What Sett was looking at was clearly the main gate of Gorsuch, meaning that the Reys were going out of town.

"Glu?"

　Seth bends his head asking, "What's wrong?" Ray looks at his companion, caressing her.

"What do you think? Do you really think there's an assassin's hideout outside the city?"

　Of the two asked, Zarroost tilts his head and Narus shakes his head.
　And the first person to speak was Narcus.

"If you're taking refuge outside Gorsuch, you'll be attacked by monsters. That's certain, isn't it? I don't think I'd set up my hideout in such a place. even if it were temporary."

　The explanation was perfectly understandable if you think about it normally.
　No, on the contrary, everyone will admit that this is definitely the right opinion.

"But it's Seto, the Gryphon of the Rank A Monster. Do you think such a monster would go out of town without any meaning?"
"...that Rank A monster, Gryphon, was looking for an enemy hideout when he began to buy and drink at a stall for some reason."
"Well, well, that's..."

　Now that you say so, Zarroost can't go back.
　Instead, it was Ray who retorted.

"If you don't understand it, Sett will show it that way from the beginning. But this desire to get out of town certainly means that the assassin's hideout is out of town."
"Glu".

　At Ray's words, Seto exclaims.
　When he heard the cry... No, perhaps because he heard it, Narcus looked suspiciously at Seto.
　Such a scene between the three of them is obviously suspicious.
　The surroundings are already dark and the main gate is closed.
　Naturally, there would be no human figure near the main gate...

"What are the three of them doing?"

　It was only natural for a suspicious guard to speak to him.
　But Ray and his men face the guards who have approached them without showing any sign of impatience.

"Narsus the adventurer," I think the lord of the manor should have called us in for convenience."

　It was Narcus who came forward and exchanged words with the guards.
　His face is known to some extent as the bodyguard of Dari-Dora, and the fact that Dari-Dora sent a letter to his lord, Liubrand, was probably the reason for the narcissus.
　And, as a matter of course, the guards were under orders from Liebrand.

"Excuse me. Dear Dallidra, Augusto has been asked to provide convenience. What can I do for you?"

　Even though I don't feel funny inside, I can't believe a single guard defies the lord's orders.
　Narcus understood the soldiers' feelings, but it was true that if the assassin's hideout was really outside the city, he would have to do something about it.
　I thought it might be a good idea to go to Auguste's house and talk about the smell that Seto had caught heading out of town, but now it's true that time is too late.
　The fastest way to move is definitely Set. And Narcus expected Ray to be next, himself, and Zarroost.
　But I can't send Sett, who can smell it, to Auguste's house, and at the same time I can't remove Ray, who can communicate with Sett.
　Narcus himself can't go back now, given that he's been here quite a bit too hard work. Zarroost would do the same.
　Narcus and Zaroust regret that they both failed to defend and hurt their targets against their attackers.
　That being the case, it was obvious that we could never go back here.

(If so...)

　There was only one guard in front of my eyes.
　As long as this is the main gate, there is no single guard.
　There must be several others, and if so, there was no problem leaving a message for one person.

"I'm sorry, but I'd like to ask you a few favors. Will you listen?"

　As long as the lord had given orders, the guards could not say no.

"All right. If it's possible for you, take it."
"I'll be saved. First of all, I want you to get us out of Gorsuch."
"Are you insane?"

　The guards scream reflexively at Narus' words.
　In response to the cry, a number of guards peeped out from a station near the main gate, but Narcus nods back that there was no problem.

"It's all right, as you know, that I have confidence in my arms, and Ray is a notorious adventurer and a follower of the Gryphon. Zarroost is also a well-known adventurer in this Ghosh."
"But! I wouldn't go so far as to say that going out of town at night is suicidal, but it's dangerous!"

　The guards' words came not from the bottom of their hearts, but from the fear that if they let them out and die as a result, they might be stared at by Dharidra.
　Knowing this, Narcus opens his mouth with a confident smile.

"No problem. Whatever happens in this case, you know it has nothing to do with the guards."

　Well, you wouldn't have guessed that the raiding hideout was outside the city. The guard's attitude softens, albeit slightly, to the narcissistic narcissism.
　However, the guards' eyes were not directed at Narus, but at Seto.
　There's a Gryphon, so I don't know what to do with it.
　Even at close quarters, the guards could sense the power of Seto.
　I don't understand the power accurately, but it's true that just being a glyphon makes me feel something overwhelming.

"... All right,"
"And the second thing I want to ask you,"

　The moment the word "second" comes out of Narus' mouth, the guard's face twitches slightly.
　Of course. The first request is to open the normally closed main gate so that we can get out of the city.
　It was only natural for me to be wary of such a request.
　But Narcus opens his mouth with a penetrating smile.

