Chapter 37

CHAPTER 37 – DEPARTURE

「With this, we can go on a journey without any worries」

「What!?」「Haa!?」「N?」「Oh?」

In order, Derrick-sama, Wald-sama, Callan-sama, and Risner-sama.

All of them let out silly voices because of my announcement.

Are? Did I not tell them before?

「Tak.u.mi, are you leaving Shirin?」

「Yes. I actually wanted to leave earlier, but I was concerned about the matter with Baron Gilbert」

At least, I wanted to resolve the matter with『Gold Wheat’s Shop』before going on a journey.

I think that if the problem were only the slave trader, I would quickly leave the town. It would look like running away, but dealing with fellows like that is troublesome.

I think it was good that all the problems got settled as a result.

「Have you decided on your destination?」

「I thought about going south towards the sea」

「I see… so you are staying in the country…」

When I said that I’m『Going south』, the four people made expressions of relief.

Is that it? Do they want to keep human resources in the country?

In a case of emergency, the magnitude of the damage will change depending on the available fighting power. It must be something that Knights must consider at all times.

「The south, is it? Which means, Bailey?」

「Yes, that’s right」

The destination has been pretty much decided on the port Bailey on the Southwest of Guardia.

The season is already a complete summer. It’s all about sea when it comes to summer, right?

I thought about showing the sea to Allen and Elena.

Ordinary people would travel from town to town, and it would take at least a month by carriage to arrive. If that would be the case, summer would already be at its final stage, so I intend to ride Joule and others, that way we can expect to arrive in a few days.

Because of that, there’s no need to hesitate.

「Tak.u.mi-san, here」

「A letter? Risner-sama, this is?」

Risner-sama hands me a single letter.

Hearing our destination, Risner-sama borrowed tools from Callan-sama and wrote it on the spot.

「It’s a letter of introduction to the feudal lord of Bailey」

「Eh!?」

To think it was for the feudal lord-sama!?

I inadvertently retracted the hand I was about to receive the letter with.

「Bailey’s feudal lord is my acquaintance. I will contact him so definitely visit him when you arrive in Bailey. I don’t mind if you force him to support bakery, etc.」

「Eeh!?」

Not “rely on” but “I don’t mind if you force him”…… What are you saying! As expected, something like that is not possible.

Risner-sama continues to present me the letter while grinning.

Ah~ the well-prepared smile…… it’s not something I can go against~

I look around asking for help, but as expected no one wants to help me. If I had to say they have a “receive it” feeling.

I decided to accept it gratefully.

Even so, I have no intention of forcing my troubles on him. Let’s rely on him only when in a difficult situation.

I may ask him to support the bakery, though……

After finishing my business with the Knights, I visited the Adventurer’s Guild, Road-san, and the Inn to say goodbye.

When I said we are leaving, everyone was surprised. We were detained at the Adventurer’s Guild.

Luna-san particularly had a very sorrowful look on her face, she looked like she would start clinging to me at any moment.

It must be because I’m an important supplier of material from Gaya Forest. I feel slightly empty inside that there was no love element involved………

The next morning was an ideal day for the departure.

We departed from Shirin and soon walked off the highway. After confirming that there are no people around, I summoned my Contracted beasts.

『Waffu』『Gau』『Pii』

The three immediately nestle close to me.

「O~ Yoshyosh」

I could hardly summon the Contracted beasts before. They may be sulky that it took so long to call them.
