The next morning, the three Ethereal Deanna Antogal were in front of the city gate. We were talking about a lot of demons, not only in the mines, but all around us, so this time we decided to leave Ed with the inn.
"Is the mine of interest close to here?
"No, there's a little distance. You should put it on in the evening when you get there on foot."
Antogal answered Aotearoa's question, but Aotearoa glanced at the answer.
"Ma, wait. If it was on foot, yes. I have my hands ready, in this case my legs, see?"
When Antogal looked in the direction indicated, he saw a dwarf coming to the gate with three horses.
"At a rented horse shop I know, you can get on with this all the way to the local area. I'll be on foot on my way home..."
The man from the rented stable meets the Ethereals when he arrives nearby.
"I got the price yesterday, so give the horses a signal when you get to your destination. Then I'm willing to come back to the city."
"Oh, you're right as usual. It's okay, I know."
The man at the loaner was going to explain to the Aotearoa, but Antogal was told what he knew, so he stopped talking there. The man was not in a bad mood, but returned to the city after another meeting with the Ethereals.
"Hehe, actually, after I went to the castle yesterday, I also stopped by the rental stable to talk to him. Getting home will be on foot, but this will make it easier just to get there. I use it every once in a while."
Antogal said so proudly, rubbing his nose with his index finger.
"Well, it helps to have a horse just to go. Go home, take a break and run my grant magic and you'll figure it out."
"Well, if it seems to be late at night, shall we rest in the tent?"
"Oh, come on. There's a horse in my driver, so I guess a little more like this won't give you a bee?
Antogal was in the mood that Aotearoa and Deena had begun to talk about their return.
"Oh, bad, bad. You've arranged so well, thank you. It'll take too long to get there and back on foot."
"Yes, thank you."
"Ooh. You just have to understand."
Antogal became confused this time over the two of them who honestly responded.
"That's right, and it's time to leave? I'll ride this one."
"I will make this child"
Aotearoa chose a slightly disappointed horse with black hair and Deena a slightly plump feminine horse. Inevitably, one of the remaining ones would be antagonistic, but the horse had a less neat face.
"... am I this guy? Well, horses aren't faces, thank you."
The horse, who felt badly spoken, put his mouth on Antogal's face.
"Oh, man. Stop it!"
While Antogal and the horses were twisted, Aotearoa and Deena had set out across each horse.
"Oh, wait. You have to leave me!
With that cry on their backs, the two headed to the mine. It was ten minutes after that that Antogal managed to catch up to the two of us with him on his back.
Going down the mountain path for a few hours, I couldn't hear the signs of the animals or the sounds of the birds that had just been felt.
"That's proof that the mines are getting closer, it's time for the demons to come out"
Antogal gets off the horse when he says so. Aotearoa and Deena also guess from the situation and get off the horse.
"Horses are at their limit. These guys are dangerous."
"Right... if I did anything, would you go home on your own?
Aotearoa remembers what the loaner said and asks Antogal a question.
"Oh, this is gonna be the horse whistle, but if I blow this, it means you're gonna go home on your own."
Antogal blew the horse whistle vigorously when he saw Ethereum and Deena's face and confirmed to nod. The horses returned to their original path, wondering if they had moved their ears tingly.
"Heh, wow. We really went back on our own."
Aotearoa was impressed to see that.
"Hey, it's time we had an examination. Don't get distracted."
As Antogal walked in the direction of pointing his finger, the inquisition revealed itself.
"That one."
"That's it."
"Is that it..."
Only Deena was nervous in other lovingless interactions. Aotea noticed it and placed her hands on Deena's shoulder.
"I'm fine. If Deena loses, she's about as good as me."
"... right!
Deena was still stiff but smiling back at Ethereal Tai's words.
Antogal talks to the guard as he arrives at the checkpoint. The two of them watched Ethereal Tails as we talked. After a while more talk, Antogal invited Ethereum and Deena.
He said he'd check his strength inside. Let's go inside the inquest.
"Okay...... Deena, let's go"
"Yes!"
From the look on Deena's face, it was solidity and a temperamental look.
When the three of them went inside, the first thing they saw was the square. And there were a few knights in armor. In it, a man in the most luxurious armor takes a step forward.
"Who say that your lords will escort His Holiness Antogal? It seems unreliable at first sight."
The knights around him were sneering at the man's words as he mocked the Ethereal Princes.
"But the signs of getting out of it seem like those of the mighty...... quite interesting"
To that extent, the man glanced at the knights who were around him. The knights get an awkward look when they point out that the earlier mockery was off-target.
"And who's going to be my opponent?
"I will deal with you"
To the man's inquiry, Deena took a step forward and gave him a name.
"Hmm, a woman? I can't help it. I don't think I need it."
The man seemed to have something to feel about Deena's standing, and he was grinning that it seemed interesting.
"Quick and bad, but let me test your powers, okay?
Deena nods at the words.
"Now let's have the escorts back down. Stay back, you guys."
Ethereum and Antogal in the men's words, and the knights fall back behind their respective factions.
