It was the next day after Shinji’s night of fun with the spirits.
Early in the morning, Alvin, the other members of , Emily, and Akane left the party house and went to the carriage waiting area.
”Let’s gooo! It’s nice to have a long vacation!”
”I’m a little worried about leaving the party house......”
”It’ll be fine. I’ve hired a security guard to watch over the place”
”I know, but......”
In contrast to the excited Emily, Akane was anxious. She seemed to be worried about the party house because she had become so used to being a maid.
Even though she knew Shinji had arranged for a replacement security guard, she couldn’t help but be concerned.
”It’s okay. We’re going on a trip, so let’s enjoy it!”
”Yeah....... I’ve never been to , so I’m looking forward to it”
Akane’s expression brightened as she began to talk with Renka.
The carriage they were riding in this time was a private one, but they were not alone.
Several carriages formed a convoy, consisting of passenger carriages and merchants’ carriages. An escort is also hired to protect the convoy, and by acting in a group, the cost of the escort can be reduced from the cost of a single person.
Although it was a trip, they still brought their own equipment, but they were planning to enjoy the trip purely by not fighting as guests along the way.
While Alvin and the others were loading their luggage into the carriage they had reserved, they were approached by someone.
”......Senpai?”
”Shinji-san ♪”
It was a voice that Shinji knew well.
All four of them were dressed in adventurer’s gear and didn’t look like they were going out for fun like Shinji and the others.
”Good morning Iris, Lila, Lili and Lilu, are you here to escort the carriage?”
”......Yes, desu. .......But Senpai and the others......?”
”Iris-chan!”
Milis hugged Iris from the side. Alvin followed Milis and Shinji watched as Alvin and Lila greeted each other and continued their conversation.
”We’re traveling. There’s a lot going on in . So, we thought we’d take a trip together”
”......I’m jealous, desu. ......But when we heard about Senpai’s trip to Oeste, we decided to come...... and try it out once, desu. ......Also, it seems that everyone has never been there before, so we decided to go there while...... escorting, desu”
”Iris-chan and her friends will protect you, so you don’t have to worry~ ♪”
”......Milis-chan, let me go......”
”Nope, I don’t want to do that,” said Milis, as she and Iris joked around. Shinji smiled bitterly and turned to Lila and the others.
In the carriage, the six of them were playing cards to see who would win. Alvin, who was the last place, puts one hand in the box labeled and pulls out a piece of paper at random.
It said on it.
This kind of punishment is something that the more time spent on it, the higher the excitement. Therefore, Alvin acted on a hunch.
He folded his hands and positioned himself with his elbows on the desk. Alvin poses as if he is sitting in a chair with his eyes sharp.
”Welcome...... adventurers. How do you like my impersonation of the...... Branch Chief?”
”Well, it’s not powerful enough”
”Not bad at all, huh?”
”Alvin, you’re not stern enough!”
”Goddamn it!”
They all gave their opinions, but not very positive ones, much to Alvin’s frustration. Anyway, the punishment game was over and they went back to the game.
”Isn’t Shinji the only one who hasn’t lost yet?”
”You can play cards, chess, Othello...... and almost any other game without a hitch, don’t you, Shinji-san?”
Alvin and Milis turned their attention to Shinji.
Alvin has been punished three times, while Milis has been punished twice.
”Shouldn’t you be punished at least once?”
”Yeah! I’d like to see Shinji get punished!”
Renka and Emily agree to it.
”No, I don’t want it......”
”It’s hard, Shinji-san”
Akane, who had already been punished twice, was not going to help.
Shinji let out a big sigh.
