A voice uttered from behind after clearing everything away except for about three bandits on horseback.
　When I turned to his voice, I saw a man who had been a coachman in the first carriage of a passing merchant party.

"You guys... came all the way back? You're a good-natured fellow again.

　Normally, they wouldn't come back worrying about the way the robbers who attacked them -- even if they had been forced to do so.
　But the coachman in front of me went out of his way to come back. While wondering whether to be dumbfounded or impressed by his absurd honesty, the robbers naturally take the opportunity to escape.
　Seeing that the horse had not yet moved, I tried to jump off the top of the horse and run away.

　Cut it!

　The man who was about to run at the front was cut to pieces by a sword fired by a death-size flying sword, and stopped without thinking.

"Don't run away, I still want to ask you something. I'll keep you alive at least until it's done."
"...huh!"

　Flying slashes, the blow that seems to robbers to be nothing but wind magic is breathtaking.

"Grull".

　Then, the moment they saw Sett approach with a squeal, they all sat down in horror.
　The coachman muttered with admiration.

"I came back worried about you, but it seems that you were too worried. --I never thought he had a Gryphon with him."

　The coachman was surprised at Seto and said so, with a slight twitch in his cheek.
　But the three adventurers who brought Ray and Elena as auxiliaries were frozen with astonishment at the sight of Seto.

"There is no need to be afraid of Seto. for if you are not hostile, you will not attack yourself."
"Well, what's that Gryphon?"
"Ray's... the adventurer's devil with the scythe over there."

　Listening to Elena muttering carelessly, the coachman opens his eyes to Ray and Sett as if he had noticed something.

"An adventurer with a scythe accompanied by a Gryphon, then, that child -- no, that he was crimson, who was nicknamed in the war against the Empire of Bestia?"
"Oh, don't be so," ... well, wait a minute for that. Now I have something to do before that."
"Yes, yes,"

　While nodding to Elena's words, the coachman again opens his eyes as if he had remembered something.
　Its gaze is focused on the golden hair and the beauty of Elena, which is reflected only in the sun. And the scabbard of the waist. Suppose I had heard of him in the sheath, or... Elena knew from that glance that he had recognized his true identity.
　In the first place, Elena has appeared on the front stage many times, including the Victory Parade, as a princess general, who is also the face of the aristocracy, so it is safe to say that some people knew her face. She's always so beautiful that you'll never forget at first sight.
　But Elena opens her mouth as if to preempt the coachman's attempts to tell her something.

"I'm an adventurer on a journey. -- all right?"

　The coachman swallows the words he was about to utter in that tone of caution.
　Ray was looking at the two of them interacting with each other, but before long he found a group of about 30 people in front of his eyes. However, it was only because of Ray's sight that I could find it, and only Elena, who somehow sensed that it was approaching here, and Sett, who had five senses sharper than Ray, had not noticed it at all.

"Set, it would be bad to leave the thief alone, so please clean him up."
"Gurgling!"

　At Ray's call, Seto chants as if he were left to do so, fluttering his wings after a few steps of running.
　The coachman and the adventurers look up dumbfounded, but Ray calls out to the surviving bandits.

"Well, let's go now. How many bandits do you have in all, cavalrymen here... that's a little waste, but they're the ones riding horses."
"Well, that's..."
"I know there are about thirty thieves on their way. I left it to Seto, as you've seen. So that's all I want to hear. and the hideout."
"Well, can you sell your company?"

　A different man shouts so than the man who hesitated to answer Ray's question.
　The disappearance of Gryphon's set may have brought him back to his senses.
　Determined to do so, Ray swung back his death-size handle in his hand and thrusts his huge blade at the man's neck.
　...yes, not the man who said he couldn't sell his companions, but the first man who hesitated to say so.

"...hew!"

　For the first few seconds, he had no idea what he was like, but when he saw a huge blade under his chin, he screamed involuntarily.

"Don't be so bad at all. If you move, this death-size sharpness will make your head jump."
"Oh, oh. All right... All right, just get this out of the way!"
"No, I'm sorry to say that I'll take you as an example. The other two seem to be very stubborn, but I'll change my mind if I see you hurt."

　mutter, move the death size a little, have the blade touch the man's throat, and make a slight scar.
　Even with such a small cut, he must have found blood running down his throat. The man twitched his cheeks and looked at his two companions for help.
　But the other two men shut up, wondering if they still think they can't sell.
　though the man who first told him he could not sell his companions glared at Ray and the other glanced gently away.
　Watching it, Ray whispered softly to the man with the blade pointed at him.

"They seem to have made the decision to abandon you," I'm afraid I'll set you up as a harrowing example. Lost all fingers, lost arms, lost legs, shaved nose, gouged eyes, cut off tongue..."If you look at me like that, I'm sure they'll be honest."

　Even a man who has lived as a thief is told that his spine is freezing, and his forehead is filled with cold sweat and his teeth click with fear.

(One more push...)

　Seeing the man in possession of his life, he takes the dagger out of the mistling as if it were his last finish... and throws it at the instep of the foot of the man with a death-size blade at him.
　Ray wanted to stir up his fear by stabbing him directly, but in his present position he could not imitate stabbing a dagger directly.

