236 . Aristocrat 6



 As we were guided by the old man of the kobolds (goblin people) to the back of the street, a wagon appeared from the shadow of a building.
''Master Safate! Good luck!
 The man at the wheel of that carriage waved me over as he said this.
 I'm Dengo.
 This is Dengo, the sheepman who works for Quinn of the Quinn Trading Company as a carriage attendant.
 Dengo got off the wheelhouse and opened the door to the carriage and led us into it.
'Dengo, take care of the rest,'
Yeah, you're on it.
 Dengo replied to the old man of the goblin people with a smile and went back to the horsebox.
''We'll move as inconspicuously as possible from here on out,''
 As he said this, Dengo slowly started the carriage.
 Then a large man standing at the back of the carriage walked up beside it, by the door.
 I gazed softly in that direction through the curtain-covered window, and there was the figure of the demon Lerd.
 It's Lerdo, who is in charge of the security of Quinn's private residence.
 When Lerdo noticed Erdena and I peeking through the window, he gave us a light wave.
 We smiled back at Lerdo and ducked into the carriage, closing the curtains and ducking into the carriage.

 The carriage seemed to be going from the back road to the front road.

''........what is it, that voice?''
 As Erdena said this, as the carriage approached the front road, some kind of noise began to be heard.
 The voice was gradually getting louder and louder.
 And when the voice began to be heard clearly, Erdena and I couldn't help but look at each other.

''I know that the lord and his wife of the frontier city of Liberty Combe are under house arrest here. We need you two to get them out here as soon as possible!''
 It was definitely the voice of Gelter, who was using a magic loudspeaker.
 I turned my gaze outward through a gap in the curtains while being careful.
 It was just around where the building of the House of Lords could be seen in the distance, and I saw quite a few guards lined up in front of the House of Lords.
''Biblina cancelled all the regular mage ship operations, and they're sending everyone from the frontier city of Liberty Combe in a piston transport with Geltor, the Batcombe guards, and us,''
 Sarah told me that while staring at the House of Lords from behind me.
 Beside her, Unja is nodding. 
I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to get out of it. Unja and the others will escape from the royal capital during this time.
But Geltzer and the others...
I'm sure Master Geltar won't have any problems. I hear he's got the Senate's Seiryu School on his side, after all.
The Senate's Seiryuu School?
 I nodded my head at Sarah's words.
 It seems that Erdena has never heard of it either, and we both nod our heads.
 In front of us, Sara seems to be trying to explain in front of us, but...
''Um ... what ... what ... what's with the Seiryuu School ... well ... that's funny, I'm sure Foldente told me about it beforehand...''
 He was shaking his head incessantly as he said this.
 Then.
Sarah, she can't remember the hard part, you know?
 Foldente appeared in the carriage.
'Foldente!'
 I couldn't help but smile.

 Foldente is a thought body whose body has already disappeared.
 Therefore, it is possible to transfer to a certain amount of space like this.

It's not just a matter of time before you're able to get in.
 Foldente smiled at that and waved his hand, smiling.
What I just said is that the Senate is not all corrupt people with outward appearance of desire. There are some decent people who are trying to improve the corrupt Senate and the House of Lords, and they are known as the Seiryuu-kai.
 According to Foldente's story, Geltar had been communicating with the Seiryu people in the Senate for some time now. When Geltar heard about my case, when he arrived at the royal capital in his magic airship, he used his contacts to contact the Seiryu ex-aristocrats in the Senate and the House of Lords to make sure that the people responsible for this case in the Senate and the House of Lords were unaware of it.
 They began to act after gaining their cooperation in this case.
While Geltar was causing a commotion in the House of Lords, Unya and Sarah rescued the two men.
 Foldente nodded his head while folding his arms.
It's a good idea to bring them back to Liberty Combe once and protect them.
 Unlike usual, Foldente's tone of voice is serious.
 At the sight of that, Erdena and I unconsciously swallowed our spit.
''Well then, I'm going to sneak into the magic ship and........''
 As I said this, Foldente shook his head from side to side.
The House of Lords has detected that Geltor and the others are carrying everyone, and they have already surrounded the landing tower of the mage and the Quinn Trading Company.
Quinn Trading Company too?
 I yelled out.
'I shouldn't, I shouldn't even bother Quinn...'
 When I said that, Foldente finally chuckled as usual.
It's a good thing," he said, "because even we can see that. It's a very good idea to have an elite squad of guards led by lillpop in Quinn's company, so it should be safe.
 Hearing Foldente's words, I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
 But it was only for a moment.
 Thinking about what happened after that, I frowned again.
''Then how do I get out of the royal capital.......at this rate, the gates of the city will be all seized......''
 When I said that, Foldente chuckled.
It's taken care of, so it's just a matter of getting there in one piece.
 As he said this, he sat back in his chair.

 Shortly after, Dengo from the steerage talked to the carriage in a whisper.

 At those words, Erdena and I winced and stiffened.
''Let me take care of it, Botchan.
 As she said this, Unya transformed her body into a nine-tailed form again.
 Sarah, too, was bracing herself while bobbing her fingers.

'Stop that carriage over there! I'll check inside.
Well, well, well, Knights, what's the matter with you?
Yes, word has been sent out across King's Landing that a criminal has escaped, and we've been ordered to inspect every passing carriage.
Oh, dear...
 Dengo can be heard inside the carriage having such a conversation with the knights.
 It seems that the carriage is already surrounded by the knights and has stopped moving.
 However, the door of the carriage seems to be held down by Lerdo himself.
Get out of the way!
 The voices of the frustrated knights could be heard.
 This is now the only way to jump out with Ichibachi or Unya and Sarah....
 That's exactly when I thought it was going to happen.
 
 Doggone it.....

 From somewhere, an explosive sound came out.
 The sound seemed to be coming from the direction of the headquarters of the Bobblebum cult.
