Atop the Labyrinth's walls.
Countless people stood upon the walls of Labyrinth, which had entered a period of vigilance ahead of the monster invasion.
Soldiers and mercenaries in charge of guarding monitored the Labyrinth in shifts from atop the walls.
'See anything?'
'Nothing at all….'
On one side of those walls, members of Ian's mercenary group, including Rin, had taken their positions and were looking toward the Labyrinth.
'I wonder when they'll come out this time…. Surely they won't drag it out for another month like this, right?'
'Didn't it usually take about one to two weeks after entering vigilance?'
'Sigh. Since they're coming anyway, I wish they'd just show up early.'
Rin, leaning against a section of the wall, muttered.
Though they didn't say it, the other mercenaries and soldiers standing on the wall probably all felt the same.
Since the invasion was coming regardless, everyone felt the same desire to at least reduce the tedious wait time.
