For now, leaving the fainted man there, the Rays go down the road.
 A man who fainted is nothing but prey to a slum dweller.
 We knew that, but that didn't mean to help the person who attacked us.
 If you're lucky, you'll survive and you won't be robbed of your belongings.
 If you're unlucky, you might be killed, but you just think it was fate and get accepted.
 ...but if you are killed unconscious, you may be lucky enough not to feel fear or pain.

"So that's the clown's hideout. --a clown for his name."
"I don't think it's necessary to be a special hideout just because it's called a clown. ... well, I understand how you feel."

 Lazaria responds to Ray's impressions, but somehow understands and agrees with him.
 In fact, the building wasn't that big as it used to be, it was just a normal building.
 Ray wondered for a moment if there was another cellar here, but Ray didn't know if it was right.
 That's the very thing you need to do until you actually search inside the hideout.

"First of all, there's no doubt that you're all good at it, so keep your lazaria as tight as you were when the wind was strong."

 At Ray's words, Lazaria nods as if it were only natural.
 Lazaria could use the art of self-defense to live in the slums, but not enough to intervene in real battles like Ray.
 After saying good luck, Lazaria hides.

"Well, then, Seto. ...let's go."
"Guru!"

 At Ray's words, Seto's throat is short.
 The building is a little larger than... but the term "normal" is still appropriate.
 However, at the time of the existence of such a house in this slum, I have some doubts.
 However, there is no doubt that the building is much easier to understand than a three-story building with a blue spear.
 The question for Ray was whether there was no one in the building to act as a lookout, escort, or gatekeeper.

"I thought there would definitely be some reaction if I approached the building. ...what do you think?"
"Guru-ru-ru-ru-ru-ru-ru-ru-ru-ru-ru."

 I tilt my head at Ray's words as if I don't understand Seto.
 If things go on like this, Ray will enter the hideout without any resistance.
 The clown should have known that the hideout of a hand-in-hand organization of blue spears, black visions, and wind fangs was attacked.
 Nevertheless, it is strange that we are not prepared for defense at all.
 Are you hiding somewhere by any chance? Or, I thought it was like a star in the morning and searched for it, but it doesn't seem like there's anyone around the building in particularly.
 Then the only way to find out what was going on was to go inside the building.

(It may be possible to burn buildings from outside, but in that case, all magic items and treasures will not be available.)

 In particular, this time they attack a group called clowns.
 If they live up to their name, it is no wonder that they have more magic items than previous organizations.
 ...but for some reason, the only magic items available at the moment were the 10 parts from the black phantom hideout.
 However, the portion is not so easy to obtain because it is worth a few gold coins each.
 If you think about using it in case of emergency, it's enough.
 As for the fangs of the wind... Unfortunately, I still don't know what kind of magic items there are, but if the organization is centered on assassination, it would not have been strange to have some kind of magic items. ...I can't say anything until I stop by the hideout later.
 Anyway, that's why Ray wants some kind of magic items and treasures from the building in front of him.

"...it can't be helped. There's no point in staying here, and let's go for now."

 Muttering, Ray walks into the building.
 Behind the scenes, I hear Seto screaming, but Ray nods in his heart that he knows it.

"If the black apparition is not the identity of the discomfort... is it possible that the clown is suspicious?"

 Ray mutters his way through the building.
 Unfortunately, there is no one in the building.
 If there are disposable pieces, like the fangs of the wind, Ray can understand.
 However, it was obviously funny that there were no enemies in the hideout despite the buildings.

(No, isn't it strange? If you're ambushing somewhere, like a blue spear)

 Ray goes through the building thinking so.
 The inside of the building was very simple.
 There are chairs, tables, and, if crude, sofas.
 But that's all.
 Ray didn't know how many people belonged to the clown organization, but it's obviously strange that he doesn't have such a sense of life.

(Is this really a hideout? It doesn't look like someone is living there.)

 With such questions in mind, Ray goes through the building.
 However, there is still no human figure anywhere.
 So I checked some rooms, but there was no clown anywhere.
 There is no one in sight to the point where I wonder if they escaped knowing that they were being targeted.
 But even if you run away, if you know Ray is attacking the organization and then run away, there's no trace.
 It wasn't that bad, but it shouldn't have been done in a short time.

"Anyway, if you ran away, of course you took magic items with you."

 As I thought about it, the moment I went to see what was going on in the next room... suddenly I saw a dagger in front of me.

"What?!?"

