“May the radiance of the sun be with you. I am Airic Dert, High Priest of the Sun God’s Main Temple.”

Rosetta was amazed by the sight of High Priest Airic greeting her so politely.

She hadn’t expected in the slightest to meet the High Priest right upon arrival.

Even at the Temple of the Sea God, first-time visitors could hardly meet even a high priest, let alone the High Priest.

But here she was meeting the High Priest immediately!

‘Moreover, he truly befits the position of High Priest.’

Soft golden hair that seemed to mirror warm sunlight itself, clear sparkling emerald eyes, and an incredibly gentle demeanor.

Beautiful looks rarely seen even in the capital—no, warm character that made her fondness for the Sun God’s Main Temple soar instantly.

“You came because you need healing power.”

“Ah, yes yes!”

Rosetta, who had been unconsciously staring at Airic in a daze, hurriedly came to her senses.

This wasn’t the time to be enchanted by his looks.

“I’ve seen the potions sold by the Lumen Trading Guild. As you know, the Southern Region has frequent monster appearances, so we need more potions than other regions.”

The desert in the Southern Region.

For some unknown reason, that place had particularly frequent monster appearances.

“But recently, the frequency of monster rampages has increased, and accordingly, the number of injured people has grown. That’s exactly why I came all this way.”

Rosetta clasped her hands together and earnestly pleaded to Airic.

“Please sell the Sun God’s potions to our Southern Region too!”

However, the person who answered her plea wasn’t Airic standing before her.

Bang!

Without even a knock, the door behind opened and a spirited shout was heard.

“That conversation! Have it with me!”

Startled, Rosetta jumped up and turned around.

“Ah…”

And she unconsciously let out an exclamation of admiration.

Rare pink hair, intense golden eyes like midsummer sunlight, a beautiful face full of confident smiles.

When she first saw Airic, she thought he truly resembled the sun, but compared to the woman who had burst in, Airic was merely spring sunlight.

The person who truly embodied the sun—that intense, blazing light—was that woman.

“Who, who might you be…”

When Rosetta stammered, overwhelmed by her presence, Airic answered instead.

“Please pay your respects. This is Lady Ordel, the Holy Maiden of the Sun God’s Main Temple.”

Holy Maiden!

Shocked, Rosetta hurriedly bowed her head.

“I, I greet the Holy Maiden!”

To think she would meet the Holy Maiden after the High Priest.

Since this was such an unknown place, she didn’t even know there was a Holy Maiden here, but to have such fortune follow her.

Having unexpectedly met God’s representative, Rosetta’s heart pounded wildly.

“Please raise your head. We have important matters to discuss, and we can’t do that with you like this.”

At the warm words, Rosetta hesitantly raised her head.

Rosetta was greatly shocked by the sight of the Holy Maiden wearing a gentle smile, contrasting with her dramatic entrance.

She thought all Holy Maidens had terrible tempers like the Sea God’s Holy Maiden, but there were such warm people too!

“The Holy Maiden is currently in charge of the potion business, so it would be best for you to have your conversation with her.”

“Yes, yes? The Holy Maiden handles business…”

“I’m quite confident in commerce, you see.”

Ordel smiled and answered Rosetta’s surprised words.

“Now, let’s go to my reception room. High Priest, please come along too.”

Ordel smiled brightly and spun around.

‘This can’t be a dream, right…?’

Rosetta followed behind Ordel in a half-dazed state.

* * *

What a stroke of luck.

Facing Rosetta Flur in the reception room, I barely held back the laughter that was about to escape.

When I heard the report that someone needing healing power had visited, how excited I was.

Before I knew it, I was running to Airic’s office.

Ditrihi would naturally have brought her to Airic since such matters are usually handled at the High Priest level, but impatient me couldn’t wait.

“So you need potions.”

“Yes.”

Since monsters appeared so frequently in the Southern Region, most people made their living hunting monsters.

They could get quite good prices for the hides and magic stones obtained from killing monsters.

That’s why they needed more potions than other regions.

“Actually, I inquired with the Lumen Trading Guild first. Whether they had any intention of selling potions to the Southern Region too.”

Huh? This is something I haven’t heard from Jun or Rute.

“But they only replied that they needed to discuss with the Sun God’s Main Temple, their supplier, first, so I should wait.”

Well, that’s true enough.

We’re making potions with a small number of people.

“Our situation is urgent and I simply couldn’t wait that long, so I came here like this.”

I understand the situation.

Nodding, I looked at Monica waiting by the door.

“Monica, go call the Duke. The Vice Guild Master too.”

“Yes, understood.”

Monica went outside.

Rosetta asked me with a blank expression.

“…What? The Duke and Vice Guild Master? Don’t tell me…”

“Ah, Duke Shiri who heads the Lumen Trading Guild and the Vice Guild Master. They both happen to be at the temple right now. Since it’s come to this, let’s all talk together.”

While Rosetta’s soul was taking a trip, Rute and Jun Rudmin arrived at Monica’s call.

Seeing Rosetta frozen stiff, Rute nodded as if understanding the situation.

“Seeing that Baroness Flur came all this way, it must be about the potion issue.”

“Oh, you figured it out right away.”

“The Flur Family has left the most inquiries with the trading guild. I was going to tell you after the dedication ceremony ended.”

At his words about considering me who was busy with dedication ceremony preparations, I expressed my gratitude with my eyes.

“Personally, I recommend expanding business to the Southern Region. It’s a place that needs far more potions than the Western Region.”

Rosetta, who had been restless the whole time, apparently very uncomfortable sitting with a duke, suddenly raised her head.

Her desire for potions seemed to have overcome her discomfort.

“That’s right! The Southern Region is suffering from potion shortages, so there’s tremendous interest in Sun God potions! So they’ll sell very well!”

Seeing her eyes light up as she shouted, she must be truly desperate.

“The question is whether the potion making team can meet the quantity.”

Potions are still being made by two alchemists and one priest.

Including the priests who imbue holy power, there are more people on the production team, but the potions themselves had to be made by three people.

This meant there weren’t enough people to produce too large a quantity.

Of course, those money-grubbers would probably somehow meet the quantity…

But first, I had something to ask Rosetta.

“Lady Flur, may I ask you one thing?”

“Yes, please go ahead.”

“You said the frequency of monster appearances in the desert has increased?”

“That’s right.”

Rosetta nodded and slowly explained.

“Originally, the desert had strangely frequent monster appearances. Still, it wasn’t to a degree the Southern Region estates couldn’t handle, but recently it suddenly doubled.”

The Southern Region of the Empire contains the continent’s largest desert.

There’s a desert nation beyond the border on the other side, but it’s such a vast desert that even travel isn’t easy due to the distance.

The problem is that monsters appear particularly frequently in this vast desert.

Then what are demonic beasts?

They are creatures cursed by the gods. Vicious beings that endlessly crave life and seek to return everything to nothingness.

People don’t even know where these demonic beasts originate from, but only I, who read the original work, know the truth.

The Sun God’s ancient enemy and the main culprit trying to destroy this world.

‘Evil.’

It is because of that ‘Evil,’ which cannot be described by any other title, that demonic beasts came to be born.

Then what would be the reason these demonic beasts frequently appear in the Desert?

It’s because ‘Evil’s’ stronghold is located somewhere in the Desert.

There’s one problem.

Why are the demonic beasts already running rampant?
