After the battle with the Countess of Astraeus was over, a victory celebration was held in Bellesdral.
　Since the victory ended without any serious injuries, the party ended in a joyful atmosphere from start to finish.

　The next day, early in the morning, in front of the south gate of the Belesdral.

"Mr. Bellums, I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.

　Riza bowed to Bellamus.

That's okay. We worked it out in the end.

　Bellamus replied.
　He was in some trouble, but no one had been harmed, so he didn't have any resentful feelings.

"Hey, Riza, are you sure you're not going away?

　Delarosa, who was here, looked a little sad.

　Riza wasn't going to stay at Bellesdral.
　It wasn't because Bellamus and the others wouldn't let her stay.
　She had her own reasons.
　And that reason was.

"I have betrayed the Lord. I have betrayed the Lord and I am not fit to serve him or live in this city.

　I had that idea.

I don't know. Would you like to live with me?

　Delarosa didn't quite understand what she was saying.

"What are you going to do now?

　Bellamus asked.
　Riza thought about it for a moment.

I haven't decided what I want to do, but I'll try to find something to do with my life that will make the world a better place.
...... Yeah. Well, good luck with that.

　With that, Riza left the Belesdral.



　.



This town has come a long way.

　Beramus thought with deep emotion as he looked out over the city.

　I'm going to compare it to when I first came here.

　The old ramshackle wooden houses have been replaced with sturdy stone houses and the food situation has improved. More people are living here and the clothes they wear are better. They are safer now that the walls have been built and they are more capable of fighting.

　It's a far cry from when I first arrived.

(But I wouldn't say we're really richer yet: ......)

　Belamus thought the town would still be rich.

　The city has not yet reached the heights he envisioned when he first set out to enrich the goblins.

　The city is still lacking in many ways.

　First, there is a lack of entertainment.
　The necessities of life have increased, but there was not enough entertainment.

　And the fact that they can't get out of town so easily is a bit of a hindrance.
　Even after all this time, the fact that the town was located in a place called Furazes Forest was starting to feel like a negative thing.

　Belamus wanted to be as close to the human town he had lived in in his previous life as possible.

　There are problems that come with the growth of a town. But even so, he believed that an enriched life was a good thing.

　He begins to make concrete plans of what he will do.

(As I said, we have a lot of things we can't do with just what we have in this town to entertain us. It's not possible for me to create everything...... It's not efficient for me to gather supplies from the human town by myself, and I don't want to leave town for too long in the first place. (I wish we could make a trade.)

　Trade with humans is not possible at this time.
　But there are other civilizations that have flourished in this world. Elves and dwarves.

　Belamus believed that elves and dwarves had little ill will towards goblins and other Fuller's Forest monsters.

　This was because the demons of the Great Forest rarely appeared where they lived.
　Dwarves basically lived underground and would never have seen a demon that lived above ground.
　Legion ants could have been seen before.
　But Legion ants are rare, and Legion ants as large as Medina are not common, so it's unclear how they are viewed.

　The elves live far to the east of the Great Forest, where there are very few demons.

　Elves are unlikely to have had much contact with demons, so they are unlikely to feel ill feelings.
　It seems to me that elves avoid interference from the outside world.
　In fact, they are curious about what's out there.

　What they were like in modern times, I do not know.

　I am thinking of trading with the dwarves or the elves.

　The dwarves live just north of here, which is a bit tricky.
　This Beresdral lies to the south of the Great Forest of Furazes.
　And the farther you go in the center of the Great Forest, the more powerful the demons become.

　If you want to take a straight line, you'll have to go through the center as far as you can, and then you'll have to go around, but that's a long way.

　This is where, Bellamus thought, he would like to trade with the elves.

　But there is a lot of work to do.
　First we need to make a road and also find and capture a monster to tame for riding.
　But first I need to ask the elves if we will actually be able to trade with them.

　First, Beramus decided to make a road.
　He knew that he wanted to make a pathway out of the forest so that he could get to safety anyway.

　He jumped into action.
