Mnotia's Den

 "Isn't that Lady Sera?" As I casually joined in on Zighardt and the others' conversation while looking around, I noticed an older man approaching from the back. "Was it Zack? It's been a while. How have you been?" "Who is it? Zack, is this someone you know?" "Yeah. When I was in the capital, one of our young ones mistook him for a monster in the dungeon and attacked him..." A nearby older man asked, and Zack explained with a laugh, though it wasn't really a laughing matter. There are a lot of old men here... Well, it makes sense since experienced veterans gather here to earn money. Zack. He's the leader of the clan "Fangs of Ragiora," which Seriana pulled out from the capital's guild. I heard they were doing defense work for a pioneering village around here... "It's been a while. Everyone's doing well.

 A few days had passed since the end of the rainy season. Now, I'm investigating the state of the town. I'm checking to see if the waterways are overflowing, if the houses are severely damaged, if anything has collapsed... basically, if there's any abnormality. Starting from the easily accessible areas, I'm inspecting the waterways that run along the inside of the town walls.

And, with the garbage accumulating, they tend to get clogged and overflow. Well, I suppose that's inevitable when you build a town seriously. Both Alek's reports and my own experiences confirm that. And the rainfall over the past two weeks has been almost typical. However, as I circled th...

 Having finished patrolling the attic of the south wing, I moved on to the main building, which houses Liesel's room. It seems you can come up from the office on the second floor. There's a sturdy wall, a door, and even a window with a transparent pane. You can tell at a glance, but is it really okay like that? "...That's the place, right?" "Yes. Unlike the other side, there are guards permanently stationed here, so it's fine." "Huh... oh?" Even though we floated noiselessly, the soldier inside, hearing the conversation, rushed out. "Lady Seriana. Is something the matter?" "I'm inspecting the mansion. Don't worry about it. Return to your post." "...Understood. Excuse me." Though he seemed somewhat unsatisfied, he quietly returned. Well, if someone suddenly appeared with a child on their lap, you'd wonder what they were doing here, right? It was a bit of a surprise, but that was the only issue. Like ...
