Chris didn't realize he'd fallen asleep, and woke up with a kellow face.

I see you were out of your mind.

Having thought of it that way, Ein deals with her without special reminders of it.

Then we exchange katimas, then we exchange administrative exchanges.

As planned, the three of them recommended travel support in order to aim for Baltic after nightfall.

... is the story of Ein leaving Ist. Ein and Chris, who had been on the water train for a while, had arrived in the cold of winter in Baltic.

In the same tough area, Ein lets his cheeks pull and exhale.

"... snow."

"Yeah, more than ist... that's a lot of snow"

If people walk down the road, they'll be snowmen in no time.

The exhaling breath is whiter, and the snow you trample on is closer to powdered snow than the ist's because of the lower temperatures.

The time is evening.

The orange light pours down, the powdered snow reflects the light and the atmosphere is not bad.

Though it's an emotional sight, Ain't alone with Chris today.

Unlike before, there is no liveliness because it is not a large area.

"In the meantime, shall we come to the inn that Mr. Krone has prepared?

She looked all over Baltic town.

Busy with adventurers, today's Baltic is about to be the most lively time.

After the evening, those who were at work will also return.

In that case, restaurants and taverns would be crowded with people.

Ain felt nostalgic for a sign made of demonic bones.

"- Shall we just leave the necessary luggage and leave immediately"

"... eh, is it to the old king's capital?

Chris doubts Ein's sanity.

It is a place where you can leave Baltic early in the morning and finally arrive around noon.

It is now evening and by the time we arrive it will be late at night.

"The snow path at night is dangerous. There will be demons, and I cannot endorse them."

"I usually think so, too, but something's going to be okay today, isn't it?

Outside the town, Ain saw where the adventurers were going in and out.

imitate him. Chris also looked at the

"... Is there a way?

Naturally there is a way.

The so-called streets are laid, and that is nothing but a road.

but what she felt was not the street, it was like illuminating the path with light demonic props in a city where the night and all was lowered.

Air, or something like a sign, sees you two in a straight line and makes you feel warm and gentle.

It's like a privileged seat. It was directed only at the two of us, and it wasn't something that was knowledgeable and understandable, technical.

"I think it's Mr. Sylvia. I used to feel it when Mr. Cain and I were inside me, because it seemed like a warm atmosphere."

"Well, if Ein says so, I'm sure he does."

Oh? Ain't surprised Chris broke.

Exactly, because I thought they'd say no nonetheless.

"Already, what is that face? Even I don't always disagree, do I?

He grinned back bitterly at Chris with a musty face and Ain's leg was moved forward.

Even the feeling of trampling the snow is different from that of the ist.

"Is it the same as before to stay?

"Yes, if you're referring to when I wasn't there, you're right."

"... I feel like I have thorns, but because of my mind?

Then she walked out first.

Imitate Ein for listening to the inconvenience, or make her laugh without returning a reply, too.

"- Come on, let's go. Sylvia and the others seem to be waiting!

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

After placing their luggage in the inn, the two rolled out onto a darkened mountain path.

To be honest, walking was not halfway through.

But the gap between the trees seems to be increasing compared to when I used to take a leg.

"You seem to be deliberately pruning"

"Oh, did Chris think too?

(d) Easy enough clearance for the three of us to move forward.

If you describe it as a wide beast path, you're sure to do just fine.

"It's so much easier to walk compared to when I came here a while back."

"Yeah, it's the same compared to when I came."

"Someone maintained it... it's a doodle, and it's still -"

It's Kane that comes to mind.

His sword, I guess, made it easier to get to town.

So far, none of the adventurers have turned their feet on what is considered the former king's capital.

Because of the royal word, no one takes a trip with pranks.

"You're Mr. Cain. He's kind enough not to bluff, and I think he cut himself."

I mean, I cut it, or in his case, I think I could use a knife to turn one side into a bald mountain.

