As the adjas concluded they were escaping the guillem, Ray was frowning at reports from Marina and Vihela.
　The place is, as usual, Marina's garden.
　In addition to the usual red lotus wings, Ilze, the person involved, is also seen there.
　The Ilze was smirking at the number of dishes that continued to be prepared yesterday.
　Ray's many dishes were stored in a mistling of fresh food bought from stalls and restaurants.
　There's also a pizza made in a magic kiln.
　For Ilze, who could not earn that much as an adventurer, every dish there should have been described as eye-poisoning.
　However, while eating such a variety of dishes, words from Marina and Vihela's mouth are not appropriate to enjoy the meal.

"Is there more people missing?"
"Yes, it seems that the guild has come in its own way to ask for the missing."

　It's not difficult to gather information about what kind of requests Marina, a former guildmaster, has.
　It wasn't an illegal and dark request, it was a request that was usually posted on the request board, and it was a fact that the receptionist could easily tell.
　Many receptionists admire Marina.
　Marina, now an adventurer, is also a guild adviser.
　It was no difficult task for such marina to gather information about her open requests.

"I saw some people looking for acquaintances when I was on patrol."

　Words from Vihela's mouth, who was on the lookout for Gillum to help the guards, also corroborated Marina's words.
　At the dinner, Ray said of Ajas, but before that, he heard of the loss of his companions at the site of the extension from the rain of the mercy of the Rank D party.
　Ray doesn't know why he was going to tell the story.
　In the first place, a lot of people come to Gilm on a regular basis.
　Not a few of them go missing for some reason.
　More people are gathering than usual, especially now because of the extension work.
　Given that, it is no wonder that some of them will disappear.
　But... yes, but...
　Still, Ray was curious about what he had heard from the rain of mercy.
　There's no clear reason.
　No, the reason would be that she was told what kind of personality the missing member of the Rain of Mercy, Rusha.

"There are a lot of so-called uphillers, aren't there, then, maybe there are people who are doing something to target those people?"

　muttered Elena, savoring a soup full of vegetables and bacon.
　There was a strong persuasion in the words.
　Even though it's on the frontier... or maybe it's because it's on the frontier, the guillem has developed considerably.
　That's the extent to which the scale of the guillem will change from city to city, so it's clear how far it has developed.
　...however, it is a city ruled by Dusker, one of the three major factions in the Kingdom of Mileana.
　It might have been funny that it was the size of the city, not the city.

"Well, I'm sure Gilm is a place full of temptations. ...but most of them are young women? Of course, some of them are men, so I can't say they're gone...
"Most of them are women? Then there's a good chance they got involved in some kind of course.

　While eating sausage and summer vegetable pizza, Ray mutters convincingly.
　Needless to say, women are prone to a lot of trouble.
　As long as the missing are adventurers, it will be difficult for those gangsters to do anything about it.
　But if it's impossible to use force, there's a lot to do with it.
　In a simple way, you can put medicine in your diet.
　A simpler way is to attack in large numbers.
　There are a wide variety of means, including surprise and covert attacks.

"...you might as well ask the guard to-morrow,"

　Everyone present nods to Vihela, who is helping the guards.
　Speaking of help, Vihela seemed vulnerable, but in reality very few guards could compete with Vihela at all.
　For this reason, Vihela had a strong presence among the guards.
　Of course, strength alone does not earn the unconditional trust and trust of guards and other adventurers.
　However, it must have worked well in this case because it is acting as the wing of the lotus, and because it has been known to the people around it in guillem for some time.
　But it may be related to the circumstances of that area that he was beating up one after another at the other, who was teasing her for her appearance and dress.

"Well, so be it," I'm very busy now, and I don't want to burden the guards if possible."

　More or less people who have listened to Ray's words smile.
　Security guards are busy because so many adventurers, craftsmen, and even ordinary people come to Gilm in search of work.
　With so many people gathered together, it is only natural that a disturbance occurs.
　The most common of them is probably a quarrel.
　In fact, Vihela and Bune stopped while they were patrolling the streets... No, that's the most common thing that's been suppressed.
　At any rate, the matter of the missing person will be settled tomorrow with Vihela consulting the guards.
　Ray wondered if the raindrops of mercy had already consulted the guards, but if that was the case, it would be fine.
　The adventurer who had just come to Gilm and the Vihela who had been working in Gilm for a long time.
　If both sides are consulted, the guards will have to move.

(And I have a strangely unpleasant feeling. It's as if something was creeping behind the scenes. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . )

　Worrying about the strange feeling in his heart, Ray said that this was the end of the story of the missing;

"And about Ajas..."

