A few days after the Rays went to see Pamidor.
　As decided at the smith's workshop, the Red Lotus wings began to move to put psychological pressure on the Precious, but from the first step they started to shrivel.
　The reason is that we don't know where Pleas is.
　Marina went to the guards and they said she hadn't left Gillum yet, so I'm sure she's still in the city... but I don't know where it is.
　Seth's sense of smell never met him and he couldn't find him by his smell.

"They must know that they are suspected."

　Vihela mutters over a cup of tea in the living room of Marina's mansion in the aristocratic quarter.

"Well, I suppose they were thinking about it very carefully.
"Grull".

　At Marina's words, Seto, who was lying in the courtyard, chants.
　...yes, the Lays, who usually had meetings in the Wheat-tei diner at dusk, were the main reason why they came all the way to Marina's mansion in the aristocratic quarter.
　a set lying in the courtyard bordering the living room
　At the Wheat-tei at dusk, I was basically required to stay in the stable, but that's because the Wheat-tei at dusk... is an inn used by many people.
　"Of course, compared to an ordinary inn, Seto was able to spend much more comfortably."
　However, there is still a limit to the number of inns.
　Since it's a business for customers, we can't afford Ray alone, including Lana, the landlady.
　It was natural, even for Ray, who is staying at the inn every few years.
　If it's a little convenient, they'll do something about it as a customer.
　However, given that it was a business of customers, it was almost impossible for Setto to act freely.
　Wheat Pavilion at dusk is known as one of the finest inns in the guillem.
　The main customers are merchants, but these people basically only stay in Gilm during their stay.
　In comparison, some, like Ray, stayed at the Wheat-tei at dusk for years...or even a dozen years.
　"That's why, unlike other regular customers, they overlook and serve me a lot of things...but I still couldn't do anything about Seto."
　Marina was the one who helped Ray.
　If it's your house, you don't have to worry about it because there's no one else.
　And so... as a result, after the formation of the Red Lotus Wings, it was to be done at Marina's house when the Lays had a meeting.
　Still lying in the garden in the spring sun, Seto is half asleep with Bune leaning on him.
　One of them seems to be getting a little frustrated by the lack of progress on the Precious matter.

(Well, I don't think it's very likely that you'll be annoyed at this sight.)

　Unless you're quite a freak, you won't be able to feel the warmth of what's going on in front of your eyes.
　He was usually a very blunt veneer, but I can't imagine a normal veneer when I see him sleeping against his set.

"Isn't there no choice but to look forward to the informant?"

　Ray muttered, reaching for the size of a cherry -- but a purple patch -- of raw fruit, not dried fruit.
　If you carry the fruit straight into your mouth, the sweetness that gives you a refreshing sour taste will spread through your mouth.
　Sweet fruit was my favorite Ray, but sour fruit also likes Ray.

"Yes, it's delicious. I bought it at a store on my way here, and it was a hit."

　That muttered Ray even seems to have forgotten his anger at having his Azimov damaged and his shoes stolen.
　But it was only now, and Marina and Vihela, who knew Ray well, knew exactly what would happen if they actually ran into the person who planned the case.
　There's still a swirl of anger in Ray.
　It's just that we haven't revealed it now.
　If there was someone to be hostile to right now, that person would never know what he had touched.
　Knowing this, Marina and Vihela speak without worrying about Ray's behavior.

"The fruit of Cruz," Spring is just the season for fruit. ...but sometimes it's a mixture of bitter fruits... as far as Ray's going, he doesn't seem to have a problem. I think the person who picked it up was probably good."

　The fruit Ray eats... reaches out to Cruz, and marina mutters, putting the fruit in her mouth.
　a purple patchy fruit that at first glance is not very much to eat
　However, the fruit was a forested fruit near Gilm, a familiar taste for people living in Gilm.
　Ray, who has mystery rings, is less conscious of seasonal foods that can only be eaten at that time of year.
　Buy or hunt a large amount of seasonal food and put it in a misty ring, and you'll always enjoy the seasonal flavor.
　Gamerion meat is a good example.
　Gamerion's meat, which is an important part of the diet for Ray and Seto, is ready to eat all the time.
　. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
　And even less rare than Gamerion's would be Silver Lion's.
　There were genuinely very limited quantities here, and there should have been no opportunities to eat unless there was much left to do.
　It may also be a problem that the taste is so delicious that the taste is paralyzed for a few days.

"But... I'm free." It hurts that we can't move here until the informant arrives."
"Well, if you get a bad request here, and something goes wrong in the meantime, you might miss it."
"I asked Elena yesterday when we had a conversation in pairs, and she only heard of Speel's business by name."
"Well... Spiel's not that big of a deal, so it might be surprising to know Elena's name."

