2194 twenty-fourth episode



Ray, who entered the blue spear hideout, saw several men just about to leave the building.
 Naturally, those men belong to the Blue Spears.
 And... of course, the aim was to defeat Ray when he attacked him.
 However...

(Spear? It's only natural from the name of the organization, but it was unlucky to see me inside, not outside the building.)

 The blue spear, as the organization calls it, is in the hands of the men Ray encountered, the same blue spear that the men on the front had.
 A spear is undoubtedly a very powerful weapon in the sense that it has a wide distance.
 It's such an excellent weapon that in some cases you can compete even with someone who is better than you.
 The length of the interval is a great part of the battle.
 But... such a spear does not always have an advantage.
 The place where a spear can be used is the place where it can be wielded freely.
 In other words, in this way in a building... or in the event that a spear encounters an enemy while many people are moving together, it will never do you any favours.
 It would have been a different story if this was only a small place to travel alone.

"What!"

 The men's mouths startle when they suddenly encounter Ray before leaving the building.
 But Ray doesn't seem to care about such a man as it should be, and he steps forward at once.
 You don't have to say anything to the other person at all.
 When he's here... and when he's carrying a blue spear, he's definitely in the gang of assassins who are trying to kill Ray's life.
 Rey's fists, which come forward silently, are easily buried in the body of one of his enemies, holding a blue spear.
 Just like the man I met outside, it's a painstaking touch that comes into my hands.
 The man who blows along with the feel makes it difficult for other men to deal with.
 Because it hindered our side's movement as a result of blowing off and hitting our side.

"Hey, hey!"

 I wonder how this, too, would have worked out to some extent if it were a battle in a large area.
 The only thing a man can do when he hits a blown man is to pull him away from his movement.
 And... as I drew him up, Ray was already in front of me.

"That's too bad,"
"Oops!"

 The renewed fist breaks the man's ribs.
 But... fortunately, the man beside the man who was beaten was able to take action to deal with Ray, even though he was disturbed.

"My dear fellow!"

 a spear that is thrust out quickly while screaming
 It is impossible to wield a spear in this narrow space, but if it is an act of thrusting, the current situation will change completely.
 It is also difficult to avoid the thrust of a spear, as there is no space to swing it.
 That's just normal, though.
 A spear thrust out at the abdomen is avoided by retreating its right foot back to its half.
 On the contrary, he grips the handle of an evaded spear.
 That alone left the man who fired the thrust unable to move his spear.

"What are you doing? You guys, too. Hurry up and stab me!"

 The first man to attack Ray was probably the most skillful leader of all.
 The others, following the man's instructions, tried to give Ray a sharp thrust.

"Oops!"

 A sudden blow from the side blows the man who tries to release the thrust and stops moving against another man.
 a man unconscious of what had happened and unconscious of the impact on the head
 But... the man probably didn't know what had happened, but some others had a good idea of what had happened.
 Ray held his spear and pushed his arm.
 The leader was used as a weapon against his allies, never letting go of his spear.
 The reason why he couldn't let go of his spear at once was because he had such a strong feeling for it, or because he didn't expect his thrust to be stopped.
 Regardless of the reason, Ray's inability to let go of the moment he grabbed his spear led to the worst possible outcome.
 The man, wielded as a club of flesh, causes damage to his companions, and then finally lets go of his spear... where he hits his companions again, causing damage to their surroundings.
 a vicious act committed in a confined space
 However, the tragedy for those present is not over yet.
 When the man with the spear blew away, the man who was still safe tries to attack Ray reflexively, but the next moment Ray lets go of his hand and wields his free spear.
 It's not like throwing a spear at someone, but a blow like that if you get it right, that's a blow like that's all right.
 Also, spears are light.

 As a result, Ray's spears beat the men one after another.
 Fortunately, Ray's grip was so close to the tip of the ear that it was the handle of the spear that was shaken.
 a blow that is not a blow
 But if he had been wielded by Ray's power, he might have been happier than the blade would have killed him at one blow.
 Many people broke the bone where the handle of the spear hit, and the broken bone ripped the flesh and ripped the skin.
 All the members of the Blue Spears, who had come to cheer Ray in less than minutes, had collapsed to the floor.
 Some die from a spear handle hitting the head, a skull caving in, or a broken neck, but Ray doesn't seem to have any particular emotion.
 For Ray, this is a person who belongs to, or is an enemy of, an organization that is seeking his own life.
 Perhaps, indeed, some of them were completely unaware that they were aiming for Ray.
 But that doesn't matter to Ray.  
 That's because he thinks that since he was hostile to him, he would be naturally prepared to do this.

