Late at night, Ray, sleeping in a given room, suddenly wakes up.
　There was no particular reason. If I had to say anything, I'd say that I had a bad feeling.
　The moon was floating outside the window, and the moonlight was the only source of light in the room.
　Stretch your hand to the bedside to activate the magic item of light, perhaps because it's been only a few hours since you fell asleep.
　If this is an ordinary inn, naturally there is no magic item of light in each room. But this was, as evidenced by Dusker's stay, an inn for nobles and merchants.
　That's why there are magic items of light, not candles, in each room.
　Anyway, when I activate such magic items, the room with only moonlight lights up.
　Wear dragon robes, wear slapnil shoes and wipe your face with a damp cloth to ward off the faintest remaining drowsiness.
　Only then did Ray wake up completely and watch out the window.
　"Fortunately, this inn had a dining room on the first floor and a room on the second floor, just like a regular inn, so there was no problem.

"...nothing wrong with you?"

　at least now bite a word like that to death
　As long as there are disturbing people, as I heard from Dwarube, a member of the Knights of this city... and the murder I felt on my way to the inn. With them in mind, this was a natural development.
　But something I felt when I was sleeping was definitely a harbinger of the uproar. Ray leaves the room, almost convinced.

"Oh... what, Ray?" Don't come out of the blue. But what's the matter in the middle of the night?"

　The knight, who was just about to pass by the room, asks with a look of surprise.
　What the knight is doing is, of course, a patrol.
　Since it is almost certain that something will happen, it is a patrol to detect the signs of the occurrence as soon as possible, or to detect the presence of anyone who has invaded the inn.
　This inn is currently rented by Dusker, so there is no problem at all with the patrols.
　"If this was an inn with other guests, it would have been a little different."
　The knight, who, for the moment, let go of his hand, stretched out into the scabbard of his sword, asked with a sigh of relief.
　But what Ray said was more than the Knight had expected.

"There will probably be an attack before long. Whatever happens, it's better to be able to respond immediately."

　The knight who heard the remark suddenly stopped moving.
　The next moment he opens his mouth, turning a sharp look at Ray instead of the surprise he had been looking at earlier.

"Is there anyone outside?"
"No, I couldn't see it through the window. but this... my intuition as an adventurer is alarming."

　one's hunch as an adventurer Under normal circumstances, it wouldn't be a joke.
　Because the man in front of the knight's eye is less than two years old as an adventurer.
　But if it were Ray, the story would be different. It certainly hasn't been two years since he became an adventurer, but he's risen to the rank B adventurer all at once in that short time.
　He is also the man with the rank A monster Gryphon.
　Knowing it as a member of the Knights of the Count of Larxes, he opens his eyes sharply, without uttering useless words.

"I'll be ready for war immediately. The rest of us will soon wake you up, so Ray will go down to Mr. Dusker."
"All right,"

　After a brief exchange, Ray also leaves the scene after checking the knight's back for a moment.
　Head for a special room at the back of the hotel's second floor.
　Two knights stood guarding the door of the room.
　Noticing one of the knights approaching quickly, he reaches for the sword at his waist... the next moment he finds out that Ray is approaching, and breathes a sigh of relief.
　The other knight, who was about to reach for his sword a little later, also opened his mouth with a sigh of relief.

"What's the matter, Ray?"
"I have a bad feeling," Perhaps something will happen soon. Send it to Mr. Dusker."
"... I see, that's why,"
"Huh?"

　Ray bends his head in spite of the unexpected words the knight uttered.
　When the knight sees it, he opens his mouth holding out for a smile that no high-ranking adventurer can see.

"No, there's a noise in the room. I should have been asleep until just now."
"Yes,"

　Rey exclaims at the words of the knight.
　The first knight to respond to Ray knocks on the door, watching him.

"Mr. Dusker, Ray is here. Something could happen."
"All right, put it in."
"Huh!"

　After a brief exchange, Ray enters the room through the open door of the knight.
　Then he finds Elk, Minn and Rodos in the room and agrees with what the knight said.

(That's right. I wonder how much Elk wouldn't notice that feeling.)

　I know Dusker is quite a good hand, but it is true that he has to stay away from actual warfare as long as he is a lord of the Larkes frontier.
　Of course, it was obvious from his robust body that he did not neglect training, but there was still a big difference between training and actual fighting.
　The reason why Dusker is so well prepared is probably because there was an Elk staying in a room connected to Dusker's room as a bodyguard.

"Ray, are you too?"
"Yes,"

　Ray returns a few words to Dusker's words.

"I don't think it's my misunderstanding,"
"I have been advised about it beforehand."

　Elk nods and Min nods in agreement.

"Well, then the question is when will it happen... in ten minutes and an hour, if you say so soon, it will be very different."
"Well, I understand what Mr. Dusker wants to say, but... perhaps."

　Ray muttered so much to answer Dusker's question. Suddenly the door knocks hard.

"Mr. Dusker, there's a sound of something breaking down from upstairs!"

　This room is well‐insulated, as it is for aristocrats and merchants.
　I guess that's why I couldn't hear the uproar that had caused on the ground floor.

