2197 Episode 2197



After smashing his blue spear, Ray leaves the building.
 Then there were more men on the ground than somehow Ray had knocked down as he entered the building.
 When Ray saw it, he judged it to be a member of the Blue Spears, probably because of the scattered blue spears around the men.
 As far as Ray knows, only those with blue spears use such weapons.
 ...No, maybe there's an individual, but when we get together, the story changes.

"Well, that's right. It's not just the people in the building, it's just the people who were out there."
"Gruly!"

 Compliment and compliment, Seth approaches Ray and chants.
 Ray caresses his head, praising Seto.

"Ray, how was it? No, I can tell by looking at it."

 Lazaria, who was supposed to have been hiding behind the building a short distance from the blue spear hideout, approaches him and asks if he feels safe when he sees Ray and Sett.
 Normally, Lazaria doesn't want others to find her.
 However, for this time only, did Ray and Sett's attitude make him feel relieved?
 ... in fact, all the blue spears in the hideout have been knocked down or killed by Ray, and those outside the building have fainted by Seto.

(I don't think he's dead, but his hands and feet are bent in a direction that shouldn't be bent.)

 She probably decided that Seto didn't have to forgive herself or anyone who came after Ray.
 However, if Seto really wields his power without moderation, he may not be able to break one or two of his arms and legs, but rather blow them out of his body.
 Given that it's not that far, Ray can understand that this is definitely Seto's way of doing it.
 Unfortunately, Ray didn't understand why he had given the other person he was aiming at.

(Probably because if your hands and feet blow away, they will rot and smell bad...?)

 I nod to Lazaria, convinced of Seto's actions for such a reason.

"Oh, I have got rid of the blue spear boss in this hideout, and his men, too, who have heard his will, will probably not attack me any more. ... But I don't know what the assassin will do."

 It is unlikely that there was an assassin sent from a blue spear in the hideout.
 So what judgment will the assassins make and what action will they take when they receive this report from the survivors of the Blue Spears?
 Unfortunately, Ray didn't understand that either.
 However, as I said to the Blue Spear boss, if he attacks me, I'll just respond accordingly.

"...I knew it, but it's really strong."

 Lazaria calls out to Ray with an air of serenownedness.
 Living in Guilm and belonging to Black Dogs, who are good at gathering information, Lazaria naturally had a lot of information about Ray.
 However, the reason why Black Dogs have a lot of information about Ray is probably related to the fact that someone who adores Marina like her sister or mother is the top black dog.
 Anyway, that's why Lazaria knew more about Ray than she could.
 I knew it, but... when I was told that I had destroyed one of the organizations behind me so easily, I realized my ability again.

"Even if it looks like this, don't mention a different name... eh?"
"Glu".

 Say Ray's words in agreement with Seto.
 When Lazaria sees one of them, she can't decide what to say, but she naturally smiles.
 It's a loss to worry about the Lays.

"Well, you mean the blue spear is good enough, then?"
"Oh, I'd like the next organization."
"... I'm really going to ask you, but don't you need a break? I know a good place."

 Normally, I wouldn't go to destroy one organization and then go to destroy another.
 There were physical problems and mental fatigue should not have made a fool of course.
 Nevertheless, Ray did not seem particularly tired and asked Lazaria where the next organization was.
 Lazaria's words make Ray nod that there is nothing wrong.

"I don't mind. I mean, if possible, I want to get rid of this trouble today. I don't know exactly how many organizations are going to destroy it, but if possible, I want to hurry."
"...what?"

 The words that came out of Ray's mouth were enough of a surprise to Lazaria, who understood Ray to some extent.

"Are you serious? The number of organizations is close to ten. Do you want to destroy them all in one day?"
"That's what I'm going to do. ... But I don't think I'm going to seriously destroy all the organizations. I think I'm going to surrender if I destroy some of them. ... But it's not clear whether I'll accept that surrender."

 Even if Ray surrenders, he will not accept it as a matter of course.
 To be exact, if Ray readily accepts his opponent's surrender, he could be in trouble the next time someone attacks him.
 If they know that surrendering will excuse them, they will attack Ray first, and if they can do that.
 If they can't kill them, that's how some people might think that they should surrender at once.
 That would be so troubling that Ray couldn't easily accept the surrender of the enemy.
 ...however, Ray would shake his head if he were asked if he could easily forgive the person he had targeted.

"Well, then... I'll go to the next organization first."

 Lazaria decides that if she continues to talk to Ray, it's strange... that's why she's going to hear things that she doesn't want to hear, and she changes the subject half forcefully.
 That said, the changed subject was also about the next place Ray was heading for.

