Gatagoto.

Go to the capital while being swayed by a carriage that can accommodate large numbers of people.

There were eight other passengers besides us, and the air was calm.

"Sometimes this is good."

Usually it's a hasty journey.

Because it wasn't very conspicuous, I was traveling in a carriage that was out of Nosworthy.

Five adventurers were escorted around the carriage.

It is their job to prepare for a monster attack that may happen forever.

"Will this business be profitable?

Travel with fourteen passengers.

I also hire a guard, and it's hard to say it's profitable.

Well, what do you think?

The old gentleman next door responded.

Sylvia learns from a friendly response that he apparently came from a rural village to see the faces of his sons and his wife and grandchildren living in Nosworthy.

I would have stayed for a few days.

However, there was a huge sea moon raid and they decided to go back to the village quickly.

Oh, my God.

"It's okay with us. I'm worried about my grandchildren living in that city."

The devil's sea moon broke the harbor to the point where it was useless.

The raid itself succeeded in stopping at the harbor, but since it panicked, the city has suffered a lot from evacuees.

However, people's expressions were bright because many people watched the giant sea moon disappear by sea snakes.

"Thanks to you, we can evacuate the carriage, and we really appreciate it."

"Yeah, I really have to thank the church."

Ride carriages cannot be carried out by passengers' fares alone.

But it can still be maintained because the church has subsidies. The union of riding carriages was maintained with the intention of making it easy for ordinary people who could not travel long distances to get away.

"Are you adventurers?

"Yes"

"Do you have any requests?

"Ah, that's not it. I'm going to go see someone I know this time."

Sylvia talks intimately with an old woman.

Removing simple confectionery from the storage ring will improve the mood of the old woman.

Oh, you're good.

"Thank you... hmm?

When Sylvia handed over the cookies, Sylvia noticed that they were being stared at by a boy sitting in a remote seat.

"Want some?"

If Sylvia offers you a cookie, the boy comes closer and receives it.

"Ah, thank you!

The mother who was sitting next to him instead of the boy who had begun eating without saying thank you seemed sorry.

"This kid...."

Her mother is staring at the boy in a daze and stroking the girl who is sleeping on her lap.

My sister and brother. My sister, who got bored with the carriage, is completely asleep.

It's a monster!

At that time, you hear the anger of the adventurer outside the carriage.

Stronghorn Deer (Stronghorn Deer) appears. Horns have developed differently, and the boss who leads a large herd is the bigger the horns appear to develop than the body.

But there were four Stronghorndians attacking. It's more like a family than a herd, not a threat to five adventurers.

The coach has stopped for safety, and one remains to deal with the raid with four.

You are also calm against the raid.

"Do raids happen often?

"It wasn't before."

Sometimes they reached the capital without being attacked at all.

But there's been a lot of it in the last six months.

When I saw humans, there were more monsters I couldn't help but attack.

The monster's ferocity was increasing.

"Six months...."

I had a strange feeling during that period.

Phew

Talking to the Emperor, the adventurer who finished fighting the monster returns.

One remained alert to further raids, but ended up in one raid.

"Nina"

Her mother is trying to shake the girl sleeping, but she keeps sleeping without moving even after the monster raids.

Eventually, my younger brother was bored because his sister was asleep. I borrowed half of my mother's lap and went to sleep.

We arrive at a village after a while.

This is the village where the old couple live and where they rest today.

The trip to the capital is scheduled for four days. There is still a long way to go, and it takes time to travel by carriage.

"It's a village with nothing, but take your time."

It's a village, but there's an inn for a coach ride.

It's not a luxurious welcome, but it's enough for you to rest.

"Here we are."

"Mmm...."

A girl who had been asleep in a carriage woke up with her mother shaking her body and rubbing her eyes.

When I noticed that it was getting dark outside, I suddenly felt hungry and pressed my stomach.

Then I realized that my brother was sleeping just like me.

"Dollar"

Trying to shake and wake yourself up like you were.

Mother and child also need to get to the inn as soon as possible, so we have to get off the carriage.

I'm in trouble.

But my brother won't wake up at all.

Next up, my brother stays asleep.

A troubled mother tries to come down with a boy in her arms.

I'll take your place.

"No, that's not... why would a stranger do such a thing..."

"We were on the same carriage. If you're in trouble, I'll help."

Mother is connecting one hand to the girl.

It is hard to hold a sleeping boy with one hand, even if he is young. I don't mind if I take you to a nearby inn.

"Still, you sleep well."

You're used to it.

"I still have a lot of kids at home."

It's easy to hold a sleeping child up.

"You're really sleeping well."

You can hear regular sleep thanks to your face near your shoulders.

"Excuse me."

Confirm the condition by placing your hand on a boy with a serious expression on his face.

Invite Noel further and tell her to look at the boy's condition.

"This is...."

"No, nothing. You must be tired from riding a carriage."

"You're still a child, aren't you?"

Bring the children to the inn laughing at each other.

Her mother earns a living by embroidering in a village ahead of her and selling it to the city. My father was an adventurer, but because of his low ranking, his income was unstable and he often left his house for a long time.

For that reason, a mother who couldn't just leave a child at home took her child out to Nosworthy to deliver the embroidery.

"Thank you."

Hand over the boy who is still asleep and the mother and child enter the inn room.

We'll rent two rooms for each of us and sit on the bed.

"So, what did you notice?

If you have a conversation, you can have a meeting even in another room.

The concern is that England and Noel noticed when they saw the boy.

"Unfortunately, her body was empty."

It's physically alive. But I can't find the soul inside at all. "

"What about it?"

Instead of being a memento, I was stunned enough to accidentally say words out of my mouth.
