The craftsmen looked busy, and now that I'd roughly figured out the reason, I parted from them and started moving again, since staying any longer might've gotten in their way.
From what I'd heard from them, it seems the workshop area was like that everywhere.
After all, a large order had come in during a busy period right after the rainy season.
And it wasn't just for one workshop—it was an order that needed the work split among multiple workshops... so of course it'd turn out like that.
Well... by spreading it out even further, they're keeping the workshops from getting overwhelmed, and the Merchant Guild seems to be paying attention to that too, so I guess it's fine?
"I thought I'd cleared out the warehouse inventory quite a bit... Did they newly procure it, or did they still have a lot stockpiled? Well... it's good to see things lively."
My equipment doesn't need any more work done to it, and other than maintenance, I probably won't be placing any orders here.
It's a good thing if they're making money.
"Now then... is this area about enough? At this rate, the other streets seem to be in the same situation."
Having looked at several streets, I decided to leave the workshop area.
Maybe it was for communication between workshops, but I could see apprentices running around and wagons carrying materials and products, so it was probably like that across the whole workshop area.
To leave the workshop area for the time being, I headed straight north.

"Good work—"
"!? Vice-Captain Sera!?"
After passing north through the workshop area and reaching the city wall, I climbed up to the walkway on top and called out to a soldier moving along it, but I startled him—maybe because it was quite rare for me to be here.
I just called out to him normally, so it's not really my fault... but this place being what it is, I felt a little bad.
"Sorry, sorry. I startled you, didn't I... Have you noticed anything unusual from up here?"
Whenever I meet a soldier keeping watch from atop the city wall, this is something I ask every time... I avoid the busier seasons, so this is a good chance.
"Anything unusual? ... People were gathering around the workshops in the north district, but was that you, Vice-Captain Sera?"
To my question, he looked down at the workshop area and turned his gaze toward other areas, and after seeming to ponder for a bit, he said that.
"I came through the workshop area and met with craftsmen and all, so... maybe I was the reason. Up until then, there was nothing unusual, right?"
"Yes. For about the last thirty minutes."
"Ah... then I was the cause of that. Well, so other than that, there was nothing unusual in the city or outside?"
"Yes. The number of people visiting the capital has increased since yesterday as well... but they've entered without any confusion. There's been no sign of combat, and the north highway appears calm."
After hearing his report, I moved away from the city wall and went outside the city.
Then, when I turned my gaze to the north gate and the highway extending from it, there were wagons waiting in front of the gate for entry, and wagons and adventurers heading toward the capital.
Just as the soldier said, they didn't seem flustered, and I could tell they'd traveled here safely.
"I don't know what'll happen after the sun goes down, but at least there's no sign of monsters coming out onto the highway... Oops."
Maybe they noticed me peering down at the gate area, as the people waiting were pointing this way and raising their voices.
At this rate, it's likely to cause a commotion...
"I'll head somewhere else around here."
"Indeed. If the Vice-Captain is here, the people waiting outside might try to come this way. At this hour, there should be many patrol soldiers out in the north district's foreign residential district. Why not go take a look there?"
When I returned to the inside of the wall and was talking with the soldier, he gave me information on a place that was just right to go check next.
I answered, "I'll do that," and went back down to the ground.
