I Said Make My Abilities Average!

"Okay, shuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

"" "Oh!

It's a mile's ordinance I like like like this, three carriages that started moving.

When I say carriage, it has a proper front (mollusc) and I can't really tell it from a distance from a cheap passenger carriage. Well, with three in a row and no horseback escort appearance, it's obvious to anyone that it's the carriage of the smallest unit of merchants...

Personnel organization consists of three wagons, three 'what a merchant'. And three lords and four, the Red Oath, hunters hired by the escort.

All carriages stand at two heads.

In imperial territory with many ramps, it is desirable to have at least two heads that can afford traction. If you can afford the money and want to take a stable travel speed and a higher safety factor.

And of course, this merchant squad had no intention of sacrificing time or safety to save some budget.

Normally, the merchants would ride each carriage one at a time, but there was no point in them doing so, not even the real merchants, and all three of them were on the same carriage, the second carriage in the center, to distract the boredom during the monotonous journey and to be able to consult with all sorts of people.

If it is true, the 'Red Vow', the escort, should have ridden the same carriage, or perhaps dispersed on each carriage, but it is boring and boring to be alone on the carriage, and the same carriage as the merchants, is a choke because the topic is constrained and you cannot have a sloppy fit with a man.

That's what I thought, 'The Red Vow' said everyone would take the lead carriage, and the merchants were nodding with relieved faces. Beyond that, he thought it was a whim to be with the young ladies all the time.

When this is a male hunter, I might have mentioned, 'Beard, okay, in the carriage with you...' That's right, I'm a public servant.

"... so this escort is a good policy, right?

"Yes, I think so"

"Oh, I agree"

"No objection!

In the leading carriage, I agree with Lena's confirmation words, the three Paulines.

Especially since the operational policy was already consulted in the Inn, this is only a 'ritual reaffirmation' at the start of the escort mission, well, it is like a temper. No one assumes that there will be any objections here, etc.

This transaction is a long-distance transaction across the country by the smallest merchant corps of three wagons. Then, in common sense, the load is a luxury product that can be fully profitable even in small quantities, that is, expensive even in small quantities.

Then there is no way you won't be accompanied by adequate escorts accordingly.

Therefore, it is the decision that it would be better to be in a carriage without showing up as an escort this time.

If The Red Oath showed up, the bandits would come at us laughing, thinking that a stupid new American merchant who spared money to pay his escort hired cheap, freshly C-ranked little daughters.

This request mission is not a separate bandit exorcism. Besides, if we capture the bandits, the speed of movement will be extremely reduced until we arrive in the next city and hand them over to the official. There's no room in the carriage for a bunch of bandits, and it's hard to force the resistant bandits to walk.

So I don't go out of my way to concentrate on the original request and do something that bandits get together or actively hunt for a prize.

If the 'Red Vow' is not in the carriage and shows itself, then a bandit with ordinary intelligence would naturally assume that 'there are in the carriage awesome guards who receive just the favorable treatment of getting in the carriage, not letting them walk, but reducing the load they carry,' and not inadvertently attacking them.

… and the presumption that the "presence of an awesome guard" is true.

"Then pay for the firepowder that comes down, save the crisis of the spies on your side, fight for the gold coins with the toddler girl, Chemomimi, and don't miss the cool show," he said... "

"Of course! That's us..."

"" "" "" The Red Vow "!!

... Something terrible seemed to be about to break into the Empire...

The merchants proceeded southwest from the king's capital of the kingdom of Tillus.

We will be approaching the Kingdom of Brandell, our western neighbor and home country of miles, but we plan to enter the Alburn Empire directly to the south without crossing that border.

Until we crossed the border with the Empire, nothing in particular would have happened.... unless the retarded bandits do something foolish like attack without knowing what it means to be a 'merchant squad with a escort in a front carriage'.

There are never so many merchants on the way to the Empire.

