Chapter 177.1

Chapter 177.1 \n<h1>Chapter 177 Uncomfortable Feeling</h1>\n\n　After more than half a day of walking, we reached our first stop quite peacefully.　The journey this time isn’t an adventure. We will avoid encampments as much as possible, and the Emperor’s safety will be our first priority.

　The people of the city greeted the carriage bearing the seal of Zebrudia with cheers as it was driven in.　We were just escorts, so we were a bit away from the main carriage, so we didn’t receive it directly, but it was quite a nice and fresh feeling.  

　Thanks to my Relic, I was able to stay comfortable even when I wasn’t used to riding horses. However, what made me feel more at ease than anything was――.

“Yosh, nothing happened.” (Cry)

“Hah!? Because of you, Yowaningen, you delayed our departure, didn’t you, desu! You definitely have to buy a new horse in this city, desu!” (Kruz)

“I don’t have money on me.” (Cry)

“Wha…… Whaaaaaaaaat!?” (Kruz)

　While I was clenching my first tightly――Kruz, who was on the horse in front of me, turned red from ear to ear and shouted. However, thanks to my 『Perfect Vacation (Comfortable Vacation)』 I was in a comfortable mood. I will also have to ask her to recharge this Relic later……　As Kruz instructed, I held her tightly and said.

“So what I was saying was that――There were no bandits, no Monsters, no Treasure Shines and no Phantoms that appeared. No natural disasters appeared. That’s a breakthrough, you know.” (Cry)

“Hah? We are just on an escort mission, so there was no way that so many things would appear, desu.” (Kruz)

“…… Well, it is true that there is also that line of thinking.” (Cry)\n

　There is no doubt that nothing happening is better, but…… You sure lived a happy life……　I looked at Kruz warmly when she was *girori* glaring at me.

" "

“Stop saying suggestive and meaningless things, desu! Yowaningen, you should know your place a little bit better.” (Kruz)

 

　As expected of the Emperor and his delegation, the lodgings provided were luxurious and reserved for nobility.　His Majesty and his personal bodyguard will take the top floor of the inn. And we will fill up the lower floor.

　To make future adjustments, I was inside a room in the inn with Franz-san after he finished giving directives to the knight under him. Franz-san frowned and said.

“I guess my fear was unfounded. The 『Fox (Kitsune)』 got scared of us.” (Franz)

“No, no, you can’t let your guard down yet. You never know what might happen.” (Cry)

“You bastard was the only one who caused trouble this timeee! Don’t say something serious when you are dressed like a foooool! Don’t hit my shoulder, I’ll cut you offfff!” (Franz)

　Franz face turned red as he was yelling at me while being *ponpon* hit on his shoulder by the still energetic carpet. You won’t be able to build a good relationship with the carpet if you get angry at something of this level.　Kruz straightened her back, sipped her tea with graceful movement, and said.

“Don’t yell like this, desu. You don’t have to be so angry, as long as I’m here, this escort is as good as a success. Even if there is an opponent you can’t handle, you can leave it to me, desu!” (Kruz)\n“And there’s Kechakchakka too. Moreover, there’s also 《Still Water (Shisui)》.” (Cry)

　There was even Kilknight. It is about time I need to figure out how to feed it.　Kechakchakka was still dressed as suspiciously and laughing as suspiciously as ever. I really envied Term’s boldness to be able to stay calm with members like this.

“Say your name first, desu! You “Yowaningen (Weak Human)”!” (Kruz)

 

“Hmpf…… Whatever. 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 as someone who can see through all of this, I’d like to hear your point of view.” (Franz)

　………… Eh?

　I opened my eyes in surprise. Kruz, Kechakchakka, and Term’s eyes were all focused on me.　Don’t tell me, maybe…… I have something to do……? It is only troubling for me when you ask for my opinion. My opinion has never been right on anything in my whole life. Weeell, in a sense it had been right, but each time it was right in a weird way.

　However, it is my job, so I can’t just say no. I can at least give him my opinion.　I crossed my legs and pretended to be badass. And I immediately started to make excuses.

“Well, that’s troubling, even I can’t see the future. So it’s not going to be a hundred percent sure, but from my experience… Or rather it is just a rule of thumb, so there are things that I do know.” (Cry)

　I *chirari* looked at Term. It is a speculation that Term, who is Level 7 and second next to me in the highest Level, will do something in case of emergency.　Term frowned at me, but I said without worrying about it.

\n　However, I can’t say that in front of the person himself. I *chirari* glanced at Kechakchakka who was letting out a “Kekekekeke” laugh and looked at Term.

“You don’t understand?” (Cry)

“………………  Fumu.” (Term)

　Did he understand? Without seemingly being offended by my question, Term said with a serious expression.

“Well, fine. I have never shown you my power before, right? Let me show you what the essence of my magic can do.” (Term)
