After the battle at the dance hall, the Gala pigeons march through the residence of Bornter.
　I sometimes encountered maids and cooks who were employed in residences, but fortunately most of the people who encountered them were more fond of Galah doves than Bornter and did not cause any disturbance.
　It was, however, largely because Galajato promised to employ him properly even after he became the head of the Azot trade.If not, there would have been some people who would make a fuss here to earn points against Bornter.

"...and the office where Bornter is supposed to be is near the place where I met him?"

　When Ray asks while walking in front with Seto, Gala pigeon nods small.

"Yes, I'm sure about that.I would normally have a room to take refuge in the event of an attack on my house, but my brother was absolutely confident in it.Indeed, no one has ever been safe in the house."

　It may have been influenced by adventurers employed as guards, and by the magic itemization of fences and fences as if they were solidifying the perimeter of the house.There were few who could break through it, and even if they did, the mansion, home to the adventurers such as the Rank B adventurer Galahato, was a little too soft to do anything about it.

"But that's because of Mr. Gala pigeon's presence.In fact, after Bornter's decision to cut off Mr. Gallagato, most of them were sent to guard the house as if they were small fish to me."
"It is certainly of poor quality.You could have said that the guys who fought in the dance hall were the best... that's the way it is."

　muttering, Ray was passing a man of Harbard.

(He was the exception.It was an overwhelming performance compared to Tenda, who said that she had the same ability as Rank B.Fortunately, I was fighting as if I were watching over without doing my best, but... if I had kept fighting like that, I would have dragged on until the end of the day after day after day after day, I lost.In particular, magic items that seem to have the effect of always recovering are extremely troublesome.It was attached by Seto, but it was so troublesome to make enemies.)

　Seto is also equipped with a magic item called Shizukuishi, which is always effective in recovering, but since it was originally a Rank A monster, it will not be damaged if there is not much left.Therefore, Ray had hardly ever realized the effect.

"Oh, Mr. Galla pigeon,"

　Walking around the house, a maid appears from the corner.She is probably in her late teens.
　And when he saw the maid's face, Gala pigeon's face slightly distorted.
　It's remorse that floats there.for the maid in front of him was the one whom his brother had repeatedly whipped to relieve his anxiety.What can I say to myself, even though I'm half-blooded?I thought so, but I managed to open my mouth even though I realized that my expression was stiff.

"...is the wound all right?"
"Yes, thanks to Gala pigeon's instructions to give me top priority in getting treatment, I don't have any trouble moving problems."
"...is that so?"

　Gala pigeon didn't know what to say to the maid in front of him.Surely that's enough about the wound.It was Gala pigeon's authority to give him first priority.but it was true that the scars of the whiplash which had been struck on his back remained.The skin ripped and the flesh ripped.How much did it hurt the maid, who is still a teenager?The Gara pigeon bites his lips off without thinking, and a streak of blood flows down the edge of his lips.
　The maid must have realized what Gala pigeon was worried about.He smiled and looked at Seto.

"Mr. Gara pigeon, this is the Gryphon that you've been talking about in town, and I hear you're friendly, but can I stroke you?"
"Huh? Oh, oh... Ray?"

　Ray, who begged her to do so, somehow felt their relationship and nods.

"Oh, I don't mind.It's basically friendly.If you don't stroke him with evil intentions, he will be quiet, so don't worry."
"Thank you, then,"

　With a smile on his face, he bowed to Ray and reached for Seto's head.

"Glu?"

　It is a set with a small cry in the back of the throat and a slight tilt in the neck.The maid, watching the scene, smirks and caresses her back in disbelief that Rank A Monster was in front of her."Oh, it's a very smooth touch.It's my first time doing this."
"Well, that's good.Do you know which room your brother is in?"

　I thought it was cruel to ask a girl who had been treated badly by her brother, but now it is a matter of time.Almost all the adventurers and tinklers who had gathered in this mansion would have been knocked down or impotent, but I would nevertheless like to put an end to this absurdity before any irregularity arose.That was Gala pigeon's honest feelings.Then tell yourself that the maid girl in front of you will be safe as a result.

"Your master is in the drawing-room,"
"...not the office?"

　I was told that it was a reception room, so I couldn't help but ask back.The office needs to have a long-term Bornter, so there are magic items that are suitable for defense.and yet he did not know that he was in the drawing-room in this situation.
　Of course, the reception-room was a place to meet the person whom he had asked, and as a Bornter, who knew that he had a reasonable grudge against, he was prepared for an emergency.However, compared to his office, where he spends most of the day, he is no longer familiar with it.But if you think about the reason why I'm still in the drawing room...

"Is anyone asking you?"

　Who is going to ask you when your residence is being attacked?I thought so, but that was the only reason I could think of for using the drawing-room.

"Yes, you're here."

　and the maid nodded very easily.

"...can I tell you where I am so easily, if I may be your employer?"

　Ray suddenly wonders, but the maid shakes her head slightly.

"We are certainly employed by your master.But that doesn't mean they don't talk.I have emotions accordingly, and I feel dissatisfied if I do something bad.And..."

