Legend

The building was not so splendid as the building of an organization called Black Dog… trusted, feared and favored by many in Slam Street.

Either that or I'd describe it as a normal building.

Even in the Guild, a two-story building is never uncommon, it's a normal substitute.

Nor did it appear that there was any means of defense due to the organization of the Slam Street.

Most importantly, Ray is not a bandit, so his ability to tell if a trap exists is not that high.

Or maybe if there was a Bühne here, I could tell some kind of trap.

"Grrrrrrrr?"

Seto pulled the dragon robe with a couch, okay? Enough? I ask.

Now that I know what the hell that means, Ray nods after looking at the building and thinking a little bit.

"Right. I don't mind."

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

Ringing his throat with joy, Seto returns from about seventy centimeters in size to his usual size of three meters.

Until we got here, we used our resizing skills so that we could get through such a place.

... although I used to keep walking for quite a while and reuse my skills a few times along the way.

At first he was a guide man who was surprised by Seto's skills, but now that he's used to it or grown up, it doesn't look like he's saying anything in particular.

Instead, urge them to hurry ahead.

"Look, let's go. I already know the Rays are coming. There's no reason to keep you waiting."

"... you already know?

Mouth so much doubt in the man's words, and at the same time be convinced.

I thought I'd gone quite a long way until I got here, but I guess this is why.

(You mean you didn't trust us completely.... well, naturally)

Ray is not particularly dissatisfied, and he is convinced of the man's actions.

In the first place, even if I was in a man's shoes, I thought I would imitate Ray's presence in advance in the same way.

If this is the normal opponent - whether or not you can say it's normal to have something for a black dog - then the man wouldn't have done that either.

But the opponent made him an alias adventurer, and Ray has so far done devastating damage to some of the organizations behind him in Slam Street.

It can also be taken for granted that black dogs feel dangerous and ready to welcome Ray.

Either way, Ray and Seto are taken by a man to the building.

Naturally, there are escorts in the building.

From what Ray saw, he definitely had a lot of strength.

(Heh.... well, if this is a black dog aside, then it's natural to have a guy standing up for you. Besides, he knew I was coming.)

Looking at the men, Ray thinks that way.

... Actually, Ray was pretty nervous that the guys would be ahead of Ray with an alias anyway.

Around not putting that on the table, it would be a testament to having enough strength as an escort.

"Seto, wait here for me"

"Grrrrrrrr?...... Grrrrrrrr"

To Ray's words, Seto nods quickly, although he seems slightly sorry.

Given the size of my body, I guess I thought I had no choice about that either.

Wouldn't Ray be able to get in once he uses resizing, too? I thought, but it's also an unmistakable fact that I wanted you to be vigilant on the outside.

That's all we need to be vigilant about one of the assassins that's going on right now.

(Hypnosis or brainwashing? Or maybe it's some other way of attacking, but that could get the enemy to take nasty steps.... no, it's really annoying)

Ray has no idea by what means he manipulated the man who said he would lead us to the black dog Ajit.

Or it could have been that the enemy had originally drawn that man in for some reason, and that was the result of making Ray think about something extra difficult.

"Seto's outside.... Well, thank you."

"Okay."

To Ray's words of leaving Seto outside, the man who has guided him so far speaks lightly to the man who is protecting Ajito, prompting Ray to enter the building.

Neither is Ray going to disagree specifically with that, but he enters the building lightly...... at that moment he understands that a large number of gazes were directed at him.

In the building, it was like a relatively large office, and many of the people there turned their gaze to Ray, who came into the building.

Still, Ray was not immediately alert because there was no such thing as hostility in his gaze.

From the current situation, I found that the black dog people in the building were not hostile to me, so Ray didn't respond particularly to this.

And then the man who took Ray approached someone who was doing some work at the back table, even in the building.

He's in his forties and fifties, and he never looks like it.

At first glance, I don't think he's from the organization behind him, that's who he is.

Is it really something this person is in some position to do, considering he's also showing a feeling of weakness? And, yes, it's not strange that Ray wonders.

But the man who brought Ray here, he talks to the man without hesitation.

"Mr. Caonora, I've brought Ray"

"Huh? Oh, thank you. How was it? Didn't you imitate someone attacking you or something?

"Yes. Don't worry about that area. I picked a place that didn't seem like an ambush and came all the way here."

"Really?... So, Mr. Ray. My name is Kaonora, and I'm a black dog."

"... maybe you're the black dog boss?

"No. No way, that's not true. You can't imitate me like that, not very much. If you ask me, I'm your liaison with the boss. Because black dogs are an organization that relies heavily on them, and you can't let your boss know all about them."

"Uh... well, I guess so"

Seeing so many people working makes it easy to understand that black dogs are very busy.

... I came relying on a black dog myself in that, so it was a delicate place to say what to say about it.

"So, what Mr. Ray wants to know is about the assassin who's attacking you, right?

