Senpensekai no Madoushoshi

Leaving the front desk, day four. It has been a week today since I left Sorletta Ritta and will have more or less digested half the way to Auschnell.

"Hehe, the road is guzzling."

"Oh, yeah."

It apparently rained last night while I was asleep, and there's water hoarding all over the road.

Goltmund's hooves are bigger and less likely to sink into mud than horses. So our carriage is still relatively better, but so is a horse-drawn carriage with heavy luggage.

Where the road is getting worse, it seems like it's going to be hard inside to slow down or bypass.

We may not be able to reach the village we are scheduled for today as it is. When Master Yuhanna needed to see how we were doing earlier, she was so blurred.

"Fine, what about unicorns? Light anytime, anywhere."

Toslin, the man on duty, looked at me and said so, as he put Carol on his lap.

No matter how powerful Goltmund may be, it will be tough to walk all of us on muddy roads for a long time. That's what Saluena decided. She told me to get off the carriage earlier.

"Yeah, she's clever and helpful. Actually, I'm just on it."

Does that mean you can go down and walk at first? I thought so, but it didn't mean summon a unicorn and get on with it.

So now I'm crossing a unicorn. It lays boundaries locally on the ground so that the hooves do not get to the ground, as they did when they ran down the snow path. So regardless of the muddy road, the unicorn goes on.

Laplice and Saluena say that if you apply this, you can run the sky too, but the unicorns apparently don't like the high places, and I haven't tried running the sky yet.

I'd love to try it if I had a place where I could practice safely, but so far it looks far away.

"Unicorn. Virgin guardian. That means that the Iries that can cross it..."

"Stop prying. Old man or you."

"Geez!

Zubishi eats chops on his head and Carol enjoys it? Scream.

The exchange itself is the same as where we were snowball when we went to the village of Lelton. At that time, Toslin misread the map along the way, and I wish he'd let it go. Carol almost buried it in the snow because she had teared it up.

Carol is in Toslin's arms right now and is in a good mood for eating chops and moving her ears picturesque. Toslin and the jokes like earlier are repeated from time to time, shaky.

They were originally close enough to be super close, but until now, it felt like we were fighting friends.

But now I'm kind of...

"Hmm? What's wrong? Iris."

As I look at the jizz and toslins, I look back at her when I notice my gaze.

"Oh, it's nothing."

"Is it a little cold? Do you want this warm Mr. Carol?

"Oh? You used a rare and difficult word for me."

Sure, Carol is warm. How many times have you been helped by that warmth this winter?

"Use it, this?

Toslin grabs Carol's root and lifts it up a bit. I wonder what bitterness it would be to lift a small carol for Toslin to wield a large sword lightly.

"Nano!? What is this? What is this!! Don't treat Mr. Carroll like that!!

Naturally Carol raised her voice of protest and slammed her hands and feet. But above all, it's the tail that catches my eye. It's like a fuzzy broom. It's shaken to the left and right with a boom, and it's not cute.

"Haha, I'm fine with these temperatures. I grew up in a snow country, so I'm cold resistant."

"Really? Well, I'm not saying I can't,"

Toslin let the lifted Carol sit on his knees with Ston as it was.

"Whoa, you think it's okay to keep Mr. Carol in a bad mood?

"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'll do one for dinner, so get in a good mood."

"About one, Carol."

"Two."

"Forgave."

"Hey, you. It's a lot to worry about. Don't follow the one you don't even know if they tell you I'll give you a snack, okay?

They always fit, but I still feel different than before.

Somehow, it feels close to the two of us.

Toslin hugging Carol looks happy, and Carol being hugged also looks happy.

"Even in the streets of the same beginning, you've become a lot more of a big place than you were then."

Watching the exchange between the two, Mr. Rosé and Saluena came across the horse from the rear row.

They each borrowed a horse to lighten the carriage.

"Rosa tells me this is the path Lannolute took with him for the Auschnell crusade."

"... yeah, but..."

