Let's Manage The Tower
(3) On the road to peace
The city that Floria and Mia are aiming for is one of the core cities in the kingdom of Flores, inhabited by quite a few people.
However, due to the distance from King's Landing, Floria never came as a child.
Mia, who had only ever been to the kingdom of Flores, was deferred.
By going to a city of that size, the caravan that they were supposed to escort was also the size of a merchant's belongings consisting of five carriages.
Compared to a large caravan moving through the central continent, it is a small caravan, but it is only on the central continent that such a large caravan is moving in the first place.
In other continents, it is rare for caravans of that size to still move.
The caravan was sandwiched between five merchant carriages, and two carriages were running together.
Those carriages have escort adventurers, including Floria and Mia.
Of the two carriages, Floria and Mia were riding with another group of adventurers in the carriage in front.
Together, the party includes the female adventurer Jugget, who was watching the event in the King's City Adventurer Alliance.
With Floria and Mia on the cargo platform, Yuget looked happy while stroking the neck of the wolf (neck).
The neck that Jugget strokes is one of two wolves with Floria and Mia.
Incidentally, the rest of them run side-by-side without riding on the carriage platform.
"--I can't believe the day the wolf touches me like this...."
While stroking the neck, Uget's face became insensitive.
Looking at it, Floria and Mia smiled at each other at the same time.
It was a jellyfish that hadn't touched the neck before, but Floria and Mia recommended it and finally managed to touch it.
Now, the neck on the carrier has a relatively easy character to be a person, and I suggested that it would be okay for both of you to touch it together.
Until then, Jugget was greedy and watching Floria and Mia stroking wolves.
Other adventurers are jealous of such jellyfish.
If you look at that face, you can see that you want to touch it the same way as Uget.
Incidentally, all adventurer parties in the carriage in which Floria and Mia are riding can be women.
As she watched them, Floria said with a bitter smile.
"I don't mind touching her, but don't let her influence future adventurer activities."
Acting as an adventurer is naturally often confronted with wolves.
Too much interaction can be a big deal if it affects the job.
"Of course. We're professionals, right?
Uget said so to Floria, but seeing him stroking a wolf with a melted face didn't seem very convincing.
The parties to which Uget belongs are all females, although they are famous in Flores as high ranking parties.
For this reason, even in this escort request, I am acting as the organizer of multiple parties.
"It's okay to leave Yuget alone. Instead, is the kid okay?
"Over there? Oh, another guy. He should be on his way. It's okay."
It was Floria who even thought she might be hunting away from the carriage if she wasn't good at it, but that's not true.
Kuro, as Kaiseki told him, runs firmly alongside the carriage to protect Floria and Mia.
At first, I didn't seem used to the speed of the carriage, but now I'm getting there properly.
When I heard Floria's words, I saw Lara, an adventurer who looked worried, and now Mia laughed bitterly.
"You don't have to worry so much. When it comes to black, it's better not to keep it close to people."
Since I am supposed to be with Kaiseki, I am definitely used to it compared to the wild wolf, but there is still a preference.
In the case of Kuro, he is more of a runner than a stranger.
Besides, there are circumstances where Kuro should be on guard outside as long as he has a neck.
Mia, who laughed without looking outside, saw the rest of the female adventurer on the carrier, Tyce, talking to her.
"Aren't you tired?
"That's no need to worry. She can run around all day hunting."
The words of Mia who answered that were nothing but exaggeration.
Of course, Mia didn't actually see it, but there was Nana's testimony through Wanri.
Hearing such Mia's words, Jet sighed and said.
"I'm jealous of your strength. If you've been running around all day, you're too tired to fight.
"No, it may be, but what do we do compared to the Beast in the first place?
To Florian, who said so in a daze, Jugget turned away with his tongue out.
I fully understand what I'm saying is strange.
Looking at such a jet, the other two of them looked at it with a stunning gaze.
But Lara did not penetrate into the word of Jugget, but looked at Floria and Mia and heard something else.
"Nevertheless, they are very similar, but are they sisters or something? Ah, if you don't want to answer, you don't have to."
It's still alive here that adventurers don't listen to each other's past.
Lara dared to come up with the topic only because it was on the way, so she didn't want to hear anything.
And Floria and Mia didn't have to hide anything, so I gave them a quick answer.
"Sisters are happy. Well, not really."
"Don't be so cute in front of me, Mother."
After seeing Floria with her hands on her cheeks deliberately, Mia became a gentle face.
I know Floria doesn't look exactly like her age, but Mia thinks she still has the right attitude.
Of course, the other three women who heard Mia's words were not far behind.
"" "..." Hahowe?
She looked as if she had seen all the ghosts, and looked at Floria while saying so.
"What is it? Is there something you want to say?
In response to the reaction of the three, Floria looked a little dissatisfied and replied.
