When the Rays started fighting in the slums... Arra was waiting with Seto in front of a magic shop.
　I was originally told Elena to wait here and tell me about the stairs to the basement when the guards came, but the guards never came.

"I've heard that Gillum's guards are excellent... very late." Don't you think so?"
"Guru..."

　While complaining, Arra pats Seto on the head.
　Is Seto listening to Arra or not? They just squint at the feeling of being patted on the head, and they squeal happily.
　It's already quite a while since Elena and others went down the stairs leading to the basement.
　and yet, considering that he hasn't come back from underground...

"I guess the end of those stairs is not a room, but a place to go."

　Arra wanted to head down the stairs a few times, but there was no doubt that she would follow Elena if it was in the room or if it was a passageway leading somewhere.
　That would confuse the guards because they would not have anyone to explain the situation when they came.

"I wish Set could talk."
"Glu?"

　a set with a slight tilt of one's head to ask what's the matter with you.
　It is undoubtedly true that Seto understands human language, but it is difficult for Seto to communicate to human beings.

"It's nothing," and yet there are many interesting things about this shop."

　While caressing Seto, Arla's gaze turns from the entrance to the shop.
　As you can see, there are many magic items, and even Arra, who is not that interested in magic items, is fascinated by the number.
　Arra's axe is also a magic item called Power Axe, but there are many magic items that seem more expensive than that.

"I'm concerned that there are very few weapons for that, but... that's the kind of store it is."

　There are a number of magic items in the store that seem convenient for daily life.
　Of course that kind of magic item is in demand.
　Many, especially aristocrats and rich merchants, would prefer these magic items to weapons.
　It is true that many people need magic item weapons considering that they give them to trusted subordinates.

"I've seen merchants bring similar things to that sofa, to Elena's house, the Kerebel family, and when I sat down, it automatically changes to the best shape and gives me a massage." I think it cost me a few white gold coins..."

　There were several other magic items I've never seen before, some of which I've never seen before.

"Is that pot also a magic item?"

　As an arra who is good at making tea, I am very concerned about what magic items the pot is.
　That doesn't mean I can use the magic items in the store without permission, so I can only look at them.
　As I glanced so subtly into the shop, I heard footsteps approaching.
　Turning to the sound, I found three guards there.
　Finally here... Arra opens her mouth to the guards.

"You arrived quite late, didn't you?" I thought you'd come a little earlier."

　He must have been under a lot of stress because he couldn't chase Elena. There are some thorns in the tone, though he did not intend it.
　Still, the guards bow quietly and without particular anger.

"I'm sorry, I've had a little trouble with you. I needed people to calm you down."
"...is it a problem?"

　Arra would have been able to respond in her own way if she had been spoken back to by the fighting spirit.
　But if he apologizes politely like this, Arla can't come out overbearing again.
　The guards, either knowing that Arra was an aristocrat, or knowing that Elena's... that she was with General Hime, worked well for them.
　Arra, however, recognizes herself as a knight serving Elena rather than a nobleman.

"Yes, the suspects they caught used strange magic items when they ran away." The commotion has led to quite a few people being hunted out."
"Yes,"

　A brief nod makes no sense to blame the guards any more.

"And there was a staircase leading to the basement in this shop, and the Lays were already on their way there."
"…is that so?" What about you, Mr. Arla?"
"I was waiting because I needed to tell you this place. I'm done with the business, and you don't mind going now?"
"All right, I'll send you two, too." I don't know what's at the end of the stairs leading to the basement, but it's strange that there hasn't been any response since the Lays made their way."
"Do you like it?"

　Arra reveals a subtle but surprising look.
　I guess it was unexpected that a guard would come with me when I was going to go alone.
　He nods back, judging that he won't get too much trouble considering the skill of the guards.
　In ordinary towns and villages, guards don't have the strength to expect, but this is Gilm.
　Many adventurers, including high-ranking adventurers, gather to have a nightly banquet at a bar or go to a brothel in a red-light district.
　Adventurers are often bloody and short‐tempered, so it's not unusual for them to make a fuss. 　
　It is not uncommon for them to have a dispute over the distribution of the remuneration they received, and it was not uncommon for them to have a dispute over the negotiation to sell the materials they received at the request to a store instead of a guild.
　It's the guards who settle the uproar of adventurers, including such high-ranking adventurers.
　Naturally, his ability is more than a certain level.
　Knowing this, Arra accepted the security guard's offer of movement.

"Yes. It's our duty to keep Guillum safe."
"Well, shall we go?"

　The guard nods to Arra's words and enters the shop, leaving only one person behind.

"Seto... no, it's impossible, considering his size." If you push yourself too hard in the building, you'll be able to get in, but the stairs leading to the basement are..."
"Guru..."

