Black dog asito.

Ray sees the man who told him so with a vigilant gaze.

I was wary because I originally called myself in, but even though Ray didn't say anything, he came up with the name of a black dog for some reason.

If I thought I had been fooled earlier by a man who told me he was going to lead me to a black dog Ajito, I would have been more incapable of telling you to honestly believe me without even being on guard.

"Who is it?

Ask so, and if you've set something up in this situation, I'll be ready to strike back immediately.

But the man at the end of Ray's gaze said he wasn't the enemy, raising his hands.

Look at a man like that, Ray, just a little off guard.

... Though Seto next to Ray still doesn't seem to have lifted his guard from the man.

"I'm not the enemy. That's all you have to believe."

"Isn't it hard to believe that without any proof?

Ray tells him to show some evidence, but the man opens his mouth with a little thought.

"When Ray approached this building, the people nearby took their sights off Ray, didn't they? Isn't that a little reason?

"It's..."

I can't deny that word any more than what the man said was not wrong.

The fact is, because it is definitely true that many who were paying attention to Ray strayed their gaze from Ray when they approached this building.

"What do you say? Now you think you can trust me a little?

"... right"

It was Ray snorting back at the man's words, but he didn't actually necessarily believe the man's words.

Still, the appearance of an immediate counterattack disappeared, so the man smiled and opened his mouth.

"That's fine now.... Well, as I said earlier, I'm not the enemy. Or exactly who you're looking for."

The person you're looking for.

Ray, who was told that, also wondered if it was a taste of the assassins who were after him at first, but from the flow of this story, I knew immediately what the man wanted to say.

"Is that a black dog?

"Correct. That's why I called Ray."

From the words, Ray remembers saying so when a man spoke to himself, wondering if he wanted to know about the black dog Ajito.

(I see. If this man belongs to a black dog, wouldn't it be strange to know, as a matter of course, where the black dog Ajit is?... but only if that's true)

I can't imitate that I completely believe a man's words just because he's about to be tricked and assassinated once.

I can't... but it was also true that there was only one way to believe a man than there was nothing else to do at the moment.

(Besides, if it's a trap, all you have to do is chew that trap up)

Having so decided, Ray decided not to fit in and try to get on with the man's words.

"Okay. So that means you can lead me to the black dog Ajito?

"Right. I don't mind that. But what the hell are you trying to do to get to the Black Dog Ajit? If you don't ask me what's going on around here, I can't be honest with you.

"You know I'm looking for a black dog aside, don't you know why?

Ray wondered how the man in front of him was looking a little bit of a chig hug, but the man shook his neck sideways against Ray like that.

"Still. Still, for once, I need to hear directly what Ray wants to go to Ajito for. If there's nothing wrong with being asked, it doesn't matter, right?

"That's... well, yeah"

In fact, if the black dog was involved in this assassination riot, I'd be in trouble.

Most importantly, I wasn't so worried that it was the marina that introduced me to the black dog.

"Right now, I'm being attacked by an assassin. That's just today...... no, I've just come to Gilm so many times. It has been a strong discomfort for me and Seto since we came to Gilm today to learn about the organization that is going to imitate us like that. That's enough to make me feel little sign of the assassin's murder."

To Ray's explanation, the man nods so much.

At first glance, you seem impressed with Ray's explanation, but you're actually thinking about whether Ray's explanation doesn't differ from the information you have.

Ray, who was watching the man, also somehow understood the neighborhood, but the current situation...... given that he told me about the black dog Ajito and was trying to get information there, there's no way I could say anything about such a man's attitude.

And dozens of seconds pass...... eventually, the man snorts.

"Okay. Then you won't have a problem taking Ray. So, what do we do? Do you want to go now?

"... for not wearing it, you make a good decision."

Ray tells her to be just a little surprised.

After all, I just thought I was going to get more lost and judge.

Even so, in fact, the man who heard Ray snorted lightly.

If so, it would be natural to assume that you had decided that from the beginning.

"There's a lot going on, a lot going on."

That's all I tell you, the man shows Ray the back of the building.

"Look, let's go. Follow me."

"... no, can Ceto come in too?

As usual, Seto cannot enter the building.

I can't get into the building just because I'm big.

That's what can destroy a building if you force it in.

That's why he asked if Seto could go inside the building.

"Uh... right. Can't Seto do it a little? But if we don't get through here, we're gonna be pretty far away. What do we do?

"For once, I'll ask you, that door isn't about forcibly moving somewhere with a magic item, is it?

"Of course not. I've never seen or heard of such a magic item.... Yeah, but wouldn't it be strange if Ray knew there was such a thing"

The man asked Ray in such a way as maybe, but Ray shook his neck sideways as he deserved in the words.

If you try to lay it down, the metastases are the only possibility I've ever spoken of.

In fact, the Bestian Empire already requires considerable costs and can only be transferred to a limited number of locations, and it is necessary to prepare in advance, but the transfer is made possible.

With that in mind, the possibility that we are using metastases here can never be denied.

