"Yes, yes, yes,"

　With a long sword in his hand, Ajas looks around, breathing disheveled.
　The goblins, entering the forest of Trent, are all dead and lying on the ground.

"Oh, hey! What's the matter with you, Ajas?" After all, he's a goblin, and why are you so serious?"

　One of the adventurers asked to guard the woodcutters with Ajas calls out to him to care so much.
　However, when he was approached, Ajas glares at the person he approached, looking as if he were half bloodshot.

"Oh!? Oh, hey, adjas?"

　Breathtaking for a second, the man calls out to Ajas again.
　Nevertheless, the man's grip on the mace of arms was strained because he felt an instinctive wonder in his manner.
　Did you feel that kind of man, too? Calm down and look at the workmates in front of you.
　However, the appearance of calmness is only outward.
　They suspect that the man in front of them is also Ray or Ilze's companion.
　In the first place, he was sent to guard a woodcutter in the woods of Trent because of the guild's strong request.
　The original reward is good, and you can expect additional reward for cutting down trees.
　It was too conspicuous of the guild to refuse such a request.

(But as far as we can see today... perhaps the very thing that brought me a request was a trap.) Then you can safely assume that the guild is looking into me.)

　Unnervedly, Ajas expected almost certain things about it.
　In fact, when Kenny negotiated to get Ajas over here, there was no doubt that he was deeply suspected, but it was not yet confirmed that Ajas was Ilze's enemy.
　the face of Adjas in the memory of tattoos and Ilze
　These two were the grounds for this, but tattoos alone could be considered similar, and I don't always remember the face I saw five years ago.
　though I thought it would be half-decided from Ray's point of view when the two were in a set.
　In any case, it was in the last conversation that Ajas was truly confirmed to be Ilze's enemy.
　Now that she knew it, she could not help doubting the adventurers she had received at the same time.

"Oh, I'm sorry, this forest has more trouble in the goblin than I thought. I had a little blood in my head."
"Are you sure you're all right? It's unusual that Ajas has a hand against Goblin."

　At Ajas's appearance, the man gently relaxes from his mace hand.
　There have been several attacks on the forest of Trent.
　But most of them were goblin, and there was nothing more trouble than that.
　The man had seen the battle of Ajas many times, and that was probably why he wondered when he saw Ajas struggling with the goblin.

"Oh, I'm a little sick," ...I'm sorry, but if things go on like this, it could be a drag on the others. If you don't mind my absence, may I go home today?"
"What? Hey, are you really sick?" ... well, I'm not that busy here, so I don't mind. Wouldn't it be better to tell Mr. Lugurno?"
"Yes, I will," I'm really glad I'm working here."

　Adjas, who tells me so, is glad that he is working as a woodcutter's bodyguard.
　In fact, if you were working at a construction site that was building a new wall, you wouldn't be able to imitate leaving halfway.
　Of course, the busiest place in Gilmoo is the construction site.
　If you ask me to leave you in such a place because you're a little sick, I wouldn't normally admit it that easily.
　...but if you're feeling sick and you're going to have to delay other work, that's a different story.
　Anyway, when Ajas tells the man so, he walks through the forest of Trento in search of Rugulno.
　The recent Goblin attack makes it not so difficult to find Lugluno.
　But... Ajas stops moving the moment he sees Rugulno.
　The reason is that by the side of Lugluno there were Rey and Ilze.
　Are you possibly saying something to Lugluno about yourself?
　If you think so, you can't afford to talk to Lugluno.

(It's better if you don't say anything and disappear.

　No ordinary adventurer can do such a thing like that.
　However, Ajas already understands that he is known to Ray.
　That being the case, you won't be able to work as an adventurer.
　It's not just this guillem.
　The guild-to-guild communication network would probably have made Ajas' name known.
　There is a possibility that portraits will spread.
　Given that, they decide that they don't have to go out of their way to say no to Lugluno here, and leave immediately.
　You can't use a horse-drawn carriage, but it's still not a walking or running distance to Gilm.

(Should I go directly to Abuero? ... No, no, my base is in Guilm, so I need to go back to Guilm to prepare for the disappearance. and I can't leave them alone.)

　There are other cases where we can't leave the women we've secured.
　It is now in a prison rented from an organization, but I can't forget to collect it.
　Maybe I should leave it to my companions, but there's a possibility that Rey, Ilze, or others behind, will find their own room...
　Of course, I'm going to hide anything that could prove there.
　But there may still be some clues left, and considering that, it's still better to take the women with you when you run away.

