The Lays left Gala pigeon's house, but they couldn't have left the aristocracy as expected.
　Those who wanted to know what was going on told them to stop by their employer or master's house.
　However, they want to know the actual situation, but they want to get to know Ray and others more.
　Rejecting it, or ignoring the guards who come out with them explaining the situation, the Rays go down the barony street.

"I've never had such a crowd before,"

　Of course, there were people who wanted to get to know Ray.
　It's only natural that he's notorious for being a Rank B adventurer and yet demonizing the Gryphon set.
　But given Ray's personality, no one was so forced to approach him.
　No, it's right that Ray was there at first, but he diminished as his character spread.
　But why?
　Marina opens her mouth with a smile on her face.

"You know we're going to have a party, right? And if you leave people in the streets trying to gather a little bit of information about this case... of course you'll find out that we're having a party in the guild today."
"Ah... I see. It's because they have the power to gather information, starting with aristocrats."

　Ray mutters as if he were convinced, but if that's the case, the answer would be negative.

"You want even a little bit of information about our... red lotus wings, don't you? But if you sell our information too easily, it will be cheap, so be careful."
"...I suppose." Don't let Beune follow you easily, especially because she gives you food."
"Yes!"

　Viehla responds with a slight discontent.
　Don't follow strangers who give you food, that's the caution you give your child.
　However, in the sense of being a child, Bune is still sufficiently young.
　Besides food, Vihela doesn't pay such attention to Bune.
　But when Bune was little... even smaller than she is now, there was a time when she could not eat well before meeting Vichela.
　This may be reflected in Bune's smallness today, but for this reason Bune has a strong attachment to food.
　...I'm always eating enough to wonder where that little body fits into.
　Perhaps that's why Vihela warned Bune not to be caught by food...

"Wouldn't it be difficult to communicate if you fed Bune?"

　Basically, Bune only says the word 'n', so there is no doubt that he will have a hard time trying to get some information out of course.
　If Bune's opinion is to be heard smoothly, it will be necessary to take Vihela with you.
　And if Vihela was to follow such a partner... she wouldn't have to think about it first.

"Well... here we are again."

　Ray and his men were walking down the street, but Marina said they saw a man who seemed to be a butler.
　The butler must have noticed that Ray had turned his eyes on him. He approached the laymen and bowed deeply.

"Excuse me, sir, but I think it's all the wings of the Red Lotus, but my Lord says he wants to speak a little. If you don't mind, could you give me some time?"

　Ray shakes his head at Marina, who asks what to do.
　When Marina confirms it, she nods softly and opens her mouth.

"I'm sorry, but I'm busy now, too." I'm sorry, but I can't accept the invitation. I don't know what your Lord is, but I'm sorry."

　a flat refusal Marina
　Ray wondered if he would stick to the words a little longer, but the butler had nothing more to say and bowed again and left.

"Well... I thought he'd say something more." Who is my master?"
"I don't think there are many people who do that to Ray now. And I have one, too.

　Even though she quit the guildmaster position, Marina still has a lot of influence in the guild.
　He was also a personal acquaintance of the lord Dusker, and his connections were overwhelmingly superior to those of the nobility.
　Few people would want to antagonize Marina by misbehaving her.
　...however, it is more likely that the aristocrats don't want to fight Ray, who doesn't forgive them at all.
　Furthermore, Vihela also likes to fight, so trouble is welcome.
　Everyone but the same Beune had high combat capabilities, and it was possible that a poor antagonist would literally disappear.

"Well, the problem is that," It's about how to find the man Marina has encountered. If you don't even know the other person's face, it's hard to find them."
"I suppose so," Moreover, his face was so mediocre that his impression of me is very thin even now."
"Then, by any chance, Marina doesn't notice when she meets him?"
"...I won't deny it." But it's true that there's no other clue?"
"Well... can't we ask Azimov, who is in the guard post?"

　With a ray of hope, Ray asks Marina so, but she shakes her head as if to say, "You know what?"

"It's very doubtful whether Azimov actually saw the other person's face. Do you think it's possible that the man who tries to attack someone should not hide his face?"

　That would force Ray to shake his head.
　In the first place, this case was designed to bump Ray against Azot.
　That being the case, I didn't think the person who caused this incident would leave a clue to my identity.
　Of course, he may have planned to kill Azimov, but it is unlikely that he will be a casual person to attack him.

"Well, then, I guess we have no choice but to search steadily as Marina told us."