"Oh, my God!"

　Suddenly a dagger sticks through his shoes and he screams bitterly.
　The reason why I didn't move was probably because of the death-size blade that stuck to my throat.
　In fact, Ray was also preparing to pull the blade whenever the man moved.

"Ouch, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, my God!"
"Isn't it because your friends don't give you information? I'm sorry, I don't have a tendency to be happy to hurt others." It was my right foot, and now it is my left foot."

　muttered, gently showing the edge of the dagger from the mistling.
　At that moment...

"Okay! I'll tell you! I'll give you the information, so stop it!"
"Oops! Are you going to sell your company?"

　The man who was confronted by Ray's death size yells at his companion in an involuntary manner.

"Don't say such a thing now, in the habit of watching me hurt in silence!"
"No! It's not like you from the beginning..."A death-size stonemate is hammered into the dove of the man who screamed.
　Perhaps because of the maximum restraint of his strength, the stonemate never penetrates the dove and kills the man, but he still falls to the ground unconscious.
　The last man left was just shaking and watching.
　The man who had been hurt by Ray until recently would have been the most surprised by the situation. Because the scythe, which had been thrusting its blade at my neck until a moment ago, suddenly disappeared, and I was stabbing my companion's pigeontail in the buttocks.
　She has no idea what really happened and responds to Ray's interrogation, feeling sorry for attacking someone she shouldn't attack again.
　Everyone at the scene, including Elena, was watching the interrogation and listening to the man without saying anything in particular.
　From the point of view of those present, it was no problem to kill them without any questions or answers, so some people wondered why they were so compassionate.





　I'll be back for a moment.
　When Ray asked her to defeat the bandits, Sett was flying high into the sky so he wouldn't be found there.
　In a few minutes, he notices the bandits walking down the street, whining their throats, flapping their wings wide, accelerating, and descending toward the target.
　With the help of gravity, it descends straight down... no, it falls.
　After the first flap of his wings, he folded his wings to prevent the bandits from seeing him.
　Nevertheless, some of the people who were walking directly below me tried to look up.

"... Huh? What's that, just in case?"

　The bandit, who was walking at the end of the gang of thieves, looked straight up but couldn't find anything and turned his gaze forward... the next moment he was crushed by the falling set, his bones were crushed, and he died instantly.

"What!"

　The robbers around them scream involuntarily, unaware of what had happened. Or even those who hadn't noticed their comrades had been killed.
　the skill set used in descending It was an optical camouflage obtained by absorbing the magical stones of Remrace.
　The optical camouflage of Lv.1 has an effect time of only about 10 seconds, and it was used when it fell, so it was about 3 seconds, so 7 seconds left.
　But with the agility of Seto, the glyphon, seven seconds would have been enough. Yes, it's not just 7 seconds. We have seven seconds.
　As they land on the ground, the robbers' internal organs, bones, blood, flesh, body fluids, and so on, are scattered around them, jumping again and waving their forefeet down to the bandits nearby.
　The head is crushed by an eagle's sharp claws, kicked off by a lion's foot, and blown away while crushing ribs. A blow from a kuchibashi breaks the head like a forefoot.
　A few seconds, before the thief turned around, who realized the unusual situation behind him, Seto had instantly killed or made more than a dozen robbers uncombatable by fully capable of being a Rank A monster.
　And...

"Wow, what's going on? What's going on?"

　At last I realized what was going on behind me, and I looked at the screaming thief with transparency."

"Roll-roll-roll-roll!"

　A set that flaps its wings as it chirps high and thrusts forward.
　You can hear the cry, but you can't see any monsters around you. In such a situation, there is no way that an adventurer can cope with a thief who is nothing but an adventurer, and the instantaneous power of the Gryphon and his body size of more than 2m make him jump while breaking his bones or crushing his flesh.

"Mo, monsters!? Get ready for weapons!"

　One of the bandits who is still safe screams, but by that time Seto, who has already passed through the crowd, instantly puts himself in position and attacks the band again.
　Just before the blow from the eagle's forefeet hits the man's head who screams for weapons... the effect of optical camouflage expires.
　Seto had fallen from the air, and in less than 7 seconds 30 percent of the bandits on the spot had already died out and collapsed to the ground with injuries of less than 40 percent. Some have fallen unconscious, or can only moan in pain.
　But in some ways the bandits who remained intact would have been more miserable. The others were killed or wounded without knowing what they had been attacked by, but those who were safe at this point saw Sett... that is to say, Gryphon's figure up close.
　Once they were confused, there was no way to do it to the robbers... it didn't take long for them to be wiped out.





　Ray and Elena then attack the thief's hideout from the information they find and succeed in stealing the treasure.
　There were a few absentees, but there was no way they could manage Ray or Elena, just because they were thieves.
　As for robbers, the surviving ones are handed over to the merchant forces who sell them as slaves, and the remaining horses and treasures which they judged to be unnecessary for Ray and Elena in the hideout of the robbers are collected and purchased, earning several gold coins.
