the garden at the back of the inn where the rays are staying
　No, as far as the vegetation grows and is completely untouched, it can't be called a garden.
　Should we call it a neglected space?
　Still, it hasn't been long since spring, so there aren't many weeds growing.
　Instead, branches of trees that have been broken under the weight of snow have rolled around them.
　Ray and Magita face each other in a garden that could not be called such a garden.
　A short distance away was the figure of Vihela and Bune, and two merchants.
　Originally, Vichela and Bune did not want to go out with Ray, but this is what happened when Ray told him that he wanted to see his ability in return for being forced to do so.

"Well, I have to fight like this at your own discretion, but don't you think it's troublesome?"
"What? What's bothering you?"
"No, I don't think I have to go out of my way to play the game I'm supposed to win."

　Ray's words that he only told the truth reveal blood vessels on Magita's forehead.

"What? I'm going to lose?"

　A loud voice that the general public would be excited about has no effect on Ray, who has been battling the noise.

"Oh, no matter how I fight, I don't see any element to lose."

　Regardless of the purpose of this provocation, Ray says so naturally without any particular intention.
　You've got it, haven't you? The blood vessels that stood out on Magita's forehead were more distinctive.

"…I see. If I lose, I'll take your orders. Instead, if you lose, you can listen to my orders. Is that all right?"
"Is that OK? Well, I would like to ask you to... or is it convenient to ask you to buy me something to eat?" If that's the case, I won't be reluctant to fight."

　Magita's anger grows even more when Ray tells her that he is already going to win.
　I'm going to beat Ray, so I'll lend my heart to him. There's even such an atmosphere in the air.

"Ah, ha... it's been a long time since I've been made such a fool of. All right, I'll make you bark."

　With a cry of frustration, Magita kicks the ground to close the gap with Ray.
　I was confident in my ability, so I could say that the speed was quite high.
　Being a wolf beast may have influenced this speed. Just...

"Slow".

　In the eyes of Ray, who has fought so many battles, it is obviously only a slow speed.
　Before using the Emperor's red armor, it is not difficult to stop the movement even in the bare circumstances, and you simply play the fist straight up to your face with your right hand.
　The act of playing with one's fist, not with one's fist, has a high pitch around one.
　such a sound as one would not think it was the collision of meat and meat
　Maguita must have expected to be avoided or prevented, but it was unexpected that he would be slapped and played.
　Magita pulls her fist in surprise at the pain she felt in her fist.
　Ray moves forward to match the pull of his fist pull.

"What!"

　No way, Ray stepped forward -- or at the right time when he pulled his fist -- and reached out into a completely unexpected Magita, touching the body of the leather armour, which he was wearing for mobility.

"Huh!"

　With a blow delivered with spirit, Magita blows through the air about three meters, hits her back against a nearby tree, and then crumbles to the ground.

"...not at all right.

　Despite blowing off the magitas, Ray's expression of joy is not on Ray's face.
　No, I even feel frustrated.
　Why do you look frustrated, not proud, when you pretend to blow away someone bigger than you?
　The two merchants looked at Ray in wonder, but the Vihela next to him was different.

"Oh, ... not yet."
"Yes,"

　Vichela smiles amusedly and criticizes the blow, nodding slightly as if she had seen the skill several times since meeting Vichela.
　Rey imitated Vihela's skill set.
　But Ray's blow was not very much, but it was not something you could call a magician.
　Originally, it was a skill of using magic to knock directly into the body, ignoring leather armour, clothes, skin, etc., but what Ray has done now is simply to push with his palm and blow away the opponent.

(No, I think it's great enough to just push and blow away a man much bigger than me.)

　If you can exert that much power by forcefully using only your physical strength, then there's no point in using your hands.
　Vihela thinks that way, but the next moment she sees Magita standing on the ground with a look of surprise.

"He is not a bear or boar beast, but he is very strong."
"Yes,"

　a nodding bune
　This is because Magita, as far as Bune can see, was not Ray's enemy in any rate.
　If Ray had been serious, he would probably have been reaped at one blow.
　The difference in force there is overwhelming, and there is no way to reverse it.
　That being the case, even if Ray had not become a failed work of the magician... he could not have risen to his feet wide open.

"As far as I listened to the customers in the dining room, they said they were looking for someone to fight with in Subursta alone, and I thought there was only a fool who was a little bit strong but got carried away... if he wasn't serious, he would get up with a blow from Ray."

　Vihela is losing a battle with Ray.
　They have also fought through last year's civil war in the Vestian Empire in the same camp.
　That's why I knew full well how good Ray was.
　So it was pure surprise to Vichela that she would stand up with Ray's blow, if not serious.
　Ray then looks at Magita with a look of surprise as well as Vihela.

"I don't think it was a light blow at all. But when it came to getting up, it wasn't just my mouth."
"Oh, heh... I can't lose. I'll never lose! I can't beat anyone like this right now, but I'll never lose!"

　Ray, who is considered to be this kind of partner, smiles small.k.a. small smile.
　I couldn't stand up because I didn't expect him to say anything like that.

(You certainly don't know I'm not famous, but it's a little fresh to see someone standing up like this.)

　Ray's blow is not even a complete shambles... he just blew it away.
　Still, the speed at which it was pushed and the impact of it hitting a tree should have been considerable.

