"Grandma? Grandpa? Duke Darcy? Why are you all in here? And what's with these groups of people with you?" Elaina was not expecting to see them. After all, they should be busy defending the city right now.
"What we are doing here? Of course to help out with the clearing operation! Would we just leave our granddaughter and a few noncombatants to fight alone with these monsters that even regular adventurers are having trouble with?" Grandpa grinned as he picked up one of the cores on the ground and threw it into the air, where Duke Darcy then proceeded to shoot it and break it to pieces.
"What about the city? Shouldn't you guys be protecting the guild or the palace at this point?" Elaina frowned.
"Don't worry about it, the guild has no shortage of capable people who can subjugate the monsters attacking. We needed all the manpower to protect the populace around the town so we have deployed everyone to keep the town safe," Grandma Liliana answered.
