1796 seventeen-sixth episode



The moment Ray's words rang around him, Geiska stopped moving.
 the noble blood of the Marquis family
 It was Gaiska's pride and pride that he was descended from.
 That's why I had to show my superiority to my inferior counterpart.
 But what did Ray say now?
 He said that he could only boast of his inferior lineage.
 It was a mockery of the existence of the Marquis of Seysor, a phrase that Geiska could never accept... that should never have been accepted.
 Until recently, Rey had completely ignored her presence, but if she was told something that would affect her pride, she couldn't leave it alone.
 If we were to go down here without telling Ray, it would be a disgrace to the noble Marquis of Seysore.

"Wait! Come on, Geiska, calm down a little, eh? This is the Duke of Kelebel's residence. If you pretend to make a fuss here, you'll have a bad taste."

 Geiska tries to say something to Ray, but Lanigs stops before he actually says it.
 I was hoping to turn Ray's feelings toward me by hitting Geiska and Ray, but it must have been completely unexpected for Lanigs to see such a sudden, full-scale clash.
 But I can't stand back in silence because my bloodline... my greatest point of standing on which I stand.

"Shut up! You've been made a fool of by the adventurous spirit, though you're notorious! You can't leave it alone!"

 Already, Geiska's tone is not what it was to be seen in the face of Elena.
 The scene of Ray's hateful glaring at him, which is usually the case with the aristocracy... and of the Marquis' bloodline, might well be frightened and frightened.
 That was the scene, but unfortunately Ray is now in front of Gaiska.
 a man famous for not hesitating to commit violence, even if his opponent is a nobleman
 They look at each other without showing any sign of stepping back.
 Geiska looks at Ray with a hateful stare, and Ray looks at him as if he were looking at a pebble falling there.
 ...at this time, Lanigs was trying to calm only Gaiska, but of course Ray felt very uncomfortable with Gaiska.
 In some cases, he made fun of his hometown in this world, and Gillum, who is actively working together to build an extension, and he insulted Arla, who he considers his companion, in a selfish way.
 He was ready to wield power against Gaiska as soon as he had the chance, just not showing his irritation or anger.

"Leave them alone,"

 Elena tells me if she understood Ray's inner feelings.
 Of course Elena doesn't feel good when she is openly criticized as her best friend and confidante.
 Still, I stopped them because I understood that it was bad enough to cause trouble here.

"Elena! Why stop!? This man is me...No, you insulted me! If you overlook it without doing anything, you'll be ashamed of me... of the Marquis of Seysore!"

 If you are a nobleman, you should stand by yourself.
 But why don't you stand by yourself?
 Elena changes her line of sight to Gaiska, who looks at her like that.
 Elena Kelebel, not as a Duchess, but as a Princess General.
 The gaze of Geiska instantly makes sense of the difference in status between herself and Elena... not of peerage or combat power, but of the difference.

"What!"

 It's not that Elena did anything, she's just looking at me.
 That's all, but Geiska's spine gets cold and sweat wells up from her forehead.
 Then there was the clicking sound in the room.
 The noise was an unpleasant gaisca, but it never stops.
 The Geiska, unable to move, tries to stop the annoying noise... suddenly realizes where it comes from.
 Yes, the source of the clicking noise is the mouth of the Geiska.
 To be precise, it was a tooth that had been chirping unknowingly.
 I'm afraid of Elena.
 The moment I understood it, the pressure I had felt suddenly disappeared.
 Elena turned away from Gaiska.
 Gaiska understands it and takes a few steps back unconsciously.
 Lanigs wonders what happened to Geiska's sudden behavior, which he had been screaming about, but... he realizes there's probably no point in saying it here, and turns his eyes to Ray again.

"I heard that Mr. Ray is from Gilm. If possible, I'd like you to tell me a few stories about the frontier. Would that be all right?"

 Originally, Lanigs intended to make a good impression on Ray by comparing himself to Geiska.
 But before doing so, Geiska's actions, which are almost entirely self-serving, are rendered useless.
 That being the case, I was convinced that there would be no benefit to me if I tried to help Gaiska here.
 That's why I spoke to Ray in such a way that I could easily cut off the Gaiska and build a good relationship with him.
 But that's not the only thing I'd like to hear about Gillum.
 Information, however trivial, sometimes means a lot.
 Especially if it becomes a remote guillem.
 That's why there is an aristocratic quarter in Gilm and a variety of aristocratic residences.
 With the Reyes coming from the guillem, it's only natural that they want to get some information.
 Ray's friendship is partly due to his quick access to the information he needs.
 Of course, Ray's overwhelming strength is paramount to me... and not to go against the royalists.

(In the worst case, I wish you would turn your hostility to anyone other than the faction I belong to...)

