We returned to the Sanctuary after sheltering the rmaids from Samandour Kingdom. They numbered slightly over 200 people.
The Sanctuary barrier had expanded greatly, which of course extended seaward as well. Its radius is now 15km and what was previously 200m from the beach is now over 800m within the barrier’s range.
The stationing soldiers of various countries were gradually being moved by Gno so that they wouldn’t notice, but as expected, it seems they have. That said, they still can’t do anything about it.
The rmaids’ houses were under construction near the beach, and I think they’d be able to fish and whatnot in safe waters that monsters wouldn’t approach.
The Sanctuary barrier blocks monsters but lets fish pass through. The sea that predators can’t approach had beco a bountiful fishing ground.
Dwarves also increased, with so being retired craftsn and their spouses, and were working energetically. It doesn’t feel like they’re past their years because, although not to the extent of the Elves, the Dwarves were also a race of longevity.
The Elves multiplied as well. I am told that Princess Mimir brings along young families that want to immigrate from Yggurle Kingdom. I later heard “Don’t mind it” from Undine and Sylph. It’ll probably be fine if the they were people that have passed the Great Spirits’ check.
I’m not the supervisor of the Sanctuary though.
And even the Cat Siths had increased. It seems the Cat Siths of this continent were heading to the Sanctuary. According to the Great Dark Spirit Nyx, the race known as Cat Sith were virtuous and gentle, so they had no choice but to live in hiding in this world. “That’s why basically all Cat Siths will be accepted”, is what I was told.
Still, as I said, I am not the Sanctuary’s supervisor though. Of course, I wouldn’t be.
If people continue to increase, I’ll have to think of a way to maintain the order in the Sanctuary…………….
It’s already the size of a big town.
I ca and went from Volton and the Sanctuary, continuing a busy lifestyle for so days. And so, this is a rare occasion that I’m walking alone in town.

「Guh.」
Intense pain ran from my side.
Hearing continuous sounds of cutting wind, I endured the pain and jumped sideways. The next instant, a drawn sword glistened in the spot my neck was at.
The pursuing sword tip shaved at my upper arm.
I took quite a large distance to reorganize myself for a mont.
「Kyaaaaaa!!」
Screams were raised from the surroundings at the criminal act done in broad daylight.
I promptly used chantless 【Heal】 several tis. I then dodged the sword that chased after , but my body’s movents were strange. It felt numb and I was hit with dizziness.
(What’s this? My wound should have been healed…………poison!?)
I hurriedly cast detoxification magic on myself, and just to be sure, I also used purification magic. Once the numbness and dizziness subsided, only now did I have the room to check the assailant.
The assailant was a man wearing normal clothes you’d find anywhere. Not even an adventurer’s clothing, nor the clothing of the zealots, his clothes looked like a common villager’s clothing. However, the speed at which he wields his sword was unnaturally fast and sharp for his poor skills.
「Who are you?」
「………………」
So I could calm down, I tried asking for his identity since I didn’t have anything to lose, but the assailant stayed silent and kept on waving his sword.
In fear of the assailant brandishing his sword in town, the surrounding people began fleeing.
The assailant’s body balance and weight transfer were all over the place but the speed of his swings didn’t fall as he continued flailing the poison-coated sword at .
While avoiding the sword he slashed diagonally from his shoulder, I closing in on my opponent then I swept my left hand towards his sword-wielding hand to repel it, and from there, with flowing movents, I drove my elbow into his solar plexus.
「Guu!」
The assailant’s body bent at the hips like a less than (