"You don't have that kind of magic item. I think it would be useful.... It's just that if Seto is around, he rarely has trouble traveling at speed."

In fact, Seto travels at a speed not comparable to a horse running on the ground.

... Still, I also think Ray would be more convenient to move far away.

"Hmm, well.... Oh, that was Seto. It's possible for Seto to fly over this building, right? That way, we won't have a problem."

"... it's that simple..."

"Because this is a slum town, that's how natural it is. More than that, see, let's go."

That's what the man told me, Ray told Seto to fly over this building, and Ray walks out the door the man led him through.

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

After Ray went outside for a few seconds, Seto eventually came down from above with Seto's squeal.

(This is remarkable.... No well, I think it's wrong to worry about that at the time Seto was there)

While stroking Seto rubbing his face, Ray expects it to be a big commotion in Slam Street by now.

Either way, Seto suddenly flapped his wings and jumped over one of the buildings.

"Looks like Seto's here too. Then I'll show you around.... I'll tell you what, black dogs are only the tissue behind them. Just so you know, you're going, right? I really need to talk to you now."

"Of course, I know what's going on around there. But I still need a source to gather the information I need. In that sense, it's true that black dogs are great."

Of course, looking for an informer outside Slam Street would give you some information about Slam Street.

But the cake is still a cake shop.

If you want information about Slam Street, that's the best way to ask the residents of Slam Street.

And at the same time, if you're going to listen to people from Slam Street anyway, you should definitely listen to them from someone who has a high information-gathering ability among them.

In that sense, the organization Black Dog was optimal.

… the most important decision is that the marina recommended it.

"Hmm. Well, no. This way, then."

Did you convince Ray of his words, or did you not care from the start? Ray didn't even know the neighborhood, but with it, the man takes the Rays down the road.

It was only available at the back entrance of the building earlier, and the road is never wide.

"Gru."

A voice such as' narrow 'leaks out of Seto's mouth just because Seto, who folded his wings, is wide enough to finally pass through.

"Seto, you can use your skills."

"Gru?"

To Ray's words, is Seto true? and honking his throat.

Originally, the skills Ray told me to use...... resizing may not be something that should be easily brought into contact with others' eyes.

But now we can still manage to go down the road, but after this, the road is not always the same.

Maybe not with the possibility of a wider road, but considering this is Slam Street, that would be difficult.

And if you think about if you get attacked in this situation than the assassins are after you, Seto as it stands becomes a good enemy.

That is why it was necessary to ensure that some movement could be made, even if it were attacked by the enemy on this occasion.

"Hmm? What's going on? What happened? What happened?

Seeing how Ray and Seto are doing, the man who was moving on asks.

To such a man, Ray returns words as he looks at Seto.

"At this width, it's a bit narrow for Seto. It gets a little smaller."

"... small?

If Ray was a guy who looked like he didn't know what he was talking about, Ray turned his gaze to Seto, saying it would actually be quicker to show him than to explain.

Seto would soon have understood the meaning of that gaze, too. Activate the skill with a short squeal.

"Ugh, whoa!

Stunning voice coming out of a man's mouth.

Naturally. The size of the ceto shrunk from about 3m to 70cm in length.

It would be even smaller if the level of resizing skills were increased, but 70 cm was the best in Level 2 situations.

If it gets so small, there is no particular problem going down this road.

"In the meantime, this won't make Seto narrow."

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

To Ray's words, Seto squeaks with joy.

The man who was staring at such a ceto finally returns to me here.

"No, no, you're not! Why are you suddenly getting smaller!

"It's the effect of skills. Seto is a rare species with a wide variety of versatile skills."

Ray giving superficial explanations.

Most of all, it was more convincing than a monster born of warcraft and mastering new skills by the demonic stones of other monsters… etc.

Because in fact the man also showed some satisfaction with Ray's explanation.

"A rare species? With that said, it's like I remember hearing that story, like I didn't"

Watching him squirm that way, Ray strokes his smaller ceto.

… but that's only a comparison from three meters, and 70 centimeters is quite a size.

"Look, we're going faster than that. It's not much fun to sit here forever."

"... ah, oh. Okay, let's do that."

Nodding at Ray's words, the man starts directing again.

Actually, I still didn't fully trust the guy, Ray, but I still have the thought that as far as this goes, I would be relieved.

I just got smaller, because I obviously found myself surprised by how Seto was doing.

It seems to Ray that even though he was actually an assassin in this state, it's not hard to deal with it.

Either way, the two of us and one of us keep walking...... go between buildings and buildings and places that are usually difficult to get through, like fairly narrow roads.

(Is that tail protection?... At the time Seto is here, I don't have to worry about that. Ah. But this discomfort is making it harder to capture signs or something, not just killings?

From the experience I've been fighting today, it didn't seem that way, but it was also true that as a Ray I couldn't imitate anything that would make me feel completely at ease, beyond still not knowing who this discomfort was.

Either way, Ray and Seto keep going where people find it hard to walk...... about thirty minutes later, a man opens his mouth.

"Look, I see it. That's Black Dog Ajito."

That's what I told you. It was a two-story building.
