527 Episode 0527



A few minutes after leaving Silva's house, Vichela's mouth suddenly said, "I want you to fight me."
 Elena was surprised to hear that, and for some reason Bune looked at Vichela and Ray with a little smile on her lips.

"May I ask you the reason?"

 A straightforward Ray asks, looking at Vihela.
 When asked, Vihela has a small smile around her mouth and looks nothing more than her usual Vihela at first glance.
 But... yes, but... You could say that the facial expressions on your face were the same, but the emotions on your face were completely different.
 the light of a maniacal desire for something, rather than a joyful desire for battle that he prefers.
 If they simply wanted to enjoy the battle, Ray would have replied immediately, whether he would accept it or not.
 However, if you look at the emotions in Vichela's eyes now, you can't reply carelessly.

"Why? Isn't it strange to hear that, and you know that Ray likes to fight, right? Is there something wrong with me asking him to fight?"
"...I'm asking because I thought it was strange."
"Vihela?"

 It seems that Elena finally realized that Vihela was acting strangely. Elena calls out suspiciously, but Vihela does not seem to care at all about Elena's appearance, and she simply waits for Ray's answer.
 At this point it was clear that Vihela was already different from usual.
 Until now, there had been a strong man named Elena, but he had never wanted only Ray straight.
 It was as if there were no Elena here, and he just looked at her."

"By any means?"
"Yes, for me. And to convince myself. I'd love to fight you, Ray."

 Magic force is applied to the back of the hand to produce nails. turn the tip of the nail toward Ray
 Vihela is tall for a woman and Ray is small for a man. That being the case, Vichela naturally looked down upon Ray, but for Vichela still felt that the other person in front of her was a cliff-block.

『……』

 the act of looking at each other silently for a few minutes.
 Neither Elena nor Bune could speak out, and even the adventurers guarding the Silwa family, who had been watching around, could do nothing but watch.
 Eventually, Vihela will never back down. And you've found out that you won't back down. Ray nods a little and opens his mouth.

"All right, let's fight."

 As soon as the words are leaked out of Ray's mouth, Elena, who was listening nearby, breathes out and Bune nods silently.
 That's all I've done. But Ray glances impatiently around him, realizing that the adventurers of the nearby Silva family, or even those who have been employed by the Silva family since yesterday, are listening with interest.
 Many of the adventurers who feel the anger contained in their gaze quickly leave, judging that if they stay here, a deadly bad event will happen -- something that is not an injury.
 It's fair to say that no one around here could feel the irritation of Ray's eyes, either because he was employed by the Silva family or because he belonged to the Silva family.
 Confirming that there is no one around him but themselves, Ray turns to Vihela again.

"And when are you going to fight?"
"I'll ask you to do it to-night, if possible,"
"... very sudden again,"

 Ray smiled bitterly when he was told that that day.
 But Vihela continues her words without losing her serious expression.
 glinting up into the sky
 Beyond that gaze, the self-asserting sun shone as ever, and far away from the sun, the blue sky and the white clouds of the entrance claimed the summer season.

"In this weather, I think it will be a good moon-night, and I wish it would be tonight, if possible. -- what do you think?"
"All right, I have no problem. But is night all right?"

 Night and day are naturally too different conditions for fighting. In Ray, who has a huge death-size weapon, and Vihela, who is good at fighting short distances, the timing is especially important.
 However, when it comes to fighting at night, it is naturally difficult to make up time compared to daytime.
 And for Ray and Vihela, who have the best fighting skills, it is not uncommon for them to win or lose.
 But Vihela nods and opens her mouth with a smile at Ray's words.

"Yes, of course. And the hours of night don't just work against me."
「……」

 Vihela's smile, telling me so, seemed to be the same as the one she had until just yesterday, but it was definitely different.

"All right, tonight," where?"
"How about the place where Ray and I danced in the moonlight for the first time? Fortunately, it's pretty big there."

 Vichela's words remind me of the park where Ray fought with his bare hands.
 That place was certainly large enough to fight against, as it was a place where no one could get lost at night.

"All right, then, tonight."
"Yes, tonight. Let's have a wonderful... an unforgettable night."

 Tell them all, and leave them there to walk in a different direction from where the carriage stops.
 Bune also glances at Ray and Elena without saying a word.

"Is it OK? You didn't have to fight against Vihela, did you?"
"That's what I thought at first. ...but the intentions of Vihela's gaze were very different from those of previous invitations to fight. Perhaps there are circumstances to be reckoned with. And somehow we've been helped by Vihela, haven't we? Then it's not bad to go out with her to repay her kindness."

 When you challenge a dungeon, or outside a dungeon, in an exit.
 It's not a bad thing for Ray if he can repay his debt to the extent of fighting, as he eventually got involved in the battle against the Church and the Maaschel family.
 But it was true that he had been helped, and Ray was indebted to him, though there was probably a problem with Bune with the Maaschel family.

