the laymen on the road After a few days of traveling, Elena had been able to make tea with advice from Tufal.
　Today is another day, and in the carriage Elena, who has prepared tea for Ray, presents a cup of tea to Ray, who is relaxing on the sofa.

"Ray, I tried my best at tea today, so please try it."

　The reason why her face, covered with golden hair, turns pale red as she muttered, is that the word marital passed through Elena's mind in this conversation, rather than lovers.
　Of course Elena did not forget that she was the only daughter of the Duke of Kelebel, the central figure of the aristocracy. Eventually I'll have to think more deeply about my relationship with Ray, but only now...
　The Duke of Kelebel himself, however, was in favour of his beloved daughter, Elena, joining him with all her arms, let alone his opposition. Given Ray's ability, it was quite natural for him to want to win over to the aristocracy.
　If Ray had been a commoner without any ability, even the Duke of Quevel would never have been able to support his beloved daughter's love. However, unlike Ray's world, the quality of the world overturns the quantity in battle. That being the case, Ray was no better person for the Duke of Quelevel than he could have supported his beloved daughter's love.
　But Elena herself is not informed of it, so she spends her days worrying about how to get her father to acknowledge her relationship with Ray.

"A cup of tea, then a cookie as a cup of tea.

　When I closed the monster dictionary I was reading and tried to take the sweets out of the mystery ring...

"Lady, Ray, there seems to be a band of tradesmen chased by thieves in the front of the road!"

　Two-fals in the cab speak to the two in the carriage.
　When Elena heard the remark, she acted quickly.
　If you say you have already left the Duke of Kelebel, you can say you are still in the neighborhood, and it is the aristocracy who rules the land. Without it, Elena's character prevented her from abandoning the thief.

"Two-fal, where is the merchant force fleeing?"
"He's coming this way,"
"How many robbers?"
"I wonder if there are twenty." but they are all on horseback."
"All right. Go to your aid at once. I don't think there will be any particular problem with that number of people. What about you, Ray?"
"Of course I'll. Robbery is a good customer to me, too."

　Ray responds with a smile on his lips to Elena, who asks him quickly to two-fals.
　For Ray, bandits were, in a way, ducks.
　Basically, the treasure that the thief has accumulated belongs to the adventurer who killed him, and even the people around him don't have to worry about being attacked by the thief.
　Ray doesn't bother, but catching robbers and selling them off as slaves would be a good thing for ordinary adventurers.
　It is possible, however, only with the ability to subdue thieves in small numbers. Some of the thieves are as skillful as wolves in the grass as Ray used to fight and now work under Dusker, or a band of thieves with more than a hundred bandits.

"Well, I have no complaints if you are going to knock down the robber here."

　He must have half realized what Ray thought. Elena is ready to fight, always pulling out her partner, the connected sword, with a wry smile as if she were a helpless fellow, breathing.
　I think this is a weakness that I fell in love with.
　Ray almost fell in love with Elena's dignified expression for a moment, but immediately shook her head and called out to the outside of the carriage.

"Set, you go behind the carriage," If the thief sees Seto, he'll run away as fast as he can. So, as soon as we and the bandits fight, go around behind them. It's a pinckered attack."
"Grunt!"

　Leave it to Ray's call! Set.
　It's easy, but when I hit them, the meeting was completed...

"Mr. Elena, Mr. Ray, we are about to miss the carriage, so please get ready for the battle."

　Two-fal, who pulled up by the side of the road, calls out, while a commercial party made up of several horse-drawn carts rapidly shrinks away.
　The last carriage of the merchant force must be accompanied by an escort. They're desperately shooting arrows at the thieves, but they're not losing. A simple wooden shield reduces the distance between the carriage and the carriage while protecting against arrows.
　Of course, only thieves can be protected by wooden shields, and horses cannot. In fact, several horses have received arrows and fallen to the ground with the bandits on their backs.
　Still, more than a dozen horses were running and aiming at the merchant force.

"He seems to be a bigger thief than I thought,"

　When Ray muttered as he watched a series of conversations in the carriage, Elena nodded as well.

"If you think you can get so many horses, they are not the only bandits. Perhaps the horse riders stopped the merchant force, and infantry caught up with them from behind. That's probably why the business force is so desperate to escape."

　While Elena and Ray are speaking fluently in a way, the merchant carriage, pursued by thieves, approaches quickly.

"Run away, you're a thief! If you stay there, you'll get caught up!"

　The coachman at the head of the carriage screams.
　While listening to the cry, Ray and Elena, who were opening the door, were surprised at each other's small faces.
　If they can only help themselves, they won't bother to talk to someone they pass by on the street. No, some people will consider it a good match for robbers who come after them from behind. However, the coachman of the merchant party did not imitate him and went out of his way to speak to him.

"Ray,"
"Oh, I know,"

　Ray also nods to Elena's words, which he likes about the behavior.

"Oh! Thief! Thief! Run away!"

