Ray was flying in the summer sky on a set.
　What you can see on the ground is the woods around Subursta.
　Some places are visible to Ray.
　Ray doesn't know whether it's a thief or an adventurer.
　Two days ago, when I passed over here, I found people who clearly seemed to be a group of people from Ray's point of view, and they were actually bandits.
　Ray had expected that the band would slow down a little after he had crushed three bands of thieves, but as far as the sky could see, the band of people considered to be bandits is moving around normally.

"Well, today the number of robbers will be greatly reduced,"

　Understandably, it is the work of the guilds, guards and knights of Subursta to subdue the bandits around Subursta.
　But the sub-bruster doesn't do it.
　No, it's right that there's been a request in the guild to hunt down thieves, but it's completely out of hand.
　As a result, the bandits were allowed to jump, and the goods that were supposed to be transported to Gilm were lost.
　That's why Dusker decided to put down the bandits.
　Of course, it is not through Subursta... but because of the fact that the merchants and job seekers who come to Gilm are being attacked by thieves, Gilm asks them to subdue them.
　It doesn't go through the guild of Subursta, so there's no claim. ...Of course, the guild of Subursta would find it boring, but the guild's power relationship was overwhelming between Guillum and Subursta.
　In fact, the guild of Subursta has the power to do so.
　That's natural, isn' Subursta is a very remote city.
　There are quite a few skilled and skilled adventurers.
　But... compared to Abuero, which is closer to the frontier, and Gilm, which is deeper in the frontier, the quality of an adventurer is far inferior.
　The Ray's current behavior was also a clear indication of the area.

"Glu?"

　Ray looks around as Seto purrs, "Isn't it about time?"
　There are not that many merchants and adventurers on the road.
　The thieves who were aiming for it were no longer around.

(If there were thieves attacking the merchant corps, I could tell at a glance that they were the ones to hunt. ... well, I'm going to hunt for thieves all day today, and I don't mind. There are other thieves besides us who hunt for them, so there is no reason why they cannot be found.)

　Today's bandit hunt is to be attended by several other talented adventurers besides the wings of Ray's Red Lotus.
　...not the day after the Ray's return, but perhaps the day after, was also considered for the movement of the adventurers involved.

"Well, first of all, I'll drop the basket out of the way. and there will be no particular problem if you put the set basket in the mistling."
"Grull!"

　Ray says he understands, and Seth goes straight down to the ground.

"I'm going to take it down, so be careful not to be shocked!"

　Just in case, he calls out to the basket... and a few seconds later the casket is dropped to the ground.
　If anyone had passed by here, I would have felt the shock.
　Then, as Seto descends to the ground, Ray sees the people coming out of the basket.
　Elena, Marina, Vihela, Bune and Arra, and Yero in Elena's arms.
　It's only natural that the people who came down from the cages are not tired, since they haven't had enough time since they started from Gilm.
　However, the set basket is relaxing inside.
　It's just as comfortable as half a day's travel.

"And what are you going to do now, Ray? Have you found where the thieves are?"

　Ray nods to Elena, who looks fierce and glamorous, with conflicting smiles.

"Oh, I've found some suspicious places from above. So, as I told you yesterday, you mean you're going to act in two separate ways from here?"
"Well, given the number of robbers lurking around, I'm sure it's the best. Is that all right?"
"Yes, it's all right,"

　In response to Elena's confirmatory question, Marina nods that there is no problem.
　In fact, considering the adventurers that would come from Subursta, there is no doubt that they still need as much help as possible.
　In the midst of this, it is true that it is a waste to have a group of talented people like Ray act together in a military sense.
　It's only natural that Ray and Sett, the rest of us... should act in such a way as to avoid it.
　There was, however, a question of what to do with the treasure that the thieves had accumulated, but Elena had a magic pouch that could be described as a cheap item in the box.
　With it, it should have been possible to store certain treasures.
　If I couldn't put it in a magic pouch, I'd call Ray... or I'd have to load him into a carriage the thief would be using.
　The robbers, of course, need to convert the goods they obtained by attacking the merchants into money.
　Alternatively, they may be exchanged directly for food or sake, but anyway, they need a means of transporting them.
　One way to get them to come to their base is to exchange them, but from the standpoint of thieves, they want to keep their base as secret as possible.
　If we don't do well, we may be able to sell our base to those business partners.
　For this reason it was only natural for the robbers to prepare a carriage.

"Well, that's the way it is," ... oh, there was a group of people in the woods over there, so maybe we could attack them from there. I'd like to reduce the number of thieves as much as possible before anyone else comes. In a profitable sense, too."

