The only reason we were able to get our cover in time was because Mr. Cutlass was desperately trying to protect the wagon.

I said to the leader of the wagon escort party.

Cutlass-san's job is only to assist in the escort, and his reward is the safety of the journey and food and such for the duration of the trip.

To be frank, it's close to no pay, and Dolgor didn't seem to be looking for that much work either. And the main thing was, ”I want to help the young ones.

'So I thought it would be enough to serve as an ...... escort aid. Besides, we're not that strong, so the more people we have, the more help we can get. So, if Cutlass-san is really in a hurry, you can come with me. To be honest, that would be very helpful. We'll hold each other, and we won't owe each other anything there (charade).

'Um, I can go to ......, but I'm also ......

with a plop

The leader of the wagon escort party pushed Mr. Cutlass, who was looking around from side to side, back.

'I'll talk to my client first.

”Leader, which ......?

”...... It's not for you. If we made a mistake and interfered with the future knight, it's because we don't have the face to match the client. This time, we've been humiliated to a great extent. ...... Let me show you something.

Then the leader looked away from Mr. Cutlass, embarrassed.

It was settled.

'Also, I've put you guys through a lot of trouble. Take this as an apology.

The leader of the adventurers then held out a small crystal to me.

The Skill Crystal. I got this in a little place, but it's not really my thing. Use it if you like.

...... What are your skills?

It's a skill I've acquired to correct my indecision... 'Impatience Level 3'.

...... Um, that's...

”Impatience Level 3

The skill of deciding on an action ”quickly

「「「「 This is the reason why I ran out in a hurry and was attacked by a demon────!

The general tweak of the wagon escort party exploded at the leader.

It was critical.

''Nah, I don't know how to thank you!

We parted from the wagon party on the road.

We began our journey in the wagon again. We added one more member to the party, but the horses didn't mind. Cutlass-san looks pretty light from the looks of it.

Cecil and Rita are sitting behind me, observing Cutlass-san.

Reggie is in his demon sword state, and before I know it, he's rolling up behind Cutlass-san. Maybe she's doing a gender check. Because it's Reggie.

''That's right!　We want to pay for you to accompany us, sir!

Suddenly, Mr. Cutlass said.

'Fine. I said we don't owe each other anything.'

That's not going to happen, sir!

'If you insist, how about ...... that in the future, when Mr. Cutlass becomes an awesome knight and receives the territory, he gets the right to wander in and beg for food?'

'Then I am sorry, sir!　I'd like to pay you all right now for your food...

Mr. Cutlass reached for the leather bag that was cradled around his waist.

The cord that held the bag together snapped. It looks like it was cut in the battle earlier.

The leather bag that doubles as a wallet opens its mouth wide and...

A dozen or so coins splashed on the floor of the carriage.

''Wow. Wahhhhh──!

Mr. Cutlass crawls on the floor to collect coins.

There's some silver, some coppers and some...

It was a coin, engraved with the profile of a girl wearing a crown.

Reflexively, I display the log of 'Consciousness Sharing and Modification'.

I overlap the coin in my field of vision with the coin held by ”West Wind's Penny Hunting”.

The coin is overlapped. Without an inch of error.

The coin in the image is only the right half of the coin.

Mr. Cutlass is holding - the 'Royal Coin'.

...... This is a commemorative coin made when a ...... prince or princess is born, isn't it ......?

And it is not in general circulation.

According to Iris, only the royal family has them. The others are high-ranking nobles. And it seems that only those with a connection to the royal family have .......

If you have it - is this the person the High Spec Pickpocket Legion was looking for?

''Mr. Cutlass is ...... related to the royal family. Don't tell me you're a prince ......?

What do you mean by that, sir?

He shook his shoulders - and looked at me with a look of profound surprise on his face.

I'm not a member of the royal family, sir!　And he can't be a prince, can he?　What do you mean by that!

Really?

Of course!

Mr. Cutlass holds his chest wrapped in a breastplate and declares.

I swear to you, I swear by God. I am not a prince. No, I'm not a prince. If I were such a person, I'd do whatever Souma says!

Mr. Cutlass shook his head and said, ”Bam, bam, bam, bam!

...... It's no use. You have helped me.

You must tell Souma and the others. I must tell you why I have this coin: ......

He closed his eyes and began to speak quietly.
