- Breathless, he runs through a dark maze of stone.

There should be no light source, but the surroundings are well visible, and there should be no one, but there is certainty that someone is chasing us.

Running was' me 'less than ten years old.

Run even, run, keep running.

Turning around the corner, the floor collapsed and the invisible darkness at the bottom was opening its mouth.

I have a feeling someone will catch me up from behind, and I'll keep running around the other corner than I just did.

But it stops at the end of the line.

I looked back in a hurry and there was' me 'at the end of my eyes and nose.

'Me' over there looked just like a young kid, but I just thought he was a monster in the shape of a person as he peered into this one with his eyes open and laughs to the limit.

"Gotcha"

As soon as the other "I" whispered, I woke up from my sleep as if I could pull it up from the bottom of the ocean.

"... what a dream"

Wake up snuggly on the bed, open the rain door and take in the morning sun.

Sometimes I dream about the days I wandered around the labyrinth, but that's a variation of my first experience on a boulder.

I'm not old enough to be afraid of dreams like monstrous talk, but I shut up on boulders for clichés and lack of clapping.

I'm more worried about myself dreaming like that than about the content of my dreams.

Looking up at the sky with that in mind, I realized that the sun was just a little higher than usual.

"Have you overslept a little?

When I left the room in a hurry, Garnett was just getting ready for breakfast.

"Whoa, that was late. That's unusual."

Round bread with a little more smoked meat and slices of cheese, plus some more dried fruit.

It is a menu that offers a glimpse of the garnet's growing environment where bread alone is not easy to do.

"When I read the papers from the Knights of the Silver Wings, I fell asleep completely late."

"Oh, was that the future Green Hollow security plan? Felix-like shit. You're serious."

"I'm sure it's not because of that, but I also have strange dreams, and I'm sorry about today"

"Heh? What dreams?

Sitting across from the dining table for a meal, I dig back into obscure memories to tell them about my dream this morning and make them listen.

Garnett was listening in an attitude of enjoying a suspicious conversation that was not even very scary.

And when I'm done talking, I come up with a face like a prankster.

"You, are you going to be possessed by some strange ghost in the labyrinth or something? Possessed without sound while sleeping... or something."

"Stop it, you can't deny it."

Finish your breakfast with such a joke and get ready to open.

There are three employees officially working at the White Wolf store.

The first of them to come to work was the newest Alexia.

"Good morning, Mr. Luke! What can I help you with?"

"Oh, good morning. Then clean the dust off the merchandise shelves."

Copy that.

In the meantime, I'll bring a small bag full of silver and copper coins out of the safe and keep them in my accounting counter drawer.

When accounting, change comes and goes more intensely, so if you don't have a lot of small currency available, you'll have trouble later.

"By the way, Mr. Luke. Luke and Garnett are the only people who live in this store, right? So they also handle amazing rare metals, and are you okay with security or something?

Alexia has asked me that while cleaning the product shelves.

Alexia has had a shallow day since she started working for us, so she still hasn't figured out what we take for granted.

It is also the job of the store manager to explain it properly at this time.

"The vault that's been missled is a loan from the Royal Palace, and it's been rigged in such a way that it's not easy to take it out. Physically and magically."

"Heh... but you're not a no-guard except for Mithril, are you?"

"Naturally, I think it's not easy to sneak in because the keys are kept robust and Noir is equipped with junctions and magic props."

As soon as I explained that, Alexia stopped working perfectly.

"... when it comes to noir, it's the noir that works in this store, right? Black Wizard and former member of the Brave Party."

"I don't think there's another noir in Green Hollow."

"Can that guy also [make magic props]? Not just [black magic]!?

"Who'd have thought they were making a product amulet or something?

Alexia is absurd in her excitement for some reason.

Regardless of what I didn't know, where the hell were the exciting elements?

"This is what darkness is all about under the lights...... oh a bunch of ideas I was just working out the concept and salting...... it's just a thousand things to be close to a magician......!

Foreword withdrawn. For this guy, there were only exciting elements.

The large crossbow (Scorpion) that I brought in this dispatch seems to be a weapon that moves with purely physical skill, but there were a number of prototype weapons before that that that incorporated demonic props.

But basically, a thing called a magic prop is a substitute for a wizard selling it on a whim to earn money.

It's not necessarily in circulation when you need it, nor is the price as if it's unstable, so when you were partying it was something you often saw disturbing your mind.

Assuming you were able to get along personally with a wizard who could create a magic item, there would be a great chance that you could have the desired magic item or magic trick created.

"Store manager, oh yes"

"... good morning..."

Exactly at that time, Noir and Erica have all been at work from the winning hand.

Before I could turn my words to Alexia, Alexia let her eyes shine and ran to victory.

"Mr. Noir! I need to talk to you for a second. - What?

Shortly afterwards, Garnett grabbed Alexia's collar neck from behind and stopped moving, further grabbing around her waist and throwing it behind her, seemingly.

But the movement of the thrown side as well as the thrown side was light, and Alexia landed without any danger before quickly lowering her head.

"Clean it."

"Yes, I'm sorry"

Immediate, immediate action. And immediate reflection.

Alexia remains the same years after her rookie years.

In the meantime, I've decided to ask Noir, who hasn't swallowed things up, and Erica, who was spreading her arms to shelter them, to help me with my morning work.

- That's how it started, a day when there shouldn't be any philosophy.

But now no one knew that this was the dawn of the last peaceful day in the Demon King's War -
