Episode 159

It happened a week after the festival.

No, it was probably a week after Ray found out, and the behind-the-scenes work had probably been going on since before then.

Ray, who was sleeping in his bed as usual, woke up early in the morning, frowning, to the noise coming from outside.

Ray got up and immediately looked outside through the large window next to the bed to see what was going on.

And there… … .

“Remove Vallière’s Innocent status!”

“Deprive the Innocents who kill people at will or extort money and valuables right now!”

“We can’t stand our tax dollars being spent on innocents like that! Strip it!”

There were images of people protesting to oust him.

Ray saw the scene… … .

“hmm. I did something. “I need to go back to sleep.”

I really naturally went back to bed and started sleeping.

As if he was used to these protests, Ray put the earplugs he had kept in his drawer into his ears and went back under the blanket to sleep.

At that time, someone’s shout in Ray’s head stopped him from trying to sleep.

[ray! Where are you now? Are you sleeping by any chance? If you can hear me, please answer!]

“eww… Umm… Laura?”

[Answer if you can hear me! Because this is a serious situation now!]

“What is the situation?”

Ray asked Laura with dumbfounded eyes, not knowing what was going on, and Laura answered in an urgent voice.

[There are probably people going to your house to protest right now.]

“yes… “It’s already arrived.”

[But why are you so calm?!]

“It felt like something that would happen someday.”

It’s almost questionable why the people have allowed Innocent, who behaves as recklessly as Ray, to this day.

As if enjoying morning tea time, Ray went to the kitchen to get some warm water, then took a sip of the water as he watched the protesters shouting loudly outside the front door of his house.

[you… It seems like you are underestimating the current situation too much… … .]

“yes? “What do you mean?”

[Ugh… Now you are being accused of being the real culprit of the Garion Mansion arson incident!]

“… yes?”

Ray lost his mug.

As a result, hot water poured on Ray’s feet, but Ray was only concentrating on Laura’s words ringing in his head.

“What do you mean? Are you saying I am the culprit of the Garion Mansion arson incident? I said last time… … !”

[I trust you! But there was a witness!]

“A witness?”

‘I’ve never even set foot in the Garion Mansion, so what kind of witness?’

Ray thought so, but then Laura started saying unbelievable things.

[I think someone who was passing by Garion’s mansion at that time saw a man with black hair just like you using a magic sword that disappears after use in the mansion. I explained several times that the man might not be you, but it seems like the people have already decided that it is you!]

“… … .”

‘This is the worst.’

In fact, I already knew that there would be severe backlash against me.

So I didn’t think it would be strange if protests like this occurred at any time.

However, it is unfair for anyone to be criticized for something they did not do.

“Why am I using a magic sword in the first place?”

[therefore! I spoke to White, but he has no choice but to do it now that an investigation order has been issued. therefore… … .]

“yes? An investigation order? “Isn’t that what Laura got off of?”

[Why do I take that down? It probably didn’t come from His Majesty the Emperor himself, so maybe… I think it was decided by the 12th family.]

“Hmm?”

Something is rotten and I feel dizzy.

Ray asked about the family that ordered the investigation, but Laura consistently said that she did not know.

[Of course you don’t know! Even if you ask White, he says it’s an order from above… … .]

“… That guy probably isn’t the type of guy who will just listen to orders from above… … .”

[So, Ray, come to the imperial castle first. There will probably be a lot of protesters on the way, so don’t attack them!]

“ah… “I know, right?”

For now, Ray broke off contact with Laura, quickly got dressed, and left the house.

More people than the number seen inside the mansion were standing holding signs that said, “Ray Vallière must give up his Innocent status!”

We haven’t entered the mansion yet, but once the knights arrive, this house will soon be trampled by people.

Ray clicked his tongue and used stealth magic to squeeze through the people holding the signs.

* * *

As we approached the Imperial Castle of the Islands, there were posters and pieces of paper lying around that said to retrieve the title given to Ray Vallière.

Here and there, Ray’s face and the Garion Mansion adorned the front page of the newspaper.

‘This is crazy… There was no sign of this until yesterday?’

Until just yesterday, I had never seen anything like this, let alone a protest.

But suddenly, a witness appeared last night, and on top of that, there was no way that posters and papers like this could be spread around the entire system in just one day.

In other words, this was probably done ‘by someone intentionally.’

After deciding that, Ray headed to Laura’s office without hesitation.

* * *

It was when he was running through the corridors of the palace, being noticed by people.

“Stand there. Ray Vallière.”

“huh?”

It was none other than White who called Ray and stopped him in the middle of the imperial castle hallway.

Behind him, dozens of knights were glaring at Ray.

