And then, another several days later──

「……I see. So you’re closing the store.」

「Yeah. It’s due to times endin’ up like this.」

The proprietor of the 『Steel Fish Store』, Galadd, shamefully answered to Shion’s words.

「That’s true.」

Shion also nodded to Galadd’s words.

Galadd also had his daughter Carol to think about. Not wanting to stay in a turbulent country is surely justified parental love.

「……What will you do from now on?」

Nino looked straight at Galadd and asked that.

「I was thinkin’ of goin’ to the Cylus Empire that has a lot of Metalio but……Carol is a half after all. I think it’d be a 10000 to 1 worst case scenario there but, I was thinkin’ of headin’ to the Canal Kingdom which seems like the safest choice.」

The Canal Kingdom is a gentle country where all races get along and live together.

There weren’t any particular points of special mention as a country, but seeing as how they have faith in the God of Light Raidolg, there weren’t any walls between races like the St. Altlis Kingdom.

For that reason, it was also the country with the most number of halves and quarters of every race.

「That might be good.」

「Yeah, I’ve already had various things delivered over there.」

「Will you run an inn again?」

In response to Nino’s words, Galadd said “that’s the plan” and smiled.

「So you guys’re departin’ today too.」

「Pretty much.」

That’s right, Shion and Nino were also planning on leaving the St. Altlis Kingdom.

Now where the situation had accelerated to the point where the word 「war」 had appeared in rumors even among the general public, orders under the name of an 「appeal for cooperation」 from the royal family started to reach every guild which should have originally been neutral.

Stationing changes within every guild had already happened, and personnel that were mankind races other than Humans did not remain in the guilds within the St. Altlis country.

Within this state of emergency where the guilds were in chaos, stories of fleeing abroad even among Human adventurers began to appear.

That was also something that probably couldn’t be helped. If one thought about it as their own social position changing from an adventurer to a mercenary employed by the country, it was only natural.

There were even rumors on the streets that the royal palace seemed to be discussing an adventurer conscription law.

「There’s no point in staying in this country any longer.」

Galadd also nodded at Shion’s words, but he didn’t know his true intention.

Shion was planning on leaving the Shutaia Continent.

If a war were to start, there would be nowhere that Shion would need to control the finer circumstances.

It might also be possible for him to join some country and do something about the war, but Shion had no intention of doing that.

「I see. Well, take care.」
