The day after the extermination of the abnormal species, Ray and Elena were coming to the dining room for breakfast.
　I was bothered by the strange noise in the dining room, but what attracted Ray's attention was the food that several guests were having for breakfast. That is to say...

"Udon?"

　Yes, it's definitely udon that the customer is eating. Although the ingredients and soup are slightly different from what Ray knows, there was no doubt that it was the first noodle dish to bring to Ergin.

"Do you know? It's a dish that was introduced to Egjpgil. It is said that the dish was invented in Gilm, which is famous as a remote town."
"... I see,"

　Hearing Ray's muttering, the waiter replies, and Elena nods softly, realizing what Ray was surprised at.
　Gilm and Egzil are quite apart in distance. That's to the extent that it would take a few months to travel on foot each way.
　He must have been surprised to hear that the food was invented in guillem at such a distance.
　Of course that's one reason, but that's not the only reason. In the first place, Udon was popularized by Ray, and it is true that Udon noodles were a kind of common food in guillem and its surroundings, perhaps because of the popularity of the dish or because of the skill of the chef. However, I could not help but open my mouth and be surprised that the food I taught had spread to Egjir.

(I don't think seafood okonomiyaki will spread all over the country soon?)

　With that in mind, Elena and I order udon and sit down to try it out.
　for a few minutes Udon noodles are cooked in a few minutes because they are so thin that they are brought to a bowl of rice with udon, ingredients and soup.
　"As might be said to be a luxury inn, all the ingredients used were first-class." Starting with the meat of Rank C monsters called Armard Sheep, which live deep in dungeon, and the sprouts of arraune, this is also a rich sauce that makes you want to eat as much as you want, even though it is a strong seasoning for breakfast.

(Udon noodles are very different from what I know.)

　Most of the udon that Ray knows is served in a cafeteria. However, what we are eating now is a dish that should have been described as a luxury dish created by top chefs with a great deal of effort and effort.

"Oh, this is delicious."
"Oh, now that we've come this far, we can say that it looks similar but tastes very different."

　Using a fork, enjoy noodles with meat that melts in your mouth as soon as you chew, while leaving a moderate amount of elasticity.
　As Ray learns, Elena also tastes udon with the sprouts of Arlaune.
　They just concentrate on each other's eating speechlessly, and in about 10 minutes the bowl empties.
　He spooned the last soup into his mouth, let out a sigh of satisfaction... and finally he could afford to listen to the commotion around him.

"Is that true!"
"Oh, I'm sure. As soon as I got up and heard the story, I sent my family to see what was going on. It's definitely burnt down. and the surrounding buildings."
"But why... there's nothing else about there that could cause a fire."
"Well, I hear that the dead body is rolling about, so at least it's not like an accident. Perhaps I was attacked by someone."
"Attack? But what happened around there?"
"As for that matter, it seems that the Silwa family rented the warehouse at the center of the fire."
"Hey, wait. The Silwa family? Then..."
"Oh, I'm sure there will be a retaliatory row against the person who started the fire. for most of the bodies that were rolling were adventurers serving the Silwa family."
"...don't be rough..."
"Oh, or maybe we should get out of Egzil at once." I don't want to get involved in a retaliatory scandal."
"Shall we do that, too? But the Silwa family may judge the very act of leaving Egzil."
"We have no choice but to choose it ourselves, don't we?" Do you want to stay in Egzil and get involved in a retaliatory row or leave Egzil knowing that you are suspected of being involved in this case?"

　That sort of talk is going on all over the dining room.
　Most of the guests are wealthy merchants, aristocrats, and high-ranking adventurers, since it is a golden pavilion known as a luxury inn in Egjil. That's why he talks with his acquaintances about how to escape the uproar set in Egzil.

"... Elena,"
"Oh, I hear you. But a warehouse?"

　At Ray's call, Elena frowns back.
　Both of them already know. Where is the warehouse where the bodies were lying after being burnt down?
　They said they were warehouses that brought in abnormal species of Spear Frog yesterday.

"If that warehouse was attacked, it was probably that..."

　I turn my eyes to Elena without further comment.
　Elena nods silently that the idea is correct from Ray's perspective.
　They agree that the person who created the abnormal species attacked the warehouse to destroy evidence.

(But, then, which is it, the Levysors and the Marcels? Since both of these families had purchased magical stones, either of them could attack.)

　I could only come up with one answer, as I put my thoughts together inside.
　That is to say...

"The House of Levisor,"
"That's certainly the best possibility. But..."

　Elena hesitates to nod to Ray's words.
　I've never met Pri, who is also the head of the Maaschel family, but as far as the rumour goes around, most of them are better than Schaffner at least.
　Given these circumstances, I naturally believe that this kind of blatant destruction of evidence and verbal attacks are also at Schaffner's disposal.
　However, despite the circumstances in which I could assert myself, I couldn't believe it was the right answer in Elena.
　a subtle sense of strangeness something that cannot be explained by circumstantial evidence alone Such a thing exists in Elena.

