"Well, what the hell are you talking about?"

　I smell blood
　The elderly man, who is told so, turns his head mysteriously to Ray, apparently unaware of what he is really saying.
　When the guards saw him, they hesitated for a moment as to which word to believe... they immediately cast a stern glance at him.
　For the guards, Ray has been a friend of many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many of whom have worked together to solve the problem.
　It was somewhat exaggerated to say that my comrades... but many people think so.
　Regardless of Ray's personality, his ability is undoubtedly one of the best in guillem.
　The guards didn't have the option of not believing it because Ray said the elderly man in front of him smelled blood.

"I'm sorry, but I'd like to take a look at the house."

　The guard says so, but the elderly man shakes his head.

"I beg your pardon, but I cannot imitate you, as the Lord has told me, and now that I am here, I have not invited a stranger... even if he is a guard, to the house."

　very much
　Saying so, the elderly man reveals his determination never to let those present into the house.

"Oh. Is there something in this mansion that should not be seen by others... by our guards?"
"No way. There is nothing like that, but I cannot imitate the Lord's house without permission."
"You must convince me that I am a guard,"
"I'm afraid I can't do that. I'll listen to you when the Lord comes back, so please come back today."

　an elderly man who says so and bows his head
　The moment a guard tries to say something to such an opponent, the guard suddenly blows aside.

"What!"

　The guard had no idea what had happened, but seeing Ray reaching out next to the guard made it clear why this happened.
　One of the guards tried to say something to Ray, but some of them took action before that.

"Ah!"
"It's sweet!"

　An elderly man who should have bowed his head gives off a sharp, fast kick with a sharp expiration.
　a kick to the head of a guard beside a guard blown off by Ray
　It's a kick with force and sharpness that would break your head if you hit it.
　But the kick is easily stopped by Ray, who comes forward to protect the guards.
　The sound that rings around is like the sound of meat pounding hard on concrete.

"... armed with insteps and using kicks to attack, though I've never seen much of them except Vihela... there were some very dangerous butlers."

　When Ray finds out that the insteps are underneath the elderly man's pants, he says teasingly.
　However, I won't let go of my grip on my leg.
　The elderly man desperately tries to shake Ray's hand, but he doesn't seem to be able to get out of it.
　It's just a light grab, but it's just a light grab for Ray, and it's different for an elderly man.
　The guards must have finally figured out what had happened in such a situation.
　Before hesitating, and before checking the situation, Ray holds the man by the leg and binds him immovable.
　This act of binding is often done by an amateur, even though he thinks he has bound himself tightly, if he is as knowledgeable as a thief, he can easily escape.
　But it's not difficult for a guard to tie him up so he can't get out even if he disjoints.
　Perhaps because of his profession, in no time... that's what Ray sees as a surprising speed, and the guards who tie the elderly man up look around watching what's going on around him.

"Well..."

　The elderly man was surprised to hear that he had never thought he would be caught so easily.

"Now, for the time being, it is quite clear that the house is suspicious, but let me know who is using it."

　Ray asks a bound elderly man, but he doesn't seem to open his mouth.

(Oh, are you so loyal? ...I don't think you're afraid of your superiority for the time being.)

　Ray muttered admiringly, looking at the elderly man in front of him.
　In fact, Ray's opponent easily defeated him, but this elderly man's ability is reasonably high.
　As evidenced by this, the second kick to the head was unresponsive even to the guards, let alone the first one he tried to fire.
　Had it not been for Ray here, the man's blow would certainly have smashed the guard's head.
　That means the guards may have died in some cases.
　Nonetheless, being a security guard is also a life‐threatening task.
　You don't do anything half‐hearted about your life at work.
　After work, I'd drink heavily to drown my fear of death.

"For the time being, this man looks as if he were going to say anything, but that he has attacked like this means that there is probably something in the house... I'm sure, as you said, there is something in it that would be a problem to be seen."

　The guards nod to Ray's words.
　If there was really nothing to show, it would have been natural for the guards to hold on and attack.
　It was because they saw the guards and decided that they would never retreat, and they acted like that in an attempt to reduce the number of soldiers by themselves.

"I'm sure I wasn't wrong in that judgment, either. Without Ray, we might have all been knocked down here."

