Passing dried fruit to the children to stop crying and quieting them down, Ray walks through the guillem.
　I still feel uncomfortable when I came to Gilmoo.
　Moreover, given the momentary murder I felt when I gave the children dried fruit, there is no doubt that this discomfort was created by the influence of those who harm me.
　That being the case, it was highly likely that under the present circumstances the act of transporting the trees of the Trent forest would cause trouble.
　Ray understandably knows how valuable an alchemist is to Gilm.
　That being the case, it's out of the question to take a dangerous opponent here and go where the alchemists are.

(If possible, I'd like to get rid of those who are aiming at me... more specifically, those who are trying to kill me...)Don't show your tail.)

　I'd like to do something about it as soon as possible.
　That was Ray's honest feeling, but there was no sign of his enemy sticking out.
　We still walk around the city in this way, but there is no sign of the enemy attacking us.

"Glu?"

　When I saw Ray's worried state, I asked her what to do.
　There's probably a little apologetic about it because they can't find anyone they think they're after.
　With Ray and Sett working together, it was Sett's job to search for enemies.
　If that's the case, you might think it's your responsibility to not find an enemy.
　But Ray caresses her head comfortingly.

"Don't worry. In this case, the enemy was superior to me. ... Outside of Guillum, it's not that Sett can't find him."
"Grull".

　a rasping set at Ray's words
　He seemed grateful for what he said, but he still looked a little depressed.
　As Ray walks around the city, he searches for something to comfort Seto... and suddenly finds a large crowd.
　Getting into a crowd in the presence of a murderous person is tantamount to suicide.
　Ray knew that, but he entered the crowd with the intention of encouraging Seto and... above all, thinking that he might be able to lure the enemy.
　Seto was a little surprised at first, but did he still realize Ray's idea... or was simply intrigued by the crowd, so he went straight to the crowd with Ray.
　What floats out of the crowd is feelings of joy, pleasure, and fun.

(It doesn't seem like a fight.)

　At first, I thought it was just everyone watching the fight, but what I heard from the crowd was laughter.
　...or, in the course of a fight, some kind of -- provoking the other person -- laughs, but as far as I'm concerned, it seemed different.

"Well, what is this crowd?"
"What? ... Seto-chan..."

　When Ray sees Sett, the young man murmurs in surprise.
　It's not unusual to call a man Seto-chan.
　At least Ray knows a few others, so he doesn't seem particular about it and starts talking again.

"Oh, it's Seto. And what about this crowd? I can hear some cheerful music."

　With so many people there, it's impossible to see what's ahead of the crowd.
　We decided that there was no need to go that far in the current situation, as we could see by using Slapnil's shoes or by having them fly on Sett's back.

"What? Oh, yeah. There's a... street performer coming. That's pretty amazing, and we're all looking at it like this."
"Oh, you're a street performer,"

　Street performers are not so rare.
　I sometimes see it even in guillem.
　For some reason, Gilmoo has a large number of residents, so it's a very easy place for street performers to do in terms of earning money. … However, it's only for street performers who are talented.
　Gilmoo has many talented adventurers, and in the case of street performances that use physical strength and athletic nerves, it is common to say that the adventurers of the audience are more amazing than street performers.
　In that sense, the street performer who can excite the inhabitants of Gilmoo to this extent was definitely an amazing...a skilled street performer.

"What should I do? Shall I see it?"
"Gruly!"

　Ray's words cheerfully purr.
　It seemed completely forgotten that Seto was going to lure people who would be after him.
　However, it is true that it is easier to deal with the situation if the other person moves directly.
　With Seto, Ray goes through the crowd.
　Since the set is nearly three meters long, if people of that size go through the crowd, naturally many people will be pushed away.
　Fortunately, however, even those who have seen street performers don't blame them when they think they are set.
　On the contrary, I'll even make room for Seto to see better.
　It's a testament to how much Seth is loved in Gilm.
　...and with that set, Ray was sewing his way through the crowd.
　Then Ray and Sett finally succeed in seeing street performers.

"Wow..."

　Ray's mouth gave an involuntary cry of surprise.
　After all, the figure of street performers is amazing.
　That's the kind of figure that makes the expression "balloon"
　Still, juggling a dagger while moving around in front of everyone is good enough to convince him that he is so popular as a street performer.
　Like a street performer, his face is made up... Ray reminds me of a circus clown he saw on TV when he was in Japan.
　Of course, a man's makeup like a balloon is not just a clown.
　All I can say is that I get that impression.

"Huff. Look, look, look, look at the dagger swimming freely in the sky.

