Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

Morning of departure. We were assembled together in front of the Viscount Nenas mansion with the lead soldiers in charge of security.

This journey will be accompanied by ten lead soldiers and seven of us, plus a total of twenty ladies, Master Ilias and two samurai.

In front of the aligned lead soldiers, Viscount Naenas and Deacon Mr. Bezel, plus the Viscount Lady, stand.

The journey will be by carriage, crossing the mountain here from Pinning, via Mijara to the southeast, to Clevilley, the territorial capital of the destination Baron Diaz.

Of course, only the Ilyas ride in the carriage, and we're on foot.

"Ten or fewer Ecartes, we've got it all!

"Mm-hmm. I asked for it."

"Ha. Risk your life"

Leading the lead soldier is a troop leader named Ekkart, who has now been voiced by Viscount Nenas and saluted with Bisili, naturally, in the last five days of training, and we all know each other.

Strength is a level that falls one step above Sadzius, but is stronger than the average lead.

He's the overall commander, but not exactly our commander.

In the unlikely event that a leading soldier solidifies around the carriage of Master Elias, we are free to move and destroy or drive away our enemies, we are half independent in fighting.

Say hello to Ilyas, too.

"I'll do my best"

Walk in front of us too, and I'll thank the Viscount for the shout.

I can't even say 'risking my life', but I think I'll try my best until just before I die, because I'm a pretty girl, not Osama, who's not an obscure escort.

No, I don't know if I can handle it properly when it's actually a crisis in my life.

After all, my life is important.

Professionalism? That's a word you don't know.

- Until a year ago, I was a very normal high school student, us.

"Father, I'm coming."

"Oh. Don't put Ilias through a hard time."

The look on the face of Viscount Naenas, who then speaks to Master Ilias in front of the carriage, is a little bitter.

"No. This is also a responsibility of the late, though born to nobility. Leave it to me."

With that said, the Viscount approaches Ilias, looking a little nervous, and softly hugs him.

"You don't really need to feel it, do you? Ilyas hasn't grown up yet. Somewhat unsuccessful, acceptable age."

"Mother...... thank you"

Elias' expression softens slightly to his mother's words.

"Nice to meet you too, Arlyn and Ketra, huh?

"" Leave it to me ""

"Now, Mother, Father, I'm coming!

When Master Ilias says so, he boards the carriage, plus two of his samurai, and somehow two of Mary and Meatier, too.

- No, I don't know why, because I was asked to.

One of the reasons why Master Ilias and I got along is that Mary and I are not the main force behind the water stop. Nevertheless, he was promoted as an escort and talker because, to some extent, he could fight.

As for us, Mary's safety will be ensured, so there is no denying it.

Everyone gets in. When the carriage door closes, the whole thing moves out.

We're in the lead.

We'll continue at the speed of the carriage to our first destination, Mijara, but the scheduled time to get there is approximately four days.

It's not that far away in distance, but Pinning is Viscount Nenas, Mijara is Baron Diaz, and the mountains are caught between them, so there's not much street maintenance.

Of course, this section is the most dangerous.

With solid streets in place from Mijara to Cleville in the territorial capital, safety seems pretty high if you go that far.

There was no such thing as a dangerous demon... but I can't be too cautious when I'm hiring escorts.

◇ ◇ ◇

The first and second days were relatively peaceful.

Neither was the street that wasn't so well maintained as the carriage struggled to get by, nor the demons that come out goblin level.

As for the items near the street, as soon as we found them, we were exterminating them, so there was no need for the lead soldiers to get their hands on them.

There was a little confusion about camping in the unfamiliar outdoors and watching in three shifts, but if you think of it as a camp, it would be bearable for about a week.

Thanks to 'purification', the biggest problem is solved.

By the way, none of the lead soldiers could use magic, but a little unexpectedly, Ketra, the samurai, was the user of light magic.

Apparently, that was one of the reasons he was chosen as his companion, and he was kept clean with Mr. Ketra's "purification" when it came to Master Ilias and the maids.

As for the meal, I have a payment for it, including our stuff, but the flavor is reasonable.

So we also enjoyed the BBQ of the task-bore-even though we just hunted things that got lost out of the woods on the road.

Japanese BBQ with nets, not skewers.

Skewers are good skewers, but it takes a while before they can be eaten.

Meanwhile, netted BBQ is very easy.

As long as the nets are ready, you can arrange a large amount of thinly sliced meat, cook it in a short time, and warm the bread.

The grocery store didn't sell nets that could be used by a large number of people, so I asked Tommy to make more nets, including spare parts, but this was the first time that all the nets in my hand were active.

Although the dish is not very elegant, from the way we eat the same meal Elias seemed to have no particular problems, and he showed quite a healthy house when it came to eating large quantities of Mary and Meatier.

He seemed unable to move after that, but, well, unlike us, who have to prepare for battle, he's covered for escort, so there's no problem.

It was the third day that things had changed slightly like that.

As we climbed the mountains, the road widths narrowed and the road surfaces began to rough up a little bit, and the surrounding forests also became less promising as depressed.

