"The assassin...? Well, I'm sorry, but I've never heard of anything like that."

　Auguste replies so to what Daridra explained.
　The words of Daridra, who broke up with Ray about the laboratory and came back to Auguste's estate less than an hour later, were about the assassin.
　I know there is such a thing, and I don't think Sollein alone has anything to do with it, even if it's smaller than neighboring countries.
　But... I thought it was only in the royal capital of Sollein.
　In fact, I've heard that kind of story from merchants who came from the royal capital several times before.
　However, it's just a story elsewhere.
　It's not about where I live.
　Therefore, it was difficult to believe the story immediately, even if I heard it from Daridra.

(Daridra once set a bandit on me. so that here it is safe to assume that the bandits played the role of assassins?'

　I doubt that bandits and assassins are very different, even though they are hidden in the dark of society.
　a bandit who can be anyone who wants to be, and an assassin who really sinks into the darkness of society.
　Of course, this is only August's imagination, and it is predictable that there will be many differences in actuality.
　But... nevertheless, I could not understand that there was an assassin in this Gorsuch, and that it was aimed at us.

"Why are you targeting me and Dari Dora? I don't know what that means."

　Zarroost and Ray both nod back to Augusto, who is questioning.

"Of course, as long as I am working as a merchant, I cannot say that I am not hated by anyone…" But what is the reason why I and Dallidra are both targeted?"

　The question left Dalidra with no choice but to shake her head.
　I understand that I am hated by many people, and I understand that Auguste is liked by the people of the city in contrast to myself.
　This made it impossible for them to understand what they had in common to aim at at at the same time.

"Didn't Mr. Auguste, as a magician, aim to dazzle your bodyguard?"

　The murmur of Zarroost echoes through the room, which is beginning to dim into the evening, with the so-called redness of the sunset.
　Everyone looks satisfied because the best possibility that can be thought of at present is that.

"Even if I'm being targeted, it doesn't change that Auguste is being targeted after all. Then there is a good chance that they will attack me again with Mr. Auguste at their mercy."
"What's more, you've stripped and replaced your face, and you've become a completely different person, regardless of your physique."

　As August mutters, following Dalidra's words, they breathe out together.
　It's just that troubling to skin your face and become a different person.
　It's highly likely that even acquaintances will not be able to distinguish themselves if they wear skin. With that in mind, it's probably true that there's no way to be wary...

"Then I'd like to avoid being passive. As long as we don't know where they are, it would be more efficient for us to attack them all at once."

　Ray mutters, squinting at the light red in the room, what we call the remnants of the sunset.
　It's true that it's true, but... there were reasons why it wasn't easy.

"But, Mr. Ray," You don't even know where the other assassins are in the first place, so how on earth are you going to attack them?"

　Auguste's words make a nod to the others present.
　In fact, there is no clue whatsoever.
　One was Ray's murder... the body of an assassin who killed himself with Ray's blow, but it was impossible to find the enemy's hideout.
　Ray looked at me like that, but he said it had been calculated from the beginning... and he smiled as much as he could say.

"I'm not sure... but there's a way to find out where the assassins came from this time to."

　Rey tells him so, and he looks incredulous at all those present.
　It's only natural that we could not find a way out of the situation after all we'd talked about, and we could only come up with a way to deal with it when the assassins come back to us.
　Meanwhile, how to find the hideout of the assassins Ray mentioned.
　There was no way everyone would not be interested.
　Auguste speaks on behalf of everyone who wants to know how to do it immediately.

"And, Mr. Ray," What exactly is that?"
"It's not such a difficult story. I'll rely on Seto
"... to Set?"

　At first, everyone, including August, couldn't understand the word of relying on Seto.
　Some of Dhalidra's bodyguards don't know Seto's name, which adds to the confusion.
　Seeing such a group of guards, Augusto speaks as he explains.

"Seto is the Gryphon that Mr. Ray is a slave to. ...and what are you going to do with Set, Mr. Ray?"

　Daridra's bodyguards reacted a little to the word Gryphon, but Ray nods and opens his mouth to Augusto's question.

"As you know, the Gryphon is a Rank A monster,"

　Precisely, Seto is treated as a rare species and a Rank S monster, but now you don't have to mention it.
　Ray continues to explain when he sees everyone there nodding to the word Rank A Monster.

"And with such monsters, naturally their senses are much sharper than humans. ...that is to say, with respect to smell. So, Daridra has the body of the assassin. Now, what do you think is possible from these?"

　Now that we've said that, many people have come to the answer.
　Most of the adventurers here are skilled, and Augusto and Dallidra are by no means slow-witted.

"You can find the place of the hideout in the smell...?"
"I wouldn't say for sure, and it might take some time to trace the smell, but I think it's better than no clue?"

