Arriving at the entrance of the village with Marielle-san, who was currently still unconscious on Lode-san's very broad back, I look up towards the sky.

When I saw the darkness of the time that was last night, slowly disappearing into the western direction, due to the sunlight's rays illuminating the surroundings, I exhaled a sigh of relief. The sun was rising in the east, so that meant that the directions of this world, and also most of the laws of the universe did not differ from Earth.

At least, I hope it did.

The reason why we had only just arrived now, as the sun was rising, was because Lode-san was injured, and Marielle-san was being carried. Otherwise, we would have gotten here even faster with my absurd speed and movement skills.

It definitely wasn't because of the two trouble-making birds on my shoulders, that was always flapping their wings, releasing gales of wind and ice mixed with fire, destroying the landscape the more we moved closer to the village.

Nope, that definitely wasn't the reason at all.

Although, I did have quite a hard time calming them down.

Greeting the village guard who looked like a nervous wreck, as he anxiously told us the state of the village evacuation, we entered the village and proceeded to walk towards Marielle-san's house. Do your best guard-san.

Naturally, my appearance had reverted back to its original state. With my silver hair, turning back to its nostalgic black color, and my red irises that finally lost its luster after decapitating that guy's head, had finally turned into the dull color of night.

And finally, my status that could have been called too absurd in the literal sense, still remained absurd. I meant that it was too absurdly pitiful to look at now.

In the future, I hope I find a way to somehow give me a little more base stats at least.

Since this world was built almost exactly like the game I played, being weak during the day was really a major setback. But first, finding a place to live in, would have to take priority. I can start making countermeasures once my life would be more or less stable.

With all the events happening as soon as I arrived in this strange world, I haven't even caught a break yet. The time in prison doesn't count since well...it was prison.

Hoping and wishing for a peaceful future, we had finally arrived outside the house.

I hope Elle-chan wasn't too scared.

Or maybe she evacuated along with Roy-san and the villagers? That, I still didn't know.

Regardless, we had to set down Marielle-san somewhere and let Lode-san rest.

So, I put my hand on the door handle, while simultaneously activating my <<Lock Picking>> skill, and pushed it forward.

With a clicking sound, the door was opened slightly. When I ascertained there was no other presences inside the house except some normal flies in the corner of the back room, I fully opened the wooden door. But just as I did...

*Break*

*Shatter*

Sounds of glass shattering heavily resounded inside my head. A trace of magic being used and was currently dispersing around me, was seen through by my <<Dragon Eyes>> skill.

When I looked closer, a fragment of the broken magic formation was floating in the air, and when I identified it, it showed as 'Broken Magic Lock Lv2'. Apparently, those who try to get in without the key to the house which Elle-chan had with her, a magic trap would activate and try to eliminate the intruder.
