The fangs of the wind are now all dead, injured, or fainted and lying on the floor.
 It was the result of both Ray's attack and those who had a grudge against the wind's fangs of the star of dawn.
 Ray and the star of dawn were all skilled, so they couldn't resist with the fangs of the wind at all of themselves.
 Ray was a matter of course, but the star of dawn was also highly skilled, and no one was seriously injured despite the fact that it was such a fight against so many people.
 There were some people who suffered minor injuries that did not affect the battle.

"Dawn star? You seem to be very good."
"No, thanks to Ray for defeating the man who was the first to give instructions. Even if they tried to cooperate, there was nothing they could do without someone to give them that instruction."
"I won't deny it. ...if they become above a certain level, they will cooperate at their own discretion, but they don't seem to have that much skill."
"...that's right. To be honest, this was a little surprising. When our organization was attacked, there must have been some skilled people."

 He was a man who raised such questions, but Ray raised further questions to such a person.

"By the way, the man I knocked down was the one you mentioned..."
"No, it's not."

 I asked Ray, thinking it was probably not, but the man shook his head saying it wasn't as expected.

"Well, if what I heard from you was true, I wouldn't have died at this rate."
"...no, as far as the battle goes, I don't think so at all."
"Is that so? Well, let alone. ...it's been a long time since we defeated these guys, but no enemies are coming out at all. What do you think is going on?"
I don't know. If they were the fangs of the kind I know, they might be the first to attack us because they were attacked."

 As he says so, the man looks at Ray.
 If it's just us, we could be attacked right away.
 Even so, the reason why there is no one to attack at all is probably because of Ray's presence.
 In fact, the dawn stars were quite surprised to see Ray's ability up close.
 I knew he had a nickname of crimson, but there is a big difference between hearing about it and actually seeing it for yourself. ... No, I can say it's too different.
 That's how far Ray's ability was from the stars of dawn.
 Being sent here, the dawn stars led by the man are definitely skilled.
 However, even such men can't believe they can fight Ray head-on and win.
 Ray had such a vicious ability.

"Anyway, if you can't find an enemy, we need to look for it. ...what about you?"
"What? Oh, well... yes. Of course we will look for it too. I don't think these guys are the only ones who have the strength."
"Ah... well, I guess so."

 Ray agrees to the man's words.
 When I actually fought like this, I didn't think they were that strong.
 In terms of pure combat power, black visions are still stronger.
 There is an incomparable difference in ability with the blue spear.
 If the organization of the stars of dawn was severely damaged, it could not be this much.

(Is there a possibility that a really talented person is only sent as an elite person to assassinate me, but other than that, it's a very low-caliber organization... a small number of elite people?)

 Ray suddenly had such a question, but now, rather than thinking about it, he decides that destroying the fangs of the wind comes first and searches the building...

"What?"

 There is no one else in the building.
 Yes, there really is no one.
 Although the building is relatively large, there is still no place for everyone in the organization to hide.
 I hurriedly searched for other rooms, but I couldn't find anyone there.
 While searching the building, I sometimes saw the stars of dawn, but they were looking around the building with an expression of disbelief, just like Ray.
 It's been about twenty minutes...that's it, after searching everything in the building, Ray meets the leader of the Dawn Star.
 The man's face was full of impatience.
 Of course, if they thought they could finally retaliate against the person who attacked their organization, they were clearly inferior in skill and no one else was there.
 If you think about it normally, it doesn't make sense.
 However, that impossible situation is what is happening normally now.

"What do you think?"
"Even if you say so, I honestly don't understand. Why is this happening?"

 Ray also wants to agree with the way the man shakes his head.
 At this rate, I suddenly realized that Ray was aiming for a magic item.

(Magic items? No, other than that... where are the treasures?)

 As long as this is the hideout of the wind's fangs, it would have been strange if there were not necessarily any treasures to fund some kind of activity.
 Even though it was a back organization... No, it was a back organization, so activity funds should have been appropriately necessary.
 However, after searching through this building, Ray hasn't found anything of his kind.

"Was there any gold and silver treasure, or gold, silver, gold, jewelry, etc. that the Dawn star was looking for?"
"...what? Come to think of it, I haven't found that kind of place. ...that is strange."
"Oh, it's definitely strange."

 a man who asserts that something is wrong, not that it may be.
 In fact, it's obvious at a glance that Ray is strange.
 The reason why the stars of the dawn didn't notice this, regardless of Ray's knowledge, was probably because they thought of taking revenge.

"What do you think will happen?"
"One thing I could think of right away is that I kept the funds for my activities somewhere else, not in the hideout..."

