The day after they had spoken to Dusker in pairs, the Rays were being revisited by a certain person.
　Just after breakfast in the dining room, I was going to see what was going on in the mejogo and attack him if there was no problem.
　As night is the real time of the day, this time of the morning is definitely the middle of the night for regular workers.
　Therefore, Ray predicted that he would have less power to resist than to attack at night.
　Of course, such a time does not mean that there is no defense available.
　If this time is close to midnight for the inhabitants of Mejogo, it's only natural to be wary of it.
　I've been told that I'm going to work with the resistance a little bit, but I'm not going to put much emphasis on it as long as last night's Dusker told me to do whatever I want.
　But if the Reys attack Mejogo, it's definitely going to be a big uproargument.
　Marina also suggested that cooperation from the large resistance is essential in terms of reducing the number of injuries and deaths caused by the disturbances as much as possible.
　In fact, Ray and his men are truly capable enough to be called "one horse, one horse, one horse, one horse," but in terms of number, there is no doubt that they are small.
　That being the case, when a commotion breaks out in a city as big as a mejogo, if people ask me if I can do anything to prevent accidents... I don't think I'll get the answer.
　Marina's Spiritual Magic is powerful enough to be universal, but it doesn't make impossible possible.
　Wouldn't it be better to have the Resistance in charge of that area?
　We had a visitor as we spoke.

"Thank you very much for yesterday, Mr. Ray," I never thought he was a notorious adventurer... and it took me a while to find him."

　Ray was familiar with the person who bowed his head with a friendly smile.
　The man who saved the thief from being attacked yesterday... there was Lutus was there.

"It was a Rutus," and yet you know I'm here."

　Ray didn't mention, when he saved her yesterday, that she was Ray, exactly the adventurer of the Millennium and nicknamed crimson.
　Appearances alone make it impossible to link Ray to crimson, partly because of the dragon lobe cover-up.
　Moreover, he didn't have a partner, Seto, who was a symbol of Ray.

(Maybe it's because I showed you the mistiling, but if you tell me if it's a real item box... it'll be difficult.)

　Magic items, which should be called item box degradation, are on the market, albeit in their own.
　It should have been difficult to tell if it was an item box or a degraded version by looking at Ray's mistiling.
　For those reasons Ray couldn't understand why Lutus found him...

"I'm still a merchant, so I'm collecting a lot of information. Then it would not be so difficult to find Ray. --and many things stand out."
"Really? No, I know it's obvious, but I think it's hard to find me."

　Ray's muttering is by no means wrong.
　If these were beautiful women like Elena, Marina and Vihela, it wouldn't be hard to find.
　However, Ray's case is almost inconspicuous compared to the other three, partly because he wears a dragon lobe hood.
　It must have been quite difficult to spot Ray as Ray, as Dragon Robe was also inconspicuous by the effect of the cover-up.

"That's because there's a network of merchants." I'm glad I was able to surprise you."

　With a refreshing smile on his face, Ray is convinced what it is to be a merchant.
　But only Elena and Marina didn't fully believe Lutus' words.
　The merchants' information network is a poor nobleman... on the contrary, it's definitely superior to the royals.
　Of course, however, there is a big difference between the information networks owned by merchants in the small country of Levlarina and that of merchants in the Kingdom of Milliana.
　You must have felt uncomfortable there.

"Well, merchants are amazing. "And what do you want to do today, perhaps, only yesterday?"
"No, of course, since I am a merchant, I am looking for a reasonable profit to come here." By the way, Mr. Ray. Why would a famous adventurer like Ray come to such a small country, if I could help him?"

　Ray shakes his head as he asks with a friendly smile.

"No, I came here because I had a small request, but it's over. However, I've been busy lately, so I'm taking a break now. You don't have to worry about it."
"Is that so? I had Mr. Ray save my life yesterday. I wish I could repay your kindness. It's a pity. Oh, but come to my store if anything happens. I'll help you as much as I can."

　So telling him, Lutus indicated the name of a store just off the main street.
　However, the Rays had just come to Rossi, and they didn't know exactly where the place described by Lutus was, so they only knew where it was.

"Well, I'll drop in if I need anything. Is that all right?"
"Yes. Of course I'll pay for it, but I'll study as much as I can."

　Saying so, he bowed and stood up and walked out of Ray's room.
　Seeing it off, Ray looks at the people in the room.

"Well, what do you think?"

　There was only one word muttered, but the meaning of that word was great.

"Well, was it Lutus? He didn't seem to be training himself."

　The first person to speak was Vihela.
　He probably wasn't very interested in Lutus because he wasn't a particularly strong opponent.

"Well, I heard you're moving to town or village, so you're more trained than people living in town... that's about it."

　Marina muttered, wondering if she agreed to Viehla's words.
　Marina's tone, however, is slightly questionable.
　Recognizing this, Elena opens her mouth with a glamorous smile.