 The King's faction is the largest of the three major factions, and there are several factions in the royal faction.
 It is not uncommon to cooperate with aristocrats and neutrals, but to oppose others.
 I'm not happy to be hostile to the royalists, but if that's the case, I want them to at least be outside of the royal faction to which they belong.
 It's no wonder Ranigs thinks so.

"You mean Gilmoo? I think your friend hated Gilmoo."
"Oh, I'm afraid I've misled you. Geiska and I just happened to meet each other when we came to see Elena. Of course, we know each other, but that's about it. In fact, we belong to different factions. In fact, Geiska belongs to the same aristocratic faction as Elena, Geiska.

 Being a member of the aristocracy, it is only natural that Elena should have been looked at.
 For Ranigs, it was also the best outcome of Ray's deterioration in the relationship between the aristocrats... ...but considering Ray's relationship with Elena, I didn't think things would go as well as I wanted.

"Well, there are only aristocrats, and there are people like that,"

 I've been listening to Ray's words in silence... and to be exact, Geiska, who had been unable to move under pressure from Elena, comes back to life.
 ... even in the present situation, it was in a way admirable to be able to recover from Ray's voice.

"You... don't regret bringing shame upon the Marquis of Saysor; I'll make you regret it."
"No, I don't want to regret it or I don't want to. ... Oh, that's enough. Do you want to do it now? Then I can be your partner."

 At Gaiska's words, Ray puts a momentary strain on his gaze.
 It's not as murderous as Elena, and the eye pressure is less intense.
 But for Gaiska, knowing Ray's reputation makes him think he could be directly harmed.
 In fact, if Gaiska was to be dubbed a duel by accepting Ray's proposal, Ray wouldn't take his life, but he had little intention of taking it easy.
 Geiska herself is not particularly training herself, nor can she understand the strength of her opponent.
 I couldn't do it, but... I still didn't think I could beat the notorious.
 If things go on like this, I'm going to have a real duel Ray.
 Then Geiska takes a step or two back... but instead of running away at once, she opens her mouth to Elena.

"Well, Elena, I beg your pardon. I'm busy, unlike any adventurer!"It was obvious that I was reluctant to lose, but I should say that I had the guts to say what I wanted to say.
 At any rate, I saw off Geiska, who had left the last word, and what remained in the room was silence.
 For some reason, it would have been a result of disturbing the atmosphere and making Ray feel uncomfortable if he left immediately.

"Oh... I'm sorry. The Geiska that came with me caused a disturbance. Honestly, I didn't expect it to run like that."
"Well, I thought I had brought Gaiska for that purpose. Was it a misunderstanding?"
"Hahaha. I can't have done that, can I? It's a coincidence, a coincidence."

 At Elena's words, Lanigs smiled without a trace of agitation.
 If you don't know anything, it's no surprise to think that's the truth of Lanigs' words.
 In fact, even those who understood Ranigus's spirit thought for a moment that his words were true, so his acting ability was very high.

"Well, what do you think? Let me judge that by what Ranigs says and does from now on?"

 I wonder if Elena's words have failed her a little.
 Originally, I wasn't supposed to stand out this much.
 I wanted to focus my attention on Gaiska and build a friendly relationship with Ray without that much prominence... but the idea was completely crazy.
 Lanigs couldn't hide his frustration at Gaiska's careless behavior, but I can still understand why he doesn't have such bad feelings from Ray.
 It was only a relief to say that Geiska did the bare minimum of work.

"May I ask Elena what the city of Gillum was like?"
"It's a blatant change of subject..."

 with a whiff
 After a brief smile at Ranigs, Elena smiles to take advantage of the change in the subject.
 Ranigs knew Elena's intentions, but knew she would be at a disadvantage if she said something here.
 That being the case, we now have to do something about the Geiska.
 Of course Elena and others know what Lanigs brought in Gaiska, but they have no more to say than to say now.

"Was it about Gillum? Well, honestly, if it were about Gillum, Ray, who has lived longer than I have..."
"No, Elena... wants to know the situation of Gillum from the aristocratic point of view. Of course, there's a lot of information coming in, but it's better to have more information."

 Originally, there is no need to bother giving Ranigus the information that the aristocratic Elena knows.
 I don't have one, but... I'm not sure if there's any information that Elena knows that's valuable, but anyone who goes to Gillum knows that's not a problematic.

"Well, the first thing I thought was that it was lively. Maybe it's better than Annesis in terms of vitality, perhaps because of the extension."

 It didn't mean that Anesis was inferior to Guillum, but that Guillum was in a period of development compared to Anesis, who was in a period of stability.
 Lanigs looked at Elena's words with interest.
