"Well, we're going to take these robbers in our hands." What would you do with the amount of money sold as slaves?"
"Well, I wonder how long it will take?"

　A guard at Subursta opens his mouth for a moment, fascinated by Vihela's figure.

"I don't know the exact length of time, for I will be negotiating with the merchants. It will probably take a few days."
"...you're in trouble, aren't you?" We are leaving tomorrow."

　Vichela, with a troubled look on her face, moves forward.
　Ray, who had attacked numerous gangs of thieves and sold out surviving thieves as slaves, knew how to get money quickly.

(I feel like I'm a slave trader hunting for slaves at all.)

　I feel that way, but I don't feel guilty at all.
　This is because I have lived my own way and had the power to control others, so I feel that it is only natural for me to do so.

"I think there is a way for the guards to buy slaves for a certain price and sell them to slave traders, but is that impossible?"

　The guard nods to what Ray says.

"You can certainly pay for it right away, but by definition it will be much cheaper, assuming it's sold at the lowest price. "Well, as long as the balance goes into the security, it will be a great help to me."
"Well, what are you going to do?"
"Well... I think it would be better if it were a little cheaper." Is it all right for me to decide?"

　At Ray's words, Vihela looks at the two merchants behind her.
　Since Vihela and Bune were employed by the two men, they had to hear their opinions.
　In the case of a merchant who is attacked by a thief, what to do with the thief depends on the merchant.
　Some merchants who hate thieves say they will kill all the robbers who attack them, and others will sell them off as slaves, as in this case.
　In this case, selling off as a slave would be a moderate response.
　There was a story that in the past, some merchants preached their way as human beings to the robbers who attacked them and released them, but later the robbers who released them caused a lot of damage to other merchants were blamed, and they were beaten as merchants and driven out of the city.
　Furthermore, the merchants who had been expelled went to new villages, towns, and cities, but the information network of the merchants told them that the damage had spread because the merchants had overlooked the robbers, and they could no longer live as merchants.
　They ended up living as farmers, but robbers are like robbing young women and young children of their wealth and food.
　The person who missed such a thief can't get along properly as a farmer, and the crops he raised are bought cheaply, and eventually he dies a tragic death after being avenged by the survivor whose family was killed by the escaped thief.

"Oh, we don't mind," No, it's not that I don't mind, but that's more helpful for me. We still have time for negotiations at Gilm, but it's better to arrive early."
"Well, I'd be glad if you could do so,"

　With permission from two merchants, Vihela finally turns to Ray.
　Ray is still entitled to reward for his participation in the fight, though he was only the last to fight some thieves.
　In particular, Ray nods back without any objections, though he gets a little anxious glances from two merchants who know about the fact that there was nothing good in the hideout, which he heard from the bandits.

"It is enough for me to get nearly ten spears,"
"Yes!"

　Vichela pats her head with a small apology to Bune, who insists on not forgetting herself.

"Oh, I'm sorry," Is that all right with Bune?"
"Huh...huh!"

　After some hesitation, Bune nods back.
　Originally, she was diving into a dungeon to make money, and Bune is fussy about money.
　However, rather than spending a few days here to earn some money, he probably decided that there were other ways to earn more money.
　There is a lot of danger because of the frontier, but you can earn money from it.

"Then I'll ask you to do that,"
"…Oh, yes, please wait a moment." I'll bring you the papers and the bill right away."

　When the guard, who had longed for Vihela, comes to himself, he returns to his post in a hurry.
　In the meantime, the Rays finish the process of getting the other guards into the city.
　There was a bit of a fuss about Seto when he appeared at the gate, but as he was not far from Gilm, he seemed to have a lot of information about Ray and Sett, and he was not alarmed.
　After finishing the procedure, the bandits tied together by ropes are handed over in exchange for money, and the party enters the sub-bruster.

"Ah... is that crimson?" It didn't look so strong on the face of course.
"Oh, but there are a lot of people who can't judge by appearance, especially those based in remote Guilm."

　The guards exchange such words as they see the merchants off.
　This sub-brusta was also somewhat famous for its proximity to the frontier, but as long as Abuero is the closest city to Gilm, it is rare for famous adventurers to base themselves in this city.
　It's not that there's nothing at all, but most of them still go to Gilm... and even if they don't go that far, even if they don't go that far.
　Still, many people stop by Subursta, which is why it's not uncommon for them to meet so-called big names if they're guards here.
　But even the guards, who had such experience, had no idea at first sight of Ray that he was such a presence.
　Without Seto, I might have even felt like a beginner who had just become an adventurer.
　Still, thanks to Gillum's proximity, Ray's gossip is very familiar, and fortunately some of the guards have responded to him when they stopped here before.
　That's why I recognized Ray as Ray.
　though it is too easy to tell who it is when the Gryphon is a slave.

