Bring the escort carriage and the carriage we ride will proceed to the plain. This carriage is quite cold because it has only a roof on the carriage. Lying in the order of Esther, me, Thio, Nicolas and Celine, we sat shoulder-to-shoulder waiting for the carriage to arrive in the town of Tolfe.
And we're not the only ones sitting on the cargo bay. Most guards walk around the convoy rustling, but there are a few guards sitting across from us as a shift along the way.
Though a replacement, we are escorting criminals. They all looked seriously at the Han (cousin) on the mission - never, and the face facing us was loose and sloppy. These women are all beautiful, but I don't know how they feel.
Celine has a mysterious atmosphere and a full-bodied body that can be seen from above the cold shield. Tio is full of healthy, youthful, airy, healthy skin. An ester of cool beauty (looks beautiful) with beautiful silver hair. And then there's Nicolas, but I want to believe that there are no criminals who like Nicolas. Anyway, it is so high-level that the cautious wildlife thief accidentally took action.
As the only man in that beautiful place, I might be able to turn to one or two eyes of jealousy at my age, but I don't think there's anything special about a nine-year-old. There was no one looking at me as if it were air.
In the meantime, the young guards called out to Celine as if they had made up their minds.
"Ah, ahh! Have you decided where to eat tonight!? The two of us will be off duty after the convoy, and if you don't mind coming with us!
Aren't you used to inviting people? My face is bright red. Perhaps this young guard told his neighbor's horn-cutting macho guards to take the lead and pamper. The surrounding guards scrambled. Goddamn it, we're past it! Something like that. But...
"I don't want to. Please hit the others."
"Hauu...!
Céline couldn't help but complain about a man. The game ended in haste. The surrounding guards seem to be stroking down their chests to be glad they didn't have to speak up.
"Well, don't say that. Let's go together. I know a lot of reputable stores in town, and of course we'll pay for the mess."
Macho next door rushed to the obvious disadvantage. But Celine turned away silently, not saying that she had already replied. The blue line floats on Macho's forehead when she sees it.
"Ohhhh! Why don't you do something about it?
I wonder if there are any senpai members. Macho, who was in a bad mood, roughed up her voice, but Celine turned away with no answer.
"Oooh! Are you listening!?
…………
"Chi......!
As expected, I can't argue any further on this occasion. After Macho's tongue, silence ruled the space. Yeah, it's awkward.
Looking around, Tio was convinced that Celine was watching Napa at her parents' tavern in Lev Village. Nicolas is obsessed with sexual harassment, saying, "It feels a little superior to be able to touch Celine without putting the nappa on her teeth..." Esters with low interpersonal skills are orange.
Speaking of which, I felt like exhaling because it was a little tough to spend time in this air until the guards changed in this horse-drawn carriage.
― ― And Thio shouted in a bright tone.
"Hey, guys. If you haven't decided where you're going this evening, do you know" Freesia "?
"What, Freesia? I had Senpai Machel take me once... Could it be?"
When the young man who had been sunk by Celine restarted and asked about Tio's face, Tio nodded with a smile.
Damn it. I'll be working there from today. Come and see me tonight, if you like. Maybe I'll do my apprenticeship and show my face a little. "
"Heh... In that case, we're going to Freesia tonight. Hey!
Macho Macho Pisen grabs a young man's shoulder and shows his white teeth.
"Fufu, thank you. Drink plenty.
"I'll see you later. I like you. I think you can drink as many as you want. Too bad you're an apprentice!
"Oh, you're good. In that case, if you see oniichan, I'll ask the store manager to take a seat. Say you're a good customer who can drink anything."
"Hahaha, please soften your hands!
Theo then involved the two Nampa men and the surrounding guards, and the atmosphere turned completely back to a more relaxed atmosphere than at first.
I wonder if this kind of trouble is handy just because I was born and raised in a tavern. Celine was secretly thanking Thio later, whether she felt bad about the air or not.
I'll say goodbye to Tio when I get to Tolfe. I was a little worried because I saw weaknesses during the raid, but it didn't seem to bother me.
◇ ◇ ◇
We arrived in the town of Tolfe after noon. Recently, I have been staying in the village for a long time, so I miss the cobbled roads and crowds. Estelle is looking around as she moves her ears up and down in a different scene.
I think the town of Tolfe is a little bigger than the town of Fatia where my parents live. The town of Tolfe seems to be a little closer to the territorial capital, so of course. I'm not sorry at all!
Can I come around here?
Passing through the gate, the carriage stopped at a slightly less crowded location, and the captain who was sitting on the podium looked back at us.
"As I heard, the bandits who have been held captive have not been necked for the bounty, but they still pay a small gratuity. I'll make some paperwork for you today and take it to the Adventurers Guild, so you'll still get your reward tomorrow."
The guards are soldiers under the authority of the town. However, you can redeem the rewards of bandits who have not lost their bounty in the Adventurer Alliance. They say this is only possible because the city and the Alliance are in a cooperative relationship. Alliance cards can be used as ID when entering town. Looks like we talked in advance this time, and we were able to get through the gate without doing anything.
"--And Machel, Kohi. Don't overframe me because I'm off duty. I'll start training tomorrow morning. If you smell alcohol, you won't understand."
"Ha, ha!
The two men who were escorting the convoy replied upright.
Then the carriage dropped us off and left. After seeing the guards wave at Thio from the carriage and the bandits staring at us in contrast, Thio looks back at us.
"Well, you really took care of me. I think I've benefited from a barrel of alcohol that I can't repay..."
"Don't worry about it. For us, it's easy. Besides, I was saved earlier.... I have to reflect a little too ~"
Celine scratches her cheeks unfortunately, but Thio smiles happily.
"Haha, Celine, your sister doesn't seem to have any toads at all, and you're getting tired of nappies, right? I can't help but say no."
"Eh, does that look like it?
"I can see it. I don't know what it is, but it seems solid at first sight, and there are gaps... That's why you attract extra boobs. Celine, why don't you make a toilet?
"Wow, I'm having the most fun as an adventurer right now! You can make one like that in a few years!
Celine replied slightly angrily to Tio's words, but Tio leans her neck.
"Years? Strangely specific. Do you have plans?
"Eh!? Nothing else!? Somehow!"
"That's right... Well, then, I'm going to go to my uncle's shop..."
Tio leaned back to be pressured by Celine's sword and crouched down beside me and slapped his ear gently.
"When you grow up, you'll definitely come and visit. I'll give you plenty of service.... adult."
And when she stood up and said to herself, "A few years later... oh, that's it!", she smiled a lot at Celine.
Well then, I'll go. I'll see you later. "
Thio waved his hand and walked away lightly. Celine asks surprisingly as she drops it off.
"... hey, Marc, what did they say?
Hmm? Come to the store when you grow up.
"Is that all?"
That's right.
I understand that it is better not to say anything about adult service. Celine murmured and turned her gaze to Tio's back. Nicolas' story arrives.
Looks like you can enjoy free alcohol and free oneesan. I'll definitely go someday.
I see. I don't know when, but I'm sure it will be.
When Tio waved his hand around the corner and saw him off until he could no longer see him, I shook a little goodbye and talked to Celine.
"So Celine. You're going to the inn now, aren't you?
But Celine shook her head slightly.
"What are you talking about? I've already booked an inn, so you can go at dinner. There's more to it than that, isn't there? Drinks. Drinks!
Yeah, that's right. I promised to go to the liquor store and bring the liquor in an item box. I completely forgot because of the banditry.
"Hey, where do we start? There was a nice shop on the other street, isn't there? Let's go from there first!
With Celine holding my hand, I was going to be dragged back into the liquor store.
