After driving off the goblin army, we had gathered in the mansion. We were able to get rid of the goblins, but it was because we had created a lot of other problems.

'Is everyone safe?'

　Alexia checks in with Kate and the others gathered in the hall. Kate and Elea have a few cuts. So do Alexia and Aeris. The soldiers have about 40 dead, and the others have wounds in places. I was wearing a body armor, so I was able to heal quickly.

　Even with three quarters of my territory destroyed, with only about forty dead, I was able to drive away nearly three thousand demons. It's probably a joyful thing since there weren't many casualties in terms of battle results, but even though they did it themselves, it still hurts to see their territory destroyed.

''I know it's sad that our people died, but we still have work to do.

　Saying that, Alexia gives one instruction after another. I'm a sad habit myself, but I'm overwhelmed. Of the 50 surviving soldiers, about 10 of them called back the lords.

　The remaining 40 and Aeris, Kate and Elea check to see if the goblins have been missed. There might be some of them left without retreating.

　Me and Alexia will check the entrance, where there was less damage. I'm not sure if it's because of the fact that the house is in shambles, but because there are dead goblins everywhere, the place where we released our magic is not immediately inhabitable after returning.

　The only thing we can do about this is to work with the returning territorial residents to clean it up. It should start as early as this evening or tomorrow morning. It's still the end of summer. Soon the bodies will be rotting and spreading disease. This is our first priority.

　The entrance side was still mostly undamaged, so this area will be a temporary home for the territorial residents. It's likely to be a bit of a problem with the people who originally lived here, but we'll have to be good at that. There are some dead bodies lying around outside the entrance, but we'll have to clean that up too.

　Then there's the matter of food. Since we blew up the house, all the food in the house is gone. We can handle the water because of our water magic, but there's nothing we can do about the food.

　The only things left would be the foodstuffs in the larder of the baron's house and the houses and shops of the lords on the entrance side, where there was less damage. I glance at the goblins lying around. ........a last resort. We can't turn our backs on them, but we have to figure out another way as much as possible.

　In this way, it has been an hour. I walk around the territory, occasionally stabbing the still-breathing goblins with a thud. Then, the gate of the one the lords took refuge in becomes noisy. It seems that the lords have returned. Me and Alexia look at each other and nod and head towards the gate.

　When we reach the gate, something is wrong. Entering the gate is a bit of an open area, and there is a crowd of people there.

　It would be fine if they were just gathering together normally, but they are in a circle as if they were surrounding someone. And all you can hear are voices shouting and cursing at someone. The soldiers and Aeris try to stop them, but there are that many of them. It doesn't make sense.

'It's your clan's fault!　You bastard!

'Yes!　They messed up my house, too!

No, no, please!　Your mother is sick........ouch!

　A woman's voice can be heard mixed in with the shouting around her. Are they surrounding the women?　I'm thinking about that.

Stop it, all of you!

　Alexia walks into the circle. Alexia's interesting voice echoes and the lords look at Alexia. Alexia doesn't care about that and zips forward. I follow behind her.

　When I cut through the crowd to the center of the matter, there are men with wooden sticks and stones, and a woman who is covered by a woman who is falling, as if to protect the woman who is falling.

　It is not clear if the woman who is covered up was hit by the men or hit by a stone, but blood is flowing from her forehead.

　Her age must be close to Alexia and the others. Normally, she would have a calm and gentle atmosphere and such a face, but now she is looking at the men sadly.

''What the hell are you!　If you don't give a shit, then you need to back off!

I'm here because it's relevant!

　When Alexia says that, the men look dubious. Well, they wouldn't know if they were suddenly told they were related.

'My name is Alexia Nanor,'

　Even if they didn't know what Alexia looked like, they probably knew the name of the country's princess, even if they didn't know the name of the country's princess. The men had faces of surprise, and their complexion was gradually turning blue. Their sweat was also dripping, and they were starting to feel a little cute.

'Shh, excuse me!　I didn't know you were the Princess!

　Then a man kneels and bows his head. With that, the men who were shouting around him kneel too. In the royal capital, Alexia is walking around the city, so I didn't think much of it because most people treat her like a friend, but when I see a scene like this, she's a princess after all.

　When I was thinking that, for some reason, Alexia is looking at me blankly.

''Didn't you think of something strange?''

　I hastily shake my head. Over my head, Ekra says, "Cui! I sound surprised, but that's not the point now. Because Alexia is giving off a weird, intimidating look.

'Oh well. So what have you guys been up to?

　Alexia asks the men. The men break out in a cold sweat as they speak.

'Duh, it's the Baron's fault!　The soldier told me on the way out that if the Baron had taken care of the demons properly, this wouldn't have happened!　Besides, you left us in the middle of nowhere!

　The man who glares at the woman with a snap. That means this woman is a baroness and her daughter is at her side.

I understand that you think so. But it's not right to blame the lady.

　Indeed. The men fall silent at Alexia's words. Maybe they know that too. But in a situation like this, and on top of that, the person in charge has already disappeared. He didn't have anyone to express his frustration to, so he took his frustration out on the wife and her daughter, who were the closest to him.

　I don't understand the feeling, but I don't think it's a good idea to take it out on a sick person, indeed. I agree, but some of the men around me look at the ladies with hatred.

　Those eyes frighten the women, and they are trembling. 　Worried, I'm close to the ladies' bottom. The women freak out at this and look up at me.

'Hey, what the hell are you?'

　The men will ask me if I care about them too, but I'll ignore them for now. 'Mrs. Claus first.

'Sister. May I check on your wife?

'What?　Your mother's condition?

　The woman who says that and looks underneath Mrs. Smith's face. A woman who stares at my face, as if she's not comfortable with leaving her mother with a stranger. There.

Ray will be fine.

　Alexia smiles behind me and says to me. The woman thinks it's okay if Alexia says so, too, and she tries to lay down Mrs. Watson while being wary of her surroundings. Oops, let's put a cloth down so it doesn't get dirty.

　The woman is surprised that I took the cloth out of the middle of nowhere and laid it down, but she puts her lady down. Yes, I can say that this woman is similar enough that when she grows up, she will be like this Mrs.

　But her normally calm and gentle face is contorted with pain, whether it's suffering or pain, I can't tell. Her body is also thin and slender, and she looks in bad shape.

'Sister. How long has your wife been in this state?

'My mom has always been a person who wasn't very fit and didn't go out much, but about the year before last, she got very sick very rapidly and now she can't even walk by herself.

　The woman who says that and has tears in her eyes. The men around her look away awkwardly at this sight. I ignore that too and look at Mrs.

...this.

　...How did you get this stuff?　I was too surprised to shut up.