Saluena challenged Auschnell a thousand years ago. But I couldn't help it, and they took me down. And with the negative thoughts of the evil dragon, he became a madman.

That's how the puppet became alike, Saluena betrayed humanity and became known as the Dark Purple Knight, who hates the Goddess.

I haven't really talked about it before because of that past......

"Has your sister never been in this area?

Mr. Rosé said something very softly that I was wondering about.

"No, the land I fought and defeated against Auschnell is far west of here. And the place where I was defeated by the goddess, who became the knight of the dark purple."

"It was only then that Auschnell moved to this continent and became Negijo. Therefore, I have no knowledge of Lano Route."

"... you are"

Mr. Rose doesn't look sad, but he doesn't look like he's gone.

I asked because I was curious. It just feels like it. I didn't feel anything like reluctance towards Saluena, just a little, uh-huh, pretty surprised.

"So, like Mr. Iris, this will be your first king's capital."

"Right. The feeling of stepping into a new land is always heartwarming."

"Lano Route. A great hero who defeated Auschnell and laid the foundations of this country today. Oddly enough, Isles is now following the trajectory that Lano Route followed. As the same dragon killer hero."

Late to Mr. Rosé and the others, Master Yuhanna. Rizzelaich sits behind me, and, as usual, he turns his eyes to me like he's interested.

"Dragon killer. Don't let that look win you by too many names."

"Oh, no... I know you didn't tell me..."

"You're complimenting me, aren't you? I don't like strong guys, but not on this if that's an adorable woman. Weak yourself and reveal the secrets that hold its strength. It's Iris. Your lord is a big fan. Looking at the Lord inspires my willingness to research. Can I have it now, or can I have it?

"No, even if they say so..."

"That voice again, you pervert!!

When I was having trouble responding, Lapris, an automatic Ritzereich interception device, put his face out of my hair and started shooting me in the mouth.

"I'm not a bastard. I'm a little old for deception, but I'm a pretty girl."

"Ugh! Don't get any closer to the Iries than that!! I'm so sorry, sister!!

"Me. Well, Iris is my lord. Don't bother being made your own."

When Saluena says so with a bitter smile, Ritzereich puts his hand on his chin and makes a troubled face.

"Mmmm, the Dark Purple Knight is the opponent...... no matter how many eagles, the minutes are bad. I can't help it, I'll have to cage Iris later."

"I guess I can't even decide later!! Iris is mine. Take it easy on yourself!!

No, no, it's not even yours, is it?

I just need to give this place to you. Laplice clutching my hair in the gutter. How dare you make so much noise with gaggers that I admire that that's all the words that come out. My ears don't hurt because of it.

It was when I suffered from a headache caused by tinnitus and closed my eyes.

"... Huh?

I heard a pippy, short, birdy sound, and I saw something only for a moment.

I closed my eyes, so I can't see anything, but I do...

"Hey, hey Laplice, be quiet!!

"Ah? But he..."

"Yeah, thanks! But I only wish now... something... hear me..."

Close your eyes, clear your ears, and focus your consciousness on the back of your eyelids.

Then I knew I heard it again. Now I know clearly. Birds chirping, and this is...

"Phoenix?"

Behind my eyelids, a video emerges. It looked down on the ground from above, and I understood then.

The sight behind this eyelid is what Phoenix is looking at right now.

And at the end of the gaze from the sky, at the end of the road a few kilometers from here. So I thought the merchants and a bunch of monsters were attacking me.

"Ahead, there's a bunch of monsters!! The merchants are under attack!!

"What?

The merchant squad has an escort and stands resolutely against the monster. But a lot of them are passive. Everyone gets hit if it stays like this. Besides, besides, there's a face in there that I've seen.

We met at Sorletta Ritta's guild, it's Mr. Peach Seeds.

I opened my eyes when Phoenix's eyes captured what she looked like.

"I have to help!!

And he could not stay, and he commanded the unicorn to rush out like an arrow.
