The staff at the inn took the laymen to a carriage stop and immediately returned to the inn.
　Even if it's just a fancy room, the security guard's investigation needs to calm down and explain the situation to the other guests staying at the hotel.
　I guess that's what it means that we can't afford to care about the laymen in a situation where we don't have enough resources to do we?
　But if the Lays were in any way out of the way, they wouldn't have pretended to leave them alone until they had thoroughly examined the carriage.
　Employees allowed it only because Marina, who had been guildmaster until recently, was among the Lays, and Ray had some credibility as a notorious adventurer.
　Anyway, after confirming the employee is gone, Ray calls out Seto looking around interestingly.

"Set, this carriage," Can you distinguish the smell of the dress?"
"Grull... Grull!"

　Seto purrs after leaning into the carriage and checking the smell.
　There's a feeling that it's okay.
　When Ray sees such a set, he breathes relief.

"Well, can you chase me?" --and we'll go after the dress at once."
"Ray, don't you have to tell the guard?"

　Vihela, watching Ray and Seto communicate, asks, but Ray shakes his head.

"They're moving over there, and we'd better move over here." Besides, if you move with the others, you're likely to get stuck."

　With the wings of the red lotus, we can understand each other's interaction, if not complete, because we have spent the winter together and trained in battle.
　But if they were there -- in a combative sense -- they could slow down their response in case of emergency.
　Vihela probably understands that. I had nothing more to say than just in case.

"Well, shall we go?" ...set, don't ask me."
"Grull!"

　When Seth exclaims joyfully at Ray's words, she leaves what she calls a hangar.
　There are several horse-drawn carts around, each slightly different.
　Ray found something interesting about the area, but now he had better catch up with the posh.

(Let me see it later in the hangar of Wheat-tei at dusk.)

　The Dusk Wheat-tei, the luxury accommodation where the Rays are staying, has a hangar for horse-drawn cabs, as long as it is naturally used by many merchants and adventurers.
　In the first place, the stable where Seto is usually located is also the stable for the horse that pulls the carriage.
　...but lately, thanks to Ray, who is a regular lodger in the Wheat-tei at dusk, Sett has been treated like the owner of the stable.
　At any rate, Ray and his colleagues decide that if they are concerned about the carriage, they can later look at the Wheat-tei at dusk, and move on to chasing Precious.
　Seth, who had been sniffing near the entrance to the inn, would eventually distinguish the smell from the air. walk away without showing any signs of hesitation
　The Rays then follow Sett.
　The guards looked at them with mixed eyes, but they ignored them without a trace of concern.
　In addition, the guards who were scattered around the inn at first had already gathered in the inn to check the room used by the prestige, and to ask other guests for information.
　Some were checking the cab after they had come out.

(Well, do your best. We'll be free to move at that moment.)

　Looking at the inn behind him, Ray follows Sett.
　And walk for a while...

"Oh, this is a slum,"

　The first thing I noticed was, of course, Marina, who had lived in the guillem the longest.
　You probably understood that the slums were in the direction of Seto.
　It's a different path, however, than when the Ray's used to go to the slums.
　I guess that's what Precious is thinking about, trying to distract his pursuers even a little.

"If it's a slum, it's impossible to escape Sett's nose, even if he's outside of Gillum."

　Ray, who has great faith in Seto's sense of smell, mutters proudly.
　He reached out to caress Seto, but withdrew his hand to prevent him from interfering with the smell.
　In fact, Ray's trust in Seto so far is largely due to Seto's proven track record with his sense of smell.
　The level of increased olfaction is still four, and it hasn't reached level five, where skills are greatly enhanced.
　However, his original sense of smell as a glyphon was so sharp that he was able to perform well.

"Well, I wonder how far Plessure is going to run away." Now that Giffnan has been caught, I can't get away with it. If that's the case, it's over when I get caught..."
"Really? You saw Ray take Giffnan and you cut him off right away, didn't you? So you might be trying to claim that he made his own judgment in this case?"

　Vichela tells Marina so, but Marina shakes her head as she hears it.

"Vihela, too, can't you tell if she's a former princess? The boss is also responsible for the blunder of her men. What's more, Giffnan isn't an adventurer with the Spiel Chamber, but an adventurer whom Precious had privately hired, so you can't escape that responsibility."
"... Hmmm. It's a lot of course.

　During the conversation, Sett successfully pursues the smell of prestige, and eventually the Rays and their party go into the slum.

"Well, it should be about time we caught up with you... and that's why you came out, isn't it?"

　Going into the slums, about ten minutes... Ray takes the spear of Death Size and twilight out of the Mistilling, Marina puts an arrow to the bow, Vichela puts on a fighting posture, and Bune puts on a white cloud.
　Those who appeared before the party were the familiar faces of the Lays... yes, the bodyguards of the Precious.

"...that we should get here so quickly. I'd be happy if you could leave like this, but you wouldn't have asked me to do so. But I can't let you through here."