　Thinking of the future, Ray looks up at the sky.
　The sun was shining there, as if to say Ray's troubles were of no consequence.
　The warm spring sunshine may be ideal for a nap.
　But knowing that I'm going to do the work that's going to be futile makes me feel uncomfortable.
　Oh, I want to take a nap somewhere in the shade...
　I guess it's because I'm thinking about what to do in the future.

"Oh, but... maybe it wouldn't be so troublesome?"

　Marina muttered.
　such words as if one were certain of them

"What do you mean?"

　Before Ray opens his mouth, Vihela asks.
　As a matter of course, listening steadily is not a hobby of Vihela.
　That's probably why Marina said she didn't have to bother her.
　No, it's not just Vihela.
　In fact, Bune, who was not good at talking to people, was looking harder at Marina.

"To put it simply, you told me that this incident was set up by someone who wanted to hit Ray and the Azot trade. Of course, I don't think the contact would end only once."
"In other words, if you wait, you'll come in contact again?"

　Marina nods to Ray's question.

"Perhaps not,"
"Then, do we need to find it? Why don't we just wait in the sun while we're in the middle of the street."...don't you think they're going to show up too much care when they see you slow down?"

　Ray bends his head at Marina's thoughtful remark.
　The person who gave Marina the information probably did so because she didn't want to be hostile to them.
　Then they'll come in contact if they find out they're looking for them.
　Marina shakes her head at Ray, who says so.

"If it's as Ray thinks it is, it said. But if you want to make sure you hit the person who caused this incident with us, I don't think you'll get any more information from now on, since I've already given you the information."
"Do I have to look for it after all right? It's troublesome."
"Well, if possible, I hope the person who planned this case will come out soon."

　If you're going to fight the enemy, Vichela will have no complaints about it, but... it's nothing but trouble to find someone who doesn't even remember his face.
　Vichela herself, though acquainted with Azimov, was not as close as Ray.

"Good job".

　Vichela looked troublesome, but when she was asked to do so when she left the barony street, she was only friendly enough to turn her hand around lightly.
　The person you call to doesn't usually behave like that.
　However, it is already known that Ray is the one who entered the aristocracy, and information has not yet spread as to why Ray did so, but no one wants to oppose Ray today.
　In the first place, it was enough to think that Ray's safe exit from the barony would not be blamed on him in this case.
　It's about how many people can do it if they try to subdue Ray.
　Moreover, besides Ray, there are also extremely aggressive figures such as Seto, Marina and Vihela.
　The least aggressive of the party, Bune, is not to be underestimated in terms of checks and balances with a long hand.
　There is also a white cloud, a dagger made of silver lion material.
　It's called a dagger, but its blade is longer than an ordinary dagger.
　The blow of the white cloud could easily be cut off by a normal opponent... or even by a slightly superior opponent.
　In other words, Bune is not a good match, though he is not a good match.
　With such people passing by, an ordinary adventurer can only say hello briefly.
　Perhaps Ray and his friends know this, but they just nod lightly to the adventurers who have greeted them and leave the barony without further action.

"Well, first of all, shall we go to the main street?"
"I don't know. If they come in contact with us, of course they don't want to see us very much. -- well, it disappears from my memory as soon as I see it."
"Then, is there a place where there are few people... in the alley or that way?"
"I suppose so,"

　Marina nods at Ray's words and the party heads straight down the alley, not the main street.
　Bune rode on Sett's back and looked around as expressionless as ever.
　Marina and Vihela walk down the alley looking around.
　...usually, people who don't know anything get entangled in various parties when they walk down the alley.
　Many will be involved, especially if you have someone like Marina or Vichela who deserves to be called the greatest beauty.
　However, there is no such folly as to make such an impression here.
　As a person living in Guillum, of course I know Ray's existence.
　A lot of adventurers... it's just a guillem of skilled adventurers, so even those called rogue can't attack anyone.
　If the person you're badly involved with is someone you can't touch, it means your own destruction.
　That's why they have a better insight into the other person's abilities than the adventurers around them, and most importantly, there are many famous people who gather here in many ways, so there's no need to check the other person's abilities.

"Excuse me, may I have a momentarily.
"Huh, yes!? What is it?"

　At first glance, he seemed to be a bad match, but if Ray was the one who spoke to him, he wouldn't be able to deal with him as usual.
　Ray was reluctant to show some fear, but now he thinks it's better to gather information.

"Don't you know someone who has an ordinary face and doesn't stand out around here?"
"Huh? No... I'm afraid..."

　That's the man who answered, but...

"Are you looking for me?"

　All of a sudden, that kind of voice echoed through the alley.