 As he said so, Ray never thought it was the right answer.
 In the first place, when it comes to hiding the kind of funds outside of the hideout, there is no need to think about what would happen if it were discovered by other members of the organization or the inhabitants of the slums.
 It's a different story if you have a bank, but unfortunately, there is no such thing.
 ...although it is not clear whether the back organization can be used.
 Therefore, basically, we need to take care of the treasure by ourselves.
 And as long as it needs to be managed, it is impossible to leave it somewhere other than the hideout.

"In other words, there is a hidden room in this building? ... It's underground."
"I guess so."

 Ray nods in agreement to the man's words.
 This building is one story high.
 And for Ray and the star of dawn who examined the building, I know that there is no hidden room in the building.
 Then, the only place you can think of where the remaining hidden rooms might be.
 Kick lightly on the floor, but naturally there is no hidden room there.
 Somehow this hideout has a certain amount of space.
 Ray doesn't know how to find a hidden room in such a place."What do you want to do?"
"We don't have the option to just miss it. But there is no doubt that it will take time to find it...
"Do you want to burn it?"

 with a rustling sound
 The words that came out of Ray's mouth must have been so unexpected.
 The stars in the morning cast surprised expressions on Ray.

"Burn this building?"
"Oh, there must be a hidden basement room somewhere in this building. Then, if you burn everything down here, you'll know where the hidden room is, right? ... However, because of the burning of the building, there's considerable heat in the basement. In some cases, it could kill me."

 A cooking method is to dig in the ground, put meat wrapped in large leaves, and make a bonfire on it.
 If you see such a recipe, you don't need to think about how much heat goes underground when you burn the buried top.
 Even a normal bonfire can transmit enough heat to cook, so if it's a magical flame used by Ray, you don't have to think about how much heat it will be.
 Ray can also be used with magic that does not spread and only burns a certain range.
 If so, you don't have to worry about the spread of fire to other buildings in the slums.
 It was a pretty confident choice for Ray, but...

"Stop it!"

 The man on the star of dawn screams like that at a rate that can be said to be reflexive.
 That was unexpected to Ray.

"Why?"
"...that is..."

 a man who seems to be at a loss for words from Ray.
 Looking at the situation, there was no doubt that there was a reason.

(The possibility is that the person who attacked the star of dawn took away something precious, or took someone away.)

 That's how I expected Ray, but in the current situation, I don't think he'll explain the situation any more.
 Therefore, I think about it for a while... I will open my mouth soon.

"Okay, then I'll stop burning the building."

 Ray's words relieved not only the man but all the stars in the morning.
 However, of course, Ray didn't take the request of the star of dawn for no reason.

"I came here to destroy the fangs of the wind because they were hostile to me."

 In fact, there was a purpose to find out the true nature of the discomfort and to obtain some kind of magic item or treasure, but I'll keep quiet about that.

"As long as I stop acting like that, I can leave it up to you to clean up after this."
"What?"

 Not only from the man talking to Ray, but also from the mouths of the others who belong to the star of dawn.
 Perhaps it was unexpected that Ray would leave it to us to destroy the wind's fangs.
 To Ray, the wind's fangs are only one organization that aims for his own life.
 I want to go to the next place if possible, as long as I can't use the means of burning it up by magic.
 If that is the case, it was natural to want to leave this organization to the stars of dawn.

"However, if I use magic, I can win by myself, but as long as I go out of my way to entrust it to you, I will receive a reasonable price."
"...the price? What the hell is that?"

 a man who looks Ray back in the eye with some caution.
 Ray, nicknamed crimson, has come to be called a bandit eater in recent years.
 Men wouldn't be surprised if they told me to send them in return for my companions. ...but at the same time, it was also true that there was a feeling that we could never accept it.
 He looked at me with such determination, but Ray didn't seem to care about that, and he opened his mouth.

"""I will receive the treasure hidden in this building, including magic items." If that's OK with you, I'll leave it to you. ...what do you think?"
"...what? Is that all right?"

 It must have been a completely unexpected request for the man.
 ask as if one had been completely shrugged off
 That's why I was determined to negotiate to get some of my friends to give up and fight Ray even if I didn't have a chance of winning, but that's what made me feel ashamed.

"Oh, that's fine. I don't know if you know, but I like collecting magic items. "It's not just a magic item, it's a magic item that can be used in real life."""

 That's what men have heard.
 It is quite a famous story that Ray collects magic items.
 ...because Ray himself is not trying to hide it at all, it's only natural that the information spreads.
 If the information is nicknamed Ray, many people will try to gather it.
 The Dawn Stars also gathered as much information as possible about the people who needed attention in Gilmoo because they were going to Gilmoo, and there was also information that Ray was collecting magic items among themselves.

"Is that really all right?"
"Oh, but even if you spend too much time. ...I want to destroy the organization a little more if possible, but anyway, I will destroy the organization as much as possible. After destroying the organization, stop by here on the way home and burn the building if it hasn't been cleaned up yet. Is that all right?"

 The man nodded with a serious look on his face to Ray's statement.
