Summer Day also passed the afternoon, and Ray was straddling the back of Seto flying through the sky at a time when the sun was about to turn into a sunset.

"Why would you set up a hideout in the forest when your main fighting power was cavalry?" It was completely unexpected. -- a bloody blade, I suppose, or a personality, but a good hand."
"Grull".

　give a voice to Ray's muttering
　Even if you look straight up to the ground, what you see is the trees that make up the forest.
　Even if there is a hideout in the forest and you get information from prisoners of war about where it is, it is difficult to find it immediately as long as there are no photographs.
　The already bloody blade, as it moved on the ground, felt different from Ray and Seto, who flew through the sky.

"Well, now that I've seen Seth, I think Langa's story is credible."
"Glu?"

　When Seto asks Ray on his back, "What's wrong with you?" he caresses his neck.
　That's how I was flying over the forest.
　Suddenly, Seto turns his face towards Ray toward a section of the forest.

"... Huh? This is..."

　a faint cry of anger and swordplay And the smell of blood.
　It's the music Ray is already accustomed to hearing, with the sound of battle.

"It seems to have been a hit. Was it because of a split in opinion or a split in the withdrawal? Anyway, it's nothing but good luck for us. Seto, turn to the person who is making this sound."
"Roll-rolling.

　Seto, who screams at Ray's word, flaps his wings as he descends to earth.
　Then, landing in an open area that was just right for Set to disembark, he and Sett begin to walk away in the direction of the sound of battle.
　Keep going, about five minutes. What I saw was an unexpected sight.
　It is a group of goblins who are fighting against each other, wondering if there is a bloody conflict among the members of the blade.

(No, as long as the cavalry is present, it is safe to conclude that he is a member of the bloody blade.)

　No matter how open it is, it is deftly maneuvering the horses to drive the goblins out of tents and trees here and there.
　The appearance of being better at handling horses than a bad knight was, no matter what, nothing but a bloody blade.

(And yet, goblin? Why... I see. Lenora and Kenny said it. and he said that the reason why the Mire Dogs took care of the three newcomers was to hunt the remnants of the Goblin, who had escaped from the settlement

　I've heard from Lenora and Kenny that an adventurer party attacked and destroyed a village in Goblin yesterday.
　They complained that the post-processing had put the work off longer than usual.
　I thought Kenny was very lucky to have met Ray, who had just returned to Gilm.

"Glu?"

　Seto turns his eyes to Ray with a small throat, so that the fighting goblins and the bloody blades won't hear him.
　Ray shakes his head as he caresses his back.

"The attack now will only add to the confusion. When the goblins see Seto and he'll run away, the bloody blade members may run away. We'll wait and see for a while, and when the goblins are over, we' In the first place, our aim is to make sure they don't run away, and we can leave when we start preparing for it and we're tied up."

　Seth nods to Ray's words and watches for a while the bloody blade and the Battle of Goblin.

"But I think it'll come to an end soon,"

　The Goblin is rapidly decreasing its numbers, as it should be called a long-standing mercenary force... ...and, in front of Ray's eyes, he has determined that there is no chance of winning any more battles. scatter in all directions
　Then, in front of Ray's eyes, he tells him to gather materials and weapons that lie around him, and rare metals that could be sold high.

"It's about time," If possible, I would have liked to move after the expedition came."

　I muttered while looking behind me, but I still haven't seen Langa or any other members of the expedition.
　I can escape at this rate. After a small sigh, Ray takes a death-size out of Mistyling and leaves the hiding place with Sett.

"Oh, my boys! I'm leaving here at once! Pick up your valuables and your bags! And the monsters that the goblins messed up in jest!"

　In the midst of hearing such voices, Ray, ready to act, puts his back against a tree, opens his mouth.

"Well, you're a very quick judge," I thought I'd have more leeway."

　The moment Ray's voice is heard, the person leading the bloody blade stops moving.
　Then he turned his eyes to Ray like a rusty doll... muttering his name.

"... crimson..."

　Ray nods in his death-size voice as it is spat out with a slight tremor.

"That's right. ... Well, why am I here?" You don't have to go out of your way to tell me why?"
"... oh, you're here to kill us, aren't you?"

　Rey's eyebrows are slightly frowned upon by words uttered by Everogi.
　If you resist, you will attack, so you can't say that you don't intend to kill. But at the same time, if you surrender meekly, you have no intention of inflicting unnecessary harm.
　It is not, however, a particular reason for peace or humanity. It was simply because the punitive force thought that if they caused a serious injury, it would take a lot of time to treat them, and even if they sold them off as slaves, it would be cheaper because of that injury.
　As long as I am indebted to Dusker, I can be so attentive.

(No, it feels like my rumor is getting bigger than that...

　Open your mouth to keep it from expressing itself, even though you breathe inwardly.

