At first, Leldakt didn't know what was happening to him.
　Even my right arm spinning through the air makes me think it's a joke or something.
　I never imagined that someone would harm me so openly as a noble.
　I knew that Ray was a dangerous opponent, even though he was a nobleman, but I still felt... that he was the only one who could attack.
　I can't believe Ray, who belongs to the neutral faction, attacks himself, who belongs to the aristocratic faction, which is said to be forming friendships these days.
　But Leldakt was thinking only about what was convenient for him, and some important information had disappeared from his mind.
　I guess it's no wonder.
　In fact, it was quite unexpected for Leldakt that Ray would attack his territory directly, let alone his lord's residence.
　It's not that I underestimated Ray...
　I never thought I would do this to myself.
　Of course, there are individuals who have that much ability.
　But there is a big difference between being able to do it and being able to do it.
　Why?
　That was what Leldakt thought as he looked at his right arm flying in the air.
　But... those questions won't last forever.
　The next moment, blood spouts from his right shoulder and severe pain hits Leldakt.
　the most intense pain in one's life

"Oh... oh, my God!"

　the pain of being pressed against one's body with iron heated to red
　Of course, Leldakt has never experienced such pain, but what Leldakt is feeling right now is more like heat than pain.
　Before you realize it, you roll around the floor holding down your bleeding right shoulder.

"Gosh!"

　The next moment, such a Reldact is shocked and floated in the air.
　...Lerdact didn't know that Ray had hit him with a death-size handle, but I could tell that Ray was saying something in a situation where his vision was distorted by tears... the next moment he felt another burning pain and screamed.

`Oh, my God!'

　Leldact rolled around on the floor with tears, runny nose and drools, but he could not notice that the blood had stopped flowing from his right shoulder, which had just been cut off by Ray.
　an overwhelming fever and acute pain Because of these two things, Leldakt's consciousness was not enough to think about anything else.
　A glance at Leldact, who rolls around on the floor crying in pain, gives a sigh of amazement.

"There are many who have been killed under your direction, and you have lost one arm, and that is how you are? I wish you would show a more noble and resolute attitude." I burned the wound and blocked it so that he wouldn't bleed to death."

　It was Ray's words, which were filled with amazement, but there was no sign that Leldact would respond to them.
　After watching Leldakt for a few minutes, Ray slaps his tongue slightly and takes a portion out of the mistling and hangs it on Leldakt.
　The portion is by no means of high quality and is the cheapest thing sold in stores.
　Still, he could have softened some of the pain Leldakt was feeling.
　There were still tears, runny nose and drools on his face, but the pain had subsided and he was able to look at Ray.

"You don't think this is enough to make amends for what you've done. for many are dead."
"...but even if you say you're dead, you're a commoner after all! Do this to me as a noble..."
"Unfortunately, to me... and to the inhabitants of Gillum, merchants are more important than nobles of your caliber." ... well, don't worry. I've been told not to take your life."

　The words definitely give Leldakt a breath of relief.
　I realize that at least my life is all right... the next moment I'm shot dead and I'm cut off from Leldakt's left shoulder.

"What? ... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

　Once he had his right arm amputated, he would have immediately discovered that his left arm had been amputated. Without the same time lag as the first, Leldakt understands what he's done and screams at the pain.
　In order to stop the large amount of blood from flowing out, Ray's magic burned the wound again... but he never got used to the pain, and his face looked miserable with tears, runny nose, and drools.
　If you say you're a noble of noble blood, you'll never believe it.
　Also, I can't keep my balance well because I suddenly lost my arms.
　As a result, all Leldact could do was move like caterpillars on the floor.

"Why... I told you not to kill me!"
"Well, the man who asked me told me not to kill him. --and you didn't kill him, did you?"

　Only then will Leldakt realize.
　The man in front of us has no respect or awe for his position as a nobleman.
　If they get in the way, they cut it with the scythe as easily as the weeds around them.
　It was informational that neither Leldakt nor Ray had found a shred of value to the nobles -- to be exact, to the nobles who were hostile to him.
　But knowing it as information and actually feeling it were completely different.
　Those who see no value not only in themselves, but also in the presence of the nobility, are completely incomprehensible to Leldakt, who has lived in the aristocratic world... literally seem like monsters.
　I finally really understood the dangers of Ray.
　Ray opens his mouth, looking at Leldact.

