On his return, the suburbs of Wang Capital apparently had not yet received any information that the Idra Imperial Army was attacking them, a peaceful landscape no different from usual.

At the edge of the city, two large carriages are parked before we proceed, from which Mr. Eina jumps out.

"Sister!

I haven't even gotten off the horse yet, and Eina on the horse cried quite a bit.

"Sister... good... only the horse came back, so I was worried something had happened..."

Looking around at Eina's words, there are two connected apart from the horse for the carriage.

What I'm carrying on my back is a box filled with drugs the pharmacist gave me.

He came back here earlier than we did.

"I waited here for your sister, and only those horses came back. I soon found out it was your sister's horse when she was, and yet I couldn't see her, so I was really worried..."

Apparently, two horses out of Mr. Rhina's hands tried to return to the house of Wang Du, his usual destination.

That's just what Rhina takes care of with love and loyalty.

And Eina caught it in front of the Wang Capital, and she rubbed her mind a lot that we might have been killed or captured because she didn't look like Reina.

From the carriage, Mr. Listella also comes down and tells me, 'When you came with Eina, your sister didn't definitely try to leave here because she was bound to come back,' and for some reason she seems to enjoy herself.

"Mr. Listella was with you, wasn't she?"

To my words, Mr. Listella smiles and utters words.

"Of course it is. How can I escape alone when my best friend, Eina, is waiting for my employer, Yoichi, to return? Credit is more important to merchants than anything else."

... really, I think I've been blessed in this world.

But right now, I don't have time to be immersed in sentiment.

When Rhina briefly explains the situation and tells her that the Imperial Army is approaching a distance within a few hours, Eina turns around and returns to her harsh expression.

"I'm ready, let's leave for the Grand Duke immediately. The Imperial Army will surround the King's Capital, so you won't be able to escape if you delay. Conversely, a little further away would be safe for the time being."

"Eina, if you'll excuse me for a moment, give him a break from the horse we've been riding."

Even though I'm pretty worn out myself, I still care about horses, Mr. Rhina.

Because I'm such a master, my horse endured the forcible army, and I guess I tried to go home to my husband even when I was free.

Eina will also snort small and arrange water for the horse to drink.

Listella Chamber of Commerce caution sticks who told me about the travel escort brought me water in a crisp motion.

Me and my sister, Mr. Rhina, can get in the carriage and lie down. My sister must have been tired, she fell asleep right after holding my arm.

There, Mr. Eina and Mr. Listella get in, too.

"Aina, shouldn't we let everyone know that the Imperial Army is coming?

In my words, Eina gives me a hard look.

"If you shout that now, it's suspicious if you'll be trusted. The certainty is that you will be captured by soldiers as a fan of rumors."

"Ah..."

That's right. Maybe even the king doesn't know, so naturally that's the way to handle it.

If we get caught now, we will surely be caught in the siege of the Imperial Army's King's Capital.

If that happens, I'll lose the hard work of Mr. Rhina, who ran so hard, and I won't be able to fulfill my promises to the elves in the mine.

It's painful, but you'd be right to keep your mouth shut now.

At the very least, for those close to you, write a short letter to Ellis, the Adventurer Guild, informing them of the situation and asking them to deliver it to someone at the Listella Chamber of Commerce.

I think Rhina's hard work and we're earning some distance for not having to eat, but is that an hour or two?

Only a few moments, but there will be some things you can do in that time.

Would it have been about 20 minutes before the person who went to deliver the letter came back?

We could even put the horses to rest, so we'd leave the carriage in a hurry.

The carriage is slower than the horse, so I was nervous about the danger zone for a while, but when the outer walls of Wang Du are far away and Kasumi is rough, everyone exhales relief in Eina's voice, 'If you get here for now, you'll be fine'.

"Yoichi, I'm sorry, but may I rest for a moment..."

"Ah, yes. Thank you, Mr. Rhina."

I hear Mr. Rhina was up in case. I haven't slept in a whole two and a half days except for a short break in the mine.

When Eina stops by softly and pillows Rhina on her knees (knees), Rhina falls asleep to lose her mind. Rhina just helped me......

Eina, who knee-pillows her sister, looks very happy and has a loose face she hasn't seen much of. I only show it when I'm with Mr. Rhina, it's a special look.

"... I've never seen Eina like this"

Mr. Listella comes next to me and whispers.

"It's rare, isn't it?

"Yes, you wouldn't believe it if you didn't see it with your own eyes"

I totally agree with that.

As the carriage is wrapped in calm air, I guess the limit of fatigue is coming too, my eyelids slowly descending.

Just before I lost consciousness, I feel like I got my knee pillow when I heard Listella say, "Shall I try it too?" but I don't really remember...
