"Is everything fine today?"

"...It seems so."

After discussing with Kania about how to defend the 'Raid on the Commoner's Dormitory,' both of us finally decided to monitor the situation together.

Of course, Kania, who will be in a lot of trouble if anyone finds her snooping around, is now hiding in my shadow.

"It's strange. I thought they would make a move at this point."

"If you take a look at the main quest window floating in front of me, it seems true that the raid hasn't happened yet..."

After several days of intense surveillance, there was no sign of an attack, as both of us gradually became exhausted.

This is because it's a job that forces us to stay up the entire night, while keeping our nerves sharp, and as a result of that, our mind and body gradually reached its limit.

"...Just in case, the raider isn't aiming for this situation, right?"

"What do you mean?"

"Perhaps they're delaying the raid in order to discover our existence or the presence of any guard, and maybe they also want us to drain our stamina."

"Hmm..."

If the raider had noticed that both of us were monitoring the dormitory, there would be a high probability that a penalty window would have appeared.

However, in preparation for such a situation, I bought various items from the back alley a few days ago which aids in hiding my presence.

In addition, although it's not as efficient as the old brooches, I regularly carry a few magical artifacts imbued with dark mana and I was planning to bark orders while using them, so even if someone finds out, I'll be mistaken for using black magic.

"So, there is no chance our existence will ever be discovered."

"...I see."

When I conveyed those to Kania, she nodded quietly and whispered.

"However, I believe we should still assume that the raider is aware that someone is trying to stop him."

"Yes, I think so too."

I muttered under my breath as the sun gradually rose in the distance.

"...Because our opponent is the Demon King."

Soon afterwards, as I was trudging my body back to the dormitory, I asked Kania a question that flashed through my mind

"By the way, Kania. What's Ferloche and Clana's stance on the commoner's dormitory raid?"

"I was going to report their recent moves when we arrived at our dormitory."

"Well then..."

Nodding to Kania's reliable answer, soon my steps stopped when I found someone approaching me from afar.

"...Hello."

Ferloche approached all the way right in front of my face, she then glared at me with a stiff expression.

I ignored her and tried to pass her by, but Ferloche grabbed my arm and stopped me.

"What the hell are you trying to do?"

"...Let me go."

"Tell me. What the hell are you trying to do..."

"I told you to let me go."

I wanted to get some shuteye before going to class, so I tried to shake off her hand with a stony expression. However, Ferloche grabbed me using the Blessing of the Sun God and yelled.
