"...are you aware that you can't escape any more?"

　Ray holds a death-size and twilight spear and tells a room that looks empty, ready to attack at any time.
　The fact that the door is not open means that the person who threw the dagger at Ray is still in this room.
　Why didn't you run away from this room?
　That was a little questionable in Ray, but given the fact that he had been used in the previous room, it was also well thought out that he was too scared to escape any longer.
　Ray looked into the room carefully to find the other person's appearance, but he couldn't find the other person's appearance, whether it should be said or not.
　I couldn't find him even with Ray's five senses when he used to throw a dagger.
　If that's the case, I can't find anyone in this room.
　As a result, Ray closes the door he enters and begins casting spells with Death Size in his hand instead of wielding Death Size and Twilight Spear again.

"Flame, spread with a red flame. Make a carpet of flame as I please."

　In the death-size ferrule, the flames gather... and the spell is complete.

"Light flame!"

　At the same time as the magic is invoked, flames spread all around from the ground hit by the death-size ferrule.
　However, even if it looks like a normal flame, its temperature is only about 20 degrees.
　Therefore, there was no need to worry about getting burned if someone accidentally touched the flame.

(It's too late, but I should have used this in the first room... but it's likely that it ended in vain because I didn't know if there was an enemy in the room... well, I should have left it to the star of dawn then.)

　While I was thinking like that, the flames covered the room...

"What?"

　A voice of surprise comes from Ray's mouth.
　That's because even if the fire covered the whole room, nothing unusual could be detected.
　In that case, there is not much possibility of being considered.
　First, if the other party is floating in the air by any means.
　Thin flames could examine the ground, walls, and ceiling, but they could not contact anyone floating in the air.
　However, flying in the sky is not an easy story.
　That's why Ray can imitate kicking in the air with Slapnil shoes, but Slapnil shoes themselves are a very rare magic item.
　That's why it's not something you can get so easily.
　Or it's possible that Ray is floating in the air with some kind of magic item that he doesn't even know, but more likely than that...

"Weren't you in this room from the beginning?"

　Well, if you weren't in this room from the beginning, you wouldn't have been able to see a thin flame react in the first place.
　But Ray certainly saw the door open...

"What?!?"

　Turn off the thin flame and return to the room you used to be in front of with a death-size and twilight spear in your hand.
　Come to think of it, it's a simple... it's a trick that could be called child deceit.
　The enemy, who had fled to the previous room, stayed in the previous room without moving, although the door was opened.
　But as long as it's transparent, Ray doesn't notice it.
　No, or if you didn't feel uncomfortable after entering the gill, you might have noticed.
　However, the discomfort makes it difficult to detect the kind of murderous mood, as does the kind of atmosphere.
　If that was the case, it would have been impossible to detect the person who had left Ray hidden in the room.

"...you've done it."

　It's no fun to be caught in the hands of a child trick.
　It wasn't funny, but I still had to admit that I made a mistake.
　I looked around the room, but as I pretended to let Ray go, while Ray was in the next room, he would have already escaped from the room.

"Well, then... what shall we do you think?

　It's not clear whether anyone who belongs to a clown still remains in this hideout.
　In fact, Ray found it in this hideout... No, he was the only one he had encountered.
　I didn't even wonder if I should use a thin flame to explore the whole building, but to do so, there are many enemies who have escaped.
　Ray was confident enough to respond immediately to an attack if he was in the position he was pursuing, but he let the opponent go.
　If that happens, the initiative will naturally go to the other party.
　What happens if Ray tries to use magic and they find out?
　Normally, Ray's magic is extremely troublesome and he will try to prevent it from being invoked.

(Oh, but on the other hand, if you show them that you use magic on purpose, they'll definitely come to interrupt you, right? I don't think there's any point in getting out of this building and using magic anymore.)

　Ray, who comes up with a bad prediction, decides that it's more likely to be found than chasing an invisible person, and concentrates on Death Size.

"Flame, spread with a red flame. Make a carpet of flame as I please."

　The death-size ferrule brings together flames... the spell is complete, but there is no sign of an enemy coming out.
　While preparing for anything to happen at any time, I tried to push the ferrule to the floor...

"I want to come!"

　Seeing a dagger suddenly appearing, Ray throws a twilight spear, playing a dagger thrown at death size.
　The move was done almost out of reflex, not out of the blue.

"Oh my!"

　The voice of a man who seems to have been penetrated by a thrown twilight spear echoes around.

"Did you do it?"

