"Hey, Ray! You said you'd catch the commander as unharmed as possible! Why are you blowing your right hand away all of course.
"You can talk, so there's no problem."

　Coming out of the woods, Ray and Lutus walk arguing like that.
　...don't run, but take slow steps.
　Naturally, if you do so, those in and around Rajaras will notice their existence.
　To be precise, it would be appropriate to call him three and one, including the figure of Yero sitting on Ray's left shoulder and Bune following him from behind.
　There is no one left to guard the Lutas.
　The guards were sent into the cave where Vihela was to explain the situation.
　The guards naturally resisted leaving Lutus' side, but there was no denying element in Lutus's words, 'There is no safer place than Lutus's side.
　In fact, for the guards who saw Ray's power with their own eyes, they were convinced that it was safer to be on Ray's side, even if it was right in the middle of the battlefield.
　When Ray hears it, he tries to say something, but... he eventually breathes out and goes with Lutus to the place he finds out from the soldier without saying anything more.
　In other words, a command post outside the forest.
　However, I didn't expect to have such a beautiful tent, and at first I even suspected it was a trap.
　What went wrong was that there was a great man with a long sword in his hand, so he judged that he was a great man and threw a disposable spear.
　It was not the spear of twilight, but of disposable use, because he did not like the blood of that noble to stick to the spear of twilight.
　Anyway, that's why Ray and Lutus were now walking out of the woods towards the tent.
　and, of course, the men of the bodyguard would soon be ready to intercept him.

(It's too late)

　A suspicious person... no, since the supposedly great man has already been attacked, Ray and Lutus may be perceived as enemies.
　But it was clearly too late for the guards to act.
　At the very least, a soldier in the kingdom of Mileana could well be reprimanded by his superior.

(It may be unavoidable in a small country like Levreina.)

　In the first place, we don't even have a great chance to fight.
　No matter how much training you had, it was fatal that you had no real experience or had little experience in fighting.
　...but the soldiers have a point to make.
　In the heat of midsummer, I was kept standing outside the tent in the midst of the intense direct sunlight.
　What's more, it's a typical nobleman like Rajarus who defends.
　His physical strength is exhausted by the heat, and his motivation is greatly diminished by Rajarus' words and actions.
　It was impossible to tell them to move quickly in such a situation.
　But given that he was stationed here as a bodyguard, it is imperative that he protect Rajaras.
　That's even when you're told to protect Rajarus, who is pierced by something -- Ray's spear, to be exact -- and whose right arm has blown away somewhere by the shock.

"Who is it? If you get any closer, you'll be considered an enemy."
"...if you don't get any nearer, isn't it your enemy?"

　Wondering at the restraining words of his bodyguard, Ray asks.
　The person who said it might not have expected such a remark to come back to me, but he stopped working.
　He thought that he would attack me in defiance of his words.
　But Ray really stopped there, so I don't know what to do.
　Since Rajaras was seriously injured in the loss of his right hand, the truth is that he would not be able to stop here.

"Well, that's..."

　be at a loss for words
　I didn't know what to say from here.
　If we manage to bring the matter up here in a friendly way, we won't have to kill each other here.
　Suddenly, the soldier talking to Ray thinks about it.
　It will never be wrong.
　No, in terms of damage, it's the best thing to say so.
　The best option for soldiers, at least.
　However, it is only the best for soldiers.
　Others…to the aristocracy here, the common sense has harmed the aristocracy.
　There was no aristocrat here who could afford it.

"You commoners!"

　One of Rajaras' followers was the first to attack Ray.
　There was a rapier in his hand that seemed to have been pulled out of his waist sheath.
　But if not as sharp as Rajarus, the fat aristocrat's thrust is not Ray... and that's only sharp enough to be easily avoided by a lower-ranked adventurer in Gilm.
　In fact, Ray evades the thrust with plenty of leeway.
　a sudden appearance of an amateur in battle
　I was momentarily at a loss how to react to the act.
　If you want to kill someone, that's just enough power to make you think it's easier to kill than breathe.
　Ray's slight hesitation in the face of such a presence was probably largely due to his unexpected behavior.
　Despite seeing Rajaras' right shoulder pierced and his right arm blown away, Ray has no idea why this nobleman is so confident.
　But how did he misunderstand Ray's embarrassment, the aristocrat, with rapier in his hand, opens his mouth with a smile worthy of an overconfidence.

"Oh, it seems to me that it's quite common people's business to avoid my rapier. But don't think you'll be able to avoid my thrust, which is called lightning!"

　With the words, the nobility again thrusts a rapier at Ray.
　But Ray paused for a moment when he saw the thrust.
　That's because the rapier's thrust was, as he said, lightning fast... but it's not a matter of course.

