"I'm Blue It Exoris. He's a son of want in the Earl of Exoris."

　Ray must have thought he didn't know. Blueit tells Ray so.

"Why did the Earl's son do this in such a place?"

　Usually, the son of a nobleman goes out into the city... and then I don't think he'll have any trouble with them. As if he's saying so, Blueit looks a little further away.
　There, a man and a woman in their early twenties bowing their heads.
　That kind of situation gave Ray some sense of understanding.
　I suspect that the man and woman were entangled by the gangsters, and that Blueit helped them.

(I don't think, however, that the children of the Counts should go out of their way to help them, but... even if they were sons of the Counts, wouldn't it be a problem if they were so competent? Still, it would turn into a matter of responsibility for the bodyguards, etc.)

　Ray sometimes had contact with high-ranking men, such as dukes and marquises, but the Earl's family was still sufficiently superior to the general public.
　If such a person were known to be fighting with a gangster, it would undoubtedly cause trouble.
　But the bluit in front of Ray's eyes, perhaps not caring at all, waved lightly to the man and woman who bowed their heads, and that was all they could do.
　Seeing such a scene makes Leodanis look subtle... really subtle.
　Normally, it is the job of guards to keep Anesis safe.
　Nevertheless, it was the son of the Counts of Exoris who solved the trouble that had occurred... and the next head of the family, so it is only natural that Leodanis should have this expression on his face.

(What were the guards doing?)

　Leodanis thought so slightly out of proportion, but it's not that the Annese guards were idle.
　No, indeed, the Annesis guards will be among the best looking around the whole kingdom of Milliana.
　It's purely a matter of luck that the guards failed to make it in time and the Blue It brawled.
　Two men and women...that's the only problem that happened to be that when two people, probably lovers, were entangled in a gangster, there were no guards nearby and instead, there was a bluit.
　Of course, it's a matter of luck, so it doesn't solve everything.

"Ah... why don't you leave here for now? There will be a lot of trouble when the guards come."

　As a knight, Leodanis should be willing to act for the guards.
　But if you do that now, you're wasting your time on Ray and Blue It, the guide.
　I can't afford to do that at the moment, and I choose to leave here after all.
　But that's because the Blue It helped the lovers involved in the gangsters, and if it hadn't been resolved, they wouldn't have done so.

"Well, I've been wanting to talk to Ray for a while. Why don't we act together anyway? Even if we leave here, that would be more interesting."
"... well, Ray?"

　Ray is the main character this time.
　That being the case, Ray has a choice as to whether or not he can work with Blueit.
　Leodanis, having met the next Earl of Exoris at a place like this, would not want to leave the blues alone if possible.
　As long as that's the case, I wanted Ray to agree with me if possible.

"Oh, I don't care. I'm a little interested in Blue It, too."

　What Leodanis heard was Ray's voice.
　Leodannis looks a little surprised at Ray's unexpectedly simple nod.
　I had heard rumors about Ray, but after losing to Ray in a mock battle, I gathered more information about him from his frustration.
　As a result, Ray and the nobility are basically not compatible.
　It was completely unexpected that Ray would nod so easily to Blueit, especially as there was information that he had been at odds with aristocrats many times.

"Are you sure you're okay? I'm in trouble when Ray rages me."
"I'm not going to go on a rampage. ... I'm not from me."

　Leodanis, who was watching what to do with Ray, reluctantly agrees with the words, deciding that if he says anything more in the current situation, he will only waste his time here.
　If we argue here badly, there's a possibility that the guards will come.

"All right. Then... let's get away from here."

　He nodded to Leodanis, and all the Ray and others there moved away from the spot.
　Ray thought, however, that the presence of Sett would soon be known to the guards that Blueit was with them.





"Well, was it true that Ray was close to Elena?"

　Blueit laughs happily, swallowing a lump of stewed meat with ale.
　The Lays are now in the park.
　There is no one but the Reys, perhaps because it's snowing.
　Children could have played around, but they didn't even look like it.
　Ray couldn't care less if he was probably playing somewhere else.
　Children in this world basically play outside when they play.
　...at least that's how we can play because there are no game consoles like the Earth where Ray was.
　Some children like to read books, but books are so expensive that they are not something that ordinary households can afford, so they are an overwhelming minority.

"Well, that's a definite fact."

