Legend

"Wow!

Such a scream was made by the gatekeeper of the Lords' Hall.

Some of the reasons I screamed were because Seto suddenly flew down the sky in the middle of the night, but more than that, it would also be a substitute for what Seto should have called the meat chunk he had on his forefoot.

At first, I didn't know what the meat mass was, but the gatekeepers were the ones who threw it away the moment Seto landed that he wanted to make the time he was touching it a little shorter.

The gatekeepers also said that they might even come to the Lords' Hall in the middle of the night because of the information brought to them by Elaine and Vihera... in a way that made that anticipation a brilliant hit.

"Re, Ray! What the hell is this?!?

One of the gatekeepers screams at Ray, who jumped off Seto's back.

In relation to being a gatekeeper, this man was naturally acquainted with Ray.

That's why I asked Ray who this meatloaf was... a man without all his limbs.... I didn't ask, though I deserved the expression yelling at you.

"What, it's the killer in this case. Specifically in the case of the Count Zorgela family. You're listening to me around here, aren't you?... Oh, could I have said this?

"Hey, you! What are you talking about all of a sudden, something important and confidential!

"No, 'cause that's what I've been hearing about."

"Gu..."

Ray's words were true, so the gatekeeper's man can't say them back.

But still, when I don't know if I can tell you, I honestly hope you didn't.

"Look, calm down. I've heard it with you, so if anything happens to you, I'll punish you with it. Then go and report it to Master Dusker. If you hear Ray's back, you'll see him soon enough."

That's what my partner told me, and I guess the man who was complaining to Ray also returned it to me.

Ask your partner for this occasion, and soon he runs himself out toward the mansion.

Naturally, I went to let you know that Ray was here.

"Even so... this is terrible again"

The other gatekeeper man left on this occasion, in the presence in front of him...... looks at the amputated anterum of his limbs and squeaks.

Still, there's no way to blame Ray, I guess, because he understands what Anterm did.

One case in which even the maids and deacons without any sin were killed is an event that just makes me uncomfortable to hear.

If the person who did it was amputated as a punishment, it would be a natural consequence.

I guess Ray also understood from the man's words that he didn't look that disgusted.

I still faint... or gaze at the sleeping anterm without looking particularly concerned.

If you're a man of strength like the Rank A Adventurer, if that's what happened to you being lifted and transported in the sky, you can notice that.

Or if something like this gets thrown out, it's weird that you still don't wake up.

(heart-breaking task...... a little too much?

Ray thinks that way as he looks at Anterm.

The strength of the confident anterm was broken from the front.

Also, I gently broke my favorite devil's sword in front of me.

The limbs were amputated and little movement was possible.

By Ray's capture... and knowing about the fairy, the death penalty is almost certain.

Given these things, it's not strange to be heartbroken.

"Nevertheless, when this guy... feels like he saw it, he doesn't look like the kind of guy who would do that."

Seeing Anterm's face, the gatekeeper man squeaks smugly.

Ray will also look at the man again in that word, but if he is unconscious in this way, he is only drawing noble blood, and his face is neat.

Even if you describe it as a beauty shape, not so many people would disagree with it.

On top of that, there was nothing more difficult for a woman than being an armed adventurer: a Rank A adventurer.

... Although it seemed to Ray that when he was conscious, the inside of a man appeared on his face or he looked ugly.

"But even if it doesn't look that way, I'm pretty sure I actually did. You say people don't come to see you, right?

"Right. If you look at Ray, you feel smudged and that way"

Judging people by their appearance is wrong.

Not to mention, in Ray's case, that would be a typical example.

Less, if you look at Ray only on the outside, he doesn't look like he has very, but threatening powers.

But...... Until now, it has been an unmistakable fact that many have judged Ray by his appearance and consequently come across a scatter spectrum.

"I... no, well, fine. Hmm? You're here."

In the middle of the word, Ray comes from the mansion, the gatekeeper... and confirms the appearance of a few knights.

The knights approached those with the Rays with a serious look on their faces, but when they saw the anterm rolling on the ground they were naturally surprised.

The man at the gatekeeper who came to report, he had heard the circumstances.

But it was more impossible not to be surprised to see a man whose limbs were actually amputated.

"Ray needs you inside. Master Dusker is waiting. We'll take Anterm.... I don't think it's a problem for once because I haven't even bled, but this is okay, right?

"Oh. I have stopped the bleeding in the potion, and I don't think it's a problem because I let him drink it"

Ray, who spoke so much, maybe it's because of the flavor of the potion that the anterm remains stunned? And for a moment I thought, but I would decide that it would be odd to remain unconscious even as much as a Rank A adventurer drank a potion.

"Right. Then I'll take him.... Needless to say, I do not allow this matter to be spoken to by others. All right?"

That's what the knight tells Ray and the two gatekeepers, too.

Ray knows that one thing about Anterm is all kinds of things... really all kinds of subtle things, so he also snorts honestly at the knight's words.

The two gatekeepers nod without any particular objection because they think that there would be nothing stranger to that happening than working as Dusker's men.

The knight who saw how those two were, saw Seto at the end...

"Gru?"

