Ray was traveling through Gorsuch to get information about Dharidra, but he realized that he didn't know where Dharidra was.

(In the first place, I don't even know where the Elema business is.) So, as a matter of course, I don't know where Dallidra's house is. No, but if you're at home...)

　It's the house of Dharidra, or one of the most powerful people in this Ghosh.
　Of course it is larger than August's.
　With that in mind, Ray tried to head to the residential area where the richest people in Gorsuch live, but he was lucky enough to do so.

"Hurry up and get together at Dallidra's shop and strengthen your defenses!"
"But who did you do that?" Is there no one who will aim at Mr. Dallidra with this Gorsuch?"

　Unlike the one we met at Auguste's place, two other adventurers run by Ray's side, speaking each other's words.
　Elema is one of the most influential in Gorsuch.
　Of course, there were many employed there, and it was only natural that they should be approached if something happened.

(That's because my daily behavior is good, too.)

　Ray follows two adventurers rushing to the heart of Gorsuch, thinking that anyone who knows Ray would shake his head immediately.

"But you had Narcus, didn't you? Did you get hurt?"
"I hear so," --isn't Narcus so strong?"
"Why, don't you call me away?" If you ask me, I'll tell you, Mr. Narcus is strict."
"But..."

　The conversation reached Ray's ears as he moved a little further away.

(Unexpectedly, Narcus is hated? From their point of view, he's probably the most skillful or leader of Dari Dora's bodyguards.)

　Ray follows the two adventurers, leaning inwardly, until they arrive in front of a large shop.

(Well, was this the shop of Elima?)

　Ray has been around the streets of Gorsuch in his own way, but it's mostly about food.
　I was somewhat interested in arms shops, but given that I knew Auguste, I didn't think I could afford to make a decent purchase.

　There are still a lot of people gathering near Elema, each talking in a clique.
　In the midst of this, a familiar woman... Cathy's friend, Ray, finds the owner of the shop who sold her food well, and she approaches him.

"What's the heck.
"Oh!? ...what is it, you?" Don't be so surprised."

　The owner of the shop, who was suddenly spoken to, breathes a sigh of relief when he found out that it was Ray who spoke to him.
　But he soon realized the danger of Ray... of having a supposed Auguste. Pull Ray into a nearby dining room.
　I would have liked to pull myself into my shop, but his shop is quite far from here.
　The owner was here because he came to a store near here for shopping.
　On the way to the store, I came across the scene of Dhalidra being attacked.

"Oh, something to pick at random. And water."

　Now that I'm in the store, I'll order the owner's share instead of the information fee.
　And even though the owner was a little embarrassed, the cafeteria staff immediately took Ray's order and went to the kitchen to tell him what to order.
　Fortunately, Ray is wearing the hood of a dragon lobe, so he doesn't seem to notice that he's hostile to Dallidra.

"Do you mind?"
"It's under the blazing sun. You must be thirsty and a little hungry, right? It's a substitute for information, so don't worry. Auguste asked me to gather information from Zarroost, to be exact."
"Oh, I see," But I don't know much about it, either?"
"Huh? You've been watching from the beginning, haven't you?"

　Cathy's friend's shopkeeper waves softly to Ray, who has been watching from the start and wonders why he doesn't know the details.

"Well, if you're used to rough things, you'll understand, but I've never had anything to do with it."
"... oh, I see. Yes, I understand."

　Just as Kathy's friend says so, the staff at the restaurant bring in the food.
　Simple dishes of meat skewers and water line up on the table.
　Paying in copper, Ray opens his mouth again when the workers who brought the food are gone.

"Well, let me know what you understand for now, would you?"
"Well, if that's all right,"

　As soon as Ray nods, he begins to think about what to start with.
　Rumors were an excellent pastime, as they were originally fond of talking to people.
　That's probably why he's so happy now that he's hesitating about what to start with.
　Then, after a sip of water, he starts to talk as if his mouth had slipped better.

"First of all, Dallidra tried to get into the carriage, trying to go somewhere. Then all of a sudden three men attacked Dari Dora and her bodyguard."
"... three of you?"
"Yes,"

　Considering that only one person attacked Auguste, the number is tripled.

(Then... did it seem that Augusto was attacked by a kite or by chance, and Dari Dora was the one who really wanted to do it?)

　With that in mind, Ray couldn't be more convinced.
　The reason why Gorsuch is so influential is because it's overwhelmingly Dalidra.

"But the three are strange, too." ... I wasn't frightened at all by being attacked. It's because he doesn't seem to care at all if the arrow sticks in his body."
"And it'said he,

　Ray has fought several times against the painless enemy.
　It is an effective measure in the sense that a weak military force is strengthened without time and effort, but it is only considered as a disposable military force.
　Life is light and cheap in the world of Elgin.
　If people still ask me if I can throw it away as a military force, most would say no.
　Of course, some thought armour was more valuable than human life, and it was certain that such a person would not feel any pain in disposing of soldiers.

