《Starfall Tower》──

The time was probably around 8 o’clock at night.

In this world, small clocks that could be carried were extremely high-class items. A pocket watch was more expensive than gold of the same weight.

Wall-mounted clocks were only in the estates of nobles and the church.

A majority of the citizens lived by the time signal of the church’s bell. From 5 o’clock to 9 o’clock at night, the bell would ring at every hour.

Five times if it was 5 o’clock, six times if it was 6 o’clock……At 1 o’clock in the afternoon, it returned to one time. At first, he thought that it would be inconvenient, but with no train, no bus, and no TV, since there was no commute to work or school or anything to be late to, there was no problem with it.

Things like an accurate clock, transportation facilities, computers, and the Internet, these convenient inventions might be making it harder for people to live.

He casually thought such things.

A full moon shined in the sky.

The old looking, stone-made tower that stretched towards the moon had eight sides, and was slightly thicker at the bottom.

He had seen it when he was summoned, so this was his second time coming here. Looking at it at night, its atmosphere was quite different.

Diablo, Rem, Shera, and Alicia stopped and surveyed the surroundings.

「It should have been just as promised though……?」

「……That Demonic Being, just where is she?」

「Sh, she won’t attack us, right?」
