We Defeated the Demon and Disbanded Without Any Conflict

81 – Moving by carriage means

Would there be any disadvantages if there are more than a certain number of absences in a semester?

I don’t remember going to any other educational institution, but I could guess that the more times I missed school, the more I was penalized.

..Can you participate in the event even if you are absent at random?

It was a bit regretful to remember that I was sincere in attendance, but I think this kind of deviation is fun to enjoy because I belong to this place.

As I was packing my things without saying anything like I had done until now, I suddenly thought of Rain, Solar, and Lian. It was not difficult to imagine the reaction of the three when they left without saying a word. It would be nice to get in touch properly.

I took out the mana stone for communication that I always carry in my pocket and told Lian that I was going to Odrox’s estate. After completing the mission and receiving the reward, he returned to the academy and told Rain and Solar.

In the past, I would have moved my feet first without thinking, but I thought, judged, and delivered it to them. It’s to the point where I’m afraid of growing and learning myself.

Maybe it was because he was meeting a colleague, but they also nodded and told me to go, without saying anything else. They didn’t talk about space travel at all. How could he say such a thing when he knew that Solar had suffered so much?

After telling them the truth, I called the coachman who was smoking tobacco next to the carriage with a much lighter heart.

In fact, if I had enough money, I would have used a teleporter, but riding a wagon wasn’t bad either. There is also a mood that can only be felt with carriages.

“Are you going to the beginning of the Northern Helpes Mountains?”

“Ah yes! Of course! By any chance, do you have any money..?”

Since the northern part is quite far from here, the coachman asked if he had any money to pay. It was a sufficient amount to pay for the mission, so I nodded and the coachman signaled me to get on with an exaggerated gesture.

There was no reason to delay, so after paying half the total price in advance, I hurriedly got on the carriage. The wagon began to move with the sound of hissing, whether it was excitement or fear of being whipped.

It probably slows down the closer you get to the north. I felt the greatness of Samut Solar. Without this process, if you blink once, you have arrived at your destination. Of course, perfect movement to the desired place requires a prerequisite that Solar must know the terrain there.

I don’t like this feeling. I like the sound of the wheels rolling and the occasional jolting feeling.

I chose a wagon with a screen, so I took off the bandages with the thought of enjoying it properly.

A cool breeze brushed my face, and at the same time, I could see the scenery passing by at a fairly high speed. He slowly poked his head out of the curtain. Every once in a while the wheel gets caught on a boulder and swings and a leaf hits its face.

As the landscape full of green came into view, it felt like the fatigue accumulated in the middle of the day was gone.

..

I eagerly looked at the scenery and enjoyed it, but I couldn’t even go 1/10, let alone half.

Now that I was tired of looking outside, I tore some notebooks out of my backpack and started making origami.

Even though each body part was folded and combined to complete the Wyvern I saw then, not much time had passed, so I even took the shape of the building by stacking up the ropes that were scattered.

He passed the time, but he could still see Hidin, let alone the North.

At this rate, it will probably take more than four days. That’s enough time to become best friends with the coachman.

If you want to fall asleep for a while, the carriage rattles and your body jumps up, waking you up. A few more boring hours than the lecture time passed without even getting a good night’s sleep.

The sun had set and the road was completely engulfed in darkness. The coachman also continued whipping when it was moderately dark, but he seemed to feel that there was no need to overdo it now that darkness was covering the ground.

They entered the wooded forest and made a temporary camp. I don’t know how many times I’ll repeat this process in the future, but it was a little boring to stay here without a word.

A fire was lit to prevent the approach of monsters. The coachman was sitting still, chewing on something, watching the fire. Maybe it’s preservation.

Since the purpose of Odrox’s calling me is cooking anyway, it wouldn’t be bad to try cooking while recalling your memories here in advance.

“Coachman, can you taste the dish?”

“Yes? Here? I don’t have any ingredients…”

“I’ll get you, so can you please stop sleeping for a while?”

“It’s dark, would you mind? You covered your eyes too…”

I don’t look ugly Still, he is an adventurer who has gone through all kinds of battles.

After reassuring the coachman by saying it was all right, he went deep into the woods, explored the surroundings, picked up some edible root vegetables, and returned with a couple of small animals.

“Uh… you’re fast…”

Hearing a high-purity compliment for the first time in a while, he slightly raised his nose and started grooming.

I was the one who made food that looked dangerous in the demon realm and that I had never seen before, well-groomed and edible. Of course, I ate to live, so anything would have been delicious. In any case, it can be said that the hand has reached the stage of remembering the care of food.

Of course, I don’t intend to put all my heart into it, I just intend to make a stew that is good for a camp meal in moderation.

It’s dairy-free, so you won’t be able to get a deep, smooth taste, but you’ll be able to eat enough. Didn’t they eat in moderation without even a hint of salt there in the first place?

Alright, relax, taste buds.

“It’s just like that.”

It is not for nothing that they say that an empty stomach is the best side dish.

O’Drox said he had seasonings at home, so he didn’t bring them. Thanks to this, I couldn’t catch the smell of the meat, and the liver was bored.

