Having been split into three groups, we headed to the clan house. If it’s the clan house, I could take anything out from my『Item Box』and give the excuse that it had been here originally. I had the adventurer team head to the former site of the orphanage. Our acquaintances were nearby as well and if anything happened, I would be able to immediately get in touch with them. The escort adventurers went to the Adventurer Guild. This was to let them know about the incident at the market and to inform them of the current situation. We were employed by the guild, so it should’ve been easy to communicate. In addition, the wolves accompanied them, once they collected enough information, they would contact us. We gave them a large amount of potions. If it wasn’t enough, then they’ll probably come to the clan house.

「Nn? You guys came here now? Dragons appeared here and it’s a disaster! Nothing happened to you guys?」

Arriving at the clan house, the adventurer group, who was standing by, steadily arranged their equipment, and were keeping guard of the surroundings as if to protect the clan house. The feudal lord army ran away and returned here. Just as they were about to disperse, the Wind Dragons circled around in the sky above the town and although they had already returned to Dragon Forest, the town was in turmoil just because of the fact that dragons had been flying above the town. I knew that Ojii-san was the person (dragon?) who did this, so although I understood that the Wind Dragons returned without doing anything to the town, for the people who did not know the true identities of the Wind Dragons, they would be worried, not knowing when they would be attacked.

However, the familiars were not vigilant at all, so everyone felt that it was strange. In the beginning, I also felt that it was strange, but when I tried asking Queen, it seems that their presence was extremely similar to that of an acquaintance (Ojii-san), so they were only cautious in the beginning. I didn’t remember telling her Ojii-san’s identity, but perhaps it’s a monster ability?

「If the dragons come again, we will have to evacuate. Shuu, sorry, but could you collect the luggage for us? Cruz and the others, help us keep an eye on the neighborhood!」

「「「Understood!」」」

The adventurer group from the clan house told us, who were approaching them, what to do and we followed their instructions. We probably didn’t need to take refuge, but there was no way for me to tell everyone the true identities of the dragons, so let’s help with the preparations. From what I could see, there dIdn’t seem to be anything like a fire in town, so did they really need that much medicine and potions? 

「O~i, Shuu! Come here for a second!」

As I was putting away the valuables into my『Item Box』together with my younger sister and the children from the clan house, someone outside called for me. When I went over, the wolves who went to the Adventurer Guild with the adventurer group were there.

「You called?」

「Ou, I wanted to ask you, how many potions do you have?」

It seems that they were delivering a message from the Adventurer Guild, saying that they needed as many potions as we could give. Because dragons had appeared, it seems that they were now in a state of emergency and not only the soldiers and knights of this town, even the adventurers were being gathered, coming together to protect the town. Because of this, they were collecting recovery items, so I got a message to confirm the inventory and to summon the adventurer group. Incidentally, Cruz-kun and Ilya-Chan’s rank was low, so they were not called. If they’re going up against dragons, then there didn’t seem to be much of a difference, but conversely, there was the work of guiding the evacuation within the town.

After that, we met up with the adventurer group who went to the former site of the orphanage, and took refuge together with the confused neighbors. Even so, there was no evacuation site like a community center or a school, and because the residence of the feudal lord, which should have been the most suitable place for people to take refuge at, was attacked, it conversely became dangerous. It seems that the townspeople had somehow noticed that the feudal lord and the others had run back home while bringing along the dragons. In the end, it was decided that people would split up and evacuate to people’s homes that seemed sturdy. Actually, it was more or less safe within the inner wall, but the elderly people said that they could help with various things,, so they took refuge at the clan house.

「They say that the big dragon went to the imperial capital, you know?」

The adventurer group who went to deliver the potions to the guild reported new information. I thought that most of them returned to Dragon Forest, but the dragon that was obviously bigger than the others went in the opposite direction from Dragon Forest, and flew towards the imperial capital. I thought that it was most likely Ojii-san, but what was he planning on doing?