(No, if you take the women out, they will stand out even with the cooperation of the slum organization. "In that case, should I become a niece? Anyway, do I need to go back to the inn as soon as possible to discuss the matter?"

　muttering inwardly, Ajas looked up several times... at the sun, the blue sky, and the Nyudo cloud, which was pouring down in the intense summer sun.
　It was because I was sweating from the interaction with the Reys, the battle with the Goblin, and above all, the skies deserved to be called fine weather, but the bigger one was Seto.
　If it's a Gryphon capable of flying, isn't it possible to chase yourself out of the sky?
　for there was such a fear -- which he would not admit.
　...that's right.
　In fact, Seto was chasing Ajas from the sky at this time.
　But the aim is not to pursue Ajas as he thinks. It's just a chase.
　If Ajas is fleeing in this situation, it's likely that it's where Ajas is based.
　Of course, there was a possibility that he would not go directly to the base and disappear.
　If he tried to do so, Seto would have directly secured it, but... given that he was not caught now, he probably had some luck left.
　In addition, the reason why Ajas couldn't find him even though he was tracking Ajas from above is simply because of his height.
　If they were flying at an altitude of about 10 meters, it would not have been difficult for Ajas to find a set.
　But Seto was flying at an altitude of 100 meters as usual.
　It is impossible for adventurers to find a set flying at an altitude of 100 meters, even though they are more physically competent than ordinary humans.
　No, in some cases it was possible, but at least it was impossible for Ajas.
　Ajas, who doesn't even know he's being followed, continues to run and eventually arrives at Gilm.
　By the time the main gate came into view, he had slowed down and looked sick.
　He must have thought it would be best to do so because he had originally come back sick.
　However, since he came out without saying anything to Lugluno, it will be known that he came back without permission.
　But for now, Ajas thought there would be no problem if he could manage it.
　When you finish the procedures to enter the guild, you go straight to the hotel where you are based, not to the guild.Naturally, Seto was able to confirm such a situation from above.
　When he sees Ajas entering the inn, Seto watches for Ajas to escape from the inn as he flies over the sky.
　However, if Ajas had escaped from the basement of the inn or moved to a roofed area that was not visible from the sky, he would not be able to see it from Seto.
　At any rate, Sett would continue to watch the inn, flying in the sky and watching the surroundings.





"Ah..."

　Finally returning to the inn, Ajas falls on the bed breathing in relief.
　"Of course, I knew I couldn't afford to stay like this forever, but I was still very nervous about coming back to this inn thinking that I might be attacked by Ray at any time."

"I wish I hadn't come back here,"

　The reason I mutter is that if you look for this inn, you may find some kind of evidence that even Ajas forgot about it.
　"However, given that there was no time to spare, I was honest that I had no choice but to come back to this inn."

"Anyway, I must do something about it as soon as possible. Anyway, isn't there so much I can do now?"

　If you're coming to Gillum alone, you're coming with Lebedev and Haston.
　Of course I'm not acquainted with her officially, but I'm actually entrusted with the task of working together to gather women.
　That being the case, I can't act like I'm the only one running away from here without telling them anything.
　Moreover, I have known Lebedev and Haston for more than five years.
　That's all I've thought about... Ajas reminds me of the first woman she's met in five years.

(At that time... you were on the way to meet Lebedev and Haston, right? I needed a little money while I was there... Oh, yeah. Yes, I remember.)

　When I think about Ilze's face, I feel so much better that I get out of bed.

"First of all, whatever I'm going to prepare, I can't go out and buy it." Then I'd have to ask someone to buy me a lot of things like that's why.

　There are children in charge of chores who know nothing about themselves in the inn.
　With such a child, it's not difficult to get the food you need after you leave the guillem.

"Food for three people...or at least here I should buy the rest at Abuero or Subursta. if I could, I wouldn't like to draw in very much."

　The original plan was to end the deal with the slum's backstop as soon as possible, and take away the missing women in Abuero, Subursta, or any other villages, towns, or cities they stopped by.
　However, such leisurely behavior cannot be done in the present situation.
　At the very least, if you try to take a woman away from the streets of Abuero and Subursta near Gilm, Ray could come while you're doing that.

"Gryphon and all that foul," and it's a rare species."

　No matter how many adjusters move over the ground, it's not difficult for the flying Gryphon to find.
　Moreover, any dangerous act of diverting from the road would soon be discovered by the Gryphon.
　Whatever you do, the speed of movement is definitely at a disadvantage for Ajas.
　It leaves Ajas frustrated.
　But I'm not so conceited as to think I could beat Ray without the Gryphon.
　After all, I'm nothing but a Rank D adventurer.
　With Lebedev and Haston, you might be able to beat a Rank C... or a Rank B adventurer, but Ray is not just a Rank B adventurer, but a notorious Rank B adventurer.
　Anyway, as long as we lose at the time of the battle, the only thing Ajas can do is not fight.
　Ajas struggled alone in the room to find a way to do so.
