Legend

Around the mansion were a large number of adventurers and guards.

Originally, if there was a murder, it was the guard's job to detect it, and it wasn't that adventurers were involved there... but it wasn't that rare.

It would still be because this is the aristocratic city that such a sight is now spreading in front of Ray.

Nobility is a privileged class.

In the aristocratic neighbourhood where such aristocracy is gathered, events such as the killing of everyone who was in the mansion of the Count Zorgela family would naturally make the aristocracy living in the aristocratic neighbourhood anxious.

And because of my anxiety, I guess I'm trying to get a little information in the form of sending an adventurer of my own to cooperate with the investigation in this way.

On the side of the guards, it must have been unacceptable to accept the support of the adventurers.

However, the current guards are really understaffed due to the construction work.

Beyond that, we needed to embrace the adventurers.

… of course, outside the grounds of the Count Zorgela family, there are many gatherings besides adventurers.

Those who were commanded by the LORD to bring some information at all.

(Well, who do you ask for information?... but I don't think the people outside the mansion have any important information. When you do, are you an adventurer trying to keep you off the property after all? I wish someone knew her face)

That's how I looked around the grounds of Count Zorgela's house...... there was just a face I saw.

No. Instead of the face I saw, it's an adventurer who got me into arbitration yesterday when Ray rubbed it with Anterm.

That's how Ray looked over there, I guess he eventually noticed Ray's presence over there as well.

I get a slightly surprising look.

To such an opponent, Ray approaches with Seto.

I haven't seen you yesterday.

"Oh. So? What do you want to hear?

From what Ray did, I guess he was also judging that he was craving some information. Without preconditions, he asks me to go straight in.

As Ray, I open my mouth to someone like that because I don't have to talk about anything extra.

"Then be frank.... Was there an anterm in the body?

"No, you don't."

There is no hesitation, I tell you so.

Originally, the information in that hand is not such an easy thing to tell people.

So why did you honestly open your mouth this time?

That would still be because I was looking at one thing yesterday.

... Also, Ray didn't know, but it probably has something to do with this man telling his employer's nobility about the circumstances and that nobility putting complaints in the Count Zorgela family.

"Because, after all, Anterm is the killer in this matter?

I have no particular doubts about Ray being told that there were no bodies of Anterm either.

Anterm is more than rank A, he has considerable strength.

More than that, I never thought it would be that easy to hang on to someone.

"We think that's more likely for guards. I'm not the only one who's been collecting information about the Anthelm, but the rest of them."

Anterm got tangled up in Ray yesterday for his ceto desire.

But that's not that yesterday was special, because Ray was having problems with many adventurers while he was in the other world. … also by means such as unilaterally causing an opponent.

So Anterm was resented by various adventurers,... would have even hated him.

That's why Anterm's intel gathered right in the guards.

"So when exactly did all these people in this mansion get killed?

Yes, Ray asked, probably because there was still one case where Seto noticed a presence approaching the grounds of Marina's house last night.

In the end, who is it...... Ray is half sure, possibly an anterm, but was all the residents of the mansion killed after one of those anterms, or did they all come to the premises of the Marina's house after one of the kills?

"I don't know much about that area. … even if I know, it's subtle whether or not to give me information over here."

"Try being a guard and realize that this one is only our job... and that's not wrong."

In the first place, so far, the adventurer has something to do with the investigation of the case, because this is still the aristocratic district.

So to speak, power is what it is.

For a guard, you naturally don't think that's funny.

"With that said, I heard from an adventurer I met on my way here that the aristocratic city might be shut down, but what about the area?

"You haven't heard anything like that so far. In the first place, where we just closed down the aristocracy, it doesn't make sense, does it? Anterm's already on the run.... Yeah, but it could be possible that the escaped antelm would be rigorously guarded from entering the aristocracy again."

"That's a pain in the ass. You know, when you go into the aristocracy, you need to give out guild cards or something?

"You don't know that far. However, there is no denying the possibility of that happening."

To the man who tells him so, Ray briefly says so and then sees the mansion of the Count Zorguela family.

(I don't know where Anterm went, but that's the hard part.... Can you find it in Seto's olfactory ascent? No, unless you have something that smells like anterm, but it shouldn't be possible to get it now. Because... in the meantime, you should forget about it now. Trent Forest first)

If the anterm comes, you can rest assured that it can be detected with a magic item.

Fighting from the front, Ray had no idea he was going to lose to Anterm.

Beyond that, if you can see the target attacking you, there are many ways to deal with it.

... Though I thought it would be troublesome if Anterm didn't choose such means as accurately understanding his strengths and fighting Ray from the front.

"A lot of information, thanks. Then it's time for me to go."

"Are you sure? Thinking about yesterday, Anterm's definitely going after Ray, right?... not exactly Ray, but Seto."

"Gru!"

I'm fine! and to the man's words, Seto rings his throat.

Seeing how Seto is like that makes a man laugh at things like that unexpectedly.

