"Mmm... oh?"

At the same time, I also noticed that Seriana, sleeping next to me, still showed no signs of waking up.

I wonder if last night's pre-bed stretches did the trick?

Even though I'd gotten up beside her, she was sleeping soundly.

By the way, I'd apparently slept soundly too, and I woke up feeling great!

Being careful not to wake her, I quietly slipped out of bed, got on the 【Floating Orb】, and left the bedroom.

"Every so—... often, this kind of thing happens, right? What'd I do last time?"

At some point, there was also a time when I woke up before Seriana... I'm pretty sure back then I went to check outside, right?

"Since then, I've had chances to see how the town's doing during the day, but not in the morning. I've woken up early for once, so maybe I'll go take a look."

The number of people who've come from elsewhere to the town has increased, too.

I don't think people who'd come here would do anything strange at this point, and more than anything, there are soldiers patrolling the town day and night, so I don't think any problems would happen, but I'd still like to check with my own eyes just in case.

"All right... then, let's get ready nice and quick, shall we?"

First, washing my face... and with that, I flew off toward the bathroom.

◇

At night it'd be one thing, but with people visiting the town from elsewhere, even if it's early morning, flying around in my sleepwear while it's bright out isn't exactly great... so I changed into my usual clothes just in case before flying out of the room.

It was still at a time when no shops were open yet, and the workshop district wasn't operating either, so the whole town was still quiet.

However, there were surprisingly many signs of people in the noble district.

Because guests from elsewhere were staying in the noble district too, they'd increased the number of patrols, and the guard soldiers at each mansion had increased as well.

In addition, to deliver food and such that each mansion consumed during the morning, merchants who came and went were running horse-drawn carts.

"Seeing it like this... maybe the noble district has more people in the early morning. I guess changing clothes was the right call after all."

Without going down the slope of the high ground, I flew straight to the town walls.

"Vice-Captain Sera!?"

The soldiers atop the town walls noticed me and called out.

"What's wrong at such an early hour?"

"Morning. I woke up a bit early, so I thought I'd take a look at how the town's doing."

At my words, they laughed with an "Ah...".

"Vice-Captain, you haven't been able to look around the town much lately because of missions, after all."

"The residents, not to mention those who've come from outside, are behaving themselves, and there hasn't been any particular trouble during the night... but at this hour, people heading to the dungeon start to appear."

"To the dungeon... they're the adventurers escorting the people who came from outside, right? They're really fired up..."

Once they'd arrived at the town and confirmed how safe it was, the adventurers who'd served as escorts up to here were probably starting to challenge the dungeon.

As expected, they probably wouldn't all go, and I wonder if they're working in rotations?

"Our dungeon has better support compared to other places, and it's much safer than First Forest, so maybe it's easier to dive into?"

"You're right... it seems there's a strong tendency for those who've hunted once in First Forest to head to the dungeon. They seem to be doing various things like attaching guides to First Forest explorations, but it seems there aren't many who can keep hunting over there."

"Even if the shallows are manageable, continuing to explore the shallows in a party isn't exactly efficient. They don't seem to have given up, but I hear that right now they're prioritizing the dungeon over First Forest."

"...You're well informed."

Putting aside how adventurers from elsewhere behave in town, I'd thought he wasn't interested in hunting circumstances... but he seems to have looked into it quite a bit.

"It'd be a problem if they caused a commotion in town... and it'd be a problem if they died in the dungeon. The ones patrolling the town are keeping a close watch on adventurers' movements."

As if agreeing with his words, the surrounding soldiers nodded.

They were as reliable as could be.

After exchanging another few words with them, I parted ways and flew off into the town.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
