... live free!

I don't know how long it has been since then, but I've been listening to the conversation slightly from the direction where the lights are visible. I didn't hear it clearly, but it seems to be launching. You may not have to tell me what the launch was, but apparently, we managed to hit a carriage somewhere. So, it seemed like I was drinking and making a noise.

(It's energetic.)

Yumir-san came back thinking that.

"(Mr. Yumir)"

Yumir-san was shocked when I approached him, but he was relieved to know it was me. Could it be that you called out at a strange time? Yumir-san came to talk to me.

"(Lena, did something happen while we were gone?)"

"(Especially, ah, is it hard to say that these people are drinking and making noise?)"

"(... are you drinking alcohol?)"

“(Yes, I heard a slight conversation and it seemed like I was launching and drinking.)”

"(... I understand)"

"So how was Yumir-san?"

When they heard that, Yumir and the others looked troubled.

Is something wrong?

When I asked, Mr. Yumir told me what he had seen earlier.

To summarize the story roughly, it looks like this.

I was on a two-handed road ahead of the road, and it seemed that there was a prisoner-like person chained to one side of the road.

On the other side, people thought to be bandits snored and slept.

"(I couldn't confirm the number of prisoners, but there seemed to be some. Six of the bandits were asleep, but for now, I decided to return because it was for reconnaissance)"

"(Really...? What are you going to do now?)"

"(For the time being, I would like to check the other person as well. But it might be noticed, so it might be halfway there, but how about that?)"

"(I will follow Mr. Yumir's instructions)"

"(Me too)"

"(... I understand. For now, I'll go where I can go.)"

We went to the place where the bandits were gathering.

I thought there might be something going on along the way, and I proceeded with vigilance, but nothing happened, and I moved to the area where they were making noise.

"(For once, I'll peek inside, but I'll leave this cave in a hurry if I get caught.)"

When she was told that, she nodded, and Yumir began to nod her closeness. I also checked after Yumir, but about 20 people were eating while drinking alcohol, and I didn't seem to be particularly alarmed.

(If you raid something, it's going to be over soon...)

I checked the inside as far as I could, but I couldn't find an exit.

"(For now, I will return carefully after checking.)"

Then we went back to everyone to tell them what was going on inside.
