Part 1

Morning of the third day──

Diablo woke up earlier than usual, and headed to the dining hall alone.

On the bed, Rem and Shera were still asleep.

They would probably wake up if given another thirty minutes though.

Thinking that he should have breakfast together with them, he asked Mei, who was at the counter, for only coffee.

He sat down in his usual chair.

Those that would go on journeys, they would finish up breakfast before sunrise, and would have already departed.

Maybe because it was a time in between that and normal hours, there weren’t any other guests.

He was alone.

「First, it is Faltra.」

「……After that, will we be headed to a different place? I believe that there was a request from Sylvie saying that she wanted us to participate in the city’s defensive battle though?」

「This is necessary for the sake of that.」

Diablo even planned to depart today.

The objective, to level himself up.