Streets with high steep slopes have to increase the number of horses carrying carriages, and that also results in lower loads. For the dealer in charge and the merchant in the luggage pull, his body would not be kept very well.

Moreover, the city's economy is poor and people's purchasing power is low. Besides, the political situation is getting kind of stinky.

It is only natural that in this situation there are not many likes of things, no, foolish merchants, who go out of their way to the Alburn Empire, when they say that there are no disadvantages at all if they go to the Brandel Kingdom in the west or the Marlein Kingdom in the east.

There are few other merchants. Now is the time to win rough money, and so on. Merchants who make the stupid mistake of not visiting winning or trading opportunities, and even losing their sanity, will be eroded by indignation. "It was a small vessel, a small vessel."

In that sense, this merchant corps, whose very existence may already be a little conspicuous, can do nothing about it. I had no choice.

"From now on, I'll normally call this group 'the merchant squad'. The clients are either 'clients', or 'merchants', or by their personal names, or by the store's roommate. The words' spy ',' people of the royal palace 'and' investigation team 'must not be spoken of by mistake. It is absolutely forbidden even when we are alone because we don't know when or whose eyes or ears we have, and there is a risk of leakage in public. You got it!

Miles snort at Lena's confirmation words. It was fundamental in this kind of work. Guys, I was familiar with things around there.... by Miama Satodale's spy novel.

Of course, the same is true of the 'merchants', so it is reassuring.

There are no blind spots in a line of other things I learned from Miama Satodale's novel about various kinds of knowledge.

If there is only one anxiety, it was that 'Miama Satodale's spy novel is also exported to the Alburn Empire', but no one in the line thought of it...

And afterwards, in the tent at the camp, at dinner, and so forth, the merchants and the men are stunned by the jaw (chin) not coming off, but it is omitted because it is "the usual thing" around it.

"... so how come bandits are attacking us when we haven't even crossed the border yet? In the streets where the merchants don't even walk..."

Bandits at the front and rear and three carriages of carriage stopped blocked by the whole of the obstacle they installed.

Still, four of the "Red Vows" remain in the carriage and have not shown up in front of the bandits.

"... maybe because the merchants don't go through busily? I don't think I can afford to choose because my prey rarely passes..."

"" "Ah..." "

Lena and the others accidentally raise their voices of satisfaction to the speculation of the miles.

Yes, if we have less prey, we will have to attack. There's no way a hungry beast can keep his taste in prey.

"Then we just need to move to a place with more prey. Then?

"The bandits will have a territory, too, and there are quite a few circumstances, such as not being able to get away from where their families and relatives live. Aren't the bandits, not all of us, all of us, all alone in heaven with no family or relatives?

Actually, the main business is peasants and bandits are side jobs, or the hunter's wife is doing it part-time... "

"Ah..."

"Why do you keep thinking about such strange things!

Mavis, who has convinced Miles of the proper narrative, and Lena, who, although undeniable, looks like the bandits are going to be obnoxious (now) because they want to annihilate him.

"But even so..."

But to Pauline's words......

"Yes, it doesn't matter. Those people today are bandits, attacking the merchants. No matter how unwilling you are to kill them all, you will seriously attack them until the merchants surrender, because at that time, you will not care at all about the death on the merchants' side.

Of course, even after you surrender, you're going to take away women and children that are going to be money, not just loads.... because you're no stranger to the fine 'Vicious Criminals'!

Hold on, keep going miles like that.

Miles is quite tolerant of those who live by the rules and desperately.

But it's a little tough on those who break the rules fine.

Of course, even so, Miles, he doesn't break the rules himself. Properly, I follow the rules.

... the rule that in this world, a merchant escort attacked by a bandit can do it to a bandit.

And the 'rules you've decided for yourself'.

Miles of rules. It was called, 'My Rules'.

And then Lena gave the instructions out loud.

"Target, bandit destruction!" Red Oath, "go!

"" "Oh!!
