It is quite refreshing to spend the night outside around the fire with Hippopo. Since I started working at the institute, the only time I have stayed overnight is when I spend all night in the laboratory working on my training.

I don't remember such a relaxing time with a starry sky. Well, no matter how tired I am or how stiff my body is from sleeping on the hard ground, I can recover completely by drinking a stamina potion, which is why I can enjoy the night work.

I think this is the last village before entering the northern frontier. It looks kind of deserted, doesn't it?" I muttered to myself as I looked at the village from the back of Hippopo. Kalin had given me a simple map of the village via the communication device, so I took it out and checked it.
