The time is about the middle of the morning and noon.

From the heads of four adventurers and one princess walking down the streets that cut through the woods, there was pounding sunshine.

"Hey, it's a beautiful day. It's a great picnic day."

Eileen walking beside me in a juvenile journey leaks that feeling.

I get a little worried and ask her for confirmation.

"... I'll make sure, do you understand that this journey is a mission under a royal order?

"Uh, what the hell is that! I know, I know, I know! I'm already seventeen, so don't let them treat you like a child forever!

Eileen showed me a puffy, angry gesture to my point.

How childish the trick is, and as far as I'm concerned, I can't stop laughing.

─ ─ We received a nomination quest from Eileen, and we were leaving King's Capital with her on our way to Count Goldert's territory as soon as possible.

The nomination quest we received was "Assisting Knight Irene and helping her accomplish her mission".

It is very thorough, but there are no problems to this extent because it is based on mutual trust.

The reward amount for this nomination quest is one hundred and fifty gold coins for the party.

In addition to this, travel expenses on the road are paid.

It should be noted that the amount of this reward is four times the amount of the price paid to an Adventurer Party with three E Ranks and one F Rank. "Sorry. I'd really like to get more out of it, but it's this amount that I was critically convinced by multiplying it with finance," Eileen said.

Now, having received the nomination quest in that manner, it is now Eileen and we in the relationship between hired and hired people.

So now I'm in a position to support Eileen.

Eileen, her employer, turned to me in the middle of a conversation.

"So, Will, what do you think we should do?

"... I don't know what to do, on what?

"It's a way of attacking ~. Even though Count Goldart works evil, it's not clear if it's true, is it? As Will told me, I don't need soldiers, so I increased my budget, so I applied, so I don't have soldiers, but I can't help you if you don't suddenly come into the mansion. I wonder what happened."

That's what I said, Eileen, who puts her arms together and tries to think hmm.

Though I'm not sure if I'm actually thinking meaningful.

Eileen is not as good as Satsuki, one way or the other, the type of person who lives in the world of martial arts.

Though I wear some upbringing in my position, I have long been a daughter who doesn't like brainwork enough to steal the tutor's eyes during study time and sneak out of the castle, wanting to catch me and play knight tricks.

In our childhood, when we were acting together, we thought there was something "It's Will's job to think about!" I recall being thrown round.

I miss it when I say I miss it, but at the same time even the memories that were swinging in tyranny came back to life, feeling indescribable.

Well, aside from that.

"I don't know how to attack..."

I get into thinking with the trick of putting my hand on my chin.

It's something I've already thought about a few times, but I'll check again.

How do you enter the castle of Count Goldart?

As Eileen says, there will be something just harsh to look at socially by attacking the Count's mansion by force and defeating the villains and settling one case.

Eileen, who is moving with her royal life, is in a state where she keeps part of the king's authority, so to speak.

If Eileen hits badly, that will hurt King Andrew's authority and trust from the people.

Under those assumptions, "the Count succeeded because he used bandits to destroy villages in his own territory" is too irrational an external story when describing it to the surrounding nobles and the people.

At the very least, to not find out the truth is to not be able to move.

If you think about it, the means to be taken...

"Again, I guess we should take a positive approach here"

"What do you mean, a positive attack?

"Get in the Count's mansion peacefully and listen to the circumstances. I can't predict what will happen if I don't get into the dragon hole, but I don't get dragon eggs."

"Oh well. Then let's go." "

Eileen says that in an innocent way, and she smiles at me.

It's kind of weirdly tense.

"... why do you seem so happy, you?

"Eh heh. It's been a long time since Will and I acted together like this, and I miss it."

"I don't know what it feels like. We're not children forever. You're royal in the first place, so shouldn't you wear something a little more dignified or tasteful?

"Buh, I'm out, Will's sermon! But it's like this because it's in front of Will, but I'm pretty popular with the people and all the knights, right?" Cool, "" Rin, "" I want to be trampled "or something."

"What's the last of it, before I mention it? What about being a princess?"

"Ah too, that's good! I can travel around the corner with Will and forget the princess's position, so take a good look at it now!

Eileen finally started wasting her time saying that.

Damn, I have trouble showing this and telling you not to treat children forever.

Now, on the other hand, there were three of us walking a little away from us: Satsuki, Mi and Cyril.

The three of them solidified and talked about something.

"Guru... you're a little childhood friendly, so fuck Will for this look...!

"Satsuki, you took your position."

"But around not trying to break in there, Satsuki is also surprisingly a good kid or something"

"Hey, it doesn't seem like there's room for me to get in..."

"I don't know how Satsuki can read the air."

... and in the way I said it, there was a conversation there that seemed to be quite enjoyable.

In doing so, the five of us proceeded on our journey to Count Goldart's territory.