 He successfully avoids the dagger by turning his face away reflexively, but he cannot avoid the dagger's blow completely, and enters the hood of the dragon robe, wounding his cheek, and halting his movement.
 I was able to avoid the attack not because of my ability, but because of my evasive behavior, which is close to my intuition.
 Dragon robes can't be defeated without being stabbed with daggers.
 However, its strong defense is naturally only available in areas covered by dragon robes.
 In other words, a place that is not covered by a robe cannot, of course, prevent an attack with a dragon robe.
 In other words, aiming at the face like now is a very effective blow if you assassinate Ray.
 ...if only I could give Ray that blow.
 Normally, that's the most difficult.
 But... that was definitely a close call for Ray, too.
 Jump back quickly and observe the surroundings.
 While taking out the dagger from the hood and preparing to be attacked at any time, they investigate the dagger.

(It's an ordinary dagger. It is not poisoned, nor is it a magic item dagger like a running water dagger. But... then...)

 While checking the dagger, Ray looks around again.
 Ray's dagger in his hand was not thrown by anyone, but suddenly appeared in front of him.
 It's as if it's metastatic.
 If it had been a dagger thrown by someone normally, Ray could have avoided or played.
 However, it is difficult to avoid it when it suddenly appears in front of you like now.
 ...but...

"I don't know who it is, but it was fatal that I couldn't kill him with this single shot. Regardless of the first blow, if we know there is an attack like this, we can deal with it."

 Say so, look around... swings the dagger you have in your hand.
 A high-pitched metallic sound echoes around, and the dagger that flew from nowhere again is played by Ray's dagger.

"Like this!"

 Screaming, Ray throws his dagger in his hand.The direction in which the dagger was thrown is where it suddenly appeared.
 As long as that dagger did not throw it, there is no guarantee that the enemy will be at the end of the dagger's appearance.
 It's not necessarily... but it's still not necessarily there.
 whether there is or not
 It's a problem that you don't understand it.
 If you weren't there, you wouldn't be there. If you were there, you had to be clear.

"...there isn't, is there?"

 Ray's dagger sticks into the wall of the room, but there is no trace of blood there.
 Gazing at it regretfully, Ray pulls a death-size and twilight spear from Mystiling.
 Fortunately, the room is quite large, and there is space to wield a death-size or twilight spear.

"Isn't it coming out? You can't attack me right now. Then whatever you do will have no effect. ... Is that all right?"

 It was Ray, who told him to provoke, but the enemy didn't seem to respond.

(Was it metastatic, or could it not be detected until it approached me in some way? If possible, I'd like to know about it immediately. Then for now...)

 It was necessary to make it clear first that there was a possibility that Ray was hiding in this room without noticing it.
 In that context, Ray took... a very simple step.
 However, because it is simple, it is also a difficult action to deal with.

"Come out before you die."

 Muttering, Ray wields a spear of death size and twilight.
 As long as you don't know where the enemy is, you move around the room, being careful that the enemy may hit the weapon at any time.
 To those who knew nothing, Ray would have looked like he was giving a performance.
 But Ray didn't mean it that way of course... only to assume that someone was hiding by some means, and to find out that, he made these moves.
 Even if there is an enemy in this room, it is difficult to avoid the two long objects that are moving around in such a way.
 Or, even if you think you can't hit it if you stay still, you can't stay still with the deadly destructive weapon that passes right in front of you and close to you.

(Now, in fact, if there was no one in this room, I would be a clown... a clown.)

 While thinking like that, Ray searches the room for any discomfort.
 As long as Ray works on the assumption that there is an enemy, he should be aware of anything suspicious.

(If you don't let me see myself like this... it's highly possible that I was a clown because I felt uncomfortable after I came to Gilmoo. Was it worth coming to the clown's hideout?)

 This sense of incongruity is the phenomenon that needs to be done first.
 I think Ray was lucky in a way because he knew that.
 ...I can't say I'm lucky, if not at all, at this point.

"Don't think it's so easy to avoid. If you're in this room, you'll definitely..."

 meet one's doom
 The sound of the door opening echoes around as if to interrupt Ray's words.
 It's not the door Ray entered, it's the other door in the room.
 As soon as Ray hears the sound, he stops the performance and starts running toward the door where the sound came from.
 If Ray's twilight spear or death-size wind pressure didn't open the door, it's clear who did it.
 In other words, someone in Ray's room ran away.

(I thought there was a high possibility of an enemy, but I'm glad I was there. If I wasn't there, I would have performed alone in an empty room.)

 Ray went through an empty door into the next room and saw that door and another continuing door reopen.
 Naturally, I followed the door to the next room, where another door reopened.

"Do you think you can run away? Killer!"

 a deadly attack
 However, the attack left a deep scar on the wall but failed to hurt the fleeing opponent.
 However, they decided they were fleeing because they were afraid of being attacked, so they went to the next room... there was another door in that room besides Ray's entry, but it remained closed.
