Dad. Are you sure youâre okay?\n
It would be safe to go to All Town, but your sister is being targeted by various nobles.
If youâre found, your fatherâs family will be in trouble.
If that happens, you can go to âŠâŠ.
Donât worry, your family wonât get involved.
Thatâs the best I can do.
Iâm going to leave everything about Malia to my master.
Master has already taken care of several people like Mariya. One more now wonât be a problem.
Are they also related to the nobility?
Oh, many people go astray when they have money and power.
I couldnât help but notice the dumbfounded expression on my fatherâs face.
The nobleman I know is the Lord of Foronda.
Oh, there was also Count Faltoria, though he has now fallen into criminal slavery.
Heâs a nobleman drowning in power and money, okay.
That means one-half âŠâŠ of the population is indeed a lot of people who step out of line.
What a shame, because there are only two noblemen that I know.
Half âŠâŠ no way, thatâs not that many, is it?
âSo if our carriage is empty, you want us to load something?
Ranji-san is in front of me, and I bring a skewer to my mouth.
âWhat? âŠâŠ Oh, sorry.
Iâm not sure if it was really unconscious, but Ranji-san looked awkward when he saw what I was holding in my hand.
Mr. Ranji smiled bitterly, but apparently he liked the skewers.
His expression changed completely and he ate it with relish.
I chuckled as Ega-san shifted her position to keep an eye on Ranji-san.
Letâs hurry up and make lunch.
I saw that my father had placed something on the kitchen table, a magic item that would prevent people from overhearing our conversation.
Ega and Ranjiâs expressions tightened a little as he pressed the button to activate it.
I want you to transport one of the women to All Town. Our destination is to the Master.
Ranji and Ega gave small nods to their fatherâs words.
The druid asked me to carry her, so of course I will. But if youâre going to use something like that, there must be a reason. Well, I wonât ask what happened. The less I know, the better I can hide it when Iâm interrogated somewhere else. Are you sure you want to go to Monz?
Thank you. Thank you. â Just as far as the master, please.
Ega looked thoughtful at his fatherâs reply.
I donât mind the hassle, but with âŠâŠ people, itâs impossible to move around without anyone knowing. What should we do âŠâŠ?
Ega-san muttered, patting Ranji-sanâs hand.
It seems that he was reaching for a second bottle.
You canât be too careful or too fond of it.
ââŠâŠ Yes!ăWe were going to hire someone to take care of the bride, so letâs call it that woman.
Ranji-san nodded at Ega-sanâs words. \nThatâs right. Is this woman registered with the Adventurers Guild or the Commercial Guild?
Ranji-san looked relieved at his fatherâs words.
Iâm glad. If you are registered, the magic items at the gate may react to you. If you are registered, the magic items on the gates will react to your presence, and even if you want to travel in secret, they can reveal your destination. If youâre not registered, you donât have to worry about that. This request is a nomination from a commercial guild. Even if I hired another person personally, it wouldnât be a problem.
Ega-san nodded at Ranji-sanâs words.
Apparently, they will be able to transport the sister to All Town without any problems.
This way, my sister can ride in the carriage without any worries.
Iâm not sure if I can really trust Ega and the others, but Sora isnât reacting at all.
I excepted the back for a moment, but she was awake.
âWhoa, who was that âŠâŠ guy here?
I turn my gaze to Fiesheâs voice that I heard unexpectedly and look at Ega and Ranji suspiciously.
The father stops the activation of the magic item on the kitchen table.
Feucher-san, good morning.
At my words, Fieshe-san glanced at me and raised a small hand.
But she hasnât let down her guard against Ega-san and the others.
I wonder whatâs going on?
âI know them. Theyâre not a problem.
Yeah, I donât believe that look.
Maybe theyâre just wary because of what happened to your sister?
So how did they get here?ăAnd âŠâŠ.
\nThis is a good time to talk about it after lunch. âŠâŠ Maybe.
The one who reacted was Ranji, and the one who showed a dumbfounded expression was his father.
Ega, Zinal and the others looked a little surprised.
âYou canât have a good discussion if youâre hungry.
At my words, my father and sister prepared lunch for us.
âWould you like to eat too, Zinal-san?
Zinal-san and the others were a little confused by my enthusiasm.
When I asked them again, they replied that they would eat.
I put the rice in a deep dish, unraveled the six fruits, and poured the ingredients over the rice.
I had made a lot of rice to take with me on my trip, but it was gone.
Well, beef bowl style is easy to make, so itâs okay.
I finished distributing the food to everyone and started eating before it got cold.
As if caught up, Zinal-san and Ega-san also started to eat.
Ega-sanâs words brought a smile to my face.
Itâs really nice to have someone say itâs delicious.
I glanced at Zinal and the others.
I can see that Ega and the others are also a little nervous.
Could it be that they know each other?
And they donât get along?
He cowered when he met his fatherâs gaze.
Maybe he knows the cause of the problem?
