Chapter 61: Meeting and Reunion (1) * "I guess it doesn't matter?"

"..."

I talked to Flora about how to get to the next city, and the response was as expected.

I think he may be too dependent on me.

Is it because he is conscious that he doesn't know much about society?

It's already been more than a month since Flora was rescued by me.

Don't you think you would have known to some extent by this point?

It's not like Flora is a bad person.

However, she still thinks it would be okay to leave all the decision-making power to me.

But when I look at those bright eyes, I feel like no matter what I say, it will come back to me that it doesn't matter in the end.

Ugh. I can't help it. I'll have to take you tomorrow and let you know.

What information should be gathered to make a decision.

"Then we will decide tomorrow what to do. Let's sleep first."

"Okay~"

I packed up all my luggage and laid down on the bed in a room that felt empty compared to the daytime.

Close your eyes and look at the ceiling.

Actually, you don't need to sleep.

This is a game world, and I am a player.

There is a system in place where if you blink once, time disappears, and it is morning.

But today I had a good time.

After moving your body in a good mood, you can wake up more refreshed in the morning by sleeping rather than spending the night.

I slowly fell into sleep, puffing out my chest in anticipation of what would happen in the next city.

...

The next morning.

After a quick meal served in the morning at the hotel, the first thing we did was check out the carriages that regularly travel around the city.

"Even to the next city. The fastest carriage is at noon. However, this carriage may be a little narrow, is that okay?"

"Is it narrow? Are there a lot of people?"

"Yes. Strangely enough, the number of people going to the next city has increased. It wasn't usually this crowded. "If you are going for travel purposes, it might not be a good time."

Those were the broker's words.

The carriage might be too narrow... The broker apologized and said he would reduce the fare a little, but since it was really only a small amount, he said he would think again and left the carriage brokerage office.

"What are you going to do now? "Weren't you planning on riding a carriage?"

"They said they would give a discount on the price, and I don't think it would have been bad if I had paid the same price. Follow me. "Let me tell you one thing."

"What?"

"What to do when you are wondering whether to ride a carriage or accept a request."

I took Flora to the adventurer's guild.

The Adventurer's Guild is especially crowded in the morning.

Requests that the client asks the guild for are posted on the bulletin board all at once the next morning, so it is crowded with adventurers trying to receive even better requests.

"There are so many people!"

"Yes? There are a lot of people in the morning. Let's go over there. Because the request we need to see is over there."

The Adventurer's Guild did not collect fees on a daily basis, so there was at least a classification for requests.

The place we are going to visit is the bulletin board where escort requests are posted.

There were many requests on the bulletin board asking me to escort a certain master or to escort a certain precious person, but those were out of my interest.

What you need to look for is the request above.

"Ruler. Flora, I will teach you how to use escort requests when moving around the city."

"Oh~"

When I tell him how to use the request, his eyes light up.

It seems like a cliché for a well-bred child to admire an adventurer.

"First, look for the top escort request among these."

"Top, escort... Found. Gather over there."

"Okay. Similar types of requests are clustered together on the same bulletin board, so it's good to refer to them. Now, among them, choose only the ones whose destination is the next city."

"The city next door... Next city... But Soira."

"Huh?"

"What was the name of the city next door?"

"Uh... "Didn't I tell you?"

"I didn't do it."

"Zercier. It's the city of Zelsia. By the way, this city is Brezen, so remember it if you want to come back later."

"Zercier... Bresen... Good. "I remembered."

"Then look for the request again."

"If you would... "It's over there."

"There are three? There are surprisingly many."

"What should I do now?"

"There are three, so you can take a closer look. First, just find out the departure time and pay."

"Uh. "There is no ship departing today?"

After hearing that, I also checked the request, but the earliest departure time for the request was tomorrow.

"What a waste. "If I had to go today, I would take the request and go there if possible, even if the pay wasn't very good."

"The quick request leaves tomorrow? "Can't you wait a day?"

