"Hey, pack this material over there! I can't put it into this cave any more!"
"Wait a minute, we're quite full, too. If possible, please go somewhere else."
"Don't be silly. If it's a mountain or a forest, it's a forest, you know, but it's not such a place where there are many caves!'
"Well, you'll be the first to pick up that stone, and you'll be ready to get it said.
"Captain, this is the damage done in this battle."
"...what a nuisance, after all." Will the damage on my part be reasonable? When will the replenishment come?"
"I don't know," In the first place, it is dangerous if we are found to be acting around Gilm. If so, it will be difficult to send reinforcements so easily."
"Then, what do you do? If things go on like this, our war potential will be exhausted faster than expected."
"Yes, sir," Why don't you hire a real thief?"
"What? There are only so many of them."
"That's why," We will carry out our duties, having them undertake the damage."
"Well, that merchant should have handed over the materials quietly. I'll certainly hold my breath the next time I see you."
"Don't be too much, please." We are supposed to be bandits."

　a very remote part of the forest
　Now Ray and Bune were listening to what was being heard there.
　This kind of work is supposed to be done by Bune, but unfortunately Bune is not cut out for this kind of work.
　No, I'm not so pessimistic if I look at my ability alone, but it's right that my ability to communicate information is limited.
　Therefore, Ray, who is not bad at this kind of covert behavior, sneaked into the enemy's hideout with Bune to gather information...

(He wasn't just a thief, after all.)

　The conversation that I could hear was a word that bothered me in many ways: captain, replenishment, upper, reinforcements, mission.
　Still, Ray was only a little relieved when it turned out that the attacked merchant had not joined forces with him.
　A merchant who thinks of an adventurer as a disposable hand piece can be described as dangerous in many ways.
　Moreover, it was dangerous for Gillum to be involved in the extension, if he were a merchant who had joined forces with the lord of the manor, Dusker.

(Well, I don't think there are any tradesmen who have the influence of other factions, let alone this case.)

　Merchants will do anything to their advantage.
　However, everything depends on the merchant.
　It depends greatly on the person's ethics, business sense, and so on.
　Therefore, it was only natural for merchants who were engaged in business in Guilm to have friendly relations with the nobles other than Dusker... with the royalists and the nobles.

(I can't, however, just talk about it that much. I don't know who's behind them, but it's not a question of wait-and-see or anything like that, but an attack.)

　The robbers...or, judging from what they're talking about, they're actually private armies sent by some nobleman, merchant, or other power.
　If you were acting like you were attacking merchants and stealing materials, you would have been beyond what you could forgive with a great laugh.

(Well, that's just my judgment. I don't know what judgment Mr. Dusker would make if he knew this.)

　Dusker is a neutral...the central figure in what is said to be one of the three major factions in the kingdom of Milliana.
　Such forces alone will naturally lead to many opponents.
　However, if they act badly here, they could provoke the aristocracy and the royal faction.
　Even though it is one of the three major factions, the neutrality itself is considerably smaller than that of the royal and aristocratic factions.
　A poor move could have stimulated the two factions.
　The aristocracy is friendly because of Ray's relationship with Elena, but the factions are not supposed to bring their personal friendship into the inter-factional relationship.
　With that in mind, you must have thought the reconnaissance was enough. Bune tugs at the dragon lobe.
　Ray nods softly to Bune and walks down from his hiding place, keeping him from being seen.

(Huh? If Bune couldn't convey his intentions to others, wouldn't he have to come? That's just me...)

　While moving through the forest, I think about it while looking at the veneer, but as an adviser, I immediately change my mind to see if there was any problem.
　Moving through the forest, you will see the grasslands outside in about ten minutes.
　It was probably because of Ray's presence that we were able to travel at speeds that would otherwise be unthinkable speed.
　Ray runs at the front to tell you where the bushes are, where the branches are in the way, and where the roots of the trees are, and so on.
　It was possible to move quickly just by following Ray.
　When you get out of the forest, you go straight to a tree a little further away.

"Oh, it was quite early, wasn't it? Are you ready?"

　Marina appears from behind the tree with such a voice.
　A short distance away, you can also see Vihela stroking her set.
　Marina's tone only surprised that Ray and Bune were coming back so quickly, but she didn't seem to feel uneasy about being found.
　It was because I knew that Ray's skill would never be found by the thieves.
　That's right, it shows that Ray and Bune are here safe and sound.
　Ray understands Marina's idea, so he doesn't get particularly angry.

"Oh, I guess I've got a bad feeling right. ... he's not just a thief. It's like a private army group sent from some kind of course.

　Ray spoke with a private army group, but when he heard the conversation, he had an image of a special force.k.a. special force.

