Chapter 302 (1/2)

Traveling Preparations

​ In the end, we decided on the date we’d head out for the iet summoned

​ It even called for soht Rokuko’s na in the world This is definitely Haku-san’s doing, I can’t see it being anyone else’s

​ And then the next day came shi+kina and Maidence came out to meet Meat and I e turned up at the inn

​ “Master Kehma! Thank you for your hard work!”

​ “Kuro-sama! Um, Kehma-sama, could we have a talk? As expected of my fiancé… err—”

​ For some reason, I just can’t seelets here

​ And I dunno when, but Maidence seemed to fall head over heels for Meat at some point… Meat, what did you do to her? H?

​ Oh really? Well, thencycle? Like just being near your fiancé causes feelings of love Or soenerations of nobles living with nothing to look forward to but arranged ed their innate instincts!

​ “So, I heard Wataru-sensei say that you will be taking a trip to the imperial capital! I would like you to allow me to accompany you as well!”

​ “… Eh, why?”

​ “The reason is obvious: I have already paid for this month’s tuition costs… it will take you at least a month to reach the capital, correct? I would naturally be accoiti proper enough to call it a tuition But still, I guess Ichika and Meat—the ones handling all of the co withthis elf? I guessthe imperial capital, Kuro-sama”

​ “… Goshujin-sa care of the place in our absence? Of course, you could also take a return trip to Tsuia”

​ “Of course I couldn’t, Kehma-sama! I kno I look, but I am accustomed to travel”

​ “I couldn’t take responsibility if so were to happen to you, please understand”

​ “Muuu… responsibility, duty Adults always say the sa that, Maidence took Meat by the ar as a child at a convenient time is just like what an aristocrat would do

​ “Kuro-saht?”

​ “No I will be protecting Goshujin-saet in my way”

​ “… Kuro-sama, your faithfulness to your duty is wonderful!”

​ This is going nowhere It’s the sa that happened with Wataru

​ “… Oh, Maid-san Err, while we are away…”

​ “I understand, I will return her to the Tsuia residence, so rest assured”

​ Maid-san responded so perfunctorily, it helped ease ht onslayer~!”

​ Just then, our part-tiy ears bouncing Yep, let’s not have that fight

​ “Village Chief! While you’re gone at the capital, I’ll be defending the villagehouse-sitting, so let ht Wataru instead?”

​ “Nerune was all, aheh!”

​ Nerune? Are you really so him Wataru? That’s cold! Oh, how the hero has fallen! Gah, I want to feel syh

​ “… Haaaah I’ll allow you to practice with hiht e Chief is reasonable as heck! Understooooood!”

​ Saying that, Setsuna left with a pep in her step

​ “Wait, what? Defense? … Right Gozoh and Roppu are co aside Meat, Gozoh’s party is this village’s representative adventurers I can’t deny that the village’s defense will drop without us all here

​ … Well, I guess the village will be fine with Setsuna here, even if it’s attacked Probably

​ I don’t think people would want to attack the village in the first place, ith there being an adventurer’s guild branch being here and all
