The night of the day we left Nokta.

The centurions were holding an encampment. From Fran's point of view, they probably wanted to keep running through the night, but as expected, they know it's difficult.

They wouldn't be able to fight if they were still exhausted.

Besides, the fact that we've been able to shorten our schedule significantly is huge.

Originally it was going to take almost four days to get to Castell, but it looks like we'll be able to arrive the day after tomorrow morning.

Fran is in a good mood, too. So much so that she served everyone a curry.

Unlike the noon, when we poured sandwiches down the drain, everyone was excited to be well-fed and ready to set up camp.

'It's a strange smelling dish,'

Yum!

Horse! Yum!

The curry that was beginning to be popular in the Clansel Kingdom had probably not reached this continent. Everyone was surprised, but their tongues were tantalized.

I was worried about whether or not it would be good for the dragon people's taste buds, but apparently there was no problem. Rather, the dragonlings seemed to enjoy it the most and ate it in large quantities.

All of them are huge men of more than 190 centimeters in height, and they are also probably gluttonous by race.

The adventurers' beds are also luxurious. The adventurers' beds are also luxurious, and they have a lot of bedding that they bought in Nokta. If we used earth magic to build a hut, a simple lodging house could be built in an instant.

Furthermore, Sophie was a big hit here as well. Some of the songs she played were designed to promote sleep and recovery.

That helped me sleep more than I normally would have, even though I only got a couple of hours of sleep.

An unusual meal and a fluffy bed. It even came with a magical cleansing and great background music. The adventurers and others had let slip that it was more awesome than the town's inn.

It's midnight.

After the anti-magic raids subside, there is a brief moment of calm.

There, Tsarutta, who was sitting around the campfire with Fran, quietly opened his mouth.

''Fran-dono. You know the whereabouts of the other three Gordisia families that are different from us Camelia families, right?

"Hm.

Is that a wisteria? Is it Magnolia?

...... Magnolia.

Well, I guess I can at least give you a name. I can't tell you where they are without permission, though.

Hearing Fran's answer, Tsarutta pretends to be a little thoughtful.

''What's wrong?''

"Of the three families, I hear that Wisteria's ability is the most dangerous. It is said to have the power to cause the evil one to run amok.

It's dangerous.

I would have been somewhat relieved if I had known exactly where he was: ......

I suppose because we have the blessing of the evil gods ourselves, we can understand the dangers of that power when it gets out of control, etc.

''What is the current situation in Magnolia? Living happily ever after?

...... I don't know if she's happy. But he's in the care of someone I trust.

Good.

Tsarutta laughs in relief. Rather than wishing for the well-being of two families other than their own, I guess it's more of a relief that the dangerous force is tightly controlled?

But the Wisteria family or ....... We'll keep an eye out for them too. If we hear the name somewhere, it'll be different if we just let Tsarutta know.

From our departure, it was dawn on the second day.

After continuing to march, Fran and the others finally reach Castel's doorstep.

But Castel, which had looked desolate in both good and bad ways, was now a crucible of madness.

...... already, so much of it!

"That's a hell of a lot: ......... and it's not even 10,000.

I'm guessing you're looking at 100,000 or so. It may be that all the anti-demons in this vicinity are gathering.

But there was good news.

Castel was still safe. The battlefield is the plains in front of it. You can't see any greenery or dirt, the whole plain is covered with demons.

Nadia is still fighting.

Hm!

Just in front of the entrance to Castell. That's where I found a tremendous amount of magic power being spread. It's Nadia's magical power.

But it's also clear that the situation I feared is advancing.

''Is this indication that the anti-demons and the anti-demons are fighting each other?

Chelsea's muttering is not unreasonable. If she didn't know Nadia as well as we did, the erosion would have been so advanced that she could have been mistaken for an anti-demon.

'No. That's Auntie.

'But ....... No, wait. Are you the owner of the sword?

''Ah, so you're a user of Overgrowth. In that case, I can understand the magnitude of this tremendous power.

He is indeed the head of the dragonmen and mercenaries who have been fighting in this land for many years. He seems to know information that the average adventurer doesn't know.

''I don't know, but for now, all we have to do is destroy the anti-demons and save someone important to Fran, right? I'm going to show you how strong you are, Demitris style!

I'd go to hell for you, Black Thunder Princess!

Let's show him what a nocta adventurer is not a coward.

Behold the power of the Knights of Segiluchel!

We're going to be the first adventurers in the land to show you what we're made of.

It's a beautiful day for a performance. It's going to be a nice day to play.

I've never felt so reliant on my friends. Fran seemed to think so too. A faint smile appears on her face.

'...... Everyone, I need your help.'

You can count on me. With my fists, I'll definitely pave the way for you!

"We have a dragonborn warrior with us. I will make sure you reach your beloved one!

Thanks.

Fran nodded back to Hilt and Chelsea, who were standing on either side, and then looked back behind her. There stood a hundred elites, of different races and positions.

''Let's go then.''

"'Oh, oh, oh, oh!'
