2184 Episode 2184



black corpses scattered around
 a corpse that was cut up and down or cut to the left and right by Ray's shaking death size
 As a result, much of the surrounding area is mostly worthy of being called a murderous corpse.
 Naturally, this would leave the dead body splattered with internal organs on the ground.
 But recently, as summer approaches, temperatures are rising.
 In that case, not only the smell of blood, but also the smell of internal organs drifts around due to high temperatures.
 What do you do with such a corpse, let alone those who have captured it alive?
 It was Ray who said he would store the body.
 Ray's mistrings can hold the corpse.
 Also, the guards probably wanted Ray to clean up the dead body, since it was Ray who made it.
 Ray, too, decides that leaving the body as it is would be unsavory in many ways, and puts it in the mistling, though a little reluctant.
 Regardless of the heat, the visceral odors caused by it can't be helped by wearing dragon robes.
 So, as quickly as possible, they put them in the mistling... and what remained around them were men with tricuspid daggers, who fainted alive.

"And what are these guys going to do? They're tied up so that they can't move, and they're going to bite the monkey so that they don't drink poison or bite their tongue."
"Wait a minute. I'll get some support."

 That's what two of the guards say so.
 The number of black people who fainted was five.
 In that case, it would be difficult for five guards to take him to the station.
 We needed more guards to do so.

"Oh, I see... but be careful. Especially, he seems to be leading men in black, but he's quite strong. It can be difficult for you to hold him down."

 The words that came out of Ray's mouth were a definite fact.
 Gillum's guards often catch adventurers on the rampage.
 That's why you need to have a decent ability... but that's just what you deserve.
 The man with the tricuspid dagger was quite powerful.
 If you try to do something about the normal adventurer that the guards envision, you'll be easily killed.
 In order to prevent this from happening, will there be a skilled guard, or will there be any number of guards?
 When Ray explains, the three remaining guards nod with stern faces.

"All right. I'll give you Ray's advice. ... But why is there so much trouble today?"
"If you tell me that, to be honest, I'm in trouble. Other guards told me a while ago, but I didn't do anything to cause this to happen. ... At least recently, I haven't had any quarrels with the organizations behind me."
"If I were to live normally, I would hardly have a quarrel with an organization behind me."

 One of the guards says dumbfoundedly, looking at the black clothes tied up.
 In fact, selling fights to organizations behind the scenes risks sending in assassins like this.
 Even if we didn't get that far, we could have been threatened.
 Given the circumstances around that time, it is tantamount to suicidal behavior to have a quarrel with an organization behind the scenes.
 ...however, unlike Japan, which Ray knows, this world is not more about quantity than quality.
 No, if it's up to a certain line, quantity is better than quality, but if it's over that line, quality exceeds quantity.
 And there are not only Ray but also people who cross a certain line in a place called Gilm.
 Such people are able to respond even to a fight against a back organization.
 ...and Ray was the very epitome.

"Tell me about it, not to me, but to the other organization behind me. ... But I think I've come to be able to get along fairly well with the other organization behind me.

 It wasn't exaggerated, it was an unmistakable truth.
 All the organizations behind Ray have been badly damaged.
 Luckily, they would have pulled out of Gillum before they hit Ray in earnest, but only a few of them did.
 As a result, it was a tacit understanding that it would not pay to interfere with Ray as much as possible.
 We haven't signed a contract clearly, so Ray only knows what he's probably going to do, but he's definitely been doing pretty well lately.
 However, today is the last time I's life.

(You got a magic item that creates this sense of strangeness, or someone who can use his skills, and attacked me, but for that matter... it's a completely different feeling between these black outfits and the Darves.)

 People in black show that they are assassins or members of the back organization, but Durb, who has a balloon-like figure and makeup on his face and reminds him of a clown, clearly stands out.
 ...as he fought with Seto in his own way, his skill would be considerably better.
 At least it seemed to me to be superior to the blacks Ray had fought against, or to those with tricuspid daggers.

(Or is that Darb the real identity of this discomfort? ... Well, let's try to show up in the slums, and maybe the organizations will come in contact and understand the situation.)

 If you have an enemy for any reason, root it out.
 Some slums are hostile to Ray, but others are indebted and friendly to him over the demolition of the Gigant Turtle.
 That being the case, I think it's easier to gather information.
 The more I thought about it, the more I felt it would be better to go directly to the slums than to walk around the guillem and lure the enemy out.

(All right. If you put these guys in charge of the guards, why don't you go to the slums? If they're hostile, we'll just have to deal with them in a proper way.)