　Leodannis' subtle expression and Miranda's eyes sparkle with curiosity as she responds to Blueit's words.
　For Leodanis, the existence of Elena is a symbol of the nobility, but it is also a symbol of the Duke of Quelevel.
　Of course I have deep respect for Filma, who leads the Knights, but that doesn't mean I don't respect Elena.
　And considering Elena's beauty, it would be impossible not to admire her.
　Leodanis is no exception, and she has a strong yearning for Elena.
　If the Elena and Ray were told they were on intimate terms, it would naturally have a complex look on their faces.
　It's not that Miranda doesn't yearn for Elena, but that's the difference between men and women.
　The truth was that she was more concerned about Elena's love affairs than she had longed for.
　It was not uncommon for Elena to be rumored that she was the most beautiful woman in the world, but contrary to such rumors, she had no close friends.
　No, there are some people who are simply close, but what Elena has about such partners is not feelings about the opposite s*x, but about friendship and brotherhood.
　His good looks often courted him, which further deprived him of his feelings of love.
　So that Elena...When Elena, nicknamed the Princess General, learned a few years ago that a man had a shadow, the maids were all rumoured to be what it was like.
　But Ray, who had been rumored to be, had never been to Anesis before... this time he was finally there.
　And the Duke and Duchess of Kelebel were given what could be termed tacit approval.
　By the maid's gossip Miranda knows about the situation.
　If you can still hear the story for yourself, it's only natural that you want to hear it.

"Well, I don't think I'll ever say that much, but then there'll be more and more of you who'll be hostile to Ray, and I'll be glad to have him as my wife."

　Nevertheless, there is no such thing as an obsession with Elena in the way she looks.
　They must have wanted to see Ray's reaction.

"If they come against me, I'll just respond accordingly."
"...just as the rumor has it said.

　At Ray's words, Blueit smiles manly.
　Bluit naturally collected a lot of information about Ray.
　I knew that some of them had no trouble dealing with the nobles, and that some of them had a hard time trying to harm Ray.

"I don't know what the rumor is like, but it's a little bit hard to predict."
"Well, considering Ray's character,"
"... and, let me tell you what I'm saying, why, when you're in the position of the next head of a noble family, were you all around the city dressed like that?"

　Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the next head of the Earl's family to walk around town without a single bodyguard.
　Nevertheless, Blueit was doing the impossible.
　Moreover, it is a careful preparation of what ordinary people wear -- the best of them all.
　Ray thought this could not be just a coincidence."I didn't have anything in mind, so don't worry. I was just looking at this city purely out of interest. I honestly envy the prosperity of this city. My territory is relatively prosperous, but it's still a few steps lower than that of this city."

　It was not flattery but heartfelt words to say so.
　It would be quite difficult, however, for cities and cities in the territory of Blue It to develop more than Annesis, given that the Annesis is the second largest city in the kingdom of Mileana.

"So, is it really just a tour?"
"Well, I've been thinking a little bit about how to do this compared to my territory. I wasn't just looking around vaguely."
"Oh, I see. So what do you think is the difference between this Anesis and Blue It's territory?"

　The reason why Ray asked that in Blueit's words is probably because Ray's base, Gillum, is currently undergoing extensions.
　I thought that if I could apply any element of this Annesis alone to Gilm, Gilm would be more prosperous.
　...however, Ray was considered a dusker's sword by the people around him, but that's not really the case.
　If Ray says so, Dasker will listen, but it's not clear whether it's going to be reflected.
　Urban design is done by experts in that line, and even if Ray makes suggestions with a little knowledge, it is more likely to do him harm.
　Regardless of whether it helps or not, Ray waits for Blueit to say that knowledge should be remembered in any way.
　Ray's gaze made him think a little... open his mouth.

"Well, first of all, I'm surprised that there's not much garbage left."
"...what?"

　I've always thought you'd talk about the location of the city or some kind of store, but Ray is surprised why it's garbage there.
　Surprisingly... I immediately recall the knowledge I heard in Japan.

(Is it called the Crack Window Theory...?)

　Crimes are more likely to occur in places with broken windows.
　There are many more detailed theories to be exact, but that's about what Ray remembers.

"There are a lot of people who think that if you throw it away, you can throw it away. And if you throw it away one after another, it'll naturally get dirty, people won't get close to you, and sometimes if possible, people will get together, and then the slums will form and the dark ones will form a group."

　Leodannis looks proud at Blueit's words.
　I guess he doesn't feel bad about being praised for the measures his master is taking.
　It's surprising to Ray that he's doing something so close to window theory.
　As long as there is no such thing as crack window theory in this world, we probably got there from experience.

(No, is it possible that someone other than me, whether it's a transmigration or a transmigration, spread the theory?)

　As long as I know of the people who have metastasized or been reborn in this Elgin, I think it's safe to have some knowledge of that area.
　That's how Ray continued his conversation with Blueit.
