Kujonin

I and Remi quickly packed up and prepared to return to Morales.

When I got out of the inn, Sassa was waiting.

"Sorry to keep you waiting"

"No. Until we leave the royal capital, the road is very crowded, so we have a carriage on the highway. Will you follow me?

"Yes, please."

Sassa cares for Remi who said that, "Please tell me if you walk fast."

"Sassa was a soldier?"

Remi asked after he started walking toward the exit of the royal city.

"I'm sorry to be silent. I'm in control of the military transport and food supply."

Sassa said he wanted to be a cook, but he was the commander of the military train department.

"I read the plan. A food shelter east of Morales would be a cornerstone of the southern defense if shelters were to be built. One year of agricultural land would be developed. It also makes it easier to remove garbage, and even though there is a model in the past ...! "

Sassa had a bitter face.

"Even the military knew the coalition between the northern nobility and the government, but I didn't think so much. We weren't aware of it."

"No, I'm glad you got it!"

Remi's expression is smiling.

"Squad leader! I submitted an application to the government office."

A giant young soldier is approaching. It is a stoop that looks like a shaved head and a buried neck.

"When the government officials come, keep them silent. When they get involved, they don't pay."

Sassa told his subordinates.

"Hello! I'm going ahead."

The young soldier walked slowly and rushed through the people of the royal capital, "I'm sorry, please open the way." Thanks to him, I was able to go smoothly on the street where the crowded morning market was lined up.

"You have excellent subordinates."

"Oh, you look, it's an intellectual. I lost my appetite and came to my house.

"He too for the inspection?"

"Yes. Another captain is arranging a carriage and we'll go with three people."

"Well, fun!"

I followed her back while listening to the conversation between Remi and Sassa.

The morning market of the royal capital was busier than I had expected, and it was doubtful that I was proceeding without AP. I didn't see pickpockets, probably because I was walking with soldiers. Instead, he was entangled by a group of bards.

"Okay, aren't the train commander's captain going out? Recently he seems to be the commander of a cleaner."

At the crossroads, the minstrels surrounded us three from all sides, as if ambushed.

"Bad, Liberty. I'm in a hurry. Will you let me through?"

Sassa told one of the bard.

"Last night, it seemed that there was a warning at the castle, but what happened? Is it related to those two people?"

A bard called Liebert heard in a gentle tone, but his eyes were not laughing. Both me and Remi are watching the outcome.

"I don't want to answer that question. Will you let me through? My subordinates are short."

Ap is looking around in front of you. A state of being alert to something. Liebert saw such an app and laughed with his nose.

"What? He's a piglet? He's fine."

Liberty's fellow minstrel is holding a crane with a musical instrument like a biwa. I guess it's a prepared knife.

"My subordinate isn't just an app."

According to Sassa's words, a tall woman in a uniform from the front came across the crowd. She's another inspector. "I'm sorry, let me through. It's a little disturbing. I'm sorry, I'm not going to be able to do anything."

"Ap! I'm being targeted by the guy behind me!"

A woman in military uniform shouted.

"Oh, I know! But you're more dangerous now! Thione!"

Ap returns. Is she in a military uniform called Thione?

"I'm on duty, Thione! Liberty, let me go down. I don't want to see blood from morning."

Sassa shouts. Surroundings in the morning market began to make noise in a sword-like atmosphere.

"Unfortunately, I couldn't stop him. I would play the instrument without permission."

In Liberty's words, the bard who set up drew his sword, and Thione wrinkled in his eyebrows, and began to run towards the bard with a murmur.

I and Remi, who were watching over me silently, looked up and sighed, "Well done!"

I kicked between the cobblestone ground and between the minstrel holding a sword and Thione, who fired Leach's long kick. Play the sword with a back fist, hold the Thione's kick with one hand and hold it. Helpful.

The sword flipped around, spinning in the air, and stuck under Liberty's feet.

"If you wrinkle too much in the eyebrows, the beauty is ruined."

I looked up at Thione. Thione hardened, not knowing what had happened.

"Bards, do you not sing a song praying for the safety of those on the journey? We will travel south from now on."

Remi-san said that and had Liberty hold a silver coin.

Liebert glanced at me after gazing at the silver coin and Remi alternately and laughed.

"Sorry, Senora. Come on, everyone is off to a friend. Let's play it grandly!"

The minstrels on all sides took out each instrument and started playing. The sound of flutes and stringed instruments reverberated on the busy streets of the morning market. Morning market customers, who were making noise around, seem to be enjoying the fleeting music.

We walked through the street listening to the song of our journey.

"I'm ashamed. Thank you for helping me."

When Sassa left the royal capital, I thanked me and Remi. Thione and Ap both walked silently with their faces facing down. Sometimes it seems like I'm glanced at me, but when I look back, it's down right away.