"Yes,"

　Marina doesn't look particularly surprised at Ray's words.
　No, I could have said I understood.
　There were various suspicious things about this action of attacking merchants who were originally carrying materials... even close to Gilm.
　If someone's private army conspired to do this, there are many things that would make sense.
　Having thought so, I'll just give a brief answer to Ray's report.
　Unlike Marina, who seemed convinced, Vihela smirks amusingly as she caresses Seto while listening to Bune's story.
　thieves and private armies
　When asked which one is more responsive, you would normally think of the latter.
　Of course, there will be strong opponents among thieves, and weak opponents among private armies.
　However, given the fact that they are such a private group of soldiers, it is almost certain that they are strong opponents.
　Therefore, Vihela's eyes are filled with desire for battle.
　I wish I could fight a strong opponent.

"Oh, look, Vihela. Calm down. This time's request is just to get the materials back, and that's the top priority."
"...I know,"

　Nevertheless, Vihela's gaze is directed toward the depths of the forest.
　Vichela was reasonably satisfied with the Trent forest incident, but has not experienced any major battles since then.
　People who have just arrived in Gilm and know nothing about the situation thought of trying to win over Vihela, which sometimes led to a battle, but not many of them can manage it against the current Vihela.
　As a result, such people were easily knocked unconscious and fell to the ground.
　For Vichela, the private armies operating in the frontier were very interesting."Let's go faster than that," If you just waste your time like this, there's a chance that you can get away with it."
"No, I don't think so,"

　It's when we realize that we're in danger when we run away with so much material.
　If they knew they were nearby, they wouldn't have to run away unless they were known to existent.

"Do you have any proof?"
"Oh, my God! He said something like he wanted auxiliaries to come. You mean, of course, that there is still work to be done here, don'
"... well, I suppose so,"

　Vichela may have come to terms with Ray's words. nod one's head in disapproval

(Waiting for reinforcements means they could easily withdraw without them... well, I don't have to say that.)

　If you say so, Vihela could rush into the enemy with joy.
　With that in mind, I report the information I've overheard in the hideout over there.
　Marina was at a loss whether to be angry or complimented when she heard that a group of private soldiers broke into the hideout rather than just outside the hideoutside the hideout.
　I'm glad that Ray and Bune have that much ability, but I wonder if we need to go that far in this situation. That's why I felt that way.
　Of course, it would be better if I had any information...
　In the end, Marina only let out a small sigh, but she didn't blame Ray any more.

"I understand what you mean," Then I'd like to hit them right away, but... it's hard to find this place in the woods. If I can escape, I'll have trouble finding it."

　Marina mutters, looking at the forest in which they are hiding.
　Some trees grow in the forest, unlike Trent's, and others are thin.
　But even with that thick tree, it would be best to hide one person.
　Even under such circumstances, forests are still the best place to escape.
　Especially if it were an elite force that could be tasked with intruding into the territory of a hostile opponent and carrying out an attack.

"You're... Set, can I ask you?"
"Glu?"

　At Marina's words, Seto, still stroked by expressionless veneers, screams.

"Seto is waiting over this forest, and if anyone escapes, secure as much as you can. --couldn't Seto secure or knock them down in all directions if he said.
"Grull!"

　Let Rey say, "Leave it to me!" Set.
　...however, lying on the ground and stroking by Bune, it was not quite as powerful.

"Well, then we've decided," Then shall we go? I want to eat dinner in guillem."
"I wonder what I had eaten at the Wheat-tei at dusk before I came here."

　Viehla muttered a little dumbfounded, but Ray pretended not to hear it and turned his gaze to the forest... the enemy's hideout.
　Vichela, who changed from dumbfounded to a little smile, and Marina each changed their minds.
　Vihela checks the back of her hand and Marina checks the bow.
　Bune had also seen his weapon... a white blade made of silver lion.
　Seeing these three, Ray somehow takes the twilight spear out of the mistling... after a moment's reflection he puts it back into the mistling and takes out another spear.
　a spear with a dark green color from the tip of the ear to the whole thing
　Ray has no taste in collecting works of art or art, though he was a spear of such beauty as art.
　This spear was also a good practical use.

"Oh, you use a thorn spear? That's unusual."

　Marina muttered a little startled when she saw Ray's dark green spear.
　This spear was originally given to Ray by Marina as a reward for his request.
　That's probably why Marina was concerned.

"It's in the woods," Death size is difficult to use in many ways, and the spear in twilight is too aggressive. In comparison, this thorn's spear is superior to the spear of twilight in capturing his opponent."
"...the one who is caught must be pretty miserable."

　Ray nods to Marina's sympathetic words.
　As the name suggests, a thorn comes out from the point of the ear, and it winds around the object.
　There was no doubt that it would have been a little radical to call it.
