Two days after the mine collapsed... Ray was in the city of Java, the center of the Earl of Leldakt.
　To be precise, it is right to be in the forest a little further from Java.
　Apart from Ray and Seto, there are other rebel figures there.

"Well, we're in town. You mean we're going to start at night, won't you?"

　The man who tells me so... Ray nods to the man leading the rebel army.

"Oh, so be it," Normally, I should be able to get in the city with you, right?
"Glu".

　Ray's words make Seto cry apologetically.
　Gryphons of about three meters in length stand out as a matter of course.
　If Ray, accompanied by such monsters, tried to enter the Jawa, it was naturally a story of who it was, and it was likely that Leldakt would be able to make sense.
　And when it comes to the man with the Gryphon, it goes without saying that he is an aristocratic Lerdact.
　...yes, the strongest blade of Dasker, the neutral figure, is the crimson Ray.
　Moreover, Leldakt is guilty of sending private soldiers to block Dusker's plans to build an additional guillem.
　If Ray found out in such a situation that he had come to the city where he ruled, what would that mean... not to mention it.
　It is no different for Ray and the rebels to fight with Leldakt's men in the streets of Jawa before they launch an attack.
　The result was that Ray and Sett would wait outside the Java for night.
　Seeing off the rebel man, Ray puts his weight on Seto, who lies down in the woods.

"Glu".

　At such a Ray, Seto was rubbing his face against his throat happily.

"Come to think of it, it feels like it's been a long time since I spent such a slow time with you."
"Grull".

　At Ray's words, Seto rubs his face against him as he sings.
　In fact, I spend a lot of time with Seto outside the magic tent when I camp, but I rarely spend time with Seto during the day like this these days.
　That must have been a joy for Seto.
　The branches of a tree growing in the forest dampen some of the intense sunlight, creating a scene worthy of being called a tree leak.
　It's supposed to be summer, so it's hot, and even in the forest you'll sweat.
　Moreover, it is difficult to stand the heat if you lean on a soft-haired set.
　But in Ray's case, there is a dragon lobe, which can be called a lightweight air conditioner.
　Whether it was summer or winter... or midsummer or midwinter, I was able to spend my time outside regardless of whatsoever.

"Here, Seto. Do you want this?"

　Ray took out a whole mountain bird from Mistilling, which he bought at Gilm's restaurant.
　The mountain bird, which is slightly smaller than a chicken, is a carefully baked object packed with a variety of vegetables.
　If cooked for a long time, vegetables packed in mountain birds will have less meat flavor, which also means less meat flavor.
　However, the meat of the mountain bird on the plate served in front of the seto is delicious enough.

(The texture of the meat is not crispy, and it's moist, too.) However, the vegetables inside are well seasoned. ...how did you cook it?)

　Ray shakes his head, sharing the food with Seto and tasting it himself.
　Ray spread dishes such as udon, okonomiyaki, meat buns and pizza with guillem and emoticons, but he is not familiar with the dishes themselves.
　I only explained it based on the knowledge I had gained while I was in Japan, and the explanation was often poor, and it was safe to say that the food Ray taught was completed through a lot of trial and error on the part of the chef.
　Since Ray was like that, I didn't know how to cook the food in front of me.

"But all I know is... it's delicious."
"Gruly!"

　Set calls in agreement with Ray's words and moves the plate further toward him with his forefeet.
　Mountain birds are only about the size of chickens, so Ray ended up taking about two more of the same dishes out of the mistling.





　The sound of insects echoes through the forest.
　the sound of insects as loud as it could be described
　Ray wakes up in the dark surroundings and the moon half-hidden by clouds.

"Glu?"

　Maybe she noticed Ray woke up, instead of the sofa... or even the bed, Seto, who was also half asleep, moved his face from the situation where he was watching out for him.

"Whoa... well, Set. Thank you. It was easy to fall asleep."
"Grull".

　She caresses Seth appreciatively, while Seth, who is caressed, graces her pleasantly.
　Basically, when I woke up, my brain would not work for a while, but this is only in cases where I could sleep peacefully like an inn.
　We were able to wake up and move quickly in what we now call enemy territory.

"As expected, Seto's body is perfect for sleeping."
"Grull!"

　At Ray's compliment, Seto exclaims proudly.
　In fact, Seto's body has soft hair, and his body is incredibly soft and flexible considering his physical strength.
　If you don't take into account the heat of being buried in Seto's hair in summer, you'll get a very comfortable sleep.
　...the heat would normally be beyond control.

(Oh, but Mile Dogs and Johanna might be glad to say that they could sleep with Sett in the summer.)

　Thinking this way, he pulls a flowing dagger out of the mistling, and lightly prepares himself with water produced by Ray's magic, refreshing his mind.
　I took a nap for a few hours, but it was still refreshing in his mind.

"... All right, then, shall we go now?" They must be tired of waiting in the Java."
"Grull".

　Seto grunts and agrees with the remark.
　Talk of an attack at night has been made in advance, but no definite time has been set.
　No, even if you decide on a definite time in the first place, the rebels have no way of knowing it, let alone Ray, who has a clock.
　If it were during the day, the bell would ring at six, nine, twelve, fifteen, eighteen, and so on, but it was only during the day.
　Since it's already dark around, the bell won't ring.
　Then we had to decide in advance how long it would run, and then move accordingly.