 Thinking about the battle in the slums, Ray also calculates that there could be some kind of magic item in the back organization.
 Will it be a nuisance or a treasure after annihilation?
 Ray didn't know that yet.
 Anyway, Ray decides that if he moves well, he will likely be able to obtain the magic items that the organization behind him has.
 ...the assassins who are actually attacking Ray are those of the organizations behind the scenes that have no connection with the organizations that originally belonged to him, but have survived without natural selection.
 It was even a big miscalculation for the people of the back organization that existed in Gilm from ancient times when Ray was coming.
 Why did we call on Rey... or, in a way, have to get a gunshot?
 If I had found out about it, I would have been in a semi-panic state.
 Or they might even attack the emerging organization that caused the incident, not to impose their own convenience on us.

"Ray? Hey, no way... you're not thinking of anything strange, are you?"

 The guardsman who was talking to Ray questioned whether he was thinking of something strange... an attack on a background organization.
 As a guard, I don't like the organization behind the scenes.
 There is no doubt that the existence of an organization behind it has suppressed some of the crimes committed in the guillem.
 If there is no behind-the-scenes organization, people living in slums commit crimes on their own initiative, resulting in unnecessary damage.
 But the organizations behind the scenes aren't pulling them in and using them well enough to run wild.
 That's why, as a security guard, he feared, the clash between Ray and the other organizations would cause serious damage to the other organizations behind him.
 ...the security guard must have a firm understanding of Ray's ability, as he believes that the behind-the-scenes organization collides with Ray's individual, and that it is the behind-the-scenes organization that will be severely damaged.

"Well, now that we've been sent assassins like this, it's a little less interesting to see one side of the fence."
"Well, if you decide what to do without interesting fun, I'll be in trouble. And..."

 The guard looked a little dumbfounded and told Ray, but he changed his face and looked at the black clothes.
 Ray wonders about the significance of it.

"And? Is there something?"
"No, if there were people who wore uniform clothes like this, there would be rumors. In fact, I know some of them, but I've never seen them dressed like this.""...what? Aren't these guys behind the scenes?"
"No, I'm sure you're doing something like assassination, but at least it's not an organization I know behind the scenes."

 After hearing that, Ray looks at the black costumes again.
 Nevertheless, Ray has had several conflicts with the back organization, but that doesn't mean he's familiar with the back organization in general.

(Are you familiar with marina?)

 Marina, who has worked as a guildmaster at this guild for many years, may have a lot of information about the guild.
 That's the information you'll need, given that the organizations behind you and the adventurers can clash for some reason.

(But even Marina wouldn't understand this strange feeling. Then, it would be better to ask the people above the assassins directly... no, aren't they from Guillum's organization? Then where on earth... what did you come all the way to Guillum for? No, to kill me.)

 Ray understood that there were people other than residents of Gilm who wanted to kill him.
 No, aristocrats in Guilm... collect information in Guilm, run by Dusker, who leads the Neutralists, or the royalists and aristocrats who are sent to obtain information and materials from the only frontier of the kingdom of Milliana, may think strange things.
 In the first place, the second and third sons who could not become the family heads were often dispatched, but there are some who think that they would make a triumphal return with some achievement.
 For such people, a ray is, in a sense, a good game.
 ...however, if you were to make a poor attempt to bite your prey, you would be eaten the other than that.

"Hey!"

 When Ray is worried, he suddenly hears a voice like that.
 Looking to the voice, I saw more than a dozen guards there.
 Some of them were guards who came to watch Ray enter Gilm when he was attacked at the place where he was a street performer, or at a stall selling poisoned fruit water.
 The guards are quite busy now that they are building extensions.
 That's what I'm asking adventurers to do, without even getting around the city.
 The arrival of more than a dozen guards in the midst of this may mean that Ray places so much importance on being targeted by the assassins.
 How much does Ray play in the extension work going on in Gilm?
 If you know it, it's only natural that this should happen.

"You must be very busy to-day,"

 It's the guards I've seen so many times today who tell Ray that.
 As might be expected, when attacked over and over again like this, the ridiculous color becomes stronger than worrying about Ray.

"Well, I'm pretty busy. For the time being, I'm going to go and see Marina and see if she has any information about these guys."
"... I see, Mr. Marina?"

 The guard nods approvingly at Marina's name.
 As long as I'm a guard in Guillum, I know Marina naturally.
 Well, it would be strange not to know a beautiful woman as beautiful as Marina as a guillem man.
 She had a party with Marina and now lives in the house... the guards looked at her envious eyes.
