in front of the door of Bornter's mansion.It was now enveloped in silence.
　The gangsters and low-ranking adventurers surrounding the Lays were speechless.
　For as soon as Ray wielded a huge sickle, his attack flew, cutting off the branches of a giant tree in the garden and dropping the archer lurking there to the ground, cutting the windows and walls on the second floor of the house with a flying attack again with a returning blade, and finally, with a death-size handle swung by Ray, who was moving, he blew away the door and drove it into the entrance hall of the house.

『……』

　It's too much of a development for anyone to say anything and look at Ray.
　In addition, Seto used his eagle claws to repel an arrow that had been shot at Gala pigeon, but Ray's behavior was so showy that it was hardly noticeable.
　The person who shot the arrow at the end judged that it was meaningless to attack with a bow as long as Ray and Seto were present, and he had already moved and disappeared thinking that he did not want to be second to others in a flying attack.
　As such silence envelops them, Ray, who carries a swung death-size over his shoulder, glances at the people surrounding him.

"Well, Vargas, whom you have relied on, is gone. What do you do? If there's someone else still willing to do it, step forward.

　No one can stand in front of him when he sees what can be said to be a vicious blow.
　Some turned their eyes to the blown-off Vargas, who, until a few minutes ago, had been armed with metal armor, had now completely knocked unconscious by the side of the armour, and destroyed the door of the house.
　If he had remained conscious, he would have suffered from a broken rib.
　The sight of Vargas, the most powerful figure in the Bornter estate today, being turned down in a literal sense, had no more effect than it could have been in order to dispel the fighting spirit of those present.

"Why? You've been barking at me in a loud voice.Show us how good you are.You told me that it was not common sense to come here by this number of people, or that I should run away with my tail wrapped."
『……』

　I couldn't say anything now that I saw Ray's overwhelming ability.for he knew instinctively that if he had said something, it would be perceived as an act of hostility and he would follow the same fate as Vargas.

"Oh, all the little fish, as soon as they swarm and think they're strong."Well, well, well, well, well, then, wherever you go,
『……』

　Ray told me so, but if he ran away from the place, he would be caught in the Azot trade, and he could not do so.
　However, Ray's indecisive attitude provokes his irritation.

"We are going to get into Bornter's house.If you can't forgive me, stand in front of me.In that case, of course, I will take it as my enemy and exclude it.If you don't like it, turn your tail and run away. ... Here we go."

　He calls out to Fluorocarbons, Blaso, Galahato, Murto and Seto behind him and takes a step forward.Of course, his shoulders were covered with death-size, and he was ready to shake at all times.
　He that surrounds him takes a step back every time they take a step.As the situation continues, Ray and his men eventually reach the gate safely without any intervention, though the gate has already been forcibly opened by Vargas, who had just blown it away.
　and before the gate, Saint-Cant and Fader, two gatekeepers, with spears in their hands, remained there.

"Get rid of it."

　Rei orders short.When Fader heard the voice, he shuddered for a moment and looked at his partner, Saint-Cant, but he himself did not seem to give way, even though he turned blue.

"Oh, hey, thank you."

　The fader calls out to her in spite of the situation.Looking at the sequence of events that took place with Vargas, it is clear that Ray is not the one they can manage.However, he is asking with his eyes why he is blocking him.

"He's hired me like him.I feel indebted to you in my own way....fader, I won't tell you to go out with me, so do as you please.""...d*mn it! d*mn it! I wonder if I can leave you alone!"

　She screams at her partner's words and turns the tip of her spear to Ray.

"You don't have to go out with my fool. ... You're such a fool."
"Hush! You don't have to be ridiculous. Why would I bother to do this?"

　Ray smiles at the two, clapping their tongues and pointing their spears at him, but soon quenches them.

"He is hostile to me.That's the kind of perception you have, isn't it?"
"Oh my gosh!"

　Ray's question was answered not by words but by screams.Sankant and Fader, who screamed to inspire their own fear and thrust the tip of their spear at Ray's torso, were united in some way as they worked together to guard the gate.and first Saint-Cant thrusts out his spear, and Fader's spear is thrust into it to prevent it or to avoid it.It could be called a kind of time lag attack.
　That would have been effective for ordinary people.But Saint-Cant and Fader's single and greatest miscalculation was that the opponent was Ray.

"It's a good plot in its own way..."

　A spear thrusted out first by Saint-Cant is received by a death-size blade, and the tip of the spear is cut off, and the wrist holding the death-size is quickly rotated as it is, and the spear thrust out by the fader is played up by the handle.

"Oops!"

　The fader screams in pain at the power of the play.Sankant's spear was not particularly damaged because it had only had its ear cut sharply, but the spear was no longer in the hand of the fader, who had his own spear played with Ray's power and an overwhelmingly heavy handle.He could not stand the shock of being hit, so he let go of his hand and was launched right up there.

「……」

　In an instant, Sankant cuts off his spear and turns a stunned look on Ray's face for imitating playing his opponent's spear.
　In awe of him, Ray accepts the falling fader's spear with his empty left hand and thrusts it into the ground.
　While making the sound of a spear sticking to the ground that would never come out, the handle, as well as the tip of the ear, pierced the ground by about 50 cm.

