Theodore and Aurora had indeed come down to the southern region with the intention of offering strong support. Above all, their arrival boosted the morale of the survivors in the southern area.

[Sinclair and the Crown Prince, along with Dr. Ludfisher, who developed the cure, are all in the south! Could Graydon’s stronghold be shifting to the southern region...?]

I chuckled as I read the newspaper that had been issued today.

"To the point where the discussion of a stronghold shift is even coming up?"

Even Irene had said so, but the fuss among the southern people seemed to be the biggest in Graydon. In any case, it was true that the people who had inadvertently played a huge role in social reconstruction were all in the south.

A small party was held at the lord’s castle, thanks to the supplies brought by the reinforcements. The banquet hall was fairly crowded, as survivors from around the Luaton area had gathered. It was the first time I had seen a party since the fall of the world. Although, calling it a party would be a bit embarrassing since it was so modest.

“My goodness, it’s Cherry Sinclair.”