In particular, White, unlike usual, was not only wearing platinum-colored armor, but was also carrying a helmet with a white-silver border and a shield with a platinum lion-head emblem stuck in the center.

This is White’s fully armed state.

What does it mean to be fully armed in front of Ray, which is something that is only done when confronting an enemy? … .

“… “I thought you would come here too.”

“… … .”

White blocked Ray’s path as if he had already figured out his movements.

You couldn’t see his face well because it was covered by a helmet, but he probably had cold eyes.

He said, ‘I swear I didn’t cause the arson incident,’ but if a witness comes forward, I’m sure he’ll feel betrayed.

Ray twirled his right shoulder as if to relax, asking if he could do it.

A moment of silence passed between the two.

All of the knights behind White swallowed their saliva and just watched the two facing each other.

The distance between each other is about 30 steps.

Although the two didn’t say much, everyone there could tell.

“”

“As expected, the fighting style is crude.”

White first pulled out the sword he was wearing at his waist and injected magic power into the magic circle engraved on the sword.

, like , is a mediating magic that grants additional effects to the sword you have.

Among these, minimizes the air resistance received by the sword, and if the sword inflicts a wound, the wound cannot be healed with recovery magic for a certain period of time.

This magic is suitable for White, who has excellent swordsmanship skills, and at the same time, it is the only means that allows him to respond to Ray Vallière.

However, his only means was to disable healing magic, so he never once defeated Ray in a one-on-one battle.

However, this time it is not 1:1.

“Everyone, ready for battle.”

“Hey… One to majority. “Aren’t you embarrassed?”

“I thought it would take this much sleep to subdue you.”

“That’s right.”

Ray leisurely turned his wrist.

Then, he raised his left hand and snapped his fingers.

OK… … .

Boom!

The ground of the imperial castle rose like a wave and attacked the knights.

“The last time I hung out with you was a year ago? “I hope you become stronger than a year ago.”

“I’m worried about you.”

White stepped on the rising pillars of the ground and flew up, then slashed his sword at Ray.

But the tip of the sword did not reach Ray.

“Slow down, you bastard~”

Turn once and give White’s helmet a roundhouse kick enhanced with .

With that one attack, White was thrown into the wall of the castle, kicking up dust.

“Aaaah!”

I’ll say it again, this is the Imperial Castle.

Also the hallway.

Naturally, people working in the imperial castle also become caught up in Ray’s attacks.

Ray, who realized this too late, decided to turn his back and retreat.

‘I wonder why I should care about other guys.’

Ray grumbled in his heart and called Laura.

[huh? ray? what’s the matter? Why aren’t you coming?]

“ah… “That’s it.”

[huh? wait for a sec. huh? what? A commotion in the lower level hallway of the Imperial Palace? suddenly?]

Laura’s voice seemed to be receiving a report from someone.

Ray felt guilt in Laura’s voice.

[ray? Sorry for a moment. I heard there was a commotion in the lower level hallway… … .]

“i know. “I’m caught up in it now.”

[Oh, I see… hmm? what?]

“Anyway, Laura, I really don’t. But now I feel like I need to run away? So, shamelessly, let’s ask one more time.”

[what… What?!]

“Laura, please identify the culprit for me. please!”

Lately, it seems like I’ve been asking her nothing but favors.

Ray also seemed to know this, as he was very nervous at the sound of a voice coming from beyond the magic circle.

‘What if I refuse because I’m sick of it?’

This time, I was really worried.

Laura’s answer, heard from beyond the magic circle, began with a sigh.

[ha… How do I do that? Why don’t you just ask White?]

“That White is chasing me now?”

[ha… I can feel what the situation is right now even without looking at it. okay. What are you going to do now?]

“What should I do? First of all, you have to jump like crazy. “I didn’t do anything wrong.”

Ray looked forward again after seeing White and the Templars chasing him from behind.

They too were chasing Ray without using any special magic, probably because they didn’t want to harm the people of the castle.

“first… I think escaping the system might be one way. “The situation looks a bit bad right now, doesn’t it?”

[…] Are you okay?]

“Why are you worrying about something that doesn’t matter? Rather, I ask you to relieve me of my unfairness. “I feel sorry for only asking for favors these days.”

[that… okay! that’s right! Do you know that you ask me too much these days?]

Beyond the magic circle, Laura suddenly became angry and complained to Ray.

“what… Is there anything you want? “I shouldn’t spend money.”

[Oh~ You talk fast? that’s right. There is something I wish for.]

“What is it?”

[During your vacation from work, go on a trip with me. That’s what I hope for.]

“The travel expenses will be paid by Laura, right?”

[I can’t even find a trace of conscience. But it’s good.]
