The journey to Strahl with Princess Eligor could never be described as going well.

Because she caused trouble every time and was forced to run to the solution.

But she wasn't offended, not everything was careless, and it seemed as if she was cursed that trouble would come along as if it had been a bad roundabout.

There are only a few such routes left. Walk a few hours down the street and you'll reach the city of Strahl.

At that stage, I discovered something strange.

"Hmm? That, what is it?

"What's wrong, Nicole?

"Yeah, look, that"

I pointed in the direction.

Fronted carriages are not fronted in the longitudinal direction so that they can enter and exit with your table. In other words, the direction of travel and the back were visible.

In the direction of the carriage, the walls of Strahl are already hidden from view from the shade of the forest trees and can be seen to arrive in just a few moments. Is it a dozen kilometers away or something?

The problem is the presence of horseback riding coming this way with tremendous momentum down the streets in between.

"Horseback riding, is it"

"Ellie, what are you doing again?

"And rude! No matter how much I am, I can't make a commotion in a city I haven't reached!

"You can wake me up if you wear it...?

I can't ignore the scratch or the shadow from the front. The numbers are only one horse, so if it's a fight, this one's in your favor, but you'll need to be alert.

"Finia. Just in case, take turns with Michelle. When you're in battle, please help us with magic from time to time."

"Okay. Michelle."

"Huh."

"Michelle, keep her front up so she can shoot in any direction and wait."

"Okay."

To Finia and my words, Michelle returns a slightly distracted voice. But this fluent voice prevents us from overpowering our shoulders.

And react to my voice and set up the shield that the cloud was carrying, too. The only reason I haven't pulled out my sword yet is to prevent the shadow from giving me a futile nervousness if I'm not the enemy.

Setting up a sword may also cause the opponent to recognize this one as an enemy and enter a useless battle.

"There's only one enemy, but don't be alarmed. There's no sign of ambushes around."

"Roger. I mean, you just have to watch out for 'that'."

"What shall I do?

"Ellie waits in the carriage until this one instructs. Keep your face hidden if you can."

Princess Eligor is a celebrity whose face is also known to the citizens. And its popularity has reached this distant city of Strahl.

Knowing his face made it abundantly possible for every trouble to come from the other side.

As we were getting ready that way, the horseback riding appearance was imminent to this day.

"Oh, uh."

To the approaching shadow, I speak up to listen to the circumstances.

But without stopping that leg, the rider runs right next to this carriage.

I never got this voice. And when the evidence was wrong, he said, "Forgive me, but it is urgent! 'So much so that I left a reply.

Instead, when I'm in a hurry, I'm like, 'Get out of the way!' It was not a curse, but a polite return of words, so let's just say it was a truly honest response.

"Well, are you glad you didn't have any trouble?

"But what is it? Looks like we were in a real hurry."

"From what I've seen, you looked like a conductor. Was there something going on in the city?

"Brigadier? In this direction, it's Raum, the king's capital."

When I spoke that far, I heard a heavy collapse of Zun from the direction of Strahl.

Collapse, not explosion sound. I mean, the sound of something falling apart.

That echoes to this place more than ten kilometers away. That alone makes it possible to speculate that something serious has happened.

"Hey, what!?

"Michelle, look! Cigarettes in the city!

Enough earthly smoke to be visible from this place. You mean something so collapsed?

You can see the city building in front of the soil and smoke. That means that something collapsed on the opposite side of this one.

"Much! Nicole, let's hurry!

"Yeah, but..."

More than ten kilometers from here to the city. No matter how fast you rush the carriage, it takes thirty minutes.

"Only, I'll be ahead of you in the transfer (teleport)!

"Nicole, alone?

"And I know you're worried, because that'll get you there faster"

"Wait! I'm coming too!

"Finia?"

Hearing my words, Finia started claiming she was coming with me.

When you look into those eyes, you don't seem to have said you're coming with me because it's me.

"That much collapse...... there must be quite a few injured people out there at the collapse site. I was wondering if I should accompany Nicole, who can also use healing magic."

"I see. Then Finia too -"

"Then I'll come with you."

"Hey, even Eli!?

"If the scene is confusing, you should obviously have instructions from someone with an upper identity. Of course, if it's gonna get in the way, I'm gonna keep you company."

I'm told, for a few moments, I think.

If that collapse had killed or injured a leader in the field, we would need someone to give instructions.

If there is a replacement, it is fine, but if not, the confusion will be prolonged and the victims will increase visibly.

If Eligor, the princess, rushes there, she will take command for now, and tentative (razor-sharp) control will be obtained.

That would definitely reduce the number of victims, as it would also allow rescue operations that were an organization.

"Okay. Take Eli and Finia. Michelle, I'm sorry, but bring the carriage to the city. Cloud is Michelle's escort."

"Copy that!"

Okay, I'll hurry up.

Michelle is the only one who can steer the carriage beyond taking Finia. We need her to stay and move the carriage more than we need to leave her on this spot.

Besides, I couldn't even follow the cloud of horseback riding.

I drew a magic formation and transferred together by joining hands with Finia and Princess Eligor.
