After finishing his conversation with Pamidor, Ray was walking around the city again with Seto.
　In addition, Pamidor has already broken up, saying that there is a destination.

"Well... you know, Seth. How on earth do you think we can get someone to pull the strings behind this incident?"
"Guru..."

　Ray asks, but Seto shakes his head as he purrs.
　When asked by Ray, Sett probably didn't have any particular idea.
　Nevertheless, Ray doesn't blame Sett.
　Ray couldn't think of anything either, so I asked Seto, wondering if he could.

"Oh, yes. Don't worry. I'm not blaming you. I just can't stay like this forever."

　a muttering ray caressing a set
　Seth, who is being caressed, must have understood that Ray wasn't angry. She purrs happily.
　While caressing such a set, Ray ponders what to do about the disturbance.

(I wish they'd put out their tails easily, but there's no sign of it. They use red cloth when they try to do something. ... It hurts to not even know how much red cloth there is left. Grange didn't seem to know that either.)

　In the first place, Grange was hired to lead the demolition of the mud walls and, at the same time, to dispose of the red cloths.
　That being the case, Grange himself must have known about the red cloth... much less about the other person behind it.
　We had been watching the base as a known place, but the guards who had been watching ended up being attacked by a red cloth.
　Ray's current impression was that he had few more clues to this.

(Most of the raiders on red cloth seem to have been caught, but given the current trend, there is little possibility that they have a clue. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

　Thinking like that, walking around the ground looking around...

"Ah,"

　Suddenly, I find a familiar face and stop it.
　The flow was similar to that of Pamidor, but the difference this time was that Ray had found the other side.
　And Ray didn't forget the other person's face because he had just met them.

"What!"

　After hearing Ray muttering, he suddenly looked at him and took his breath away.
　The reason why he still wouldn't run away was probably because he thought Ray wouldn't attack him pointlessly.
　...but in fact he only chased Grange because he was more important than the man, and he...rightly missed one of the red cloths who had been arguing with the man who had complained about building the mud wall when Ray encountered him.
　Anyway, Ray approaches the man with Sett.
　They see Ray approaching, but he doesn't seem to run away and waits.
　You may think, however, that even if you run away, you'll only get caught.

"Are you still in Gilmoo?"
"... No, it's only natural. It would be suicide to get out of Gilm under the current circumstances. And I'm alone."
"I suppose, but isn't it suicidal to be on the street like this? It would be dangerous if you were found."

　The danger in this case doesn't mean that you'll be found by sight.
　They say it's dangerous to be found by the people who hired Grange.
　The idea that this man was working with Grange, who knew he was going to let Cobold kill these men, was enough to make him want to kill them, and he should have the power to do it.
　Nevertheless, it was only natural for Ray to be dumbfounded because he walked along the street so fluently.

"You can't go to the slums, you know."

　This man didn't mess with the slums as a red cloth, but it's true that another red cloth caused such a thing.
　That being the case, if a man goes to a slum and is found to be a red cloth, he could end up with a life-threatening injury.
　Men probably don't pretend to go to slums because they know it.

"It's your own fault, isn't it? What do you do? Do you want to go to the same place with Grange?"
"... with him? What the hell is wrong with him?"

　Now that they've split up on the spot, naturally the man doesn't know where Grange is now.
　That's why I asked him, but the reason why he looked a little frightened is because I thought... he might say that his place was in the afterlife.
　In fact, given the momentum Ray had when he chased Grange yesterday, it's no surprise that a man thinks so.
　Still, Ray's words tell us that he was not dead, and that he was not caught by a guard.

"I gave it to Gillum's intelligence unit, and perhaps by this time I'm training a lot. ... Well, I think it's better to call it study."

　Being an intelligence unit behind the scenes doesn't mean you don't have to sit there.
　No, I have many things to learn because I am such a person.
　Even if it's behind the scenes... No, it's because it's behind the scenes that we have to keep it together.

(Think about it, there are people who seem to be nothing but chindlers to Egg's men.)

　That's how Ray thinks, and the man who was talking to him looks at the bottom of his heart with a disgusts Ray.
　The fact that he dislikes studying so much means that the man in front of him seemed to know specifically about studying.
　If I hadn't studied at all, I didn't think I'd get such a negative reaction when I was told that I was studying.
　Or you may have heard from someone what a difficult and troublesome asceticism it is to study.

