152 Episode 152 "The Beginning of a Trip for Three Girls and the Activation of" High Level Cheat Skills "".txt (1/2)

A few days later.

Aine, Leticia, and Cutlass left for the resort town of Mishlila.

It was a carefree departure, borrowing a carriage from the Ilgafa lord's family.

The reason we were able to borrow a carriage was because of the great success of the 'Oohoumei Party' and the fact that we received the 'Heavenly Dragon's Blessing', which made the lord-san feel good about it.

Leticia said that a two-horse carriage is a luxury when there are only three of us traveling together, but Iris, who came as the representative of the lord's family, said, ”If the journey is for the 'Heavenly Dragon's Representative' to connect the town of Wings, the resort and the port city of Irgafa with the 'Heavenly Dragon's Blessing', it's a kind of ceremony. A certain amount of ceremony would be necessary,” he said and did not relent.

In the end, it was Nagi who made the decision, but there was no way he would refuse to ”make the journey of his friends easier”──!

In the end, Leticia and the three of them had to leave in the carriage.

''Hmmm!　It's a beautiful day.

Perfect for a second 'company trip', wouldn't you say?

Aine is happy to have both Leticia and Mr. Cutlass with her.

Leticia and Cutlass are sitting on the Gosha-dai, while Aine is checking her luggage later.

It was early morning when they left the mansion.

The good friend Cheeto's slaves and the master (Nagi) saw the three of them off with a smile.

Several hours have passed since then, and the carriage is moving along the street, swaying faintly.

It was the beginning of the 'trip with friends' that Leticia had dreamed of.

...... ”...... You have really hit the nail in the coffin of my wish, Nagi-san: ......

Leticia held her cheeks, which involuntarily seemed to loosen up.

We'll have dinner together, stay at the inn and talk - I get excited just thinking about it.

What shall we do? What shall we talk about? Aine and I are going to start with a dish for three people: .......

You can't go to ....... Our journey has just begun.

Leticia realizes she's floating and shakes her head (cover) in a hurry.

We have to brace ourselves until we get to the other side.

''Aine. You're connected to Nagi-san in ”Chii and Sukiru”, right?　In case you're wondering, call me on time every hour at ......

Hmmmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

When Leticia turned around, her eyes met with her best friend (Aine), whose expression remained loose.

She was so vivacious that she couldn't compare to Leticia earlier.

Her eyes sparkled and she hummed lightly, like she was dreaming of a fun future .......

'Um, Aine,'

What?　Letitia.

Why are you so smug?

Handing the horse's reins to Cutlass, Leticia leaned toward the back of the cart.

'Ehh. What is it? Aine doesn't have a smirk on her face at all.

Aine turns toward the wall and peers into the leather bag.

It's behind her, but I can tell. Her earlobes and neck are bright red.

'Are you moaning because you're going on a trip, Letitia?　Even though it's a 'chit-chara', you have to brace yourself for an all-girl trip. Hmmm...

'I don't want Aine to be the only one to say that now.

As she said it, Letitia looked at Cutlass next to her.

'Do you know anything about it, Mr. Cutlass?'

I have no idea. But you seem very happy, Lady Aine.

That means that ...... something happened that would make Aine happy.

Letitia puts her hand to her chin (chin) and thinks about it.

Something that would make her best friend (Aine) happy. Something that would make her hum. It's ...... hmmmm.

'Nagi-san.'

Bikun.

Aine's back trembled as Leticia murmured.

'...... Huh?　What is the matter with you, Aine?

Hey, it's nothing.

Nagi and Aine at ......

No response.

'Nagi-san and Rita-san?　No, Mr. Cecil.

Bi-bi-bi-bi-bi.

'Nagi-san, Iris-san and Raphilia-san. Leggy-san?

No response.

'Nagi and Cecil.'

Biiku, biiku, biiku. Huh?

More. Letitsier. We can't play with Aine.

I won't do it again.

Letitia put her hand over her mouth and chuckled.

'Because I had it all figured out,'

...... It's not a good idea to intrude on your master's privacy.

