The knight approaches the Reyes out of the guillem.
　Knights waiting for the Ray's to get out of the guillem have no complaints about the look on their faces.
　It's no wonder that a knight is waiting for an adventurer, but... how powerful Ray is, with Elena, who is known as the Princess General, and Marina, the former guildmaster.The knight does not know his background, but Vichela, a former princess of the Vestian Empire.
　Waiting for such men, he could not have been dissatisfied with the knight.

　Perhaps that's why this knight was chosen to guide the Rays.

"Here, sir. I'll take that carriage and move, will you mind?"

　It's not that polite when you're dealing with Ray, but the reason why the knights are so polite is probably because of the Elena.

"Well, for God's sake, and... if I ask you specifically how long you'll be away from Gillum?"

　In response to Elena's question, the knight opens his mouth, nervous as he knows what is to happen, and red-faced at Elena and other figures worthy of being called the most beautiful women of the world.

"Yes, at least where you're fighting and you're not going to cause any damage to your surroundings. ... We've already got our forces a little further away from where we're supposed to be."

　The laymen are enough.
　Dusker thought so, but it was only natural for the lord of Guillum to think about the worst, and it was natural for him to prepare for the worst.
　. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Well, then you can go wild,"
"Well... as long as it doesn't hurt Gillum, please. Many residents of Gillum don't know about this incident."

　Marina turns her gaze to Ray, as the knight begs her.
　... though Ray was looking at Marina.
　Among those in this carriage are Ray, who is good at fire magic, and Marina, who is good at spirit magic.
　That's why we both look at each other in a way that tells them not to show off too much, but when they find out that the other person was thinking the same way as themselves, they have a subtle expression.
　Then, in a delicate atmosphere, the carriage proceeded... until the windows of the carriage began to show the soldiers and knights, and they slowed down.

"Well, here we are. Mr. Gladallas is waiting for you, and I'll show you around."

　The name Gladallas sounded familiar to Ray.
　He is a well-known man of great ability among several of Gilm's knighthoods.
　Although Ray has never met in person.

"Gladalas? I've heard of it, but it's my first time seeing you."
"Oh, really? I was under Dusker, and I thought I'd met Ray before."

　Marina, who has always been close to Dusker, knew Gladallas as a matter of course.
　I know I have the right ability to be entrusted with such a strategy.

"I don't see many of the great men in the knighthood, let alone ordinary knights. ... What about Elena? I've seen a lot of Mr. Dusker, and I've never seen Gladallas?"
"I've heard of her name, but I've never met her. ... Vichela... not to mention her."
"What do you mean? Well, it's true that I've never met you."

　Basically, Vihela spends her time as an adventurer in Gilm.
　Very few people, including Dusker, know their true identity.
　That's probably why Vihela didn't have a chance to meet Gladallas.
　It's a painful and itchy neighborhood for Vihela.

"But we're going to see each other now, okay? Here we go."

　Encouraged by Marina, the Rays get out of the carriage.
　Then Sett, who was walking outside the carriage, approaches.
　While patting Seto gently against his head, the Rays move through a crowd of soldiers and knights.
　Walking through it, Ray suddenly wonders.
　It's because we have fewer troops here than we expected.

(What's going on? I don't think Mr. Dusker would be the only one who would be reluctant to do so... then, that's the only place where he's hiding his strength. Well, since the battlefield has been decided, it's not just one place, but one that's surrounding the battlefield.)

　Looking around, stroking Seto, thinking like that, he is led by the knight, and then he arrives before the tent.

"Captain Gladallas, I've brought you here."

　The knight's words eventually reveal a man from within the tent.
　A man in his mid-30s came out.
　I don't think I'm well built, but I think I'm a little taller than my middle height.
　Nevertheless, there is a sharp light in his eyes, and he can be identified as a man of influence just by looking at it.

"You've come. I've heard a lot about the situation from Mr. Dusker, and all I can say is to do my best. ... If you have any questions, I'll ask you?"

　Regardless of the adventurer Ray or Vihela, who hides her identity, it is safe to say bluntly that she speaks to Elena, the daughter of the Duke of Quelebel, who is nicknamed General Princess, and Marina, a former guildmaster.
　But I don't mean that I have any particular separation from Elena or Marina, but this is the normal response for Gladallas.
　Marina, who knows it, goes on without a trace of concern.
　Elena doesn't have to get angry at this level because she spends so much time on the battlefield.
　...the only reason why his men, Arla, seemed more dissatisfied with Elena, than with Elena herself, because of her violent language.

