The crisis in the Kingdom of Salettana was over.

The nobles and royalty were relieved that the threat of monsters did not visit their country.

And it became apparent that the nobles who had temporarily fled the Kingdom of Salettana were leaving the country where they had been staying and returning to their own countries.

They are nobles with nothing but political power.

When the danger of monsters comes, it is better to stay away until the situation is settled.

But those who are loyal to the king never run away.

They only let their heirs and children escape.

When some of the nobles heard that an army of monsters was approaching the kingdom of Salettana, they immediately moved to other countries for their own safety.

But this time, because the devil was controlling their memories, most of the nobles were unable to escape to another country and were confronted with the threat of the monsters.

Nevertheless, some nobles miraculously succeeded in escaping to safety.

This nobleman, who is now driving in a carriage from the Kingdom of Garrot to the Kingdom of Salettana, is one of them.

“Carter! How much longer?”

“‘Meryl-Ojou-sama! Please don’t lean out of the carriage! We are almost there!”

“I understand- you know!” (She is using -wa or -desuwa at the end of her sentence)

Carter, who was playing the role of an armed guard, was approached by Meryl, a young but beautiful girl, who leaned out of the carriage and called out to him.

The Kingdom of Salettana is just a stone’s throw away, but she is a child who is normally in an active stage.

She was enjoying watching Carter’s troubled face as she leaned forward in that manner.

Besides, it was very cramped in the small carriage, and the only thing she could do was look out of the window.

She wanted to move her body as much as possible.

After pulling her face back into the carriage, Meryl sat down on a chair and caressed the fluffy thing, which was next to her.

It makes a growling [Gururu] sound, but it is not a threatening voice.

“Lize~. We’re almost there!”

“Garuu……”

“Fluffy~. Fluff, fluff~”

“……”

The one called Lize was a beast with beautiful fur that ruffled.

It looks like a tiger with alternating white and pale colors.

A little nudged by Lize, it poked Meryl in the face with its tail.

Perhaps feeling better, Meryl jumps on it and enjoys the fluffiness of its body.

It’s the same sight as usual, yet it’s the way things are.

Meryl is not feeling bad, and she is even thankful to this child.

Despite the fact that it is a monster, they are able to spend time together like this.

To Meryl’s father and to her followers who allowed this, it is impossible to thank them enough.

It has always wanted to repay Meryl, who miraculously found it in her extreme situation of being lost in the forest with nothing to eat or drink, to the utmost extent.

Although it is not expected that just being an escort would be enough to make up for the debt, Lize has undertaken this task in the hope that it will be of some help to her.

Before the monster horde, they had stayed in the Kingdom of Garrot for several weeks, so they had not interfered with the devil’s memory manipulation.

After receiving reports that the monster threat had passed, Carter suggested that if all the monsters had been wiped out, now would be the best time to return to safety, so this is how they are returning to their home country.

But things were not working out that well.

“!!!”

The carriage suddenly stops and Meryl’s body tilts a little.

Catching it by the tail, she repositions herself and slowly peeks outside.

“No, I guess my guesses were wrong. ……”

“…….”

Lize looks at Carter, who is scratching his head.

He’s not very smart.

It always think that it would be nice to be in the shoes of someone who is turned on by his words, but it can’t talk anyway.

In the meantime, It just kept staring at him.

This time, only Carter and Lize are escorting her.

The reason for this is that Carter has prepared a carriage on his own initiative and is on his way back home, in response to Meryl’s selfishness of wanting to see her father as soon as possible.

Since it was his own decision, he could not let the people around him know about it.

The fact that nothing had happened until now was a miracle.

Lize sighed heavily and then sniffed.

From the smell, it seems that there are not that many monsters, and they are probably goblins.

However, if Carter were to deal with them all by himself, he would have a very tough time.

Thinking that it was time for him to leave, he put his hand on the doorknob of the carriage. ……

“Let’s go!”

“Gyawo!?”

Carter began to wipe out the goblin pack that was swarming around him with the twin swords he was carrying.

The sword’s unwavering line of attack accurately pierced the goblins’ vital points, staining the surroundings with blood.

Although he is dim-witted, Carter is as skilled as a knight with his twin swords.

As an escort, there are probably very few people who can move around as well as he does.

The smell of living things is gradually fading away.

The numbers seemed to have dwindled to the point where they could no longer be counted.

With this, there would be no need to force them to get out.

Carter was just caught up in his own self-imposed decision.

Carter was just caught in the middle of something he had decided to do on his own.

“Yes, it’s over.”

He shakes out his blood stained swords, then pulls out his small sword.

He is probably a former adventurer, judging from the way Carter strips off the material with a smile on his face.

He has been accumulating pocket money without realizing it, and he goes out and buys Meryl’s favorite things.

Is he a caring person or does he just want to pamper himself? ……

Carter shuddered at Lize’s sharp gaze that Meryl wouldn’t give to a man who tried to rip her off for money.

After a moderate amount of stripping, Carter finally returned and drove the carriage.

He acts as if nothing has happened, but that’s just to keep Meryl from getting worried.

However, …….

“zzzz~”

Meryl was sleeping.

It often wondered if its own hair had a sleeping effect, but it curled up with her and went to sleep, knowing well that it was a good thing it didn’t make a filthy noise.