"No, it's good. I was sent off by the music of the minstrels of the Imperial City."

Remi said.

"The military and the bard guild are not in a good relationship. They can collide with something."

Sassa explained.

A carriage was parked beside the royal road.

Ap took the carriage, manipulated the fee horse, and moved the carriage to our doorstep.

"Please ride, please"

Thione opened the carriage door.

When I, Remi and Sassa entered, Thione closed the door.

"Does she ride inside?"

"Yes, let's run as a punishment earlier."

Sassa answered Remi's question. When Sassa hit the front wall, the carriage slowly departed. Thione is running behind the carriage.

"Mr. Thione doesn't seem to have scales or ears, is she a beast?"

I asked Sassa-san.

"Yes, why did you understand?"

"I felt like I touched my tail earlier when I hugged me."

In fact, it was confirmed by consultation skills.

"Thione was a former slave, and he was listened to by the slave traders and entered the Colosseum, as races would be higher for races."

Certainly, beastmen generally have higher physical abilities.

"There is something reckless, but I think guts are the best in the military."

It looks like a countryside yankee.

"Ah, can I ask you two questions?"

"what is it?"

"Is it true that you can fly in the sky with a broom? No, I wonder if there was a mark like a magic circle on the broom I was using."

I was going to erase it when I returned the broom, but I guessed it was left behind because I baked it.

"I'm sorry. I borrowed a little."

"So, then! Does that mean that either of you can draw a magic circle?"

"It just happens to know."

I answered honestly.

"Naoki-kun! If you know a magic circle that can float things in the air, you can't throw it away as a train ..."

Is it to teach the military? Certainly, if you can lift an object, the amount of things you can carry will change.

"I think skills are about enriching life. I don't do anything to be a source of war."

"That's right. I'll keep it secret. Sorry."

Sassa said really sorry. What the train wants most is not the flying broom, but the item bag that I am hanging from my shoulder in front of me.

Given the speed of the carriage, it can be expected that Morales will take several days. In the meantime, can I hide the item bag? unconfident. Anyway, if you're going to get out someday, let's say it. No, it wouldn't be a place for inspection. That is bad.

It's my fifth day today when I and Remi left the evacuation center. Soon, there will be a change of people in the cave. There is a new job in my plan, so I want to explain it to the cave people. It might be a good idea to run ahead and wait for Sassas to come up with an excuse.

"How long does it take to Morales?"

"Three or four days, it's a carriage, so it may be two days."

Sassa said with some confidence.

"That's a bit too long, so can I just go ahead first?"

"No, I have to take me."

Remi says.

"Do you fly in the sky to go ahead?"

Sassa has forgotten the honorifics and heard. I'm younger, so I'm grateful.

"No, I run. I ran when I came to the royal capital, so I don't think it will take that much."

"Isn't that much faster than Feehorse?"

"That's right!"

Remi answered for some reason.

"Naoki-kun. I will drive from the southern tip of the country to Morales in half a day!"

"... I can't believe it, but is it true?"

Sassa asked her with her eyes rounded.

"Well, it's true. There are some jobs that I'm asking for, and I want to get back to it as soon as possible.

"Yeah, can you show me a little bit?"

I open the carriage door, jump out and start running. Apparently the apprentice was surprised by the incident behind him. Thione running behind is late, so I pick her up and bring her with her princess.

During that time, the carriage did not slow down, but rather accelerated, but ran normally. Although Thione was rampant to some extent, lightly applying strength to her arms stiffened her body.

"How long can you keep that state?"

"How long? Stop when you are hungry or sleepy."

With that said, this time I accelerate. It's not fast enough to keep up with Fee Horse.

For a moment, you can see the surprised faces of merchants and travelers passing by. I ran through the grass beside the highway so as not to make holes in the highway.

Looking back, when the carriage is fairly small, drop Thione to the ground and wait.

"Sorry. Are you okay? Is there a remedy?"

"I'm OK. I'm OK."

Thione replied, breathtaking.

"Oh, it doesn't have to be honorific."

After a while, the carriage arrives in front of you.

"Okay, I understand. I don't care. I'll go later. Let's meet in Morales three days later."

Opening the door, Sassa said.

"understood"

Remi got off the carriage and turned her head.

"I don't really like horse-drawn carriages.

I take the backpack from the item bag and carry it on my back.

"Is that bag big enough?"

Thione asked me a lot. Surely the item bag is a little smaller than the backpack? No, I guess I could still make an excuse if I kept the backpack folded.

"It's an old man who was an adventurer. It's strong and I can't break it even if I forcibly put it in."

I seemed to be an adult who lied to me from someday.

Quickly put Remi on the backpack and set off before the rags appear.

"So three days later!"

"3 days later, in Morales!"

We and the three inspectors broke down on the highway.
