Ee, Teni Shippai? Seikou?

Susak and South, who were carrying Yoichi, were flying westward over Jana's forest for several hours.

It's a vermillion bird that can exceed the speed of sound if it's serious, but it flies slowly and slowly.

Suzaku's back was quite comfortable, so the members ate and took a break without ever stepping down.

The Vermilion Birds fly without rest and recover with Amy's abilities, so there's nothing wrong with them for now.

You can get over it, can't you?

Yoichi muttered anxiously, looking out over the forest.

Only the best direction to cross the forest was examined in advance with [appraisal Ω], but I did not dare to know anything more.

It's one of the pleasures of worrying about where you're going.

That's how I continued to fly, and eventually the sun began to tilt.

Unlike the Earth, this world has no time difference, and the sun sets at the same time, wherever it is.

And the forest broke off around the time when the sun was about to touch the horizon.

Oh, the desert!

Beyond the gaze was a desert illuminated by the sunset.

It's not a rocky desert like the one around Mailgrad. It's the desert.

How else can we get past this forest except for us?

Looking back at the forest, Yoichi smiled bitterly.

It should have been close to 10,000 kilometers at a straight line.

At that distance, I could cut open a forest with an unusually high level of regeneration while defeating monsters.

Or perhaps we have to wait for the invention of a new means of flight that can be used in our world.

With that in mind, Yoichi continued to fly over the desert.

Yoichi-san, yo!

As the sun almost hides behind the horizon and rapidly reaches the night, Shuri cries out from above South.

Before she pointed, she saw the lights of the city.

Well, I don't know what to do.

If we keep on board the Susaks, we'll be in town in a few minutes.

However, if we suddenly get on a monster and get closer to the city, we will definitely be on the alert.

If possible, I'd like to avoid any trouble.

In that case, getting off at an appropriate place, riding a car to a place that is almost invisible from the town, and switching from there to walking is probably the easiest way to get around.

But when that happens, we may not be able to reach it in a day.

Then we should get off here once, rest at the motorhome, update the home points, [return] to Japan, and resume tomorrow...

"Wait, the noon desert is dangerous..."

Maybe we should wait for it to get a little darker, then fly closer and then move on into the night.

Whatever it was, we were going to go down here and talk when we tried to call out to the members of the South.

Yoichi-sama, look! Across town!

Yoichi, who had been told to do so by Alana, turned away from her.

"Is that...!?"

I saw something beyond the town.

"Is that... something you're riding on?"

About ten people straddled a bipedal beast resembling an ostrich, and seemed to be racing towards the town.

However, there is something wrong with the condition.

Could she be chasing you?

Looking closely, it seemed that the first one and the last one were being chased by the others.

“South! Head over there and make sure you don't find it out of town!”

Alana ordered South to do it before she knew what to do.

"Hey, Alana!?"

"You can't just leave me alone!" It's time to think!! "

Ignoring Yoichi's voice as he tried to hold back, South speeds up. The other two agree with Alana.

Susak!

Currrrr!

When Yoichi calls out, Suzaku also raises his speed and chases after South.

The herd was only proud of its speed, and the distance between the two birds narrowed, but it was better to reach the destination than to catch up.

Without saying anything, the South lowered its altitude and Suzaku chased after it.

Then South lowered its speed with altitude and landed into a group of people who ran on a riding beast.

"Wow!?"

What was that, a monster!?

"Hey, don't freak out!!"

While the sand soared due to the wind pressure, both the riding beast and the person fluttered at the unidentified presence that suddenly appeared.

”KAAAA!”

Then, the riding beast that was running at the front also stopped suddenly in surprise, so the person who was riding was thrown out.

Oops!

Susak appeared to slide into it, and Yoichi hugged the person he was chasing before he fell to the ground.

(... is it a woman?)

All those who were running in the riding beast, including her, wore cloaks and hoods, and their mouths were covered with cloth.

Therefore, the gender was unknown, but the high screams and the feeling of hugging her earlier revealed that this person was a woman.

Are you okay?

Yoichi called out, and the stiff woman's body relaxed.

Hmm, thanks to you.

It was a low, husky voice.

Yoichi lowered the woman in Suzaku's back.

"Who are you guys!?"

Someone's voice flies from a calm group.

When you ask people about their names, isn't it polite to call yourself yourself first?

In response to that voice, Alana, who had descended from the South, asked calmly.

The two remaining men landed in the sand and watched.