　The coachman screams loudly again, but Ray screams back at such a coachman.

"Leave the thieves to us! You guys can run through like this!"
"There's a lot of people to deal with! ... Oh, d*mn it! I'm too late! Look, run away as soon as you're in danger!"

　While they were talking, the merchant's carriage was rapidly approaching, and they would have decided that they would not be able to escape from the bandits if the Lays moved the carriage now. Passing by, shouting loudly, pass each other and go away.
　A carriage or two pass by, and then the last carriage passes before the Ray's eyes.
　The thief, who was close behind the carriage, looked unconsciously at the carriage parked by the side of the road, and at the same time looked at Elena, who was always leaning from her waist-sheath through a connecting sword.
　The reaction was intense. It would have been clear which side would be more profitable to attack, the lays, who were supposed to have only one carriage, or the merchant carriage, who had a large supply of merchandise. But Elena's beauty easily reverses the robbers' accounts when they see it.

"Stop, stop,"What!"

　All who follow in the voice of the man leading the bandits pull the reins and stop their horses. Of course, the horse could not stop soon, and he finally succeeded in turning to the Rey's side after going about 10 meters.
　By then, all the thieves had already seen Elena, and the beauty of Elena left them breathless and nothing else to be seen.
　... yes, even Seto, who jumped out of the back of the carriage and was walking around behind him.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey I rarely see such a woman in the royal capital, too. And the horse I'm carrying is said to be of the best quality in War Horse. I was a little disappointed to have let the business run away, but it would be cheap if I thought I could get this woman and the Warhorse."a man who glares at Elena with a lustful glance Elena, who has been approached by men many times before, knows what her gaze means. Therefore, they frown uncomfortably and open his mouth.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not so mad as to deal with robbers like you. If I surrender quietly, I won't hurt myself."
"Hahaha, don't be silly. Do you understand the difference in the number of people? And there are still so many people here that you don't have to hurt my sister if she's caught quietly."
"Heh, my head! and pass it on to us, too.

　Another man calls out to the first man.
　Hearing the conversation, Elena realizes that the man who approaches her is the head of the thief.

"Ray, don't let them go,"
"I know... I know!"

　Elena's words were a clue. Ray throws a spear out of the mistling as if it were the first shot.
　Spears released by external forces cut through the air and fly sharply, detonating the man's head, which was called the head.

"...what? Huh?"

　The man who asked us to spin the elena, too, was right next to our heads, so pieces of meat and bone, or blood and brains, stuck all over our faces.
　I patted my face gently as if I didn't understand what had happened, and when I saw that my hands were red, I almost cried out...

"Huh!"

　At that moment, a connecting sword drawn by Elena forms a whip and cuts the man's neck with its blade.
　What the man raised was not a scream, but a splash of blood. The next moment, the point of the connected sword sticks into his head and extinguishes the light of life.

"Oh, wow, what a monster!"

　Neither Ray nor Elena noticed, but the man who just died was the deputy captain of the bandit. The remaining bandits fall into a state of confusion, as the top two die without any questions or answers.
　The two men who easily killed the head and vice-head leading them. Do you have a chance to fight and win?
　I think that way, but I reject it immediately.
　If you don't have a chance of winning, you can run away, but as far as what's going on, I don't think you'll let me go. And now that both the head and vice-head are dead, the reckoning that someone here will take over also goes beyond my mind.
　And the main reason for not running away at once was still Elena's presence. the most beautiful figure in the life of all the thieves here I could never overlook such a woman.
　It's fair to say that it was a disaster that he was lost in love and was not competent enough to sense Ray and Elena's abilities. But if I were to run away here...

"Gurgling!"

　Seto, who had gone around behind him, would never have made him behave like that.

`Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

　Among the robbers who turn to Seto's call, a man with the title of a former adventurer and some knowledge of monsters screams.
　Rank A Monster, also known as the Death God of the Sky. I knew the figure, even though I had never seen it in person.
　and even the other bandits around him knew the name Gryphon.
　It was true that Ray and Elena's fighting power, as seen earlier, was an extraordinary skill for thieves, but there is a perception that they are after all the same people. But the Gryphon is different. an unknown being who sees it for the first time in one's
　The fear of the unknown blinded Elena's beauty and managed to get over the last line of the bandits who had stayed here.

`Ni, ni, ni, run away!'

　The voice of the former adventurer, who had recognized Seto as a Gryphon, echoed round him, and he tried to get his horse out of the way as if it had been a signal. . . .

"Gurling!"

　The king's coercion, also known as Seto's skill, stops the bandit's movement... and above all, the horse's movement.
　When this happens, the men's resistance is already completely meaningless, and one blade after another becomes a death-size prey that Ray takes out of the mystery ring.
　Then, leaving only a few people behind, a horse-drawn carriage comes from behind when the thief is destroyed.

"Oh, are you all right!"

　The man, who approached me nervously, belonged to a coachman who had just passed by while telling the Reyes to run away.
