Lifelia Calendar, Year 165, January 9──

After a few days, Diablo’s carriage arrived at the city gates of the Royal Capital Sevenwall’s 《Ninth District》.

The guards called them to a halt.

The guards lined up and made a well-formed salute.

Diablo breathed a sigh of relief in his mind.

「As expected of you.」

「In the past, this crystal system didn’t exist and things were really troublesome though. I, wasn’t trusted all that much back then.」

「It must have been hard for you.」

They passed through the gate.

They slowly went down the street that was lined with stores.

The street was tiled, and the wheels made a *goto goto* sound. Even though it was wider than Faltra City’s main streets, it was overflowing with people despite that.

He felt like he might get sick from all of the people again. Diablo was bad with crowds of people.

「Tsk……Is there some kind of festival?」

「It’s the New Year’s Festival. For about ten days at the beginning of the year, they would drink alcohol, sing, and dance. There are also a lot of stallholders that only come out at this time of the year.」
