- Green Hollow Town had a calm morning that day for a long time.

Recently, Green Hollow has served as a base for preparations for a large-scale operation in the Dungeon "Ark of Elements", to which most of the town's spare power continues to flow.

But it ended a few days ago, and the preparation of the operation was finally finished yesterday.

"Okay, Sylvia. You're open today, right?

Erica, dressed in private clothes, calls out to Sylvia, who was cleaning at the entrance of the Wakaba-tei in the spring.

Unlike working at the White Wolf Shop, it has a shattered atmosphere when talking to an unconcerned friend, and it also brings a casual smile that the manager (Luke) can't see.

When I saw someone who only knew Erica, who works at a weapon store, I almost misunderstood that she was a very similar person.

Well... I've been a private soldier for a while, so I have to get back to the usual customer service. "

"It's tough, Sylvia.The weapons shop was downsizing until the store managers left, so I got a little free. "

Erica grabbed the wipes and helped Sylvia clean the interior of the hotel.

Sylvia and Erica have been friends since childhood, and this kind of help has always been the norm.

"No, I thought the store manager had taken a lot of people into the dungeon, and the room was filled up again soon.What the hell was that?

"I don't know much about it, but I'm sure he said he was stuck."

Gozume?

"Stand by in the rear."

That wasn't Sylvia's voice.

When they all looked at each other, a red-eyed girl stood near the front door of the inn.

"Leila's off today, too."

"The branch boy asked me to reschedule."

Now that key members of the head office, including Luke, have left, the White Wolf shop's operations are concentrated in branches, and Erica and the rest of the crew are working there.

Green Hollow's leading adventurers are also participating in Operation Homestead, so the branches are now on their way.

"When you send all your power to the front line at once, you don't have the flexibility to respond when something happens.The extra power must have arrived a little late for that. "

"I see... the green hollow might have flashed once I came.No, that's why you deliberately shifted the timing?

"I think so.Maybe it's time to get there. "

In contrast to Erica, who nodded in a relaxed manner and was convinced, Leila's expression was stiffened with anxiety.

"After all, are you worried about Travis?

"That's not how it is!I'm not just worried about him, I'm worried about you!

"Haha, I'm the same.Noir and the store manager want everyone to come home safely.We have to pray... what's the matter, Sylvia?You look so sinister. "

Erica turned her gaze to Sylvia in a natural conversation, but noticed that Sylvia had a difficult face and leaned her neck suspiciously.

Unlike Erica, who only helps, not the hotel employee, and Leila, who just happens to show her face, Sylvia is the signature daughter of a unique inn.

At a time when I was stopping to prepare for the opening of the store and thinking about it, it was natural for me to wonder from the surroundings.

"... eh? Oh, I'm sorry.I've been thinking a little. "

"Are you all right? I don't know what the problem is with the hotel...."

"Yeah, it's not like that.Last time I was stuck...Now I think they were somehow unusual. "

Erica faces Leila after hearing Sylvia's response.

Leila shook her neck silently and replied that she had no idea.

"Compared to the first people, the security was tight, or the employees had difficulty getting into the entire floor."

"Oh, in that case, maybe some nobleman was in command.Then I'm convinced of the seriousness of the security. "

--At that time.

The entire Green Hollow Town - no, not just the town, but even the surrounding mountain forests - swayed as if they could be pushed up from the bottom of the earth.

Shaken buildings. Window glass trembling loudly.

Sylvia reflexively blocked the cupboard door, Erica screamed up and climbed onto Leila, who was nearby, and Leila acted like a knight in preparation for the attack.

The hustle and bustle of the bustling boulevard stopped in a flash, and after a bit of silence, screams and chaos echoed throughout the city.

"Nah, nah, nah!?Ah, that's it!

"Earthquake? Sylvia, was Green Hollow an earthquake site?

"No, I've never done this before!

While locally born and raised Sylvia and Erica panicked lightly, Leila, who came from other regions, rather observed the situation calmly and blushed her face to her feet.

Severe earthquakes in the earth that have never occurred before, such as earthquakes.

Besides, it doesn't seem like it's going to end just once, and twice or three times, a big sway keeps shaking the town.

"No way... something's wrong with the dungeon...!

Leila embraced the hypothesis she had come up with and held Erica's shoulders relentlessly.

If you calm down and sort out the situation, perhaps everyone will have come to the same conclusion.

That's the only reason I can think of.

There was an unexpected 'something' in the dungeon where a large army, including Luke, was embarking.

"... I wonder if you're okay..."

The calm morning suddenly ended.

They can only pray - this day.The Green Hollow people faced an undeniable reality without exception.

Unexpectedly, the cause lies in the body of the beast that destroyed the world.