"I didn't expect you to come in such a timely manner. What shall I do, Mr. Dusker?"
"Well..."

　When Ray asks me a question, I think about it for a few seconds once I stop speaking.
　Two of Ray and Elk's biggest players on the scene.
　He looked straight at Ray and opened his mouth.

"Ray, look down with Rodos. If there is any violence, I want you to suppress it."
"With Rodos?"

　Ray looked at Rodos with an expression of surprise because he thought he would be asked to go alone.
　Rodos, looking at her like that, looks a little dissatisfied, but says nothing in particular.
　His silence was due to his understanding of the difference in ability with Ray.For a moment, Ray and Rodos look at each other, and then Ray nods back to see if he is satisfied with something.

"All right. I'll take care of the people on the first floor."
"Oh, I don't think there are knights out there, so there should be no shortage of hands."
"Yes. ... Elk."
"I know," I'll do whatever I can to get something done on my side by side. So you'll have to go upstairs. ...please give me Rodos."
"Well, Rodos is also a Rank C adventurer. I can't do anything about it. Right?"

　The person in question angrily retorts to a question that sounds somewhat teasing.

"Of course! I don't know if it's disturbing or not, but I'll prove to you that I don't have to bother my mother or father!"

　Ray thought Min was the first to say that, but he turned back without saying anything.
　Rodos also follows Ray.

"Well, you don't have to worry, but be careful."
"Ray, Rodos. If possible, it would be helpful if you could catch some of the violent people below. I want to know who is pulling the strings in this case."

　With Elk and Minh's words at their backs, Ray and Rodos leave the room.

"I heard what you said. Hang in there."
"We keep it here, so don't worry about Mr. Dusker... but we don't need it when Elk is there."

　Waving a small smile and a slight wave at the knight, Ray opens his mouth without looking back at Rodos behind him.

"I'm going to run. I don't want to cause much damage to the inn."
"Oh,"

　As soon as I hear Rodos' answer, Ray runs straight down the hall.
　If you run seriously, the corridor will break down, so you're running at a relaxed pace, and that's why Rodos is keeping pace.
　Still, for the average person, it's completely left behind.
　It takes less than ten seconds to get to where the stairs are.
　A certain number of people must have already entered the inn. In front of the counter, knights brought by Dusker were fighting against a crowd of intruders.
　Nevertheless, the battle is one-sided. The invaders, who are waving swords, spears, clubs, or what seems to be agricultural tools, are all prevented by the knights, and fall into the ground after a blow like a counter.
　Invaders...no, just rioters can't do anything about it against the frontier knights with many powerful monsters.
　Still, the rivalry may be due to the large number of rioters.
　If one person faints, his companions immediately pull him out and another comes forward.
　Looking at the rioters and knights fighting like that, I understood why they were so defensive.
　The knights are in front of the stairs, fortifying themselves against going upstairs. ...that is, I can't move from there.

(Where are the other knights... no, I see)

　Quickly looking around on the stairs, Ray is easily convinced.
　I heard the cries of battle not only around the stairs but also from the dining room.

(The knight I met when I left the room informed the knight who was taking a break in the dining room of the matter... hopefully.) I mean, don't you have time to think about it now.)

　After a few seconds of checking the surroundings, Ray reaches for the upstairs railing as he sees a sword strike in the man's torso from the staircase keeper's scabbard.

"Rodos, you are a knight guarding the stairs."
"Oh, Ray!"

　Rodos screams unconsciously to Ray, who easily climbed over the railing while giving instructions.
　The first and second floors are well over five meters high.
　Of course, most ordinary adventurers can jump off without any problems.
　But now it's in the midst of a brawl with countless rioters downstairs. With that in mind, Ray's behavior seemed to me nothing but carelessness.
　However, Ray jumped into the air and started Slapnil's shoes as he fell to the ground floor. It lands on the ground floor with little noise, using a few steps of scaffolding in the air.

"Oh, my God!"

　One of the rioters was momentarily surprised by Ray, who suddenly fell next to him, and the next moment he shook a club in his hand...

"Huh!"

　Shaking a club, he silently thrusts a dagger out of the mistling towards his chinky torso.
　Luckily for the man, he would have found his dagger in a sheath.
　Although it is a cheap dagger used to disperse monsters, the scabbard ends up in the dove of a mobster man and instantly reaps consciousness.
　Most mobs are unaware of Ray, as many mobsters around him are still concentrating on fighting the knights who are guarding the stairs.
　The few who noticed it might have initially judged Ray to be an easy match, but in a moment he saw the mob crumble to the floor and felt a sense of crisis. There was nothing in particular to do.
　The story would have changed again if he had known the person in front of him was crimson, but those who saw Ray walking around the city in the excitement of attacking the inn can hardly recall it.
　Ray looks around, leaving the mob lying on the ground.
　But no one attacks me, and I look up for a moment.
　There was Rodos with an expression of amazement.
　Noticing Ray's gaze being directed at him, he snaps his chin towards the dining room and signals to go quickly.
　Little nodding to Rodos, Ray runs down to the dining room to avoid being seen by the mob.
　...with subtle feelings such as being happy and unhappy when you are small and convenient at times like this.