"Oh. Other than that, I've been uncomfortable since Seto and I came to Gilm, and I want you to do something about who it is. I think it has something to do with magic items, skills, or magic."

"... I see. That's a little difficult. Ask your boss."

"Oh, yeah, yeah. This."

That's what Ray said, the letter he took out of Mystering...... give him the letter that Marina wrote.

Kaonora, who received the letter, looks at the name of the sender marina that was written in the envelope and whines, ho, ho.

As much as Marina deliberately wrote the letter, I thought there was some connection between the black dog and the marina, but Ray is convinced that apparently there's more to it than he thought.

(Marina is a dark elf, living a long time. If you think about it, isn't it strange to have one or two connections with the tissue behind it)

Given Marina's living time, there was no doubt that the possibilities were more than sufficient.

When Marina finds out, she won't be angry...... but Ray was thinking about something that was going to be a subtle attitude, but eventually Kaonora looks at Ray and opens her mouth.

"With this letter, I'm pretty sure the boss will see you. … just need to sit on the couch there and wait for a moment for me to ask"

Saying so, Kaonora leaves in front of Ray.

"Well, it's time for me to go back, so excuse me around here."

When Ray sits on the couch, that's what the man who has guided him so far says.

If you try it on Ray, I can only thank the man who led me this far.

"Right. I'm glad you showed me this far."

"What, if you get raped by Ray in Slam Street, don't take the damage that won't spill. Think about it, it's nothing like this."

Says so, waves gently and leaves.

It would be a lie to say that I have little idea how Slam Street is going to collapse when Ray is around, but if he's targeted for his life, there's no way Ray won't fight back at it either.

Then, naturally, there will be damage to the surrounding area.

Most of all, things are strange at a time when the slums will collapse.

Either way, a few minutes after the man leaves, Kaonora shows up through the door.

"Thank you for waiting, Mr. Ray. This way, please. The boss will see you."

That's how Kaonora takes me to the back room.

There are naturally more upstairs than it is on two floors, and isn't the boss weird there either? The question was somewhat with Ray, but Kaonora definitely led him in a different room.

For example, Ray enters the room thinking that the upstairs would be using it for something else.

That's how I walked into the room. I was there first...

(Elf? No, the ear length is short for an elf. So, you're a half-elf?

What was in the room was a couch with half an elf and a man sitting on it, and a couch for three people placed opposite each other.

That was really all that was in the room.

If I were to dare give you another thing, the man in the half elf was reading, a letter written by Marina?

"What's up? Come on in. You've been talking to me, haven't you?

The man in the half elf, who looks up from the letter and calls out like that, is he in his thirties or so if it's just his appearance?

Nevertheless, make sure the half elves aren't as good as the elves, they have a long life span.

In such things as the novels, comics, or games Ray read when he was in Japan, there was a setting that half-elf was hated by both elves and humans.

But in this Elgin, there is nothing unconditional about half-elf hating.

Some areas are severely disgusted, others are tender from both sides.

In that sense, Ray didn't even know what kind of childhood the half-elf in front of Ray had been doing.

Nevertheless, Ray doesn't change his attitude because of what the other person is born into.

Nod to the man's words and sit on the couch for three.

"Okay, Dear Zorac. I'm sorry to be around here. I still have work to do."

"Ooh, come on. But don't push it. Don't forget to rest tight."

Half elf...... to Zorac's words, Kaonora nods and leaves the room.

"Are you surprised that a guy like that is in a high place among black dogs?

"Right. I won't deny that. I thought... and I'm pretty sure it was different from the organization behind it."

"The organization behind what you know is mostly out-of-town. Being made with those people isn't very funny.... but I also do things that black dogs can't tell people just about the organization behind them."

"You met Marina in that relationship?

"No, you were a long time ago with Mr. Marina. He helped me when I couldn't help myself."

Zorac's words were a little surprising to Ray.

However, given the well-looked after marina personality, it also seems to me that Ning Luo can be convinced.

"Right. With that edge, the black dog was in a cooperative relationship with the marina."

"... I'm telling you, I'm not running an organization with personal feelings"

Looking at Ray with a sharp gaze, Zorac tells him.

Ray nods back at Zorac like that, too.

We just talked a little bit, but Ray also knew right away that Zorac's head would be cut off.

"That'll help me too."

"Hmm."

Zorac gives Ray a slightly less interesting look on his words.

Try Zorac, Marina is a benefactor and at the same time a mother... or a sister.

The fact that such a marina wanted to be with the man in front of her but quit the guild master for it and returned to being an adventurer is by no means welcome if you try Zorac.

Nevertheless, that's not what Ray imposed on the marina, and I wouldn't do anything to put it in my mouth, no matter where I think about the person in front of me, beyond what the marina herself decided.

... Most importantly, as the leader of an organization called Black Dog, I definitely wanted a connection with Ray with a deep red alias.

"So? What I want is information. Is that all right with you?

Zorac asked Ray.