　Seto chants regretfully at the guard's words.
　In fact, if you don't mind breaking the door, it's not difficult to get into the store.
　And given that it's a rare species of glyphon, resizing skills won't have to break the entrance.
　But I don't know what's going on down the stairs.
　There is also a way for someone to look into it beforehand, but it was difficult when asked if they could do it under the current circumstances.

"Well, set," I'll be back, so please wait here."

　Arra caresses Seto on the head and goes down the stairs leading to the basement with security guards.





"Now let me have a good time!"

　near a hut in the back of a slum
　Now the battle was about to begin.
　Of course, Vihela was the first among the lays to go against the enemy.
　He heads to Diaz, a man covered all over his face with a beard, and shrinks his distance by creating nails with magic on the back of his hand.
　Diaz took his weapon, Claymore, and waited expressionlessly for Vihela to approach him.
　Seeing it, Vihela feels cold in her spine and jumps sideways.
　an arrow that, with the sound of cutting through the air, pierce into the place where Vihela had been for a moment.

"What? Avoid it now. Vichela, as you might expect, is a good hand...!"

　Adriatic, impressed, yet somewhat inciting, kicks the ground and leaps sideways like a Vihela a few seconds ago.
　Then something was thrust into Adriatic's place, just like the hidden weapon arrow he had fired at Vihela.
　It is a long sword point connected by a number of magical steel wires.The only difference would be that, unlike the arrows Adriatic fired, Elena, who was using the weapon, returned the point of the sword, which had been pierced, and returned to him.
　a connecting sword It was Elena's specialty weapon and magic item, also known as the symbol of the princess general.

"I'll take care of you," You are certainly from the Empire of Bestia, aren't you?"
"Well, I don't know what you think, but this time around the city... strangely disturbing." Honestly, it's not funny...!"

　Adria turns the handle of the long sword toward Elena, and puts her magic into it.
　But Elena moves before the effect is realized.

"Don't think a hidden weapon is effective against the other person you've shown!"

　Seeing the use of the weapon to surprise Vihela, Elena understood that Adriatic's weapon had the effect of magically shooting arrows inside the handle.
　Also, considering the thickness of the handle, the number of arrows that can be stored there is two... three, no matter how hard you try.
　That is why I tried to distance myself from Adriatic at once, so as to hold her in check."

"Oh, that's too bad."

　In front of Elena, who approaches Mirage, Adria waits for it with a smile rather than a rush.
　At the moment, Elena almost instinctively flips back.
　At the same time, arrows are fired from the handle of Adriatic's long sword.
　Not one or two arrows, but three, four, five, and so on, eventually reveal their tusks to Elena.

"What!"

　Elena immediately wields a Mirage and wields a circle in front of her, using the properties of a connecting sword.
　All the arrows shot from Adria were cut off by Mirage's blade and fell to the ground.

"Well... the instant reaction is quite good,"
"...what's going on? It's clearly more than the number of arrows in the handle."

　Elena, who had returned the Mirage, which had been spinning in place of the shield, and had again turned it into a long sword, asks suspiciously.
　But Adria opens her mouth to such Elena with a smile.

"Don't you think you're going to go out of your way to tell the enemy what you're capable of? If you want to know so much, try solving the mystery yourself!"

　As he screams, he cuts straight to Elena, shooting arrows from one end to another from the other ends of the handle.
　I didn't think that the closer Elena's weapon is a connected sword, the more advantageous it is...

"Adria! Why do you shorten the distance? With that weapon, you can go for a long-range attack!"

　Behind Paul, the magician, holding his shield towards Ray, Zuboz screams at Adria.
　Screaming, she tries to throw a glass bottle of her belt at Ray whenever she has a chance.

"Fly off!"

　It may not be a check to check, but Ray makes a death-size attack.
　It was a cut through the air, but when Paul casts his magic, ice is produced around the shield.
　Hida-giri cuts through the ice, but by cutting through the ice, the track is diverted, and it flies past poles and rubos.

"A shield that makes ice? Come on, make a nuisance of yourself."
"I know for information that you are good at the magic of fire. And how can I, as an alchemist, not have taken any steps to deal with people like you, Ray... to see the hell in this world before I die?"

　Ray's eyes are filled with so much murder that I don't think a single alchemist could come up with.
　Taking it head-on, Ray wonders, bearing his death size on his shoulder.

(Why do you hate me so much? I'm sure I've never met that alchemist before. If that's the case, it's either the war that broke out last spring or the civil war that broke out in the fall... well, which one is it?"

　Other than that, he fought against assassins in the Westian Empire and stopped them without knowing of the plot.
　Ray was nothing but the god of plague for the hardliners of the Empire of Bestia against the kingdom of Mileana.
　After all, Ray doesn't understand why he's being held back, so he decides to ask her head on.

"And you seem to have a great grudge against me."It's your first time meeting me, right? Why do you hate me so much?"
"Because you are the enemy of His Highness Kabazid!"

　He blew away his usual polite tone and shouted so in a hateful voice.
