《Relief Inn・Twilight Store》
*Garan* The one who was diligently mopping the dining hall that had no customers was the store’s employee, Mei.
It was already noon. Normally, it was a time where it would be bustling with customers.
「Fuu……」
She was a young Pantherian girl whose light brown hair was cut to shoulder length, and she was making a long face
The entrance door was pushed open, and the installed bell rang.
Mei instantly went into a whole faced smile and greeted them.
「Welcome to the Relief Inn -nya~! I am the inn’s idol, Mei-chan☆」
「Ahaha……Sorry.」
The one who came in while making a wry smile was the Adventurer’s Guild Guildmaster Sylvie.
She wore clothes that had excessively little cloth. She looked like a child, but that was because she was a part of a race called Grasswalkers whose physical appearance doesn’t change even after they grow up, and she was actually a veteran Adventurer.
Mei half-closed her eyes.
「What, so it wasn’t a customer.」
「Even though I look like this, I am more or less a Guildmaster after all. I’m going around patrolling to see if there are any abnormalities in the town.」
Mei shrugged her shoulders at Sylvie who seemed like she was making an excuse.
「If you’re looking for Diablo-san and the others, they haven’t come back yet.」
「I seeー」
Occasionally, she would claim that she is patrolling, and come to visit this Relief Inn.
There had been stories that the Magician who was a regular customer here seemed to be outrageously strong. Mei had not seen him in battle, but rumors had flowed in.
She asked a question.
「Is the town, in that much danger?」
「No, that isn’t really the case thoughー」
Sylvie had replied cheerfully, but that made her all the more uneasy.
「You wouldn’t come to see their situation so often if you didn’t need to rely on them……」
「Hahaha……Things really are fine. Faltra City has the barrier that wards away the demonic after all. Let alone the Demonic Beings and the Demonic Beasts, even a Demon King wouldn’t be able to get in.」
Surrounding the Fortress City Faltra, there were splendid stone-built walls.
There were also several stone-built towers, and those acted as barrier amplifying apparatuses. It is said that the barrier itself is made through the magical power of the Chief of the Magician’s Guild, Celestine Bordorel.
As long as Celes stayed within the town, a barrier would generate from the Magician’s Guild’s tower, and would be amplified at the ramparts──Thanks to that, those that were affiliated with the demonic would be unable to enter Faltra City.
Despite knowing that, Mei’s unease didn’t disappear.
「The soldiers are going to fight, right?」
「I don’t know much about what’s going on with the armyー. Faltra City’s stationed troops are something like the Feudal Lord’s private army after all. I think Galford-san is going to decide that.」
「Then, what about the Adventurers?」
「They’re all raring to go. Everyone is going to protect the town, so you can be at ease!」
Going *Muー……*, Mei pouted her lips.
「I have many acquaintances among the Adventurers, so I’m worried about them -nya.」
「Thank you. But, protecting the Races from the Demon King is the duty of Adventurers after all.」
It’s about time for me to head to the next place──saying that, Sylvie turned around.
She pulled the door open.
As if to make sure of something, Sylvie spoke.
「If Diablo-san comes back, tell him to come to the Adventurer’s Guild.」
「I know. But~, I won’t tell him for free, okay -nya?」
「Ehー?」
*Pin*, Mei put up a finger.
「After the Demon King has been driven away, everyone is to come and eat the Relief Inn’s exquisite sausages!」
「……Fufu……I promise. See ya.」
Sylvie left, the door closed, and the inside of the store became quiet once again.
