"The Dragons are here!?

"Oh, oh... you didn't know?

While we're on the move...!

"Gi, what happened to Greece!? When is that!?

"Oh, calm down! It was about ten days ago... the Dragons attacked me all at once and I hardly had the skill to exchange it. Greece is already ruled by the Dragon Clan and no one else is left..."

Oh, no...!

"Does that... mean they've all been hit?

"Oh, no, it seems the majority of the people have escaped. Thanks to the Greek coalition and the adventurers for their time. However, information magazines are almost devastated..."

Nature and tears abounded.

I don't know what to do.

I couldn't help but be anxious.

When Mr. Lord is... when Mr. Lord is gone...

"Tier"

That's when Asna held me tight.

"All we can do... is believe. I'm sure... I'm sure he'll be fine."

A, Asna......

"Oh, yeah... it's okay, isn't it?

"It's okay...... I'm sure"

"Yeah......!

That's right.

Not if you're crying.

We have to do what we can...

"... you knew someone?

"Yes… our benefactor was just staying in Greece"

"Well... I hope you're okay... hey, man. Do you still have that information magazine?

"Oh, I do. I've already read it, so I don't mind if you take it. Wait a minute."

"Bad"

My uncle at the stables gave me an information magazine and we read the article so that we could eat in on the spot.

Of course, there was no such thing as Mr. Lord's cheap or not, just speculation about how Greece was defeated, what is happening now, and how the world is going to move.

"The Greek king...! Damn... Nevertheless, I didn't expect to be here so soon..."

"Mr. Berg...... what happens now?

"I don't know exactly either...... but I wouldn't be able to leave Greece like this. Besides, if we don't hit our hands soon, we're going to have a second and third Greece... probably a war. Surviving Greek and Armenian troops, then Celtic, around Nieberg, would join. Earthheim and Woodgard won't be other HRs either, and then Olympus, but if the Fool King moves... it might be possible to lend a hand conditionally... but it would be the most realistic line to form a crusade in those countries and board Greece anyway"

"Another war... how could..."

"... maybe a recoil with a long time of peace. But too much is happening. So much so that I can feel some intention. Anyway, we need to hurry..."

... hurry?

What does looking for Mr. Skirk have to do with the world...?

"I'll keep going, but what do you guys do? If you want to make sure your benefactor is safe..."

"Yeah... we're coming too"

"We decided to do what we could. So we keep moving forward."

Worried about Mr. Lord...... very worried.

But what we need to do now is not make sure Mr. Lord's okay.

Cheryl must have something.

If you can reach it... you have to make sure of that.

"... well. Then we're going to continue the party. Hey, is there anywhere I can borrow a telecommunications demon stone? It's a long distance one. I've been trying to get in touch with someone I know, but I brought him a short distance by mistake."

We also had communications demon stones, but we didn't have a lot of money, so it was for a cheap short distance.

Plus, I bought it at Focken, so only three of them are registered right now.

"Oh, we want to contact our hometown, too."

"Then it's the Adventurer's Guild. However, the guild is in the center of town, and there is a lodge near it where Rare Row sleeps… I use that communications demon stone to communicate with their home country."

"Chip... I hope this isn't a hassle..."

"If you let him grab some money, he might go easy on you, but be careful anyway. Oh, no, you haven't decided on a sleepover or anything yet, have you? I can introduce you to the inn that I know. It's far from the town centre, and it's a small but nice place to stay."

"Oh, there is. Please."

"I'll get back to you. When you get to the inn, tell me it's Broy's introduction. I'm going to draw a map right now. Wait."

"Helpful"

A little while later, I received a map I could make from Mr. Broy.

It doesn't seem that far from the entrance, and it's helpful that I saved you the trouble of finding an inn.

I'm glad he's a good man.

"Thank you for everything. Carriage and Atrion, please."

"Regards"

"Please!

"Whoa! Leave it to me!

"Oh, one last thing. Didn't a guy named Skirk come to this town? And so is a girl named Cheryl. We're looking for those two..."

"What's a scark... no way is that?

Oh, I knew I was a celebrity.

That's right.

One of the golden generations.

"Yes, that skirk."

"... no, you haven't seen it. I'll know just fine when I get here. I've never even heard of Cheryl."

"Well... I'll be back to pack. You interrupted."

After the stables, we walk out to Frost's entrance.

The cold wind that blew again slammed my body hard.

Now it's cold.

It's just cold.

But we have to move on.

Believe me, doing what I can now will surely lead to something.

"You don't have a watch..."

There was no guard at the entrance to the town of Frost that would normally have stood.

And the road inside the town you can see from there leaves the accumulated snow intact and clean.

It was obvious that no one was walking in town.

"Nobody's really walking out on you."

"But I can't believe there's no watching... weird, right?

"Oh. There must have been soldiers from another country originally, but apparently you took over from Rare's. So I guess this guy's not just going to inspect, they're going to stay here forever. You mean you didn't say anything to the people in town... this is a pain in the ass"

"What do you mean?

"I don't need to tell you... that's what I'm thinking. The Frost people are under us, and we don't need to ask. What's more, he was sent to the north end and was completely unmotivated. So drinking, eating delicious food, hands on women... that's how they dissipate irritation. Then the guy who leads the team isn't a dick either..."

"So, isn't that what some of the soldiers are doing on their own, that's what the whole squad is all about?

"Probably. And if that's the case, there's no way to stop it."

"Even if I told Rae's home country, there's no way he'd listen to me..."

"That's what happened. Well, suppose we go to the inn anyway? So, buy what you need, anticipate the timing and go to the guild. So that you can get away with anything right away. Is that all right? Leader."

"Nor..."

Mr. Berg looks at Asna laughing nicely.

Asuna sighed in dismay, staring at Mr. Berg with a tight eye.

"Until Mr. Berg...... that's enough"

"Pfft! You've forgiven the leader!

"Ouch! Now you can move without worrying. Let's go."
