95-Wind of silver




 
 I was able to accompany the people of the Triella Trading Company to Kagura, and I was out in front of the mansion early the next morning.

 Normally, I would be flirting with my lover (bed), but today I was able to get up without being tempted.

 This was also because he was looking forward to Kagura's cooking. It is quite different from the time of the capital.

 Also, although today was the day of practice, it is one of the reasons why the tension is raised that it was exempted by going to Kagura.

 When I was sitting on the stairs in front of the entrance while thinking about such things, sister Elinora, standing next to me, was looking at me with a mushy face.

'What's wrong?'

 I felt a stinging gaze on my right cheek, so I turned my face towards it.

''Can't you just wait until I come back from King's Landing?''

 What are you saying now that you're getting ready in front of the mansion now?

''When is sister Elinora coming back from the royal capital?''

Maybe in August.

'I don't want to go on a carriage trip in the middle of summer like that. Besides, you'll be busy with the harvest festival as soon as you get back.

In that case, why don't you go after the Harvest Festival?

It's cold after the Harvest Festival.

 When I replied clearly, I was poked in the head by Sister Elinora.

 The poke to my head caused my body to stagger.

 When I looked at her as if to see what she was doing, Elinora sister said, "Hmph! He sniffed and turned away.

 The best time to leave is now. I'm not going to give up, no matter what they say.

 Then Elinora and her sister and I look ahead in silence.

 Out of the corner of my eye, the employees of the Trierra Trading Company were busily packing and inspecting their luggage.

 I'm sure they are well versed in preparing for a trip like this, but it's different from the time we went to the capital.

 Of course, it's safe to say that there are no ladies who would do the same bad thing as we did at that time by deliberately leaving their necessities behind.

'Al, aren't you forgetting anything?'

 What a rumor, and what a mischievous lady, if you ask me, came out of the door.

 Behind her, Brother Silvio and Father Nord were also there. Apparently, they came out to see me off.

''Yeah, I've already loaded up a change of clothes for myself.

 If all goes well, we'll arrive in Kagura in two weeks.

 The only luggage for the trip is a change of clothes, and I don't have to worry about food and other trivial necessities of life because Tory has prepared them for me.

 It's not a problem, because even if it's not enough, I can secretly take it out with spatial magic.

It's not only a long journey this time, there's also the sea. You have to listen to the people around you properly, okay? And don't spend too much money.

Okay!

 I'll give you an innocent smile here, but I don't agree with the latter part.

 After all, the other side may have some Japanese style dishes and ingredients.

 Even if there are things that can't fit in the carriage or can't be brought back for storage reasons, I can store them with spatial magic without hesitation.

 Honestly, I don't feel like there's enough money to go around.

 Well, once I go there, I can go there at any time with the transference, so I can just bring the money to buy it later, but that doesn't mean it won't go out of control.

''Well I doubt it.

I feel like I could make some great food and pastries with the ingredients we have in Kagura.

You can borrow up to a piece of white gold from the Triera Trading Company and use it.

'No, you can't buy that much and store it, can you?

 Seeing the serious expression on Mother Erna's face, Dad Nord chided her for being anxious.

 Mother Erna's jokes are scary because it's hard to tell them apart. Probably more than half of her jokes are serious this time, too.

 We've got our word on it, so let's use more.

 You can save a lot of money with me.

I'd appreciate it if you could pick up some of the books in Kagura.

 Brother Silvio says with a fresh smile.

'Yeah, okay. I'm going to get some books about interesting stories and countries.'

 Brother Silvio is a boy with a penchant for humble heroic tales, so I'll be able to mend him a good one. I'm interested in Kagura's books, too. Are there any dragon slayer stories over there as well?

I also want you to wear a kimono. Triella told me that they are very beautiful. I'd also like to see some of the finely crafted accessories.

 He doesn't like to go far, but he loves souvenirs.

 He's in a good mood and asks me for a number of souvenirs that I'm sure Tory told him about.

 This is my responsibility to buy souvenirs. If I buy something that is called a beautiful kimono or cloth and has no sense of style, I'll be taken aback.

 ........This is a difficult task. This is when Alfried's skills as a man will be tested.

''Does sister Elinora have any hope?''

 I'm afraid I'll sulk if I leave without just listening to Elinora sister's request, so I ask her even if she seems to be in a bad mood.

 Then Elinora sister glanced at me while folding her arms.

''........I'll leave it to you like I did in King's Landing.

