"Now, if you open this door, it will be the beginning of the climax of the ridiculous uproar.Are you ready?"

　A dance hall on the second floor of the Bornter estate.muttered Ray in front of the big door.

"It's all right.I should like to finish the trouble as soon as possible and have a drink."
"Of course, I'm always ready to go out with you in such a ridiculous disturbance."
"...I'm sorry.I got into trouble with my family."

　Gara pigeon bows down to Fluorocarbons, who complain with a sharp mouth and a sigh.

"Well, it's not your fault, is it?Originally, the Azot Chamber of Commerce... well, because Bornter made unreasonable demands on Ray."

　Fluorocarbons continue to speak in a flustered manner to such gala pigeons.

"Leave Mr. Gala pigeon's bodyguard to me.But I don't want you to expect me to be a military man."

　muttered Mult, holding his Hubbard.

"Grull".

　Because it was a staircase for a human being, a set flying directly to the second floor with its wings without going up the stairs sings in the back of the throat as if it were always okay.
　With a wry smile at the rest of their unnerved companions, he opened the door of the dance hall... the next moment he realized something had flown at him, and he threw his death-size reflexively.
　It is a dagger that is played with a metallic clink.

"Oh, really?He cut through the wall of the door and played my dagger."

　and a voice of astonishment.
　Ray's death-size blow, exactly as he said in this moment, cut through the wall around the dance hall door and repelled the dagger that had flown at him.What was remarkable was that he had cut through the wall, but he did not miss it.This means that cutting down the wall is only a little effort for Ray not to think of as an obstacle.
　For those waiting in the dance hall, Ray's power may have been unexpected, but it was not very surprising to Brasso and Fluorocarbons, who had already understood how substandard Ray was, and to Galahat and Murt, who had seen him face to face with Bornter.So they all went into the dance hall without saying anything in particular...

"Hi, hi!"

　Among them, one of the people waiting for Ray, a middle-aged woman in her 40s, dressed in a robe and carrying a cane in her hand that is supposed to be a magical engine, suddenly screams and loses her mind.

「……」

　What are you doing?She was a female wizard who was looked at not only by her companions but also by Ray, whose presence before her was an absolute predator, and whose eyes were clouded with fear as if she were a predators.

(...oh)

　Ray secretly judges that she has sensed her magical powers after seeing the woman wizard.

"The wizard doesn't have to worry about it, so the rest is..."

　Ray immediately loses interest in the middle-aged female wizard and turns to the adventurers waiting in the dance hall.
　There was a thief-like man who had just thrown a dagger, one swordsman in monster leather armor to move lightly, two spearmen in metal armor, one heavy knight in full plate armor and Harbard, and one archer with a bow.A total of six people were on standby.

"Blaso, Fluorocarbons, and Galah doves.Do you know any of them, or should I look out for?"

　Ray, who has a death size and keeps his opponent in check, asks the blassos behind him.
　In the city of Guilm, Fluorocaron is an experienced Brasso, and in the high rank of Rank B, the Azotian adventurer asks his ex-colleague, Galahat.
　Fluorocarbons were the first to speak."The swordsman and the spearman are familiar.It should have been the party of the Wolves of Snowfield, which was recently upgraded to the party of Rank C.Even though it's recently been upgraded, be careful because you're pretty good at it'

　Gala pigeons open their mouths as if they were following the words of Fluorocarbons.

"The thief who threw the dagger at Ray is the man who is in charge of the robbers of the Azot trade.His name was Tenda, if I remember right?"
"That archer aimed at me when I went into the back street looking for Ray.Perhaps, but I think that's the one who wasn't attacked by Ray in front of the house."

　Murt said so, and everyone's voice calmed down.

"What about that full-plate guy? He looks like he's the best one."

　Beyond Ray's gaze is a heavy knight with a halberd.The others behaved in their own way, but Ray felt that the man was the only one with a few steps above the rest of the adventurers.

"...no, I don't know 儂. Or if there were any adventurers in full plates, they would soon be talked about."

　for the adventurer is self-sufficient in moving to the place of request.In the meantime, adventurers wearing full-plate mail weighing tens of kilograms will definitely make headlines.But Blaso and Fluorocarbons did not remember hearing of such a peculiar adventurer.

(Well, there are some extraordinary adventurers who use a giant scythe rather than their height.I don't think it's strange to have adventurers in full-plate mail.)

　That's how Brasso looks at Gala pigeons, thinking inside.

"Do you remember that? Since you are a colleague, isn't it easy for those who stand out like that to become rumors?"

　But Gara pigeon shakes his head slightly.

"I don't remember seeing him.If you were such a conspicuous fellow, you would never forget it at first sight... then you were hired in a hurry in the last few days when I had lost sight of him, Mult?"
"No, I don't know,"
"Why, now, now, why don't you talk to me while you're here? I've been waiting here all day for you, the rumored Gryphon, at least give me a little entertainment."

　As soon as Tenda, who is in charge of the bandits of the Azot trade, says so, he kicks the ground with a dagger in his hands and quickly closes the gap.

"Well, first of all, I'll get rid of that thief.You guys hold on till I clean him up! Set, you bowman! Murto is the bodyguard of Galah doves.Stand by there!"

　Armed to meet the bandits coming toward him, he calls out to Setho with Brasso, Fronton and Murto, and Ray does not wait for Tenda, but instead goes forward.

"Hah! I can't believe you're using such a great thing, but you're just as funny as you say!"

　Fierce... but Tenda, holding her dagger with a very happy smile, quickly feinting her left and right, and delivering her dagger to Ray.

