"I'm saved,"

　Saying so, knights bow to adventurers.
　The knights who are supposed to be in charge of the occasion were able to catch every single one of them who came to scout.
　He looked happy when he was roasting and eating Kerberos meat and fangs at dinner, but the smile that came from catching the scouts here was a different smile from the one at dinner.

(Come to think of it, I didn't catch that fang after all.)

　The reason was that Ray had lost his motivation when he was found to be free of magical stones.
　"However, the taste of the fish itself was rather delicious, large, and large, so it might be a promising ingredient."

"Don't worry. We're in charge of guarding here, so we've just done our job. ... But I didn't expect more than ten people, let alone one or two, to come at once. And apparently, we're all company."

　All those caught wore the same mask in black.
　If you say that this has nothing to do with it, it doesn't have any persuasive power.

"Then it will matter who they are... or who they are employed by. But these people don't talk easily."

　Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
　In some cases, it's easy to throw up your boss or employer, but unfortunately these men in black don't look like that type.

"Does anyone see any of them in the face.

　They all wore masks, but now they are bitten by monkeys, so their masks have naturally been removed and their faces have been exposed.
　Considering that there were more than a dozen of them, the Knight might have asked, perhaps, that there might be some familiar faces on this man's face, but the answer was that they all shook their heads.

"Nobody remembers it, everyone?"

　From the knight's point of view, he might have hoped that there might be at least one familiar to him, and that if he knew one of them, he might be able to catch him like a potato.
　But such a knight's hopes are completely dashed.

"It may not be so strange, considering the number of inhabitants of Gillum now, but... still, again... well..."

　The knight begins to think about something, but Ray calls out Zozo first.
　It was so sudden that Seto discovered the men in black that he was in a hurry to catch them.
　As a result, the lizards were not briefed on the situation.
　In fact, there were some adventurers left here, so I could have done it if I wanted to explain it... but somehow the flow of the conversation made the Lizard men decide that they should wait now.
　It could be influenced by Gaga's willingness to go to battle if she knew about the incident.
　Anyway, Ray's explanation nods convincingly.

'I understand the reason for this case, but should I assume that... that the Tower of Birth has already been known?'
"I suppose you might think that one or two of them wandered in by accident, or that they might just wait and see if there was anything suspicious, but when so many people came all at once, it was obvious that they knew what was here. ... Then..."

　Ray stopped talking in the middle of his life, and he remembered the adventurers who were being pursued by Kobolt.

(In the same day they came, so many, not to mention their fighting power, were they quite adept at covert action? Is this a coincidence?)

　Maybe it's really a coincidence.
　But from Ray's point of view, it was also true that it was not a matter of chance.

"Well, I'll ask you, sir, that Mr. Dusker, "are the adventurers who had been pursued by the Cobolt still on hand?"
"Huh? Oh, oh. Of course, that's right. ... Hey, do you happen to want to say that they came because of the leak of information from those adventurers?"
"I think there's a good chance,"
"No, but... but..."

　If Ray's statement is true, it means that the security of the lord's residence is lax.
　We don't know if the adventurers have escaped or if they've got the information in any way.
　I don't know, but if you think of it as a possibility, you can never deny it.
　a knight who shows conflict between wanting to acknowledge and having to acknowledge

"And that was their aim from the start?"
"I don't know that much. But... I'm thinking about it now, but most of the things they were equipped with showed some use."
"They said they gave it up to me."
"All the weapons and protective gear? That's a little unbelievable. ... That's just how I think about it now."

　Ray's words show other adventurers' satisfaction.
　That being said, it's still a matter of the moment.
　When I encountered those adventurers, I had to think about it and point it out.

"By the way, you can ask these guys about the details. Some of the knights specialize in interrogation, don't you?"
"Oh,"

　a nodding knight
　As a knight, I don't think it's very interesting... to say, to be sure, to be honest, I don't think it's very interesting to be it.
　But that kind of person is definitely essential.
　The knight's words may have been shortened by the conflict around themselves.
　Ray glances at such a knight but says something else.

"But with so many reconnaissance agents coming along, how far do you think the information on this lake will spread?"
"Well, basically the adventurers here haven't moved from here, so I don't think they'll leak information from here. Then... is it possible that they'll leak information from the coachman who's bringing food?"
"Some of the woodcutters know the tower of their birth, let alone the lake, and there is a possibility that they might have leaked the information in the bar."

　adventurers expressing their opinions
　It's highly likely that the adventurers were the source of this black outfit, but that's not yet confirmed.
　Those dressed in black will be severely interrogated -- possibly tortured -- but the adventurers now in the dungeon of the lord's house will also be interrogated, though not as harsh as those dressed in black.
　I don't know if I'll be honest with you.

