Walk through the capital of the kingdom of Kuzela.

“How do we get there?”

“The carriage is the best. As long as you pay, you'll take care of it."

"More than usual," added Quena.

That's all it takes to get me on board.

Normally, I'd make money by accepting parallel requests to escort me to my destination. I don't know what I would do if I revoked the hero's trust. You might think that.

I guess the Beastman tribe wasn't far from the kingdom of Kuzela, was it?

"I'll be there in about three days." With your transfer magic, you'll be able to travel back and forth once you get there. "

"If there's nothing, then it's a story." At that distance, the magic power consumption is so intense that it can't be repeated..... "

Even now that we're having a conversation.

- My gaze hurts.

There is no damage to the skin. However, the sensation of a thorn in my heart doesn't go away.

You should have made it a less crowded road.

Quenna mumbles to herself, wondering if she thought the same thing.

This way is faster, right?

Well, yeah.

Well then, even over here--Ah.

The smell you remember tickles your nose.

He's a skewer butcher. You haven't eaten a single meal since you returned to King Kuzela.

At last, I tried to speak with a normal voice.

But Quena stopped me from raising my hand. That's where I notice. I'd better keep my voice down. It's also for the skewer butcher's grandfather.

The stiffness of the chest grows. If that's what it feels like, then Quenna should have chosen a different path.

"--Hey, it's Zed!" I don't know. Can I eat it? I told you it would be free for a long time to come, didn't I? "

"Hey, idiot. Speak to him..."

"Shut the fuck up. Whoever does what they want, it doesn't matter."

For a moment, the lacrimal glands loosened.

It's the same voice as usual.

Even if I was stopped by my uncle at the store next door, he still smiles at me.

"I-I just didn't notice. Well then, I'll give you five."

"Ahhh? Are you out of your mind?" It smells so good that it's happily transported to the continent! "

You're going to crash into me.

It hurts a little, but strangely, my chest aches and pains disappeared.

Then he prepared five bottles for me.

"Come on, eat properly."

"Thanks... yes, five copper coins"

"I don't care about the money." You promised me when you saved my son, didn't you? "

"It's okay, take it." If it's free all the time, I'll crush the store. "

”You... I'll let you have it if you want to”

You take the copper coin in a crude manner.

"But let me thank you for protecting my son." He asked me to thank him, too. If you were a brave man, you'd have had a chance. "

Quena grips the hem as she speaks.

"It's time to go. It would take three days for an adventurer with a sword to go missing....."

"Oh, right. I'm sorry, kid. I have to go."

"You're an adventurer, aren't you?" Go, go, go, go. "

I was smitten on my back with a laugh.

There is no discomfort. Rather, it feels as good as being pushed against the back.

"I'll go."

I felt strange, but I spilled a smile.

Then walk for a while.

"Thanks, Quena."

"What happened suddenly?"

"No, you don't like being with me." I'm glad you stayed at my house. "

"I've been hated since I was born. I'm used to it, but it's harder to stop Sheila from attacking you.”

Quena shrugged her shoulders.

"I see.... but thank you."

"Tell Sheila, too." You don't look like you're thinking about anything, and you're thinking about it. There's a lot of hard things going on with that girl, so I'm serious about saving you... "

Say it and stop.

Then I shook my head to the left and right and smiled.

"This continuation is not what I'm talking about, is it?"

That's how you reflect.

But he still had a sad face somewhere. Or maybe she regrets what she said. It seemed more self-centered than taking Sheila into consideration.

"Ahh..."

Ambiguously nodded.