(I see, this is the one who likes the battle Gara pigeon told him about in his hiding place.)He muttered to himself, and the battle began when he was stuck with Tenda.
　and the dagger was always delivered to the unexpected place, from the right to the left, from the left to the bottom, and from the bottom to the top.A normal person would certainly have been at the mercy of the feint.This time, however, the other party was bad.

"Huh!"

　for Ray wielded a huge scythe two-meter-long scythe as if it were waving a dead tree branch.Even if you add a few feints, you can easily get ahead of Ray with the effect of a death-size magic item that doesn't feel his own strength and weight.

"Well, it's a spooky creature, as the rumor has it been rumored,"

　He smiled at the hunter's delight that the first ten seconds were a responsive prey, and the next ten seconds he recognized as a tough opponent unexpectedly and changed his mood of play to launch a serious attack, and in the next ten seconds he was surprised to see that his dagger could be prevented, avoided, or shouted without hitting at all.
　Ray, too, didn't have much opportunity to fight with a dagger, so he spent a little time reading the movements and concentrating on avoiding Tenda's attack, but eventually he breathed out sharply and swung his death size.

"Huh!"
"What!? Cock!"

　Tenda, who has received several attacks in death size and understands the resilience of the weapon and Ray's own spooky power, immediately crouches down on the spot.

(Surely your blow has extraordinary power.But if you don't get it right, any blow is of no use! If you swing your bluff, you will take the opportunity to apply this paralytic poison to your feet with a dagger...)

　Yes. Tenda was going to attack Ray's foot through a gap after his blow passed over her head.covered with robes of some sort of magical effect, and yet with his skill he would be able to cut off the robes and scratch his feet.
　That's certainly a good strategy....but with the proviso that the other party must be Ray.
　At this point, Tenda made two mistakes.First of all, Ray's robe is certainly a magic item, but he didn't know how much it was.Dragon robes, which are made of double skin of dragons that have lived for hundreds of years and have dragon scales between them, have overwhelming defenses compared to the surrounding full-plate mail.If Tenda tried to stab the dagger into Ray's leg as he intended, the end would never have penetrated the Dragon Robe.
　And the biggest mistake was that he underestimated Ray's own.Tenda herself is a Rank C adventurer.But I'm proud that I've reached the rank B level enough, and I'm good enough to compete even with the rank B adventurer Galahat.Even with that much ability, it remains in Rank C because it is said that there are other Rank B adventurers in the Azot Trading Company.In particular, Tenda herself is in a position to lead the bandits of the Azot Trading Company and is often entrusted with various dirty behind-the-scenes tasks.For this reason, he was asked not to attract noticeable attention, so he remained in Rank C in exchange for a huge monthly reward.
　That confidence dampened Tenda's judgment.Desize swoops past a crouching Tenda... the next moment, when Ray tries to stick out a paralytic poisoned dagger, he is shocked to his side and sinks into darkness.

"I had a good aim, but ... "

　What Ray did was not so complicated.Simply, after the death-size passed over Tenda's head, he turned it back at the same speed.
　This is a turnaround that depicts a trajectory that would be absolutely impossible for a person who originally uses a long object the size of a death.It was a blow unique to Ray, who felt only about the weight of waribashi (Japanese chopsticks) with the effect of reducing the weight as a magic item of death magic item.
　After blowing more than 10 meters away, he gathered his left ribs and turned his eyes to Tenda, who fainted due to the shock and pain, to check the battle of the other members.The man, an archery expert who had been entrusted to Seto, had already been dragged down to the ground and was completely unable to move with his right forefoot placed on his back.

(Even though he was a skilled archer, it was impossible to deal with Seto.)

　Ray smiles inwardly.
　In fact, a man who was an archery expert made full use of the size of the dance hall and shot arrows at the set flying freely in the sky, but he was avoided most of them or shot with eagle claws, and some of them were bitten from the side by a kuchibashi, and finally his legs were scooped up by his tail, and his right foot was placed on the fallen back and he was unable to move.
　Fluorocarbons and Brasso were the next two to look at.
　Although it was disadvantageous in terms of the number of soldiers, it was almost equal to two veteran swordsmen who had advantageous weapons such as spears and one of the two swordsmen who was the avant-garde of them.
　Two swordsmen hit each other in the air, and the sword wielded by a wolf swordsman in the snowfield is swept away by the sword of Fluorocarbons.Fluorocarbons tried to make a slight break from his body's swimming, but his spear was thrust out.Brasso's earth-shaking hammer breaks a spear thrusted out against Fluorocarbons, but another spearman wields a spear at him through a wide gap.
　As far as we can see, it was almost an even deadlock.

(...even? Wait.)Ray suddenly remembers the number of enemy members waiting for him and looks around the dance hall again.
　The witch-like middle-aged woman, sensing the immense magic Ray gives, muttering something meaningless in her mouth.

(This woman wizard won't be a problem for now.)

　muttered inwardly, and turned her gaze sideways.

「……」

　We met Harbard's eyes as he looked towards Ray in silence.
　No. Of course, he's wearing a helmet that seems to cover his whole face, so he shouldn't know if his eyes met or not, but Ray himself felt that his eyes met almost instinctively.
　Then the other man looks around him, and when he finds out that there is no one in the way of the battle between him and Ray, he wields Harbard in his hand.
　It's roaring!
　The wind noise is less than Ray makes when he wields his death size.But still to a very simple adventurer -- not a sound that can be heard by any less than rank C adventurer employed by the Azot Chamber.

「……」

　He took one step towards Ray, holding Harbard in silence, and then two or three steps slowly, but surely he made up his mind.