"Now,"

 After confirming that everyone is dead or unconscious, Ray throws the spear in his hand around him.
 On the outside, he took the blue spear from the opponent he had knocked down, but the spear that Ray had used as a weapon was distorted by the impact of the battle, and blood, body fluids, and parts of the eyeballs were attached to the handle, so he did not want to continue using it.
 The spears that others had were Ray looking around, but the spears that others had were stained with the blood of their owners and companions, and the bodies and unconscious bodies, so he did not dare to collect them.
 Collecting spears is just an opportunity for Ray.

"Now that you've made so much noise, of course you must have noticed my existence, right? ... Well, it's possible that you've noticed Seto and associated him with me."

 mumble one's way through a building
 Unlike the beginning, however, there is no sign of anyone coming out.
 Are you hiding scared that Ray is here, or are you gathering people somewhere to focus on attacking him?
 Ray didn't know what was going on, but now that he's beating up on the organization that made the decision to attack him, he thinks there's no need to hesitate.
 I entered the first room I found, which was empty.
 ...yes. It literally means nothing.
 One of the chairs and tables would have understood that there were some traces of life, but nothing of that kind exists.

"What kind of room is it... a waiting room?"

 That being the case, it's no wonder there are chairs and sofas in the waiting room.
 For the time being, I'm going to the next room because it's empty.

(If you're going to ambush me, wouldn't it be better to move in such a room? ... though that means you can't escape from my attack.)

 If you have furniture, you can hide it.
 However, in such an empty room, you can't hide as it should be.

(I don't think it's a warehouse.)

 When it comes to empty space, it can be used as a warehouse.
 There was also a possibility that Ray could have obtained some kind of magic item if this was a warehouse.

(No, even if you think about it now, ... first in the next room.)

 I decided to open the door of the next room...

"Huh! Huh! What is it?As soon as the door is opened, a frightened voice comes into Ray's ear.
 Ray had a feeling that the enemy would be waiting for him, but he was in the room, a feeble middle-aged man.

"Well..."

 Ray doesn't know how to react to this either.
 For example, if you have a man with a muscular and bad face, you can recognize yourself as the one you've been waiting for and take on the fight.
 Or, even though those with blue spears in their hands are waiting, they can choose to attack.
 But... when there's someone that's obviously unexpected, Ray hesitates and asks for a momentarily.

"Do you belong to the Blue Spear?"

 Ray asks with a feeling that this attitude is somehow different, but as expected, the man shakes his head at Ray's words.

"No, that's not true. Wow, wow, I'm... just brought into this building for some reason..."
"Have you brought me here?" -- "Well, it's an organization behind the scenes, and I think it's strange to do such a thing."

 Ray was convinced by the man's words, but at the same time he wondered why he needed to bring such a feeble looking middle‐aged man.
 For example, if this is a young and beautiful woman, you can see why Ray brought her.
 But that's a poor middle-aged man.
 Ray had no idea what business had brought him here.

"You said you had a case. What's the case?"
"No, that's... "

 The man hesitates, wondering if he ever expected to be asked why he was brought in.

"What? Why can't you tell me?"
"No! Actually, I used to make decorations. People from this organization brought me here when they found out about it."
"... Decorations?"
"Yes, it seems to be popular in this organization to make the butt of a spear your own..."
"Oh, I see,"

 I understand, but the organization behind him is like... how about being fashionable?

(I heard that even in the Sengoku period in Japan, people wore helmets and armor for their own use and stood out... well, I don't think a warlord would do the same thing as a person from behind the scenes.)

 It's not entirely credible, given the fact that he's been targeted by assassins, though he's not the enemy.
 I even wonder if the blue spear members are trying to catch me off guard.
 That said, I'm not clearly hostile, and on the contrary, I can't touch someone who doesn't seem to be a bad guy.

"First of all, this blue spear organization is going to collapse today. If you stay here, you may be caught up in a fight, so you had better get out of here. ... Oh, before that, do you know where the others of the blue spear have gone?"
"No, I don't know. We all left all of a sudden."
"I see,"

 Although half expected, Ray still felt disappointed.

"Then get out of the building. In some cases, all the buildings may disappear."
"Oh, all right. Then I'm going to leave now. Thank you for your help."

 Say so and bow away again and again.
