1974 chapter 1974



The lays decided to escape from the underground space, but fortunately the tentacles in the underground space did not chase them.
 For the tentacles, Ray, who continued to inflict heavy damage on them yesterday, must have been considered a tough opponent.
 ...however, Vichela, who was working with Ray, might have wanted him to attack her if possible.

(It's done so much damage, and it's not strange that the way they think is different. In some cases, you should think about the possibility of tentacles coming out of that underground space.)

 As he goes up the stairs, Ray looks at the javis he carries.
 Since it was the mastermind behind this incident, he must have known something about the tentacles.
 There is also no doubt that the kind of information that Langa has obtained in bringing the Reys back will have significant implications.

"I saw it."

 muttered the female guard, who was leading the way.
 The reason why the voice had a strong and joyful color was probably because I was afraid of the underground space.
 Without the tentacles, I wouldn't have been so scared, but this woman's security guard sees Ray fighting the pink tentacles.

 Anyway, unlike adventurers who often see monsters, the guards basically face humans, beasts, elves, and dwarves.
 That's probably why the guards could have felt even more repugnant about the clumps of tentacles.

"Hmm. Was the stairs in this house hidden?"

 Ray, coming out of the stairs, looked around and saw a wall moving sideways.
 I guess that's what happened when the guards and adventurers who had been raiding the estate somehow removed the device and found it...
 They make such predictions, remembering the mansion they were raiding.

"Excuse me, Mr. Ray. Can you check this out later? I want to go to Mr. Langa first."
"Huh? Oh, I see. That's no problem."

 Not wanting to look into the room until she left the langa alone, Ray nods easily to the woman's guard and leaves the room.
 Naturally carrying a javis, the guards and adventurers still looking for something in the room look at it strangely, but he doesn't seem particularly concerned about it.
 Like Ray, Vihela goes out of the room without worrying about what others think.
 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Uh,"
"... Oh, what's the matter?"

 Vihela wonders at the voice of the woman's security guard.
 For Vihela, it's usual to get attention from others, and I don't understand why the female guards care so much.
 Even Vuehne, whose guardian is Viehra, doesn't have to worry about his gaze when he's working with her.
 That's probably why they're concerned about the woman's security guard... ...well, this is the normal reaction.
 After all these interactions, the Rays eventually arrive in front of a room.

"Here,"

 Ray and Vichela arrive in front of the room, questioning the mentally tired woman's guard in this short time.

"Langa, I'm Yeomin. I brought Ray and Vihela together."

 The female security guard who knocks and calls out... calls out Yeomin to come in from within.
 And when the door opens, he urges Ray and Vihela to come in.
 He did not go in particular, but left the front of the room.
 I didn't wonder, but rather than saying it, Ranga, who was reading some papers at his desk in the room, looked at Ray.
 As long as this is a house under compulsory investigation, this is not, of course, Langa's office.
 Still, the sight of Ranga reading papers at his desk was not strange.

"Hey, both of you... Huh? What you have is..."
"Javis. The mastermind behind this case... I'm not sure if it's true or not, though I was just saying it myself."
"Oh, but it was strong enough, at least to claim to be the mastermind."
"I don't mean that the mastermind should be strong."

 Ray told Vihela that, but he was half sure that it was the mastermind after all.

"...you guys..."

 Listening to their conversation, Langa has a headache...or rather, she covers her face with her hand as if she were saying that her head was a headache.
 No wonder. Langa wanted some clues to this particular mastermind and engaged Dusker to carry out the raid.
 Nevertheless, Langa is at a loss for what to say, as he has captured the real mastermind rather than a clue.
 It's not that I'm not happy about it, though.

"Huh? What's wrong?"
"No. To be honest with you, I was very much saved. I was saved. ... I can't say what to say."
"Really? ... well, by the way. This is fine with the mastermind, but it's the tentacles of the underground space. I told you not to go into the underground space in the first place, but why were there so many adventurers and guards in the underground space when we saw it?"

 Ray's words became a little harsh probably because he had found quite a few bodies when he arrived in the basement.
 If it had followed Langa's instructions, the body would not have been born.
 But what did you think of that?
 Ray doubted it purely.

"Ah... yes. Actually, adventurers..."

