little more forcefully, it definitely seemed like someone they would talk to.
Nevertheless, his opponent is also an assassin.
It's also a nasty opponent of using a tasteless, odorless poison.
Even with all that courage, I guess it's not weird.
... It was also true that if I tried to lay it, I would only call it a very troublesome opponent.
"I don't know, I guess it's just the assassins. I'll try harder over here for once, but if it really doesn't work, I'll leave it to the experts"
"Expert."
I'm also somewhat concerned about Ray about what exactly that means to be an expert. I'm curious... if I hear that here or not, I'm likely to hear something I don't have to ask, and I decided I shouldn't go deeper than that.
"I'll leave that area to you"
"If you do, this one will help.... So what's Ray going to do now? I thought you were going to Mr. Marina's?
"I'm lost."
"... lost? Sometimes it's unusual."
As far as the guards knew, Ray always had the impression of instant execution.
Few have been pinched because of it, but even in such cases Ray has managed with strength.
In fact, it's not that I've always had summary executions, but I guess I had such a strong impression if I tried to be a guard.
Ray opens his mouth to the guard who comes at such a surprise gaze, even though he thinks it's rude.
"Oh. I thought you might want to go talk to the Slam Street organization more than an assassin like these guys attacked you."
"No, that's... leave it at Mr. Marina's"
I also forgot to turn my jealous gaze at Ray for going to see the marina earlier, and the guard immediately tells him so.
This situation now...... it was just an honest feeling on the part of the guards that even though we are busy with assassin riots today, we cannot afford to have a major riot in Slam Street.
Basically, guards don't get their hands on exchanges in Slam Street, but if the organization behind them turns out to be such a big deal as devastation, the story is different.
That's why the guard guy didn't want Ray to go to Slam Street, so I guess he told him to go to the marina.
... Of course, it's not like I don't feel jealous that I can see the marina in grandeur.
"Really? Then will you?... Actually, I'm glad I'm going to see the marina, so there's nothing wrong with that."
Several of the guards turn their jealous gaze again to Ray, who says so soggy.
Although, as for Ray, I'm happy to see Marina, but I was wondering if you could do something about the discomfort currently in the Guild with more spiritual magic than that.
If you can do something about the current situation with spiritual magic, it would be quite helpful to Ray.
... Though I had the thought that it would be quite difficult for Ray to think about it if he asked me if I could do that.
If this discomfort is being created by spiritual magic, it will also be possible to deal with it somehow by the spiritual magic of the marina.
However, if spiritual magic is not creating discomfort, even if the marina has a very high power of spiritual magic, there is no way to manage the discomfort.
"Well, take it for now... I'm about to go. I asked for these people. What about the corpse... what do we do?
"Don't bother if they bring it in the present situation. If you want to extract information for now, I'll let you know because someone caught him alive. The corpse... right. Bring it again."
"... even though it doesn't smell like a corpse or anything, I don't really want to have it"
With that said, Ray's tone doesn't have that much repentance.
If it's a monster's body, not a human body, it's probably because a good number of them are stored in the mysteries.
Of course, if you ask me if that's why I like it, that's for sure no.
"Even if they say so. That's why even if they bring the body under the circumstances, they can't look into it.... busy."
Originally, various problems have arisen, large and small, in relation to the construction work being carried out.
The guards are quite busy than they need to turn their hands over there.
What happened in that situation was an assassin attacking Ray to keep standing.
It is necessary to ensure that the captured person is not escaped, killed by an assassin who has broken in as evidence obliteration, or killed himself by the captured assassin.
Given the manpower to turn to deal with those, I can't afford to turn to things like checking on the body, or handling that body, though not very much.
If that's explained, we'll have to take on the other request too, only Ray, who's attacked and creating a cause to capture a bunch of assassins.
... Now I guess if Ray had a strong aversion to people's corpses, he would have talked differently again.
"Okay. I'll keep it for a while. Just pick it up as soon as you can."
Saying so, he waves gently at the guard and Ray walks away from the spot with Seto.
"Well, then... in the meantime, shall we head to the clinic? I want some advice from the marina on this one, and that's what I want."
"Gru!"
To Ray's words, Seto agrees! and honking his throat.
Even for Seto, the discomfort that currently exists in the Guild is a very troublesome substitute.
It's not like there's any special damage, but it's still very troublesome to feel uncomfortable.
For the analogy, it's as if I'm hearing mosquitoes flying extensively in my ears when I'm asleep on a summer night... such discomfort.
Although there is little clear damage, the discomfort is very much a concern at times of flux, and I will continue to care for a long time after that.
He wanted to do something about that discomfort as soon as he could, and it was only natural for Seto to think so.
