The conversation at the station ended in less than half an hour.
　In the first place, Ray and others really didn't understand why they were attacked.
　When asked why they were attacked in such a situation, they can't answer it in a natural way.
　The prospect of hiding something in Elena's most suspicious carriage was not clear from examining it.
　Of course, it's just that the laymen didn't notice, and there's no doubt that they hid something in the carriage, but it's still unlikely.
　There is also the question of whether someone who can imitate such a thing without the Ray's knowledge will send such a person.
　Eventually, Ray and his colleagues were released after deciding that they had no choice but to question the attackers who had lost consciousness.

"I wish I could have known the circumstances,"
"You'll tell me one of these days, won't you? There are a lot of important people here, and if they don't report it, they'll get scolded."

　Marina responds to Ray's muttering as she sits on the sofa in the carriage.
　The communication that took place just now seems to be spreading among the inhabitants.
　Now heading to the Wheat-tei at dusk, outside the window many people saw the cabs in which the Rays were riding and talked to the people nearby.

"Hey, man. Do you know the trouble? The man in the carriage was suddenly attacked on the main street."
"Oh? Stupid, man. You're walking with that carriage, aren't you? That carriage has Ray in it. What are you thinking of attacking such a carriage?"
"I was watching the attack, and you were shouting something incomprehensible?"
"Hey, are you serious? That means you were going to commit robbery in the guillem."
"That's why I'm saying it. and the men who attacked me were like masks."
"...what did you really want to do?"

　The passersby who were talking to me could only hang their heads.
　In fact, they had no idea what the men who had attacked the carriage wanted to do.
　On the contrary, the guards and the laymen did not know why, and the only clue now was the men they had caught.

"It was a kind of stupid attack, but there are few clues leading to the mastermind behind the scenes."

　Vihela mutters as she drinks fruit water from Ray.
　This carriage was custom-made by the Duke of Kelebel, although cold fruit water would normally be cold in late autumn.
　Naturally, heating and cooling are also provided.

(Is it similar to eating ice cream on a kotatsu in winter?)

　While drinking fruit water, Ray felt that way about the situation.

"Well, I don't really want to think that someone who behaves like that was actually thinking about something in detail."

　Marina replies to Vihela's words.
　Elena nods over a glass of fruit water, perhaps in agreement with the opinion.
　In the course of the conversation the carriage moved on, until it reached near the guild.

"Oh, I'll drop you off here," There are a lot of things to do, and we need to spread the information that we have captured that dungeon."

　Marina was determined to hand over the guildmaster to her juniors, but she is still the guildmaster.
　If so, there is a lot of work to be done.
　Especially now he was away from the guild over the Vihela affair.
　Naturally, there are many documents that the guildmaster has to check.
　It is also necessary to inform everywhere that the guildmaster will be handed over.
　The marina was a bit special, though an ordinary guildmaster wouldn't have made such a big fuss.
　He has been guildmaster for many years in a remote land called Gilm.
　Many adventurers in this guillem have taken care of Marina.
　It's not that I've been taken care of, but it's only natural that once I see Marina, a beautiful woman who shines a woman's charms to a rich degree, it remains in my consciousness.
　And if you're a man... even if you're a woman, you'll be struck by her charms.
　If such a marina quits her guildmaster position, there is no doubt that there will be a stir.
　Other than that, Marina has a close relationship with Dusker, the lord of Gilm.
　Guilds in guilms are already a very important element.
　Gilm in the frontier is getting along well because of his being an adventurer.
　If the guildmaster, who controls the adventurer, quits tomorrow, he will never be the guildmaster.
　It's important to make a round of greetings and, above all, take over.
　...but the workers will have to come back here to take over, and that will probably be a long way off.
　When the workers returned, Marina was going to take over and hand over the guild master's seat, starting now... and coming winter.

"Is that so? All right. I should have taken you home if possible, but I don't know Marina's house."
"Well, now that you mention it," I used to meet him in the guild's office. My house is set up in the aristocratic quarter. Anyway, if you quit the guildmaster position, you'll see more people there."

　Marina's words make Ray strangely convinced.
　I understand the importance of adventurers in guillem, and since I am a guildmaster who brings them together, I think it is impossible to let them live in a careless place.
　With the marina's ability, it would be safe to live in a slum.
　But when you think of the reputation, as a guildmaster... let alone a lord of the guild, you couldn't let the marina live in a slum-like place.

"Can I quit the guildmaster or live in the barony?"
"Even if I were to quit as guildmaster, I would be in the position of adviser. Besides, did you buy the house from what I earned? It's a very small house for the aristocracy."

