Serge spoke abruptly It was a bit dangerous for him to stand in the driver’s seat
“Events?”
Gig asked in response He was also bored on this journey The monsters were too weak Most of them ran from Rudolph’s presence
As though he were suffering, Serge said in a serious tone
“Yeah For instance, a princess and her close friend saving a noble’s carriage from an attack, that kind of event”
Aah… Carlos laughed sarcastically He drew his horse near Serge
“If only it were like that If there were any proble that pattern he’d be wed to the princess”
“See! We’re traveling in especially re”
“Things like that don’t actually happen Ignoring that this area isvillages Whenever nobles travel in carriages, they’d always have guards”
Though Carlos said that, Serge gave an example that didn’t refute it
“Isn’t she a princess with only a single escort? I’ about the exceptions!”
There were reckless royalty like Ria, but they were also trouble
“It’d be good for you to train your ths for you to get that new Skill”

“Huh?”
Serge, who had shut his eyes, suddenly opened them wide
“Ah~, there’s an ar the hills and forest ahead of us”
(You can see things that far away?)
Though she was impressed, the army was a problem
“An army? How many people? Do you know their weapons?”
Ria checked Though the area around there shouldn’t be part of a nation, it ht have been a tribe’s troops
“Twenty cavalry, one hundred infantry… four carriages, prisoners… no, slaves? It’s like a convoy but…”
“Cordova’s slave hunters!”
Maal shouted suddenly Together with her own unpleasant memories, it corresponded to her current existence
“Cordova… that place really isn’t a good country”
Ria groaned while enduring what looked like a headache As a militaristic nation of humans, Cordova absorbed h it was a law-abiding country, it wasn’t forbidden for them to enslave people from other countries

Carlos asked with a coinally, it would have been an opponent they shouldn’t come in contact with
But since Ria knew of them, he believed there wouldn’t be such a simple conclusion

Seeing Maal’s cute and round eyes, Ria’s judgereatly erred towards emotion

Maal quickly raised her hand, followed by Serge and Gig The two older people were reluctant, but they also raised their hands
“You’re fine with it?”
Though Ria was surprised, Lulu and Carlos exchanged glances and smiled wryly
