"...I wonder why this is happening."

　Ray breathes and looks at the man in front of him.
　There is a man in his twenties who blushed with anger.
　He has a long sword in his hand and an angry stare at Ray.
　Is it at least a relief that anger is mixed but murder is not mixed?
　With his eyes off him, Ray sees Vichela with a troubled expression on her face and Bune, who is as expressionless as ever.
　It wasn't that difficult for Ray to be in the way he is now.

"Good! If I win, don't poke your nose at Vihela again!"

　A man points the point of his long sword at Ray and screams so.
　It happened when Ray finished talking to workers and left the guild talking to Lenora and Kenny.
　It was as if they had timed it, and Viehra and Beune, who had finished guarding Guillum, returned to the guild.
　...but Vichela and Bune were not the only ones who gave the alarm.
　We were asking adventurers to guard the city because there were not enough guards, but it was done by a group of people.
　And the man in the group with Vichela was either wildly conceited or completely unacceptable to women... but he was completely enamored by the beautiful Vichela, who could not be easily seen.
　Vichela didn't do anything to distract the man.
　I just fell in love at first sight the moment I saw Vihela.
　His half-hearted confidence in his skills made him even more aware that he was the right man for Vihela.
　He launched a fierce attack, but of course Vichela would not have been able to deal with the man... when he saw Ray's face and smiled all over the place, he seemed to have run away.

"Ah... are you really going to fight me?"

　It wasn't just the man in front of Ray who was working with him.
　That's what some of them have been doing as adventurers in guillem, and they know Ray's ability as a matter of course.
　That's why he tried to stop the man, but the man now half-lost his capacity to think because of his love for Vihela and his jealousy of Ray never took such advice.

"Vihela".

　His last request and Ray's gaze at Vihela returned by shaking his head.
　Vichela has repeatedly refused every time a man approaches her.
　But how he perverted it, the man concluded that Vihela was being deceived by Ray.
　And if you can't forgive Ray, who is approaching Vihela, you decide... it's the situation you are in.

"What's wrong with you! You've got to fight this Meran Canning fair and squarely.

　The screaming man... No, he's a little surprised at Melan's name.
　Now the man in front of me was... Mellan Canning.
　Yes, I used my family name.
　It is very rare in this world to have a family name.
　It wasn't something a mere adventurer could call himself.

(Is he a noble, or did he accomplish some great feat?)

　Even if you think so for a second, you don't think you need to think about it.
　After all, this is a kind of duel, and my victory is already fixed.

"Oh, that's too much trouble," I see. I got your idea anyway. Then let's get it done quickly."

　Tell him so, Ray holds his hand.
　But Ray held his fist, not his death size, not his twilight spear, not his thorn spear.

"Hey, what's that like?"

　Ray doesn't have any particular weapon, even though he has a long sword.
　I'm just holding my fist lightly in front of my face.
　Melan can only think of herself as a contempt.
　Those around him look up to heaven in spite of Melan's words.
　I'm lucky that Ray doesn't really fight, but he doesn't seem to understand it at all...

"You don't have to use weapons to deal with you. and I'm pretty good at fighting with my bare hands."

　The word is not wrong at all.
　Besides, if you use weapons, you could accidentally kill the other person, but if you use your bare hands, you don't have to worry about that.
　...mostly because Ray's physical ability allows him to kill his opponent with his bare hands.

"Oh!? You have to regret your arrogance after losing!"

　As he says so, Melan quickly narrows his distance with Ray and wields his long sword down.
　... still trying to hit Ray with the middle part of the blade, not the blade part, is proof that he had no intention of killing him, though he challenged himself to a duel.

(Well, he seemed to have blood in his head, but he was thinking unexpectedly.)

　Ray takes a step back, looking at the belly of the dagger swung down at him.
　A long sword passes by in front of Ray.
　He stepped forward, looking sideways at the man who stopped the dagger that almost hit the ground.
　Ray sticks out his fist to Melan, who has stopped moving for a moment after a hard blow was taken off.
　At the moment, the sound around me was not very loud, but I didn't think anyone had hit me.
　Melan was wearing a leather armour, but she lost consciousness the moment she thought she felt floating because of the shock that made no sense.
　In this case, Melan must have been lucky enough to lose consciousness.
　I didn't have to go through the experience of my body blowing off a few meters and rolling on the ground with my body still rubbing against the ground.

"Oh, hey... look at that leather armour." Is that a mark of a fist by any chance."

　mutter one of the spectators around
　Those who heard the words turned their eyes to Melan's armor, where, as the man uttered, what appeared to be the marks of his fist remained firmly on Melan's leather armour.
　Under normal circumstances, hitting a leather armour wouldn't leave such a clean mark.
　It was proof of how powerful Ray's blow was.