　Of course, Marina could have built one of the largest mansions in the aristocracy.
　He has that much money, and he has enough power in terms of being in the guillem.
　Marina's big mansion, however, wasn't very interesting.
　The bigger the house, the more trouble it takes to clean it.
　What's more, I'm often in the guild for most of the time, and I only return to the mansion when I go to bedtime.
　If you go out of your way to build a large house in such a place, it will take a lot of trouble.
　You have to hire people to clean up, and you have to work as a guildmaster, so you can't hire a careless person.
　As a result, the size of the house Marina now lives in had settled down to what she described as a house rather than a house.
　...and not hire people to clean the house, but the marina does it herself.
　However, they do not use cleaning tools such as brooms and cloths, but rather use spirit magic to finish them in a short time.

"Really? I hope we can eventually go to Marina's house."
"Yes, I hope it will happen as soon as possible,"

　Marina replies to Vihela, greets both Elena and Ray lightly and gets out of the carriage.
　Being close to the guild, many adventurers naturally knew Marina's face, watched and listened to the above disturbance.
　As a result, the marina gets out of the carriage and attracts the attention of the people around her.
　Marina didn't seem to care at all about what people were looking at her and said goodbye to Seto and to Yero on his head.
　Then, when Marina sees her going into the guild, the carriage begins to move again.

"Elena, will you like the Wheat-tei at dusk?"
"Oh, so be it," I should have gone straight to the Wheat-tei at dusk, but it took a long time."

　It was all because of the masked assailants that Elena couldn't understand.
　Marina was supposed to act separately at the Wheat House at dusk, but now that such an incident has happened, she cannot walk the marina to the guild.
　Of course, with Marina's ability, even if there are nearly a hundred men, they will be able to sweep away with spirit magic and archery.
　However, there is no doubt that it would have been better to send it directly to the guild in case of emergency.We had to be as vigilant as we could now because we didn't know what the other party was thinking.

"But even though I'm back in the guillem... it's a very trifling thing to do you think?"

　It's Vihela to mutter deeply.
　Vichela must have been looking forward to many things, since it was her first guillem in two months. ...though I had been unconscious for two months.

"Well, I wish I could have had a big party. Why don't you?"

　Originally, other adventurers are busy preparing for the winter.
　Whether you're an adventurer who hasn't saved enough money yet, or an adventurer who has saved a little but wants to live a better life.

"If Ray likes it, that's all right." ...and Elena,"
"Huh?"

　Vihela, who was talking to Ray, suddenly calls out to Elena, who was drinking fruit water.

"What's the matter?"
"How long will Elena stay in Gilmoo until spring?"

　I hope so if possible.
　With that in mind, Vichela asks Elena, but Elena shakes her head.

"I wish I could, but this time I've been pushing myself a little too hard. We need to get back as soon as possible. Fortunately, I don't know if this is the right way to say it, but it hasn't snowed yet."

　It smells dark when you leave the guillem before it really snows.

"Really? ... but may I leave you where you are?"

　With a smile around her mouth, Vihela's gaze turns to Ray.
　I'm not saying anything, but what it means is clear to Elena.

"…Well, don't be funny. I have an idea, then?"
"Oh, what's your idea? Do you think Elena can do anything about it in this situation? In the first place, Marina is leaving the guildmaster and joining us. What are you going to do with Elena?"

　Vihela asks mischievously, but the light in her eyes is serious.
　Even though he was a former member of the Imperial family, he is now an adventurer.
　Marina is abandoning her position as guildmaster and joining them.
　Elena, by comparison, is still bound by the aristocracy.
　It was clear that I wanted to tell you so.
　Elena probably understood what Vihela meant. shut up with a slight frown
　If things go on like this, it will be difficult to be recognized as Ray's partner.
　For Elena, family... and the Duke of Quelevel are not so easy to throw away.
　Of course, I understand Ray to be of paramount importance, but the Duke and Duchess of Quevel are also of paramount importance.
　It is safe to say that there is a difference in the depth of feelings between Vichela and Vichela, who ran away from the Westian Empire.
　Elena knows that, but at the same time she doesn't think she can imitate Vihela.
　The atmosphere in the carriage dims slightly as Elena begins to worry.
　The presence of Yero in the carriage might have been somewhat brighter, but Yero is now out of the carriage with Seto.

"Well, Elena must have a lot of things to think about and do, but you should think about them carefully. I won't say anything more, so you'd better think it over."

　When Vichela tells her so, she goes silent.
　Of course Elena would shut up, and there was no way Ray could say anything about it.
　In silence, the carriage went on... until it reached the Wheat-tei at dusk.
　And when I met the laymen who had come down...

"Yes!"

　It's been a while since I saw it. It's been a while.
