In a Different World with a Smartphone
# 14 Your Ladyship, and Escort Request.
We also helped bury the bodies of seven deceased soldiers in nearby woods. I can't leave him alone or take him.
Of the three surviving soldiers, the youngest continued to silently build graves. Apparently some of the deceased soldiers had his brother, and he was bowing his head deeply to us who built the tomb.
The old man with gray hair also bows his head next to it.
"It really helped. What a thank you..."
"No, never mind. Even if the injury is healed, there's no blood back, so don't push it too hard."
I rush to speak to my grandfather, who keeps bowing his head. Thank God I was, but I'm vulnerable to old people.
"Thank you, Winter Night and Ya! Your lord is not just Grandpa's, no, not Grandpa's, he's not the benefactor of a frivolous life!
A blonde girl with great words and words of thanks. With a bitter smile, I think this child is probably an aristocratic courtier.
I would almost certainly say to a much more luxurious looking carriage than I have seen before, to many escort soldiers, butler-like old men, girls with big attitudes.
"I'm late to say hello. I work for the Duke of Ortolinde Family Order, my name is Reim. And this is the Duke's Lady, Susie Ernea Ortrinde."
"It's Susi Ernea Ortrinde! Regards!"
Duke? I knew you were a noble lady. Reasonably.
Beside me, convinced that there were twin sisters and samurai daughters solidifying.
"... what is it?
"What's wrong... why are you so flat! Duke's house, duke!
"… the Duke, at the top of the title… unlike other titles, is essentially only given that title by royalty, …"
Royalty... Huh?
"I don't know. My frightened father, the Duke of Alfred Ernes-Oltrinde, is the brother of His Majesty the King"
"Does that mean the king's niece? Wow."
"... I'm not really surprised at winter and evening. You're not a big shot."
Huh? Looking back, the twin sisters and the samurai daughter were on both knees, bowing their heads. What, dugout? Do we have to get that far?
"Er, Sushi... Dear Sir? I'd better... wouldn't I?
"Su is fine. It's not an official place. I don't even need a salute. As I was saying, the winter nights are not the benefactor of frivolous lives. If it's true, it's this one who keeps his head down. Get your faces up, too."
All three stood up with their heads up when Su said so. I seem to have relieved some tension, but I can still see firmness in my expression.
"But why is there a Duke's Lady here?
"Grandmother... you're not my mother's mother, you're coming home from. I need to check something out. I stayed for about a month and was on my way back to Wang Du."
"You were attacked there... Not just a bandit... I knew it."
It's a little hard to imagine a bandit using even such summoning magic to attack. And Lizardman was numerous, but essentially one man in a black robe. Think of it as an assault on the Duke's Lady. Is the purpose assassination, kidnapping, or something like that?
"Because the raiders are dead, who they were, who they were moving on someone's orders, now in the dark."
"I'm sorry..."
Yae is nagging at Shun. Uh, I skipped my neck, didn't I, Hachi? If I did catch him and make him throw up a lot, I might have found out more about the conspiracy behind it.
"Never mind. Thank you to the Lord. Well done. You knocked me down."
"Thank you for your kind words..."
Yae bows his head deeply again.
"So? What are we going to do with Su?
"That's the thing..."
Mr. Reim, who had refrained beside him, opened his mouth with regret.
"If more than half the soldiers in the escort fall and there is a similar raid as it is, we cannot protect your daughter. So I'd like to ask the winter nights to work as escorts. Could you please thank me as I arrive in King's Capital and will pay for it?
"Is it an escort..."
Well, the destination is the same, and I'm tempted to leave it like this. I don't think it's okay with me, but what about everyone?
"Isn't that nice? We're going to Wangdu anyway."
"... I don't mind either"
"Awkward people are given a ride, so leave it to the Winter and Night Palace."
Apparently, there is no objection.
"Okay. I'll take it. Kind regards to Wang Du"
"Uhm! Nice to meet you!
That's what Su said. Su had a full smile.
Two carriages follow. It's our carriage behind the Duke's house before. Furthermore, in front of the carriage of the Duke's house, three soldiers on horseback on single rides lead the way.
I got into the carriage at the Duke's house and was supposed to escort Su directly. Because magic and swords can be used, it is better.
Suh in the front of me sitting on an unfamiliar superior seat, Mr. Reim sat next to me.
"… so the knight Momotaro managed to exorcise the bad ogre, gain many treasures, and return to the village."
"Oh! Great!
Su was happy to slap his hand. Is this a good idea? He asked me to tell him something, so he decided to tell Taro, a hero who would pass it on to his hometown. I was anxious to take it, but apparently they liked it.
"Why don't you let me tell you something else?
"Well... this is also a conversation about the Kamaya... in the castle town of a kingdom called Cinderella..."
In a world where magic is normal, I didn't expect to talk about wizards coming out. He seems happy for me, and, well, okay.
After that, I told and made listen to all the fairy tales I knew, and at the end of the day I even had the feathers to change my settings and talk to famous cartoons and big hit animated movies over there.
I'm gonna go find a castle in the sky! I was honestly in a hurry when I said it out, but Mr. Reim scolded me.
Hi. This lady seems to like Adventure Tan. It's unusual.
With us on board, the carriage goes north to the King's Capital.
