At sundown, lights lit the stables on the outskirts of the capital, Arctils.
A magical crystal lamp, installed so that it can be hung on a standing tree as a street lamp, emits one light after another, pale yellow light.
That's consideration for the dozens of carriages parked and travellers who light up beneath their feet. Right beside the carriage, caravans and horse owners who have spared the cost of staying at the inn are lighting their respective lamps and starting a whispering feast.
There's laughter everywhere, talking about what happened today.
Even beside one carriage, two men had a whispering feast as they surrounded the fire.
One is a middle-aged man with a beard, the other is a young but strong man.
Grill the broiled dried meat and simmer the ale.
"... pu. I just listened to that creepy light I saw in the evening. I hear some crazy witch broke out in the square."
"That's what Ola heard, too! The guards were in a pretty big hurry, and the weirdos responded and said they were busted."
"Oh, that's not all. Even in the woods on the other side of here, I say that Hayashi has stormed out... and it sucked when they told me to get ready for evacuation..."
"We stopped by at a pretty dangerous time... Products, they were going to sell out tomorrow..."
A strong man turns his anxious face to a man with a beard.
In the evening there was a sudden storm and a sudden wind. Then the rising red and black fog gathered together as if to cover the entire city, and it was a creepy sight like the end of the world.
Later, from the center of the city, he also heard lightning flashes and explosions.
An upset also ran among the merchants and caravan squads who were stationed at the stable.
It also seems to have fitted in a while ago.
When a tremendous storm and flash pierced heaven, the fog began to clear like a lie. The drifting red and black temper fogged with the wind and disappeared.
The guards are still rushing around on horseback, but the city of Loudens was returning to its usual atmosphere.
"Well, it looks okay now. I can see people in the city."
I saw people walking out of the city for dinner and shopping.
Looking up at the night sky, you can also see the stars. The wind also brings the scent of the forest back to normal.
The city of Loudens had regained its peace. Lights are lit in the windows of the houses, unique ethnic music is heard from the streets with many liquors, and lively voices are beginning to be heard.
"... Rudens was a safe impression, even during the Demon King's War."
"Different."
"Besides, the famous wizard from Metanostadt... what the hell... seems to have come anyway to play in the Demon King's War. But when that crazy witch was out there, it was like she was flirting with your wife."
"Gahaha, it's a masterpiece, Pesa"
"Absolutely. So it seems that it was Rudens' warrior who defeated the witch."
"The Wizard of Metanostadt is called Grecas the Wise... the Wizard of Hyoro? In the streets of Ora."
"Oh, you saw a celebrity?
"The people I saw...... nothing. He was an unpleasant glasses young man. That's right, even though I was weaving cloak feathers that looked like shit. You were a lot younger than I imagined..."
"You're a wizard with a kingdom, and you're such a young man?
"Yeah, it's suspicious. I caught the guard talking in front of the liquor store earlier. Looks like we've grown up trying to give the princess a rare slime in the castle, and that's what made us so fussy."
"Slime in the castle?... Seriously. But why slime or something?
"I don't know. Uh... but my kami said it was good for her skin because the slime mucus contains healuronic acid and so on..."
A strong man shows off his accumulation (pussy) with a knowledgeable face.
"I see......! I can read it. Rudens has beautiful princess and sisters. A gift… it's for beauty."
As convinced, the bearded man nods and chews the broiled meat with a mog.
"I can't believe you're offering a live slime."
"Indeed."
"But... what the hell was going on in this city?"
"I don't know..."
The two travellers twist their necks, and for now they quarrel with the liquor.
An inexperienced witch broke out and the famous wizards from the great kingdom fought.
Weird-dressed men were raped and arrested in the city, and in the suburbs, chemicals appeared and raped, he said.
Besides, beauty slime multiply in the castle......?
It's not like I can explain these in a muscular fashion. The rumors called for speculation, a tail attached among the travellers, complicated among the travellers, and were already becoming a "Yota story".
"Well, it can be a pinch of booze"
"No way."
When the bearded man laughed gahaha, the other noticed something.
"That... was with a famous sage indeed... a cat-eared swordsman, Pei?
A man with a knife pours a brew jock into the dark.
"Hmm? Where? Where, where?"
"Look, there... that. Right, eh, Pei?
There was no one in the meadow illuminated by street lights. It extends across the fence surrounding it is a deep, blackish forest. From there I was beginning to hear the howl of the beast.

Grecas and his men returned to the Sage Hall.
The families who were waiting to return surrounded and fussed about Grecas, the Lord. It was very busy, mixed with worry and joy, and protest, tears and laughter.
But Luroni was alone, lost in the shade of the night, marching from the stable to the woods.
Spiano and Grecas are, of course, told about this covert action.
Looking back, I can see The Sage's Hall, magically hidden. The window was lit with lights of seemingly warm shades.
"Cleaning up after is not irrelevant to the awkward."
In the middle of the square, the witch of the mastermind (...) that caused this Loudens commotion broke out, repelled it by everyone, and a large demon appeared in the nearby woods - the Dragon Zombie, he said, was defeated by a group of Loudens warriors who rapidly marched out.
In other words, the case has converged and peace has returned.
But there were things that hadn't been cleaned up yet.
Leveraging the properties of the cat ear clan, it is lost in the darkness and reaches the entrance to the forest.
The howl of the beast and signs of something moving.
From here on out, at this hour, it can be said that it is a dangerous area of darkness to step in.
After a short wait, the three figures rushed to their feet as they lit the magic lamp. As if fleeing the road to the woods.
Luroni put his hand on the love knife pattern and blocked its way all the way.
"... where are you going? Lord of the Woods.
Three shadows stopped as a ghost.
"... ugh!?
"Lu Cat Nha......!
"Beh in Lord Luroni?
