It was as guards searched for Ray's whereabouts that the post was contacted.
　One of the guards, powerful enough for most adventurers to catch, rushed breathlessly into the station.

"Huh, hah, hah, hah, hah, hah, hah, hah, hah, hah, hah, hah, hah, hah, hah!
"What's the matter!"

　Working as a security guard in Gilm, he sees a companion who suddenly comes in and immediately.
　If the person who came in had not worn the uniform of a guard, each would have taken up arms, judging it to be someone's attack.
　Because of their nature as guards, they often incur resentment from the opponents they have seized.
　Moreover, since Azimov has now been attacked, the guards are naturally wary of that area.

"It's Ray, it seems he ran along the barony with Seto and some others."

　The moment Ray is named, all the guards listening to the story twitch their faces.
　I heard from Marina and took back Azimov... he was being made to change in the clinic, but the clothes Azimov was wearing made it easy to understand how much the wound was.
　His friend was responsible and unconscious, though I don't know if Ray would admit the wound himself.
　The guards were desperately searching for him, but they couldn't find Ray looking for the man who attacked his friend.
　Not to mention Ray, Seto is gone with him. It would have been easy to find if it had been somewhere, but it was still hard to find.
　Of course, Gilm is classified as a city, but the population is increasing year by year and the actual population is no different from that of a city.
　...so much so that Dusker, the lord of Gilm, would have to expand the Gilm in the near future.
　Originally, Gilm was built by the kingdom of Mileana with a great deal of national power, gathering large numbers of soldiers and slaves, and still causing more damage.
　At first, it was only made with the help of the nation, but if the guillem was to be expanded now, the lord had to do it on his own.
　No wonder. The lord of this land is Dusker, and this is Dusker's territory.
　How much effort and money does it take to do it on this frontier?
　Of course, if you ask other nobles for help, they will help you any number of times.
　And, of course, they will demand various interests in Guillum.
　The only frontier in the kingdom of Milliana is worth it.
　That's why the Larkus frontier counties, which only exist in one town, are the second most neutral after the royal and aristocratic factions.
　Dusker, however, has no intention of influencing other nobles in guillem.
　That's even from one's own faction.
　...that's why I'm worried about what to do with the expansion of the guillem.
　At any rate, it was difficult for guards to find Ray because he was only that big... and it was the report that the guards who came to the scene brought him.

"You're lying, aristocracy!"

　One of the guards screamed involuntarily, as did the others.
　Above all, the aristocracy...
　Since it's called an aristocratic quarter, it's natural for many aristocrats to live in.
　Like Azot merchants and former guildmaster Marina, it may not be officially called aristocracy because they have residences even if they are not aristocrats.
　But... if you think about it, there was a good chance of the nobility interfering with Ray.
　Just as the number of new adventurers has increased in the spring, there are not many aristocrats who have recently come to Gilm.
　Such a person, of course, has never actually seen Ray before, but only heard of him by word of mouth.
　You might wonder if such a person had interfered with Ray.

"What is the damage to the barony?"

　One of the guards asks the person who brought the news.
　While listening to the information, the others will be ready to go as soon as possible.
　My partner is Ray.
　Wearing some defensive armour makes little sense in front of Ray's aggression.
　The best choice, then, was to choose a mobile device.

"There has been no particular damage so far. According to the adventurers who have reported, they have made their way to one point, regardless of the adventurers who have tried to stop them."
"... It's a set,"

　One of the guards muttered, preparing for the attack.
　I've heard from Marina that Seto is chasing the smell.
　I didn't know exactly how good Seto's sense of smell was, but as long as Seto was a high-ranking monster, it was safe to judge him to have a much better sense of smell than humans.

"You should have crushed this water to get in touch with Mr. Marina said.

　The guard, who had been questioning Marina about the situation, nods back to the words.

"Oh, I don't want to play with Ray, so call Marina right away. Marina would do something about Ray."

　It was better to say desire than certainty, but it was only natural that the guards had no chance of winning if they were to fight Ray properly.
　That's why in this case it's definitely better to act with Marina, who will have a strong influence on Ray than to do something on their own.
　The guards are then ready to face Ray until the water is crushed and Marina comes back to her station.

"The carriage is ready!"

　The guard, who had prepared his feet for the aristocracy, entered the station and cried out.
　It's quite a long way from here to the aristocracy.
　This time I had to hurry up and get there, so I prepared a horse-drawn carriage so that I wouldn't waste my energy by running again.

"Come on, I hope Captain Langa will be there." I'm good at dealing with Ray."

