The hideout of the wind's fangs burned so hard that it wouldn't even leave charcoal.
 The dawn stars are simply surprised by the act done by Ray's magic.
 As the stars of dawn are also behind the scenes, it is not uncommon to burn buildings for various reasons.
 But... no, that's why Ray's magic burned me so completely that I couldn't even leave any charcoal, and I had a lot of thoughts in front of me.

"Well, for the time being, I'm sure this would have burned the guys in the cellar. ... I'm sorry, to be honest, that I didn't get any magic items or any treasure."
"Yes, you know..."

 Disappointed... No, the leader-like man who replies with regret.
 I was supposed to have avenged myself and watch this scene in a refreshing mood.
 However, the dawn stars who were exploring the building could not find the basement, the passageways and doors.
 According to the original expectation, it would have taken a long time for Ray to return.
 In the meantime, the person aiming... should have found and killed the enemy.
 But Ray came back too early to do such a thing.
 As a result, Ray burned his hideout as promised...and now I have a delicate feeling.
 It wasn't that I didn't feel frustrated, but the leader of the star of dawn felt deeply that I couldn't find Ray before he came back.
 And...

"If you escaped through an underground passageway, is there a high possibility that your enemy is alive?"
"What?!?"

 The leader's man, who was perfectly guessed by Ray's words, reflexively takes his breath away.
 Yes, Ray came, so there's almost no doubt that he hid underground.
 At the same time, however, there is a possibility that the underground passageway leads to somewhere else.
 If that's the case, maybe... it's really possible that the person who is the enemy is still alive.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything more with the fangs of the wind. I've made you pay for your hands."

 The organization itself was crushed by the effect of the failed assassination.
 What's more, the organization is a treasure trove called Gilmoo, a place that sheds a lot of blood in the battle against other behind-the-scenes organizations, but still managed to hold out and show off their existence with ability.
 After such a great deal of trouble, the surviving branch was somehow destroyed.
 As for the fangs of the wind, the branch itself was crushed when it sent a considerable amount of money and excellent personnel to the branch.
 To Ray, too.
 That would be a big loss for the headquarters of the wind's fangs.
 There's no problem with Ray paying for the person he's been aiming for.

"Really?"
"Oh, so if your enemies are running away, I don't mind if you defeat them. ... Well, as long as you're alive.
"...that's right."

 She was momentarily pleased by Ray's words, but then nodded bitterly at the words that came out of her mouth.
 Now that the branch has been destroyed, someone has to take responsibility for it.
 And Ray knew that in the underworld, that kind of thing is often applied strictly.
 In other words, if there is the greatest person responsible for the destruction of the wind's fangs, it is the person who organized the branch... the person pursued by the Dawn Stars.

(First of all, I wonder if he's alive or not.)

 I wish Ray could live while looking at the burnt-out and cleared land.
 The discomfort that caused Ray's behavior this time had already been resolved, and I did enough to get revenge on the other person I had been aiming for.
 If so, I think we can leave the matter of wind fangs to the star of dawn.

"Anyway, as for the fangs of the wind... do you know the way to the hideout of the black phantom?"
"What? Huh? Well... Yes, I know."

 What came out of Ray's mouth was probably totally unexpected.
 The leader of the Dawn Star says so, albeit a little bewildered.
 Ray is relieved by the words.
 For the time being, you don't have to go on board a seto and look for a black phantom hideout from the sky.

"I see. I'm sorry, but Lazaria, who brought me here, is gone. I'm sorry, but will you take me to the black visionary hideout?"
"That's fine, but what are you going to do?"

 When asked what to do, Ray is at a loss for an answer.
 However, he simply says that since he has already shown burning the hideout of the wind's fangs, there is nothing to hide.

"Burn".
"...oh, are you going to burn it?"

 When the man hears the word, he looks a little surprised but convinced.
 With Ray's ability, I don't think it's a big deal to burn the hideout of the organization behind him.
 The fact that the hideout of the wind's fangs was burned in front of him and the land was cleared must have given strong persuasive power to Ray's words.

"Oh, that's why I asked for guidance."
"All right. ... Lumina, can I order it?"
"Me? Well, I don't mind."

 The leader asked for a woman who was on guard when Ray came back here.
 When the woman nods to the leader's words, she bows her head at Ray.

"Well, I'll show you around, thank you."
"Oh, please,"

 Ray has no particular objection as long as he takes him to a black visionary hideout.
 He said he would ask the woman honestly, and that was the end of the story.

"Well, excuse me. If he really ran away, we'd better move as soon as possible."
"Oh,"

 After a brief conversation, the man gives directions to his companions.  
I told most people to stay here and check the location of the clearing just in case, and a small number to check where the target man is now if he has escaped from the hideout.
 If there is a hidden passageway entrance far from here, it is possible to miss it unless it moves quickly.
 ...but it's been a long time since the enemy disappeared, so I'm not sure if I can find it.

