Chapter 38

No Road is Long without Good Company

(Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)

Kingdom of Radius, the territory of Neumont, Tendall.

Just now, Aina remembered the place they had just left. She suddenly leaked a breath while looking ahead.

The sky was blue and the wind was calm.

The sun was warm, and it was a good day for traveling.

Even so, she was somewhat depressed…

“…Hmm. My intuition is saying that way is suspicious!” (Soma)

“It is certain that there is no mistake since Nii-sama is saying so! I will also accompany you!” (Lina)

Well again, it went without saying that the cause of the depression was this idiot siblings.

Perhaps it should be said that rather than the rampant feelings she had in the beginning, she was wondering if the trip was getting worse since they had started traveling.

Aina was probably holding back, but it was certain that was the cause of the headache.

“Hey, you two idiots over there! I should say this much, but we don’t have to spare time to detour!” (Aina)

“Hmm… Indeed. I surely heard that, but unfortunately I don’t remember agreeing to that!” (Soma)

“Me too!” (Lina)

“Too noisy!” (Aina)

While sighing all out, Aina put hands on the head to endure the headache.

Such arguments had been repeated many times until now, and Aina basically gave in, but this time wouldn’t be such a time.

“Didn’t you say that it would be a ha.s.sle if we don’t reach the next territory before today is over? As a result, I think that we have been holding back a lot, so I don’t think we can afford doing this much.” (Aina)

“Muu… You are right, but… it seems that side is somewhat suspicious…!” (Soma)

“You  always say that, but there is nothing wrong at all! No, although you were occasionally got it right, but… as it turns out, it has nothing to do with magic, not even a single bit.” (Aina)

“No, that’s why. The fact that it always felt out of place until now means it will come soon…!” (Lina)

“Is that because of a hopeless thinking?” (Aina)

While exchanging such words, when returning to the main road,  Soma and Lina, who were about to spend time until the day after tomorrow, reluctantly followed Aina.

It seemed that this time was somehow no good, and they understood it.

It was entirely like that between, Aina, Soma and Lina.

While the three of them kept traveling, when they noticed it, one year had pa.s.sed.

Despite all that much time had pa.s.sed, they still hadn’t gone out from the Neumont territory. Well, the reason was like what happened just now.

It was because of Soma and his group… No, it was entirely because of Soma alone because he was doing whatever he liked.

It couldn’t be helped based on the purpose of the trip. Originally, it was Soma’s purpose alone, and he was an unprecedented person.

As expected, they couldn’t find the method if they searched normally, and it was certainly true when he was told that, but according to his intuition, he examined places that he felt suspicious, and that much was unreasonable.

After Lina followed them along, Aina would lose by majority vote whenever she objected, and… well, even if Soma said this and that, for Aina to recognize such behaviors, wouldn’t that be problematic too?

In addition, when Aina was told that a journey would be something like this, she was really thinking as it was.

However, the journey that Aina knew wasn’t like this.

“Ah, yes

. Lina-sa… Lina.” (Aina)

While she still hadn’t called the name yet, she remembered something about the girl at the rear who she was about to call.

When she noticed, she lowered her voice while worrying about Soma who was naturally leading the group.

“Say, is it really fine not to tell him?” (Aina)

“I think it is fine. It is not necessary to tell Nii-sama, but whenever it becomes necessary, it is good enough to know at that time.” (Lina)

Speaking of something, here was the territory of Neumont. In other words, Soma’s family name was Neumont, and his household was a Duke’s household.

Yes, Soma was still unaware of it.

Although Aina was walking in the territory in low profile, whether they need to know when they were in a town, they didn’t bother to talk about which territory they were at present.

For that reason, they didn’t bring up this particular topic until now.

It was also something that Soma didn’t care about, so for now, Lina thought that it was unnecessary to let him know.

Of course, it was alright to tell Aina, but it felt different if compared it to Soma.

Nonetheless, the reason Lina told her was not because to prevent Aina from going against her household, but she told Aina just to avoid things that might become troublesome later.
