"This is the place, right?"

Fully equipped, Mika stood on a street in the western district, addressing Mellie, who stood beside him.

"Yes, this is it," Mellie replied with a chuckle. "It seems the Ganesha Familia is quite considerate, assigning us to patrol near our own home. How convenient."

"Shakti Varma, the Ganesha Familia captain who wields the 'Staff of Ganesha,' is a highly capable commander, especially now with the various Familias working together," Airmid added.

"It appears her strategic planning is meticulous."

Mika nodded, acknowledging Mellie's praise.

In the future, Shakti Varma, despite not reaching Level 6, would become an elite Level 5 adventurer.

Under her leadership, the Ganesha Familia, though still unable to match the Freya and Loki Familias, would grow exponentially in strength.

Their position as the strongest Familia after the Freya and Loki Familias would be undisputed.

"Since we've confirmed the location, let's begin our patrol."

"To cover more ground efficiently, Airmid and Mellie, you two work together, while I'll patrol alone. How does that sound?"

"An impeccable plan," Airmid agreed.

Although Mika, Airmid, and Mellie were secretly Level 3, boasting combat prowess comparable to Familia executives, and theoretically shouldn't fear any opponents, Mika took precautions. He paired Airmid and Mellie together to ensure their safety in case they encountered an executive from the dark factions.

"Let's get started then."

The three exchanged smiles before heading off in different directions.

...

As Mika walked along the streets, observing his surroundings, a sense of melancholy washed over him.

The current Orario bore little resemblance to the bustling city he knew from the future.

Especially now, with the threat of the dark factions looming, all the shops were closed, and the streets were eerily deserted.

Occasionally, Mika spotted homeless individuals huddled in the shadows.

He guessed they were those who had lost their jobs and livelihoods, as Udo had mentioned.

"What a tragic era."

Even though this was the center of the world, the harsh reality of the times had cast a dark shadow over its former glory.

"This is the tide of the times."

Shaking off his somber thoughts, Mika refocused on his surroundings.

All he could do now was protect these businesses and hopefully prevent more people from falling victim to these dire circumstances.

Mika wasn't the only High-level adventurer patrolling this street.

There were others from various Familias.

After all, in the event of a real attack, two or three High-level adventurers wouldn't make much of a difference.

"You're here too, Mika?"

"Of course. It's a Guild summons. They wouldn't just mobilize you guys and leave us out."

"I just didn't expect to see you on this street."
