Isekai ni Demodori Shimashita? Chapter 1 (1/2)

Chapter 1 –  It begins from here on?

The main highway that links the Kingdom and the Republic.

Here travels a single carriage and a group of knight that appear to be its guard.

“My, my… I can finally return home(to the castle) huh…”

So muttered a robed man who appeared to be in his thirties who was sitting in the carriage.

“Honestly… diplomacy isn’t supposed to be part of my job…”

Immediately after he said this, the carriage topped.

“What’s the matter?”

The man called out to a person outside.

“Bandits, it seems. There appear to be roughly 60 of them in front of us.”

A young voice voiced a reply from outside.

“Hmm… Shall I go out as well?”

Saying that, the man opened the carriage door.

“Oi, leave all your money and weapons, and leave!”

The man who appeared to be the leader yelled out.

“Are you aware that we are a diplomatic envoy?”

“How would I know something like that. Even if I did, doesn’t matter! Doesn’t change my job, after all!”

Was the fact that they didn’t change their att.i.tude at all after hearing that it was a delegation guarded by an official knight brigade because they had too much confidence, or was it because they knew from the beginning…?

The forces on the envoy’s side numbered 20, and including the magus, 21.

The enemy numbers were unknown, but there were probably plenty enough to send them into chaos.

“Even though it would only take half a day to arrive… Everybody, let’s elimate them.”

After saying that to the guard knights, he began constructing his own magic.

The knights took up positions that would allow them to deal with the bandits while protecting the carriage and the robed man.

Meeting the bandit charge, he fired off his magic.

“O scorching flames, burn all away!”

A fireball twice the size of a person’s head appeared above the robed man, and flew towards the bandits.

“I didn’t hear s.h.i.+t about a magus! Fall back!”
