Legend

0375 words

One carriage is going down the street.

It was two large warhorses of the body around two that were pulling that carriage compared to a normal horse, and the speed at which the carriage was pulled was also not comparable to a normal horse.

Furthermore, Seto, who is a griffon, walks next to such a carriage and checks the surroundings.

Tufal, who was also an old man while watching such a thing, had successfully controlled the warhorse not to be too tired and not to slow down the movement.

At the same time, Seto is alert to his surroundings without hiding any signs again, so he didn't have to worry about being raided by anything other than some retarded monster or bandit.

Even for Warhorse, Seto, who has acted together many times before, is the opponent, so some tension is not as violent as fear.

Around here, my birth as a warhorse and my subsequent environment are probably also affected.

"Hmm, it's going to be sundown"

Watching the sunset, Tufal squeaks.

It was during the sunset that we left the village in the first place. Even though it had only been about an hour since we left, it was a good time to start preparing for the camp.

Most of all, it's a carriage that leaves for about an hour or so, but it's also a magic item, and it's a good warhorse that's pulling it, even in the Duke of Kelp territory, the sooner you count it from above. Various elements, such as Warhorse's physical condition, street conditions, and weather, are involved, but its speed can be about three to five times as fast as a carriage as a normal merchant would use. Elaine also decided to leave the village even though she was close to the evening because she knew it.

Still, it was just hard to go down the street through the night without the lights.

Of course, it's not so uncommon to rely on moonlights and star lights to take the streets when you need a preaching like an early horse. However, as for this trip to the labyrinth city, there is no need to travel all night, so it is not necessary to do so.

Because when it comes to horse fatigue, it can be considerably mitigated by the effect of a carriage of magic items, but it is still impossible to completely eliminate fatigue.

Thinking about those things, Tufal calls out into the carriage.

"Ma'am, I think it's time to get ready for camp,"

"Right, most of the day has gone down. I wouldn't have trouble with the lights with this carriage or Ray's magic tent, but I'd certainly rather get ready for camp. Tufal, stop the carriage when you find the right spot in the camp."

It was Elaine telling me that from inside... but in the carriage it was supposed to be somewhat awful.

Elaine's position in the first place is only that of a Duke's Warlord and at the same time a samurai with the alias General Princess. Naturally, I've hardly ever cooked or made tea. I mean...

"Look, I'll take your place."

"But... no, I'm sorry"

Elaine sighs carelessly and gives Ray the equipment to make the tea she had.

Speaking of salvation at least, does that mean that Elaine's expression with that careless look on her face had a different beauty than usual?

While thinking that way, Ray brews tea with the instruments he receives.

Regardless of making tea appropriately in boiling water in a pot for Ray as well, it's almost my first experience to make tea with special utensils. But still, I've seen it several times before in the dining room, and I've had experience brewing green tea when I was in Japan. With that in mind, even the same drinking specialty was still better than Elaine's.

... but it was only better than Elaine's, and it was never good.

"Yeah, it's delicious"

But Elaine brings such tea to her mouth with a small grin.

Elaine, who usually gives off an atmosphere of Rin, was only her daughter of her age, rather than a princess general, the way she smiled happily.

To such Elaine's appearance, Ray opens his mouth in the blindfold, slightly dyeing his cheeks red, but out of sight.

"I always drink Ara's brewed tea, so it can't be tasty. You don't have to flatter me."

"Sure, Ara's tea that you always brew is delicious, but still, this is the tea Ray deliberately brewed for me, isn't it? Tea like that can't be delicious."

"... right"

To such Elaine's words, Ray returns only that briefly.

Elaine must have also noticed the content of the words she had spoken. I dye my cheeks thin and red to distract my gaze from the ray so I don't calm down.

If there were a third party on this occasion, in the air that would make you want to be in too much space… as if to help it, the two notice the speed of the carriage slowing down.

It is a magic item, but it is probably the reason why you can feel the movement of the carriage properly even if the interior of the carriage has been expanded considerably by space magic.

"Lady, Lady Ray, there's a forest by the street. How about spending the night over there?

"Right, that would be good. Leave it to me."

"Yes, I did."

The unspeakable atmosphere that was finally spreading in the carriage would be dispelled by Elaine's reply to Tufal's words.

The carriage was then stopped near the woods and dinner preparations began.

That said, I served the dishes that were inside Ray's mysteries, and then I just burned the sausage the liquor store owner gave me because it was a corner.

"This is just delicious. Something to be proud of."

Take a bite of the lightly scorched sausage and whine like you were impressed, Elaine.

Ray and Tufal alike had the same look on their faces that they were impressed with after a bite of sausage.

The look on Ray's face, in particular, has changed a lot. Because Ray was also eating the sausage served to the shopkeeper's man for breakfast. But even though the appearance appeared to be the same sausage, the taste was completely different.

(This... I see. Do you really care about that guy?)

Probably handed him some extremely elegant sausages he made. Trying to make our boss a little more comfortable.

Ray, smiling at the tavern owner's, in a way, clumsy tenderness, savours and eats that mind-making sausage.

After that, it was made into a simple hot dog made of freshly baked bread with slices in it and salted fish purchased from long-boiled soups and emotions to complete a luxurious meal that was unlikely to be a camp meal.

