Kena has a complex look on her face as she looks at Giffnan caught in front of her.
　It's only natural that he sold out Giffnan because he wanted to save himself.
　Still, since I wanted to live rather than die, I feel bad but I have no regrets.
　And it was largely decided that he could survive.

"Now don't blame Plessus,"
"Don't be silly! I've made my own judgment on this matter! It doesn't matter to you, Mr. Precious!"

　Giffnan screams while being held back by security guards, but Ray even smiles at such opponents.

"The boss has to take responsibility for what his men have done. The man in charge is there to take responsibility."
"Hey! You!"

　I know Ray is overwhelmingly stronger than me because of his murderous energy.
　Still, Giffnan could not have seen his benefactor, Precious, go to ruin.

"What are you angry about? This wouldn't have happened without Precious touching Tris in the first place. I think it's only natural for him to get angry at you."

　Even though he hired him after coming to Gilm, his men have been killed.
　Also, it's hard to hide that a horse-drawn carriage is rushing into the store.
　Tris's appointment as Gillum's branch was a result of Tris' previous activities.
　Of course, there are actually many races within the Spiel Trading Company, and I think it was because Tris won the prestige that he was entrusted with this matter...
　Anyway, Tris is the only one to blame for this case.
　What's more, for Ray, Azimov, and Azot merchants involved in it, it's safe to say it's completely outright.
　That being the case, Ray had no intention of relenting the prestige.

"I told you that if I should follow you with me, it would do you good!"
"Well, now that I've had the chance to make amends for my sins, I think it's good for you."
"Phew ... don't be silly!"

　a soulful cry
　But there's nothing for today's Giffnan to do with such a cry like that.
　I even want to hit Ray, but he's completely under control of the guards.

"Now it is decided that Precious is involved in a series of incidents." Then we'll come and pick him up."
"...wait for me." The security forces are also involved in this case. I'll send you out, so go with him."

　Normally, the guards alone would have wanted to go to arrest him, but Marina's document states that the settlement of this case should be left to Rey, so I can't tell her not to go.
　All the guards could do was go with the Ray's and be careful not to overdo it.
　...that Ray was relentless to his adversaries was the greatest compromise, as every guard knows.

"Well, then, I'll be heading to the hotel where the Precious is staying right away, and you'll have to get some people there." Ah... I don't have to be alone."

　The reason he said something to compromise was probably because he remembered that there were quite a few of his men and guards.
　If it's just a dress, it's just the laymen who can do anything.
　However, the larger the number, the greater the number of people fleeing.
　It was out of that judgment that all we had to do was bring in more guards from the beginning.

"All right, I'll get ready right away. -- make sure he doesn't do strange things."

　I guess he's the most senior of the guards here. The other guards immediately take action when they ask Ray to accompany them.

"Don't mess with me! Nothing wrong with Mr. Pressure, it's all Tris' fault! Shit, let go! Hey, you're listening, Ray!"

　Giffnan, who is being pulled, screams, but Ray no longer seems to listen to the voice.

"And then, Ray," Can I go with you this time?"
"Oh, now that you have captured Giffnan, you don't want to harm Kenna any more. I don't think that's the time for them to do that now."
"I suppose so," I think it's true that my bodyguard has been taken away, and that's not the case."

　Vihela interrupts Marina and Ray's conversation.
　Kenna looks a little uneasy when she hears it.
　It was the first time I had ever been on the side of being targeted, regardless of whether I was aiming as an assassin.
　For better or worse, Kena was reasonably famous as a skillful assassin.
　He also had a good intuition, and although he did not act like he would reveal his true identity if he failed to assassinate him... now he is showing himself up like this.
　However, it is safer than being in the city, as long as it is a cell in the back of the guard station.

(That's right, isn't it?) There are not many safer places than here.)

　Looking at the iron bars in front of her, and at the temperature of her cell, which is safe and easy to spend, Kena finally turns to what she calls a symbol of her fear.
　When it comes to safety, it's definitely the safest thing to be on Ray's side.
　Even if you were going to be on the side of Ray, who was likely to want to kill you, there would be no safer place for you to protect yourself.

(though that's on the premise that I'm not afraid of Ray.)

　At that point, Kena's option of already being on Ray's side disappears.
　The final conclusion was that it would still be the safest to stay in this cell.
　While Kenna is thinking about her safety, the Rays leave the celled room.

"Kenna, please be patient here a little longer. I think it'll be all right for a while, for we'll adjust the temperature and so on."

　Marina left it with a smile.
　All Kanea could do was wave her hand lightly to see it off.