　One of the guards muttered as he looked at Ray.
　He was a security guard who often dealt with adventurers and had extensive interpersonal training, but if he was strong, he could not cope with it.
　And the elderly man who was to deal with him this time was not able to deal with it.
　For such a man, the worst mistake would have been to assume that the guards were the only ones in front of him.
　Perhaps he didn't have the ability to sense the opponent's ability, but it hurts that he couldn't recognize Ray as Ray because of his dragon lobe.
　If Sett had been with him, he might have recognized Ray as Ray, but unfortunately Sett was now on the alert with the rest of the guards to see if anyone could escape from the estate.

"The problem is in the house, I suppose. If there are any other people as strong as this man, it's a little... no, quite troublesome."

　mutter chagrined by one of the guards
　I'm sure you didn't expect a surprise attack, but you couldn't react to the old man's blow.
　At the very least, the guards here can't beat an elderly man one-on-one, and they need to keep the numbers together.
　Then it will undoubtedly take time to examine this mansion.
　On the scale of a mansion, there are likely to be hidden passages, hidden stairs, hidden rooms...
　To find them, of course, you need to find suspicious places, and to do so, you need a large number of people.
　But the existence of an elderly man has made it difficult for Ray to act alone or alone.

(Or was this a move aimed at? Then it must be troublesome.)

　Ray looks at the bound elderly man, who is a man of age.
　Perhaps feeling Ray's gaze, the elderly man looks at him with a monkey in his mouth.
　I couldn't speak, so I didn't know what I was thinking, but in Ray's eyes there seemed to be a sign of satisfaction that he had done what he had to do.
　Of course, Ray just thought like that, and it may not be true.
　Anyway, there is no doubt that the elderly man's behavior was troubling for the guards and Ray.

"What should I do? Should I call more guards? I think I can do something about it depending on the number of people."
"That's one of the choices, but... this case needs gathering evidence as quickly as possible... ...and maybe I should be able to get Sett into the house."

　It was a security guard who told me so, but I guess the guards understand that it's impossible.
　No doubt it was a joke to relax everyone, including Ray.

"Well, Seto's senses are sharper than mine, and if he could get in, it would certainly be useful. ... But there are many places where he could break down."Resizing may reduce some of the damage, but Ray didn't mean to do that.
　Resizing isn't as famous a skill as Firebreath.
　In other words, it's a trick in the back of the day. ... Although there aren't many situations where changing the size of the body means so much.

"Well, then. We need to look it up here by ourselves. Besides, finding someone to escape from the house is important."

　If Seto had five senses, he wouldn't be able to escape from his hands for a second.

"But what are you going to do about the search for the house? If there's someone like that, we can't help it. If it's Ray, it's a different story."

　The guards look at Ray.
　Since Ray was the one who actually defeated the elderly man, no one can deny it.
　It was only natural for anyone who knew Ray's ability to decide that it would not be necessary to do so.

"Ah... well, it's a compromise. Ray is one. We're... moving in groups of two or three. It's going to take more time than we all search separately, but if we're attacked, we'll be able to deal with it to some extent. ... And while we're enduring, we'll get help from the others, right?"

　In this case, the word "help" may have been directed at Ray.
　Ray knows this and nods back to the guards.

"Okay, then I'll look around the center of the building, and I don't think there'll be any extreme delays wherever someone is attacked. ... But there might be some important rooms in the center of the house. I don't think I should look into that."

　There is no doubt that Ray has had a lot of experience as an adventurer.
　However, his skill is naturally inferior to that of such a regular guard.
　That's why Ray says so, but the guards nod back that it's OK.

"We don't care. If there's something important, it's quite possible that the guy there is strong. In that sense, Ray should be the best choice."

　Everyone nods to the guards' words, resulting in Ray looking around the center of the estate.
　The rest of the guards break into two or three.
　There's a possibility... that someone might really run away from here, and above all, we'll have to keep an eye on the old man we've caught, so there's a few left here.

"Let me know as soon as you find anything, Ray,"
"If I have any important papers or anything, I'll keep them in the mistling, and I can look them up later, can't I?"
"...yes, but if you forget to take it out, we won't know it, so be careful."

　Ray's mistling is exclusive to Ray and can only be put in and out of Ray.
　Knowing that, the guards also told Ray so.

"I know. I'll keep that in mind."

　While nodding, Ray walked through the estate.
