I was on my way to my destination, with two carriages and a crowd of up to 100,000 people in tow.
　I glanced back.

　The open road, with its ups and downs, accentuated the number of the hundred thousand.
　The road was densely and endlessly filled with throngs of people.

　I thought to myself, "That was spectacular.

"My lord,

　A maid came back from ahead.

　I don't usually do this, but since we have a hundred thousand people with us, I had some of the maids ahead of me to act as scouts.
　One of them came back and walked backwards at the same speed, facing me.

What's the matter?
"A short time ahead, the member viscount is waiting for you.
"Member Viscount?

　The father of one of the maids of honor, Agnes Member.

What about her?
"Your father was passing through the territory and wanted to pay his respects. I was told that he was passing through.
I see. Okay. I'll take care of it. You go back to the shadows and rest. Let Agnes take over.

　At my command, the maid, having finished her report, squirmed into my shadow, and Agnes came out of the shadows in her place.

And master?
Go ahead and tell him our approximate arrival time.
"I'll get right to it.
And let your father know you're doing well.
Thank you, thank you!

　Agnes looked thrilled and bowed to me and then went ahead of me.

"Angel, can I have a word with you?
"Yes, Mr. Alec.

　Angel is getting out of the carriage.

"You can count on me, Mr. Alec.
"Thank you Angers

　I called Angier for decorum.
　Down the road, the member baron will greet us, probably with a noble courtesy.
　In return, I've invited my not-yet-actual-wife, Angier, to join us.

　And Angier is well aware of that.

　I walk alongside Angel and continue on for a while, and I see the member, Viscount Member, Agnes, and several hundred soldiers waiting for me.

　I stopped in front of the member Viscount Member.
　The carriage came to a stop, and the people following behind it also stopped, buzzing.

It's good to see you, Viscount Member, since the village of Thanet.
"I am delighted,

　The Member Viscount bowed his head.
　I caught a glimpse of the common people behind him scowling.

　It's easy to see that I don't understand the context of this exchange.
　Highborn conversations, because of my elevated position as a father of state, have become a formality-driven politeness without context.

　I don't like that very much either, so I decided to have a proper conversation.

"What's the member Viscount here?
"One is to greet Father Country . The other is ...... which I am truly sorry to hear.
Hmm?
When I heard rumors of this people's procession, I wanted to see the unprecedented migration at least once.
"I'm curious

　That makes sense.

　Immediately after starting the move, I asked the wise man's sword, who has all the knowledge, if there was ever such a move.
　Had there ever been a move like this before.

　The answer was "no.

　It's understandable that you'd be curious to see such a thing.

It's a marvel to witness firsthand ....... I thought I wouldn't be surprised by what you've done, but I guess I'm still naive.
I'm surprised too.

　As expected .

　While stopping to make small talk about old friendships with the member Viscount, suddenly, a maid from the crowd behind came running in.

　Hurried, but also graceful.
　The one who came running is also a young maid.

　It was Chosen Oin.

"My lord.
"What?
"There is confusion, how can I help you?
"Confusion?　What's the cause?
Injuries. Some have sprained their feet due to bad roads, or have been injured due to a wheel stuck in a hole in the road, such as an ox cart,
"Hole in the road?　It wasn't, but--no.

　I was about to say, and then I thought better of it.

　That wouldn't have happened when I was in the lead.

　But a hundred thousand people in line, and in such a short time.
　The road gets worse and worse as we walk.

What do we do now?　If we don't, the whole thing will be affected.


Yeah, so Chosen.
"Yes.

　I made the magic sphere.
　The magic sphere I learned when I first studied magic.

　I made them with the healing attribute so that they could be used by others.
　There are roughly 100 of them.
　I gave it to Chosen.

I'll leave it with you. I want you to heal anyone who's hurt.
I understand.

　The former arrogance has faded and Chosen is now loyal to my orders.
　On the other hand, she hasn't lost her noblewomanly dignity - if anything, her attributes have changed modestly, but she's grown stronger.

　I'm a little pleased to see that she's grown in a positive direction.

Well.

　I looked ahead.
　We still have a long way to go to get to Avalon.
　People will be hurt if we keep this up.

　We need to make sure that this doesn't happen.

Viscount Member, you'll have to open up a bit.
"Yes ......, what are you going to do?
You do this.

　Seeing that the members Viscount and Agnes and their soldiers had been moved to the side, he drew his wise man's sword on his back and paid it off sideways.

　Slashes fly.
　The path I was on was flattened cleanly by the slash.

Oh!　In a matter of seconds. I've never seen a road like this before.
"We'll keep working on it. If the roads are in order, you're less likely to get injured.
I see, you're good.

"Um, Mr. Alec,

　Angier, who had been remaining respectfully silent all this time, opened his mouth.

'Yes, Angel?
"It's good that Alec-sama is working on the road like that, but I still think the road will be ruined along the way when a hundred thousand people pass by.
"In that case,

　I smiled at Angier.
　After all, Angel is a good, kind-hearted kid.

Remember when we first learned about magic?
Yes, I remember everything that happened with Master Alec.

　Secretly happy to say.

"Then you learned about transmutation.

　Then he took a few steps forward, crouched down and tapped his middle finger on the road, which he had been accustomed to with a slash.
　There was a clear, clean sound.

"I'm converting matter as I'm making it, and I'm getting it right.
"It's true ......, that's Mr. Alec
I must say, Angelica-sama is also very kind, but I have to say, I'm sorry to see your father's distant view of the world ahead of you.
"......
"What's up Angel?　With a difficult face while staring at the road.
"Um, Mr. Alec,
What is it?
"Can't you soften it more?　If it's very stiff, your feet might get sore when you walk.
I know, shoes get sore feet when they're hard.
"Yes.
The sturdier and softer, the better. It should be sturdy and soft.

　I thought for a moment, put together Angel's suggestion in my head, and listened to the wise man's sword.
　Then I swung my sword again and changed the path to a material that met Angier's request.

"Here we are.
"Yes!　I think it's okay!

　Angel smiled happily.
　He patted the gentle Angel's head.
　The happiest thing in the life of an SSS-ranked person might be meeting Angel.

　On Angel's advice.
　The injuries of the 100,000 people were almost gone from now on.