"I don't really feel like it,"
"Why?"
"...no, for some reason,"

 Elena masquerades as if she wanted to say something.
 Watching the scene, Ray agonizes over what to do with the time to night.

"I was heading to the dungeon... but I got the magic item I wanted."
"Oh, I was lucky, though unexpectedly, to think that it wasn't always available in the dungeon."

 Since the original purpose was to talk at a distance, there was little need to dive into the dungeon already.
 If there is one, he will get the magic stone... but after thinking that far, Ray remembers that there is a magic stone he hadn't absorbed yet.

(One magical stone from Forest Panther and three magical stones from Kamitachi) Well, there's no point in having more than one. But even if you absorb it, it's a matter of where you do it. There's no set. ...is this a postponement?)Thinking like that, Elena's eyes turn to Ray as he walks next to her.

"What's the matter?"
"No, remember that there was a magical stone to absorb. But considering the time and place, I thought it would be better to stop doing so today."
"Well, now that I've got a pair of oves, I guess I'm going to have to end my holiday.

 Elena has a faint expression of sadness in her eyes in the middle of her words.
 Yes, Elena came to the labyrinthine city of Egzil just to get a pair of obes.
 It was only natural for Elena to return to the Duke of Quelebel after she had obtained the object, given that she had forced Arra to take time off.
 And that also means that Ray's time at Egzil is over.

"After all, it was a fulfilling day after day.

 It hasn't been a month since Ray and Elena came to Egzil. Nevertheless, the days I had spent were fulfilling... or rather rich.

"Well, I've left it to Arra, but I can see that she's drowning in paperwork."
"Like Bosque?"

 I couldn't have been more fitted into that word. A smile comes to Elena's lips in an involuntary manner.
 Ray nods satisfactorily when he sees that the color of sorrow has disappeared from his eyes.
 Walking on, they re-enter the carriage from where they got off when they came to Silwa.

"And have you decided what to do now?"

 Ray nods and opens his mouth to Elena, who asks, looking out at the view.

"Oh, I'm going to replenish my spears."
"Now that you mention it, I used it in the fight against Oriqueur last night. How much is left?"
"As far as we can throw it away, there's not much left."

 Of course, I still have things that I can't throw away, magic items such as thorn spears, or spears I bought because I liked them at the arms store, but I really want to keep them.
 As for throwing spears, disposable spears were the easiest to use.

"Well, then I'll go out with you, too." I'd like to buy something for Arra and her father, too."
"... I'll tell you, I'm going to an arms store, not a souvenir shop."

 When Ray asks confirmingly, Elena nods, taking it for granted.

"But may there be something on the way?"
"I don't deny it, but may I take it as a souvenir for the duke, though Arra would be glad of anything she had received from Elena?"

 Ray told me so, but basically, sweets such as manju and chocolate, which are souvenirs of Ray, did not exist in Egzil before the souvenir.
 Cookies are fairly common, but if you were to say they'd last as souvenirs, you couldn't.

"When it comes to souvenirs from labyrinthine cities, dungeons are the most common. Ray, if you come up with any good ideas, please let me know.
"From Dungeon?" Is it more of a material then?"

 When they talk like that, the carriage stops, and Ray and Elena buy as much souvenir as they say, or stop at arms and blacksmiths to buy as many broken spears as possible, and then go back to the inn, eating and drinking as they did on their way home from Dungeon.
 It looked like a date from the side, but unfortunately it was Ray and Elena who didn't have that consciousness.
 When shopping to the desert hierarchy, Elena was looking forward to dating...
 So I went back home a little early, but I rested for the fight against Vihela... and the night came.





"It's cooler than day when it's nighttime, isn't it?"

 Ray wears a dragon lobe hood while frowning at the temperature that never goes down at night.
 As Vihela said during the day, there was no cloud in the night sky, and only the moonlight was shining brightly.
 Moon rain. A word like that suddenly comes to Ray's mind, but he shakes his head with a small smile when he's not himself.

"What's the matter?"

 Next to Ray is Elena. I also wore the same equipment as I did when I went to dungeons.

"No, it's nothing. Are you sure you'll come?"
"Oh, ... are you bothering me.

 Ray shakes his head in silence to Elena, who asks carelessly and uneasily.

"That's all right. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I don't know why, but I don't want you to make me look down on it."
"I know. Let's keep our hands out."

 Perhaps relieved to hear the words, he moves to the stable and takes Seto and Yero to the streets of the night.
 It was yesterday, today, and there are a few people passing by, but summer nights will still have the effect of enticing people into the streets. a person who heads to a bar or who has already left a bar a brothel, a busy street, and so on
 They keep walking under the gaze of the people... and eventually arrive at the park where Ray and Vichela fought before.

"Have you kept me waiting?"

 Ray calls out to Vihela, who was standing in front of him in the moonlight.
