After completing a brief explanation of the incident at the guard post, several guards headed for Serrari's sanatorium.
　This is to bring in Azimov, the victim of this incident.
　If he had really been injured, he wouldn't have been able to move.
　Fortunately, however, Azimov's wounds were healed by Ray's own parts, and at least he was no longer in danger of his life.
　That's why the guards went to pick up Azimov just in case.

"And, Mr. Marina," Don't you know where Ray has gone?"

　Marina explained that she followed the smell with Seto, Vihela and Bune, but there was nothing she could do about it unless she knew exactly where it had gone.
　As Ray says he's mad, if he doesn't do well, some of the guillem... or maybe even all of it will be destroyed.
　As a security guard and one of Gilm's lovers, I could never tolerate it.
　We need to calm Ray down somehow.
　With that in mind, I asked Marina, who shook her head in silence.

"I'm sorry, but I carried Azimov to the clinic as soon as they left, so I don't know where he went."

　At this point, security personnel have not yet received information that Ray had rammed into the barony.
　No, it's true that the guards in the aristocracy had information from adventurers, but that information had not yet arrived at this post.
　If I had known the information, I would have immediately taken other guards to the barony.
　...though it was not so easy to judge, considering that it might cause him to be hostile to Ray.

"Yes, sir," ...but I don't think this guillem has the audacity to steal Ray's magic items. as I would normally say."

　Various troubles caused by the annual rookie adventurer -- which means he's a rookie to Gilm.
　Some people may think it's easy to make money because it's a remote guillem.
　And if the person who thought stupidly had half-baked strength... it would be clear what would happen.
　Usually they are baptized by Gilm's adventurers, but that's not the case either.

"But will an adventurer who has just come to Gilm go after Azimov?"

　He's a skilled alchemist, but that's why he'll want to avoid messing around.

"No, but not many people live around Azimov's residence, so in some cases..."

　a sparsely populated house in Azimov
　If you think about it that way, it's not surprising that someone who has just come to Gilmoo and doesn't know much about the situation would do such a thing. It's not strange, but...

"I feel a lot of discomfort when I think of it as a casual crime. In the first place, Azimov, who usually doesn't leave the house, thinks he's an alchemist."
"Isn't that a coincidence?"
"You didn't attack Azimov because you were an alchemist, but you happened to be an alchemist when you attacked him? ... Well, it's not a possibility."

　Marina, however, was clearly not convinced by the guards' explanations.
　Somebody happens to find the perfect location to attack Azimov's house, where Azimov happens to be an alchemist, Azimov happens to be in the lab, and there are a number of magic items around him, and he happens to find Ray's Slapnil shoes... and escapes when he finds Ray in the house.
　How many coincidences would it take to do such a thing?
　It's already hard to call it a coincidence, let alone a coincidence or two.

"Well, if you think about it a lot, it might be so. What are you going to do now, Marina?"

　Marina thinks a few words from a security guard who finds it difficult to dismiss as a coincidence.
　You can wait at the station as it is, but if possible, I'd like to find out about this matter.
　...as a guildmaster might have been a problem, but fortunately Marina is just an adventurer.
　There's nothing wrong with acting the way you want.
　At the same time, however, it is true that Ray is running along with his emotions.
　Perhaps... no, there was no doubt that this incident would cause such a stir that the guards would be contacted.

"I'll try to find it myself a little." But if anything happens, can you let me know? If Ray is violent, you need someone to calm him down, don't you?"
"That's... yes,"

　Under normal circumstances, it is the duty of a guard to deal with problems if they arise.
　In fact, the riots that have occurred since spring...the guards are suppressing many of the riots caused by the adventurers who came to Gilm.
　...and much so because other adventurers often put it down before the guards put them down.
　However, not only the new adventurers, but also the original adventurers in Gilmoo, caused more disturbances.
　At any rate, most adventurers were guards who could do something about it, but only against "most" adventurers.
　If you become a high-ranking adventurer, let alone Ray, who is notorious, you can't suppress it.
　If Ray is really to be subdued, it will need to attract other high-ranking adventurers and notoriety.
　If you do that, it is certain that it will be a disturbance involving the whole Gilm, and Gilm itself will be in danger of disappearing.
　To avoid this, we needed someone to calm Ray down.
　Marina is definitely one of the best in guillem in that respect.
　...and for a moment the guard looked subtle and bowed to Marina, asking who was the best person to calm Ray down.

"I'll let you know as soon as I know something."
"Really? Then..."

　Marina muttered the guard's words and chanted a spell briefly.
　Then, in the next moment, a mass of water appeared in the room where the marinaes were.
　The lump of water is no different from the one used to carry Azimov.
　However, while the water mass that carried Azimov was large enough to carry people, the water mass this time is only fist-sized.

