After the Ambris affair was over, the Rays arrived at Gillum without incident.
　Considering that the hardest part was how to proceed with Wallain's horse, which had been afraid of Seto, you'll see what the journey was like.
　In the end, Seto led the way under the guise of reconnaissance and arrived at Gilm with nothing else.
　Then they lead the Wallains to a shop where they can repair the carriage, where they bring out the carts and merchandise in the mistling, and Wallain bows his head deeply.

"Thank you very much. What would have happened if it had not been for Mr. Ray and his friends... that's why they would have to be adventurers or hired by other merchants in order to survive."
"...I don't know why the adventurer is coming first, but I'm glad he seems to have arrived safely. I'm afraid you'll have a hard time with the horse-drawn carriage, but do your best."
"Yes, I came to the frontier with more risk than before."

　After a brief exchange of greetings, Ray then turns to Jacomo and Mina.

"Would you like to go to the guild with me?"

　They are the two who have come to work in Gilm. I took it for granted that they would go to the guild now, so I asked if they would go with me. ... Surprisingly, they both shake their heads.

"You'll need to go to the guild to get paid for your escort, but I think you'd better leave some time."

　Mina's gaze was directed at Jacomo.
　This incident shattered the confidence and pride that had been in Jacomo.
　I hide it from anyone but Mina, but my childhood friend Mina knows what's going on there.
　I understood that if I didn't talk about it, there would be a lot of problems, whether I was an adventurer or a quit.

"Is that so? Well, I don't force you to do it' Then we'll go."
"Glu".

　Wallain, Mina and Giacomo bow to Ray's words.
　Without the lays, we would definitely be dead.
　Knowing that, he bowed to Ray in appreciation.
　...Giacomo envied Ray, who was acting with the most beautiful woman, Vichela, but nevertheless, he never forgot his kindness to be saved.
　They were going to the guild, seeing them off.





"Did you beat Ambrice? Is that true? No, Ray can't have said such nonsense. --but you don't seem very happy about it?"

　Coming to the guild, the Rays immediately asked Lenora to meet with Marina, who was thus led to the guildmaster's office.
　Marina wears a white party dress today.
　White dresses were well reflected on brown skin, and the wide open chest created a deep valley with rich two hills.
　It was Vichela, not Ray, who answered Marina, who sat on the sofa asking in wonder.

"We... no, it's true that Ray overthrew Ambrice. But Ray says there was something wrong with him when he knocked him down. I don't know if that's because Ambrice is not a monster, or for any other reason."
"What do you mean?"

　When asked for an answer with his gaze, Ray opens his mouth, looking a little troubled.

"I don't care if I have clear evidence or conviction. But how can I put it? Do you know what I mean by saying that I feel somewhat strange?"
"...yes, I know,"

　Marina has a history of acting as a skilled adventurer.
　For that reason, I knew for real that some adventurers had a certain intuition.
　In fact, Marina has had several experiences of saving her life when she was an adventurer, judging by intuition rather than logic.
　Vihela also likes combat, and she probably understands the existence of something like that kind of gut feeling without any reason.
　And Ray has developed a sense of his hand, perhaps related to his magical powers.
　Ultimately, the three of them all come to the same conclusion.
　In other words, the Ambris case is not over yet...
　There was no evidence, or, on the contrary, Ray's defeat of Ambrice, it was normal to say it was definitely his imagination.
　Still, given the current circumstances, it is true that the expedition of Ambrice is better, but... Marina says a little regretfully.

"Then you'd better not disclose yet that you might have knocked Ambrice down."
"Well, if you say that this case has been solved, and yet another bunch of monsters show up... you know it's going to be boring, right?"

　Marina nods to Vihela's words.
　Although not for a long time, this case of the herd has had a major impact on Gillum.
　That's for sure enough to reduce the number of merchants coming to Gilm.
　What would happen if, in this situation, the Ambris case was announced to have been resolved and the joyful merchants and adventurers were attacked again by the monster flock?
　Marina, who announced that the solution was definitely made, is to blame, and if she is not good at it, she can be thought to have said whatever she wanted to do, even for defeating Ambrice.
　In the first place, only the Reys saw Ambris, and only the Reys knocked him down.
　And Marina's close relationship with Ray is a well-known fact, and no one may have a strange intuition in conjunction with that in mind.

"I understand what they're saying. But what are you going to do, then? In the first place, I've knocked down the bad Ambrice... I'm telling you, but I think we should let you know about it as soon as possible."

　I still feel there's something in my hunch, but there's not something I can be sure of.
　Marina nods and opens her mouth to Ray, muttering a little hesitating.

"If Ambris had really been overthrown, wouldn't the leader species show up anymore, though of course it's conceivable that Ray would have produced the leader species before he had overthrown Ambris, and that leader species would still survive?"
"If we can't produce any more leader species, we'll definitely have fewer herds. ...that's the case, isn't it?"

　Marina nods to Vihela's words.