　It would be a great blessing for the business to remember the name of Duchess Kelebel.
　...but if you think about the impression that Elena had on Spiel Trading when she heard from Ray yesterday, it might be a different story.
　Ray, Marina and Vihela talk for a while, while Bune leans on Seto and snaps in the spring sun.
　Seto lay in the courtyard to prevent such a veneer.
　From the side, many people will envy Bune, but he doesn't seem particularly concerned.

"... Hey, Ray. I don't mind if you just stay relaxed, but why don't you move a little?"

　Just after eating the last one of the Cruz fruits, Vihela asks as if she had been waiting for it.

"Huh? What about your body? ... well, I don't mind. but in moderation."

　Vichela looked a little disappointed at Ray's words.
　Still, I head out of the window to the courtyard, wondering if I'm going to miss the chance to play a mock battle with Ray.
　The windows connecting the living room and the courtyard are quite large glass windows.
　It's worth a few white gold coins if you're not good at it.
　Given the usual use of such windowpanes, Marina's mansion is probably a small but aristocratic one.

(I heard that it was strengthened by spirit magic...isn't it too convenient?)

　Thinking this way, Ray also goes out into the courtyard chasing Vihela.
　And they face each other after they are far enough away from each other so that they don't get in the way of Seto and Bune, who are enjoying sunbathing.
　However, as Ray said earlier, Ray is not serious about each other, so what he has in his hand is a mock war spear with a crushed ear tip, and Vihela has not produced a magical blade in his back or instep.

"You don't do too much," Stop the mock war as soon as I stop it. -- now, let's get started!"

　From the living room, a marina with tea in her hand signals the start.
　The voice was a bit dumbfounded, but when Ray and Vichela hear it, they start to move without showing any sign of concern.
　The first thing that moved was Vihela.
　Compared to Ray, who has a spear in his hand, Vihela, who fights in a fight, inevitably has a smaller range of attack.
　And he needed to take the initiative to kill the spear in Ray's hand.

"Huh!"

　Kick the ground in the garden and close the gap with Ray at once.
　Ray wields his spear to counter such a Vihela.
　... yeah. Shake it.
　Sharpen the attack with a wider range, rather than with spears.
　Vichela must have anticipated such an attack on Ray. He avoids the blow of a spear that is slashed sideways at his shoulder, lightly sinking his upper body, and closes the gap with Ray.Vichela's fist sticks out as soon as it's a good time to call it close range.
　The target is Ray's face, which is wearing a dragon lobe hood.
　Dragon robes have strong defenses, but they still can't kill the impact of the blow.
　Nevertheless, the reason why the attack was aimed at the face rather than at the wide fuselage is probably because of the desire to launch a more powerful attack.
　But considering Vihela's skill, targeting a face smaller than the torso is not a big problem.
　Viehla's hand has the back of her hand, though it could be called a woman's slender arm.
　Contrary to their appearance, they are also quite strong.
　Above all, there is a magic palm that can inflict great damage on the enemy if hit almost independently of their physical strength.
　...however, this mock game is nothing but a mock game of physical exercise.
　Naturally, Vihela didn't think about the use of the magician's hand, and the blow aimed at Ray's face was probably proof of that.
　Ray avoids Vihela's fist, which approaches her face, by slightly moving her back.
　Vihela's fist penetrating the space right next to Ray's face.
　Even if it's a mock battle, the blow is powerful enough for an ordinary person to lose consciousness by itself.
　But Ray dodges such a blow and spears under Vihela.
　When most people are attacking, they concentrate on it and become weak in their defense.
　What's more, Ray's blow came from outside Vihela's view.
　Under normal circumstances, I would fall to the ground with my feet thrown away, without a doubt of course.Vihela bounced lightly to avoid a spear blow.
　He may have read Ray's movements, but he may have moved half instinctively at the sound of his spear cutting through the air.

"Huh!"

　After a light leap, Vichela kicks in the air.
　Even if it's a light leap, there's no doubt that you're in the air.
　In other words, the body is floating in the air even for a moment.
　Vichela is currently dealing with Ray, though no one would normally have such a momentary chance.
　In fact, if Vihela had kicked even for a second, Ray's spear would have been wielded.
　Vichela's quick kick stops Ray from moving.
　Once away from Ray with a kick, Vihela stepped forward again.
　Ray waiting for it with a spear in his hand.
　Shoot a thrust at Vihela, who is thrusting at her, using her twist.
　a stroke of the right speed to call it a blow from a blow
　But Vihela avoids Ray's thrust by de-stamping her right knee and deliberately losing her balance.
　That was not enough, but he still tries to come forward and give Ray a blow and is confident of victory.
　but in the next moment Ray's spear, which turned from thrust to brush, approached Vihela...

"That's it!"

　When Marina's voice sounded, Ray's spear stopped just before hitting Vichela's body, while Vichela's blow did not reach him and the mock battle ended.
