Ray got the information from Kathy's acquaintance and headed straight to August's.
　Then you go back to the store and you'll find some figures around it.
　The figure looked momentarily wary when he saw someone approaching the store, but when he found out that it was Ray, he let out a sigh of relief and spoke.

"Are you safe, Ray?"
"... I didn't go to battle at all, so it's only natural that I'm safe."

　Ray's face is discontented with the man's words, who seems to say that whenever he moves, trouble always occurs.
　But in the face of Ray, the man opens his mouth with a wry smile.

"But Mr. Zarroost said so,"
"The Roost..."

　When he came after the criminal who attacked August, he was dressed in a deadly frenzy, but he must have come to his senses after he recovered in Ray's port.
　If it hadn't been for that reason, it wouldn't have been so casual.

"Well, that's all right. Is Zarroost or August in the store?"
"Yes, but I don't think we should go now."

　Ray shakes his head at the remark, which he tells him to pay attention to.
　It was Zaroust who originally asked me to gather the information, so I need to explain it directly to Zaroust and Augusto.
　It's also a report of the attack on Dharidra, whether it's an alibi.
　The information is also a very important report for August, and the sooner the better.
　But why? You understood that Ray was feeling such a question. The bodyguard opens his mouth with a wry smile.

"Actually, Kathy is in the shop right now..."

　After hearing that much, Ray understood what was going on in the store.
　There's probably a burning space in the store.
　I didn't know why Kathy was here when I kept the attack secret.
　Though I wonder if it's because of the love affair between August and Kathy, I think it might not be a joke.

"...what do you think I should do?"
"No, you can't ask me,"
"But you're the one who said we shouldn't go into the store right now, so don't you think we can just talk about what to do?"
"... well... give up?"
"That's not true, is it?" ... oh, yes. What's the matter with Seto?"

　Suddenly, I was worried about my partner, who was acting separately to guard Augusto.

"Seto? Seto is behind the shop. There is no stable for Sett, and he seems to lie on the ground."
"Well... I'll show up over there for now."

　After all, Ray's choice was to set aside time.
　It's dangerous in many ways to get close to the two of us, Augusto and Kathy.
　But I thought I should be able to get a little better with a little more time."For some reason, on the face of the guarding man, there was an expression close to pity.
　Do you know August and Kathy well? The difference was the difference between the two.

(Slightly wasting time won't get rid of their fevers. --and on the contrary, the longer it takes, the hotter it gets, and the more untouchable it becomes.)

　Going later is actually the worst option, but...
　The worst thing about it, though, is that it doesn't go straight to report.
　Watching Ray go away, the man returns to the store's bodyguard.
　The tension had already disappeared until Ray came, but the man clenched the dagger of his weapon in the hope that his employer Auguste would never hurt him any more.





　When Ray came to the back of the shop, there was a figure of Seto, as I heard outside.
　Seto must have noticed Ray approaching. lie down and let out one's voice
　Somehow, away from that set, there is a figure of Zaroust.

"Zarooost? Why are you here?"

　He approaches Seto and caresses his body, calling out to Zarroost, who is a short distance away.
　At Ray's words, Zarroost shrugs his shoulders slightly and then opens his mouth.

"Didn't you ask me before you entered the store? Cathy is here."
"Ah... yes, I understand why Zarroost came here."

　I guess that means Zarroost has come out of his sweet spot for the same reason as Ray.
　But it was a blessing to Ray that Zaroust was here now.

"I've collected the information."
"You said that Dallidra was attacked?"
"Oh, that's for sure," and he was attacked much more severely than August."
"Really? Is it possible that it was a pretense?"

　Zarroost, like Ray, probably thought that Dallidra's attack was an alibi to keep him out of doubt by attacking Augusto.
　That's why he hears that Dharidra was really being attacked and asks Ray with surprise.

"I don't think it's a pretense. According to the man who was watching the scene of the attack, three of them were the first to attack. There are three men who don't feel any pain. So, when I thought I had knocked it down, I was shot out of nowhere. If it were not for Narcus, there would have been an arrow stuck in his head."

　Now that he's said that, Zarroost doesn't think Dari Dora's attack was a pretense.

"But then... who is pulling the strings behind the scenes in this case, Mr. Auguste and Mr. Daridora... I mean, Mr. Auguste has not that much influence, but there are still so many people who will antagonize him."

　I don't think so. As Zarroost tells him so, Ray has no choice but to nod.
　Ray has just come to this Gorsuch, so he doesn't cover all of the confrontational structures in Gorsuch.
　Speaking of what I know, Augusto and Dallidra are at odds with each other over the handling of the Tilla tree, and Dallidra teamed up with the lord, Lubrand, to think of a possibility.
　No, not so much as a possibility, but as long as Dallidra is not the culprit in this case, I think the only influential person left is Liubrand.

"By any chance, did the lord, Lubrand, attempt to assassinate Dallidra?"
"No way. No way."