"But if the number of herds is still not decreasing and the damage continues in this situation, it shows that this case is not over yet."
"I suppose so,"

　I had a vague understanding that all three of them would probably never end up like this.
　Each of them shares a common understanding of each other, and eventually Marina opens her mouth.

"Nobody else has ever seen Ambrice overthrown?"
"Oh, there was a merchant named Wallaine and two escort adventurers, who were waiting at a distance."
"Did you secretly come to see what was going on with the Lays?"

　Just to be sure, just to make sure... Ray opens his mouth with a confident smile to Marina, who asks him that way.

"If I, Vichela, and, above all, Sett could come near in the midst of alarm, it would be as strong as a high-ranking adventurer."
"... well, I don't think they can do that."

　The image of Mina looking at Vichela with her longing eyes on her and the image of Jacomo looking at her is too much.
　Vichela, wearing a light coat that provokes a man, is naturally sensitive to his gaze.
　I don't think they're going to get past us, let alone the future.

"That is to say, only Ray knows about Ambrice,"

　Rey and Vihela nod once again to Marina, who breathes relief.

"Well, I beg your pardon, but I'll keep quiet about Ambrice for a while." while the flock will be discovered... oh?"

　Marina pauses and turns her eyes toward the door.
　It was the same with Ray and Vichela, who had heard the sound of the approaching man... or worse than that.
　Of course, as this is the guildmaster's office, guild officials who have some business to do may come.
　In such cases, however, they would only walk normally... or at least, they would rarely come so close to each other, unless it was an emergency.
　In other words, this means an emergency has occurred.

"I don't know. I'd like you to forgive me for any other problems in this situation."

　Marina muttered and knocked on the door almost simultaneously.a violent knock, rather than an ordinary one, as if it were a rush.
　Clearly something has happened, Marina tells her to go in with a gloomy look on her face.
　Marina's melancholy expression was enough for an ordinary man to see, and she was filled with a chill and a woman's gloss.
　Fortunately or unfortunately, Ray had turned his attention to the door and never noticed Marina.
　Vichela noticed Marina's appearance and looked a little envious of her charms, even from the same woman's point of view.
　It's not something to say about Ray, but the door opens while such a conversation is taking place.
　And it was a guild man whom Ray and Vihela had seen several times who entered the office in a different color.
　The guild staff working inside the counter, not the receptionist, opens their mouths tense and tight.

"Guildmaster, this is an urgent report. I found Ambrice!"
"What?"

　Marina's mouth was an unexpected embarrassment.
　Of course, I didn't expect everything to be solved by the Ambris that Ray had knocked down, but I guess I didn't expect Ambris to survive.

"When did you find it?"

　Perhaps the information Ray had discovered before he knocked it down was delivered by now.
　When I asked him that way, he opened his mouth with shining eyes.

"About three hours ago,"

　Three hours... that's about the time Ray knocked Ambrice down.
　In other words, it is right to assume that another ambrice has been discovered than Ray's.

(Wasn't there only one Ambris? I think it's possible... I don't understand how many Ambrises were created by magic.)

　Ambris is originally only known for one incident 300 years ago. If that's the case, it's no surprise that Marina has a life that she doesn't know about.

"Who found Ambrice? Who do you trust?"
"Yes. Rank C party. It's a scorching wind."
"...what?"

　Ray uttered a stupid voice.
　It's only natural. The scorching wind is a party that has a lot to do with Ray.
　And, above all, he even bet on Ambrice's discovery with the leader of the scorching wind, Mileine.
　Such a bet that if the Miredog could find Ambris before Ray, he would be entitled to spend the day with Seto.
　The place where the scorching wind is searching is relatively large, thanks to the presence of the archer, the bright eye, and the wizard Sulnin.
　Still, the search is much smaller than the Lays, who have a set to fly.
　Given the circumstances, it is absolutely impossible for the Miller Dogs to find Ambris.
　I thought so, but... that's why it was only natural for Mileine to let out a cry of surprise when she was told that she had found Ambris.

"Is it really Ambrice, not misjudgment?"

　a marina asking for confirmation
　You must have felt something about the remark. Guild officials nod in bewilderment.
　Guild officials who brought this information thought Marina would be happy to hear reports of the discovery of Ambris.
　However, the response was a little different from what I had expected.

"Yes, I don't think there's anything else like a black fog. No, maybe there is... I don't think there will be a similar monster in this situation with Ambris. ...what's the matter?"
"No, it's nothing," I'd like to hear a little story, so could you bring me a burning wind here?"

　He nods to his words, and the guild staff leaves his office to call for a blazing wind.

"What are we going to do?"

　If it's disturbing to be here, you can go home.
　Marina shakes her head to Ray, who tells her so.

"No, stay here. I want to hear various opinions."

　Though the words are muddled, Ray understands that he wants Rey to judge the words of the scorching wind, so he nods.
　And...

"Excuse me,"

　On behalf of him, Mileine called out, and three men, the scorching wind, entered the office.