(The difficulty is that the assassin doesn't come when he's in the clinic.... Normally, I don't think I would imitate that because if they attacked me or Seto when I was in the clinic, they would turn the marina on the enemy as well as me. Just wondering if normal works in this case.)
Normally, regardless of whether people think about assassinating Ray, etc., they actually want to do it, etc.
No, maybe it's because the world is huge, but I still don't think it's going to imitate something like a light attack like this one.
(No, well, I'm pretty sure this discomfort has a killing effect, and you're betting on this discomfort, or something like that?... I don't think it's anything other than suicide)
Ray is also, correspondingly, confident in his prowess.
It's true that if it was the first time Derb was attacked when he was playing street performer, it was hard to get his hands on this discomfort.
However, if you know that this is the case, there are many ways to deal with it.
In fact, the blackclothes and the derbs were dealing with it accordingly.
"Grrrrrrrr"
"Hmm? What's up?... uh, you should stop it for a bit today"
As I walked down the road, Seto accidentally rang out.
Following Seto's gaze as to why he made such a noise, it was several adventurers who saw ahead.
He's the one who's played with Seto so many times before, he even fed me a variety of dishes.
Just say hello to such an opponent, even a little as a ceto... and it's not strange to think of it that way.
However, given the current situation of being targeted by assassins, it is less likely to involve such opponents.
To Ray's words, Seto gave up even as he rattled his throat unfortunately.
I didn't think it was pathetic to see a set like that, but I still decided it would be better that way than getting involved in a raid from an assassin.
The adventurers, too, noticed the presence of Ray and Seto, but decided from how Seto was doing that he was probably busy now, and in the end he didn't have anything to say to Seto.
That's how as I walk, the clinic gradually approaches me.
But apart from that, there were problems.
… because the number of people around us is becoming obvious.
Normally, there's nothing that bothers me that much.
But not now.
Ray doesn't know where he's coming from any more than the assassins are after him.
From the first experience of being attacked in the crowd, as Ray, we have to be vigilant around him.
Although it was also unclear how many people could scratch Ray and Seto's senses and attack them in the absence of any follow-up to the Derb.
"Why are there so many people today?... Usually less, right?
"Gru?"
Really? And Seto tilts his neck lightly at Ray's words.
If I tried it on Ray, I would have felt like there were more people than usual, but if I tried it on Ceto, I would have thought it wouldn't be particularly different.
It was unclear which was right between Ray and Seto, but in crowded places we needed to be vigilant about our surroundings, no doubt......
"You've arrived with nothing in the end."
Look at the clinic in front of you, Ray squeaks.
That's what I thought when someone was likely to attack me in the crowd... I actually arrived at the clinic without anyone attacking me at all.
To be honest, Ray was totally impressed with the matter.
Given the fact that he has been attacked ever since he came to Gilm today, it is because he thought that there was no way he would not use this crowd.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrr"
You didn't get attacked, okay? Yeah, I see what Seto's trying to say. Ray gently strokes Seto's head.
"Right. I'm sorry, but I'll see you at the marina for a little while, so Seto will wait here.... Ready? The assassins may attack us, so be very careful around here."
"Gru!"
I'll take care of it. Yes, he strokes Seto's head, which rings his throat, and Ray heads to the clinic.
Dropping off such a ray, Seto lays down in an uninterrupted place.
… Although there are only a very limited number of places that are uninterrupted just for Ceto, who is three meters long.
Still, given the status quo being targeted by assassins, there's no way they can remain as easy as usual.
"Grrrrrr...... grrr"
If someone shows up after Ray, I'll take him down.
With such determination... I fell asleep on the ground to make it look the same.
When I opened the clinic door, there were slightly fewer injured people there than when I had been here before.
Most likely, there are many injuries at other clinics because the clinic doesn't have just one here.
"Oh, Ray. What's the matter with you? You're not hurt."
That's what Marina says when she finds Ray.
Try it as a marina, and you won't be able to imagine the sight of Ray getting hurt.
"Oh. Actually, I'm having a little trouble."
"Trouble, huh? Sounds like something Ray would say... can you give me a minute? I'm in the middle of treatment right now. It's not that big of an injury, so it'll be over soon."
"Okay. Then I'll wait here."
"Yeah, please"
Speaking briefly, Ray waits a little further inside the clinic.
Some of the injured people in the clinic don't know about Ray, who is that? I was looking at things like that.
Still, I knew in everyone's eyes that I was close to the marina, so no one would give a shit if they didn't know about Ray.
If a marina gets grumpy, she may experience strange pain even when recovering from spiritual magic.
If I could, it was a common feeling for everyone who was injured not to want to see me like that.
