After enjoying the pastry, the Reys return to exploring Anesis.
　In this world, however, travel is rarely done for sightseeing purposes.
　If you ask Miranda or Leodanis what the tourist attractions of Anesis are, there is no way they can be found, as long as the trip is not common.
　No, it may be true, but it doesn't seem like a tourist attraction because of the fact that certain scenes become commonplace.
　In fact, there was a TV program that Ray watched when he was in Japan that praised the scenery for being wonderful to go to a place with cobalt blue clear ocean, but for the locals, it was a scene they had seen since birth, so they didn't know what was wonderful.
　That's why Ray was walking around the city of Annesis without any tourist attractions... turning left at the crossroads when he suddenly saw a huge building and stopped.

"What is that huge building?"
"What? Oh, yeah, that's a library. Now that you mention it, it's not a library of this size, so maybe that's one of the specialties of Anesis."
"... big,"

　Listening to Miranda's explanation, Ray is once again surprised at the size of the library.
　The library Ray had been to several times in Gilm was quite large.
　Ray has been to various villages and towns since he came to this world, but none of them is larger than Gillum.
　No, many villages and towns don't have a library in the first place.
　Among them, Gillum has a library, which is also the largest Ray has ever seen.
　That's why Gillum's library was bigger than the city's, where Ray had been in Japan.
　It would have been a different story if it had been a prefectural library or a national library, but unfortunately Ray had never been to such a place, so there was no comparison.
　At any rate, it's not just that Gillum's library was so huge for show...
　Of course, it has never been unspectacular, but the location of the remote guillem is strongly influenced.
　Because it is a frontier, there are many unknown monsters... as well as plants, ores, and other unknown entities.
　As a matter of course, the more materials you have, the better.
　To some extent we have a guild, but if you want to find out more, it's best to go to the library to find out.
　The ancestors of Dusker, who had ruled Gillum, had been avidly collecting books because they understood it.Ray's library is definitely bigger than Gillum's.

(Is this the difference between a city and a city? But if that happens, is there a possibility that the library will expand even in Guillum after the extension work is completed?)

　Miranda asks if Ray was smart enough to be blinded by the size of the library.

"Would you like to drop in?"
"Oh... I'm interested, but I'll stop today. It's already time."

　Winter dusk is early.
　What's more, they left the house just after noon.
　Not at all, but it is impossible for the library to read from now on.
　No, I might read a book or two, but it's only natural that I want to read a variety of books anyway.
　That's why Ray says he wants to come to this library when he has more time.

"Oh, then you can use the library free of charge if you get a permit from your husband, though you can say that if you damage the book, it's because he trusted you."
"... oh, I'll think about it."

　Of course, Ray doesn't mean to tear the book on purpose.
　However, if anything should happen, I can't carelessly get a permit.
　Leodanis, watching them communicate next to each other, is relieved, keeping his face from expression.
　It's because I didn't like the act of reading, let alone exercising.
　Leodanis' honest feeling is that it's more fun to be physically active than to read.
　...but it's not that I'm not bad at making documents, so what I like and what I'm good at are probably different.

"Is that so? Then, please don't forget to use the library because you need to pay the admission fee and deposit money for dirty books."
"That's no different from Gillum's library,"

　Ray is relieved that his use of Gillum's library will not confuse him when he uses it.

(However, I haven't been in Anesis for a long time. I probably won't have many chances to come to this library.)

　Feeling a little disappointed about it, Ray starts walking around the city again.
　Seto, Leodannis and Miranda follow him.
　Some were still confused at the sight of Seto, but Leodanis -- of the Knights, to be exact -- was walking about in the presence of the knights, when Ray heard a voice.

"Hey, do you think it's enough for me? You guys got me involved, so show me a little more guts."
"Huh... I'm sorry. We're to blame for your involvement. Forgive me! What? Please. Oh, it's a little small, but I have money..."
"Oh... what a pity! Do you think you can win if you have too many? Oh, that's enough. Go away. It's an eyesore."

　After hearing such a conversation, many men emerge from the street a short distance from the Rays.
　Take your wounded comrades and get away with them -- whether they're actually running away -- as if they're running away.

"Are you fighting?"

　Leodannis mutters to these men, but that's all the others walking around are a little surprised to see them.
　If it's a gathering place like Annesis, it's probably nothing to make a fuss about because there are so many bloodied people.
　In fact, Leodanis does not seem to follow those who have escaped in particular to ask what is going on.

"There were a lot of people. ... Let me tell you, don't go wild? If Ray goes wild, I can't stop him."