　A man who makes such a high jump that he seems to be stepping on a trampoline, going up and down.
　If you just look at your body -- I don't know exactly because I'm dressed -- you look pretty fat.
　That's the kind of body that makes me think I'm well over 100kg.
　Nevertheless, even though he's been around this much, he hasn't got a single sweat on his face.
　That alone is clear that he has physical abilities that are not worthy of his appearance.
　Suddenly, a street performer looked at Ray for a moment.
　Nevertheless, as long as he is accompanied by Seth, Ray is strangely convinced that even street performers should be fascinated by Seth.
　Even a street performer with this skill would be surprised to see Seto.
　Nevertheless, the street performer sees Ray and Sett in a real moment and quickly returns to his art.

(There are... ten daggers? No, there are more. About fifteen? It's amazing to keep juggling that number of daggers without moving. It must be quite difficult to juggle that number of daggers.

　Dagger is naturally edged.
　The blade may not be cut off, but if you take the tip wrong, you can get hurt.
　If you see them wearing gloves, it's possible that they're bladeproof gloves.
　Still, Ray looked at the man admiringly, saying it was amazing to continue juggling with a dagger.
　But... maybe the man made some sort of mistake, suddenly the juggling daggers collide with each other, making a shrill noise around him, and the daggers fly towards Ray.
　Nevertheless, Ray, who knew the trajectory of the dagger, did not seem to jump back from the spot in particular in surprise.
　and the dagger actually spun into the ground right next to Ray...

"What!"

　The very moment he saw the dagger, a sharp, murderous sensation from behind, he tried to move semi-reflectively... but it was hard to move, perhaps because of the large audience, and he was delayed for a moment.The other party must have been aiming for the very moment.
　A dagger blow is fired from behind at Ray's back.

"Geez... I see!"

　Feeling a sharp pain in his back, Ray kicks back half forcefully, facing forward.
　a blow that destroys the opponent's legs or knees...or crotch in some cases.

"Oh, my God!"

　The shrieks of a man from behind, as well as the shrieks of his feet.
　So people around him finally decided something was wrong, so he distanced himself from Ray and Sett.
　Finally, Ray is free to move and looks at the man lying behind him.
　Maybe it's because the audience made room.
　The man, holding his bleeding crotch, was fainting, blowing bubbles from his mouth.

"... Hey, Ray. Are you all right? He's got a dagger in your back.

　A person who knows Ray asks him anxiously.
　Ray, if not as famous as Seto, is in his own right.
　The man concerned about Ray probably knew about him in that way.
　Ray checks his back in the dragon lobe, just in case... relieved that the dagger's blow did not penetrate the dragon lobe.

"It's all right. This robe is just a magic item. It doesn't matter if it's a dagger blow."

　To be exact, it was made from hundreds of years of living dragon scales and skins... also by Esta Noor, an alchemist of the Zepail family and the greatest alchemist of all time.
　It's not very much, but it's not something that can be described in words like that.
　I don't, but... to be honest with you, it's troublesome, and the dragon robes themselves can't be seen as such a powerful magic item with their ability to cover up, so I'm misleading.
　A dragon lobe, made with scales between the skin of a dragon, cannot defend itself by a half‐hearted attack.
　...but it's definitely a very high-performance magic item with functions like simple air conditioning.
　Feeling the appreciation of the dragon robes, Ray turns his eyes to the fainting man by blowing bubbles from his mouth again.
　With all that blow in the crotch, it's definitely a long way off waking up.

(There was no other way than that.)

　As a man, I can imagine how much pain it would be to be kicked in the crotch... not just lightly, but with Ray's power.
　In some cases, the hip joint could have been broken before the hip was crushed.
　I knew it, but I couldn't control it because it was such an instant reaction.

(If there had been a little less people, we could have attacked him with our elbows, but, given that he had a dagger, I don't know what other weapons he had, it would have been reckless.)

　As he gazes at the fainted man, Seto rubs his face against him, crying out his apology.
　Originally, Seto had to be the first to notice the enemy approaching.
　However, he apologized, judging that it was delayed because he was concentrating on street performances.
　That said, it's not that strange for Ray that Seto didn't notice.
　Techniques, skills, magic items... I don't know how to do this, but the other person was completely out of the way.
　Then he came right behind Ray and for the first time showed his murder in the moment he actually stabbed his dagger.
　It's unreasonable for Ray to suggest that Seto handle the situation.

"At any rate... oh, sorry, but can you get me some guards? I don't think it's going to go on like this."
"No, no, no. Why are you so calm when you're almost killed?"

　The man who asked Ray if he was OK a while ago was about to be killed, but he didn't seem to care at all.
　But Ray opens his mouth reassuringly.

"To be honest, this is not unusual when you're an adventurer. You don't have to worry about it that much. ... But I'm glad you worried about me."

　I told you so.
