Hearing a female voice shouting, he turned his gaze towards it.
It was Lamnites.
「Hurry! The war, is not yet over!」
The ones accompanying her were construction soldiers that were carrying surveying instruments.
Shera tilted her head.
「I wonder what they’re doing?」
「……It’s because if the city gate and the barrier tower aren’t rebuilt, the war can’t be said to be over after all.」
Rem gave an explanation.
Certainly, the current Faltra City is in a dangerous situation.
The Demonic Beings still remained in the west. Maybe they still haven’t accepted that the Great Demon King has vanished, or maybe they were still expecting that there was still a chance.
Even the seven Grand Turtles were still going strong. If those were to advance forward, they would be plenty of a threat.
In order to prevent the invasion, the barrier needed to be put back up.
Diablo asked a question to no one in particular.
「About how many days would be needed to rebuild the tower?」
「……If they were to build it the same as the one that had been destroyed, I think it would take about one or two years. However, I believe that they will most likely build a temporary tower first.」
「Fumu.」
He nodded at Rem’s explanation.
「……For a temporary one, it will take about three days.」
「If the Demonic Beings are to make a move, it will probably be during that time.」
「Yes.」
Gazing at Lamnites who was taking control using a loud voice, Rem spoke.
「……Right now with the Faltra City Feudal Lord injured, having Lord Lamnites who acted as the Feudal Lord in Zircon Tower City that was in former Demon King territory here is reassuring. Normally, she shouldn’t have any right to command the stationed troops here, but this isn’t a situation to be saying something like that.」
「That is true.」
Lamnites, who did not mind the small details and took the initiative to take action, was a welcome capable person for the organization that had fallen into a crisis.
As he gazed at that scene while thinking such things, he suddenly met her gaze.
Closing one eye, Lamnites winked at him.
He remembered.
Before, on the night that he had protected Zircon Tower City from the army of Demonic Beings──she came to the inn uninvited, and then calling it thanks, various things happened.
Diablo involuntarily ended up blushing.
Rem, who was beside him, tilted her head.
「……Is something wrong?」
「Ah, no……it’s nothing.」
Something similar had happened in the Elven country as well, and he was discovered by Rem that time……
She, who got seriously mad about it, ended up not even talking to him for a while.
At that moment, he swore that he would stop going with the flow with that sort of stuff.
Diablo tore his gaze off from Lamnites.
When he looked towards the town──
A girl with bunny ears hopped off a carriage that had come by. She had her red hair cut to shoulder length, and she wore an outfit with excessively little cloth.
She looked like a child with a lot of skin exposure, but she was the Guildmaster that managed the Adventurers of Faltra City──Sylvie.
「Yaーyaー, Diablo-san! Everyone! Good job out there!」
「Sylvie-san, it’s been a whileー.」
With a whole faced smile, Shera waved her hand.
Rem greeted her with a slight bow.
「……」
Krum, Edelgart, and Rose were indifferent.
Sasala courteously lowered her head.
「Nice to meet you. I am the Thirteenth Generation Master Swordsman Graham Sasala.」
「Un, nice to meet you! I am Sylvie.」
*Pekori* She lowered her head.
After exchanging greetings with the others, she once again talked to Diablo.
「You really saved us out there! When the city gate was broken, I thought that we were done for.」
「Umu.」
「Oya? You aren’t asking me why I came to see you for at this point in time.」
「You were at the Magician’s Guild, right?」
Sylvie made a wry smile.
「Yaー, Diablo-san, I really am no match for youー. You’ve seen right through me.」
「When the Demon King army comes to invade Faltra City, the vital point is the barrier that wards off the demonic. As long as that is around, there won’t be a short term defeat for the Races.」
「Mhm, mhm.」
「If we think of it the other way, it would only be natural to think that the Demon King army had some sort of countermeasure for the barrier. When Edelgart came attacking before, a Demonic Being snuck in after enticing a member of the Magician’s Guild. Due to that Demonic Being, ther was an assassination on Celes.」
It ended as an attempt though.
Remembering her past failure, Edelgart frowned a bit.
*Pin* Sylvie put up a finger.
「Being cautious of that, this time, there was a request from the Magician’s Guild for me. They wanted me to protect Celes-san.」
「That is reasonable.」
Both the contents of the request and the personnel selection were appropriate.
「We didn’t think that they would destroy the city gate and the tower with brute strength though.」
Rem asked a question.
「……Is Celes safe?」
「Un. She was frightened to the point of crying when the barrier was broken though. Now, she laughed saying that it’s been twelve years since she was set free from the barrier.」
「……Even though this isn’t a situation to be laughing about. That being said, since Diablo made a display of his overwhelming strength to the Demonic Beings, they probably won’t be attacking all that much.」
「So trueー」
Going “Ahh, also”, Sylvie got to the main point.
「Emil has been taken charge of by the Adventurer’s Guild. Although he has serious wound, since his life has been saved, he’ll be fine. I think he’ll be healed if he has three days to rest.」
Going “Thank goodnessー”, the one that raised a voice of relief was Shera.
「Although I used an HP Recovery Potion on him, I was worried that it wasn’t enough.」
「Shera-chan, thank you. If not for that, I think it would have been impossible for him to survive.」
「Ehehe.」
Rem lowered her voice.
「……What about the others?」
At that question, Sylvie cast her eyes down.
「Nn……Elastov and Glutas, didn’t make it.」
「……Is that so.」
「The soldiers that were at the city gate and the ramparts, and even the Local Knights had quite a lot of people killed in action……you know? Even so, when it was known that a Demon King army of 1000 was coming to invade, starting with Faltra City, the western half of the Lifelia Kingdom territory would turn into scorched earth──that was what was predicted.」
Not just Rem, even Shera and Sasala listened with serious faces.
While making it so that it didn’t show on his face, Diablo did as well.
Sylvie looked directly at his eyes and spoke.
「Diablo-san, you and your group protected us. Thank you. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.」