　I'm just a little surprised at what Leodanis said.
　I can't believe I admit that I'm too weak to stop me.
　Leodanis, whom Ray knew, was very confident in his power.
　However, being a member of the Knights of the Duke of Quelebel, who is said to be one of the best in the kingdom of Milliana at this young age, he is naturally competent.
　However, Leodanis' confidence was easily shattered when he was unilaterally beaten in a mock battle with Ray.
　However, Leodanis's future suggests that he was lucky to learn about it in a mock battle without risk of death.
　If you were to know it poorly in action, you'd probably... or you'd definitely be dead.

"Well, will you stop saying that on the condition that I should cause some trouble?"

　Ray caresses Seto and says so, but Leodanis never stops looking suspiciously at him.

"...when I hear Ray's reputation, it seems to me that he is supposed to cause trouble."

　Rey tries to refute Leodanis's words... I remember that I can't refute them.
　When I think about what I've been doing, it's no use thinking about it.
　But that's not what I regret.

"Oh, someone came out."

　Miranda hides behind Leodannis and tells him so.
　He chose Leodannis over Ray because he was a member of the Knights of Quevel, while Ray was a guest.
　Was it his instinct as a maid that he was able to judge the situation quickly?
　Anyway, Ray and Leodanis can't argue any more, so they look where the men came out.
　...but Ray was not wary of his opponent.
　There was no response from the sensitive set to the hostility, so there was probably no problem.
　Of course, I'm not hostile at the moment, but I'm not completely off guard because there's a possibility that I'll be hostile when I meet and talk to them.

(He's probably the only one who beat that number of people... well, it doesn't make much sense in this world when the number of gangsters has increased.)

　Quality easily surpasses quantity in this world.That's why Ray can easily destroy the band of thieves and trample against the armies of major powers.
　With that in mind, it's not unusual to be able to defeat a gang of gangsters.
　Gillum... well, before the extensions, it would have created many adventurers.
　That's because many of the adventurers who flock to Gilm are skilled.
　It was quite a giant man who appeared before Ray's half-curious gaze.
　However, being a giant is not so unusual in this world.
　The reason why Ray was surprised, if only a little, was that he understood at a glance that the man was capable enough to be in Gilm.
　Annecis is the second largest city in the kingdom of Milliana, so it's safe to have a good hand.
　But why on earth did you think it was surprising.
　Ray's question will be solved in the next moment.

"Mr. Blue It!? Why do you do this in such a place?"

　Leodannis, who was on guard for Ray's side, shouted with astonishment.
　No, it's not just Leodannis who's surprised, but even Miranda, who was hiding behind him, looks at the man called the Blue It.

"Did you... that armour belong to the Knights of Kerebel?"
"Yes. My name is Leodannis, Duke of Quevel."

　When Ray sees the bluit, he somehow recognizes the giant in front of the giant in front of him.
　Considering the situation I mentioned earlier, there is almost no doubt...

(Noble, you know. It's probably high or influential in its own right.)

　I think so, but a man's appearance is far from that of a nobleman.
　I don't have the impression that it's filthy, but it's still something that ordinary people wear.
　Yes, I would never wear anything that a knight like Leodanis would respect.

"Oh? That's a Gryphon, so are you a crimson ray?"

　Turning away from Leodannis, Blueit looks at Sett and then at Ray next to Sett and asks.
　Ray was at a loss for a moment about how to react to Blueit's attitude, but he soon opened his mouth as usual.

"Oh, it's Ray, an adventurer in Guillum. What about you? From what Leodanis looks like, he's a great man. ... Why are such a great man fighting against such a thing in such a place?"

　As he says so, Ray looks at Blueit's body.
　I'm wearing a cloak to protect myself from the cold, but I can't hide the fine muscles on my body.
　And yet, the absence of any wounds or bloodshed in the cloak means that he did not allow any counterattacks against the gangsters I mentioned earlier.
　Or did you move quickly to avoid all the returning blood?

(No, from this giant's perspective, perhaps he puts more importance on the power of a blow than on quickness. ... That's a question.)

　If you fight with your own strength or weight, you will inevitably slow down.
　Of course, it's faster than ordinary people... but still, it's not enough to manage the return of blood when you hit it.
　Or if you're going to break a bone at one blow, you don't have to worry about blood coming back... but I've confirmed that some of the tinklers I've just mentioned were bleeding from their faces.

(Slightly... I'm getting interested.)

　Looking in the direction of Blueit, Ray waited for what he had to say.