The man also knew that he would have to be more serious.

But as far as Seto was concerned, that's how I figured it would be.

Brighten those who watch naturally.

I guess that's also one of Seto's abilities.

"This is how Seto says it's okay, and I don't think it's a problem. Bye."

Waving gently, Ray leaves with Seto in front of the mansion of Count Zorguela's house.

And far enough away, Ray will see how Nielsen is in the dragon robe...

"Sooo, sooo..."

I haven't heard Ray's conversation at all so far, and I was completely asleep.

(Well, I'm hungover, and I can't help it.... it would be better than making a loud noise here)

If I had listened to Nielsen talking about Anterm, I would have definitely acted a lot out of that personality.

As a result, there was a great chance that Nielsen would stand out in places like the one earlier, and that would have definitely been a hassle.

Given the circumstances around it, it was definitely convenient for Ray to have me asleep like this.

"Do you want to leave the aristocracy first? If security gets tighter, it might take a while to get out."

In the aristocratic district alone, there are never many people in and out of itself.

No, that's a lot of people going in and out, but they're still, naturally, smaller than the ones coming in and out of the guild.

That's why it would be easy to understand if we were in and out of this aristocratic neighborhood.

"Grrrrrrrr?"

You're going to the Trent Forest? And a throat-beating ceto.

"Oh. I need to get a magic item first... and let Master Dusker know about this... no, do you naturally get the information even if I don't"

Even for Dusker, the aristocratic city is a very important place.

So, if there were to be such an incident in this place, the report would naturally go immediately.

(Oh, but it's possible you don't know about the anterm thing. That being the case, you should pass on this information a little faster. For example, do I need to let you know before I go to Trent Forest after all)

Judging so, he opens his mouth as he strokes Seto.

"Sorry, Seto. I knew I'd meet Master Dusker for a moment before I went to Trent Forest. If we don't, we're gonna be in trouble."

To Ray, who told him so, Seto would ring his throat saying he understood.

"Anterm, you say? You think that man is the culprit in one of the mansions of Count Zorgela's house?

In the office in the Lords' Hall, Ray was meeting with Dusker.

Originally, Dusker is busy in the morning.

Even though that's usually busy, that's not all. Today there is one thing about the Count Zorguela family.

With that in mind, even Ray wouldn't be able to see you that easily if you were supposed to.

Even when Ray actually wanted to see Dusker, he was told by Dusker's men that it was difficult to meet him because he was currently busy.

But still, Ray managed to talk to me.

Instead, tell him you have information about the Count Zorgela family.

That's how Dusker finally made time to meet Ray.... I was the first one to say that I still can't take that long.

Ray didn't have time either, so when he walked into the office and sat on the couch, he immediately told him that Anterm was likely the killer in one of the Count Zorgela's cases.

"It's just that it's more than likely. It's not like there's definite evidence. But...... among those who died in the mansion of Count Zorgela's house, the figure of Anterm was nowhere to be found. In that case, it naturally seems suspicious. Other than that, considering one thing yesterday..."

Ray also talks about yesterday.

If you're a Dusker who knows that information, it's no strange story to conclude so.

"Anterm?... What the hell did you mean by imitating that? If this attacked Ray, I can understand what that means. But why are you imitating this..."

"You don't know. I just don't know if it's an anterm, but last night...... I'm pretty sure someone came to the marina grounds in the middle of the night too. Because Seto was feeling it."

If it's normal, it's not strange to think that you can believe words like that even though you didn't actually see them.

But Dusker knows how much Ceto exists.

More than that, I could understand that if Seto were to say he had found it, he would definitely have found it.

"When that happens... should I think I've gotten out of the gilm already?

If it's normal, it's not easy to get out of the guild.

Escape by paying large sums of money to the back organization in Slam Street, or escape in disguise.... Otherwise, given Anterm's prowess, will he forcefully get out?

However, there are times when construction work is under way, and it is easy to get out of that aspect.

Of course, there are soldiers and adventurers around alerting monsters, as was the case in one of the previous Cobolts.

But Anterm was no harder story than being a Rank A adventurer to travel to than those who couldn't find him.

I mean, if you really tried to escape the guild, it's impossible to imitate it first and foremost.

"What do you think? Normally, my employer... on the contrary, he killed everyone in the mansion, and I don't think he's in the Guild anymore. Just think about when you got involved with me... I wonder how far you're craving Seto."

If you don't feel that much value in Ceto, chances are you're already out of the gilm.

Even if you get out of the guild, it's harder to act as an adventurer anymore than the other guilds will soon be informed about the Anthelm matter by the pair of orbs the guild has.

(No, I don't care if you're getting out of here, but it's not weird to turn your hand around in the guild than the Rank A adventurer caused all this commotion)

With that in mind, Ray continues his conversation with Dusker.

... It should be noted that Nielsen was still asleep in the dragon robe if his hangover had not healed.
