Isekai Mahou wa Okureteru! (WN)

Horses run through wet ground with rain from folds. Other diseases follow before the bouncing mud falls to the ground again. The sparkle of fine splashes that flew late appeared in his eyes like gray crystals because of the still pale complexion of the sky.

- About a few days ago, from the day that Shuiming and Refile arrived in the Imperial Capital, Philus Filia.

Hearing from Gregory about the crisis in Shuiming, Triju, after flying out on horseback, had joined the Mizuki and Teatania who had been chasing him, crossing the border between Nerferia-Astel and even coming in front of a forest zone extending east of the city of Kranto.

Off the streets, the vast Minori, where there is not even a road anymore, is about to end. In front of everyone there is a leafy forest.

Teatania, hurrying her horse to walk side-by-side next to Trinity, mouths toward Trinity with a firm grip on the reins.

"I was lucky to be borrowed a horse along the way. Without this, you wouldn't have chased Lady Reggie."

What she said, showing relief that she was lucky, was how it went to rendezvous.

I learned about the crisis of my friend Eight Keys Shuiming, and even though I knew the logic, I popped out one person, Trinity II. It was the Titanias who were in such a shape to follow him, but on the way back to Astel, he was lucky enough to rent a horse, and caught up with Trinity, who was resting the horse in the middle of the road.

To her like that, Trinity tells her she seems sorry.

"Yeah... but was Tia good? This is how you're supposed to make me hang out with you selfishly..."

"There's nothing I can do about it because I can't tell you that Lady Reggie is going. Because I don't want to go with you more than that."

"Sorry, about this one..."

Yes, I'm responsible for this one, too. It's no mistake that the Demons attacked Astel or jumped out on their own, even though they said they had a place.

The burden was more than I could wipe away than I was letting it go with.

But just as Teatania shouldn't worry about such a sense of penance or anything, she shook her neck sideways with a smile.

"No. It's not like Master Reggie is bad about this one. It is the nobility of our country that has fallen into Swimey, and if we are to say it in the first place, that this could not have happened if we had not called Lady Reggie to this world. Besides, as Astel's royal family, I am also responsible for assisting Master Reggie. So there's no sarcasm for Reggie to feel burdened."

"... yeah, thanks"

"You don't care about me. More than that..."

Teatania looks back from the horse. As for those who are ahead of her gaze stained with that anxiety, you won't have to ask. There's another girl who got into a crisis with this unsolicited act. Yes, sir.

"Mitsubishi..."

Mizuki, still unable to ride the horse alone, was on this occasion clinging to the back of Luca, a female knight. Even though I'm not used to the battle yet, and my fear hasn't eased, he was following me again when he said he was going to a place where the great army of demons was.

Trinity, too, was honestly pleased with the feeling. But...

"Mizuki, you mustn't force it. If you think you can't fight, you're bound to back down. Is that good?

"But..."

What came out of Mizuki's mouth was her thought of whether that was okay. It is an irresistible blame for knowing and following a friend's crisis, but saying whether it is good to back off without doing anything.

I say to her, who is caught in the crossroads with a sense of responsibility, that Trinity should not care as much as Titania does.

"Mizuki doesn't have to do it. And if anything happens to Mizuki as well as Mizuki, I..."

Yes, if there's anything more going on, I'm not going to be able to forgive myself. So I wanted you to step back without hesitation.

"Triju-kun..."

"So if we decide we can't, Mizuki will have you and Luca go down to safety, okay?

"... yeah, okay. Don't do anything unscrupulous, Trijukun, okay? Absolutely, right?

"Oh, I promise."

To his worried expression, Trinity lies for the relief of a moment. Yes, it would be nothing but a lie right now. Naturally, if you can keep that promise, that confidence isn't just a fragment in your chest.

Teatania asks if she expects the exchange between Trinity and Mizuki to be over.

"Master Reggie. Do you have any thoughts on the rest of this?

"Yeah. I'm going to try to get close to where I think the Demons are first. Maybe we don't have time to see how things are going, but we still don't know where the Mizumins are. I think it's a good idea to carefully check the size of the Demon Clan and then try to find a place where we can hide ourselves."

Yes, our primary purpose is to help Shuiming. There is no need to set up a demon clan in a meaningless way. It would have been our purpose to get a good idea of the situation and come searching in full swing.

It is certainly unlikely that we will find a merchant squad that he will be with us. But still...

"Hehe, don't you make a frontal breakthrough on your demonic opponent?

"No!? Exactly. I know I'm impotent too."

"I have to agree...... apparently you haven't forgotten how calm you are. You were worried unnecessarily."

"Did you camouflage me? I can't think of a way out. Is Tia... - So, what do you say?

"Right. I think it's a good decision to see how it goes before it moves. I agree with that."

Ask Titania if she did not answer that question.

"... hey Tia. If I said I was gonna break through, what would you have done?

"Until then, I'll be with you."

"It's"

"- I thought I told you before you left, Master Reggie. It's my responsibility to follow you. And when Lady Reggie scatters, it's also when I scatter."

…………

What do you see or see looking forward? Eyes as if looking at the difficulties in front of you. To that pale, but heavily rolled out determination of Titania, Trinity forgets the words. Yes, her voice did dwell on strength and highness. I guess that's what preparedness is. After all, Titania was not just a girl who was told by someone but followed as they were. Decide what you must do, and set it at the time of scattering, and dwell them in you firmly, and now she is next to you.

"What's wrong?

"No, Tia is amazing. There's nothing like me, ever."

……

Couldn't she grasp what words meant without front or back? I can see him tilting his neck strangely on the horse.

As a princess of a country, Titania is much stronger prepared than she is. No, in front of her determination, her readiness, etc. would be nothing more than a decoration that she would have repaired for now. When I see her now, I feel a lot of drawbacks.

But I don't have time to go in thinking about that right now. I change my mind and Trinity asks.

"Tia, based on the current measures, where do you think we should go from here?

"Yes, let's go north from here first. The forest area stretching east of the city of Kranto is smaller on the northeast side than on the southeast side and is higher than the rest, so I was wondering if it would be best to check the situation."

"Okay. Let's go."