 Langa looks like she's having trouble speaking, but when she sees it, she somehow understands what's going on.
 That is to say, it is the result of adventurers acting in their own interest.
 Needless to say, most adventurers gathered to carry out this raid care about Gillum.
 But at the same time, many were purely adventurers, some of whom might have thought they could find something important... something that would benefit them.
 When Ray actually saw the cracks and tentacles in that space, he couldn't understand how it felt.
 If I could get the secret or anything of that tentacle, it would certainly be a great... a great achievement as an adventurer.
 Some of the adventurers gathered may not have been able to miss such an opportunity.
 The result was what we could call the tragedy.
 When Ray hears it, he's no longer in the mood to complain to Langa.
 If this had been caused by the runaway guards, there would have been a complaint.
 But if they say the reason for this incident is actually on the part of the adventurer... there's no way Ray, the same adventurer, can say that.
 If this is the word of someone other than Langa, I wonder if he's protecting the guards, but Langa doesn't do it as far as Ray knows.
 That's why Ray avoided saying anything more.

"Yeah, I'm sorry to hear that. Well, if you're an adventurer, you can react like that. ... Some people ask for the unknown, but it's not that many."

 Quite a few people are actually adventurous because they want to see with their own eyes what they've never seen before.
 But this is a frontier.
 There are a lot of things that I've never seen anywhere other than the frontier, and in terms of looking at the unknown, I've achieved almost everything when I'm in Gilm.
 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"It will help if you say so,"Langa nods softly to Ray.
 Langa also had a lot of thoughts about the incident in which he entered the underground space without permission.
 But there is no doubt that this has prevented us from blaming adventurers unilaterally.
 The adventurer must have told him to go into the underground space, but it's true that the guards agreed to it's true.

(That's what I call it, it's which... it's which.)

 Thinking so from Langa's appearance, Ray decides that the conversation will only make them uncomfortable, and turns his eyes to Javis, who has been holding him, and opens his mouth.

"And what do you do with this javis?"

 the mastermind behind a chain of events
 Naturally, that person is important.
 It's not a mistake to say it's the most important part of today's enforcement.

"If you don't mind, can I take care of him? Of course, since it was Ray who got the man, I have to admit it if he claims ownership."
"I don't mean to do that, so you can do as you please. But if you hear of any circumstances, I'd like to know about that, but... I wouldn't force you to do that either."

 Ray isn't that interested in the reward he gets for catching this man.
 I would have been much happier if the problem had been resolved and the dismantling of the Giant Turtle had progressed.
 Also, I have a feeling that if there's no such thing as Kobolt coming into the guillem...
 Whatever you do with guillem, the appearance of a large number of monsters of the size of Cobold is nothing short of a troubling event.
 That being the case, Ray's primary hope was to solve the chain of events as soon as possible.

"I see. If you say so, I'll be saved, too."
"If that's all right, why did you stop that underground battle?"

 Deciding that this is the end of Javis' topic, Ray asks again what he's most concerned about.
 In the underground space, Yeo Min, who came to call for Ray, stopped the fight as it was about to start in earnest.
 It's only natural that we were concerned about why we stopped fighting.

"Oh, over there... Javis? Aren't you listening to the mastermind behind this?"
"Before I heard about it, the battle with Vihela began, and I could not pretend to get any information from her. ... Well, from the feel of the contact, she would admit her defeat and give me some information."
"I see,"

 Ranga smiles convincingly at Ray's words.
 Then, from the stunned Javis, he turns his gaze at Ray and Vichela, and opens his mouth.

"Actually, one of the people I caught knows about the underground space. According to what I've heard from him, the existence being summoned in the underground space seems to be quite high."
"... of high rank?"

 Ray doubts what comes out of Langa's mouth.
 From the feel of the battle, it didn't seem to me to be a high-ranking person.
 Of course, I know I have some intention.
 He actually saw Ray as a threat and used his tentacles to strengthen his defenses.
 But that's what wild beasts and their monsters do normally.
 There is no communication, for example, with Ray talking to him.
 That being the case, Ray could not agree with it, though it was not very much said that it was a high-ranking person.

"At the very least, people who had this information said that, although I don't know if it's actually true... ...and I'm sure they didn't know what it would be like to forcefully terminate the contract."
"... I see. That's why we stopped fighting."

 Regrettably, Ray nodded in agreement with Ranga.