"Well, it's up to you," There is no need for anyone's blood to flow if we surrender peacefully. But if you insist on resisting it, it may be as you have just said."
「……」

　Everogi quickly calculated what Ray said... and concluded that there was nothing he could do.
　In the first place, it is obvious that he is leading a bloody blade. That being the case, Ray is sure to follow him, even if he runs away in all directions like the goblin I mentioned earlier.
　And no matter how confident you are in handling horses, it is almost impossible to escape from the flying Gryphon.
　Then shall we all launch an attack at once? No matter how young he looks, he is an adventurer with a different name. There's no way we can fight each other and win, and it goes without thinking that they'll be the first to kill themselves, the leader of their men.
　The idea of abandoning his subordinates passed through his mind for a moment, but if his subordinates knew about it, he would certainly be sacrificed.
　In conclusion, Everogi has only one choice.
　Get off the horse and throw the dagger in your hand to the ground.
　One of the men timidly opens his mouth as the clang echoes around him.

"What on earth is your head?"
"You don't know, do you? Surrender.""What!"

　I can't believe it. I don't want to believe it.
　With so many people looking like that, Everogi continues to speak with open mouth.

"Look, this is an adventurer nicknamed crimson. Do you think you'll be able to fight it out or escape? I don't think so. Then it would be better to be sold off as a criminal slave than to be killed against the odds here."

　I didn't put it into words because I was in front of Ray, but if I was lucky, I could have escaped before I was sold off as a slave.
　But...

"Oh, don't be silly! You're going to sell me off as a slave!? I'll never do that!"

　When one person screams so, some of the people around him speak loudly to agree with him.

"Yes! I'll be enslaved! I'll kill that little boy and run away from here!"
"The crimson one? It's just rumors ahead, isn't it?" Take a look at him. He's such a delicate, small boy, isn't he? He's all over the place. You think so too, don't you?

　At that voice, he clenches his weapons tightly to agree with one another.
　With a little more composure, those who were making noise could have understood the difference in ability between Ray and them. I've got that much ability.
　But at this rate, they deliberately ignored it because of a sense of crisis that they would be caught.
　The semi-abandoned appearance was, in a different direction, similar to that of the goblin I mentioned earlier.

"Why, don't do that! What are you going to do with the Gryphon if you can beat him?"

　If we counterattack here, we will be seriously killed. Some of the few in the group who had kept their composure cried out, but the argument didn't make sense to those who were already in a state of depression.

"I'll do it! If we defeat him here, we still have a way to survive!"
"Oh, my God!"

　There are fewer than ten cavalry and infantrymen, but they still shout loudly as if they were inspiring themselves to survive.
　Then, with a long sword in hand, the group attacks Ray.

"Buck!"

　Everogi tried to stop it at once, but it's already too late. Already the leading figure wields his long sword and closes his relationship with Ray...

"Go to bed."

　With such a murmur coming out of Ray's mouth, a death-size stonemate is thrust out and buried in the dove of the man who attacked him.

"Huh,"

　a suffocating, fainting man
　The dagger in his hand rolls to the ground with a clang.
　Fortunately for the man, Ray would have tried to capture those with bloodstained blades instead of killing them.
　Because of this, the death-size stonemate did not penetrate the man's pigeon tail with leather armor, but rather fainted.
　Though it was not clear whether it was lucky or not, given the life after being captured.

"Oops!"

　I don't think I was angry with Ray's attitude, but I'm going to shake down Battleax the moment my friend is attacked to catch even a little chance.a man of men
　The next moment, however, the clink of metal echoed around him, and the man who was attacking Ray noticed that the battleax had been cut clean.
　It wasn't a cut of the handle, it was a cut of the metal.
　For a moment when he stopped at such an unconventional sight, it was a big enough gap for Ray.
　a flash
　However, a blow that is cut sideways with a handle instead of a death-size blade also blows the man's ribs from above the leather armour.
　A man who hits a tree growing around him, making a dull noise and falls to the ground.

『……』

　The sight of a human being blown right beside him forces the heads of those who were about to attack Ray to cool down.
　It's not a rare sight for high-ranking adventurers, but when they see it with their own eyes, they don't seem to want to experience it themselves.

"I won't stop it cried.

　An angry voice came out of Everogi's mouth without missing a momentary pause.
　After hearing the voice of the person who was their head, the calm men turn to Ray again.
　He carried his death size on his shoulders, but still had enough confidence in his face to react to whatever was going on his face.
　Moreover, beside Ray, Seto is always low enough to attack him.

"You've got it. When we meet someone like this, we lose. Don't expose yourself to any more disgraceful conduct."
"But..."

　Everogi silently shakes his head at the man who tried to say something.
　There's no point in fighting back here just getting hurt.
　Ray opens his mouth as he watches the conversation.

"It seems that you will not make any more vain resistance." That's a relief. And..."

　I glanced at the bush I had passed through.
　Then, a rustling sound rips through the bushes, and the members of the punitive force, including Langa, appear.

"As you can see, you can't run away, so give up."

　I tell them to frustrate the will of the bloody blade members, who look hopeless this time.
