`Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!'

　A woman who looked like an oak swung her fist breathlessly, but... she was already covered with wounds, and her movements were slow.
　At first he had a weapon, but in the course of the battle it was also destroyed by a blow from Vihela.
　Still, he would have fought well if he had fought against Vichela.
　Despite the fact that all of their companions had already fallen to the ground, only the oak-like woman was still fighting against Vihela in a conscious manner.
　However, it was a figure worthy of being called a total wound.

"I enjoyed the fight with you quite a bit,"

　Avoiding the blow of an oak-like woman, Vihela walks past her and tells her briefly and wags her fist lightly.
　A blow that only looks like a jab in Ray's eyes.
　But the blow is exactly like biting the tip of her chin, and the next moment the oak-like woman is violently shaken and knocked unconscious.
　I couldn't stand Vihela's blow, as I was barely standing.
　Falling unconscious to the ground, the battle over the gate quietly ends.

"Well done... I don't think you're tired."

　While Vichela and Elena are fighting downhill, Ray says and hands over a glass of cold fruit water.
　Despite, as Ray said, a fierce battle, Vihela's face didn't look tired at all.
　It's almost impossible to imagine that he himself enjoyed the fight to the full.

"Well, I enjoyed it to some extent... well, there are giants left, and let's not say any more now." So what are you going to do now?"

　In Vihela, the fight against a woman resembling Oak is probably over.
　Without saying anything more, he turned to Ray and asked.
　When asked, Ray looked at the prisoner before opening his mouth.
　Realizing what he was looking for, the man hurried to the gate.
　Ray might wonder if he was going to run away like this for a second, but it's true that he couldn't run away in this situation.
　That being the case, I look at the man's behavior wondering what he's going to do.
　It was the same for others, staring at what the man would do.
　The man fiddles with the wall by the gate, and the door opens.
　Watching it, Ray wondered for a moment whether it was an automatic door, but the door never opened even when he was standing in front of the door, so if the word automatic door was appropriate, he had to tilt his head.

(Well, this is probably a kind of magic item... I don't need this.)

　The main reason for the attack on this underground facility, which is considered to be one of the most important facilities in Jaya, is that it uses prostitutes to create giants, and this is unforgivable, but at the same time it was aimed at stealing magic items owned by Jaya.
　Having prepared so many slave collars, Ray, who was thinking of many other magic items, suddenly turned his gaze to the dead and unconscious by the door.

"Strange,"
"Magic item?"

　It was Marina who immediately responded to Ray's muttered words.
　This neighborhood is probably due to years of adventurous experience.

"Oh, Jaya has a lot of magic items. If you look at the collar of a slave... and look at this door, it's no mistake. But how come the people who kept this door were called the finest of the jayas, and didn't have one of the magic items?"

　At Ray's words, everyone at the scene sees those lying near the gate.
　He then realized that Ray's words were true.
　It is especially strong for the people who actually fought, such as Elena and Vihela.
　Magic items are very expensive, but they have enough performance for the price.
　Of course, some people in the world hate magic items, but such people are rare.
　At least, it's hard to imagine that everyone in front of Ray's eyes hates magic items.

"...Ray is right. It's strange."

　Elena muttered in agreement with Ray.

"I don't know by what means Jaya is getting magic items, but it's not surprising to give some sort of magic weapon to the so-called elite."
"Oh. ... Hey, what's going on there?"

　Ray asks the man who was operating the door.
　The man was one of the elite defenders of the building leading to the underground installation.
　Such a person could normally have one or two magic items.
　The man shakes his head at Ray's words, who once again has such doubts, saying that he knows nothing.

"But I don't know! For now, we've never received any magic items from above!"

　The appearance doesn't sound like a lie, if anything.
　If you had some kind of magic item in the first place, it's very likely that you didn't have to beg the Reyes for their lives.

"...I don't think you've told a lie." The door is open, and it's just right. I should like to hear some information from you about here."

　Ray's gaze was directed at the open end of the door... toward the passage which was large enough for a carriage to pass through.
　The man probably knows he's in danger if he doesn't give information here. open one's mouth with a confused nod

"All right! All right, I'll tell you everything! So help me!"
"Well, first of all, let's hear about the strength of the troops in this facility." and there will be other entrances and exits in this institution."
"As far as I know, there must be some more who have the same strength as them."

　They... It wasn't a way of calling one's company, but it was only natural for a man to want to say that he and the Jaya were different beings.
　Otherwise, perhaps... no, I'm sure I'll be saved now, but ultimately killed.

