Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement

215 . Transportation Corps 1

B-bu-but why (Mitsuha)

Itd be a good experience, and itd be safe if Im with Mitsuha, they said!! (Beatrice-chan)

Damn it! They knew they couldnt let Beatrice-chan set on such a dangerous journey alone, so they dragged me in this!!!

Theres no way they can let a 14-years-old girl go on a trip for nearly ten days with the transportation corps that consists of just a bunch of foul man . So, of course, I would have to go with her .

And if Im with her, it would be easy to make an escape with my transfer ability when the situation becomes really dangerous . I bet they believe that theres nothing safer than this .

And this is probably Beatrice-chans first and last big adventure in her life . Moreover, its absolutely safe .

And with this, she can deepen her friendship with me, which is the best outcome the Bozes family couldve wished for, theres no demerit for them .

They got me!

Well, the chance of being attacked by bandits is very low anyway, and I dont think that there would be any other than small fry monsters .

But no matter how small the risk is, we couldnt possibly know what would happen for certain .

Yes, the worst-case probability is never zero . No matter how low it is, it would never be [zero] . And that cannot be overlooked .

Besides, in the first place, If there is such a cute girl alone in the transportation team that consisted of only men

I dont think she will be attacked .

As expected, if they do such a thing, the Bozes family will spend all of their military strength and financial power to chase and hunt the attackers down to the edge of the earth . Even an idiot would know that much . And their whole family would all be tortured and then killed .

It means that they have to be prepared for that much

So I dont think anyone would do something like that, but well, Beatrice-chan is so cute that theres no guarantee that no one would do something rude towards her, like poking her cheeks, touching her hair secretly, and so on .

No, there will be . Im sure there will be! At least there will be one who would definitely do such things!

yeah, its me .

No .

Nonononono!!

Leaving that aside . Is there a workaround to avoid this

Theres none (Beatrice)

Ah, is that so

You said everything out loud (Beatrice-chan)

Ah, is that so

This is the second transportation corps .

At the end of the row of wagons is my special carriage and the white horse, Silver .

Yes, I brought if from the royal capital using transfer .

The wagons are full of loads, so if you want to ride one of those, you have to cram yourself in between the loads . Of course, the wagons dont have high-performance suspensions, nor do they have fluffy cushioned seats .

And I dont want to ride a horse with a shabby saddle . Besides, I would feel bad for those who have to follow me on foot .

So this is where Silver, who rarely appears, and the special earth-made carriage come into play .

Theres only Silver to pull the carriage, but since the carriage is super-light and there are only Beatrice-chan and me inside, it should be easy to keep up with a wagon full of loads .

Since hes properly taken care of by a hostler, his diet and exercise should be perfect, but I guess hes happy to work with his original owner after a long time that hes in such a high spirit

Maybe I should travel with him more often, even if I dont have anything to do

Bozes territorys second transportation corps, set forth!! (Beatrice-chan)

Ooooohh~~!!

And the merchants and escorts loudly responded Beatrice-chan, who shouted the command in high spirits .

Well, their lords daughter is accompanying them this time, and protecting her along the way must be the most honorable task for them .

Moreover, count Bozes is a good lord who is adored by his people . Perhaps they would protect Beatrice-chan even if they have to use their own life as a shield .

No, no matter how much of a good lord he is, as expected, theres no way Count Bozes would tolerate the escorts who ran away and abandoned Beatrice-chan

And the merchants are also accompanying this caravan . Or rather, the caravan is tailored by the merchants of Bozes County, so its obvious, I guess .

Actually, Count Bozes managed all by himself and just leaving the practical parts to the merchants . Still, it seems that there were fierce disputes over those positions because the pay is good enough, and they could make connections with the big merchants of the royal capital . well, Its like the governments purveyors, so of course, they would change their tune and excitedly jumped into the fray

It may not be necessary for the merchants to accompany the caravan, which is basically just carrying the loads, but since it seems that they could be having business talks in the royal capital, they leave their store in the territory to their head-clerks and accompany the caravan themselves

Small countryside merchants are rushing into the royal capital, carrying imported goods from a foreign country, and its the home country of [Himemiko-sama of thunder] at that!! And theyre going to have the upper hand in the business talk with the big stores in the royal capital, so their excitement went wild .

Some merchants have participated in the first transport corps, and some are new this time .

Apparently, Count-sama seemed to distribute the opportunity evenly instead of leaving it collectively to some specific merchants from the beginning .

yeah, as expected of count Bozes .

And if youre wondering hows the result

Beatrice-sama, this way, please! (?)

Typically, while traveling, lunch should be a simple one and then take a short break before continuing the journey . A merchant would never think about spending too much time or money on lunch, and no one would want to ride a swaying carriage with a full stomach .

Of course, the escorts, too, are putting their lives at stake, so there cant be a fool who would get their stomach bloated during work . if anything, we wouldnt even consider employing such a person .

However, when we stopped for a lunch break, and after waiting for quite a while, we were called, only to find

A teapot and a set of teacup placed on a folding table with a pure white tablecloth . And there are dishes that appear to be appetizers on the plates .

is this all? (Beatrice-chan)

Beatrice-chan said with a grumpy look .

Absolutely not! Of course, we will cook other dishes after this (?)

The merchant explained with a big smile .

No! nonononono!!!

This guy doesnt know Beatrice-chan at all!!

No, well, he just met her this morning, so it cant be helped .

Is everyone getting the same things? (Beatrice-chan)

See

No, of course, theres no way Beatrice-sama and Her excellency Viscount Yamano, and then myself with one other merchant will take turns sitting there, and we will eat the same dishes, the others will have normal meals (?)

The merchant explained as if its a matter of course, but

Then, you there! Yes, you . Please come here (Beatrice-chan)

Suddenly, the commanding officer of the convoy, a man about 24 to 25 years old, who is called by a cute adolescent girl who is still a minor, pointing at himself and making an expression as if hes saying [Me? Really me?] .

The man is currently sitting on the ground, and before him, there are a whole hard bread, sliced meat, a plate of vegetable, and a bowl of soup . Maybe they think that its rude to start eating before their employer because no one has started eating yet .

And then the merchant hurriedly beckons and calls the man, even though he doesnt know her intention .

And the man started walking here timidly as if hes wondering whether he did something wrong, leaving his lunch on the spot .

And towards the man, Beatrice-chan said

You eat these dishes with the merchants here on my behalf . I will eat your lunch over there (Mitsuha)

Updated from novelhall[.]com

eh?

Perhaps because her words havent penetrated into their brains yet, the two merchants and the man standing there, frozen with their mouth hanging open .

well, it cant be helped if they dont know a child named Beatrice-chan .
