After watching Fernand's back, Jin said to the group.
"Well, we should gather information on our own. According to what I've just heard, there's quite a rumor going around.
"Yes, that's right. That way, if the man comes with false information, we'll know it immediately.

Zion nodded his head broadly.
（Reiko, just to be safe, have two of the SPs attached to me stick to Fernan and watch for any strange behavior.
(Understood. (Okay. Let's leave it to Pance and Viola.)

Reiko chooses the two smallest ones and instructs them. Now we don't have to worry about being tipped off or being noticed by some strange organization.
First, Jin and the others decide to take a look around the town under the guise of sightseeing.
"......"

"...... dirty."
When they stepped into an alleyway, they found it to be a pile of garbage. Not only food scraps, but also some unidentifiable and unidentifiable garbage, making it hard to find a place to step.

The group turned right and went back the way they came. They decided to walk down the main street.
The grocery store had very little food on the shelves, and the magic tool store did not have a wide selection.
The accessory stores had only a few high-end items.

Is there something wrong with the economy after all?
"Yes. Yes, I think so.
"It's so dirty. Humans are so sloppy.

"...... Just as there are many kinds of demons, there are many kinds of humans. That's all."
As we continued down the street, we came to the central avenue that we had just passed.
"Okay, let's go straight here.

As Jin said this and started walking, suddenly there was a lot of commotion around him. Screams could be heard.
"What is it?"
"Father!"

Reiko stands to protect Jin. Edgar stood in front of Elsa.
Whoa!
It's a runaway carriage!

I look in the direction of the voice and see a small carriage running at a high speed. The driver is nowhere to be seen.
The horse is alone, but it is foaming at the mouth. The carriage is galloping down the central street with the horse in tow.
The people who noticed it rushed to avoid it, but the path of the horse and the carriage was not straight but meandering, and the horse sometimes went toward the direction they thought they had avoided, which was very dangerous.

"Aaah!"
One person was just knocked off. The carriage is coming toward Jin and the others.
Reiko almost jumps out to hold the horse, but decides it is better to stay close to Jin to protect him.

Instead, she secretly releases a spell.

Since the horse was a horse, he fired at the highest possible output, and the horse instantly fainted.

"Whoa!
someone screamed. The horse falls to the ground, and at the same time, the carriage is overturned and slammed into the street.
Then silence falls.

The horse and carriage had come to a stop two meters in front of Jin and the others.
Reiko is the first one to come to her senses.
"Father, are you hurt?"

"Oh, yes. At such a distance...
There's someone hurt.
A middle-aged woman is lying on the ground. I think she was the one who screamed earlier.

...... are you okay?
"Oh, my... my... my leg. ......"
It turns out that her right leg is bent in a strange direction from the shin down. It seems to have been stepped on by a wheel.

"What? Oh, ......."
"It might hurt a little bit."

After applying the painkiller, Elsa twisted the woman's leg. This is a restorative. This will make the healing magic work much better.
"Ah!

Erza applies healing magic immediately after making an approximate recovery. A pale light emanates from her palm and is absorbed into the woman's leg.
"...... healed ...... thank you!"
The fracture healed literally in an instant. The woman bows her head so hard she almost scrapes it on the ground.

"No. I didn't fix you for money. Be careful."

The woman bowed again and again as she walked away.
Elsa's words drew a gasp from those around her.
"Hey ......, it's free ......!"

"I can't believe ...... it!" "Oh, no, he looks ...... like a foreigner, I can understand that.
"I can understand that." "I guess foreigners are so generous."
From such mutterings, it seems that it is very rare for such treatment to be provided free of charge.

Meanwhile, Jin was examining the overturned carriage.
He was surrounded by onlookers, and none of them took any action to move the carriage or to ask what happened to the passengers.
"Oh ......!"

Inside the carriage was an elderly woman. There was no doubt that she was an aristocrat by the way she was dressed.
Jin carried the woman out of the carriage. She was a small woman, so even he, who was not very strong, could manage to carry her. Reiko wanted to help him, but he insisted on doing it himself.
I was afraid to lay him down on the cobblestone ground, so I took off my coat and tried to lay him down,

"Here, father," she said.
Reiko found a blanket in the carriage and laid it on the ground. The old woman laid her down there.
"Reiko, Edgar, bring the carriage back to the side of the road."

"Yes, Father."
"Yes, Master Gin."
I ordered them to do so because I decided that there was no need to show Reiko's skills in a place like this.

Even so, Edgar is a boy and Reiko is a smaller girl. The onlookers' eyes widened when they saw the two lightly pull the wagon.
Just then Elsa returned, and Jin asked her to examine the woman lying on the ground.

Elsa tends to the bruises and scrapes.
"It's all right now."
"Thank you, Elsa."

Then Zion and Lucas came up to them.
（You're very good. (Wow, you're really good at it, aren't you? ) "That's just like the Magecraft Meister and his sister, isn't it?
Sion said impressed. He whispered, as if he was paying attention to her.

"Out of the way, out of the way!

With a clattering sound, six soldiers in light armor arrived.

What is this?
They had seen the crest on the carriage and recognized the noble family.
"Hey, you! What's going on here! Explain!"

One of them, who seemed to be the captain, shouted at Jin in a high-handed manner.
"What? ...... this carriage came running out of control, the horse fell down, the carriage overturned, and this man who was riding in the carriage fell down. And I rescued this man who was riding in it. That's about it."
"Are you sure? I'm not going to take your word for it!

A soldier stares at Jin. But then...
You guys can't be rude! He is telling the truth.
The old woman noticed and said in a dignified voice.