"But Daridra's bodyguards are also those who have been pulling their prowess with money. Mr. Narcus, the bodyguard, was particularly cool."

　Dallidra calls Narcus away, but for some reason the way she dresses him shows what a woman feels about him.

"It was cool, really," As soon as I thought I had been attacked, I gave them directions..."
"Oh, yes. I got it. But tell me about the others, too.

　As he said, Ray somehow understood what Narcus was like.
　the most powerful man I've ever met with Dalidra
　The face of a supposed Rank B adventurer passes through Ray's mind.

"Anyway, the man who attacked me at the direction of Mr. Narcus was knocked down."
"... were you knocked down?"

　Ray looks a little surprised at what he said, thinking that the three of them had injured him.But the woman nods back to Ray's words.

"Yes, I've knocked you down. ...but that's where the problem lies. Anyway, there was an enemy attack, so Dari-Dora tried to go back into the shop once..."

　It may have been an exaggerated expression, but that is also a technique to attract the attention of the audience, Ray.
　Being fond of gossip, it was a natural skill.
　Ray knew it, but he said, "I think it's necessary to talk comfortably.

"But?"
"At that moment a number of arrows were shot out of nowhere. If Mr. Narcus hadn't sheltered her, she'd probably be dead."
"...do you know exactly how many arrows they were?"
"I can't. I'm nothing but an adventurer. I'm nothing but a drink."

　If you say so, Ray can't be unreasonable.
　In fact, the woman in front of us is only an ordinary person who, as he said, is not used to rough things.
　In fact, Ray could have said that he was lucky enough to be watching a series of situations without running away from the attack.
　Ordinary people often run away to avoid getting involved if something like the attack on Dharidra occurs.
　Some remain on the spot as sightseers, but such people die on the spot if they are unlucky.
　However, the reason why she was safe may be because the attack was short.
　Seeing the scene of the attack, things had progressed faster than they had returned to their senses and fled.

"And I heard that Daridra was injured, but was Narcus saved?"
"Yes. That's exactly what it means to say that you picked up your life, because an arrow that was about to stick in your head was stuck in your right shoulder."

　She muttered deeply, but some of her words seemed a little regrettable.
　Being a friend of Kathy's, Dallidra must have something in mind.
　Understanding it, Ray continues.

"And what happened to the man who shot the arrow?"
"No matter what happened, I just lost sight of him."
"...the number of arrows was large, wasn't it?"
"Well, it seemed like a lot, albeit amateur eyes.
"Didn't you see the face of one of the criminals?"

　The woman opens her mouth with a smile as if she had been waiting.

"I see," That's really interesting, but nobody saw anyone with a bow, not just me, but the others around me. Mr. Narcus, too, seemed to have asked the people around him, but he had no information at all."
"That's strange,"

　Bows are basically big.
　It is not without small objects, but arrows shot with such bows are inferior in strength.
　Not very much, but there was no way I could manage a good bodyguard, including a Rank B adventurer.

(Crossbow, if that's the case... No, but I've rarely seen crossbow before. I don't know how to make it either.)

　I think so from my knowledge in Japan, but I've never actually seen a crossbow since Ray came to Elgin.

(If so, magic items?)

　It's true that the bow needs to be larger than a certain size, but if it becomes a magic item, the story is different.
　Nebra's eyes, for example, are modified from magic items that originally had the ability to create arrows with magic.
　It's only natural that Ray doesn't know that there are other magic items about bows and arrows.
　Ray understood that he didn't know all the magic items in Elgin.

(And it's strange that you haven't seen a single person's face who attacked you with a bow.) Is this also a magic item?)

　However, this Gorsuch is not such a developed city.
　Of course, it is one of the top five cities in Sollein, but as a subordinate country to the Kingdom of Mileana... as well as a country with lower national power than its neighbors.
　Ray saw that Gorsuch didn't have a hard time living, perhaps because of the success of Liubrand's rule, but that doesn't mean he's wealthy enough to have a large selection of magic items.
　Dari Dora, who had a sandboat, is the first person to come up with a lot of magic items.
　This time, however, the Dalidra has been targeted for her life.
　At first, Ray thought that he might have made an alibi, but if he was told that Narcus, a bodyguard, had not helped him, he would have to retreat.
　Ray's face frowns a little uncomfortable when the thought comes to it.
　I wanted to avoid getting into more trouble when I was already in a lot of course.
　...however, considering my personality, I thought that if trouble arose, I would certainly thrust myself into it.