 I see, you want another hairpiece or something? This is another difficult order.

'I knew sister Elinora would want a sword or something.

Trey tells me that they're treated very differently from swords. I have a sword, and I don't have time to deal with it.

 Sister Elinora taps the wooden sword on her hip with a clunk.

'Nah, I see.'

 He wanted to master his sword skills.

 It's true that you've been practicing the sword for a long time, but it's strange to use a sword now.

 The way you fight with a sword and a sword will be very different, and if you mess with it poorly, you'll be halfway there.

 Well, Elinora sister and Nord dad would be able to say "I see, that's how you do it" without anyone to teach them, and they would be able to master it.

 Then, as I was chatting with Bartolo, Mina, Saara, and Mel who came to see me off later, I heard Tory's voice from the carriage.

'Alfreet-sama! Let me introduce you to your escort adventurer!

 When I turned around, I saw four armed, adventurer-like figures there. There was also a rumba near them, talking in some kind of friendly manner.

 They were about to finish their preparations, so they would probably introduce the adventurers who were their guards briefly and leave.

''Then I'll go!

 I say to everyone and then run off. I run up to Torrie with words of "good-bye" and "make sure you buy a souvenir" at my back.

"These people are the adventurers, the Silver Wind!

 A man steps forward after being introduced to Tory.

 A somewhat mischievous-looking young man with short blonde hair and green eyes. He wears protective gear such as a breastplate on his body, and seems to be a swordsman fighting in the vanguard.

I'm the leader, Mort. I'm looking forward to working with you this time!

 Adventurers are often thought of as crude and violent, but this young man named Molt is very polite with a light bow. He is surprisingly polite for his appearance.

 Does a B-ranked person also need to have a personality? It's hard to believe that he is a junior member of the Rumba.

My name is Alfried Thawlett, and I'm going with you. It's nice to meet you too.

 He bows his head lightly to everyone and says, and then Malt steps back and the next man appears.

 He's a little taller than Malt, but he's a little shorter and looks a little disheveled, probably because he's hunched over.

 Perhaps the stubble makes him look a little older, though he's not very old.

 I think he would look a little more austere and cool if he was dressed up. Judging from his clothes, he's also kind of avant-garde. Will it be okay?

''It's Irvine........''

 Scratching his head and speaking somewhat languidly, Irvine was being pounded in the gut by the wand of the female wizard behind him.

He was a little uncomfortable with the stiff talk.

''I'm Alusha, the wizard.

Oh, Ilya-Istalte, also a wizard.

 Then two women came out in a line. They must be wizards from the fact that they both hold wands in their hands and are dressed in light, corset-like clothing.

 The only wizard around me is Erna's mother, so it seems fresh. I'm a little excited to see what kind of magic she uses.

 The dark blue-haired woman named Aleusha is the one who beat Irvine with her staff.

 The other one is Ilya with pink hair and a slightly frightened atmosphere.

''Ishtarte, that means you're a nobleman?''

'Oh, yes! Istalte is a countess.

 My goodness, she's even better than my bodyguard. I'm a countess.

 I don't know if she sensed that I had a depressed expression on my face or not, but Ilya speaks with a wave of her hand.

''But I'm the youngest child, so don't worry about it! So now I'm an adventurer for a number of reasons.

 I see, it's a lot of things. Maybe she's a child of a concubine, or a branch of a family, or something. Let's not ask about the details.

But the Ishtarte family is great, you know?

What do you mean by awesome?

 Irvine comes up to me in a familiar way. Is he quite friendly?

Behind me, Aleusha is scowling at the familiarity of the situation, but she's decided not to go into it because I've shown interest.

It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them, especially Ilya's sister, because she's not only bonkers, but she's also the princess's guard maid. Of course Illya is awesome and has great magic skills.

 Irvine says while making a gourd shape with both hands. I see...a mouth that likes to talk like this. It's the same with our villagers.

When I look at Ilya, I'm happy to be praised for my sister and myself, but I'm smiling because of the unnecessary words.

'I see. As for Ilya's sister, I don't know if the princess's escort maids are awesome because of the bonkubon.

Of course, of course.

'Yes, yes, let's just leave it at that. I'm going to tip Sarya, okay?

 Aleusha tugs on Irvine's ear as he tries to speak in a good mood.

 I wanted to ask a bit more specifics, but I can't leave with this. I'll ask him later.

I'm sure you've already met them, so let's go!