Yoichi also descended Suzaku, followed by the woman.

She judged Yoichi and the others who had broken in as not enemies, but she seemed to be calm.

"What are you doing!!"

One of them raised his voice and pulled out the sword that was lifted from his waist. Then there were a few people. All of them were single-edged swords.

No, no, no, no.

From behind, a man comes forward with a gentle footstep. Probably the leader of the group.

"Looks like a stranger, but you know who she is, and you want to get in our way?"

In response, Alana turned around lightly, glanced at the person standing beside Yoichi, and immediately returned her gaze.

"Hmm, I just found out that he's a woman."

When he heard the answer, the leader man snorted his nose.

"He doesn't even know what's going on. Don't stick his neck in it." Get out of there and give her to me. "

"Beyond the fact that I don't know the circumstances, I can't just follow you." At least you look like a bunch of ungodly people hunting down a woman in my eyes. "

The man narrows his eyes at what he says is a group of ungodly people.

"Hey, woman... do you think this Lanvald, the head of the 2nd Knight Regiment, is the same as the bandits everywhere?"

"The Knights seem a little barbaric."

"... you insult us."

The man who called himself Ranvald quietly said so and pulled out his sword from his waist.

It was the same blade as the others, but with a wide blade and a long reach.

"I say again, give me the wicked girl."

Oh, I guess they say a lot of bad girls, huh

Before Alana could return to Ranvaldo's words, the woman beside Yoichi said so and took a step forward.

"I've tried to harm Her Royal Highness many times, even though she's not a bad girl!"

Ranvald releases sharp words while pointing the tip of his sword at the woman.

I'll make two corrections.

After receiving a bullet from Ranvaldo, she stepped forward in a calm manner.

"One, I don't remember."

"Many of you have witnessed your attempts to harm the Empress!" Besides, the testimony of Her Majesty the Queen herself-- "

Two.

She quietly blocked Ranvald's ranting words.

The voice was full of majesty. Even though the knight who pulled out the sword had to shut up, it was such a word.

"In the first place, that little girl is not the Princess Wang, etc."

"You! How disrespectful of me to call you a little girl!!"

"Well, let's just say that he's not the princess of the king." What inconvenience would it be for me to call the daughter of a junior aristocrat a little girl? "

The woman answers the man who shakes her shoulders in anger with a cold look.

The majority of both faces were covered with cloth and I couldn't read their faces, but the woman's eyes seemed to be faintly laughing.

Oh dear, the Crown Prince is also the Crown Prince.

"What...?"

"I can't even say that I'm dumb enough to cover my fiancée's innocent sins when only that kind of appearance is entangled in my daughter in the middle of the country."

Ranvald turns to the woman who spins her words and turns to her bloodied eyes.

"You... oh no sin, but if you don't remember why did you run away!?"

"I don't think that stupid prince will be able to make a proper judgment."

"Not only the Princess, but also the Prince...!"

"I'm telling you, you didn't mean to escape from the beginning, did you?" At the very least, there was a foolish thing that stood in my way to the Chancellery... oh yeah, that's right. "

There, the woman narrowed her eyes and turned her eyes towards Ranvaldo in ridicule.

"At that time, it was the knight commander who handled my path." I don't care about anything but the Prince's friend... Well, what was his name again? It's too small, and it's hard to remember. "

I wonder if we're going to make a fool of the Commander of the Regiment!

So Ranvald rushed to the woman, but Alana stopped him.

"Get out of my way! You were listening to me!?" She's a great sinner trying to harm royalty and get away with her sins!! "

"There seems to be a discrepancy between the two sides?" We can't judge strangers. "

If you're aware of strangers, don't stick your head in!

"I don't think so. A large group of armed men surrounded one woman. I can't pretend not to look at you."

Ranvald, who was exhaling from his shoulders, exhaled to calm himself down.

And he fell upon his shoulder, and humbled himself lightly, and lifted up his face again, and found Alana in the centipede.

Just say it again, get out of the way.

What if I say no?

"I'll catch you all."

Well, what are we going to do when we're captured?

"Hmm..."

In response to Alana's question, Ranvald snorted his nose and answered nothing.

I couldn't even read my expression because of the cloth that covered my face.

"Alana"

Yoichi called out to him.

When Alana turned to you, Yoichi gave a steep expression and nodded silently.

I see.

Alana sighed as she returned her gaze to Ranvaldo.
