Ray, Vihela, Bune and Nact were heading to the Marcher family, where the sun was setting and Egidir was shrouded in darkness.
　As long as the purpose is to help Tivia, who is undercover and captured, he can't possibly travel around in a carriage as usual, but because of the problem of getting the attention of people around him, he walks a little faster.

"As long as Vihela is there, it will always attract attention."
"Oh, is that so? I don't mean it at all."
"... tell me after you remember your appearance, appearance, and reputation."

　When Vichela replies to Ray's words, she replies almost reflexively to them as if she didn't understand her appearance.
　Fortunately, thanks to the darkness of the night now, the eyes of the people around her are not turned as much as in the daytime, but many people still turn to Viehra's charming appearance and dancer-like appearance as they pass by.

(If we could get a little closer to the Maaschel family, there would be less traffic. ...when I think about it like this, it hurts that Seto is not here. Just because you're drunk, don't poke your nose at the Vihela you call a mad animal. No, it's inevitable that Vichela will attract him.)

　Ray mutters inwardly, ignoring the whistling of two men, pale with intoxication.
　for I thought that if there had been a set of gryphons over two meters in length, no one would carelessly interfere, even if they were drunk.
　Ray himself is nicknamed crimson, but it's only as a set with Seto. Judging from Ray's present appearance, it would be impossible to judge him to be a very talented adventurer.
　It goes without saying that Bune is only ten years old.
　Surprisingly, the most useful part of the party was Nacto.
　Even at some well-known parties, they are known as robbers with a certain edge of sound, and if you notice it, even drunk people don't get involved in it doesn' 　
　Or even if you don't know it, you'll draw it quietly if you stare at the nacht, the strongest of all.
　Yes, like the two of them who are now whistling at Vihela and Ray.
　They communicate like that, and continue on the back streets of the night with the guidance of Nact and Beune... and eventually see in the distance the Maaschel estate is illuminated by moonlight.
　Unlike the buildings in the city, Nacto opens his mouth to the mansion, which is illuminated by many lights.

"You can see it. ... From here on, let's move on with greater vigilance. Bune."
"Yes,"

　They look at each other as thieves and move quickly to see if there are any suspicious places.
　Fortunately or unfortunately, however, no one appears to attack him, and he continues to draw nearer to the Maaschel estate.

"... I'm free. Can you attack me at once anyway? I hope I'm a strong opponent."
"I'm going to infiltrate, and I don't want to cause trouble here."

　Vichela mutters a wet look at the back of her hand, but behind her, Ray breathes out a sigh and calls out to Vichela's back in a low voice to keep out of the way of the two bandits.
　The white back comes into view through the cloth, as it looks like a layer of thin clothing.
　No, in the moonlight, the glamour is more emphasized.
　However, there is no way that he can act in such a way that he would fall in love with his back in this situation. Ray focuses his attention on the background so that he can always respond to the enemy's attack.
　The ranks are Nact and Bune at the top, followed by Rey at Vihela. Then Ray's job was naturally to prepare for a surprise attack from behind.
　Contrary to the attitude of the party, however, there is no sign of the enemy attacking at all.
　He walked on, and then looked at each other with a strange... or rather suspicious feeling as he arrived right next to the Marcher estate.

"What do you think?"
"Possibly you haven't detected the attack on the slum hideout yet?"

　Vichela replies to Ray's words, but Nakt bows his head.

"I don't think the Maaschel family is so slow on information."
"Why, then, do you think there is no welcome?"

　Vichela's words of dissatisfaction leak out of her mouth.
　They came all the way to the Maaschel family in search of a fight against a strong enemy, and not even the small fish showed up.
　From the Nact's point of view, Vihela has a strong feeling that it is something to be pleased with because it is intended to infiltrate, but in the first place, Vihela has no acquaintance with her partner, Tevia, and does not feel the need to pay that much attention.
　However, I think Ray will blame me if I say it, so I don't say it just because I'm thinking about it.

"If you think about it safely, I think you're trying to lure someone into the premises not to let them go... what do you think of Ray?"
"Well, that's the best chance of course. Are you confident in your military strength as the Marscher family, or have you got some trump card to overturn it? We'll have to sneak inside to help Teavia anyway."
"Certainly,"

　Ray, who simply replies to Nacht's words, still looks around him just in case.
　Although Ray does not have the peculiar eye for thieves like Bune and Nact, he is a member of the Zepail family, has sharp senses, and can normally see at night.
　However, looking around with that gaze does not seem to hide the assailants in particular.
　The only exception would be the two gatekeepers in front of the gate, but even the gatekeeper looks somewhat slack.
　The scene seems rather eerie, and murmurs with a sigh.

"If there's nothing like this, you'll hesitate to sneak in."
"But as Ray said, we have to go in to help Teabia. ... right? Then I'll let you go first."

