One big yawn while rubbing my sleepy eyes.
Because I sat down and slept, my neck hit my shoulders and my body was all over me.
Gurgh, and stretches out his body with a strange voice.
On the ceiling that accidentally plundered my fingertips, I remembered that I was in a carriage.
"... that"
The carriage is quiet.
You don't shake, you don't hear the horse's hoof, you don't hear the wheel.
If you look closely, there was no Riesha or Karina.
Strong sunshine burns the back of my eyes when I try to get my face out of the carriage.
As I narrowed my eyes, I saw the sun, which was already approaching the top of the sky, and realized that I was now before noon.
"Karina's one, I told you she'd wake me up..."
The purpose of this one is to eavesdrop on the conversation of the guards taking the tariffs from a distance.
All we need is Risha, and an escort to protect her from monsters and thieves.
I mean, there's no way I can fight like Karina without as good an ear as Reesha. I honestly have nothing to do when I leave.
I know that's not why, but when they leave you like this, it just hurts a little bit.
"I know it's a concern to give you a break."
Out of the carriage blurring about that.
The man with the round nose, who was sprinkling cigarettes away from his horse, waved when he noticed me.
"Hey, Rosie. They told me not to wake you up. Don't feel bad."
"Never mind, because it's my downfall. Which way are you two going?
There, and I see the tobacco pointing ahead.
Just in a position to hide in the trees, there was Riesha and Karina on a rug made of cloth.
"Oh, yeah, yeah. Please take the cigarette butt back, as you don't want to leave as much trace as possible of what was stationed here. It would be helpful if you could bury the horse shit a little further away, discreetly."
Even though it's off the main road, it could be a hassle later when we find evidence that the guards in the tax collection were in a visible position.
It's hard work, I've never crossed anything.
"Ooh. Okay."
He bows his head gently to the one who starts picking up the crust and the sucker in the way he's eaten, and heads to the two of them.
Karina noticed this way as we approached a distance of about 10 meters.
"Morning, Rosie. Did you sleep well?
"... thanks to you"
Even appealing to dissatisfaction with a grumpy face is intercepted with a naughty grin.
I lowered my back over the rug in a small sigh.
"What's the end?
"Nothing yet. 'Cause there's a lot of carriages in and out, and I think I'm seriously working."
"Oh well. I guess I missed my expectations, and I thought the tariffs had reduced the number of carriages."
Considering I'm on a shift all day, the timing of the shift is probably dawn and sunset.
I was expecting the guards to start chatting if the number of carriages was low, but that one seems to have come off.
"... I guess my next chance is at lunch. Maybe we'll split it up into a few teams, so let's narrow our focus there."
Pomp, and slap Riesha on the shoulder.
"Ah, Rosie. Good morning, you're finally up."
He was so focused that he didn't even realize I existed.
I'm just trying to listen to the conversation I'm looking for at such a distance, naturally.
"Reesha and Karina are terrible. I thought you could have woken me up.
"Rosie's in charge of brainwork, so Karina says it doesn't make sense that she can't turn her head because she's sleepless at times of need."
"It's the right material."
Turn your bitter face to Karina, who flies winks.
I was watching how we were. I was laughing at Risha as she shrugged.
"Oh hon. Reesha, I'll let you know when they start eating, so rest till then."
"Okay, thank you."
Ugh, and take a breath and rub it on my back, too, Liesha.
My heart pounded over the high body temperature and comfortable weight transmitted over my clothes.
"... why don't you"
Concentrate.
If the mind goes out, the fire will cool down again.
There's a distance there from here to where the guards are.
I can't even use lip reading to the extent that a person's face is critical to discerning.
I wonder if there are any magic or magic aids to improve my eyesight, next time I'll even ask Roy.
"Another carriage."
As far as this is concerned, the traffic is quite high.
Of course, merchants have a wide variety of facial touches, including a bunch of adventurers and children they think migrate.
There really are so many different people here, and I waited for the time to come.
