The moment Ray peeks through a hole in the wall, he sees a man wielding a dagger at him from the end of the hole, and he reacts instantly, without stopping.
　go forward instead of running back...
　The house in front of us is pretty shabby, and that's the kind of building that could eventually be destroyed by wind and rain.
　That's why Ray stepped forward, destroying the wall.
　So far, why did he come forward? It's obvious from the man's face that he tried to wield a dagger.

"Ugh!"

　You never thought you'd come at me instead of running away in this situation.
　The dagger-wielding man's dagger-wielding movement slowed momentarily from agitation... to Ray's point of view.

"Oops!"

　a fist wielded to take advantage of the opponent's agitation
　The dagger, averting the blow, hits the body of the assassin and blows it away.
　Since the building is ready to collapse at any time, the man knocked off by Ray is blown away by destroying the wall.

`Whoa,'

　Ray goes out of the building, rejoicing that he is out of danger for the time being.
　There was a man who said he would guide him to the Black Dog's hideout... and he would have insisted on looking into this building.
　Now that I've done this, I've betrayed myself as a matter of course.
　Thinking that way, I turned my eyes to the man, and found him lying on the ground, bleeding from his mouth.

(What happened?)

　Ray thought for a moment that Seto had attacked him, but seeing Seto confused, it's clear that's not the case.
　It was reasonable to assume that this had happened by some other means.
　But now that he's stuck, the next thing I'm going to do is knock down the dagger.
　I beat him off a while ago, but I don't think it made him out of action.

"Look at him, Seto,"

　Calling out to Seto, Ray turns to the man who blew him up.
　with one's back to the sound of a cet

"I think it's around here... Oh, there it is."

　Ray found the man who blew him up, but he didn't appear to get up while he was lying on the ground.
　When Ray approached the man questioning what was it... he found out why.
　What a dagger he had stuck in his head!
　It's deep enough to destroy the brain.
　For a moment, Ray wondered if the impact of his own blow had caused this to happen, but when he looked closely, he saw the blowed man holding the dagger and stabbing it through his temple.
　It was a scene that clearly seemed like suicide.

"What the heck has happened?"

　What came out of Ray's mouth was a dumb remark.
　The man who guided me to this place and the man who was aiming at me in the house.
　Ray understood rightly that the two were part of the assassins now targeting him.
　But still... do you do this kind of thing just because the assassination failed?
　In the first place, if you're going to kill yourself, you can take poison or anything.
　There was no doubt that those who went out of their way to stab themselves in the head with a dagger would be quite frightened.
　It's natural for Ray to wonder why he's going to kill himself.
　However, as far as you can see, the dagger is in his own hands.
　It was obvious that someone had not killed the man.
　That would mean that the suicide was clearly done by himself.
　...and Ray didn't know why he did it. I didn't know, but there was no doubt that the assassin had died and couldn't extract information.

"...can't help it,"

　I don't want to touch a corpse like this if possible.
　But if we examine this corpse, we may find out... why he died this way.
　Decide so and put the body in a mistling.

"Well... I can't help but wonder what's going on over there."

　muttering, Ray headed for Sett's place, where he was... as I should have expected, a corpse.
　the corpse of a man who said he would guide Ray to the black dog's hideout
　I thought it was bad because I had originally vomited blood from my mouth.
　But first of all, he judged that it was necessary to investigate the person who had attacked him.

"Oh... I wonder what happened to this is what happened.

　It's too late to breathe out like that. It's too late.
　All I can do now is head for the Black Dog hideout.
　So I will show you a letter of introduction for Marina and get some information about this incident.
　I don't know if I can do it or not.
　Still, when I thought about this incident, it seemed essential to get information from you.

(And yet, this is the man who said he would guide you to Black Dog's hideout, whether he was manipulating it by hypnosis or something, or whether he had been a companion of the enemy... the question is that he could not go to Black Dog's hideout carelessly.)

　The man who had said he would guide him to Black Dog's hideout had tried to trap him.
　Then, if we asked someone where Black Dog's hideout was, we could never deny the possibility that the man would attack us.
　Now that the person who first offered to guide me was like this, this incident is troubling... yes, it's only natural that I think it's very troubling.

"Well, how do we really get to Black Dog's hideout, then? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .."

　If you do so, there's no doubt that this case will be a lot of trouble.
　No, it could have been such a big uproar that I couldn't be bothered by.
　That's why I need to think carefully about what to do with my move this time.

"Well, set. What do you think we should do in this case?"
"Glu?"

　Ray's words give Seto a troubled throat.
　It's not just Ray who doesn't know what to do, it's Seto.
　Therefore, when Ray asks me what I'm going to do, I can't immediately answer what I'm going to do with Seto.
　Ray, however, understood it somehow and... spoke to Sett in a sort of half-change.