"Well, I'll just ask you, the reason why we don't have enough military power here is because it's scattered around where it's going to be a battlefield."
"That's correct. I wanted to prepare more military strength if possible, but there are many other things to do, so this was the best military strength."
"Well, I see. I'll just ask you this, but this battle is going to be a one with me and Ray, Elena, Vichela, and Seto, and you hear that, right? If you come out in the fight, you'll be in trouble."
"...I hear that, too. Frankly speaking, it's not that Ray's master has nothing to say... but I know he has to help me solve this case."

　As one of the commanders of the Knights, Gladallas must have a lot to think about in this case.
　In particular, it was no wonder that we were not able to participate in this battle against tentacles in order to protect Gilm.
　If we had the confidence that we would be able to manage this case by ourselves, we wouldn't have relied on them.
　However, as long as you can't do that, you have to be convinced that you can meet the needs of the person who helps you.
　...Of course, if the punishment of the tentacles were to fail in accordance with their demands, I would have a grudge or two against them.
　He then uses adventurers other than knights, soldiers, and laymen to defeat his tentacles.
　I don't think I read all of it from the look of Gladallas.
　Still, Marina, who somehow understands what she's thinking, decides that she'd better knock her tentacles down quickly and opens her mouth.

"Well, then, we can't stay like this forever, so let's get going."

　Reyes had some doubts about Marina's appearance, but they obeyed the instructions without any complaints, unless they had to do anything particularly here.

"Then we'll go. There's probably nothing wrong with it, but don't ask me to deal with it as soon as possible."
"Needless to say,"

　At the end of their brief conversation, the Reys come out of the tent.

"Take care, Elena. I'll take care of you!"
"Yes!"

　Arra and Bune offer words of encouragement and support to Elena and Vihela, respectively.
　In Arra's arms, there was a figure of Yero remaining here.However, Viehla was the only one who could understand exactly what Bune meant, as usual.
　Ray and others can understand the general meaning, but if they are going to communicate with Bune in detail, Vihela's presence is essential.

"If you look at me like this, Marina and I are the only ones to see you off."
"Well, but Ray has Seto, right? He's going to fight with me, so I don't think we need to see him off. ... So I'm the only one who's lonely."

　Contrary to what she said, Marina laughs and jokes, but she's clearly the widest-faced man on the road to battle.






　The title of former guildmaster is by no means small.
　However, just because we have a wide circle of acquaintances, whether it is deep or not is another matter.

"Huh? Come to think of it, look. What's wrong with Marina teaching spirit magic?"
"Oh, email? I'm busy here today, so I'm taking the day off."

　Although he was a disciple for a limited period of time during the winter, he is still a disciple.
　What's more, Ray saw the dark elf as having a strong yearning for Marina.
　The e-mail also had good features, but it's rather lovely to be described as cute, not beautiful.
　That's probably why she admired Marina, who deserves to be called a charming beauty.
　With that email alone, if you knew what you were going to do today, you'd certainly be cheering for Marina like Arla and Bune.

(No, I might have even said that I wanted to go fight with him... but I can't take him with me.)

　It is impossible to take even Arra to fight, let alone Bune.
　And from Ray's point of view, email is as advantageous as it can attack from a long distance because of its spiritual magic, but if approached, it doesn't even reach Bune, let alone Arra.
　As long as we knew that, we could hardly have taken him to this battle.
　...but without it, Grimm's case would have made it difficult to take him with you know.

"What's the matter, Ray and Marina?"

　Elena calls out to me, perhaps because she's done communicating with Arra.
　When I turned around, there was not only Elena, but Vichela, and she looked at both Ray and Marina with some interesting eyes.

"No, it's nothing. I was just saying that if there were Marina's disciples here, Marina would have been on that side."
"Oh,"

　In Rey's words, Elena and Vihela each nod to see if they understood who their disciple meant.
　Neither of them have met the mail in person, but they have heard about it from Ray and Marina because of the mud wall.
　The mere mention of it made everyone smile and wonder how they would react if there was an email here.

"And in Ray's case, my partner, Seto, would go to the battlefield with me, so I wouldn't have to talk to them like Elena did."
"Glu?"

　Seto, who had been caressed by Ray in silence until now, bends his head and turns his round eyes on Marina.
　Like the Reys, Sett was so relaxed that he didn't think he was going to fight against a powerful enemy.
　This is not to say that you despise the other person.
　Even from Ray and Vihela's perspective of the tentacles' ability, we fully understand that the opponent is a strong opponent.
　Still, if it's just fighting against a strong opponent, the Rays have experienced it many times before.
　There's a certain amount of tension, but it's more than necessary... and that's not the kind of tension among the Rays that's going to be disadvantageous.

(I guess Grimm's eyes are big too)

　Of course, what Grimm is looking at doesn't mean he's helping us.
　On the contrary, Grimm would not help Ray and his men in crisis.
　Even if he knew this, Ray didn't feel strangely uneasy... in a way, he ended up feeling as if he could even describe it as refreshing, and headed for the battlefield.