"I don't think there was anything suspicious about it, but I'm sure there was something about it."
"Yes, that's how it feels. It's just a hunch."

　Marina nods in agreement to Elena's words.
　My intuition... I have various intuitions, such as a woman's intuition and an adventurer's intuition, but that intuition doesn't mean anything at all.
　That's something that anyone who's risking their life, including adventurers, understands as a matter of course.
　That being the case, I couldn't say that Lutus was a safe opponent.
　Of course, it is impossible to decide everything by intuition alone.
　But... for the Ray's now, if Lutus were suspicious, he would be connected to it. The most likely thing is...

"Yes, sir,"
"I don't have any proof," But I don't think the possibility is low."

　Marina's words make everyone nod.
　Having entered the Rossi so proudly, it was expected from the beginning that their presence would be known to Jaya.
　I suspect Jaya had sent Lutus to see what was going on with the Lays.
　Nobody disagrees with Marina telling her so.

"You mean it was just as they wanted to help Lutus, who was being attacked by thieves?"
"I don't know... what do you think?" I don't think so. But I can't deny the possibility that Lutus was sent because Lutus and Ray got to know each other about it."Ray nods convincingly when he says that Lutus has been sent because he happens to know Ray.

"Anyway, if they recognize us, it's hard to move over time. I think we need to act as soon as possible."
"Well, why don't you cooperate with the resistance?"
"What do you think?" If it takes time for them to act, we can cooperate. It's about time I got back to you, given that Norcol has been running since yesterday."

　Yesterday, today, Ray doesn't know where the Resistance is operating.
　I mean, as long as I place importance on the case of mejogo, of course I understand that my main focus is working in mejogo.
　However, there is only resistance, and it is difficult for the Rays to contact unless they come in contact.

(Should I talk to Eun-chuu? ...Will that be faster as a result?)

　For Ray and others, there is only a connection with the resistance, and when it comes to contacting them right away, there is only Eun-chu.
　He was an informant, but he didn't have to worry about leaking information because he was hostile to Jaya.

"I'm going to Eun-chuo's place. What do you do?"
"Even if you say so... there's nothing particular to do if you're left here now." I'll go with you. What about the Elenas?"
"I'll go with you, too." I need to report this matter to my family, just in case. I'd like to know if it's important."
"I won't," It was a little late yesterday, and I'm still a little sleepy, so I'm sleeping in my room."
"Yes,"

　Bune muttering briefly as usual in Vihela's words.
　The Reys didn't understand the meaning, but Vihela seemed to understand it as a matter of course.
　open one's mouth a little dumbfounded

"Bune wants to buy and eat a lot of things at stalls." -- well, that's no problem, is there?"

　Rey nods back to Vihela, who asks her to confirm.
　Bune is a bandit, but specialized in fighting power.
　There was confidence that anyone in this country would be able to deal with it, let alone someone as strong as the Ray's.





　Leutus, leaving the inn where the Rays are staying, walks straight down the road with a smile on his face.
　Lutus was just walking, but as he walked, one man after another appeared around him.
　Nevertheless, Lutus remains smiling softly and doesn't seem to be afraid of the men around him.
　It's only natural that the men are not enemies of Lutus, but guards.

"So young. How was it?"

　One of the guards timidly asks.
　For the man behind the guard, it's a matter of complete reluctance to antagonize Ray and his companions.
　That's half the rumor that Ray's strength is circulating... or even a tenth of it, because we know we can't do anything about it.
　To the point where you think that if you're going to be hostile to Ray, you'd better start a fight with the neighboring countries of Levlarina.
　...and of course, if you do so, there is no guarantee of your life. I don't have one, but... it still seems a few steps better than fighting the Reys.
　But the man's wish for such a bodyguard is simply denied by Lutus.

"It's only a matter of time, isn't it? Perhaps in the near future... that's what we might do in the next few days at the earliest."

　The words make not only the man who spoke to Lutus but also the other men look pale.
　However, the reason why Lutus was wrong at this point was that he had considered the number of days before the Rays took action based on his own common sense.
　When a certain group of people, including the Jaya to which Lutus belongs, takes action, they must gather supplies, gather people, gather information, and then plan the attack.
　In comparison, the Rays have the fighting power of individuals who can do anything about a city, and because they are small, there are few necessities, and there is also a storehouse called Mistilling.
　You don't have to come up with any particular plan, as you have the ability to do something about it by force.
　The difference in perception around here is probably due to the difference in perception between Lutus, who lived in the small country of Lavrellina, and Ley, who lived in the great kingdom of Mileana.
　However, it was fortunate that Ley's idea did not become a fatal mistake because he and his colleagues had a perception that they did not like to attack and damage unrelated opponents.