"Even if you lose one or two arms... you're not dead. Right? Don't worry, you still have two legs?"
`Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

　Nothing but overwhelming fear remained in Leldakt if he understood that Ray meant anything.
　Now I understand why those who were in charge of my bodyguards fled without fighting.
　No, Leldakt was unconscious when the guards fled, but now he clearly understood that the guards would not have fought against Ray.
　Lerdact, who looked so aristocratic before Ray carried out the attack, is not there.
　There was only one man who was somehow trying to get past the overwhelming monster in front of him.
　Ray opens his mouth at the sight of Leldakt.

"Well, I'd like to ask you a question... as long as you have the title of count, of course you have some magic items?"

　with a start
　Ray's words stop Leldakt.
　What was there was an incredible eye.
　Because I understood what Ray was asking for.
　If you collect Ray's information, you'll soon find out that one of Ray's hobbies is to collect magic items.
　And as long as he was trying to reach out to Gillum, Leldakt could not have known about Ray, who is regarded as Dusker's sword.
　But knowing that, Leldakt would not immediately nod.
　Magic items are of great value.
　Magic items collected by aristocrats are naturally of high scarcity value.
　Can I give it to Ray?
　That's why I hesitated to answer Ray'

"Well, you know what it means to not answer my question under the present circumstances?"

　When Leldakt sees it, he nods and opens his mouth.

"Oh, I see! The storehouse collecting magic items is in the back of the house. But it's registered by my magic, so I can't open it unless I do it!"

　If things go on like this, I will be killed.
　Thinking so, Leldakt manages to shout so.

"Well, then, will you show me a little?" It's not such a bad story if you think of it as an apology for interfering with Gilmoo, is it? It's a different story depending on which is more important, life or property."
"Yes, I know," But it's not necessarily the magic items Ray wants in my house!"Leldakt lost both arms, but the portion somehow relieved him of the pain.

"I'll judge that on my own. Show me around."
"Wait, are you telling me to show you around?"
"Of course, if you can't go to the place where the magic items are stored without your magical powers, I don't think it's funny?"
"But look at my present situation! Not very much, but in a state where I can move.
'Hikiri' (flying sword)

　I'm in no condition to move myself.
　Just next to Leldact, who was about to say so, a death-size slash flies.
　If Leldact had an arm, it would probably have been amputated.
　A sledgehammer flew so close.

「……」

　Leldact's face was still dry with tears, drools and runny nose, but a new cold sweat was added to it.

"If you can't show me around, then you're done with your feet." ...what are you going to do? I don't care which way. Oh, don't worry. I won't take my life at all I can do is my life. That's a request from my client, and I'm sure I'll keep it."

　Ray says so with a smile, but Leldakt understands how terrifying the smile is.

"Here we go! Here we go!"

　Leldakt, who had great pride as a nobleman, naturally became a polite expression when he saw Ray smile.
　It's too late... really too late, but I think we've noticed what could be called the absolute difference in status between us.

"Well, then, shall we go?" -- here, show me the way."

　Ray forces Leldakt to stand up because of the loss of both arms.

"Oops!"

　But the impact screamed from Leldakt's mouth, perhaps from his burnt shoulders.
　Most of the pain is suppressed by a lotion, but it's still not entirely.
　Moreover, Leldakt was not accustomed to pain because of his aristocratic upbringing.
　Still, Ray has no intention of forgiveness for Leldakt.
　Many merchants have lost their lives because of the intervention Leldakt put out to Gilm.
　Apart from Ray's awareness, there is no doubt that a number of merchant groups have been attacked, all of whom have been killed.
　He also managed to live on heavy taxes in this Earl of Leldakt.
　The heavy tax has even created a rebel force.
　Considering the number of people Leldact has killed, directly or indirectly, I don't feel like treating them kindly.

(Well, in terms of the number of people killed, whether directly or indirectly, I would be superior to him.)

　the war against the Vestian Empire, the civil war of the Vestian Empire, and the bandits who attacked it many times.
　That would be by far the better than Leldakt in terms of the sheer number of lives he has taken.
　But Ray and Leldakt are definitely different.
　Ray took human lives mostly against battlefields and bandits, not ordinary people.

"This way,"

　You've lost both arms, and it's probably hard to balance.
　It's not like drunken staggered feet... but it's like walking along.
　Ray follows Lerdact in small spaces, keeping the eyes of Nevra handy at all times.
　But fortunately for Ray and for Leldakt, no one attacked him to help him.
　I have encountered some servants, but when I see Leldakt and Ray, I immediately run away from him.
　It was also proof that Leldact was not loved by his inferiors.
