　Arri and Roa stood at the entrance like gatekeepers. Both of them held their spears at an angle, blocking the entrance to the building. It seems that they are trying to prevent people from rushing in unintentionally.

"Good evening, Master Rust. Master Kalin is waiting for you. This disturbance was caused by the sudden appearance of light in a building in Ptolemaic without warning, and the residents, startled by the sudden appearance, rushed to ask her for an explanation. Rohr, please take Rust to Karin immediately.

　Ary gives instructions to Loa with a deep smile. Loa opens the door narrowly and urges me to enter. My backpack is still on my back and I manage to get into the room.

　As I close the door, I see Ary, now alone, standing outside the door with his spearhead on the ground. Even from his back, I could feel the pressure of a strong man. He could make the crowd stop with a single glare.

Then you have successfully repaired the magic circle to avoid monsters. That's great! So there's no problem?"

"I'm going to go brief the residents. Rust, you wait here. And Lois, I'm sorry, but please.

"Yes."

　Roa answers shortly. Kalene is in her office with her cronies, talking and clattering out of the room.

"Ms. Kalin. Here is the manuscript. But I memorized it. Upstairs on the terrace, the speech is ready.

　Roa puts his spear back on his back and begins to work in the corner.

　I sit down on an empty sofa and wait for Karin to return.

　Loa puts a cup of tea in front of me as she says this. It seems that he has prepared it for me.

"Thank you, Loa."

"I'm sure he hasn't eaten anything, since he's a Rust master."

"I'll give you some of Roa's. Thanks for fixing the magic circle. It was just in time."

　Roa put some sweets in front of me from what he held in his hands and started to eat the rest.