　All those present could not help nodding to Ray's words.
　In fact, as things stand now, we can only wait for them to come out.
　That means that the initiative lies over there.
　Under such circumstances, you would be mentally exhaust yourself.

"I don't think there's any chance that they'll give up because of the failure in this attack."

　Everyone nods back to Dharidra's words.
　In fact, no one thought they would give up the idea of assassinating Augusto and Dallidra once they failed.
　If this had been a second- or third-rate group of assassins, there might have been a possibility.
　But... there was no way I could have been so optimistic about the group of assassins who were trying to skin their faces.

"What should I do? I can go find it now."
"Wait a minute, that's dangerous," As you can see, it's already evening. The temperature will decrease as the night goes on, making it harder to move. Moreover, since night is also the time for assassins, I think we can look for them until tomorrow."
"...No, Mr. Dallidra. If night were the time of the assassin, I think it would be better to give them time to-night."

　Augusto says to Daridra, "Shouldn't we go look for it now?" But Daridra also shakes her head.

"There are other reasons why we should do it tomorrow. Narcus, who is the bodyguard for us, can no longer be used as a military force. No, if you push yourself too hard, you can use it as a military force..."

　Narcus, the most skillful bodyguard employed by Dallidra.
　There's a big difference between being in or out of arms.
　Everyone, including Augusto, looked satisfied with Dallidra's explanation.
　...however, there is a reason why Dharidra wants to participate in this case with Narsus as a military force, in order to improve their military strength and bring the assassins together, but at the same time, if Narsus plays an active role, it will be Dharidra's achievement.
　With Ray on August's side, it was certain that he would carry the greatest achievement.But if we end this case without any accomplishments, it will be a great deal of damage for Dharidra.
　Therefore, if possible, Dalidra wanted to go to Narus when attacking the assassins' hideout.

"And if we're going to launch an attack on the hideout of an assassin group, we need to reach out to the security forces as well." I need to get through Mr. Liubrand, so I can't say right now...."
"Well, it's a lot of trouble if the guards stick their heads in while they're attacking the assassins' hideout."

　Augusto agrees with Dallidra's opinion.
　...the reason why neither of them counted the guards as a force for this attack is probably because they are so unskilled.
　His words and actions were based on the understanding that even if he took the guards with him, he would only be hindered.
　If the adventurer's skill was low, the guards might have been of some help.
　But fortunately or unfortunately, all of the adventurers here are very expensive at the level of the city of Gorsuch.

"…I see. Then let's do it tomorrow."

　Wishing to get the assassin's problems sorted out today, Ray nods, albeit reluctantly.
　The decisive factor was that it would take time to get through to the security forces.
　And once Ray is satisfied, others will not object.
　But the problem was...

"Well, Mr. Ray," Can Seto really find the assassins?"
"What do you think?" There's only a possibility. Moreover, the smell will naturally disappear tomorrow, so I think it will be less likely than it is now."
"That's! ... No, that's true, isn't it? Is that the case, for it stinks?"

　Dallidra tries to say something, but finds herself helpless when the smell disappears, and quickly settles down.

"Then, if I had to push myself a little, would it be better to finish it by the end of course. and if you think of the possibility that we may not be able to get rid of the smell to-morrow, you can't call it Narcus."
"But in that case, how do you get in touch with the guards?"

　Augusto told Dallidra, and the answer was to shake her head.

"As for that matter, it will be all right to go to the lord's house from now on. "But there is a possibility that we may not be able to contact the security forces thoroughly, and perhaps they may poke their nose into it."

　What do you do? Dallidra turns to August.
　Tomorrow, if we are to prepare enough military power. If we were to pinpoint the assassins' hideout today.
　Ray pulls a portion out of the mistling for two merchants who are torn between two options.
　It's not as high quality as the one used for Augusto, but it's definitely going to be a lot more effective than the one sold in Gorsuch.
　Of course Dalidra knew what the portion meant.

"Is it okay? Really?
"Oh, I'm very grateful that we have more military strength. Then you don't have to hesitate here?"
"... All right,"

　To be honest, Daridra has, of course, some of the parts in stock.
　But... compared to such a portion, the one in front of me was clearly a quality thing.

"That's pretty much all right, and you're going to attack the assassins' hideouts tonight, and of course, I'll have a few, except for me and Seto."

　No one can deny Ray's confirmation.
　In the first place, tomorrow, the smell will fade and the chances of being found will decrease.
　With that in mind, I can't deny that I'm being targeted by guards and assassins.
　In this way... they would find the hideout on the night of the assassin, and then launch an attack on it was supposed to be the time of the assassin.
