Morning.
　I woke up before it was light, and then I looked for Gon and the others to take over the guards... but they were both resting.

　When I looked, I saw that the number of guards had decreased considerably.
　Likewise, I called out to the adventurer who was on guard.

''The number of guards is decreasing, has the situation changed?''
Yeah. As a result of the investigation, they didn't find any suspicious magical stones. I'm sure the knights who went to the site also killed the horn dragons. And that's why the alert was lifted.
...I see.

　That would give me some relief.
　Now if we could only find out how in the world that labyrinthine crystal was located in such a place, everything would be solved.

　Did it occur for some natural reason?
　Or did someone set it up intentionally?

　We'll just have to find out what happened next.

"Looks like the knights in here are chomping at the bit.
'Oh, really?'
Yeah. It seems that the brave man was ordered to return first. I heard he'd already gone home a short time ago.
'My hero?　Oh, you had someone like that here?
Yeah, that's what I heard. I didn't see her. I heard she was cute.
Yeah.

　Suddenly, I pictured Benny in my brain.
　That boy was a pretty boy, and his clothes were different from the other knights.
　Could it be that she was a brave girl?

　They hadn't talked in any depth, so I didn't know the details of her situation.
　........If he was a brave man, he could have asked her about Lynn.
　It was a shame.

　He seemed to be doing well in the letter, but I don't know if he's actually doing well.
　We're the same brave men, and you might have known a lot of things.
　I took the place of the other guards and went on the alert for the demons.

　That evening.
　My work was also taken off for the time being and there was nothing to do until the evening.
　The next step was to do a little nighttime vigilance, but that would only be for about three hours at most.
　I was still on guard, but I hadn't seen any engagement with demons all day.

　I was walking around the city.
　It was to meet up with Krua-san.
　She said she was in the town square, and she was on her way there now.

''Ah, Krua-san.''
Mr. Relius. Are the adventurers okay?

　I found Krua who was just loading and unloading the goods.

'Yes. There are no more demons in sight, so things have calmed down now. Did you bring this item with you on the first day?
Yes, sir. It's a good idea to make sure that you have a good time. That's what I was selling.

　Sure, before we parted ways, I had a lot of stuff ready to go.

Is there anything you'd like to add?
''........Yes. It seems that the stock of potions is running low, may I ask you for help?
Sure. I'll have it fabricated in the back of a carriage.
Please.

　If there were this many adventurers, everyone would be buying potions.
　And if potions were running low, it would be harder for the public to reach them.
　It's useful to have a few potions at home, because it's useful in case of an emergency.

　Aside from cuts, potions can also be used against burns and other wounds.
　If those wounds are not treated promptly, they will be left behind.
　I made the potions that Krua told me to make, 300 in total, and put them all in a box.

　Then I got off the truck and went back to Krua-san.

"I've made the designated number of potions for you.
It's a really, really amazing ability.
I've been feeling the effects of that a lot lately.

　I'm aware that I have the universal ability to create anything.

''Come to think of it, Krua-san, where is the theater company active now?
''Well........I heard that the lord of this city has prepared a lodge for them, so I think they are there.　During the day they perform in the square and with the evacuees, but at night they perform at the lord's residence.
...I see. Well then, I'm indeed not allowed to do that.

　I was going to go check on Ristina-san, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

'Are you going to see Ristina-san?
'Well, she's my junior, for one thing. I just wanted to see if things were going well.
''In that case.......how about we go and have a little look when we deliver this one's cargo to the lord's residence?''

　Krua-san brought a single box from the back of the cart.
　Inside the box were various accessories.
　In it were various accessories, some of which I had fabricated. When I asked him what they were for, I thought he told me that they were to be given to the lord or something.

Are you sure it's okay if I carry it?
'That's fine. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. If you take this one, it should be fine.

　Mr. Krua took out a sheet of paper.
　It was marked with the lord's signature.
　Glancing at it, the paper looked like a large piece of paper cut in half.

''When you show this to the gatekeeper, just give him my name and he will let you pass it inside.
"...Okay, I understand. Thank you.
No, this is not necessary. I'm the one who's delivering the goods.

　Krua-san quickly bowed his head.
　If it's the Arsus family, the lord of this place, they might let me through if I tell them.
　Even so, it would still be better to do it the regular way.

　I lifted the box and then started walking towards the lord's residence.