"A lot of people are passing around here in spring. --I hope it doesn't make any strange noise."
"Do you think there's anyone who's got a hand in the adventurer who's subservient to the Gryphon?"
"There you are, now," The troubled child who caused trouble yesterday."
"... ah,"

　After hearing his partner's words, a man passes through the guard's mind.
　Let's look at some of the people who've been making a lot of noise for a while.
　The man is making his already busy days even busier.
　I should have had to remember it first, but I guess it was because of my escape from reality...

"I hope it doesn't end up in a mess.
"Well, sub-brusta is not as big as guillem, but it's big. If the crimson party leaves for Gilm tomorrow, there is a good chance that nothing will happen."

　The guard half prayed, but he could have realized that the prayer was useless if he found out that Ray was loved by the god of disturbance.





"Fight with me!"

　Lays with Gryphon Sett, but fortunately the owner of the inn the merchants always use in Subursta was a little frightened but allowed him to stay with Sett.
　Of course, if Seto, who is a glyphon, gets violent, he will compensate accordingly, and he pays a large amount of money for Seto's food.
　The security deposit could be refunded if Seto did not act violently.
　At any rate, the inn was safely decided, and since it was close to evening, many of them went down to the inn's cafeteria to eat, but naturally, many of them were drinking in the cafeteria before dinner.
　It's natural that such a drunkard finds a beautiful woman who can only be seen as inviting a man like Vihela.
　And when Vihela doesn't deal with the drunkard, she naturally begins to get entangled in Ray.
　At first glance, he looks nothing but a wizard because he's wearing a robe, a child disguised as an adventurer. to a wizard who had no cane.
　If this is Gilm, many people will know the dangers of being involved in Ray. But this is a sub-bruster, not a guillem.
　Or it might have been another story, but Seth is now in the stable.
　The result is Ray's entanglement, and the drunks naturally lose.
　That should have been the end of it.
　Drunken men are not as vicious as Ray and Vihela.
　If you wake up, be ashamed of what you've done and apologize to Ray and Vihela... it may be a little scary, but anyway, you'll end up apologizing.It was unfortunate, however, that the man in the same dining room had watched the whole series of conversations, if not the battle.
　When the man realized at a glance that Ray's ability was out of the ordinary, he came to the table where the Ray's were sitting and told them to fight him first.

「……」

　For the time being, Ray does not answer and checks on the man.
　He's a little short of 2m, and his body is rather thin. However, it doesn't look thin, it just looks like it's a constricted muscle.
　He must be a wolf beast, as far as the ears grow from his head.
　The sharpness of his canine teeth as he spoke to Ray also showed that he was a wolf beast. ...and possibly a beast of a dog.
　He is twenty years old or not, and there is a fierce fighting spirit in his eyes.

"Oh, Magita again, I heard you had a duel before noon.
"I feel sorry for that priest, too... but as far as I can tell, he looks pretty strong, and isn't he? If Magita loses, he'll learn a little."
"What are you thinking of in this way?" It's quite troublesome. If things go on like this, it's going to be noisy and it won't be a place to eat, and if possible, do it somewhere else."

　Listening to the voices at the tables around him, Ray learns that the man in front of him is not the man involved in Vihela, but the one who has been making a lot of noise.

(It's similar to Vihela when it comes to looking for a strong opponent...but in the first place, if you're looking for a strong opponent, you should come to Guilm instead of this sub-brusta.) There are quite a few strong adventurers in Gilm.)

　That's what Ray had to do, but Magita must have been numb to the silent Ray. He reaches out to grab and pull the dragon lobe.
　Of course Ray shouldn't have made him grab the dragon lobe in such a situation, but he reaches out and grabs Magita's arm.

"What do you mean?"
"So I told you to fight me, right?
"What good is it for me to do that?"
"Do you know that?" I'm telling you to fight because I want to fight. You're pretty strong, aren't you? Don't you want to show it to others and immerse yourself in superiority?"
"I don't think so," I only have to know my strength, and I just have to let my opponent know."

　Rey reaches for an oak skewer and says, but Magita hits the table as if she had been waiting.

"That's why I'm saying it's me. Fight me. If you don't fight, I'll touch you."
"... even if I say I'll touch you."

　Vichela and Bune looked at the skewers as they gnawed.
　There are two merchants, but it is obvious that they are merchants and not combat-oriented people.
　That's why Magita couldn't give up the possibility of touching the two to anger Ray.
　In Vihela's case, it seemed to Ray that he would be able to beat Magita without any problems, and Bune thought it was possible to beat Magita even if it was impossible.

"Well, why don't you fight?"

　A voice suddenly heard was one of the merchants. a man with a surly nature

"We've heard of you, too," But I've only seen the fight against thieves. If possible, I want them to show their abilities properly."
"I'm not officially employed as a bodyguard, though we're acting together?"

　Even so, at this rate, I can imagine a future in which Magita will endlessly entangle myself.
　In that case, it is better to show the difference in ability here, and ultimately, you decide that it will save you time and effort, so you will eventually get out of the chair you were sitting on.

"I see. I think there was a little bit of a garden behind this inn. Will you go there?"
"Oh? Are you finally ready to do that?" All right, let's go."

　Magita smiled happily at Ray's words.
