The boss has been defeated, and the surrounding minions have been taken care of.

The base in the forest seems to be intact as well, so now it’s just a matter of pursuit and mop-up.

“What should I do? Should I head to the southern edge again?”

With that, I asked what my next move should be.

It’s the farthest distance away, and it’s a battlefield where we don’t need to send someone from our side to command. Having me here as support should be enough.

“No, I’ll handle the entire southern region. Instead, I’d like to ask Sera-dono to report to the lord.”

“Huh?”

It’s one thing for August to take command of the entire southern side, but as for the report, it seems like sending some messenger would suffice… but should I go instead?

◇

“Oh? Has the report come through here as well?”

On my way back to the mansion, I flew over the Adventurer’s Guild, and despite it being late at night, there was more traffic coming and going than when I left.

It was mostly the commercial guild people.

They’re probably trying to get involved early in trades like monster materials… but that’s not all.

It’s already been about 4 or 5 hours since the raid began.

The fighters haven’t had much of a chance to eat during that time, so we need to prepare food for them.

In other words, a soup kitchen.

Since I have the 【Wind’s Garb】, it doesn’t bother me, but it’s already winter, and it’s cold outside. If they don’t eat something warm, they won’t recover.

We’ve already discussed these things, which is why preparations are underway now, but it’s being led by the lord’s side.

This raid has been handled by the Knight Order and the Adventurer’s Guild, and Liesel hasn’t been directly involved, but it seems different here.

The commercial guild side is cooperating as volunteers, but it’s winter. There’s not much room to distribute food freely.

In that case, it would be better to use the city’s reserves from the start, and for the portions used, we can transport more from rich territories like Mesaria Kingdom.

Since we had a little time after detecting the raid, and we had expected it to happen soon, the groundwork for this has already been laid.

It’s a collaboration with other territories, so it’s the lord’s job.

However, the message hasn’t reached Liesel yet, and for now, we’re just moving according to what was decided in advance.

So, I’m appearing around the city as Liesel’s and Seriana’s representative.

“Well then, I’m back!”

While looking around at the town, I flew into the mansion through the usual open window.

In the office were Liesel, Rick, the captain of the first squad, August’s aide Mio, and usually, at this time, Seriana and Elena would be back in their rooms, but they were here as well.

“Welcome back, Sera. From the looks of it, it seems like things went well?”

The one to greet me was Liesel, asking about the battle.

Hmm… How much has been reported here?

“Not everything is settled yet, but I think all the Demon King types have been defeated. There was one at the southern edge taken down by an adventurer clan, one in the center by the squad leader, one to the north by Zighart, and the squad leader and Teresa joined forces to take down the overall boss. The boss was a Heavenly Wolf Demon King type.”

I gave a quick report, and the room buzzed with excitement.

Well, with four of them showing up, I can see why they’d be shocked.

“Do we know the extent of the damage on our side?”

“I’ve heard there were a few casualties, but I’m not sure of the details…”

Since I had been delivering potions all over the battlefield, I had a rough idea of the situation, but the people who died on the front lines… they stayed there. What happened to them? Hopefully, they’ve been accounted for at the main camp, but who knows…

“I see… thank you.”

Liesel must have understood from my expression, as she gave a small nod.

I’m sure once things calm down, she’ll take care of it from her side.

“Well… in any case, it seems we’ve weathered the raid. By now, they should be sending out supplies to the front lines, right? I’ve prepared the directives for that, Sera. You should head over there and give them to the person in charge.”

Liesel returned to her seat and pulled out several letters to hand over to me.

She ordered me quite easily, but the envelopes were the lord’s special ones.

She’s leaving it to the people on-site, but using such envelopes is a rare thing in the capital. It’ll make a good impression.

While I was impressed by that, Liesel was preparing more orders.

Next, she would be sending someone to Arion’s city to report that things here were settled.

They’re still in the middle of combat over there, after all.

The first squad was tasked with that, and Rick quickly left the room.

Whoever goes will probably take until the middle of the night to arrive.

It’s a dangerous task, racing through an area where monsters are still lurking.

If they’d let me go, I’d head there immediately, but it seems like the roles are being properly divided.

Well, it’s fine.

“Alright, I’ll deliver this now.”

“Ah, thank you.”

I quickly moved to take care of my task.