"A bolt of lightning?"

　mutter and shake one's death size
　The next moment, the man's right arm flutters through the air holding a rapier.
　There is no man at the tip of the spinning right arm.
　That means the man's right shoulder was cut off by death size.

"A lightning bolt at this rate? At least you call yourself lightning bolt after I hit you."
"Oh... oh..."

　A quick and odd death-size blow delivered at what he called a lightning speed was too sharp to notice the pain of the man having his arm amputated.
　But it's Ray's muttering and... above all, seeing his right arm fall to the ground, I can't help but understand the circumstances.
　And if you understand the current situation, the pain of having your arm amputated will naturally spring up... and suddenly.

"Oh... oh... oh... oh, oh!

　Screaming, the aristocratic man presses his left arm against his right shoulder.
　But there's nothing there that should have been.
　It's natural, isn't it? The right arm, which was supposed to be there, is lying on the ground.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch."

　The mouth of a noble man spouts what could be called despair.
　But the despair was natural.
　The State of Lavrellina is one of the smallest of the tributaries of the Kingdom of Mileana.
　In such a small country, it is difficult to prepare a magic item prosthetic hand that would be mistaken for a real one, let alone a part that would hold the amputated right arm together.
　No, if you were a superior nobleman in the country of Lavrellina, you might be able to manage it, but unfortunately the only ones here are the viscounts and their entourage, who would have been the fastest to count among the nobleman's entourage.
　If they were asked if they could get an elaborate magic hand... it would be impossible.

"d*mn it, do you think you can do this to me and to the nobles?"

　The man shouts, holding his right shoulder with his left hand.
　Tears come from the eyes, nose, mouth, mouth, mouth, etc. He screams while spitting out liquids from every part of his face, but it is not acceptable to be called a noble.

"Well, what do you think?" Did you think you would never attack me in the first place? ... not to mention lightning, but with that kind of sting that worms wriggle."

　When Ray says something, he receives a portion from his bodyguard, and the aristocrats glare at him, hanging it on his right shoulder.
　The reason it is somewhat effective is probably because the soldiers stationed here guarded the nobility.
　Even though the amputated arm could not be attached, it seems to have stopped the blood and relieved some of the pain.A noble man described as writh-stretching tries to say something with a red face.
　But when Ray turned the tip of his twilight spear in his right hand and said that it was foolish to deal with such a noble, the noble man could not speak any more, perhaps because he remembered the pain he had felt for the first time in his life.

"Well, I need you to give me a lot of information.

　Ray's gaze was not on the two nobles who lost their right arm together, but on the other nobles who were satisfied.
　Ray, who doesn't consider the aristocrat as a noble, and who cut off his right arm as easily as if he were cutting weeds, has a pale complexion and is unable to speak.
　We're noblemenough.
　Ordinary people like garbage should never be harmed.
　That's what I thought, and in fact, to the men who had lived like that until today, Ray was nothing but an absolutely eerie presence.
　the barons and bodyguards who can't speak at all
　Ray opens his mouth as he looks at them.

"Rabulina and Jaya must be joining hands. But how did this happen?"
"Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

　One of Rajaras' followers screams at Ray's words.
　I had a strong fear of Ray... and I had a feeling that I didn't know what he was going to do, but as a nobleman in the country of Lavrellina, I couldn't accept Ray's words honestly.

"... oh,"

　Ray muttered to the aristocrat.
　As he muttered, Rajaras's circle, accusing Ray of his words, made a momentary scare.
　I was afraid I might be attacked, too, but Ray didn't express any irritation.

(I can see that some aristocrats don't know that Jaya is connected to the upper classes of the country. But if you were to attack the Jaya, wouldn't it be normal to send someone who knew the situation, or did you think that you could command the annihilation war because you didn't know the situation?)

　If you are connected to a jaya, you may be tempted for some reason to destroy it.
　But if you don't know anything about the relationship between the countries of Lavrina and Jaya, you can't do anything about it.
　It wasn't impossible for Ray to understand the possibility that someone who thought he would cut off with Jaya made such a decision.
　However, the relationship between us is close to an open secret.
　If you don't know that... maybe you could only prepare someone like Rajaras.

(In that case, I think there is a possibility that the operation will fail because the person who is commanding the unit is incompetent.)

　In fact, this is how we are cornered the Rajaras... with death-size and twilight spears in our hands, Ray looks at those in front of him.
　When he turns his eyes again, the man who tells Ray not to play around also turns his eyes away.
　He could have taken advantage of the momentum and yelled at Ray, but when the momentum calmed down, he probably couldn't say anything.
　The guards remained silent, too, judging that if they said something, it could have the worst consequences would be worse.
　Soldiers who come back from the woods, who may make a fuss at Ray, are being knocked unconscious by their guards.

"Well... what are you going to do with them? Are you going to kill them all?"

　Ray would turn to Lutus and ask him so.