　While screaming, Ray wields death size so as not to miss anyone who can be transparent.
　Since you don't know where your opponent is, a death-size attack doesn't necessarily mean you'll hit the target.
　But this time it's different.
　The other person is pierced by a twilight spear... or hand and foot, and the twilight spear is visible.
　So it's not difficult to take a blow at the enemy.
　Originally, it is desirable to use it to get information about clowns and, above all, to get information about discomfort after coming to Gilmoo.
　Ray knew that, but he immediately decided that the person who acted in a tricky manner worthy of the name of a clown should be knocked down here.
　The moment I shook my death size, a man's body suddenly appeared in front of Ray, who had his body severed in two.
　The corpse of a man, not a clatter, crumbling to the floor.
　It's not pain, it's startling.
　The twilight spear pierced my right shoulder... No, it was penetrating, but I guess I was more surprised by the fact that he attacked me, who was supposed to be in pain.

"Well, I don't know what?

　Ray looks at the dead man and mutters a little regretfully.
　I thought it was no use killing him, but I still wanted to catch him alive.
　Look at the corpse in front of you and then inside the room.
　That's because I thought that there might be someone who is still transparent.
　This man has been trying to sabotage Ray the moment he tried to use magic.
　However, as long as the other person is transparent, it is not known whether this man is really the same person as the other person Ray had been following.
　It leaves the possibility that a similar being is still somewhere in this building and can get a lot of information.
　...although I understand that the possibility is surprisingly low.

"Anyway, are you happy that you were able to defeat the person you were aiming for? The problem is..."

　with a crackling
　The sound of applause echoes around as if to interrupt Ray's speech.
　Ray frowns at the sound of applause.
　This is because I decided that the feeling of discomfort had become stronger since entering this building.
　Because I didn't notice anyone in the same room.

(I still know if he had something to disappear from, like that corpse.)

　What I wanted Ray to be different was that he was using some means to make the discomfort more intense.

"Who is it? ... You don't have to ask, do you?"

　Say so to the person who was clapping.
　The clapping person is clearly a woman from his graceful curved body.However, I don't know how old I am because I'm wearing makeup like a clown, not like a woman.

"Yes, that's right."
"A clown? That's exactly what it looks like."
"Oh, thank you for your compliment. So what are you going to do now?"
"Of course you are going to destroy the clown?"
"That's a problem,"

　As she speaks, she pulls out several stones the same size as her fist.
　When Ray saw it, he wondered if he was going to use it as a weapon to throw it at him.The woman starts juggling, not throwing the stone.

"...hey?"

　The woman's behavior was unexpected to Ray, too.
　No, considering the name of the organization called clowns, it's not think it's that strange.
　Even so, it's only natural to ask such a question in the face of Ray, who came to destroy the organization.

"What do you think? You can increase the number? And you can do this."

　He tried crossing his hands, changing the height of only certain stones among the juggling stones, hitting stones in the air, and continuing to juggle with his hands around his back.
　Even as a street performer, I'm sure he's one of the best.
　Or, if you use magic or magic items, you may be able to do similar things, but Ray doesn't seem to be using such magic items.
　There is a possibility that he is using magic or some skill, but I couldn't make it clear either.

"That's amazing. ... But what's wrong with that? You really don't think I'm going to be impressed with your street performance and stop destroying the organization, do you?"

　stop fighting with street performances
　If you only listen to the story, it might be amazing.
　However, Ray had no intention of going out with such a play.
　I guess women understand that, too.
　He continues to juggle, which seems to be difficult to see, and opens his mouth.

"Really? That's too bad."

　She said so, but there was no doubt that she was not as disappointed as those words.
　However, when he came out in front of him, it was clear that he wasn't really trying to stop Ray from attacking.
　The organization behind the scenes... it belongs to an organization that allows them to recognize their existence by force without any support in Gilmoo.

"So? What should I do? Since I failed to persuade you? I guess there are many others in this building."

　Ray didn't say so because he was sure of something.
　But the owner of the dagger who fought Ray and the woman in front of him.
　On both sides, Ray was unable to sense its existence.
　If that's the case, it's not strange that there were other people still hiding in the building.

"Oh, you're impatient. Wouldn't it be okay to look at my performance a little more before giving an answer?"
"I want to do that, but I need to destroy various organizations after this. I can't afford to be a clown alone."

　Rei says so and holds a spear of death size and twilight.
　However, even in the presence of Ray, the woman continued juggling without looking nervous.
　Normally, it's impossible not to be nervous in front of Ray, who is armed with a death-size and twilight spear, which are synonymous with Ray in a different sense than Seto.
　No, of course, there are people in the world who are as good as Ray, so not everyone is nervous.

"It can't be helped. If you're not going to give up on us... I'm really going to kill you, but I don't mind, right? I'm looking forward to seeing if you can deal with all of us in Ray's situation right now!

　With those words, the woman threw the stone she was juggling at Ray.