"As much as they are," Then there seems to be no particular problem."

　not to mention giants
　Whilst muttering these words in your heart, you decide that you should hear them at the end of the day, and call out to the man again.

"And as for all the other entrances,"
"Well, that's... I'm sorry, I don't know,"
"...let's stop joking. You're using it because you have information. If you don't have any information, you don't have to keep it alive..."

"Wait! I'm really an elite person, but I'm just a soldier to Jaya after all! I can't have any important information on the entrances that lead to anything else.

　a frantically screams
　Is the man telling the truth, or does he think he'll be killed by Jaya if he talks about the doorway... even Ray doesn't know.
　But it was clear that the man still didn't seem to share the information.
　If you continue to take a man with you, you're likely to be betrayed at a crucial point.
　Then would you kill him? Ray thought so, but it was also true that the information he had was important.

"Ray,"

　Then Elena, who appears as if to calm Ray down, calls his name.

"I know. ... Then it's next." What's going on down this aisle?"
"If you keep going beyond the gate, you will find a number of rooms."
"Room? What room?""It's a lot of things. I don't know the details either. As I said before, there is no doubt that an elite person is only one soldier after all."
"…I see. So what kind of warehouse does Jaya keep her magic items?"
"I know it's in a few places, but the organization should know only a handful of warehouses in the real sense. How much is that slave collar?"
"No,"

　Ray says, interrupting the man's words.

"What I want is not a slave collar. Other than that, it's a practical weapon of the kind, such as a magic sword."

　I don't want a slave collar, either.
　Especially in Ray's case, he often tries to hunt thieves when they encounter them.
　That being the case, the collar of a slave is a very useful tool for taking a thief who didn't kill him to a nearby town or village to sell him as a criminal slave.
　After all, however, there is only a slave collar, not something you really want.

"Of course there are places like that, but I don't think you know that you're a very senior member of the organization, or you're not a professional member of course."
"Then you are of no use?"
"As for that!"

　With his own reluctance to be killed, the man immediately returns so.
　If I hadn't said it in one breath, I'd have thought that my life had disappeared here.
　The judgment is by no means wrong.
　In the first place, the Ray's understanding is that they can kill just because they belong to Jaya.
　Now I'm just making use of it because I want even a little information, and if I don't have it, I don't mind killing it.
　Perhaps men are trying to survive because they understand it.

"Then what do you know?"
"Giant... I know a thing or two about the giant you're talking about!"

　Did you feel the Ray's keen interest in the Giants, or was it accidental?
　At any rate, words from the man's mouth slightly discourage him from thinking about whether he should get rid of the man in Ray.

"Tell me. If it's satisfactory, I can guarantee your life."
"Really? No matter how unpleasant it is to you?"
"... oh,"

　After a few seconds of silence, Ray nods back to the man's words.
　The man hesitated a little at the sight of Ray... before long he spoke.

"I've heard this story, and I understand that I didn't check it out thoroughly."

　Afterwards, when the man tells me that he is not going to be killed for telling me that the story is different, I confirm that Ray and his colleagues nod... the man continues.

"First of all, prostitutes give birth to the giants. It seems that the prostitutes were originally brought here to give birth to the giants."
"Predictedly?" But why are giants born? The prostitute here is just an ordinary person, isn't she? Her father... well, maybe he's a human, or a beast, or an elf, or a dwarf, but he's not a giant. But why a giant?"

　The reason was mostly Ray, but he still asks again.
　I wanted to get information from people from Jaya, since the information I collected was from people other than Jaya.
　...however, in this case, it's only human history information, not in the sense Ray wants.

"I've heard that the collar of a slave worn by a prostitute is effective."
"...that if a man hugs you with a slave collar on, you'll have a giant?"

　Marina asks the man to interrupt Ray.
　His tone was gentle, but his eyes glistened coldly and he stared at him.
　A man in awe of Marina's words, he decides that he needs to speak somehow to survive and opens his mouth.

"Oh, yes. That's what I heard."
"If you ignore the will of the user and let him listen to the instructions, it changes the will of the user itself. And they can produce such a large amount and give birth to giants. Wouldn't it not be called the collar of a slave any more?"

　Marina's words nodded in agreement with others who had heard it.
　In fact, it's definitely a little too much to call a slave collar.

"That may be the case," But it seems to be true that there are many conditions."
"...conditions?"
"Oh, everything away from mejogo... even if I let a man hold a prostitute in a loch, it was an ordinary person who was born."
"In other words, there is something in this place called Mejogo?"

　The man nodded silently to Marina, who asked for confirmation.
