For the first time in my life, I was able to pilot a carriage.

I often rode on the back of Schultz the wolf on Table Mountain, and Schultz was easy to ride because he could make his own decisions and move.

The world below is a total inconvenience.

I pouted in my mind and stared at the rogue carriage alongside me.

On the other side of the carriage, the villainous driver looked vicious.

Were you lurking in the carriage, boy?

We came from the sky.

But you won't believe me.

Well, a little boy like you is no bodyguard. Just give up and stop the carriage. And I'll let you live.

"I mean, this girl, uh, what's your name?

and ask the daughter of the Anaheim family.

"I am Karen. I am the daughter of a Northwood merchant family.

It's a nice name.

She says, "Thank you," and her cheeks tint.

I smile back and turn back to the crooks and say, "You guys are going to do terrible things to Karen, aren't you?

"You guys are going to catch Karen and do terrible things to her. I can't give her to you.

"I won't do anything terrible.

What are you doing then?

We're just doing a favor for a rival merchant of the Anaheim family. They want us to capture their daughter Karen and take her hostage. We'll take her and keep her as a hostage.

"What if her dad doesn't listen to that guy?

Then every day, I'll just cut off one finger and send it to you until you do what I say.

The rascal declares so with a sneaky smile.
Karen turns pale.

"Negotiations are off. No, it's a declaration of war. I will not go easy on evildoers like you.

If I heard those words, Ronin would be celebrating and Miria would be taking pictures with her photographic paper.

That much was obvious, but I didn't care and moved the carriage body to the side.

Our bodies hit the crooks' carriage and the crooks get upset.

"Are you stupid, you're going to die with Karen!

"No way, I have a secret. I just scared him a little before I tried the trick. Give up if you want to live.

What a brave little shit. But it's your lucky day when you get close.

And then I see a figure from the rogue's carriage jumping over to me.

To deal with it, I temporarily leave the wheel of the carriage to Karen.

She's like, "What?　Huh? I'm upset, but I say, "Just hold on".

"I saw with my Takami magic earlier, it's a straight shot ahead. There's a bit of interesting terrain ahead, but we'll settle it before then.

I say casually.

It's an emergency, and she was even interested in piloting the plane, so I say "yes," and with a dangerous "yes," I tighten my grip on the reins with a dangerous hand.

I'm reassured by that, and I confront the villain in the hood. He's clutching his dagger.

He jumped on our wagon in that situation, so he has a lot of physical strength and courage.

He's not to be underestimated as a rogue.
In fact, this rascal was quite a force to be reckoned with.
As the carriage swayed, he wielded his dagger with great dexterity.
They traded shots, but not more than a few.

If I were an ordinary man. If I hadn't been raised by the gods, I might have been able to do what I wanted, but I was a man educated by the strongest gods.

I am accustomed to fighting in such a rocky place.

I remember training with Ronin, the god of swordsmanship, on the buffalo.

Compared to that, the swaying of the carriage on the street was nothing.

Keeping my equilibrium in check, I raised my dagger at my hip and swung it at his dagger.

It was a battle between two daggers, but my dagger was a mithril dagger made of sterling silver, while his was an iron dagger, and the match was decided from the start.

Crack, the dagger of the rascal cracked.
A man with a shocked expression on his face.

"What a stupid, weapons-destroying technique!　What the hell is this thing?

I'm a disciple of the greatest God of all time.

Then I quickly jumped into the man's bosom and pressed lightly on his chest.

That was enough in the shaky car.

The man loses his balance and staggers backward.

He heads for the open carriage door and falls from there.

He tumbles to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, the man is getting smaller and smaller.
He gets smaller and smaller.
He doesn't appear to be dead, but he's probably hurt pretty badly. He's on a roll, but he's not playing for wins.

I walk back to the young lady, who is stiff and will be holding the reins.


When I returned, sure enough, Karen was frozen.

In the height of her nervousness, she patted her chest as I took the reins from her.

"I didn't feel alive.



And be relieved.

She scurries backwards and sees that the thug is gone.

You were defeated in the blink of an eye. That's great. --Uh, what's your name?

"Will. It's just Will. He's a commoner.

"Then you are indeed Mr. Will. Impressive. Or maybe he's a famous swordsman or something?
"I'm a complete unknown. I don't think there are more than ten people who know my name.

So this is where you make a name for yourself.

And smiling Karen.

I knew that was the case when I met her, but she seems like an optimist. Even under these circumstances, she keeps smiling.

Then I'm sure she'll laugh and forgive me for the plan I'm about to make. So I ask her.

"What I'm about to do is pretty dangerous and will destroy this carriage, okay?

I'm fine.

That's a quick answer.

"Yes, I have full confidence in you, Mr. Will. I trust him so much that if he asked me to marry him tomorrow, I would be happy to do so.

I don't make those kinds of demands.

And letting out a smile, they both smiled at the same time.


Meanwhile, Lunamaria, who is quite backward. A chill runs down her spine.

...... "Mmm, I have a bad feeling. I've got a bad feeling about a woman approaching Master Will.

And mumbled in his chest, but was looking ahead to the end of the street quite anxiously, although it was unclear what was going on. I was listening closely.
