At first the caravan planned to leave the village the next morning and continue their journey but both the merchants and the guards were way too tired after encountering a S rank monster. So they wanted to take one day's rest before going out again. The guild employees, who were in charge of the main materials also agreed to this as they were also tired and thought that hasty going to the capital might create some suspicion.
Just like that alongside the whole tired crew one another member who was not tired at all also got a holiday. Yes, that was Elena. At the first half of the day Elena spent the time by playing with the children of the village. Then when the children's playtime was over, Elena thought that to spend the rest of the time before lunch, she could go and visit other villages in the vicinity.
