That Person. Later on…

A few minutes after Meal ran in the direction where he jumped, I was feeling signs of someone following me. Running at such speeds, the signs never go away. I don't think it's going to open like this, and I stopped on the spot and looked back, and there was, uh...

"Oh? What's wrong with stopping your legs? We need to hurry for Master Meal."

"... why are you here?"

Floyd, Naminissa's butler, was there. with a frigid grin. I look at Floyd half-eyed but flush him with a cool face.

"The reason I'm here is simple. We are here to help Wazz under Naminisa's instructions."

"... cooperation? No, nothing."

"I can feel and guide you to the place where Master Meal would have been jumped?

"You need it. Please."

Let's accept goodwill honestly. Don't lose sight of your purpose. The important thing now is to get Meal back over my head.

"So where did Meal get jumped? Isn't that Hot Springs in the north?

"Yes, I suppose that's for sure, but if you deduce from the word that he used to say that he wanted to make people stop fighting Master Waz, he's the one pointing to, but I thought it was probably Master 'Northern Brave Haosui'. Hot Springs North is where Lady Haosui lives."

"Hey, who's quitting?"

Rude!! We're still human, for once!! Why don't I show you my guild card? I won't show it to you because there are a lot of problem people in the skills section.

"So, uh, is it Haosui, the brave man of the North? You're a brave man, but you're one of those guys like that merchant?

"What do you say, Master Haosui is not interested in good or evil. However, he was more inclined to seek out the strong... I thought he might have gotten those parts..."

"... Huh."

"Well, if you see him, you'll see."

Floyd gracefully salutes. The deed is perfectly butler, but I feel so frigid about it.

"So, how do we get to that hot spring town from here?

"Right...... if you proceed at the speed earlier, there is a village ahead across the river that lies ahead, so let's stay there for a night first. From there, there are a few choices ahead, so let's discuss them at the inn."

"Okay. Okay, let's go."

As it is, I will run at the same speed as Floyd's directions. Huh, I wanted to try and see how far I could get, so I went a little faster, but Floyd arrived with a cool face that hadn't scratched a single sweat. Is that it? Maybe he's pretty strong, huh?

"Obviously you've increased your speed, but don't come here often"

"I'm a butler."

...... I knew it was frigid.

I went over the river at a terrible rate... or I gave it too much speed and ran straight over the river. And of course Floyd...... tried to head straight to the village, but someone was down bleeding from his shoulders on the side of the road. As soon as we're in sight, we're rapidly slowing down and heading for the embrace.

"Are you all right?

Speak up, but there was no response as to whether he was unconscious or not, and it was his elderly grandfather who was falling when he stayed close. Floyd confirms Grandpa's condition.

"... still alive"

Floyd bandages out of somewhere, treats the wound with the procedures that would be appropriate, and takes Grandpa to rest in the shade that was nearby.

"Are you from the village that lies ahead? If so, maybe something happened in the village."

"... well, if this guy wakes up, you'll see"

Two feelings in me are too aggressive right now: one, of course, wanting to go help Meal right now, and the other, not being able to abandon the person in front of me. I am a little frustrated because I am unable to handle the two successfully. I breathe deeply and vomit to calm down first. Then Floyd called out when he realized how I was doing.

"It's okay. The purpose of that man is to send Master Waz to Hot Springs. It's not about hurting Master Meal."

"... I know that"

I assure you I don't have that assurance. Well... is it to relieve my frustration at all... I'm not cool at all... Phew... trust Meal, I'll go as usual to see you at me as usual...

"... Ugh, this is..."

When Floyd asked what was going on because his grandfather woke up, his grandfather named him Buff, a resident of the village ahead of him, and why he had fallen injured, the village was attacked by bandits earlier, but he managed to repel them because of the small number of bandits, but he was out looking for them because the cattle he had kept were excited to escape. I was injured, but I lost my mind because I was looking for it without treatment. Asked about the situation, Floyd and I consulted lightly, and it was possible that the bandits were attacking the village again, so I went to the village with Mr. Buff, and Floyd was supposed to look for the cattle that escaped and bring them in.

Floyd immediately entered the woods, which were close to finding the cow, and I headed to the village with Mr. Buff in charge.