It was okay if I ate it patiently, but I couldn’t feel the touching taste that came from the midst of that desperate situation at the time.

Who will I be able to teach? At that time, the milk with honey must have been several times as delicious.

..But, well, this is not bad without other ingredients.

After consoling myself, I had a little talk with the coachman. There was little I could do while on the move, so I decided to keep an eye on the surroundings while the coachman slept. Originally, it would have been correct to find a separate escort mercenary, but I gave up on hiring them because I thought I would be empty without an answer if I hired a mercenary on the way to the far north.

We took a short break with the sound of the crackling fire as music. There was really nothing to do except to add firewood from time to time.

I can’t even sense the presence of hostile creatures. It’s not that I don’t sleep at all.

First of all, the coachman intends to relieve fatigue for sure. Even if you stay up all night, if you are too sleepy, you can sleep in the carriage.

The night deepens.

..

“Ooh… I’m sorry… I fell asleep too deeply…”

“It’s okay. You just need to go faster than that.”

“Euhahahaha! Yes! I will do my best to serve you as much as I slept comfortably!”

It’s nice to be hot As if there was no need for further delay, the coachman mounted the horse. I also hurriedly got into the carriage, and as soon as I checked it, the coachman swung his whip to announce the departure.

And the wait continues again. Fortunately, I got to know the coachman a bit, so I was less bored than yesterday.

“Did you hear that Adrian Coulson moved in to fill the 6-star position that was vacant after Merton Jean’s death?”

“Huh? Really? I didn’t know… aren’t there many stronger people?”

“I thought so too, but didn’t Adrian Coulson’s child go missing this time? Rumor has it that he grew stronger because of evil. I hear that he has dim eyes and walks around like he’s about to collapse, but after work he catches and kills them all. Are you saying?”

Adrian Coulson was chosen by the high-ranking people as they debated with each other, so it must be true that he has become really strong. It’s because a gold-class adventurer has risen to the 7-star position, overtaking so many mercenaries and adventurers.

In addition to the appointment of Adrian Colson, we had many conversations and repeated naps in the wagon, and then the sun set and darkness began to fall, so we hurriedly found a suitable place to rest and lit a fire. Fortunately, there were no monsters or thieves attacking along the way. The horse looked a little excited even though he was resting, as if he was satisfied with being able to run without any danger.

“Why are you wearing that bandage?”

Whether it was because they wanted to become close friends or because they didn’t have anything else to say, the coachman said that.

I would have been curious But to ask him directly again, he would have been a bit hesitant because it seemed like he was touching a painful part.

“I went through a bit of a bad thing while living an adventurer’s life.”

“Oh, by any chance, did you become blind?”

“No, it’s not like that, it’s just…”

At that moment, footsteps were heard.

The sound of footsteps that were reduced awkwardly and awkwardly came closer. As I listened a little more, I could vaguely hear the sound of a sword being drawn.

The coachman didn’t seem to notice yet. It sounded disappointing to him, but it seemed unreasonable to go to the destination without much trouble.

“Coachman. Please answer with a nod instead of answering.”

As I kept my voice as low as possible and conveyed that, the coachman nodded as if he understood.

Just by changing the atmosphere, I felt like I noticed what had happened. This person has invested a lot of time in this job, so he must be used to the wagon attack by now.

The sound of the knife being drawn roughly three times. My guess is that they were small bands of bandits preying on wagons and passengers traveling outside the borders.

Conversely, if you do a surprise attack, you should be able to take care of one or two people. It’s a forest, not a plain, so I’ll be able to take care of the remaining one somehow.

Armed with one blade each. Judging by the sound of footsteps, there are two big guys and one skinny guy.

“The first thing they’re aiming for is the wagon. As soon as they confirm that there is no luggage in the wagon, they’re going to target the coachman or me right away, right?”

Footsteps are getting closer.

“Get out of the way now and adjust to the darkness. And after they search the wagon, move to the back and hide in the wagon.”

nod

With one nod, the coachman stepped back.

I’m going to put out this bonfire anyway, so I’ll have to fight while blindfolded.

I hear the sound of footsteps brushing the blades of grass. I must have said that it moves quietly in the form, but at least I heard it all in my ears.

The best time to take a surprise attack is when you think you’re ‘unnoticed’.

The three of them are pretty close. But it didn’t seem like they would disperse if they waited any longer.

Taking a surprise attack on a large group of people is not the best choice for me. Still, I am confident now. Because the time and environment were so perfect for me.

He picked up a stone and threw it at the campfire. With the sound of the half-burnt firewood crackling, the flames that had been burning split into small ones and scattered in all directions.

A bright red heat source lands on the wet field. The small flames lost their power and went out without burning the wet grass.

The sound of sudden footsteps was heard at this sudden action. He didn’t even seem to be able to hide his bewilderment.

‘You’re advertising that you’re there. Thank you for letting me know.’

I crept up to the luggage compartment, pulled out a rope, and wrapped it around my hand. If you’re going to surprise me, you should do it properly.

With a rope in one hand and a dagger in the other, I walked slowly toward a place where I felt a presence.

They hadn’t noticed my presence yet.