"No, I'm surprised Lady Ray had an item box, but I'm also surprised to say that we can have such a fancy meal in the camp."

It was a two-fal to tell him like he was impressed, but Ray still has no intention of ending that surprise.

Using a running water dagger removed from the mysteries, next door Ray uses the magic of flames to cook only the surface and cook it so that it's half raw inside. In conjunction with Seto's portion eating bicorn block meat, add water to three glasses and one pan and hand it to each.

And...

"The water is so delicious..."

Elaine was as stunned as she was when she ate the sausage, expressing her expression of amazement that there was no word for her to be in Tufal.

Looking at those two, Ray also carries his own cup to his mouth.

Exactly how many times I drink it, no matter how much delicious water I get used to. So I don't give a look of amazement to the two of us, but I guess the delicious ones are still delicious. Ray also has a satisfying look on his face.

Seto also drank deliciously the water, which should also be called sweet dew from the sky, after eating up bicorn meat, by sticking a couch in the pan.

After two people, Elaine and Tufal, who eventually returned from what can be described as shocking water delicacies, explain what the water is and that it is water produced with magic items, discuss each other after the Bestia War with a strangely convincing look on their face.

"Was it Ray who defeated the lem race, which is said to have sealed off the emotion?... No, isn't it strange given Ray's strength? I have also fought Kraken with the Axe of the Thunder God in Emosion before..."

"Oh, if you say so, you said it the first time we met."

"Mm-hmm. That's when Kraken came up to the harbor, so I figured it out. Rumor has it that Rem Race stayed under the sea and never came out on the water? How did you take him down?

To Elaine's words, look around with chirali.

Until a while ago, we were both listening to Ray's story, but now we're not in this place to get ready for Elaine to go to bed in the carriage.

Only Ray and Elaine are here, as well as Seto, who is replacing Ray's couch, and two and two yellows sleeping neatly on its back. And Elaine is one of the few people who knows the truth about herself and Seto and deserves to be trusted. Ray therefore speaks of how he drew the lem race to the ground.

"Remember the Grimm we met in the dungeon?

"Grimm? I'm sure that was Rich's name."

"That's right. So, as I saw when I got out of the dungeon, I conveniently have the means to get in touch with Grimm. And Grimm can use space magic like he experienced when he escaped from the dungeon. I mean..."

With that said, Elaine would have understood. Nod as convinced.

"I see. Surely if it's as rich as it sounds, it's possible to force some of the monsters in the Rem Race to transfer space."

"Don't be. So, anyone can attack more than out on the ground, so I later joined the opponent who partied on an extraordinary basis and defeated him. I didn't think you were 30 meters long."

"Um, I'm also listening to stories around there. Anything, there's more than Rank B for sure, but it doesn't get to Rank A... Right. I still hear you're arguing in the guild about what to do with rank"

You hadn't decided yet...... Ray taking the guild card out of Mystering while I thought so.

"So, in recognition of the achievements of the Spring War and the Crusade to the Rem Race, he took the Rank Up Exam and was successfully promoted to Rank B."

"... Regardless of your combat skills, you've often been successful in terms of courtesy."

"It feels delicate, to be honest. If you're going to get a request from a nobleman and he's going to care about the neighborhood, he's going to send an adjunct from the guild."

Unexpectedly Elaine laughs bitterly at such Ray's explanation.

Elaine herself doesn't care about Ray's use of words, but it's everywhere that nobility has only high pride. I wonder if that would have made the guild right decision. Anyway, given the power of the war alone, even Rank A has so much strength that it's not strange.

That's what I thought, Elaine, which is why I'm going to be amazed at the words that came out of Ray's mouth the next moment.

"With that said, I became friends with an interesting nobleman before the rank-up exam"

"Friends? What do I say, but some nobles were rare again"

At this point, even though I was surprised, I thought it was only a man: a friend nobleman out of Ray's mouth. But when you hear the noble name of having become that friend, you will have a surprise look on your face again.

"Marca Quento, a kid who's not even 10 years old. I'm talking about a heir to the Duke of Quent's house, you know?

"Marca Quento? Of course I do. I hear you still have a young, yet high, magical qualities. That, what. I am famous in terms of martial arts, but Miss Marca is famous for her magical talent and skill. It is said that he will use the magic of several attributes and will become a great wizard in the future. Besides... the Duke of Quento is one of the biggest factions in the Mireana kingdom, the Kings. If you're looking at it in an objective way, you can say you're in a higher position than my father or Lord Dusker."

"Hmm, apparently you were a lot bigger than I expected. He was innocent in character, and Seto just seemed like his favorite kid."

Ray remembers how Marca is clutching to Seto, whining and stroking Seto's face as he gently turns to avoid waking up the sleeping yellow on his own back.

From the side, he only looked like a very normal child. That's why it didn't seem so different from the children of the residents who followed Seto in the Guild.

"Heh, Miss Marca knows things like that, but not many people would think like Ray"

I don't even consider nobility noble. That's the kind of thing that you would never forgive if you just asked Elaine as a symbol of the aristocracy, but should I say the privilege of a maiden in love, such Ray's attitude seemed irreplaceable to Elaine.

Thus, the two nights pass slowly until Tufal comes out of the carriage saying they are ready for bed.
