Despite a summer night, the Maaschel family's estate is kept warm compared to the outside, thanks to the effects of cold-air magic items.
　However, moving about wildly in it naturally made me sweat, and now many adventurers were walking around the cool Marcher estate with sweat on my forehead.
　It's already nighttime, usually time to drink, go out to the red-light district and go to the brothel, or early to bed, but in the present Marscher estate there are many adventurers walking, running and screaming.

"Is this document the name of the merchant who bought the jewelry?"
"Oh, ... only the merchants on the paper are listed." As for the merchants behind the scenes, they must have been in their drawers."

　In one room, I checked the documents while turning them upside down in my desk...

`Oh, my God!'
"What's wrong with you!? ...that the plant is becoming a monster! Wait, I'll help you right away!"
"Oh, hey, don't look over here! My clothes... are melting!"

　Also, is it the result of Pri's research in a certain room? The woman adventurer, who was examining the room, had trouble melting her clothes and exposing her skin...

"These are all jewels? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ought to be called the Marcher family
"He seems to have spent a good part of his money buying jewelry. But this is..."
"Why, don't you think you're going to have it in your pocket. If the Silwa family finds out, we must not live in peace."
"I know," But it would be nice to look at it for a momentarily."
"...that's about it,"

　In one room, a female adventurer was fascinated by the jewels that existed all over the room, and her fellow adventurers advised her not to do strange things.

"Oh, wait, this is..."
"This pile of bones... oh, really?" Ten or twenty is not a number. One hundred... if you're not good at it, more than that...
"I don't think it's going to be undead, as it seems to have been magically handled,"
"I thought it strange that there were so many traps in there to get inside. It's not a pile of treasure, but a pile of bones."
"And this bone has been subjected to some kind of magical treatment. You were probably going to use it for something."

　In one room, literally a pile of human bones... were discovered to have been magically treated as well.
　And...

"Oh, this is... it's a lot of accumulation,"

　a room in the Maaschel family The adventurers who went inside the hidden room muttered that the thief had found it.
　Lots of magic items in the room. There were many things available that could only be found in the dungeon, and the only way the Marchells could get them was to breathe bitterly.

"Look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look. There are so many magical swords in the dungeon that I rarely find."
"Oh, ... it's a little too much for us to handle." Hey, I'm sorry, but call Mr. Bosque. I want instructions."
"Oh? Oh, my. All right. I'll call you right away!"

　One of the adventurers, stunned by the magic items in the room, leaves the room in a panic.
　As was the importance of calling a bosque, I was afraid I might reach out carelessly if I stayed in the hidden room.
　The feeling is the same for the other adventurers, and eventually everyone leaves the room, not to mention anyone else.
　And a few minutes later...

"A pile of magic items," I suppose he used up all his power as the Marcher family."

　With a sigh, Bosque... and Ray and Elena follow suit.
　As for Vihela and Bune, they have already left for today.
　Originally Vichela had taken up her own lodgings, but in view of what had happened today, she had promised to stay with Bune for about a night, and went with him to the Frautian estate tomorrow.
　Vichela and Bune took Seto and Yero to the Golden Futei, saying that they would only get in the way of the Maaschel family under the current circumstances.

"This is... another tremendous number,"

　Magic items displayed in the room included weapons such as daggers, daggers, spears, shields, armor, and accessories such as bracelets and ankles -- but none of them had jewels on them -- as well as parts, watches, mirrors, books, cups, cards, candlesticks, lanterns, carpets, feather pens and lithographs, as well as magical metals.
　And...

「……」

　One of them completely catches Ray's eye.
　There was a metal case, which contained two crystal balls of about 10 cm in diameter that were familiar to me.
　Ray soon knew what it was. I have one myself, and I came to the labyrinthine city of Egzil looking for this magic item in the first place.
　a pair of oves
　The ornament of the oven was different from what Ray had, but it was definitely a magic item that allowed him to talk to someone far away.
　I never expected to find it here, not in the dungeon.
　As I looked at the pair of oves with such thoughts, I guess I soon realized that Ray was like that. Elena, who was talking with Bosc about the magic items in the hidden room, says.

"Ray? Was there something you were curious about?"
"... oh, nothing out of the ordinary."

　When Elena heard the words, she traced Ray's gaze... she must have understood what it was. open one's eyes in surprise

"This is... were we looking for?"
"Perhaps not. I never thought it was in this place."
"... I see,"

　If you're talking like that, then a bosque interrupts the conversation.

"Hey, what's wrong with you... Huh? Is that magic item or something?"
"Yes, the reason we came to Egidil was to find magic items that would allow us to talk even in remote places."
"At a distance...?"

　After listening to Ray's words and thinking about something for a few seconds, Bosque eventually smiles at his lips.
　If anything, Bossk, with a smile to describe, turns his gaze to Elena and mutters in a low voice, so that the adventurers outside the hidden room cannot hear it.