"Don't worry. I don't mean to say that this is reckless. Do you know where Mr. Auguste's mansion is?"
"What? Well,"

　I wonder if a security guard who knows the conflict between August and Dallidra will be asked to help do something for August's estate.
　However, there is also Zarroost, who guards August, and Ray, who is said to be cooperating with August.
　The question arose among the guards as to whether they would do anything to Auguste's mansion in such a situation.
　Narcus, who follows the guard's gaze and understands what he is thinking, continues with a smile.

"Mr. Auguste's house has Mr. Dallidra. I want you to tell the two that we've gone out of town. My destination is outside the city."
"...what?"

　The guard seemed to be deeply incomprehensible, but Narcus didn't mean to say any more.It's not just about trying to keep a secret, it's about purely taking into account the security of the guards' safety.
　I don't think the guards will be targeted, but there's a chance.

"Well, that's fine,"
"Well, then, please,"

　To say so briefly, Narcus turns to Ray and Zaroust and Seto and heads to the main gate.
　The guards rush to the station to explain the situation to their comrades in order to open the main gate.
　Opening the front gate at this hour seems like a suicide to the guards.
　However, he could not resist the direct order from the lord to obey Darydra's escort.
　One of them heads to Auguste's house and opens the main gate with the rest of the crowd.
　However, even if you open the main gate, it doesn't mean you open it completely.
　I couldn't do that, if I thought about the possibility of monsters attacking me.
　That being the case, opening the main gate is a minimum... that's the very narrow position where the widest set of people in the party can pass.

"Well, when will he be back?"

　The person I asked was one of the guards who didn't want to pretend to open the main gate again at night.
　I want you to do it after tomorrow morning, if possible.
　That's what I have in mind, but Narcus is heartless in denying the hope.

"I don't know. It could be tomorrow morning, maybe I'll be back in a few hours. Unfortunately, we can't decide on this matter."

　Narcus can't say when he'll be back, as he never expected the hideout to be outside the city.
　I don't think the assassins have a hideout right next to the city, thinking that they might be able to come back soon if the hideout was near the city.

(if this had a hideout all over the town, I could say it would be over in no time.)

　Narcus even wondered, obviously, if Seto was wrong, because the matter was clearly beyond expectation.
　But such an idea is quickly denied.
　How good are Ray and Seto? I couldn't doubt it.
　...though Ray often acted foolishly from the sidelines, and because he didn't know Ray, he thought he was a completely high-ranking adventurer.

"Yes, sir," ...I see. Be careful."

　I told him so, but what he saw on his face was that he wanted me to replace him with the next guard before coming back.
　I understand what the guards think, but the conscious narsus that they're talking nonsense doesn't go any further.
　He nodded briefly to the guard's words and walked out of town through the open gate.
　At an instant, a desert-like cold wind blows at night, and Narus and Zarroost look uncomfortable with the cold.
　Meanwhile, Seto, as a Gryphon, had nothing to do with this level of cold, and Ray had escaped the cold thanks to the Dragon Robe.
　Noticing that, Narcus and Zaroust cast a momentary envious glance at Ray.
　Behind him Ray looks up into the sky, listening to Gorsuch's main gate close.
　Some days have passed since I came to Sollein... and to Gorsuch, which flourishes around the oasis of the desert.
　But... still, if you look up at the desert sky, you'll be dazzled by the starry light.

(Amazing! I don't think I could have seen this scenery in Japan.) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ,

　While I was thinking about it, I heard a deep sigh nearby.
　When I looked over there, Zarroost naturally looked dumb and Narcus understood Ray's feelings.
　Born and raised in Ghosh, Zaroust feels nothing of the usual.
　Even though it was a fascinating sight for people from other places, Zarroost, who had been close to him since birth, could not understand why Ray was so impressed by the sight.
　In comparison, Narcus, who is not from the country of Sollein, was drawn to Gorsuch by Dariadra and was dazzled by the sight of countless stars in the desert sky.
　...however, having lived in Gorsuch for many years, I had no choice but to get used to the view.
　Having had a similar experience, however, Narus was able to understand Ray's idea.
　But it's also true that Ray can't be left in that excitement forever.
　We didn't come out of Gorsuch to see stars in the night sky, but we're here to attack the hideout of assassins targeting Dharidra and August.

"Ray, I'm sorry to say that you're fascinated by the starry sky, but let's get going. Staying still in the desert at night is like asking a monster to attack you."
"Huh? Oh, yes. I'm sorry."
"All right. I was fascinated when I came to Gorsuch."

　That's how Zarroost breathed a sigh at Ray and Narcus, who were talking like that, saying he couldn't really understand.