"You can't beat me, can you?" That's all right. It's interesting. I'm getting a little interested in you."

　I don't know what the circumstances are for a man standing up, shaking his legs in front of him.
　Still, Ray was certainly interested.
　It's not known at this point whether it's lucky or unlucky, but there's no doubt it will have some effect on the man.

"How far can you hold out... show me a little more of that."

　Ray muttering as he walks towards Magita.
　The speed is only slow, not the same as Magita showed earlier.
　Still, Magita couldn't take any action in front of Ray approaching her.
　All I can do is look at the other person approaching me.
　Sometimes my legs are shaking and I can't move, and I can't move as if I'm being pressured by something that might have come close to me.

(What? Why can't I move? What's going on? Move, look, move, my feet. He's coming up to me! Move, you f*cking foot!)He scolds his feet, which he doesn't move inside, but he doesn't seem to move at all.
　If you move, you'll die; as if you were thinking, you'd be stuck.
　As Ray approaches such a magazine, he gently reaches out.

"Can't you move?" ...that's it, apparently?"

　Seeing that Magita's body does not move at all, Ray touches her belly wrapped in leather armour, wondering if it was a miscalculation.

"Go to sleep."

　The right hand waving with that word.
　This blow, however, is not as sharp as it used to be.
　He clenched his fist and punched his abdomen over the leather armour.
　The blow swings Magita's internal organs and easily crumbles to the ground.

"Gee, gee, gosh.

　As he spits out his stomach to the ground, Ray has already lost interest in Magita.

"If you want a strong opponent, come to Gilm. That way, there will be a lot of people around you who will be able to defeat you. Well, I'll get up with the first blow, and I'll forget about the orders."

　Tell them that, and leave the magitas on the spot and approach the Vihelas.
　It was the merchant who could be said to have conspired on this matter that looked at it.

"You said you wanted to see my ability, but did you get satisfied with this?"
"... oh, oh,"
"Well, I'm glad you understood me. I'd be glad if you could avoid such a stupid farce as much as possible next time."

　Saying only that, Ray leaves the two merchants there and goes back into the inn.

"It can't be helped," shall we go, then?"
"Yes,"
"... Oh? What's the matter?"

　Vichela, who said she was going back, questioned the two merchants who didn't move from the spot, only came back silent.
　After a few seconds of waiting, I doubt there is any movement, but as long as Magita's fighting spirit appears to be broken, Vihela takes Bune back into the inn, deciding that there will be no particular problem leaving them here and talking to each other.
　and a dozen seconds after Vihela and Bune's disappearance, the surly merchant spoke.

"It was strong,"
"Is it possible that they were actually weak?"
"You don't, do you know what he's doing?"
"No, no, I'm a merchant. I can't give up on the movements of a slightly stronger person."
"That's the case, too. Is it crimson, then? Basically, the more rumors spread, the bigger they get, but in his case, the more gentle they are."
"Yes, but wouldn't it be all right if such a person would stand guard for us.
"... well,"

　The reason I'm muddling my words is probably because I'm concerned about Vihela.
　The amiable merchant was also fond of Vihela, who seemed to have completely cut corners and didn't seem particularly concerned.
　At least I'm not trying to show it up.
　We look at the maggots silently on the ground.
　Maybe I've run out of vomit, but I'm finally settling down to Magita.

"...are you going?"
"Oh, yes," The meal is not over yet. Tomorrow morning is early, too. It would be better to keep a good night's sleep."

　I think it's safe to stay here, but you might get tangled up.
　Given his attitude after meeting Magita, it's no use thinking like that.
　The two merchants decide so and leave.
　It is also true that we were in the middle of a meal, and there is a strong feeling that there is no point in staying here for a long time to heal hunger.
　The two of them were leaving to continue the meal, but they never realized Magita was staring at them as they returned to the inn.

"Well... tomorrow morning... tomorrow morning... I see."

　It's also true that Magita's words are coming out of her mouths.





"Well, it's a very accidental coincidence again.

　That kind of voice echoes through Ray's room in the inn.
　a clear voice that makes you happy just by listening to it
　Yet her voice, with a firm presence, had a slightly more complex color today.
　a voice like a mixture of joy
　The cause of the voice opens its mouth with a smile near Ray.

"Huh, long time no see Elena," I'm glad you look well. Were you worried about Bune?"
"Yes!"

　Vichela sitting near Ray and Vichela sitting on his lap.
　I was happy to be able to communicate with them, especially Bune, but Elena still envies Viehla joining Ray earlier than herself.

'I'm glad that Bune is doing well. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I think I'll be a little late.'
"Really? Well, I'm happy to spend more time with Ray, but... if it doesn't look too late, I'll seduce him.

　Vichela with a glamorous smile that a man would almost certainly look in love with.
　Elena complains about such a Vihela and relaxes on her reunion with Bune after a long time.

"And not only Ray, but Vichela, was attacked by someone who was supposed to be an assassin of the Sacred Light?"
"Yes, I was the one who let him go, and I didn't know what he was." But I decided to go to Gilm with him because it's dangerous to leave it in Egjil."
"...I'm not attacked,"
"It's hard to aim at compared to adventurers and runaway royal families."

　Night passed, talking about the Holy Light and what happened this winter."

"Master! Make me your disciple!"

　The next morning, when Ray was about to leave Subursta, he was approached.