　Having said that, Vichela kicks the earth and heads swiftly to the Maaschel estate, feeling it is no use staying still here.
　Still, the reason why they are walking to a wall a little further away than the gatekeeper is protecting them is probably because Vihela doesn't want to make a fuss here.
　Or, if it had been bright, the gatekeeper might have felt something suspicious about Vihela's appearance. However, it is already nighttime, and the only light sources are moonlight and magic items inside the house.
　Of course, it was bright enough compared to other places, but it would have been bad if people asked me if I could see a Vihela-like presence properly.
　Moving on to the dead spot of the gatekeepers, he leaps after a few steps, touches the ornate statue of a bird just in the middle of the 5m high wall, climbs straight up to the top of the wall, turns his eyes to the Reyes for a moment and nods small, and immediately descends into the grounds of the Maaschel family.

"There seems to be no trap in particular,"

　Nact, who had been staring at Vihela in a blank manner, came to himself with a murmur of Ray.
　I tried to get angry at him for a moment, but I immediately decided that it was far from it.
　Someone else had to do it so long as it was sneaking in, and they were willingly.

"Well, let me go first," Don't be late, either."
"Yes,"

　Ray and Bune also make their way to the dead spots of the gatekeepers, speaking lightly to Nact.
　Continue running and jump. Up until now, it's the same as Vihela, but the next moment I put on Slapnil's shoes. You can easily jump over a wall about 5 meters high and reach the grounds of the mansion, stepping one or two steps and using the air as a foothold.
　After that, they use only one step as a foothold in the air and land on a neatly trimmed lawn, eliminating almost all of the impact and landing noise.
　Almost at the same time Ray landed, Bune also landed on the lawn, and then Nact landed near Ray a few seconds later.

"...there's no assault here, either?" Are you really not aware of this?"

　As soon as he landed, Ray was wary of the surroundings, holding a knife out of the mystery ring, but not even a lookout was present, let alone an enemy waiting for him waiting for.
　It's the same with the first Vihela to land in the garden, stretching sharp claws created by magic from the back of the hand, but immediately expelling a regretful sigh and annihilate them.

"Well, I'd rather have no enemies than to be infiltrated... than to be expected to have none." I should have kept about one person around here, if possible."

　look around with a somewhat unpleasant frown at the situation in which no one can see the enemy.

"Wouldn't it have been better to get more information out of them?"
"It's no use, Nact. Those six were deeply devoted to the doctrine of the Holy Light. No, it's almost brainwashing in that way. Do you think they'll divulge their information? It's martyrdom at best. It's true that we didn't have time for that. If I had wasted my time there, I would have come here much later, and I wonder if I'd have been caught by Tivia. You must have risked your life, too."
"... well, indeed,"In the first place, it was Esetus, who was also a member of Nact's party, who was making a fuss about running out of time. With that in mind, it's no use saying something to the Rays here.

"But... if you don't know where Tivia is, you can't do anything about it. You can't go into the house and look every inch of it." and if there was something like a hidden room in that hideout, like it was in that hideout."
"That's your turn and Bune's turn,"
"…I don't know if you can rely on me so easily." Of course, if it's a large house like the Maaschel family, there's a possibility that it's been stocked up on various things from the design stage."
"Yes!"

　Though Naqt disapproved of Ray's words, Bune muttered, "Leave it to me."
　Nact's mouth breathes when she hears a girl who is much smaller than herself...even more precisely younger.

"All right, I can't leave anything to this young lady. Besides, I don't know what Esetus would say if I had to do the best of them to help Tevia."
"Well, we've made a decision was made. Then I'll sneak into the house and get a guide if I can."
"But I'm sure there aren't that many people in the house waiting here, because the Maaschels have very few servants in the first place."
"But you've got to do it,"
"Well, yes,"

　Then the party approaches the mansion, guarding themselves against the surroundings.
　Unlike the outside, the walls are fitted with a number of lighting magic items that naturally make it easier to find.
　However, there were few guards employed as guards in the Maaschel family, and there were no guards to blame the Rays as they approached the house across the garden.
　... yes. The security guard is.

`Four make-up of Shinnusha,' Master Helenlacu."
"Ryokai. Typhorhynchus japonicus, fig yo-midea.

　Such a difficult voice to hear for an ordinary person echoes quietly around him.

"...what is it? It's something right now..."
"Ray? What's wrong?"

　Arriving close to the wall of the house, Ray suddenly stops and looks around.
　But when Vihela asks about it, she eventually shakes her head slightly, unable to find anything particularly suspicious.

"No, it's nothing. I thought you heard a little strange sound, but..."

　At the remark, Bune and Nacte quickly cast their sharp eyes around them.
　We look around as if we wouldn't miss any abnormalities, but there's no one particularly on guard.

"I'm sorry, maybe it's just my imagination."
"Is that so? Then I hope... I don't know what's going on. Let me know if there's anything you' This is the house of the Maaschel family, and as long as there is the Holy Light, I don't know what kind of means they will use."

　Saying so, Nact reaches for a nearby window to see what's inside.
　Watching it, Ray feels as if someone is still watching.
　However, when I looked around, there was no sign of living things, so I learned something that might not be beneficial.
