Chapter 47.2
Nn?
Looking out from the window, Rose could see a silver-haired girl heading out . Rose couldnt help but laugh as she saw the girl being wary of her surroundings as she walked .
As Rose was about to move to capture the fool
Excuse me .
Aah?
The door was knocked and a rough voice came from the other side .
Rose wore her coat as she replied with an Enter .
A tall man with a frightening looking face Alek had entered the room and gave a bow .
What is it?
Sorry for the bother but I couldnt seem to find Felm anywhere, have you seen her?
Aah, you mean that .
Distorting her mouth into a monsters smile, Roses line of sight fell onto the window . Looking outside, she could see Felm sneakily moving and trying to hide herself . She probably had some sort of plan to secretly leave with Usato as she was carrying a lot of luggage
She was still not at a stage to leave from here yet .
I see, shes going after Usato and trying to leave here .
Probably .
After opening the window, she put force onto her legs and jumped out . With Roses physical ability that far exceeded an ordinary persons, she instantly moved in front of Felm who had been walking ahead all this time . Felm who had been slowly walking was petrified when she saw that had Rose suddenly appeared and couldnt understand the situation
!
Well, just wait a moment .
Felm ran away in the opposite direction once she regained her senses . However, Rose caught Felm by grabbing onto her clothes as expected and Felm dangled fruitlessly in the air .
I-Im sorry
Even if you apologize at this point, you know
Felms face went pale like never before as all the power in her arms and legs were drained of strength . It was understandable considering the abuse she received from Rose thus far . At the moment, Felm was being held by the collar by no other than an evil spirit that resided in hell known as Rose . Felm understood she would be beaten up right away if she took on her usual attitude right now .
You were probably planning on following Usato and going to a different city
Y-youre wrong .
Which part is wrong? Huh!?
As Felm let out a pitiable voice, Rose started walking with Felm in hand towards the lodgings . It wasnt like Rose couldnt let Usato take care of this fellow . It would be a great chance for Felm to learn more about humans and what is considered normal for them . But given the circumstances and Usatos important mission, Rose had decided against it since she didnt want Felm to get in the way .
Either way, you would have been stopped by the gate guards . Theres no way you would get through .
E-even I
Huh? Even I what?
I-its nothing
Felm had wanted to say something in objection but stopped halfway through . As Felm went silent, she also became dispirited and hung her shoulders down .
Well then, I still have to give you your punishment for heading out without permission .
. Eek .
Felm knew . She knew that she wouldnt be forgiven even if she begged Rose . Felm had personally witnessed Usato getting beaten up without question by Rose . When she saw Rose for the first time on the battlefield, Felm just thought that she was scary . Now that Felm met Rose in person, Rose was an existence to be feared as she should shiver in terror before her .
Im going to hold a grudge against you for this Usato .
Felm had those thoughts against Usato who had left as she was dragged away into the hell called training .
Alek who had witnessed this scene from the window could only shake his head and think just the usual . From there, he went back to continue his own training .
*
Werent there too many people to greet me as I made my way to the gate? A lot of people had called out to me in loud voices as I was walked towards the gates . Before long, I could see a group with horses and the gate itself .
There were roughly around 10 or maybe more people? In that group, a young man had gotten off the carriage and waved his hand at my direction .
Usato!
Ah, Kazuki .
I didnt hear about the specifics of how we would be travelling but it seemed we would be moving by a horse-drawn carriage . Looking closely, I could see several lightly armored knights that surrounded the carriage . They were probably arranged that way to protect the horses and the people riding them . In that group of knights, I could see Ark-san .
Bluerin, you Will you be alright riding this?
Gwuh . !
Theres no way Id be fine, is what Bluerin implied as he kept pounding on my legs .
Why you Youre really not holding back against me anymore .
Youre just too sturdy and tough, Usato .
Gwuh .
Bluerin nodded in agreement with Amakos words which irritated me a little so I flicked his nose with my finger for the time being .
As I headed towards the carriage arranged for us, I called out to Ark-san .
Good morning, Ark-san .
Good morning!
