Snow wanted to sniff me but I didn’t let her, and her reaction was so cute that I wanted to tease her more, but I restrained myself.
If I got too excited, I would be the one who would be neglecting the duty to keep watch.
So I let Snow do as she pleased, and leisurely talked with her until it was time to change s.h.i.+fts.
When it was time, we woke s.h.i.+a and switched places with her as we entered the wagon.
Lyss was sleeping at the edge, next was Chrisse, then Snow, and finally I laid down on the opposite side.
After I closed my eyes and pushed the fatigue of one day aside, I fell asleep in no time at all.

“I am really sorry!”
The first thing Lyss did after waking up was apologize and bow her head.
She was apologizing for not waking up when it was time for her keep watch.
“It’s okay, I don’t mind. So please raise your head.”
I tried to cheer her up.
But the dark clouds over her head didn’t clear up at all.
“Compared to my older and younger sister, I fail at everything I do, always making blunders…… All I do is cause trouble for hero-sama and everyone. I’m embarra.s.sed at my incompetence and ignorance.”
Lyss’ eyes were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with tears.
When I realized it I was already petting her head.
“It’s okay even if you cause trouble, or make blunders. For now we’re comrades who are travelling together, aren’t we? Isn’t it natural to cover for your comrade’s mistake?”
“Comrade…… you say?”
“Yes, at least that’s how my wives and I think. Even though it maybe rude to the princess of a country.”
Snow and Chrisse nodded vigorously at my words.
“N, no, it’s not rude or anything! Or rather, I’m really happy!”
Lyss saw that and denied it in a panic.
That att.i.tude of her was charming, and I unconsciously relaxed my mouth.
“That’s why, please keep causing us trouble. On the other hand, if I, Snow, Chrisse, or s.h.i.+a make a mistake, please help us. As comrades travelling together.”
“!! Yes! I will help! I will absolutely try to do my best in my own way and help everyone!”
She rea.s.suringly declared as she wiped her tears away.
It looked like the dark clouds over her head had cleared.
Furthermore she requested something with a bright expression.
“As comrades travelling together, please stop using ‘sama’. Please call me ‘Lyss’ casually.”
Oi oi was this ok? Not using honorifics with the princess of a country…...
But she used ‘comrade’ as a s.h.i.+eld so now it was hard to refuse.
“Then Lyss-sama as well, please don’t call me ‘hero-sama’ but call me by my name.”
“Understood. From now on I will call you Lute-san, okay?”
“......Then, please take care of me, Lyss.”
“Yes, Lute-san.”
We embarra.s.sedly stared at each other for a while.
Snow b.u.t.ted in,
“Then I will call you Lyss-chan! Best regards from now on, Lyss-chan!”
[Well then, I will call you Lyss-oneechan.]
“Yes! Snow-san, Chrisse-san, please take care of me.”
s.h.i.+a looked at the sight of her master, whose appearance was close to Snow group, deepening her friends.h.i.+ps, maybe it was so radiant tears rolled down from her eyes, which she wiped off with a handkerchief.
Like this, we truly became comrades who traveled together.
