Chapter 59 (2/2)

We went down the road leading to thewere three fine brothers that cost 20 gold coins in total They had received training not to startle too easily Even when there were other horses on the road, they wouldn't get excited and run away

According to Hetty-san, they were horses of military quality that wouldn't freeze up even when surrounded by bandits, so whether it was running away or fighting on horseback, these horses could handle it… or sohts about honorh my mind, but—

Half of the road from Erishe to the h This road was properlywas rather haphazard) The other half was a beaten track that was only used by villagers, us, Shello-san and Rebeccsan The distance from the town to the ht now, using a horse took about 50 allop on the horses properly, it should take about half that ti the road and entering the beaten track Three unfa a small distance away from the track All three were armed with swords and equipped in crude leather armour There were two people in their 20s, one in his 30s, and they all looked like the earity

Memories of the time I was surrounded by delinquents instinctively calared this ith no reservation, whether it was this world or that world

In ers', and 'brigands' passed through

In theory, the best course of action would be to run away at this point However, in reality, it wasn't so easy to act cleverly like that I was only a civilian while Marina was a slave who used to ade Si about how the world worked If Rebeccsan or Hetty-san were here it ht have been different, and perhaps that hat they were ai for, as they weren't present today, unfortunately

The men suddenly stood up, and the one in his 30s who seeot a roup of travellers and we're troubled coz we don't have transport Could ya lend us those horses?”

The rinned shamelessly as they blocked the path with their bodies

I replied while mounted on my horse

”No, we can't lend you our horses If you walk just a bit further you'll reach the town of Erishe It's only around one yulka away”

Since I wasn't sure if they were actual bandits yet, I tried giving theht seriously think they could borrow a horse

”I see… If ya can't lend us those horses, then we dun need the us now?”

After saying those words, the leader drew his sword and pointed the blade at the neck of my horse So if we don't lend theht… bandits

A weak-looking boy was riding a nice-looking horse, so they thought they'd help themselves… that kind of fellow

Of course, I couldn't afford to lose et down from my horse first…”

”Well, well So ya can do as you're told after all I dun uys like ya”

”Yes, since it'd be too difficult to fight on horseback Ah, really, I' It's just so peaceful around here, I thought ed”

”What are ya sayin'?”

”Alright, let's do this as planned Pattern B this tiht?”

”Uhh… I still have my reservations about this”

”There's no other choice Now go!”

Onthe path and galloped off She really was good on horseback

”O-Oi! Where do ya think you're goin'!”

All that was left was to buy time
