After the brave man came, early the next morning.

I'll be back in less than a week this time. This time I'll be back in less than a week.

　Standing in front of the cave, I said to the inhabitants of my house standing across from me.

Goodbye, old man! Come home soon!

"Hayak, kaette kitten!

　As I was patting them on the head, Leffi stepped forward, this time with a zing.

"--Yuki.

"Oh. Mug...

　Then Leffi suddenly reached down and grabbed my cheeks.

"I won't be going with you this time, but ...... you know that, don't you? Don't let a human woman slip through your fingers and come home late.

　The face is fixed so that it doesn't deflect away from her, and then she says with a tremendous smile, "Refi.

"Whew!

　I shook my head while he held me by both cheeks, and Leffi nodded her head in satisfaction and let go of my hand.

"Mm. I hope you know what you're doing. We'll guard the castle while you're gone.

...... As long as you're protected by Reffi, you've got nothing to worry about. I'll take care of my house, my heart, and everyone else. You're in good hands.

"Assigned

　Then, after exchanging words with the two remaining maids, I spun around and turned to the brave man.

"Well, Miss. I have prepared this carriage for you as a matter of urgency this time.

I don't know what you're talking about. I mean, is the carriage ...... this big wolfie you're talking about?

"Correct

　I jumped on top of Lil' and smacked him on the neck.

"Sorry, Lil, it's a long drive, but it's as far as King's Landing, please.

　This time, Leffy will be in the dungeon. There's no reason for Lil to be here either.
　Besides, we don't have much time to take things slow. If there's a super-express lil train, then so much the better.

　After seeing our trusty pet shake his head as if to say "leave it to me," I urge the brave man to look up at me and freeze.

Come on, get in!

"That ...... I'm on foot, whoa!

　I grinned and took the reluctant hero's arm and lifted him up on top of Lil' with a gui.

"Okay, Lil, go!

"What, wait, wait-- Ohhhhhh!

　The screams of the brave, prettier than expected, echoed everywhere, trailing behind.


　　　* * *


　In the moonlight, the bulwark rises before you.
　Above it, armed soldiers patrol and glower at their surroundings. As you can see, they are apparently wary not only of the outside of the barrier, but also of the inside of it.

　The gate, the only way in and out of the building, is heavily fortified and guarded, as if to say that no one can get in, and they are also on guard with a grim expression on their faces.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find the right one for you.

"Ugh...... my waist is wobbling......

You got there faster than two days after you said you'd be flying your horse.

　I cowered my shoulders and returned the words to the girl who said this while thumping her hips.

　After several hours of Lil's running, with a few stops along the way, we had already arrived at this country's capital, Arsil.

　It's not really a distance that can be reached in one day, but we have a legendary monster named Lil.
　I'm not sure how much weight the brave man weighs, and I have an item box, so I'm almost fully clothed, and the brave man is not the type of person who fights with his own defense, so he wears light clothing. You can do it.

　It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new one.

I'm sure you're right, but ...... or rather, how come you're not worried about it?

That's because you're used to riding Lil'

　Also, I'm a screaming kitchen.

　By the way, Lil has reduced his body to the size of a normal wolf and told him to wait until we call him in the nearby woods, so he's not with us anymore.

　It's just that we can't take them into the city.

"Anyway, Nell, how do you get in there?

　If you go to say "Hi" to her, instead of offering her tea, she just says, "You're a suspicious guy! You're going to be cut down.

...... What should I do?

　I pointed to the wall, and the man said to me, "You are going to go back to the city, right?

I'm sure you were originally planning to return to the capital after coming to me, right?

　When she says this with her zygomatic eyes, she rushes to excuse herself.

I know, but I didn't think I'd be so stiff! That, and, you know, that,

　She pointed to - what is that, a sewer? It's hard to see because it's hidden by tall grass and trees, but there's a kind of iron-grilled side passage at one point on the side of the defensive wall, and a few soldiers are on the lookout for it.

It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new one, but also of time when you'll be able to get your hands on a new one. ...... In fact, that's where I was going to meet up with the knights of the church.

　...... Okay, so the secret loophole has already been exposed and .

...... Well, okay. You've already made the arrangements when you come in, haven't you?

"Uh-huh. Just in case.

Okay, we'll get over the wall my way for now. Excuse me.

　I was quick to say that, but I lifted her body up by her side.

What? Hey, hey--

Just shut up.

　In that state, I activated the "covert" skill.



　Covert has a covert effect on anything I touch as well.
　Well, I'd be in trouble if it didn't. If I'm the only one who disappears, we'll end up with a horror picture with only the clothes I'm wearing on my own.

Don't raise your voice. You'll get caught.

　After confirming that the concealment was firmly activated, two pairs of wings appeared on his back - and with a flap of his wings, he flew up into the sky at once.

　The ground becomes distant in less than a few seconds, and your vision instantly opens up.

Hiiiiii!

"Oh, hey, don't speak up!

"Well, I don't want to hear that!

"What's that voice?

"I heard that from above! Bring on the lights!

"Wow, look at you, you've been found out.

　The soldiers in the bulwark suddenly become noisy and noisy.

　It can't be helped, well, I guess they can't see us yet, so let's just go.

　And so, with a brave man under my arm, I invaded the royal city from the sky.