"I wish the clocks were a little more common,"
"Glu?"

　To the muttering Ray, Sett asks with a slight tilt of his head.
　Then, shaking his head as if nothing had happened, Ray immediately.
　Get out of the forest and ride a set to Jawa.
　It's the size of a town, let alone the stronghold of Leldakt.
　Of course there would be boundaries, but... if it were a remote guillem, it would not be that there were no vicious monsters here, but it was too few to be compared to the remote areas.
　Boundaries require a lot of money to lay down.
　It would be difficult to do with properties in the Earl of Reldakt if it were to prevent monsters from entering the sky like Gilm.
　It's not impossible, but it makes much of the property disappear.
　What's more, if you ask me if that boundary will help... that's another subtle point.

(Is it like building a nuclear shelter in a house in rural Japan?)

　Ray himself seemed to be slightly off the mark, but the best way to think about it was to me.
　In any case, Leldakt thought that as long as there were no such high-ranking monsters, there was no need to make the boundary similar to Gillum's... no, the ancestors of Leldakt who made Jawa thought so.
　And the heads of the successive Counts of Reldakt had the same idea, and as a result, the boundary covering the Java was not a barrier to prevent enemies, but a barrier to sense who had come in from the air.
　In fact, it may not be wrong at all.
　A strong boundary like the one used in guillem has a reasonable consumption just to maintain it.
　Such boundaries have been sufficient until now, considering the monsters in the Earl of Leldakt's territory.
　... yes, until now.

"Set!""Gurling!"

　Ray's words make the set cry high and go straight down to Jawa.
　Without slowing down, he went straight to Java... to the lord's house in the center.
　Even though it is already close to midnight, the lord's residence is lit with many lights.
　You can't normally use magic items of light as you like.
　That's possible because Leldakt has that much money...that is, he's collecting a lot of taxes.
　Usually, bars and brothels are lit with more lights, but at least from above Ray's point of view, Leldakt's mansion was above him in terms of the number of lights.

"Glu".

　Seto suddenly chants as he descends to the ground.













　Ray wondered for a moment, but the next moment he felt something and understood what Seto was talking about.
　At the same time, I realized that perhaps this was the boundary.

(I suppose by this time someone... or something was breaking in from above the Java.)

　While thinking this way, Ray's gaze is staring at the increasingly approaching earth... the next moment, Seto flaps his wings wide, killing the speed of the fall in an instant.
　And when Seto landed in what seemed to be a garden, he didn't feel any particular shock to Ray on his back.
　On the contrary, it shows how well Seto landed when he fell straight down with his wings flapping, but hardly even the sound of his landing on the ground.
　But even if he lands silently, Seto is this big.
　Unsurprisingly, the intimidation emanating from there... there's no hiding in the atmosphere that comes naturally from the rank S monsters.
　As is often the case with guillem, if you're playing, you don't get that kind of atmosphere.
　At any rate, Seto will be found within minutes of landing in the garden.

"Garden! There's something in the garden!"
"Something seems to have broken the boundary of Java. That's probably it!"
"Yes,"

　It took less than seconds for Ray and Sett to break the boundary and land in the garden.
　and after landing in the garden, soldiers, knights, private soldiers in the lord's house... a few minutes before they find them.
　The spread of information that the boundaries have already been broken, regardless of the brief amount of time, means that the chain of command of the people here is strong and that many of them are capable in their own way.

(Well, let alone the chain of command, are you not sure if you are good?)

　A glance at the other person surrounding him makes Ray think so.
　The real problem is that, as far as I looked around, no one seemed to be that strong in Ray's eyes.
　Of course, this is not all the military power in the lord's residence.
　A person who is truly competent would be placed near it as a bodyguard under the direct supervision of Leldakt.

"Who are you?"

　One of the people surrounding Ray and Seto screams so.
　Then Ray takes a smiley step towards the man who screamed.

"Who am I? Don't you understand what's going on? The man who's got his hands on will just be attacked unilaterally?"
"What? What does that mean?"

　Can't the sight of Seto remind him of a sudden attack at night, or can he still be completely out of his mind from the sudden attack?
　Anyway, it was a miscalculation for Ray that he would never get to his true identity when he saw Seto.
　For a moment the idea of hiding his identity and going on a rampage passed through my mind, but this time I'm here to retaliate.
　That being the case, I had to make sure I was identified.

"Do you know who I am?"

　Saying so, taking the spear of death size and twilight out of Mistilling.
　Not many spears in twilight are armed with scythe. ...no, it's only a few.
　Sometimes people who hear Ray's biography of military prowess use it out of admiration, but scythe is quite difficult to actually use in battle.
　Therefore, those who see the death size of a scythe finally realize who is in front of them.

"You are..."
"I think you've finally figured it out." This is Ray, an adventurer belonging to Gilm. --or would it be easier to understand if you said the crimson Ray?"

　Tell him so, and cut the death size right next to him.
　Those who watched it would catch their breath at a blow that seemed to break the air.
