The man... and the moment he saw his fellow men, Jestal realized that he was already in a hopeless place.
　If Ray were the only one here, maybe... really, maybe we could have managed to escape if we all ran in different directions together.
　But now that he understands the wings of the Red Lotus, led by Ray, and that there are some others to help him, he realizes that the situation is very severe.
　...and fortunately for Jestal, he would not have noticed that his helpers were Elena and her men, who were nicknamed the Princess General.
　The light was only moonlight, and Ray's presence also had a strong impact, so he probably couldn't recognize Elena as an Elena.
　Including Arla, I don't know who she is, but I can only recognize her as Ray's helper Ray.

"Rebezeezeezeezeezeezee!

　That's why Jestal shouted at his business partner.
　Why is there a presence like Ray here?
　They are not supposed to be in such a place.
　Nevertheless, there is no reason for Ray to be in such a place other than Lebedevs.
　But... the Lebedevs looked at each other in their circle, not at all concerned about the sight of Jestal.

"You've got to be quiet for a moment," The guard should be coming soon, and I'll have him tell me what he knows."
"Slip,"

　When Rey tells him so, he can't say anything.
　Jestal is also a man who has survived this guillem underworld and risen to the top of the organization.
　Of course that courage is not normal, but when Ray turns his eyes on me and tells me to shut up, I can't move my mouth any more.
　It's like a frog glared at by a snake.
　...Elgin has some frog monsters that feed on snakes, but unfortunately it was impossible for Jestal to be like that.
　However, Ray is not a cute creature like a snake, but rather something that should be called a dragon.
　At any rate, Ray, who glares at Jestal, turns his eyes to Ajas again.
　There were two men near Ajas, who knew from a distance that they were two of Ajas's companions, Lebedev and Haston.

"It's been a long time, isn't it?" I only met him today. It's been a few hours, to be exact."
"... I see. I should have missed you if possible."

　Ajas's attitude toward Ray was different from that of meeting him in the woods of Trent.
　I guess it's because I don't have to hide my true identity anymore.
　As he talks with Ajas, Ray sees intelligence forces surrounding and capturing Jestal's after another.
　Naturally, Jestal's men try to resist it, but if Seto makes a sound around him, his men will be unable to do anything.
　In the first place, there are many people who have broken their desire to resist when the wings of the red lotus are present.
　Instead of being accused of resisting badly here and being tortured during interrogation... with that in mind
　The intelligence forces have also secured dozens of horse-drawn wagons with enslaved women in them.
　That's how it looks... that the Ajas don't want to take it back when they see that their destination carriage has already been secured.
　Now, anyway, we need to get out of here and get out of Gillum.
　Originally, he was going to use Jestal's help to escape from Gillum, but now he can't do it any more.
　On the contrary, if you stick to Jestal here, you'll get caught.

"Really? I missed you. But I'm surprised to see you disappeared from the forest of Trent without saying anything, and if you're going home for any reason, why didn't you say anything to us?"
"No, it was a little urgent,"
"Oh, is that business what it is now?"

　While talking to Ray, Ajas was quickly and repeatedly watching what was going on around him in an effort to get away from the scene.
　However, there is no way he could have done it, including Ray, and he is just staring at the gap.
　That's what makes it possible for the adjusters to do something strange right away.

"No, no, it doesn't matter," I'm almost done with my business, and I'd like to leave as it is, if possible."
"...really? I just wish I could stay here a little longer and tell you a solid story."
"You can't go out of your way to give Ray such trouble, can you?"
"No, there's someone I'd like to hear about you, and I'd like you to stay here."
"Why, then?"
"Oh, I can't help me. I really want to ask you a lot of things, and there are other people besides me who have business with you. No, it's fair to say that's my favorite."

　Such Rey's words must have made Ajas aware of who he was referring to.
　He doesn't want to... that's an adjust with a really unpleasant look on his face.

"Why is a notorious high-ranking adventurer involved with someone like that? Don't you usually ask them to pay more? Like building an extension to a guillem."
"Don't worry, you're doing well, too."

　In fact, Ray is working hard on the extension of the Gillum while cooperating on Ilze's revenge.
　However, since most of them are mainly carried by mistiling, it doesn't take that long.

"...is that so?" You seem to be working very hard, but why don't you spend a little more time?"
"You don't have to tell me about it, but I'm sure you'll find it safe. Now, I can't keep talking like this forever."

　Ray says so when he sees that intelligence forces have finished tying up Jestal and most of his men.

"No, no, let's talk a little more. Don't you think it's better to speak up, given the coincidence you have encountered in such a place?"
"By chance. I'm afraid it's too late...