"What? You don't like studying so much?"
"... oh,"
"But do you have anyone else to turn to now? If you have, you can turn to... you wouldn't be walking down the street about this in such a situation. Well, maybe you did it because you didn't think about it."
"Well, well, that's..."

　a man at a loss for words
　In fact, he probably didn't realize he was acting so dangerously until Ray told him.
　He wondered if he didn't want to study... before long he said it.

"Then I don't stay here and hide where I heard it a little while ago. Then I don't have to rely on you or study."
"Well, so I have to find him over there..."

　I hope so.
　When Ray tried to say so, he suddenly stopped moving.
　Something bothered me, so I remembered the conversation... suddenly.

"Did you say the place you heard about a while ago? Who did that come from?"
"Huh? No, from whom... oh... who was it?"

　It's probably because Ray's words were surprising. The man tries to remember who he heard from, and then he opens his mouth.

"He brought us food. We were free because we couldn't go out, so we started to talk a lot with the people who brought us food. I think that's what I heard in that conversation."
"It's a rather vague expression for you to go there said."You said so, but I remembered it in Ray's words, so it's no use,"

　He was a disgruntled man, but that's far from it for Ray.
　The place where the man who was carrying the food to this man was telling him... that is to say, it was likely to be one of the masterminds in this case.
　That's not the disposable base that Grange knew, but the real possibility is high.

(Is it possible that he intentionally leaked information that he had brought food to me? No, but I'm sure they didn't know he'd find me and tell me a story. Then there's a good chance...)

　gather one's thoughts quickly
　That's probably the key to breaking the deadlock in this case.

"Where is that?"
"What? Hey, what's wrong with you all of course.
"Well, tell me. If I tell you... I'll tell you to keep you under guard."
"...really?"

　A man questioned Ray's sudden change of attitude.
　It's impossible not to say that Ray, who had not planned to do so much convenience until now, suddenly offered to hide himself, so don't be suspicious of it.
　Ray, however, only told the guards to hide him, though he had no intention of hiding him.









"Really. That's how important the information you have is... ...you don't seem to be aware of it."

　There was no clue whatsoever to the person behind the incident, and Ray and the guards were completely stuck in the investigation.
　There's no option to let it go because it's a clue that just came out of the blue.
　What's more, as far as listening to the man's words is concerned, there may actually be other important information, even if you don't think it's important.
　Then Ray doesn't have the option of missing such an important source.

"First of all, I'll go to the guard station, and I'll have you spit out everything you know."
"Oh, hey? Wait a minute. That doesn't mean you're going to question me, does it?"

　The man who was told he was going to throw up everything, wonders if, as a matter of course, he would actually be caught hiding himself by the guards.
　...maybe that's not wrong, though, because Ray's thinking is to put him in prison or somewhere to protect him.

"I don't mean to, but it's best to have you in some sturdy place to protect yourself. In that sense, prison is a very good condition. ... At least, with guards in the presence of people, you don't have to think that the other hand will come to prison so easily."
"Well... can't you walk freely outside?"
"Of course,"

　Rey tells the man what he's talking about.

"If you're out and about like now, it's definitely an opportunity if you have a pursuer who's targeting you, or if you have the ability to feel murder, you might be able to do something about it."

　That's impossible, isn't it? Ray tells me.
　Ray's attitude was impressive, but I can't say anything about it because I can't actually feel any murder or sign.
　With that kind of ability, it would be safe to be in a crowd to some extent, but...so long as he can't do that, he doesn't have the option of going downtown.
　I thought for a moment about not seeking refuge from Ray because of his aggression, but considering what he said and said, I can definitely understand that he was going to die.

"Oh,"
"Then there's no problem with going to the guard station?"
"Just do it. I'll tell you, don't get angry if there's nothing in the place I heard earlier? It's just something that came out of the conversation."

　When I thought I could be protected by a security guard, I was told that the information was actually useless, and I could not stand being thrown out of the way.
　Ray nods back to the man who tells him that there is no problem.

"That's all right, isn't it? The guards have a strong sense of responsibility for everything. If you don't know anything, I think it's all right to protect it for the time being."

　Ray's words finally made the man agree to go to the guard post.
