In the evening.

Rowe was about halfway through the road to the trading city, manipulating his horse.

running horses, all at once through the streets, and coming through the meadows,

... through this forest road, a little down the street and you'll arrive.

Along the way, although stuck due to a malfunction, it was somehow helped by a thankful encounter.

... At this rate, although it will be a little later than the desired time, it will likely come by night.

The late hour has left no other carriages around, happy or unhappy.

The forest road that is going on is somewhat narrow enough for one carriage to pass through.

If there's a wagon or a pedestrian walking side by side, they can't get the speed or queue up, and they slow down.

Since that's not the case now, things are going well.

If you go at this rate, you won't have a particular problem with your job either.

... really, thanks for meeting me.

In front of me, looking lightly at the two quietly bickering, I was thankfully moving on. Then,

"... hmm? 」

At the end of his gaze, he saw some kind of cargo overturned.

The road is half blocked.

I saw a broken tree by the side of the luggage truck.

... Did you even have a wooden crash and just leave the carriage...?

Nevertheless, there is still a gap in the road.

If you go through the side, you'll be able to go over there without a problem.

Rowe, who thought so, manipulates the reins and slows them down.

Off the road, unevenness on the ground becomes intense at the roots of trees and in stone. To the extent that you don't fall there, but go straight ahead with some momentum.

The direction was also successfully adjusted and attempted to pass through the side of the rolled carrier.

That's when.

「――」

From the shadow of the carrier, people jumped out.

That's also in the form of an attempt to jump onto this palace.

"... Huh!? 」

Lowe is breathtaking about his aggressiveness.

In contrast, a man of good stature hid his jumped face with a cloth about half the time,

"Stop."

I grabbed this shoulder and was about to pull out my hips knife.

"A wild thief! 」

As soon as he made that decision, Lowe ate his teeth and

"Huh!! 」

The horse was run sideways all at once with the manipulation of the reins, and the carriage was slid.

At the same time, pull your shoulders.

The fact that the carriage was shaken and his hand was off Lowe's shoulder caused the man who hid his face to lose his stomping,

「 …… ! 」

I fly out of your podium.

Successfully dropped off. But...

"Let's do it inside."

The shaken off burglar makes a spin of his body as it is and lands it slippery.

Looks light-hearted instead of physical.

"Ha, the boulder is a merchant entrusted with a carriage bearing the company's crest. I don't know what to do with it."

And in hiding your face, you come at me with that laugh, but you don't have time to deal with them.

Let's rebuild the horse's operation and keep running through it. That's what I thought.

"But you stopped, didn't you? 」

The horse fluttered and fell apart.

"What's up!? 」

Just face this voice, and the horse breaks its leg and goes in.

Earlier moves have been made many times before when they were attacked by warcraft and thieves. I'm used to horses, and I've never been hurt before.

Besides, it still didn't look like the horse made the impossible move.

"Huh...! What have you done...! 」

Lowe rushes down from your platform and rushes to his horse.

And when he glanced at the burglar, the man laughed with only his eyes.

"Oh, my God, you can't break a bone. Horses are property, too."

Saying, the man pounded the needle off hand.

If you look, there are also several needles stabbed in the back leg of the horse.

"Needle...?! No way...!"

"Oh. It's a weaker poison than I marked a while ago, but the immediate effect is origami. Well, you can't run now if you hang the potion."

In that word Lowe was convinced.

Prior to coming here, a poison needle had been shot by a horse because of him.

"- Horses and cars stopped. Then you guys, it's your job. Come out."

And the man who hid his face raised his voice like that.

Then, from the bush near it, a few men came out loose.

"Of a group, are you a burglar..."

In these words, the men grin.

And one of them speaks to a man of good stature.

"Boss, you caught it at a good time today"

"Whoa, it's a carriage with a company crest on it. It's going to be a lot of money, but you've come a long way."

From what I've been called the boss, I'm guessing a man of good stature is the head of this group.

And the head of the burglar pulls the knife out of his hips, and, again, he comes here with his gaze.

"Well, the merchant there. I want you to leave everything you have, including your life."

The man, he says, sounds like a lot of fun.

This one's already been hit with a horse and I guess it's because I know I can't get away with it.

"There seems to be no room for negotiation..."

"Oh. Because it's troublesome to go out of your way to get a guy and sell him. I also know that the carrier is loaded with good products. Then the rest is easy. You put your life here, and we'll get horses and luggage. That's all."

To the words of the head of the bandits, the bandits around them also laugh. And

"So - well, you get in the way and die fast."

With words, the head of the bandit has thrown a knife.

A quick move I'm used to.

The knife is fast, of course.

... This is inevitable...!

Even Lowe, who is not in a combat position, was as fast as he could tell.

One more blink and a knife will be standing on this chest.

My head came to mind with the anticipated diagram, my body tense,

"... Huh! 」

Breathtaking. At that moment,

"[Wind plays]"

A knife looming in front of him, scattered by the wind, fell to the ground.

"Huh...? 」

To the phenomenon, Lowe opened his eyes.

I didn't know what the hell happened. but the next moment, Lowe understood.

"Whoa. You think there's going to be a bandit out there who won't even listen? It's a mess."

Behind Lowe's back, with Eisen standing with a cane.

I got off the carrier, and he said he protected me.
