"... hey hey, what the hell is that?"

The Capitan saw the city from the top of the ship and snapped.

We're all watching the same thing.

We, Rent and Capitan, Diego and the sailor's muzzle rack.

The city harbour looked as usual and idle.

Well, there weren't any more people here than usual, and there were hardly any boats out, but I could see a few fishermen doing some activity and taking care of nets used for fishing.

But nobody is such a fisherman now.

However, the problem is not that, but that other beings are wandering there instead.

It was similar to the Lizard Man we saw in The Labyrinth of the Daughters of the Sea God.

Well, that's exactly what it is.

Wearing armor, I can feel discipline...

Which means, yes.

"When I thought I'd lost sight of the Kelpy Riders on the ocean, I'd end up here."

Muzrak murmured and hit his forehead with a bitter voice as if he was in deep trouble.

I understand how you feel.

In this situation, we should consider the possibility that the entire city has been attacked by lizards, not just the harbour.

There are adventurers, and if this happens, it doesn't seem like this situation will last forever, as it is assumed that reinforcements from other cities have already been called for.

However, it could have lasted for days or weeks.

I can't believe I've been drifting at sea all that time.

Of course I'm worried about the city, but I have a silver exam.

I'd like to go home when I'm finished.

First of all, don't you think you're being frustrating?

Well, that's... it's not my city, and it's subtle to be told that much.

I'd like to do what I can, but I wonder if there's anything I can do.

Considering that, first of all, it is human feelings that want to secure the way to return first.

I just can't do that because I have some thoughts about the city.

To be more precise, not the city itself, but the people I know in this city.

Looking aside, I saw Diego's face staring at the city with a regrettable face.

For him, this city should be an irreplaceable home.

That's why I know exactly how it feels.

I can't be normal if Malt gets attacked.

In fact, when the labyrinth was created, the hurry continued to boil.

Still, I didn't lose myself because I was a good and calm person, but because this monster's body was so emotionally weak, that was all.

And Lorraine, the most important human being, was always safe.

Otherwise, I couldn't behave more disturbingly and calmly.

How about Diego now?

What matters to him is that it feels like a shop and a city, and it doesn't seem like someone else is.

Of course, as far as the shop is concerned, there will be customers, other shops with whom I have a relationship, adventurers, and so on...

Thinking about all that,

"... I'm worried about them anyway."

Diego said so.

Sure, that's what I thought.

Who are they?

That would mean Perusa and the needs.

We don't have many other people in common.

I wouldn't call them that, no matter what.

That's why the customers come to the store.

"It's probably okay, I've been discussing evacuation places and so on beforehand..."

When I say so, Capitan agrees with this.

"I taught them to run away for now.I will value my life above all else.That's why I don't think you need to worry about it.I just can't tell you how far I'm going to be okay.We should meet as soon as we can. "

"That's right... but you can't put it in the harbor, can you?"

When I ask Mazrak that, he looks a little hard after thinking.

"... I can follow it, but the lizards will be here any minute."

"I don't know... what kind of hand..."

I was disappointed when I said that because the answer came back, and Muzrak rubbed his chin, it was still a difficult face,

"... there is a hidden port just outside the city.I can't see it from the land. It's a small cave, so if the lizards don't notice it, we might be able to handle it.... "

"Oh, that's good, isn't it?"

"But it's dangerous, isn't it?We can get to the nearby fishing village without going to this city.It's safer there. "

"That may be true, but the slower we merge with the needs, the less likely they are to survive...."

I've met a lot of people, but now I'm a good fellow.

I don't want to abandon you.

If I had the means, I wanted to use it.

Diego and Capitan.

"That's fine with me."

"Ah, so am I... when it's time to run away.With Mazrak's arms, you can do that, right? "

"You guys...."

Muzrak looked stunned at the suggestion that the three of them were going to the city, but ended up with an angry look.

"I can't help it. I'm a man of the sea too.I can't get off a boat that got on board.Let's go! "

That's what I said.