"Well, is this...?"

　The guard asks bewilderedly at the sudden appearance of a mass of water.
　Still, she didn't watch out for a lump of water because she trusted Marina.
　Being a guildmaster for many years was enough to inspire strong confidence in Marina.

`It's made out of spirit magic,' If you know where Ray is, crush this lump of water. and I'll be able to communicate with you know.
"...it's convenient,

　While there is no clear communication between the two, Elgin has probably decided that water-based communication is very much more useful.
　But Marina shakes her head at such a guard.

"I'm sorry, but this isn't that convenient, first of all, it's not so wide a range, it's just water in a few hours... and above all, you can't make it unless you're pretty good at using spirit magic."

　It was impossible to constantly produce this mass of water, unless so many people could use spiritual magic.

"Yes, sir," I'm afraid I can't help it."

　The guards are not in a position to force Marina to give up quickly.
　Marina is not the only one, though there are few spirits wizards.
　I was wondering if I could find another spirit wizard.

"Well, thank you very much,"
"Oh, yes. All right. I'll contact you as soon as I find out where Ray is."

　With a brief exchange of words, Marina leaves the station.

"... now," It's a question of how to find a clue."

　the springy blue sky and warm air If you look at that alone, it's no wonder you're taking a nap somewhere in the shade.
　I've seen many times before that Sett likes to take a nap and that Ray sometimes goes out with it.
　But... I still didn't think Ray would do such a thing in this situation.Ray, who was so furious, would surely be the one who attacked Azimov and would find the culprit who attacked Azimov.

(I wish you would at least not kill me.)

　That's what I'm afraid I'll be in trouble if I don't have anyone to ask what's going on in this case.
　Marina's lack of intimacy with Azimov is probably a big part.
　I like Azimov in his own way, who has little interest in anything other than alchemy and who doesn't approach me when I see him.
　walk around the city thinking about it.
　...the way Marina looked today was nothing but a pure walk, not a particular place to look.
　About ten minutes after leaving the station... after that time, Marina looks around.

(I don't think it's time for some reaction)

　Thinking this way, Marina looks around and notices who is looking at her.
　Many people are looking at Marina because of her beauty and her party dress, which exposes her skin wide.
　That's true of all ages.
　But the gaze now directed at Marina was quite different from that.
　Looking back at his gaze, he was a mediocre man with no characteristic features.
　That's the kind of person you are dealing with, as if you've taken the word "ordinary" or "average."
　I'm afraid they're too ordinary to notice it even if they pass each other. a supposed partner
　That's the kind of person he was dealing with, but he probably realized that Marina had turned her eyes on him. When I bow my head slightly, I move my gaze meaningfully toward the empty side.
　Marina, naturally suspicious of such a partner for a moment, followed by whether she had the option of not following him.
　The people around her looked after her because of her gorgeous beauty and clothes, but after all, without doing anything else, she moved toward the deserted side.

"... now that you've shown me around, that's enough." Do you know anything about this matter?"
"All I have to do is convey the information that my husband taught me. Is that all right?"

　When the man in front of Marina's gaze turned around, he said it in a flat tone... in a completely emotionless voice.
　He was a man of no particular character with the exact expression of ordinary or average, but on the other hand, he was strongly impressed by Marina as a characteristic of men.

"Yes, I don't mind," Now I want even a little clues, and it's me to check if the information is real."
"Well, then, straight to the point." This was done by a certain person in an attempt to smear Ray and Azot."
"...the Azot trade?"

　Marina is also in the guildmaster position, so she knows of Ray's previous confrontation with Azot.
　This was part of the plot by the Vestian Empire, which resulted in the capture of the president of the Azot Chamber of Commerce at that time, and the fact that his brother Galahat was the current president of the Azot Chamber of Commerce.
　And Gala pigeon's appointment as president of the Azot trade association has restored his relationship with Ray.

"Who did that to you? Does the person who planned this case know what kind of person Ray is? If you think you can roll Ray in your hands, you'll regret it."

　Marina muttered in a strongly felt voice, but the man didn't seem particularly upset.
　It was as if he thought it would be all right to do with this case.

"I'm afraid I haven't heard of that either. But I know Ray, so I don't think there's any problem."
"I hope so." Is that the end of the information I can give you?"
"Yes, at least this is not the case of Azot."
"Strangely on the shoulders of the Azot trade?"
"I can't say anything. I wonder if it's up to you what you think."

　Tell him so, the man turns his back on Marina and leaves.
　Marina thought of saying something to him, but she realized that the lump of water she had left behind in the station had collapsed, and she gave up saying anything more.
