When I woke up, it was morning. I must have slept through the night.

In front of me lay the sheikdragon I had slain yesterday. Its eyes were peeled open and its mouth was wide open in a horrifying expression.

It is said that the flesh of creatures named "dragon" is delicious. But the thought of Master, Master, Eryl and the others in his stomach is enough to make me not want to eat his meat at all. I put a ward on the sheikdragon and raise the temperature inside it at once. The dragon's body turns bright red and begins to melt. It becomes like a thick magma. The temperature is raised even higher. The temperature inside the ward must have reached several thousand degrees Celsius. After a while, the body of the dragon evaporates and disappears completely.

I look to the sky and silently clasp my hands together.

Now what do we do? First, I head for the Bertham family mansion.

We enter the capital through the north gate. The city walls, which boast iron walls, have been damaged considerably by the rampage of the sheikh's dragon. Not only that, the damage to the houses is also quite severe. Many people are probably injured.

I turn my attention to the eastern area where the noble houses are located. I passed this way yesterday with Eryl. With these thoughts in my mind, I head for the house of the Barthams.

There are no soldiers and no sign of people at all, probably due to yesterday's disturbance. I try to look for any sign of people, but I don't feel anything. There really seems to be no one in this area.

There seems to be almost no damage to the buildings. The streets seem to be the same as usual. However, there is no sign of people at all, so the atmosphere is quite strange.

After walking for a while, we arrived at the house of the Bartham family. The gate was the same as usual, and I felt that if I waited a little longer, the maids would come out to say "Welcome home, Linos".

The gate opened easily. And we enter the house.

A few meters from the entrance, nothing is left. The master's room, the master's room, me and Eryl's room on the second floor, everything is gone. Only the dining room on the right side of the entrance hall and the kitchen next to it remained intact.

I head for the dining room. It was kept tidy and clean as usual, as if it had never been in such a state of mayhem yesterday. It is fortunate that this place is safe. Because this is where the Bartham family keeps their treasures. When I was a slave, Lady Elsa had ordered me to take all of the treasuries out of the treasury if anything should happen to the Barthams or if the Marquis and Lady Elsa were to return home for more than seven days without notice. I decided to carry out my master's last order.

The entrance to the treasury is a fireplace.

Naturally this fireplace will be of great use during the winter when parties are held. Not only does it provide warmth for the many guests, but the roast beef cooked in it is a specialty of the Barthams.

The fireplace has a small glass window set into its side. The glass is so small that you cannot see it if you do not pay close attention, but when you pass magic power through it, the fireplace moves. The beauty of this glass is that it can only be opened by the magic of an authorized person, and it will not open if it detects the presence of an unauthorized person.

I send my magic toward the glass. I was a little nervous because it was my first time to enter the treasury, but the fireplace moved without a sound, and a staircase narrow enough for one person to pass through appeared from under the fireplace.

As soon as we went down the stairs, the entrance was closed. Beyond that is a room, the treasure room. The "light" of the life magic is activated to light up the area. On the door of the treasure room is a carving of a dragon with its mouth open.

"Open the door!" I don't understand."

The sound of the door being unlocked is heard. I carefully open the door.

Inside were two swords and a silver robe.

I put them in the "infinite storage.

I go up the stairs again. On the wall at the top of the stairs is a small shiny glass ball. I pour magic power into it. The fireplace starts working again, and I go back to the dining room.

I go to the kitchen at the back of the dining room. In the kitchen, the dishes are neatly arranged and there is no disorder at all. The food stored in the basement was also in perfect order. I put all the food, dishes, and cooking utensils into the "infinite storage" and left the house.

Although the house is no longer inhabitable, I have put a ward on the house, because it has been my "home" for 8 years. I didn't want anyone to touch it.

I walk toward the west gate. The dragon and the chief dragon have been quite violent, and the damage is extensive. Most of the merchants' area and residential areas have probably been damaged. I thought I would cast a healing spell on the wounded if there were any.

But there was no one in the capital. There was no sign of life at all.

I walked toward the north gate, but there was no one there. After walking for a while, he feels the presence of people outside the north gate. I hurried out of the north gate and headed toward the direction of the signs.

There were about 50 people there. Some of them are injured. Some of them are carrying weapons. They are probably those who took refuge outside the city during yesterday's disturbances. First of all, we must treat the injured.

Is everyone all right? If you're injured, I'll..."

"Whoa!""" Geez!"" Heeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

As I get closer, panic sets in for some reason. Some of the people are frozen in place. All of them are staring at me for some reason. Is there something behind me?

When I turned around, there was only the forest of Lunois as usual.

Suddenly, an arrow falls near me. I turn around to see men pointing their bows at me in a terrible manner.

"Wait a minute!

"Aaaaahhhh! Don't come! Don't come... ！！！！！"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Arrows are shot like crazy. Startled by the sight, I run as fast as I can toward the forest of Lunois.