　He must be the leader in the bodyguard. A man in his thirties muttered with a long sword in his hand in hand.
　What comes to mind is a bitter expression.
　We don't think we'll be able to fight and beat the Rays.
　But we still need to make time here to help Precious.

(Well, I don't know how much distance Mr. Pressure can get away with it, even if we make time here.)

　After Giffnan was taken by Ray, Precious decided to leave the inn after some hesitation.
　It was such a slum, but I never expected Ray to come after them so soon.
　It worked that the laymen had promised some of the slums... that they would tell me when anyone with a glyphon came along.
　Still, the guards standing in front of Ray are close to standing by somehow suppressing the fear inside themselves.

"That they stand in front of us means that Precious is aware that he is guilty." The more you get in the way of catching him, the more serious he will be."
"...I can't say yes or no when you say so." I'm afraid."

　The man screams with his arms firmly pressed so that the dagger in his hand won't shake.

"Well, then, shall I do my part accordingly?"

　Nevertheless, Ray had no intention of killing those in front of him.
　No, after all, I know that I will never win, and then I try to fight myself for the sake of prestige.
　The loyalty was favorable in Ray's eyes.
　...though that wasn't nice enough to go out with it.
　I like the presence of those in front of me, but I don't have the option of missing the prestige here.

"Well... shall we go?"

　The words signal the start of the war, and the Red Lotus wings launch an attack.
　Ray steps forward, holding his death-size and twilight spear.
　The distance between them and the leader of the bodyguards shrinks, and the moment they swing their long sword, they leap to avoid the blow.
　At the same time, he activated Slapnil's shoes and landed behind the man kicking through the air.Shake a death-size handle and mow off a man's legs.
　He never changed his turn, but struck the man who was about to fall to the ground with his spear handle in twilight.
　In itself, the man blows a few meters to the side, hits the building, and falls to the ground.
　He was completely knocked unconscious by the impact of a back-to-back wall, which was only natural given the difference in ability between Ray and the man.
　Confirming that he has taken consciousness but not life, Ray turns to other battles.
　Vihela dances and knocks down about three guards, while Marina uses the magic of spirits to keep her in check.k.a. bow.
　Bune was struggling a little even though he had a white cloud, but he eventually threw a transparent long hand to create a gap, and buried a blow from the handle of the white cloud in the dove tail to capture consciousness.
　In Seto, too, he easily lost consciousness by taking one blow at a time when he tried not to kill his opponent.
　It took less than three minutes for all the fighting to end.
　The longest fighting was, after all, the weakest of the Red Lotus wings.

"Yes, I didn't kill them all," Well, then, set. Do you want to go after the prestige again? They don't think they'll be able to manage us with this strength, do they? If that's the case, perhaps he's already escaped."
"Given the fighting time, I doubt how far we can escape in that short time. If it were a horse, it would be a different story, but the horse-drawn carriage and so on remained at the inn."

　Viehla's words make Bune nod.
　Ray and Marina agreed, but there is no denying that they have some means of escape.
　Then it would be a good idea to catch them quickly before they act badly.

"Grull!"

　Then let's go! Seth purrs along the slum.
　Then the lays disappeared... and eventually they decided it was safe here. Slum dwellers show up to rob unconscious bodyguards of weapons, armour, clothes... and, if they have them, gold and jewels.
　and he approached the unconscious men."

"Hey,"

　He's unconscious... no, the man who should have been there opens his mouth and the slum dwellers stop moving.
　Residents of the slums misunderstood that the guards of the Precious were originally skilled, even though they were flatly rejected by the Red Lotus wings.
　I can only say that the reason I'm going through this is purely because I'm in bad company.
　Also, having lost like that, he wasn't injured much, and he was still physically... he had at least enough left to fight against those in front of him.
　The inhabitants of the slum stopped their movement in spite of the men's voices, and when they understood the difference in their abilities, they left.
　As he watched it, he wondered what to do... what to do after Precious had been captured.





"Grull!"

　Seto runs in the slums with a purring.
　The speed is clearly faster than when you're outside the slums.
　That's probably proof that the distance to the presumption is getting closer.
　The Lays, then led by Sett, suddenly stopped in front of a building -- but rather old.

"Here?"
"Glu".

　At Ray's brief remark, Seto similarly bleeds.
　When they saw Seto, who was sure to cry, they didn't pretend to be suspiciousness.

"Here we go,"
"Yes,"

　Ray and Vihela exchange brief words and Marina and Bune nod silently.
　Seto can't get in, so he's naturally watching outside the building to see if the prestige escapes.
　Then when the Rays enter the building... unexpectedly, the Precious welcomes them with some calmness.
　Considering the circumstances behind his escape from the inn, the sofa on which he was sitting was probably not something he had brought, but something he had originally found here.

"I'm surprised. I thought they'd already run away when I sent the guards over here."
"...I'm sorry, but I don't think I'll be able to escape from Ray alone."

　Thus, realizing that he couldn't escape, Pless was captured in the end without resistance.