　One of the guards mutters, but no one complains about it.
　Because that's what all the guards thought.
　But the Langa is no longer in Gilm.
　He was on a business trip to Abuero by order of Dusker.
　It would have been the honest feelings of most of the guards that...
　Still, I can't help but lament the absence of Langa and do nothing more.
　That's why we're doing what we can today.

"Not to mention going to the barony, but to leave the people who are patrolling the rest of the world?"
"Oh, Ray's case is important, but it doesn't mean there's always a commotion in the streets."

　This was also a tough spot for the guards.
　As long as we have a job of keeping Gillum safe, we can't take security guards on patrol elsewhere.
　...though it takes a lot of time to contact and gather all the guards scattered all over the guillem.
　And when the guards are ready...

"Is it a little late?"

　Marina shows up at the station.

"No, it's all right. for I was just about to leave."
"Yes, the cab outside?"
"Yes,"

　With a brief exchange of words, the best guards get into the carriage among those currently free themselves to move freely move.
　Of course, it is impossible for all the guards to get into a carriage.
　Only the skilled guards ride in the carriage, while the rest run to the barony.
　and a few guards mounted the cab, and the carriage departed.

"And where was Ray after all?"

　Marina muttered in the carriage.
　As long as the carriage is used to carry as many guards as possible, the carriage is packed close to the limit... no, with more guards than the limit.
　Under such circumstances, some would naturally be in close contact with the marina, who would feel the soft body and smell of the marina in close proximity and would have completely hardened themselves, even if they knew what the situation was like.
　The guardsman, who was talking to Marina, opened his mouth with a feeling of envy, pity, and complexity at the sight of such fellows.

"It's an aristocratic quarter,"
"…I see. Lords' quarter, you know."

　Given her own mansion, Marina is naturally quite familiar with the aristocracy.
　And since he was a guildmaster until today, he knows what kind of uproar those who came to Guillum in the spring will cause.
　There is also information from a person who was speaking to security guards just before they were called out with water made by magic of spirits.But... there were times when I wasn't convinced by that alone.

"When I was looking for Ray, a strange person came in contact with me.
"Strange person?"

　The guards tilt their heads at Marina's sudden words.
　In the remote guillem, there are many different people.
　Many of them are naturally called strange people.
　That's because Azimov, the victim of this incident, was recognized as a strange person by the people around him.

"Yes, I don't know how to describe it... a person whose words "ordinary" or "average" look exactly like human form. He's average in height and features. He's that kind of person."
"And again..."

　The guards are slightly at a loss for words.
　Ordinary means you can be in most places.
　That's probably the best talent in the city.
　Being a guard helped me understand how dangerous such a person was.
　The other guards who had been listening were similarly firm.

"Anyway, he brought me a message. This case is about to hit Ray and Azot."
"…I see. Is that the aristocratic quarter?"

　It is a well-known story that the residence of Galajato, the president of the Azot Chamber of Commerce, is located in the aristocratic quarter.
　The guards understand why Ray left for the barony.

"But, Mr. Marina," If you are going to hit me, I suppose that this case is not the work of the Azot?"
"At least that's what the people who came into contact with me said," It's only natural, but I don't know if it's true. -- I don't think Gala pigeon would be hostile to Ray, but not all Azot merchants."
"Yes, sir," To be honest, if I were to doubt all the members of the Azot Chamber of Commerce, it would be a little too much trouble, and I would like you to be different if possible."

　The guard muttered, recalling the commotion between Ray and the Azot merchants a few years ago.
　The uproar eventually led to the capture of alchemists from the Vestian Empire, resulting in the development of alchemy in the kingdom of Milliana, alchemy, if only slightly.
　But in proportion to that, the guards were busily moving about.
　Being a security guard, it's true that we need to do something about it when there's a disturbance, but that doesn't mean that we want to spend days willingly and busily.

"Well, yes," At that time, Gilmoo became noisy."

　Marina smiles as she recalls those days.
　Of course it wasn't just the guards who were busy at that time. The guild has had a lot of busy time, too.
　Recalling a few years ago, the horse-drawn carriage enters the barony.
　There's no one to blame for, except for the guard's carriage.
　Should I say that the adventurers couldn't afford to do so because they were busy informing their employers of the information when they found out that Ray had broken into the aristocracy?

"It will take me a little longer to the house where the president of the Azot Chamber lives,"

　The security guard's concern would be whether Galajato's mansion still remains when he arrives over there.

"Ray has a keen intuition, and I don't think the Azot Chamber will be hostile to them, so I don't think it's a problem... at least he won't attack them without any questions and answers, and he'll see if they really have anything to do with this matter."

　Marina's words were correct... what Marina and the guards saw when they arrived at the intended mansion was Ray explaining the situation to the guards and other aristocratic private soldiers and adventurers in front of the main gate with Gala pigeon.
