Chapter 197 - Volume 9 (1/2)

Editor Jestersurge

“… A favour?”

“Yes, Vio. That thing.”

Riastea said so and Vio brought something to the table.

Listen to your favour? Are you planning on using me like those pretentious humans in the past? Suddenly, a letter was placed in front of Rinne, who frowned slightly.

“I want you to deliver this to Yurushia. This is from that child to her father. She originally asked me to pass it to her father.”

“………”

They basically told Rinne to go be with Yurushia.

It wasn’t just the rebels that Rinne was trying to protect them from. It also acted as a check against the [Demon Lord] who should be paying attention to this place.

As expected, they weren’t aware of the danger from the [Demon Lord], but the possibility of the [Demon Lord] sending the [Great Demon] under his control on a whim is not zero.

Rinne couldn’t understand the idea of a human who didn’t understand the level of danger they are in. He stared at the rear seat, and Noa and Fani who stood beside Rinne quietly bowed.

“Rinne-sama, please grant our wish. The both of us will risk our ‘existence’ to protect the madams.

“Please protect Yurushia-sama…”

Perhaps the two great demons were also aware of the [Demon Lord]’s movement. Certainly, [Demon Lord] and the others would be more likely to directly target Yurushia than here.

But it was Yurushia’s ‘heart’ that Rinne was trying to protect. Besides, even if the [Demon Lord] attacked directly, I don’t think the current Yurushia would be easily defeated.

As he hesitated on what to do, Riastea and Vio also bowed their heads, and Cyril slapped Rinne’s chest in frustration.

“……I understand.”

Suddenly, a small smile appeared on Rinne for a moment as he let out a sigh.

‘At the very least, let’s give the babies maximum [Blessings].’

Aaa, somehow I felt like something or someone somewhere has really ‘screwed up’.

There were some faces over there that are likely to screw something up. The highest possibility is Fani I guess? No, Noa is there and he has lots of plans, but, hmm…. I can’t be too careful.

“My lady, is there a problem?”

“No, nothing.”

I shook my head lightly at Onzada who spoke to me in a caring manner.

“Hohohoho. We have almost arrived at the Royal Capital. In the meantime, how about some sweet treats for the ladies?”

“Oh my, I am happy.”

Shelly clapped her hands in delight as Geass in his butler form served her homemade muffins.

……It’s a really big carriage. We have a kitchen here so it’s actually not weird to have homemade muffins, but the problem is that the one cooking the muffins is a demon and it does make me wonder what the ingredients are…..

Well, I guess the feelings before were just my imagination. And with Rinne there, those kids won’t do anything weird.

We left the inn town and were on our way to the royal capital.

If all went well, we should be able to get there this evening. My initial plan was to make up for the damage caused by the false heroes in the neighboring towns and villages first, but Rick rather sent the knights he had brought with him to the villages instead, asking me to prioritize the royal capital.

The knights turned blue in the face when I gave them the compensation that was 150 large gold coins without batting an eye. I did not hesitate to put that amount of money out, although I would tighten the purse string when I want to tighten it.

The fixed pay is cheap. There is no overtime fee. But our management policy is to reward hard work with generous bonuses.

……I felt like the ‘Yuzu’ business has gotten stronger since I went to Earth.

Rick led the cavalry on a horse beside the carriage. Noel also borrowed a spare horse originally for the carriage to guard the area.

The【Hero】and【Holy Warrior】of the Saint Country were going to escort me, so it looked like I won’t have to worry about the dragons coming, let alone the rebels. There are no dragons in this world, though.