"Hehe... it's a hard place to be when it comes to people, but I agree"

Chris walking next door also said that with a pleasant voice.

- Approximately three hours after leaving Baltic town.

It's already dark around, time to even check each other's expressions.

But the two of them are entertained… they are able to proceed without mourning the harsh environment.

Nevertheless, it's time to call it back.

... where Ain wiped the sweat on his forehead, a certain sound reaches both of us.

It's the voice of an animal like a horse to the sound of a ragged wheel.

"I wonder what that sounds like"

"... if you think in common sense, I feel like a carriage"

"The problem is, in common sense, it's not the kind of place where carriages run...?

This is a mountain road, even though it's just a thought.

Whatever you think, let's run the carriage. You can't think of anything.

While they both think that, their wheels and horse-like voices get louder.

"Looks like we're getting closer..."

"... Dear Ein, be vigilant just in case"

I pulled out my sword as Chris advised and turned my consciousness to the direction where the sound came from.

It is the direction of the two - from the direction of the old king's capital, heard from the back of this wide beast path.

With the gradually increasing sound, the blunt and glowing lights appear in the eyes.

"Oh, it's really like a carriage."

When Ain is surprised, Chris stands in front of him all the time.

It's to protect her, but Ein also pushes her away from losing.

"Nah - a, Dear Ein!? What...!

As a royal, it may be incorrect, but it is the will of a man that Ain held.

(If anything, he doesn't feel like I'm protecting him)

There was nothing I could do about all this because of my personality.

It's not a mistake if you ask me to bend over, but I just have to clean it up with Ain't.

In the end, they stand next to each other, waiting for the light that approaches them.

"If you stand in front of me, there's no point in following me as an escort, is there?

"If Prince Wang is going to keep his mouth shut, he's not going to have a hard time with everyone."

"... ha. If you're aware, I'd like you to fix it."

"Ha, let's consider it positively"

The carriage is about to go in between the two of us.

When the crisis also grew, the carriage stopped at a distance open.

He stops cleverly on a diagonal mountain path and is in the front of the Ains to stare at each other.

(... is that, a horse?

When Ain gazed, the carriage was drawn to two horses.

I wondered if it was a horse at all, because my hair was white and like a white horse, but it wasn't some normal horse.

(My body is too big, and I can't believe it.)

The royal carriage horse in the Wang capital was also a proud giant body.

But bigger than that, the majestic hyena is in the cold wind, with two twisted horns growing on his head.

If you look closely, your hair also looks as clear as a crystal, and if you look at your feet, like cold air, white or (,) is floating.

"- The undead is pulling the carriage...?

Then Chris looked at the whole horse and said so.

"An undead, that horse?

"... a rare demon called a crystalline horse. This is the second time I've seen the real thing."

Chris said that it exists only in the back of a forest that is even less popular than where Blackfuorn comes from.

I'm just saying it's rare and it's powerful compared to the demons there.

Hearing that, the idea behind Ain's brain plundered.

In addition to the rare demon information, the undead... I think we both knew each other because of a similar presence.

"You know, I'm starting to feel like I'm not the enemy, what do you think?

"Haha...... yes. Actually, I came to the same idea..."

People like using carriages on mountain roads like this.

There is only one person who has not somehow lost his elegance to the feeling of human separation.

If you think this is near the old king's capital, that prediction is natural too.

Where the two of them had lifted their guard, time after time, the carriage door slowly opened.

The leaves of the surrounding trees glow like street lights, brightening the perimeter of the carriage with the two of them.

"Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh

It has nothing to do with the snow piled up on the mountain road.

Stepping out of the carriage, she looked like the lady who attended the night club.

I welcome the two of them who have come, rocking their proud dark hair in the wind.

"There you are, you've come a lot.... Go to the carriage first. Cain's waiting for you at the castle."

And Sylvia invited the two of them to the carriage.

I can't believe this happened on Mountain Road...

Ein and Chris both thanked each other for a bitter laugh and then a welcome away from common sense.