"Anyway, we can't do anything about it from here on out. Let's leave the rest to the knights and guards in Gilm, and we'll be on guard."

　Ray's words make other adventurers nod.
　The adventurers are not out of their mind about this incident.
　It's possible that the person they helped was actually acting for information.
　But if you're an adventurer... let alone a guild of talent who has been chosen to guard you here, you've experienced betrayal once or twice.
　That being the case, there are some things I think about this case, but I don't think I'll be as depressed as I can see when I'm shocked.

"Well, let's keep a close watch first. There's no denying that these guys are the advance troops."
"Do you mean we'll catch them, and another one will come while we're at ease?"
"Wow... I don't like it because it seems normal. But if you have Seto, he'll attack you... No, he's not going to attack you, he's going to scout the lake. Even if he does..."
"Oh, wait a minute."

　Setto is safe.
　Ray puts a stop to the adventurer who tries to say so.
　The adventurer, who had his words stopped, turned to Ray and asked what was the matter."What's wrong with you? You want to tell me not to rely on Seto all the time."

　I suppose he said it half jokingly.
　I was able to find someone early this time because I actually had Seto.
　That's why... that's why many people are surprised to see Ray nodding to his words.

"I'm sorry. There's a place I need to go and see."

　Yes, it's a place where you have to go and see what's going on.
　This is the place where the lizard man, the green man, the tower of birth, and the lake have been transferred.
　I don't think we've found a whisper in the basement of Trent's forest, but we've also had people scouting and leaking information about the lake, which we've kept as secret as possible.
　If so, maybe... really, maybe, but I can't deny the possibility that they are known about underground spaces.
　However, the number of people who know the lake and the underground space is very different.
　Many people know about this lake, albeit in secrecy.k.
　That's why Ray expected the information to leak eventually.
　But the underground space is different.
　Understanding that it was different... but given the gravity of the matter, I definitely had to check it out.

"Are you serious? I don't know where you're going, but do you really say you have to go in this situation?"

　One of the adventurers turns a black eye on Ray.
　The adventurer may not really understand why he should behave like that in this situation.
　Still, I'm sure Ray doesn't say that to skip work in this situation because he has a certain amount of trust in Ray.

"Oh, I'm sorry, but I'm absolutely sure about this. . . Mr. Dusker will forgive me if he knows this."

　Ray declares so to the knight, who is treated as the head of the scene.
　I guess he judged that there was no lie about Ray's appearance.
　The knight nods and opens his mouth, with a difficult expression on his face.

"OK, then I'll take Ray's word for it. ... Go away. Just get back as soon as you can."
"Hey, hey. Are you sure you want it!"

　One of the adventurers screams so at the knight who readily gave permission to Ray's actions.
　So much, the knight's judgment must have surprised the adventurer.
　However, the knight nods to such an adventurer.

"If Mr. Dusker gives me permission, I have nothing to say. Of course, if it's a lie, it'll be a problem later. But Ray... I don't think Mr. Dusker's trustworthy Ray will tell such a lie here. No?"
"That's..."

　Even adventurers who have been tempted by knights can only agree with what they say.
　In fact, it's true that Ray has received a lot of requests from Dusker and done it.
　The accumulation had built up a strong trust in Ray.

"All right, then, Ray. Come on. What? The adventurers here are good, and the lizards are good. If someone attacks you, you won't lose so easily. ... But the biggest problem is not that the enemy attacks you, but that you'll just concentrate on reconnaissance."

　Many people... even adventurers who had been eating at the knight's words until recently are convinced.
　If you fight normally, you're not going to lose.
　But if you're someone who's acting in secret, it's a different story.
　To be honest, it's hard to find such a thing.
　What's more, he's the kind of person who's going to hide outside Set's range of detection range.
　There's no doubt that it's nothing but trouble.

"I'm sorry, then I'll be back as soon as I can, so hang in there until then... Set."
"Gruly!"

　Ray's words make Seto cry and bend over.
　Ray straddles his back and Seto runs straight out.
　Usually I run up into the sky after a few steps of running, but now I can't rule out the possibility that someone is watching here.
　If that's the case, then it's likely to be found by the enemy if you pretend to fly here.
　and, if found, they could have moved over the treacherous Trent forest.
　Still, Seto's five senses could have found someone to follow, but you don't have to go out of your way to risk it.
　Now, anyway, we had to go to the underground space as soon as possible to make sure it was safe.
　Ray rode on Sett... just as he was going through the woods of Trent.