Although there have been holes in the ground before, there was a certain amount of road width, so I was able to avoid passing through, but by this time, difficult places had also begun to emerge.

And finally, a hole about a third of the road width came forward, and we were supposed to pause.

"Is that a soil spill from rainwater?

"Maybe. I'm not sure because I'm not an expert."

Large hole about 50 cm deep, one meter wide and about 70 cm deep.

Pocky holes are hollow as if the soil beneath the ground had spilled or fallen.

"This is... that's quite a fine hole. We'll have to bury it."

Ekart comes beside us, peeking into the hole and quantifying it, peeking in the same way.

For once, I also carry a bridge replacement board to cross these holes, but Master Ilias intends to repair it as much as possible, at least with regard to the street part of Viscount Nenas territory.

It's a little cumbersome, but I can't ignore the client's intentions.

I can't help it, Ekart opens his mouth like he controls us face-to-face.

"Don't worry. We're used to this kind of work. I've got some good stuff lately. Oi! Bring me an array!

"Got it!

Because I had never had a job before, somewhere happily speaking to the crew behind me, the three crew members came with the tools to fill the hole.

"Ah..."

Toya raises her voice unexpectedly when she sees it.

The tool you're in charge of, that's a shovel, no matter what you think.

Apparently, Toya Products, Mr. Gantz & Tommy's shovel are stretching their sales channels all the way around the pinning area.

"What's wrong?

"Ah, you don't have to bother to do it by hand, you can fix it by magic, huh?

Did you also feel ashamed to claim that you made it, or what Toya said was something else?

"What...?

"Right?

"Yeah, about this much. It's not a dungeon."

Yuki responds easily to Toya's confirmation.

Compared to dungeon walls and the like, very normally the magic passing through the soil is easy to handle.

If I work with you, I'll be done in a few minutes.

Unfortunately, there's no shovel.

"What's the amount of magic left? No, can you use dirt magic before then?

"For once, it's an elf. You don't have a problem with magic, do you?

"Really... That's what you guys seem to be doing."

""... uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh ""

Ekart, who loses his job but rather says a little sorry, and the crew returning with a similar look.

Hmm, should I assign you some work?

But on behalf of the carriage escort, I'd say let him kill Goblin.

You noticed I got a little thought into it, and Hulka slaps me on the shoulder and shakes my head.

"Nao, what we need to do is our job. It's like a bad idea to rest?

"Yes, yes. The itinerary is going well, but it's the most dangerous place around here, isn't it? He said we'd better get past him quickly."

"Right. Relax and repair the road...... Because that means fewer escorts."

"No, I'm not going to force you to say this at all, either. So, Yuki, let's bury it."

"Ho ho. Let's keep it a little stiff then ~"

Having finished the easy work, we started to move on again...

"Nah, there's a suspicious reaction"

Begin walking for a few minutes.

There's a different reaction to demons in the forest ahead.

When I give Toya my gaze, Toya is looking at me and nodding, so it's not my fault.

The Hulkas are approaching us like that.

"What's going on?

"No, thanks for the bandit-like reaction."

"Confirm?"

"Almost. There's no camping around here, is there? Besides, we split left and right of the road, two and three, and we're motionless."

"In Japan, I think it's usually leisure, but it's almost impossible here."

"Demons, you know, normally come out."

"We wouldn't be able to... let you know"

"I asked."

Natsuki stepped back toward the carriage and immediately brought Ekart back.

"I heard there was a bandit out there?

"Probably. In the meantime, Ekarts, watch out for the arrows and protect the carriage. If you attack me, we'll deal with it here."

You can't just shoot magic in all of a sudden, and when I say it that way, Ekart came back with words rather strangely.

"You don't have to wait for the attack, you don't have to attack, do you? At a time when the Viscount carriage is acting suspiciously on the way through, you can't complain if it's destroyed."

"Oh, oh, really...? Well, yeah, it's dangerous. If it is, I will."

That's nobility. Around it is outrageous.

If it weren't for Japan, it wouldn't have been self-defense...

- And I thought, if you ask me well, this seems to be such a thing even for a regular caravan.

In a suspicious place, acting suspiciously is worse, this is common sense.

Yeah, we need to be careful.

Sometimes only adventurers lurk in the woods and target demons and animals.

Basically, if you don't do something lurking by the street, you don't seem to have a problem.

Well, it was us explaining that from Ekart, but suddenly running to kill even though nothing has been done is a little high on the hurdle, and as originally planned, we decide to wait for the other person to react.

It is quite unfavourable to be preemptively attacked, but one of the reasons for choosing this is that Hulka is able to use Wind Wall of Wind.

This magic, wind magic level 6, seems to have been practicing intensively since the decision was made to request an escort, so that if it is already about an arrow released from a distance, it can be adequately prevented.

Of course, it would be best if this magic didn't turn up...

"This is definite."

At the end of Toya's gaze, which she said fed up with, was a single tree, falling to block the way.