　We're running out of time, so let's get it done.
　Ray was going to say so, but suddenly he hears a voice.
　No, in terms of voice, many people around me are talking.
　Jestal and his men were open-mouthed, but not.
　a shouty voice that seems to be about to fight

"What?"

　A familiar man was running toward the Rays with his long sword in his hand.
　That's a melan.
　For some reason, I wonder at the way they run straight towards us.

"Why Melan?"
"What?"

　At Ray's words, Vihela gives a stupid voice.
　Since Vichela, who had been on the lookout for Gillum with him, it was only natural that he reacted to his name.
　And it wasn't just Ray and Vihela who turned their eyes on Melan's arrival. The same was true of the intelligence forces around him.
　As long as their lives are at stake, there is no way that the adjas will miss such a critical opportunity.
　Adjas' ignorance of Melan was also a trigger for their movement.
　With the faces of Ray and other Red Lotus wings, Elena and Arra, they could have dealt with it even if the Ajas had fled toward them.
　However, since the adjas know that Ray and his companions are tough, they can't go there honestly.
　It was the direction of intelligence.
　On top of that, the three of them started to move together without giving any signal.
　Haston left his rucksack with food on his back and acted lightly.
　What's more, all three of them begin to move silently.
　Ray was a little curious about how he communicated in the situation, but now he needed to move faster."Fly off!"

　swing one's death size wide
　The shot flew straight through the air... amputating Haston's right knee, the last of the three.
　Haston ran away with his rucksack on the spot, but he was still a little behind the other two because of his futile movements.
　That was the main reason why he ended up running behind him and falling prey to Ray's firing.

"Wow!"

　Something stupid came out of Haston's mouth, even though his right knee was amputated.
　Even if his right knee was amputated due to his sharpness, he may not have felt the pain yet.
　Strong tension in this situation was also one of the causes of the dullness of the pain.

"Terrain manipulation!"

　What I went on to do was to manipulate the terrain.
　The skill of pushing a death-size stonemate to the ground slows down the front-runner's movement.
　It's only natural. A wall of one meter suddenly appeared in the direction I was running.
　...and some ruins had collapsed as the walls appeared, but Ray didn't seem to care.
　A wall one meter high is not difficult for adventurers like Ajas to jump over.
　But that's only if you know there's a wall there, and you're prepared accordingly.
　Ajas slows down for a moment on the wall that suddenly appears in front of him -- not so close.
　There would normally have been no problem with that, but Lebedev was running just behind Ajas.
　Suddenly, the speed of Ajas running in front of her slows down and hits her back... off balance, involves Ajas and rolls around.

`Groop!'
"What!"

　Ajas was conscious only of the earth wall ahead of him, so he probably didn't expect Lebedev to hit him.
　However, they cannot, of course, just fall.
　At any rate, he decides that he needs to get away from here now. ... Suddenly, Ajas finds it strange.
　The two people here are myself and Lebedev, who hit me in the back.
　This is good.
　But... what's the matter with Haston, our other companion?
　If they were running with us, I thought it would be better to overtake them... Ajas turns back.
　What came into Ajas's view was Haston, who fell to the ground, wielding a long sword desperately, and holding back the intelligence forces approaching him.
　I wondered for a moment why he didn't stand up, but there was blood around Haston... the reason was obvious when I saw the tip of his right knee being amputated and rolled a little further away.

"Hust!"

　Lebedev looks behind her voice.
　And I saw... the same scene as Ajas.
　Adjas, Lebedev and Haston know they are evil.
　Knowing that, I cherished these three as my friends who would never betraying them.
　Therefore, it was only natural that the movement would stop when one of their comrades saw them fighting for their lives to escape.

"What are you doing, run away!"

　Haston shouts, wielding his long sword, wondering if he had noticed them.
　But... it was already too late.
　After a few seconds, Ray, Elena, Vihela, and Sett had no difficulty catching up with the Ajas.
　Suddenly, Ray's death-size blade touches the back of Ajas' neck.
　It's midsummer and it's hot enough to be called a tropical night, yet the blade touching Ajas' neck was as cold as ice.
　The coldness left Ajas speechless.
　Ajas is not the only one who is stuck. The same was true of Lebedev.
　I had the tip of a twilight spear pointed to my face, and if I moved a little, it would easily penetrate my head... no, it was obvious that it would break.
　With arms in his hands holding them still, Ray opens his mouth with a smile worthy of a derision.

"There's nothing to hurry about, is there? Take it easy. -- yes, slowly."