"You're trying to be aggressive again,"

　While those around her looked astonished at the fist marks left on Melan's leather armour, Vihela was the only one who looked dumbfounded as she approached her.
　Vihela understood what Ray had done. ...no, perhaps it's because of Vihela.
　Vihela's skill is to immerse herself in the magic palm, which directly impacts the opponent's body as soon as she touches the opponent.
　...however, Vichela's hand, which has absorbed Ambris, has transformed into a vicious skill of sending in magical power just by touching the other person and exploding from within.
　And what Ray did seemed to be similar to but different from the magician.
　It's the same in terms of impact on the other person's body, but the method was to hit the leather armour with force.
　The power of it is only for the melan to blow away, even though Ray is very loose.

"Is that so? Well, I think I've tried not to die, and it's not life-threatening, is there? I don't think I've had any trouble."
"... you've done something unusual for Ray, haven't you?"
"No, I don't always really beat him up, do I?"

　Ray tells her so, but Vihela looks disbelieving.

"I can't believe it for a moment, considering Ray's behavior so far?"

　Then Ray had to remember what he had done so far.

"Well, I'm glad as a woman to think that she fought for me."

　Vichela with a really happy smile, as you say.
　Near Vichela, Bune seemed to look somewhat dumbfounded at Vichela.
　His expression hasn't changed as usual, but the atmosphere is different.
　At any rate, Vihela changes the subject, perhaps realizing Bune's gaze.

"And when Ray is back, that's all over the place, isn't it?"
"Oh, that's over," but you're finally breaking down the wall?""I hear so," I haven't really touched it."

　Vichela, who basically works as a kind of guard, probably doesn't have much to do with it.

"Well, is Marina the forest of Trent again today?"
"Yes. Spirits help you a lot. I've heard that the morale of woodcutters is rising without ceilings."
"... well, it's a man's house."

　There are exceptions, but basically many woodcutters are men.
　At least there was only a man in the guillem tree that Ray knew.
　In the midst of all this, if a seductive woman like Marina is working with her, of course there will be many who want to show her good side.
　Not only that, but in the case of marina, there is spiritual magic.
　Working as a woodcutter in the hot summer season is quite a hard work.
　I sometimes work in the shade of a tree because I cut it, but it's only a relief.
　But what if there was a spirit wizard there?
　Marina's favorite spirits of water and wind are especially good at their effects.
　In other words, woodcutters can work in a very cool environment in spite of the summer.
　It was only natural that marina would be popular with the cutters because they could work comfortably in the summer heat.

"But it's about time you came back... what do you do? Back to the Wheat-tei at dusk?"
"Oh... I see. I had something to do with Marina, but can I do it at night?"
"Oh, is Marina the only one to do?"
"No, that's not the case,"

　You don't need the magic items you stole from Leldakt's house, so put them in Marina's house.
　It's impossible to say this in such a high-profile place, and Ray misrepresents it.
　After seeing how Ray looked, you must have understood that there was something going on.
　Vichela will not pursue Ray any more, but nods small.

"Well, I'll go and report to the guild, will you wait a moment?"
"I don't mind... what's he going to do with him?"

　She falls in love with Vihela at first sight and gets mixed up with Ray, but Ray asks, looking at Melan, who has lost consciousness at one blow.

"Well... can someone just carry him in the shade? I can't leave him lying in the summer sun."

　At Vihela's words, some of her colleagues nodded and pulled Melan into the shade.

(Do you mean you have a good grasp of your companions?)

　Many, if not as much as Melan, are probably fascinated by Vihela.

"Well, I'm playing with Seto."
"Yes, I'll be back soon,"

　With that information, Vihela takes Bune and others into the guild.
　After seeing it off, Ray heads to the place where Seto is lying down beside the guild.
　Seth had seen the above-mentioned duel, which was naturally one-sided, but he must have seen the obvious difference in ability.
　Lying down, he didn't act as if he were meddling in the duel between Ray and Melan.
　...or maybe I was concentrating on the sandwich someone left me.

"Grull".

　When I saw Ray, I left the sandwich I was eating lying down, and my throat rang.
　Ray smiles a little at Seto's appearance.

"Why don't you worry a little about me?"
"Glu?"

　Ray gently caresses Seto's throaty head, asking if he needed to worry.
　Seto's body and hair are warm in winter, but now it's summer.
　That's probably why so many people don't come together to stroke Seto as usual.
　Some people, however, embrace Seto regardless of whether it'
　Watching Seto eating sandwiches, Ray is a little hungry and takes the sandwiches out of the mistrings himself and begins eating them.

"Rolling".

　Then Ray's sandwich must have looked delicious. Seto whines that he wants it himself.
　After all, Ray, who was sweet to Seto, would wait for Vihela and Bune to come out, sharing sandwiches with Seto.
