3rd Pov.

By the time Kazuma and Esora returned to the mansion, it was full of screams and chaos.

"We need to run! As far away as possible!"

The panicking Aqua said as she ran in circles, knocking over a lot of things.

The Japanese duo was planning to gear up and head to the guild, but was lost for words as they looked at the two girls.

"Hey... What's with the two of you? The guild issued an emergency broadcast, so let's put on our equipment and head over."

After hearing what Kazuma said, the two of them finally noticed his presence.

"Kazuma, what nonsense are you saying? Don't tell me you want to fight the Mobile Fortress Destroyer?"

Aqua was shocked.

She was already pulling a cart filled with her personal belongings.

From how tense the broadcasting voice was, even Kazuma could tell that the thing that was approaching was bad news.

"Kazuma, the thing that's approaching the town is renowned for destroying everything except devotees of the Axis Cult. The ultimate bounty target, the Mobile Fortress Destroyer. Taking that thing on would be reckless." Megumin, who had already packed her bag, placed it to the side as she sipped some tea with a resigned look.

"Hey, why are you speaking about my believers in such a way? Wiz said something like that too, why are you so afraid of my children? They're all good and normal people!" Aqua replies to Megumin's commemt about her cult with offense.

"I keep hearing about it but I still don't understand. Is this Destroyer that much of a problem?" Esora asks as she calms a shivering Kurotsuchi.

"It's an ancient weapon that went on a rampage." Everyone looked to Darkness who appeared wearing a set of heavy armor I had never seen before.

Aside from her full plate armor, Darkness also put on a heavy cape made of chains, with a detachable shield on her left arm.

"They say that where it passes through, not even grass remains."

"I-It's really that fearsome...?" Esora asks with unease before looking at her friend, "Hey, Kazuma, shouldn't we also... but judging from that look in your eyes, you don't plan on running, huh?"

The brunette nods with a determined expression, "Yeah! Like hell I'm just gonna let the house we finally earned be destroyed that easily! Let's hurry to the guild."

"Oh! You're here, Kazuma, Esora-chan! I knew you would come!"

Thr group walked into the guild fully geared, and was greeted by Dust who was also equipped for battle.

His teammates Keith, Taylor and Lynn were beside him.

"I had faith you would be here too." The male Crusader clapped Kazuma's back

The brunette takes the moment to survey the interior of the guild.

All the adventurers present had put on the strongest armor in mind and rushed here.

'They must've really loved this town.'

It felt as though the ratio of male adventurers seemed particularly high, but that was probably his imagination.

And so, after most of the adventurers had arrived, the main guild receptionist, Luna, and her coworkers gatherer at the front to begin the announcement.
