"Altair!"

As I called his name and ran toward him, Altair, who had been chatting with Winter with a cheerful expression, turned his head toward me.

"Salvia, what’s up?"

Since I had saved his life, the once strict "Kontaier" Altair had become unusually lenient with me.

"Is the dark sorcerer you’re here to catch that person? The one from the Empire’s northern region, the Three Great Dark Sorcerers…"

"Ah, yeah. One of them is suspected to be in this village."

"Ah..."

"You know, the reason you’re here for flood relief is also because of that dark sorcerer, right?"

"Huh?"

I was surprised, my eyes widening at this new information, and Altair looked at me as if he couldn’t believe I hadn’t heard.

"What, didn’t they explain it to you? The flood damage in some villages in the northern Empire is all due to dark magic that the sorcerer used."

"...What?"@@novelbin@@

"They say the rainstorm that flooded certain villages was the result of dark magic. Our unit is here specifically to track down that dark sorcerer."

…It sounded strange now that I heard it.

The villages near us weren’t that far, but our unit was perfectly fine while several villages nearby were hit with severe flooding.