"Well, I see," I thought there was a purpose... but it was for a very feminine reason."
"...what do you want to say?"

　a voice a few steps lower than usual Elena's
　Bossk, who seriously believes that any more teasing could draw a connecting sword from his left hip, shook his head in a hurry.
　I fully understood how powerful the connected sword was in the fight against Oriqueur. Even if you fight, you should have a winning percentage of 20 percent. The speed of transformation is due to objective judgment"No, no, it's nothing. Oh, then, is that the magic item the reward I'll give you for this case?"

　Bosc's words stop Elena's movements and open her mouth after a few seconds of silence.

"What are you talking about? This house belongs to the Marcher family. You are now investigating various charges, but that doesn't mean you can embezzle them on your own."
"These magic items must belong to the Maaschel family, but there is no doubt that they will be destroyed after all this stir. If that happens, of course we'll have to take care of it... and above all, most of the magic items here probably include stolen goods and stuff."

　a bosque mumbling, lifting a nearby lantern and stroking its surface.

"But it's almost impossible to find out whose property it belongs to. It will probably go to Egzil's operating expenses in an auction. Then it is not strange for me to buy it before I do so, and give it to you as a reward."
"...yes,"

　It was surprising to Ray that Elena had admitted to Bosc's remarks.
　I had always thought it was embezzlement.
　However, few people, including this exil, occupy the land, the people, or the city by any dark means. Everyone is more or less involved in that kind of thing.
　In the first place, it was before common sense for aristocrats to drink both pure and sound in this world of Elgin.
　Just as most creatures cannot live in a beautiful lake.

(Well, I've heard before that you have a connection with the organization behind you. Are you conscientious enough to pay the money?

　Satisfied, Ray turns his gaze to Elena.
　Of course, Ray would have been very welcome if he could get magic items for the phone call here.
　Even if the dungeon says that these magic items are sleeping, if they are definitely available, you can't help but wonder about them.

"All right, then I'll take it with thanks."

　Elena would have come to the same conclusion as Ray. nod softly to a bosque

"Come to my house tomorrow, I beg your pardon," I'll give it to you again then. If possible, I'd like to hand it over here, but there's a kind of procedure. and I must find out how much I will buy it."
"...will that be ready to-morrow?"

　When he asks Ray unconsciously, Bosque nods his head slightly.

"It's true that it takes some time, but who do you think I am? Before that, I have to solve this case as soon as possible and report it to the country. Egidil alone is not the only problem that can be done about the Holy Knights."
"Certainly,"

　Rey nods in spite of Bosque's words.
　Shokoism is not a religion born in Egzil. It was preached by a man who had been dispatched from the Church of the Holy Light.
　As long as its existence was actually confirmed in the Duke of Quevel, the country needed to crack down on it.

(In that sense, unlike Japan, it is convenient that there is no freedom of religion.)

　Whispering in private, he suddenly knocks on the hidden door.

"What's the matter?"

　The knocker also quickly informs the Bosque of his immediate response through the door.

"Mr. Bosque, there is a relative of the Maaschel family."
"What happened?"
"Well, get out of the Maaschel estate,"
"...what?"

　The remark was probably unexpected. an involuntary question
　Even Ray and Elena, who were listening next to her, lean their heads as if they were having trouble understanding.
　Given what the Marcels have done, it's only a bad idea to come out overbearing if you're not good at it.

(Or didn't you know what Pri was doing? That's why he couldn't stand the Silva in the Maaschel estate.)

　mutter in one's heart and decide that it might be surprisingly possible.
　After all, whatever Pri was doing, it would be fatal if others knew about it. Speaking of being a relative of mine, Ray decided that it was not true.
　Or, apart from the fact that the Marscher family relative was cooperating with Pri's crime, it seems unlikely that someone who came and shouted to leave the house as soon as possible could do so.

"By the way, is it right for Bosque to call his blood relatives?"
"Huh? Ah. The Maaschel family will probably be ruined, but we'll just have to keep it alive until it's decided." It's a provisional head of the family who knows nothing, but it's necessary to have it ready."

　As Ray says, Bosque says, scratching his head painfully.
　But Elena, listening to it, opens her mouth with a puzzled look.

"I heard of Pri's relatives when I came to this mansion before. a child of a distant relative?"
"To be exact, it is the father of the relative who is here now. When Pri was alive, he would never approach the estate, and would have readily obeyed Pri's orders to make his child the future head of the Marcher family... well, I don't think I could get you involved any more. I have to deal with them, but what about you?"
"I don't want anything to do with it," I'm going to look around for some more evidence that will come out of this mansion. Is that all right with Ray?"
"Oh,"

　Thus, the three men who leave the hidden room are divided into two groups: Bossk, Elena and Ray.