"Oh, so be it. What kind of organization is it going to be?"
"When you use force, it's an organization in black. It's called a black phantom."
"Oh... they are,"

 Of the assassins who attacked him, he came into contact with the black costume the most frequently.
 There were those who came to investigate lakes and towers of birth, those who came to rescue them, and those who attacked them in the streets of Gilm.

"Do you know?"
"Oh, there's a lot going on. Isn't this the organization that has a grudge against me the most?"
"...then a different organization, though, as far as I know, there are several other organizations at the same distance apart from black visions."

 Lazaria thought it would be better to attack other organizations here, instead of going out of his way to destroy those organizations that had a strong grudge against Ray.
 An organization with a grudge would naturally have been more aggressive than the blue spearmen.
 If so, it would be better to attack another organization first.
 That's what Ray suggested, but he shook his head.

"No, I want to destroy the black phantom first. It would be a great shock to the enemy if the organization that hated me was easily destroyed."
"No, I think it's a big enough shock just to have multiple tissues crushed in a day."

 Lazaria's words are very correct.
 Generally speaking, it's almost unthinkable to destroy several organizations a day.
 Still doing it is in a way like Ray.

"Really? I know many people who can do this."

 In fact, Ray is confident that people like Elena, Marina and Vihela will be able to do what Ray thinks without a hitch.
 There are many other skilled adventurers in Gilm, so depending on his motivation, there should have been a reasonable number of people who could do that."That... it's not very much, but it's not usually possible."

 It was natural for Lazaria to make such a decision.
 Ray can say this because there are so many people nearby who should be called strong men, but the figure would be surprisingly low if he were actually told how many of the people in Gilm are capable of doing so today.

"Anyway, was it a black vision? Take me to the hideout as soon as possible."
"If you don't mind that, it's a little bit of a problem... well, it's Mr.

 For some reason, Lazaria also says what many of Ray's associates say.
 It's not that Ray has nothing to do with it, but he thinks it's better not to say unnecessary things in light of the current situation, so he talks about black visions.

"And how far is the black phantom hideout from here? If possible, I'd be happy if it was close."
"Well, I think it's pretty close. Then shall we go?"

 Saying so, Lazaria begins to walk.
 Ray and Sett also follow Lazaria.
 The road is as narrow as it is when you come to a blue spear hideout.
 Sett also uses his resizing skills to go down such a path.
 Along the way, some slum dwellers try to poke in on Lazaria, but when they find out that Seto is with them, they leave without doing anything.

"It's really easy to walk in the slums with Seto-chan."

 Lazaria muttered such a thing.
 It's rather dangerous to walk in the slums alone, given that Lazaria has relatively good features and deserves to be described as cute rather than beautiful.
 Anyone who knows Lazaria is a member of the Black Dog would not touch her.
 But to those who don't know it, Lazaria is only a good prey.
 He was such a lasaria, but it was only natural for him to be pleased, as he would not be attacked if he was with Seto.

"Well, that's an undeniable fact."

 Ray is also often entangled by his appearance alone.
 This happens frequently, especially if you're not with Seto outside of Gilm.
 But if Sett was with him, it would prove to be Ray, and even if he didn't know the nickname crimson, he wouldn't care what he did with his companion Gryphon.
 Having so much experience and having been involved in various places Ray has been, Ray was able to agree with Lazaria very much.
 However, the meaning of being entangled between Ray, who is a woman, and Lazaria, who is a cute woman, is very different.

"It would be of great help to me if you could say so." ... Oh, look. I saw a black phantom hideout."

 During the conversation, Lazaria's location was a one-story building.
 However, it is quite widely made for a slum.
 The building used by the Blue Spears was three stories high, but it would be as large as the first and second floors combined.

"That building was used by another organization until the black phantom came, but lost the struggle with the black phantom..."
"Did you steal it?"
"Yes, but I've heard that you've taken away the organization you used before from others."
"...as it is in the slums, do many people want a good place? It's getting pretty worn out, though."

 A building in a slum. It's also a building that has changed hands due to repeated conflicts between organizations.
 Naturally, the building may be left with scars that have been experienced in previous battles.
 Then Ray thinks it's all right to fix the broken area, but it's no use thinking about it.
 The black hallucinations that are currently using this building should be judged, and this is probably the case now.

"The lookout is... oh, there is,"
"What?"

 Lazaria hides semi-reflectively behind a nearby building when Ray looks at it.
 From the perspective of Lazaria, it doesn't seem like there are people around the building.
 That's why I was looking at the building with peace of mind... but it was impossible not to be surprised when people told me that there was actually a lookout.

"Don't worry, we haven't found you yet. I'll be right there, so hide like a blue spear."

 Tell him so, Ray and Sett were heading for the black phantom hideout.