　The moment the name Ajas comes out, Ilze's mood changes.
　But he says nothing in particular, as it was expected of Ray.

"I tried again today, but they still don't stick out their tails so easily. I'm not good at that kind of thing."

　Ray had already confirmed that Ajas was wearing a cat, whether or not he was Ilze's enemy.
　However, as long as there is no evidence to prove it, there is no way we can force ourselves to take action.

"It would have been easier to understand if Ajas had been involved in the missing person that we talked about earlier."

　Vichela tells me annoyingly.
　If so, the two problems would be solved at once, but that wouldn't be the case without any evidence.

"That would be rather easy," . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I wish you would show me your tail by doing something careless."
"If you would have acted carelessly, we would have a way of doing things." It's a bit disappointing that I can't do that."
"... shall I try to get the adjudication myself?"

　It was Ilze who said so.
　But Marina immediately shakes her head at Ilze's words.

"You'd better stop it," Ajas doesn't know why Ray got his eye on him. No, of course I can predict what I've done in my conversation with Ray, but I don't think there's any evidence."
"But, Mr. Marina," If Ajas knew that I was here, he would take some action."
"Yes, but... the problem is that Ilze himself is not good enough." What if you get attacked by Ajas? Of course, if one of us is around, we can deal with it. But... if I may say this, we are busy with a lot of things at the moment."

　It was a muddled marina, but the content is tantamount to saying that there is no time for Ilze alone at this busy time.
　At Marina's words, Ilze gently diverts her gaze.Ilze also doesn't think his revenge is more than an extension of Gilm.
　Still, Ilze could not help wanting to put his revenge before his extension.
　Feeling something subtle, Ray suddenly says what he thinks.

"Can't you imitate Marina's spirit magic to let Ilze know when she's in danger?"
"Well... it's a little difficult, but it's not impossible." But when that happens.

　Marina hesitates to say something, but she closes her eyes as if she were thinking... and then opens her mouth with a smile.

"I'm going to push myself a little, but if I were to say it's possible or impossible, it's possible. But if that happens, the extension work may be delayed a little."
"... I see,"

　Basically, Ray, who goes back and forth in various places, Seto, who takes charge of the sky watch, and Vichela and Bune, who are looking around the city.
　Like the three of them and one of them, Marina works at an extension.
　Spirited magic... and incredible to the eyes of the same Spirited Wizard, Marina was a great help at the site of the extension.
　To force the marina to do something is naturally a twist.

(The question is, what is the extent of the strain?)

　There is no particular problem if the strain is acceptable.
　But it's not irrevocable... but if it could be a big deal, you'd have to put a lot of emphasis on it.
　Marina was looking at Ray looking lost, but then she muttered that there was nothing she could do about it, and then she opened her mouth.

"All right. If Ray's got that much into her, shall I try a little hard?"
"Is that all right?"

　Ray looks at Marina, who had been reluctant until recently, for some reason suddenly started saying so.
　Marina nods with a charming smile, as usual, when she sees Ray's gaze.

"Yes, there's no problem," I just want a reward for my hard work."
"...even if you say so." What should I do?"

　The word "part-time job" passed through Ray's mind for a moment, but in the first place, the Ray's house is now.
　Marina couldn't have been hard up for money, considering that it was also a house in the aristocracy.
　Marina, who was guildmaster a while ago, naturally gets paid for it.
　The guildmaster, the top guild... is also the top guild of guilds on the frontier.
　Of course, the reward is reasonable, and it's equal to or more than Ray, who has enough money to allow a family to play and live ten times, let alone a lifetime.
　Of course, it's not gold or silver, but it's been preserved as a gem.
　Marina's house is protected by spirit magic, which also means security.
　...although Marina herself is not that interested in money.
　Dark elves don't have that high financial needs.
　Anyway, the reward for wanting such a marina.
　That was a little unimaginable to Ray.
　Vichela opens her mouth with a slightly muddled look on her face, perhaps because she couldn't see him like that way.

"...on a date with Ray." Isn't that the place?"
"What? Is that okay with you? I don't mind that."
"So I don't mind asking Ray for a date, De, De, as a reward, for keeping the aristocratic runaway."

　Elena was a bit hesitant when it came to a date, but she looked at her with a wistful look on her face, saying, "Well said!"

"Oh, well, then I'll ask for a date, too."

　Vichela, who was listening to Elena, said so, and Ray ended up contacting Ajas directly instead of making a date with the three Elena.