　A maid with a sad expression on her face for a moment, I noticed the reason being a Galahat who saw her injured firsthand.and only Murt, who accompanied the Gala pigeon.
　They must have noticed their caring expressions.The maid shook her head with a smile again.

"I am a resident of the town of Gilm.If you work here, I know the Azot trade is doing a lot of bad things.In contrast, Galajato has been trying to stop it, so I think this whole mess was meant to happen."
"No!"

　A cry of anguish, albeit low in voice, that the people around him could hear without doubtless.It was the Gala Pigeon who raised the voice.

"I... knew what my brother was doing, but in the end I've been ignoring him.I don't have the kind of personality you call me! I knew that Ray tried to touch me right away, even though he declared that he had not done it twice.I'll pull him out of the Azot Chamber of Commerce, so that Ray won't be able to interfere with him, rather than he would kill me.That's really the only purpose that caused this uproar.As I said in the beginning, I'm not the kind of guy you think I am.It's just selfish."

　His voice, squeezing out, calms the people around him, and the maid gently reaches out to the Galah dove with a smile on her face, clutching her hand as hard as she can, tearing the skin with her nails and a few drops of blood falling on the floor.

"No, Mr. Galla pigeon.Mr. Galajato is going to take the Azot trade on his back, and he'll get hurt like this... I'm sorry, but please bear with him."

　He carried a handkerchief out of his pocket to his mouth, held it with his teeth, and tied it in two, covering the palms of his Galahat with each handkerchief.

"This is all I can do now, but please treat me as soon as possible."
"... why?"
"What?"
"Why don't you say anything? I just told you. I knew what he was doing, but I still didn't stop him.Why, if I had acted earlier, you would not have been scarred for life for no reason whatsoever to relieve your brother's anxiety."
"Still..."A handkerchief-clenched handkerchief-clenched.

"Even so, Gala pigeon eventually stood up.Even if that's because of my own desire to help my brother, wouldn't it be good if there were people who could help him? At least I think so."
「……」

　Gala pigeon has no choice but to return a dumb look to the maid with a smile.
　After a while the maid opened her mouth with a playful smile as she blushed, perhaps embarrassed to be stared at in the face.

"Well, if you don't have anyone to give me, and it's unsold... will you give me a Gala pigeon?"
"Oh! No, wait.Consider the age difference.You and I are a light ten-year-old apart!?"
"It's not unusual for couples to be that old?"

　Gala pigeon blushes at the maid's words.It's only natural that they stopped communicating with each other that made their backs itch, and even though they were over 30, they were still single and didn't even have a boyfriend.

"Oh, that's all right here! If you want to mess with me, finish this mess!"

　Fluorocarbons give you a shout.In a way, it was inevitable that the words were mixed with jealousy.

"Oh, wow, what am I? I'm sorry.The maid got carried away."
"Well, yes.Indeed, I must give priority to stopping my brother now.Well, let's talk about this again next time.There will be a lot of trouble tonight, so please hide somewhere else.along with the others who work in the house, as I have said to the servants I have met."
"... yes, Mr. Galla pigeon, be careful."

　When she nods with her cheeks dyed slightly, the maid walks away in front of the Gala pigeon rather than saying, "Ray and the others."
　Brasso muttered, looking at his back, as if he had noticed something.

"My current daughter told me to be careful only of Gala pigeons, but I don't know what to do with them."
"Oh, that's the only one in the eyes of a woman in love.Well, more than that... where's the reception room? Hey, don't be so s*xy and come to your senses as soon as possible."

　Gara pigeon, who had seen the maid off at Fluorocarbons' words, came back to life and coughed as if to recover her mind.

"I'm sorry, but it was the drawing-room.Then it's on the second floor.But I have to go up the stairs which are different from the ones at the dance hall, and I'm right about the direction."
"Well, let's put an end to this mess, then."Tomorrow we will dismantle Harpy..."
"No, don't you have to force yourself to dismantle Harpy tomorrow? It must be a little harsh to take a nap after this disturbance.I'll have to have an interview tomorrow afternoon."

　Ray remembers that the interview I already had with Lenora in the guild was a long time ago.It's no wonder that so many things happened in a day.

"Well, as to Harpy's case, it will be all right the day after tomorrow.If you don't have a Ray item box, you'll have to take the material off before it rots, even if you push yourself a little."

　Brasso nodded, and Fluorocarbons walked down the corridor without saying anything.And...

"That room,"he muttered, turning his eyes to the door, which he had seen for ten minutes.

"There are several drawing-room rooms in this mansion, but if it were to be called the drawing-room your brother would use in an emergency, it would certainly be that room where the escape route to the outside was hidden."
"Escape?"
"Yes, by moving the cupboard in the drawing room, an escape route leads out.It was not so much your brother's... that the successive presidents of the Azot trade had prepared just in case.Enter the room, and the cupboard on the right-hand side serves as the entrance to the escape route, so please keep it down first."
"...set,"
"Glu".

　She nods to Ray's words, saying, "Leave it to me."
　Ray agrees satisfactorily that it would be impossible for Bornter to escape to Seto alone.

"All right. ... Here we go!"

　said the Gala Pigeon, opening the drawing-room door and rushing in.