"Well, shall we go now? We should go early, right?"
"Well, it's been a long time since I came here. And I'd like to go back as soon as possible."

 The woman nods to Ray's words and guides Ray and Seto to a black phantom hideout.
 If you live in a slum, you can understand that women are not just ordinary.
 There was no one to bother me with.
 ...although perhaps no one would bother him because of Seto's company.
 Then keep walking...and eventually you arrive at your destination.
 There is no one in the black vision hideout anymore.
 At least as far as Ray could see, the slum dwellers did not seem to have entered, let alone the members of the black vision.
 However, Ray did not intend to stop burning the building, even if someone was in it.

"Well, I'm going to leave now.
"Oh, I'm saved. Good luck with your search for the enemy."

 The woman has a delicate expression on her face at Ray's words.Then, as a woman, I would have liked you to wait a little longer to burn the hideout in the wind's fangs.
 But I knew I couldn't do that, considering my promise to Ray.
 Therefore, if you bow your head without saying anything more in this case, you will run away from the situation.

"Well, then, all we have to do is clear that building and go back to the lake."
"Guru!"

 At Ray's words, Seto's throat rasp happily.
 From Seto's point of view, today's incident was by no means all interesting.
 In the first place, it's a slum area, so there's an indescribable sourness around it... there's a smell that you'd never want to smell.
 Even Ray, who has five senses, is like that, so if he has a set that has a sharper sense than Ray, he won't be able to accumulate.
 What's more, you'll have to use your resizing skills to go through a narrow road, and when Ray is attacking the hideout and waiting outside, no one will come.
 Considering those circumstances, today's incident was not interesting for Seto, and it was only natural that he wanted to leave the slums soon.

"I'm sorry that you wanted me to go out with you today. ... well, when we get out of the slums, shall we stop by the stalls on the way and buy something? It's almost evening, and the stalls are getting more active."
"LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL!"

 At Ray's words, Seto's throat rasp happily.
 Of course, before evening... around noon to evening, the stalls are open.
 However, from the time after lunch until the evening when some people are hungry after work, the number of guests is inevitably different.
 In a sense, it was only natural for food stalls to use their cooking skills when it was crowded.

"Then shall we clear up what we need to do before we eat?"

 Ray mutters, looking at the black phantom hideout, takes his death size out of Mystiling.
 Then Ray takes out his death size and feels that the number of eyes looking at him has increased.
 Of course, the main focus of the gaze is not in Ray's view, but in the back of the building, at the corner of the passageway, some even hide under the ground.
 The sense of incongruity limited his ability to sense signs until he knocked down the durb.
 It had become remarkably difficult to feel, especially in the form of murder.
 Anyway, thanks to the fact that I no longer feel uncomfortable, I understand that many people are looking at me as I am.

(Is it possible that I didn't notice at all, and that I've been staring at this since I came to the slums, or that they've been aiming at this building?)

 The building that the black vision turned into a hideout is a magic item.
 If that's the case, it's only natural that many people want to make the building their own when the black vision disappears.
 ...but the black phantom firmly declared that the building would be destroyed by Ray in a little while before he left.
 As a result, people in the slums who knew Ray's ability did not enter the building.
 Still, he hid near here in the hope that Ray might change his mind or, for some other reason, not destroy this building.
 Unfortunately, Ray destroys the building.
 As well as being a warrior, the information that Ray is a sorcerer...the so-called sorcerer spreads in his own way.
 Even so, it is naturally known that death size is a magical engine, and Ray's removal of the death size here determined that the building would certainly be burned.
 Feeling his gaze gradually dwindling, Ray recites a spell.

'Flame, Thou shalt exist only in the realm which we have designated, and not in any other realm. In return for his short life, feed on my magical powers in the realm, and sublimate your life in an instant.'

 Along with the spell, a red line is drawn to the ground, centered on a black phantom hideout.
 For Ray, as long as it is the magic he has used many times today, he casts spells as quickly as ever, creating fire spirit, and invoking magic.

"Firepower Dance"

 Along with the magic, the lizard-shaped fire spirit explodes into a huge flame and burns the black phantom hideout.
 Maybe it's because I saw the scene burning directly.
 The gaze that was still left is rapidly decreasing.

(Well, you may think that the building burned down in many ways, but if the land is cleared, you can build a new building here.)

 However, even though we are building new buildings, the construction materials used in that case are obtained by dismantling buildings in slums that are no longer usable, so even though they are new, there is no feeling of new construction.
 While thinking about it, the building continues to burn... and eventually collapses and collapses in earnest.
 While watching the building, Ray was relieved that it had collapsed while stroking Seto.
 As long as it was a magic item, it would not have been strange to have a strong magical defense.
 ...although it is quite possible that Ray's magic would have burned out easily.

"Well, let's get out of the slums now."

 At Ray's words, Seto purred happily.