"What's wrong with you? Did you have any questions.
"...there is, but there is no evidence."

　Compared to such Elena, Ray had judged the incident entirely to be the bravery of the Levisor family.
　Yes, according to the schedule of the person who actually ordered the attack.

"Then... what should I do?" If this had nothing to do with us, I would leave it alone."

　Breathe out and carry a glass of chilled fruit water on the table to your mouth.
　If the attacked warehouse was simply a place where monsters were studied, or the Silwa family's facility, which had nothing to do with it, they would have continued to attack the 12th basement level toward the dungeon without worrying about it.
　However, the attack was carried out on a facility where abnormal species were dissected and studied. For Ray, who uses witchcraft, it's not something he can overlook."Well, why don't you ask the Silwa family once? We were the ones who got the wrong species in the first place. If the warehouse where the body of the abnormal species was found was attacked, it could be so. And... there are some things that bother me."

　It's not because of Ray's concern that he wants to head to the Silwa estate, but because he's been concerned about it for a while.
　But Elena's words were a cross for Ray, too. because of one's knowledge of how detrimental the existence of abnormal species is to one's own

"I'm sure you'll try it once." Even if it's a bosque, if you're attacked, you'll want to secure even a little bit of military power."

　Thus, Ray and Elena changed their plans for the day from Dungeon to Silwa's visit, and after breakfast, Seto and Yero left the hotel together because they were not Dungeon.





"... quite a few of them are murderous, as it may be."

　a ten‐minute walk from the Golden Pavilion I was walking around the city as usual, but the people on the main street were somewhat restless.
　The reason for this is that he is still considered an adventurer who can be described as half murderous.
　The city is flooded with people who serve the Silva family, who are indebted to the Silva family, and who also adore the existence of Bosque.
　The reason why there has been no disturbance in spite of his eagerness is because of his strong leadership.

"Yes, but there is no sign of any particular brawl or skirmish."

　He must have noticed the same thing as Ray. nod admiringly to Elena
　Whether it's Ray or Elena, he's a semi-combatter and knight. That's why there are so many adventurers all over the city that I don't really care about. However, it seems to the general public that the adventurers who were murderous are only threats, and they are moving quickly so that they don't shrink and get entangled in them.

"Anyway, I don't think we can do anything about it." The Silwa family was north of Egzil, wasn't it?"
"Oh,"

　The Silwa family. As soon as the word came out, Ray caught the attention of the adventurers around him, but it seems that the Silwa family and Ray were relatively close to each other, and most of them quickly turn away.
　Some did not know this and tried to entangle Ray with the Silwa family's name, but as soon as the adventurers around them were informed of the situation, they soon became quiet.
　No adventurer wanted to be involved with Ray or Elena because they were looking for someone who had a fight with the indebted Silwa family.
　Through the cluttered streets, we ride in the same carriage we used to use to get home from the Levisor family and head towards the Silva family, north of Egzil.
　The fact that Sett, who follows behind the carriage, looked less than usual is that the adventurers, and even the general public, who are associated with the Silwa family.

"About here. I guess it's like this for a while."

　muttered Elena, gazing out of the carriage window at the view.
　The view from outside the window is probably because the number of adventurers who were more murderous as they head north.
　The situation was expected as it headed north of Egzil, the home of the Silwa family.

(I think it's going to explode if I rub it badly.)

　Ray also looks out of the carriage and thinks inside.
　It's only natural that the Silwa family is basically full of blood, considering the restaurant where they first encountered the bosque.
　Since these guys are wandering around the city looking for suspicious partners, even once they've had a bad fight, they'll have to fight against all the adventurers associated with the Silwa family around themselves.

(I don't think I'll lose, but... I'm sure it's too much trouble.)

　With that in mind, I got out of the carriage and headed for the Silva, a large mansion that I could see from there.
　It is certainly the home of the Silwa family, and the number of adventurers increases as they approach the estate.
　Still, no one is suspicious of the Lays because of their relatively well-known relationship with Bosque.
　Having been summoned twice in the guild and had a personal discussion, the people around here were rated close to their guests, if not close to their relatives.
　In a sense, this is the safest part of Egzil's current situation, but not many people will still like to come here.
　It's obvious that not many people, however safe, want to spend so much time in a place full of tension.
　After a thoughtful walk, looking at the surroundings, you will eventually arrive at your destination, the Silwa mansion.
　As one of the three families that rule Egidil, they probably need a decent look. It was too large for the Rey's to be considered a bosque mansion to be described as solid and strong.
　That's comparable to the Levisor house where the Rays were called out once.
　And there are two men over 2m tall wearing full plate mail standing as gatekeepers.
　Ray opens his mouth to those two.

"I'd like to meet with Bossk about last night's affair, and I'd like him to talk to him."