　Leaving the guard post, Ray joins Seto, who was lying outside, for his destination.
　Apart from Ray and other members of the Red Lotus wing, there are about twenty guards.
　. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
　There's Seto, there's Vihela. That alone stands out overwhelmingly from the guards.
　Ray is still less conspicuous than Seto or Vihela when he is wearing a dragon lobe hood.
　When I take off my hood, I often attract the attention of others with her face.
　With the attention of the people around them, Ray and his team move on... and eventually arrive at the inn where Precious is staying.

"All go away. If you run away from the inn, catch him without any questions and answers."

　When the superior guard orders the other guards to follow the Rays, the other guards disperse one after another.
　It's arranged to surround the inn, and if you try to jump out of the window and escape, you'll soon find it.
　When he surrounds the inn completely, the guard who gives the order nods to Ray.

"Very well,"
"All right, then... shall we go?" Oh, Seto. If anyone escapes from the inn, help me catch him. Don't kill me.""Grull".

　At Ray's words, Seto purrs happily.
　Catching someone fleeing is not even a job for Seto, but rather a game.
　Gryphon's... well, that's natural, given the power of Seto.
　Then Ray, Marina, Vihela, Bune and the guards enter the inn.
　The hotel staff must have noticed what was going on outside.
　The employee who responded to Ray's visit to this inn a while ago asks Ray.

"What is this all about?"

　It's not that this employee doesn't feel anything considering the current state of the inn.
　Still, as an employee of this inn, I had to stand firm.
　It wasn't Ray... it was the man who had led the guards who spoke to such an employee.

"Is there a merchant named Pressure staying at this inn? He caused a little trouble. I'd like to hear a few words, so please let me know."

　Being an employee of an inn in Gilm, we have no choice but to obey the guards if they tell us this.
　But... the man at the guard's word shakes his head.
　Will you refuse? Ray thought so for a moment, but the words spoken by the employees exceeded expectations of those who knew the situation.

"If it were Mr. Precious, I would have left the inn."
"What?"

　Not only Ray, but everyone listening to him speaks out together.
　There's a voice around me that sounds kind of stupid...
　Marina was the first to come back to life after hearing such an unexpected answer.

"I didn't think you'd abandon Giffnan so easily. I suppose you've decided there's nothing you can do now that you've been taken to Ray."
"But don't you remember the face of the guard?"
"...there may be another way." Also, even if you leave the inn, it doesn't mean you leave the guillem. It's quite possible that he's hiding somewhere else."

　In Marina's words, it was no wonder a slum passed Ray's mind.
　It won't be hard to find if the Precious is fleeing somewhere you can see.
　But it's hard to figure it out when you get into a slum.
　Of course, slums are slums, with their own order and information networks.
　It might be possible to find the prestige, but the problem would be that Ray doesn't have a clue about it.
　The same goes for Vihela and Bune, and Marina, who was a former guildmaster, had no communication with the slums.
　On the other hand, there are secret communications in a way that is not obvious, but it is only in the guild master position, and it cannot be used by today's marina who has quit the guild master position.

"Oh!? Sorry, Ray. We'll go first. Maybe we can find the prestige before we go into the slums. And I can't do it this way, considering the possibility of being somewhere outside of the slums."

　The man in command of the guard shouts, and tells the other guard to check the room used by the guard before leaving the inn.
　Employees of the inn can't help but look into the room used by the dresser if requested to do so by the security guard, so they guide him calmly.

"Ray, what are we going to do?"

　At Vihela's words, Ray thinks about what to do from now on... and immediately comes to a conclusion.

"If Precious had escaped to the slums... or anywhere else, he wouldn't have taken the carriage with him, would he?
"Well, if you were driving down the slums in a carriage, you'd stand out quite a bit, and above all, you wouldn't be able to escape on a road where you couldn't get a carriage anywhere."

　There are not many roads in the slums that are naturally accessible by carriage.
　That being the case, it's almost impossible for Prescius, who is being chased by guards, to flee with a carriage.
　In other words, it was certain that the inn still had a carriage used by Precious.
　If this was the originally planned runaway, they would have had the option of disposing of the carriage to fund the runaway.
　However, Precious's escape was a sudden occurrence of Giffnan's arrest.
　As long as he remembers to be caught, the most important thing for the presumption that he will be caught is time, and he won't try to sell a carriage and get money.
　And Ray has a good olfactory companion called Seto.

(I'd like to use my personal belongings in the room to get rid of the smell, if possible, but the guards will need to investigate various things, and I don't think it's possible to take them out.)

　Without a carriage, I would have taken some pains to rent the room that Precious had used.
　But as long as there was a horse-drawn carriage, there was no need to go that far.
　unless Sett could catch the stink in the carriage.
　After deciding so, Ray demanded that the hotel staff guide him to the carriage used by Precious.