"That's enough.You have no way of stopping us. Get rid of us."
"...please, I don't want you to get hurt by this, either.Be quiet and step back."

　The words escaped from Gala pigeon's mouth so that Ray could put them on his head, but when he heard them, Sankant still tried to step forward...

"That's enough, Saint-Cant,"We've done enough."

　and stopped at Fader's words.

「……」
"You know what I mean, Mr. Bornter is stuck when he's there.and yet, since you have challenged yourself, you have fulfilled your duty as a gatekeeper."
"...yeah,"

　In response to Fader's words, Sancto breathed a little sigh.

"All right, Mr. Gala pigeon,""I'm sorry, but I won't do you any harm, so don't worry."

　Gala pigeon nodded and approached them comfortably, passing through the gate.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Galla pigeon.Mr. Gara pigeon is not in his prime right now!"

　Multo chases him, and Ray, Fluorocarbons and Braso follow him.
　The gangsters and low-ranking adventurers who had surrounded the Lays until only a few minutes ago silently watched them off.





"What do you call it, it's just that... it's coming out."

　The entrance to Bornter's mansion, about 10 meters from the gate.The door, which should have been fitted into it, had been beautifully destroyed by the collision of Vargas, which had been blown away by Ray's blow.
　The entrance hall, which destroyed the door and entered the house, was completely stunned by Vargas on the floor.

"Well, there's a possibility that there was a trap in the door, and if the result is good, it's all good, isn't it?"

　Fluorocarbons say so, looking at Vargas, who fainted with dumbfounded eyes.
　For Fluorocarbons, Vargas, who should have known Ray once and knew his skills, nevertheless, it was nothing but a feeling of utter amazement that he had never learned to fight Ray.If you want to train yourself and improve your ability before you fight again, you can shoot at him from a long distance with a bow and arrow.But when Fluorocarbons used the means of holding injured Galahato hostage instead of Ray himself, they could see the results.
　It must have been the same with Brasso.When he turns his eyes to Vargas, who has collapsed to the floor and fainted, he laughs with his nose and immediately turns his eyes away.
　In the first place, for the two of them, who felt a part of Ray's power through the subjugation of Harpy, they could not beat Ray no matter how many of them attacked him in a group.If it were possible, I would go on and on all day without a break, but... as far as Ray's ability is concerned, he would be wiped out by the magic of fire or something.

"Grull".

　Finally, Seto, who came into the entrance hall, looked around while ringing his throat.
　It is unlikely that Seto, the Gryphon by nature, would enter the house, but this time it was a battle against the adventurers employed by Bornter, and no one was going to complain about it.Even though Gara pigeon had the best connection with this residence, he would not be able to exclude Seto, considering his military strength.

"But it's sad that there's no one to greet me."

　"The Brasso looks around the entrance hall with the hammer of the earth shaking on his shoulder, but as far as the eye can see, there is no human figure."

"Do you mean... that you are waiting for us with all your forces concentrated in one place?"

　he muttered, preparing to draw his sword from his waist.

"I guess you're trying to break the current situation by concentrating on one point because Ray is at a disadvantage in terms of military strength."If you say it's like an older brother, it's like an older brother."
"Then where do you think that the united war is? Most of them were in front of the house, and to some extent they were cleaned up until they came here.人数的にはそう残っていない筈だが」
「ああ、レイの言うことももっともだ。……恐らくレイが以前兄貴と会った部屋。その隣か向かいにある部屋が怪しいだろうな。一応あそこには兄貴の執務室として使える部屋が何部屋かあった筈だし。……いや、違うな」

　言い掛けた自分の言葉を遮るガラハト。何かを考えるようにして周囲を見回し……やがて再び口を開く。

「確かに兄貴の執務室が一番怪しいだろうが、そこだと冒険者達が戦闘をするのには狭すぎる。そうなると俺達もそうだが、兄貴の方でも防衛力に不安が残る筈。そうなると……」

　呟き、2階へと視線を向けるガラハト。

「2階には何があるのじゃ？」
「ダンスホールの類だな。My brother used to have parties with his acquaintances, and they were used at that time."
"I see. Of course, a dance hall is quite large.--for example, to the extent that adventurers can fight."

　Fluorocarbons muttered with an expression of satisfaction when they heard the conversation between Blaso and Galah doves."Yes, it will be the largest room in the house.Of course there is a possibility that your brother is confined to his office with his own safety first."
"Well, it's neither foolish nor troublesome to be attacked from behind, without looking into it here.Wouldn't it be better to check it out?"
"...no, it doesn't seem necessary,"

　Ray muttered, interrupting Fluorocarbons.and at the end of his gaze he caught a figure near the entrance of the dance hall on the second floor.
　and the figure was drawing his bow. . . .

"Huh!"

　The moment the arrow is shot.Ray wields the death size he was holding one step forward.A death-size blade, wielded like a flash of light, easily cut the arrow flying toward the dove.

"As you can see, it comes with an invitation.I don't think they want to let the house be ransacked any more."

　muttered Ray as he watched the shooter ostentatiously enter the dance hall.