Getting off his horse, Ark-san placed a fist on his chest as he returned my greeting . As I was thinking he was energetic as usual, he suddenly presented two of his hands before me .
We will handle your belongings, Usato-dono . You should head towards your carriage in the front .
A-ah, thank you . As for Bluerin?
Im sorry to say so but hell be moving along with us instead .
As expected . Well I cant imagine Bluerin getting onto the carriage . As I gave my luggage to Ark-san, Amako and I started walking to the front where our carriage was As we were walking, Bluerin was scowling at me as he gave a Gururuh sound and retrieved my belongings that I had placed on the ground .
Dont give too much trouble to Ark-san, okay?
Guruah .
Whats with that uncertain reply of yours?
It should probably be fine . If anything happens, I just have to come outside and watch over him .
Bluerin handed over my belongings to a knight that was close by and I headed inside the carriage . There was enough room to fit about 10 people and it looked a little more modest on the inside than I had initially thought .
Paying closer attention to the surroundings, there was Inukami-senpai and Kazuki There was also a woman with a white robe and long light blue hair, Welsey-san .
Good morning, everyone .
For now, I should greet everyone . Amako and I replied with our own greetings .
Its been a while since weve talked, Usato-sama .
Eeh, Welsey-san . Youre also coming on this journey?
You really left quite the impression on me, after all .
Like when you suddenly took me by the hand when you found out about my magic attribute .
Or how scared you looked when you saw Rose .
Yes, it would be too much to leave everything to just the heroes which is why Ill do my best to help until we reach Luquis .
Is that so?
Its not like I thought we would be the only ones moving but Lloyd-sama was really generous to send a mage like Welsey-san who was really important to this Kingdom .
As for me, Im really glad to have someone like Welsey-san come with us .
No no no, I cant contribute much with my amount of power .
Senpai and I learned magic from you, have more confidence in yourself teacher .
The two of them had a lot of trust in Welsey from the looks of it . Maybe Welsey was similar to how Rose was like to me as my teacher Although I would have preferred Welsey-sans calming aura over Roses . After all, Roses aura was like a savage animals where just looking at her would cause me to tremble .
If I said this to her in person, theres no doubt she would beat me senseless . As I was lost in my thoughts, Amako suddenly tugged on my uniforms cuffs in silence . Amako showed an expression of worry and directed her gaze towards Welsey-san .
I could somewhat understand what her thoughts were and called out to Amako .
This person is alright . Rather, you should be more wary of Senpai .
. Yeah .
Nnn? Just now, did you naturally treat me like some dangerous person?
Inukami-senpai didnt seem content as she said so and showed a sour expression .
Ignore it, ignore it .
I let my back rest on the wall . . when the carriage suddenly shook and I could hear the wheel of carriage bumping into something .
It mightve been good to just walk . .
That reminds me, Welsey-san . The letters . .
Im taking good care of them, dont worry .
Welsey-san went through a small rucksack and retrieved several sheets of paper .
Suzune-sama and Kazuki-sama should have already been told this but these are the letters youll be sending . At the moment Ill be taking care of them but Ill hand over the letters to everyone once you go your separate ways . Thats why you dont need to worry about these letters for now .
When we depart? Were not sending a letter to Luquis?
For Luquis, Ill be the one to send a letter . Is what Ive been told but I dont mind if Suzune-sama and the rest want to come along .
. In other words, Welsey-san would be setting up an example of how we should give out the letters? If thats the case, it would really help . Its not like you could suddenly appear to give out a letter to an important person and be like bye .
Leaving aside Kazuki and Senpai who were in the student council in my former world, I wasnt used to doing something like this at all which was why I was worried .
At least one of my worries had been resolved . Thinking so, I leaned back in relief as I looked outside from the window . I could only see green everywhere from the trees surrounding us . I was still used to the scenery before me but after a few hours, Ill be able to witness ones I havent seen .
The beginning of a journey A new place .
It would a great adventure with a dangerous road full of the unknown .
For better or worse, I had become accustomed to this world . I didnt know what would happen beyond this point and I could only absentmindedly dwell on the possibilities .
