Mnotia's Den

 "Then, we ask for your continued support for our company." With those words, the president of the company managed to leave the room somehow. Whether it was the flowery language or the pompous words he used, I completely forgot his name as soon as I heard it. Looking outside, dusk had already fallen. Since Serianna returned from the academy today, guests have been pouring in to congratulate her, and now, it seems like we've finally reached the end of it all. "There were quite a lot of guests today." "Yes, indeed. But it seems the noteworthy ones are done for today. Tomorrow should be back to normal without any scheduled events." "I see... Well, that's good." Originally, Serianna was a candidate for engagement, and being of the same age and attending the academy in the capital, it was the perfect timing. For those who were close to us, it was a predictable turn of events, so they acted promptly. And those who couldn't move quickly enou...

 Last night, Seriana's report continued for a while, and as soon as the conversation ended, Villa of the Guard left. I somehow remembered up to that point, but before I knew it, I was sleeping in the bed at the Hideout. I had changed into my nightclothes, somehow activated the Hideout, and Seriana or Elena must have joined me, doing it for me. However, perhaps because things felt different than usual, I woke up earlier than usual. So, since I woke up earlier than usual, it wouldn't hurt to take a nap again, and although I had been neglecting it lately, I headed to the dungeon.

I only got one sacred coin, but it was still a good haul. "Hey, Miss Sera." With a pleased expression, I waited to cash in the relics, and someone called out to me. The owner of the voice was an important old man ...

 "It seems like it's about time to come back," he said. The night was deepening, and having finished dinner, I took a bath as well. As I was about to go to bed, there was some commotion downstairs. They must have arrived as anticipated. I activated Akame's eyes and leaned out of the window towards the direction of the castle. Through obstacles like trees and walls, I could make out a group being led by horseback slowly approaching. "Hm?" "What's wrong?" Noticing a difference in their numbers and procession, I activated [Fairy Eyes] just to be sure, and indeed, there were several individuals unusually strong. Stronger than Elena? Perhaps a bit. "There are some strong ones. Are they from the knight order?" "Probably. And there should be the royal guard as well. They're said to be accompanying the female royalty, so the young lady might receive similar treatment." "I see." The female knight who accompanied me to t...