　Zarroost instantly denies Ray's words.

"To be honest, the lords here are doing well because of the presence of Dalidra. Of course, the lord is not vicious, but what should I say... typical aristocrat? Do you think aristocrats are like? Well, don't get lost."

　It was a muddled Zarroost, but Ray understood what he wanted to say.
　I met him once in person, and he had the impression that he would act the same way as aristocrats because he thought he was a noble.

(For example...)

　Ray turns to the set he is stroking.
　He expressed his desire to have a rare set of nobles, which he seemed to think would be the norm for nobles.
　In fact, once Ray refused, he didn't make any further advances.They are distinctly different from those who are blinded by desire.

(Well, he didn't seem to be afraid of my language or attitude. Usually, aristocratic aristocrats are likely to be evil aristocrats. If you think so, is it good? . . . .

　a muttering ray
　If you're keeping the Liu brand as it is, it's no problem at all.
　However, since he imitates himself to what should be called his own aristocratic view, what would happen if it became that of a tyrannical aristocrat?
　It's not hard to imagine.
　Gorsuchs, now well off, will be subject to exploitation and looting by their lords.
　Moreover, there is no guilt whatsoever about the rebranding that does it.
　Gorsuch, which is by no means rich, will soon be destroyed if it does.

"Ray? What's wrong?"
"No, yes. It's nothing."

　I can't say that I imagined the future of Gorsuch's destruction, but I'm going to mislead him.
　Zarroost seems to have questioned Ray's appearance, but he doesn't want to get involved in what he was thinking, so he pushes on.

"And why can you say that Liubrand is not involved in this attack?"
"...you don't call the lord's name away."
"You may say so," I don't know if they've heard it from around August, but we've had dinner together."

　At Ray's words, Zarroost gasps in amazement and then opens his mouth.

"Daridra and the lord of the manor are working together, and one of the reasons for that is that Daridra is developing Gorsuch... specifically, he's giving us the wisdom to do that." Are you going to kill someone who will develop Gorsuch?"
"...what kind of opinion did Dhalidra give out that wasn't acceptable to Liubrand, and as a result, there was a conflict?"
"That's about it, if I can think of it, but I can't think of anything like Daridra's antagonism to the lord in the first place."

　Zarroost, scratching his head violently, mutters uncomfortably what is going on and what is going on in the present situation.

"Then is it a third force?"
"...that's all there is to it,"

　Zarroost, who seems to want to say it's even more troublesome.
　Looking at Zarroost, Ray turns his gaze toward the store, caressing his throat pleasantly.
　Then an Auguste was just about to come out of the shop.
　Fortunately, Augusto is the only one who comes out of the shop, and there is no image of Kathy who seems to have been creating a hot space until recently.

"Oh, Mr. Ray," You're back, aren't you? Then you could have come to my place to report."
"Well, yes," I was going to take a rest here and then go."

　Ray couldn't be honest and tell me that he didn't want to be involved in your love space, but Auguste was like that... and he nodded at Zarroost's manner of nodding as if he understood your feelings on Ray's side.

"Is that so? Well, that's all right, but... well, what happened to you when you asked me to gather information.

　Ray tells Augusto, leaning his head, straightforwardly.

"Daridra was also attacked. It wasn't a pretense to mislead Auguste, but in the real sense, I was aiming for my life."
"...really?"

　Like Zarroost, Ray nods back to Auguste, who asks him unhesitatingly.

"I've heard from a woman about Kathy's friend, but it's a very large attack over there compared to the one who is aiming at August. If anything, Augusto was more positive and his real intention was that."
"As far as I've heard, it seems to be true that ... but the attack on me and Dallidra almost at the same time ... "

　Zarroost nods at the expression of incomprehension.

"Perhaps it's a third force." Mr. Auguste, do you remember?"
"No, I'm afraid..."

　From those words, Augusto may have half-decided that it was Dallidra's fault that he was attacked.
　However, it is an open secret that we have asked bandits to attack August's mercantile corps, so it is safe to assume so.

"If Auguste doesn't have any clue,"
"...I'm sorry,"

　Augusto bowed to Ray's words, but when he saw him, he hurriedly opened his mouth.

"No, I'm not blaming you, so don't worry."
"But Mr. Ray is not employed by me, is he?" I'm just staying at my house. But if I cause you so much trouble...
"Oh, that's all right. If something happens to you, Kathy will be sad. Then there will be a lot of problems, right? Cooking, cooking, and so on."
"Only cooking?"

　Zarroost muttered dumbfoundedly, but Augusto smiled at the interaction.

"Well, Cathy's food is worth it."

　Auguste's words make Zarroost unable to say anything because he knows the taste of Kathy's cooking.
　Watching such a conversation, Ray suddenly opens his mouth.

"Now that we've been involved, I want to know why Augusto is so much at odds with Dharidra, and if you use the Tilla tree, you can keep this Gorsuch cheaper and safer?"

　Yes, I was going to ask.