"Oh, yes. Sorry. I have a lot to think about in the future. ... But yeah. Do I need to find someone to show me the way again first?"
"Grull!"

　Ray screams at Seto's words, "That's right!"
　I wonder if Ray, like the guy lying bleeding in front of his eyes, would talk to him and ask him if he didn't trust him to be the guide.

"Huh? ... oh, poison?"

　When Ray tries to stow the bleeding man in the mistling, he realizes that the man did not receive Sett's powerful blow.
　When I first saw him spitting out blood, I thought that he might have had his internal organs destroyed by a blow from Sett, or broken his ribs and hurt his internal organs."
　Judging from the state of the fallen man, he doesn't seem to be so badly injured.
　Of course, there is a possibility that he was seriously injured by Seto's blow, but considering the man Ray had just seen committing suicide by stabbing a dagger in his head, it would be right to think that Seto committed suicide by some means rather than killing him.

"This man, too... came to dismantle the Gigant Turtle."

　Ray muttered, looking at the man's corpse.
　He had seen the face several times as he was dismantling the gigant turtles in the winter.Ray was one of the people who gathered when he came to the slums, and the man had tried to assassinate him, whether he was convinced or manipulated by something.
　When asked if it's acceptable, he can't do it. I can't do it, but... as long as it's a slum, Ray is strangely convinced that it's possible.

"Guru..."

　Seth rubs her face against Ray, as he makes a comforting sound.

"Well, I don't mind that much. The first thing we need to do now is go to Black Dog's hideout. ... Well, the question is how to find him."

　To be honest, Ray wanted to be excused that the person he spoke to happened to be an assassin.
　That being said, there is no doubt that we need to talk to someone in this case.

"I wish I had heard from Marina... ...but I don't know if you can count on me to explain the directions to the slums."

　Slums can be buildings that break down in a matter of days, or they can be built in a new way -- with materials around them.
　As a result, the road can change quickly.
　For that reason, it is even said that no one currently lives in a slum knows all the streets in the slum.
　There's nothing we can do about the way from Marina to the Black Dog's hideout if the way has changed.

"I don't know what to do with it. ... For the time being, what to be here, and what to move about?"

　Putting the body of a man believed to have died of poison in a mistling, Ray leaves with Sett.
　The first place to go is a crowded place.
　...the more likely you are to go to a crowded place, the more likely you are to be targeted by the assassins.
　But I had to see someone to know where Black Dog was.
　A few minutes' walk away from the hit area.
　Eventually we arrive at a place with a lot of people.
　Many people, however, are talking to their peers rather than to work.

(If you say it's a slum, you may be right.)

　However, people living in slums had to eat to survive, and they had to earn money to eat.
　How on earth do people who have been talking like this since the day... to be honest with Ray, I was wondering.

(Possibly a crime like a slum?)

　Crimes such as robbery and theft would not be so difficult for a slum dweller;
　In that case, however, if you try to steal from a bad opponent, you'll be attacked back.
　After all, this is a remote guillem.
　With so many skilled adventurers, you need to make a good choice about who to attack.
　...however, it may be advantageous for slum dwellers in that sense, as extensions are now under way, and some people cannot come to Gilm.

"Hey,"
"Is that... Ray?"
"Oh, I've got a Gryphon with me, and I'm sure,"
"But what in the slums?"
"Do you know? If you're curious, you ask."

　Some people whisper at Ray's appearance.
　It sounded natural to Ray, who had five keen senses.
　They are just suspicious that they have come here, and they don't seem to want to kill them like assassins.
　So Ray didn't seem particular about it and left it alone.

(Well, who should I ask about Black Dog's hideout?)

　Ray was thinking like that in a slum or high street, but suddenly he saw a sight.
　one of the buildings in front of one's eyes
　There was a man in the building, relatively solid compared to the house where Ray was recently attacked.
　I wonder if he's a little older than the man who said he'd show Ray around.
　Such a man beckons Ray for a moment meaningfully.
　Considering the incident that hit me earlier, it was very suspicious. It was doubtful, but... as long as there was no clue, it was true that we should go there now.

"Is this what you say if you don't go into a tiger's den, you won't get a tiger'

　muttering toward the building
　...for some reason, the slum dwellers around them look away when they find out that Ray and Sett are approaching the building.
　Doubtful about it, stand in front of the building ready to deal with whatever the other person does, and call out to the man in the building with no doors or anything.

"What do you want from me?"
"You're the one who wants to know, aren't you, Black Dog's hideout?"

　That's what Ray said.