What happened to Seto with that gaze on him? and honks his throat as he tilts his neck.

"No, well, wouldn't Seto worry about that"

I naturally know Seto nostalgic for many people, but regardless of the willingness to communicate such as nodding and shaking his head, he tells others about the Anterm… such imitations are not very, but they cannot be done.

That's how I understood it.

"Then that's why we keep the anterm. Ray needs to go see Master Dusker. Seto is... a courtyard after all? At night, though."

"Grrrrrrrr"

To the knight's words, Seto nods.

Precisely because I don't have anywhere else.

Given the size of Seto, there's no way we're going inside the Lords' Hall.

Or, if it weren't midnight now, there might have been a place where Seto could have waited, but there is currently almost no such place.

It would also be big in this case that the place where Seto can be and is most used to is the courtyard.

For such reasons Seto nods honestly to the words of the knight… each person on the spot will do what he or she should do.

Ray walks into the Lords' Hall and heads to the room where Dusker is, Seto waits in the courtyard for Ray's story to end, the knights take Anterm to the barn, and the gatekeepers stay on this spot to do their job... etc.

"Bye, Seto. Just give me a minute. I don't think I'm gonna be able to eat anything today."

Seto is adored by those who work in the kitchen of the Lords' Hall.

That's why, if the kitchen folks knew Seto was in the courtyard, they would often cook appropriate dishes with excess ingredients, or split the dishes that were largely made, and feed Seto.

But that's only a story that's unique during the day.

If it's midnight as it is now, naturally, there is no one in the kitchen.

... In fact, I am able to cook as soon as something happens, but in the current situation it was impossible to put a fire in the kitchen just to make Seto eat the food.

"Grrrrrrrr"

Touching Seto's head, which makes him look sorry, Ray enters the Lords' Hall.

Then it was as if I was waiting for such a ray... No, I guess I was actually waiting, but the maid bowed her head and thanked her and guided Ray to the room where Dusker was.

If this were Dusker in the clerk's office as usual, the maid wouldn't have bothered to imitate him either.

But now that Dusker is in a place that isn't the office, the maid showed Ray not to get lost.

And the maid showed me one of the rooms.

There are naturally several such rooms in the Lords' Hall.

The same room the Rays used the first time they brought Nielsen to the Lords' Hall.

That's how I get into the room...

"There you are."

I look at the person who was in the room and I hear that out of Ray's mouth.

That's what Ray said, not Dusker...... but two Marinas and Vihera.

I had originally heard about Marina going to the Lords' Hall to explain the situation, but still didn't expect to be in the Lords' Hall until she came back to clean up one of the antelms.

"Huh, surprised? It's about Ray, so I thought he'd be back in no time, so this is how I waited. I haven't talked to Dusker in a while."

"... right"

Dusker, pointing at Marina's gaze, comes to that with a subtle look of tiredness.

Seeing how Dusker was like that, I could understand how tired he must have been playing with Marina.

Nevertheless, Ray turns his gaze to Vihella as he seemed to be harmed himself when he went into the matter.

"So, I know there's a marina, but why is Vihella here?

"I was wondering if you could give me some intense information on the other person... as far as Ray is concerned, I don't think I need that anymore"

"Well, I won't deny that"

While returning that to Vihella's words, Ray fights against...... I think of Anterm.

That personality is close to the worst, so try not to remind me as much as possible, but about Anterm's fighting power.

Anterm's strength definitely had what he deserved to call a Rank A Adventurer.

The ability to fight with the Devil's Sword was definitely a first-class item.

The ability of the Devil's Sword also had the ability to fly slaughter and, above all, to instantly prolong his infirmity, which was definitely quite high performance.

Most importantly, the demon sword was also lightly broken by Ray's death size.

"Rank A adventurers were the only ones"

"... yes"

While convinced by Ray's words, Vihera turns her envious gaze.

I would have liked to have fought such a powerful enemy, and tried it myself if I could.

Nevertheless, as Ray, you can't possibly imitate taking Vihera in that situation.

... No, if you imitated something like grabbing and moving onto Seto's forefoot, you wouldn't even have been able to take him... Still, given the circumstances then, he wasn't very much, but couldn't afford that.

On the other hand, a little more... if we had really moved a little faster, there might not have been anything like the wolves dying.

With that in mind, it would be natural to have the feeling of regret.

"Ray, please don't say anything else about the anterm."

"I don't mind that... okay?

That's what Dusker said, because there's a case of the Count Zorgela family that Anterm caused.

If there was no such thing, I wouldn't have cared how to deal with it more than I'm no longer interested in Anthelm, but if all those who were in the noble mansion had been killed, I wouldn't be able to make this one yet-free.

"I don't mind you there. Get in touch with Count Zorgela's house here.... Did they find out about the fairy?

Neither is Ray particularly surprised that Dusker is going to say that.

In the first place, this one happened when Nielsen informed Ray of the imminent danger to the fairy's residence in the Trent Forest with a magic item.

If so, even if the killer, Anterm, finds out about the fairy, it's not surprising.

… although I was surprised when a report from a subordinate found out that this matter was the work of Anterm.

Ray snorted back at Dasker saying that he understood.