I'm not your slave, Mr. Nagi. I'm your best friend.

Laetitia chuckled as she looked at Aine.

'And I am also your best friend, Aine. Therefore, I can only expect you to be so pleased.

Ugh. ......

'Nagi-san and Cecil-san have become 'very good friends', haven't they?　And you helped with that. Isn't that right?

Aine isn't sure either: ”Aine isn't sure either: ...... I just think it's kind of true.

Aine replied, holding her hot cheeks.

Then she looked at her best friend (Letitia).

You know, ...... Letitia.

What is it?

Letitia is surprisingly naughty in case you haven't noticed.

Aine murmurs with her eyes.

''──na!

Leticia's face turned bright red.

You realize the meaning of the words you just said and you can't help but picture them in your mind. Then her body temperature suddenly spikes. Leticia hurriedly slaps her cheek and chases away the image that came to mind.

''See?''

I don't think so.

It was somewhat embarrassing, so Letitia looked away from Aine.

'But ...... this is a valuable step for Nagi and the others, isn't it?

And for Leticia, who has been watching over them for a long time, it's something she has to support. Even Leticia has had Aine's back until now.

Aine's wish is to take care of her family by becoming the ”party's big sister”. That includes taking care of Nagi's children.

For that reason, Aine is prepared to be in a position to give milk to Nagi's child.

Leticia thinks it's ...... a determination, or rather a desire.

...... That means that Aine's 'big sister limiter' has been lifted. Huh, it's getting fun.

I can't stop smiling.

That's why I love this party ......, Letitia mumbles without saying a word.

It's much better than the socializing and gossiping of the aristocratic society. It's fun and pleasant and warm just to be together. It's enough to make you want to thank fate for bringing you and everyone else together and that you're in a position to help everyone else.

'I don't know what it is, but it's going to be interesting!

'Oh, ...... I'm sorry, Mr. Cutlass,'

Letitia looked at Cutlass, who was sitting next to her.

'You've left me out of the mix. Let's see, this topic involves ...... Nagi's personal information, so if you can ...... ask him if you can, please ask him.

I don't mind, sir.

Cutlass smiled with a toothy grin.

''I'm like a knight protecting everyone, so as long as everyone is happy, that's all that matters!

He's a good man. Mr. Cutlass.

Letitia looked at Cutlass and laughed.

Why do all the girls gather around Nagi, all the girls who want to be friends?

This is why I want to be with them. It's really a problem for them.

I envy you your position, once and for all.

Is that so?

Sometimes I envy myself that I'm a nobleman. ......

Letitia gave a small sigh.

''Even though I'm with you all, I can't help but remember that I'm from the Viscount's family (shakuke). I'm so weak. I'm weak. I guess I'm not ready to truly abandon my position yet. ......

Aristocracy is a difficult thing, isn't it? ......

...... There's a lot to be said for a house that's been around for a long time.

Is that so?

Yes, it is.

I didn't know I was a royal princess, so it was easy for me to abandon my position, but it's not easy for someone who has lived as a nobleman all his life.

”Yes, ......, my goodness... wait a minute!

Leticia looked into Cutlass' face, feeling as if she had heard some amazing words.

''Mr. Cutlass. What did you just say?　Princess?　The royal family?　Huh?

Oh, you didn't tell Lady Letitia that, did you?

Cutlass scratched his head in embarrassment.

It's a bastard child that His Majesty the current King of the League, King Nadal, had given birth to by his handmaiden. I've never met His Majesty, and I'm sure he's forgotten all about me. Here's a coin from the royal family.

With a pop, as if it were a cheap copper coin, Cutlass placed a golden coin in Leticia's hand.

A half-moon shaped coin engraved with the profile of a little girl - Leticia had heard of it too. It's a special one that is minted when a child is born into the royal family.

...... um. Aine?　Is it true?

Letitia looked at Aine.

Aine, in the back of the truck, with her hands in her leather bag.

It's true. Aine has the certificate. Um...

'Huh?　You still saved it, sir?

