★Atria’s Point of View
Me and Maybella were separated from Castor san and Estelle.
We strolled around the city until our meeting time in two hours.
“Hey, Atria, I wonder if they are making out right now?”
“Fufu. Do you wonder?”
“Because, you know, Estelle seems to be really crazy about him right now, right?”
“I guess so. …… no matter what we do, we will never be able to win over Estelle’s feelings for him, and the other two are the same.
After the incident with the paralyzing poison, Maybella seemed a little apologetic, and seemed to remember well that she was saved by Castor san.
Although not as much as Estelle, I am sure that she feels some kind of feelings for him
It is the same for me, too, since the very first time I was saved. But Castor-sama is a strong person, so there are only a few things I can do.
But when I protected everyone from that Kashira explosion, I feel I was able to help a little.
“Oh, that’s right! I hear there are some interesting places in this town, so let’s go there!”
“An interesting place?”
“Yes, I think Atria will be very happy to see it!”
“Then I will leave it to Maybella to decide where to go.”
So Maybella took me somewhere, but the destination was a surprising place.

★Castor’s Point of View
“I feel like I’ve been dreaming. ……”
“I guess that’s what happens when you earn that many coins.”
But still, was it really possible to earn coins without any game knowledge …… was it too cheat way?
The other thing is the look I felt from that back door. I couldn’t see him, but he was probably the owner.
In other words, it’s Hamar, the demon tribe.
But the time for a decisive battle is not now.
For the sake of the story, I want the heroes to defeat him if possible.
At the moment, Estelle and I were once again going around the city in search of the hero.
Since there are many inns in this town, we hadn’t narrowed it down yet, and since it was still daytime, we were looking around for a place other than an inn.
“Estelle, Do you know where the hero might go?”
“Well…I don’t know why they are staying in this town, but…everyone in this town looks pale…Maybe the heroes are also talking to the residents who are receiving treatment at the church….?”
“Wonderful. Let’s go to the church!”
“Yes!”
Estelle, her golden hair shaking, followed me in a good mood.
◇ ◇ ◇
The church we came to.
A statue of a goddess was enshrined in the back, and in addition to people praying, there was a crowd of people in front of the priest.
Perhaps it was a line of people who were seeking medical attention for their persistent insomnia.
But the root of this insomnia cannot be cured without defeating Hamar.
And once it takes hold, it is like a curse that can never be broken.
However, if you spend a night equipped with the “earrings to ward off evil spirits,” you will be able to sleep.
The rule is that if you spend the night in this town and fall asleep, you will fall under Hamar’s curse.
Unless you have the “Piercing for Repelling Evil,” you cannot sleep
Estelle and I are already wearing them.
I’m going to give them to Atria and Maybella later, and to the heroes as well.
“Oh, there’s ……!”
“The girl with the dark blue hair?”
Estelle pointed to a line of blue-haired heroes in the line of priests.
And three people behind her, also in line, would be the party members.
“Let’s sit in the chairs there until the heroes return.”
“I understand.”
We sat down on the long sofa-like chairs and waited for the heroes to return.
We waited for ten minutes. After about ten minutes of waiting, the hero had finished discussing the matter with the priest and was about to leave the church.
“May I have a word?”
“…. yes?”
A girl of small stature called out to us.
She looked like she used to have a beautiful face, but now her complexion and dark circles were terrible, and she lacked a sense of control.
The other three were the same way.
“Can I talk to you for a moment?”
“You look familiar to me from somewhere,…… that one over there,…… P-perhaps it was that time!”
She didn’t seem to remember much about me.
However, as if she remembered Estelle, she rubbed her sleepy eyes and regained a little light in them.
“You remembered?”
“Of course, of course! Without you guys, we would have been wiped out and …… we are really lucky to be alive. …… Um, are your guys ……?”
“The other two are in good hands.”
“That’s good to hear ……!”
“By the way, this Castor sama is the hero who saved us by cutting off one of Tejato’s arms.”
“Don’t call me a hero. They’ll think I’m a hero.”
“Eh!? You might be the …… we passed each other at that time!”
As we were talking, she seemed to remember me as well.
I think it was a moment when we passed each other in the ancient ruins, but I remember it well.
“Yeah, I managed to save Estelle and the others and escape.”
“Good …… really …… thank you …… thank you very much.”
The hero seems to be a person with a very kind heart.
In reality, there was a person alive who could have died, right?
“The joy of reunion is good. It’s an important story,…… so let’s go to my inn,…….”
So saying, I asked to be guided to the inn
◇ ◇ ◇
“Um–before we talk, let me introduce you to my companions.”
said Stella the hero, introducing her companions in a room at the inn.
Mira, a wizard, is 20 years old and level 16; Sham, a monk, is 23 years old and level 18; and Ansel, a warrior, is 24 years old and level 19. By the way, Stella the hero was 18 and level 17; their ages were the same as in the game.
Hamar’s level was 20, which was not high enough for each of them, but not too high that he could not be beaten.
“You guys aren’t sleeping now, are you?”
“Eh, you know?”
After introducing myself, I started talking.
The first to react was Mira, a dark-haired wizard.
“Yeah, we just came to town today, and I can usually tell by your …… complexion.”
“I don’t know how this happened,…… and people all over town are like this,…… and I’m going crazy,…….”
Mira’s eyes are red as she held her head.
“I was in trouble because even the magic I remembered didn’t work.”
“Oh,……, I can’t fight with this. Even weak demons might defeat me.”
The monk Sham wrinkled his brow and the warrior Ansel looked up at the ceiling and sighed.
“Okay – then all of you will put on these ‘earrings of protection against evil’ and go to bed. Sleep now. Then you will have good dreams this night.”
“Ehh ……, what are these earrings ……?”
“I’m sure you’re sleepy, so I’ll skip the details. In any case, you, the heroic party, are the ones I’m relying on.”
I gave the “earrings” to the four of them.
The party looked at me quizzically, but since they had no one else to turn to, they obeyed me and put the earrings on right then and there.
“Alright, ……, I’ll be back at the inn tomorrow morning”
“Thank you, Castor san. We will see you again when we are back on our feet.”
“Yeah”
And so we left the inn where the hero was staying.
“Aah!”
“What’s wrong?”
I had completely forgotten.
Two hours had already passed.
“We hadn’t even retrieved the blacksmith’s weapons, and Atria and the others might be waiting for us!”
“Oh, …….”
Estelle had also forgotten.
“Let’s hurry back!”
“Yes!”
After that, after retrieving the blacksmith’s weapon, which we had forgotten about, Estelle and I met up with Atria and the others.