　In addition to the usual rewards, the request also includes goods and weapons owned by thieves, as well as goods used for building extensions.
　Naturally, they are the property of the adventurer who overthrew the thief and are additional rewards.
　But as an adventurer, weapons don't need that much, let alone jewelry. Furthermore, it would only be a distraction for adventurers to receive supplies for building an extension to the guillem.
　For these reasons, Dusker is contracted to buy the goods from adventurers, albeit slightly below average.
　This was a deal that would only benefit both adventurers and guillems who wanted to get as much material as possible for extension work.
　though it was nothing but a great loss to the robber who had usurped the goods."Few merchants survive being attacked by thieves.
　It's only natural. It's common sense as a thief to reduce the amount of evidence that they've done, and above all, with so many thieves currently operating around here, it's impossible to let security guards know their information as much as possible.
　If no one survives, the very fact that they were attacked by thieves will disappear, resulting in zero damage to them.
　However, every time it doesn't work out that way, many people run away from the bandits, and the information from them spreads to places like Subursta, Abuero, and Gilm, resulting in this kind of situation.

"You might be jealous of us if we earn too much?"
"I don't think a Gillum adventurer, who was chosen to hunt for thieves, would do such a thing."

　If anyone is jealous of them, that's why they don't want to antagonize them in a situation where they're working in guillem.
　Former guildmaster Marina to the notorious Ray. ...and, above all, the mascot character of Guillum.
　It's easy to imagine what would happen if we made enemies of them.
　If you're not good at it... No, it's hard to work in guillem even if you're not bad at it.
　It never occurred to me that Gilm's adventurer, who knew it, would make something of the Ray's.

"...I don't think so, either." But if you're really cornered, you don't know what you're going to do, do you think there's nothing you can do to be considerate of course.
"Well, then... if the robbers you're trying to hunt overlap, I'll give them up as much as I can." Is that all right?"
"Yes. I think that's enough consideration."
"I don't want to back down if I have a strong opponent."

　Complaining about Marina's words is Vihela, who was looking forward to fighting the bandits.
　It wasn't funny to be interrupted by petty jealousy.
　With a discontented look on her face, Ray opens his mouth to appease her."What adventurers want is a treasure of thieves. Then it's Vichela who will defeat the thief, and will hand over the treasure, isn't it?"
"Right?"

　Vichela smiles broadly and snaps at Ray's words.
　However, Ray, who came up with the idea, doesn't think it'll be as easy as he wants.
　With celebrities such as Elena and Marina, it will be difficult to accept the idea of defeating thieves and letting them hand over their treasures.
　Of course, some people have no problem in that area, and some people will be grateful for their good fortune and receive the treasure.
　...contrary to Vichela, who was happy with a good idea, Bune, whose aim was to make money, was dissatisfied, albeit without expression.

"Anyway, do your best there. ...then don't go with me. set."
"Gruly!"

　Ray's words make Seto cry and turn his back.
　Then, when he sees Ray on his back, Seto runs up into the sky in a few steps.
　Looking up above the ground on Seto's back, Marina waves to Ray, Elena and Arra look to Ray, and Vichela and Bune are going in the direction Ray indicated to find the thief.

"Well, then, we'll look for the thief, too." Seto, please look for it together. But I'd prefer a veteran thief, not a thief who has just come here, who hasn't clearly camouflaged himself."
"Glu? Glu!"

　Seto muttered that he was confused by Ray's words for a moment, but he still said that he understood what Ray said.

(It's hard to find an experienced thief.) We should be able to find it from above, so we need to take the initiative in subduing it. -- well, if only they could find it, Elena would be able to knock it down without any problems.)

　That's how Ray thinks, and all of a sudden Seto's throat rings.
　Following his gaze, Ray looks at places that seem to be no different from ordinary forests... but he doesn't seem to have any particular discomfort.
　But now that Sett has found it, he signals that... that there is probably a thief, that he should step down.
　As I lowered my altitude, I soon saw the light reflected in the gaps between the branches of the tree.
　Ray didn't have to wonder what it was.
　Weapons or protective gear. They must have been hiding it with tree branches.
　Just flying normally would not have noticed the light of the metal.
　But if flying was Seto, who had more senses than humans, it was a different story.

"Gul-l-r-r-r-r-r-r!"

　Just as Seto screams, Ray leaps off Seto's back.
　It was still a leap above the tree's tip, but with Ray's Slapnil shoes, the height would be insignificant.
　Along the way, Ray managed to kill the speed by kicking it through the air and landed on the ground with little sound.
　As she fell, she saw a naked woman with her wrists overlaid on the trunk of a tree and daggered. but it is obvious that she is already dead when you see that there are several daggers stuck in her body, and that she is still motionless.

"What!? Huh?"
"It's too late. The outside road."

　As soon as he lands, he pulls his death-size out of the Mistilling and suddenly appears before him... no, surprised by Seto's cry, wields it at the body of a completely confused thief.

"What?"

　With a stupid voice, the upper body of the thief's man deviates... and falls apart, scattering his internal organs around him.
　Thus the worst hour for the thief began.
