Nozomanu Fushi no Boukensha

Episode 197: Journey and Burning

"I'm leaving. Get in."

After a while, a few passengers gathered, and your man spoke to me and Lorraine.

Get on the carrier and subtly check the passengers' faces.

Me and Lorraine in, six in all.

Is it more or less......

There is only a combination of a young daughter and a middle-aged man and an old couple.

So the adventurer is just me and Lorraine unless that middle-aged man is.

Because the place you are headed to is a place, you have some combat ability, and demons are hard to appear in places opened by human hands like streets, but still none of them are.

Also, the danger on the road is not only demons, but also bandits, so we'll have to work hard when we have to.

There's no way you can tell a boulder to fight an old man or a young daughter.

Lorraine is also so when it comes to her young daughter, but before that she is an amazing magician.

No problem letting them fight.

And he shall sit on the table, and he shall have a whip.

Shiatsu, and slapping the large turtle's armor with it, the bluntly reacting large turtle began to walk snugly as if he had just woken up.

... slow.

But that was before I left the city...

"... I've never been in a Big Turtle carriage before, but it's surprisingly fast."

and Lorraine was a little touched.

In fact, if you take a peek outside from the front of the carrier, the view passes behind you at a considerable speed.

Definitely faster than humans would normally run.

If you look out your face from the side of your table and see how the big turtle moves, its feet are moving quite well and not like turtles.

It is a creature that starts to walk dull, but at an accelerated rate it is fairly fast.

Now that I have horsepower, I still know why I'm treasured.

It's warm and sturdy.

But even so......

"... that's all for today. I'm sorry about the wild boarding house, but it's a long way from Inn Town. There aren't many demons around here, so it should be safe."

Said his lord, and stopped the carriage.

To that word, of the carriage passengers, only Lorraine had eyes open,

"... I see this is what you mean by country..."

and make a statement ridiculing the countryside.

But I didn't know how it felt.

The road to the west is arranged with an accomodation town that stops almost every half day if you proceed normally.

This can't be normal.

But since this road is so rural, I'd say it's common, or day one has decided it's already something like this.

I wish I could build a town because it could be small in between, but the village that was in front of me around here was just destroyed by demons decades ago.

The demons in question seemed well crusaded at the time, but the survivors moved to Mult or, more importantly, the western city if they no longer wanted to live around here.

As such, they have been abandoned without being able to accommodate the town around here.

It's about time the memories of such a disaster faded, and if someone takes the pronunciation, they'll be able to visit the village, but when it comes to people trying to do that, it doesn't show up that easily.

It is a difficult place.

"Nothing like Nojuku, because I'm used to it, okay?

When I say that to Lorraine,

"Well. Once upon a time, you used to drag me around and make me remember."

and was returned.

Mouthfeel like you have it in your roots just a little bit, but naturally it's a joke.

Though it is true that I dragged him around.

Anyway, I couldn't do anything with Lorraine at the time.

Now is the time to do the whole thing with that clear brain and clever hand, but at the time I didn't even know how to collect the trees I needed to burn.

I know all sorts of magic, but I had little idea how to use it in a direction that would help my life.

That's why I couldn't do Nojuku.

However, now it is very convenient to have one Lorraine in Nojuku.

"Who are you? What are you gonna do about cooking dinner?

When Lorraine asks you,

"As much as I have dried meat... but if you want to do something else, do whatever you want. Yes"

And I gave it back,

"Then let me do that. If I could get three copper coins, I'd make your share.

"Mm... right, if you can, please"

With that said, your lord will give Lorraine three pieces of copper coin.

Lorraine then told the other passengers the same, collected the money, and then,

"Do you want to make it, then? Lent."

And he spoke to me.

I buy a lot of food before I leave the city.

Pricing a little higher than the cost won't hurt us.

I took food, pans, and a table for cooking out of a magic bag, and I started looking down, and Lorraine drew a magic formation on the ground.

And when I cast a spell lightly, I, uh, catch fire.

The passengers look at the situation with interest.

Sorcerers are a lot of things to look for, but they don't really perform magic in public.

Especially magic like this, used for life, is rarely used for magic preservation.

But Lorraine has a considerable amount of magic, and her magic formation relationship is very efficient because it's simplified to the extreme, and seems to have a small amount of magic to use to maintain it.

Apparently, that's because I'm not as familiar with Lorraine's magic as I am yet, so there are many parts I don't know for sure, but in fact, Lorraine does this kind of thing lightly.

The magic formations themselves do seem very pretty, even if they try to base themselves on preliminary knowledge.

If I had learned from Lorraine too, one of these days, I'd be able to do about that......

By the way, when I'm alone, when I say how I'm going to go wild, I do a simple bonfire, not a magic formation.

This one's more common as an adventurer.

Because the preservation of magic is an important issue.

... hey, while I'm thinking about it, I'm done looking down on the ingredients.

Put it in the pan with the seasoning, and then...

"Lorraine."

With that said, Lorraine casts a spell.

Then the soil on the ground rose and the impromptu kamado was ready.

Place the pan on top of it, and further into the pan, Lorraine waters it with magic.

This seems like something I can do, but I'm afraid I'm going to flood it with force or something wrong, so I'm still at Lorraine's disposal.

Lorraine put as much water as she needed into the pan perfectly, making sure of it and tightening the lid.

If you simmer like this, it's a pretty out-of-the-box but reasonably good simmer complete.

It's a dish that can't even be called cooking if it's all over the city, but when it's in Nojuku, it's good enough.

After a while the lid was opened, a good aroma spread around along with the hot air.

The parents and children, the old couple, and his lord looked at it with pleasure.

with a simmer in them, and then handed out something with ham and cheese on black bread,

"Well, do you want some?"

and everyone started eating where Lorraine said.

The old couple prayed to God for something before they ate, but with a prayer they'd never heard of, perhaps an indigenous religion or something like that.

There are quite a few villages around here that celebrate the inexplicable gods because they are rural.

Say, nothing. That's not to blame, you're a believer, but it's over.

That shrine I fixed before is a mystery.

The simmering was quite popular and I was told that between now and my destination, I would like to ask if I could even make it for a fee.

As far as we're concerned, I bought a lot of stuff with that intention, so it's perfectly fine.

The capacity of a magic bag that can even pack a giant tarask is as easy to swallow as six weekly ingredients.

Finish your meal and watch time will come.

Relatively safe doesn't mean there are no demons at all, so we need to keep an eye on what's going on.

In this case, unless there are two of you, anything that seems to be physically fit among the passengers is left to take turns at night.

In this case, me and Lorraine, plus a middle-aged man with parents and kids.

Honestly, the most suitable for this job among this member is me, who has almost no problem sleeping, but the undead. Why don't you sleep, I'll do it! There's no reason to be bright about it, so I usually put your people in and did it while the four of us took turns.

You, middle-aged man, Lorraine, in my turn.

Because I was not very sleepy, I slept only a little while when your man was doing it, and I was awake the rest of the time.

And when I'm having a chat with Lorraine that doesn't matter while surrounding the bonfire...

"... an uninvited guest"

and Lorraine shrugged.

I feel signs of people in the woods behind me.