'I have them in my 'sister's treasure chest'. Don't worry, Mr. Cutlass, it won't go away.

There's no need for that, sir.

Cutlass scratched his gray hair as if he was troubled.

I'm trying to become a ”slave girl knight” (self-proclaimed) that will make some people proud. I'm not a slave princess knight. In other words, I'm a slave, a knight to protect you all. That's the most important thing, nothing else matters.

Saying that, Cutlass snapped the sword at his waist with a clunk.

It's a good thing ...... is not such a strong knight to begin with. It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to find a way to get the best out of it,” he said, ”because the only skills we had until now were low-level combat skills like 'shield charge' and 'randa', a multistage attack that doesn't hit very often.

Cutlass-san is very strong right now. The Gouhai Shield Charge, the Canceling Shield Charge, the Artifact Ruler, and...

Artifacts are Feen's domain. The artifacts are the domain of Feen. He says he's prepared for a night with Aruji, but ...... I don't really know what that means. ......

Leticia listened to Cutlass and Aine's story with a bang.

And then...

...... Phew.

Letitia held her stomach and started laughing.

'Huh. Hahahahahahahahaha.''

What is the matter, sir?　Lady Letitia.

''I'm sorry. I was listening to your story, and it made me feel like an idiot for being so troubled by the blood of a nobleman. ......

Leticia laughed and wiped her eyes, which had tears in them.

Then she regained her grip on the reins that she had left with Cutlass.

The most important thing ...... is what's most important. You said it well. Mr. Cutlass.

Is it?　I'm not that respectable, but ......

I was wondering if you would be my friend, if you would be willing to be my friend.

Letitia held out her hand to Cutlass.

'I like you, my dear. If you will be my friend, please take Letitia-Milfe's hand. 'Cutlass-Mutran.'

I'm not afraid of being friends with a nobleman.

That's my line!　Why do you have to come up with that line in the story so far!

I can't help but laugh as I plunge in.

(Really, it doesn't really matter to this girl what the royal lineage is.)

What matters is your master and your family. I like that.

While holding the hand of the girl sitting next to her, Leticia nodded.

And when she held the map in her hand and was about to confirm the path of the carriage──.

I saw four magical 'lights' floating in the sky ahead of me.

'Leticia which!　What's that?!

Four magic lights in a row. That's our cue to call for help!

This is the middle point between the port city and the city of wings. It is surrounded by forest, but it is not inhabited by powerful demons.

It is unlikely that a demon would appear in a place like this.

Is something strange happening ......

When I was rescued by Arujidono, it was on the side of the road: ......

Letitia and Cutlass looked at each other.

They nodded to each other at the same time.

Nagi had said. This trip is for the purpose of building a base, and also to spread the rumor that the 'Heavenly Dragon's Blessing' has been given to three towns, including the port city of Ilgafa.

Therefore, I don't mind helping a few people. We can just say, ”Oh no, it's the heavenly dragon's blessing.

If that's the case, there's no problem for the two of us to make a move here.

I'll go myself. Aine, take the carriage. Cutlass-san will go to .......

I'm coming with you, sir.

Cutlass grabbed his sword.

Arujidono has given me the skills for this. I've been given the skills for this purpose by Arjidor, and he said I could use them if my ”knight's heart” twitched. It's just a skill that makes you look like a skilled adventurer, so there is no problem.

A new skill, sir?

”I believe it's ...... '4 Concepts' and it's a 'skill that doesn't diminish in level'.

'I see. I see that being 'very good friends' with Cecil has given you a new skill: ......

I can imagine that because I had heard about the 'Soul Agreement (Engage)' with Cecil before.

''If Nagi-san gave me the skill, then there should be no problem.

Of course, sir!

Letitia and Cutlass got out of the carriage.

They left the reins to Aine. Aine is also a ”tiny chara”. It's not a problem if it's just to protect the carriage. If you can't protect it, you can just abandon the carriage and run away. The most important luggage is in Aine's leather bag, ”Sister's Treasure Box”.

''Let's go, Mr. Cutlass!

Yes, sir!