"That's right. If we didn't have money, it would have been a good idea to wait a day or so and decide to do another request on the same day. But it's not like we don't have money, right? "It's more of a waste to wait."

"I see... "Then are we finished looking into requests?"

"Okay. "There are no requests with departure times that match ours, so this is the end."

"What if something leaves today?"

"If that's the case, find out the remuneration and see if it's a trustworthy top... There must have been more things to do, right?" Seaʀᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"It's not easy even for adventurers... "

"What. That's because I take care of it very meticulously. There is usually no major problem even if you receive a rough request, but very occasionally you can get involved in troublesome matters. It's a good idea for you to find out as much as possible."

"I don't know. Okay."

"Then it was decided to take a carriage this time. Let's go catch the carriage again."

"Do I have to go again?"

"Don't make that face. "After making a reservation, let's go eat something delicious until noon."

"Good!"

The look of annoyance suddenly brightens when you hear someone telling you to eat snacks.

Oh my. Cute guy.

...

"There are so many people!"

"Flora, I think you said that at the Adventurer's Guild too."

"But it's a lot!"

"That's right... "

A little before noon. When we arrived at the place where the carriage was, we were a little tired of seeing more people than we expected.

All these people riding in a carriage?

That's right. There isn't just one carriage... Is it enough?

Fortunately, I was able to get away somehow.

...

– Rumbling. Rattling.

We won the game of guessing.

My thought, 'If I choose a small carriage, wouldn't I be able to ride more comfortably because there are fewer people wanting to ride it?' Was at least half correct.

Only half.

It was true that there were few people willing to ride. Unlike other large carriages that seemed to have no place to sit, everyone was sitting in this small carriage.

However, the idea that you could ride comfortably was wrong.

The small carriage was not as well-equipped, so it was shaking a lot.

– Rumbling. Rattling.

It's hard to sleep properly when you're shaken like this.

I thought about having a conversation with Flora, but there was no point in talking when everyone was quiet.

It only takes a few tens of minutes to admire nature while looking at the blue sky, but you get tired of it quickly.

I'm bored, so let's observe other people.

It might be a bit rude, but I can't help it because I'm bored.

Next to me is Flora, and on the other side is a man.

Even though there are few people, the carriage itself is small, so people are sitting so close that their thighs are close to each other.

The faint smell of sweat was a little unpleasant, but whatever. Because it's a common thing.

On the other side are a man and a woman who appear to be a couple, and a middle-aged man. And...

There was a suspicious person wearing a robe that covered his entire body and a deep hood.

There are already so many people that the air is warm with body heat, but there is one person who doesn't even think about taking off his hood.

It looked suspicious to anyone.

Are you a wanted person?

No, there is no way a wanted person could confidently get on a carriage through a brokerage house.

I was curious as to why he was hiding his body like that.

– Kwaak.

As I was absentmindedly continuing my thoughts, someone placed a hand on my thigh.

There is no need to say it is someone. It was a man sitting next to me.

To begin with, it is a world where public security is worse than reality. This was a common occurrence.

I was just going to leave it alone because it was more annoying to react.

A hand slowly comes up.

From the thigh further inward, to the groin.

I could have just accepted it since I was bored anyway.

I caught the hand that came under my skirt.

If you were going to commit a molestation in a place like this, you must have been prepared, right? I was curious about the pervert's reaction.

Should you pull away and pretend nothing happened? Or will it come out more confidently?

However, the pervert's response was beyond my imagination.

"... "Stay still."

Stop.

The curse is activated, and the body stops.

Is this guy one of the guys who were in the alley yesterday? Or is he the guy who saw it?

Anyway, I passed. The coercive power of the curse will soon disappear, but give it high marks for using it.

When I let go of my hand, the pervert's hand became bolder and dug deeper under my skirt, finally pointing my finger to the precious spot between my legs.

The rough hand that pushes in knowing that it cannot be stopped.

"Is that enough?"

Unfortunately, I was stopped before I could reach it.

The person wearing the hood on the other side was looking this way.
