... I didn't think you were so worn out.

I can't see how Lynn is doing.

"Relius... we may have a clue. I'll find it."

"... yes"

Camilla smacks me in the back when I'm stunned.

... Camilla is right. This is not the case if you are resting here stupidly.

There may be Lynn. Alternatively, there may be a lead to phosphorus.

I imagined the worst here on my own, and I couldn't be depressed by it.

Anyway, now we have to move our feet.

Walk through the village.... after the battle with the pale stone monsters was left everywhere.

Blood is sticking everywhere. The battle was so dry that it could be seen that it took place a few days ago.

There were many bodies of the blue stone monster.

... human bodies are nowhere to be found.

Was it eaten by a pale stone monster?... or is everyone sheltering somewhere?

"... Relius, we don't have much human blood."

"... can you judge blood?

"Yeah, I'm a vampire."

Oh, that's right.

I completely forgot because it wasn't very vampire.

Camilla lightly inflates her cheeks at my words.

... when I smiled bitterly at it - I heard something.

What is it, man?

Clear your ears. The sound was heard from a pile of debris.

――

It's a voice that seems like a person.

"Is anyone there!?

When I called, a voice came back from you.

... human voice. However, the voice was hard to hear because it was buried in the rubble.

"Camilla, help me move the debris."

"Of course."

I'm moving the rubble with Camilla.

Eventually, I saw a staircase leading to the basement.

And then there were some thin people that I saw up ahead.

"I'm glad! Thank goodness, you guys!

As relieved as they were, they popped out.

"Are you from this village?

"Ahh......! The pale stone monster attacked me, and I hope I ran in here and had my entrance sealed... but I couldn't get out."

"... that's right. Is everyone in this village here!?

Maybe Lynn will be there.

The villagers shook their heads at my words.

"Well... some of them escaped outside the village when they were attacked. That's why it's not everyone."

"Those people... if they were six, they would be protected in our village.... the villagers told us we were here!

"What!? Really!? That's good... they're alive...!

A man weeping happily.

... I'm sorry about him, but I was worried about Lynn.

"Excuse me, is there a woman in this village named Lynn!?

"Eh? Lynn...?

"Ha, yes!

The man's reaction startled him.

Then his expression turned into a bad face.

"... that's right. The Lynn was the girl who blocked this entrance and protected us from the pale stone monster. Probably at your age."

"... Lynn?

"Ah, ah. That girl is pretty strong. We can't help it. Kill the flint monsters. But there were a lot of pale stone monsters, so they led us out of the village to fight... aren't you there now?

"Yes...."

... Lynn is gone.

Camilla slapped me in the back as I was chewing my lips.

"... there's no body. He's probably somewhere."

"... yes"

... oh, yeah.

Anyway, we need to find Lynn now.

... and the villagers... we need to take them to our village.

First, I sent out all the people in the basement.

Then I'll distribute all the potions I had.

"Po, Po Po Po Po! Can I get something so precious!?

"Yes, I'm free to build. And is anyone hungry? I can prepare a light lunch right now...."

You won't be able to stand in the way of light cooking here.

One person will raise his hand to my words.

Following the boy who raised his hand modestly, everyone raised his hand slowly.

... this village seems to have about 20 people.

I was even more surprised when I handed everyone a meal.

"We have plenty of them, so please don't take them away from each other. If you go back to the village, there will be more."

"Su, that's amazing... Mr. Relius. I've never heard of such an amazing skill!

"You look like a god!... thank you! I haven't had such a good meal in a long time...!

Everyone is eating with tears.

... I have prepared another carriage with a bitter smile on it.

Everyone was about to open their eyes and choke on their throats.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this carriage will take you to our village.... but we're going to be searching for Lynn... I'm sorry, but please move to the village with the Golems."

Everyone nodded at my words.

As everyone understood, I went on.

"When you get over there, please speak to someone named Bardo. Someone like the village representative. When it comes to the people of the northern village protected by Lelius, I think it will be passed on."

"Oh, I see... but is that Golem that belongs to Mr. Lelius? I mean, the carriage was built in an instant, right?

"... well, they're both made with my skills."

"Su, wow...."

It just seemed impressive.

The protection of the villagers may have gotten a little messy, but I have more to do than that.

We need to find Lynn.
