264 Chapter 18-6 Runaway of Unicorn

Half a month after the wedding. Me and Primera... and the Otori family were headed for the Duke of Sanga.

After all, because it was my honeymoon with Primera, I decided to do the dishes and other things besides us on the way.

Move, move, move! The honeymoon's street!Fly, Amur! "

"Lyden, go!"

Try your best, Silomar! I'm losing to Solomon! "

Because of the fish, tiger and old man riding in such a good condition, it was very difficult because I had to do a little carriage maintenance.By the way, do you remember being pissed off by playing on slopes and curves before, this time running off to a flat, empty road?

I want you to be a little bit more generous, but thanks to the improvement of the carriage, there was no particular damage inside, so if you let others do it without bothering you,

Ah...

In the middle of several runs, "Bakki!The sound rang, the hardware connecting Lyden and the carriage broke, and the carriage rolled and only Lyden ran away.Fortunately, only the grandpa and Aura who were outside (Jeanne was blown away by the recoil of the carriage rolling over) suffered damage, and Aura, the complete victim, suffered a mild illness as the slurry quickly replaced the cushion.The grandpa outside was thrown out to the grass, but he was not seriously injured and deserved it. During the carriage repair, they sat down on the soil, and Namitaro rolled it up and dried it in the sunny place.Namitaro will be able to escape easily, but in that case, he will be very quiet because he threatened to feed me "Tachemikazuchi".Lyden came back to me long enough.When I came back, my whole body was quite dirty, so Jeanne and Aura are washing it now.

"Primera, keep an eye on Grandpa so he doesn't try to relax."

"Yes, I understand."

Primela, who always took a reluctant attitude towards her grandfather, was watching both of them with stricter eyes than usual about the accident earlier.

"Hmm... after all, it feels like I said it was a malfunction caused by metal fatigue."

I realized when I looked lightly that the broken part wasn't made of wood, so I thought metal fatigue was the most likely.

Grandpa and Amur who heard me murmuring raised their faces and said, "Well, runaway is probably the main cause of metal fatigue." They looked down.

"With this much, we'll be able to run on first aid....."

However, it will take some time to make first aid, so it's still early, but it would be better to prepare camp near here today.

"Primera, there were no villages or rivers around here, right?"

"Yes, this area is just a few hours away from the river and the village, so I think it will take a few hours to walk to either direction."

So I thought we'd all go into the dimension bag and ask Grandpa to fly to the river or village, but I don't think it would be necessary to travel by carriage from the beginning, so I should give up my travel today.Besides, I said (although it is artificial) that the trouble can also be said to be the flavor of the journey, and the journey schedule is affordable because it was so smooth.

"Primera, I'm trying to make that hill a campground today, but is there anything I should be aware of around here?"

"No, I don't think so.I think some creatures called poisonous insects and snakes have reported the appearance of dangerous monsters.At best, I think there was a wolf-like beast. "

Then it was easy to deal with, so I decided to camp on a little higher hill.

"I'm going to get ready, so Primera won't be watching Grandpa and Amur in the meantime.Jeanne, Aura, I'm setting the ground, so I asked you to prepare. "

Grandpa and Amur looked spicy knowing the pain was still going on.When I arrived here, Primera looked at me with a sympathetic look and asked me not to forgive them... It was very likely that they were acting and asking me to forgive them from Primera, so I stopped my spicy face without dinner if I didn't get close to them and stop acting.I took the call because I didn't have confirmation, but it still seemed to be the right answer.

All the grass on the hill was high enough to hide my knees, so I mowed it from the roots with an "air cutter" and burned the rest with fire magic.Afterwards, if you use earth magic to touch the ground, the leveling is over.Normally, the only thing I could do was use earth magic to mock the ground, but I was careful because Primera said that there was also poison.

Now that the ground was finished, I called Jeanne and told Primera to release the grandpa.However, Grandpa and Amur told him to leave his feet numb and unable to move, and then to recover and moisturize the dried Namitaro.

"I'll fix it a little further away, so you can do whatever you want when you're free.But just in case, you should always be able to move. "

I instructed Jeanne and Aura to remove the hardware from the broken part of the carriage and start the first aid.

If you stick a reinforcing iron plate on the broken part with heat and tap it, you'll be able to run as far as you can possibly repair it in earnest.If there's nothing you can repair, repeat the worst first aid and move to the Duke of Sanga's Mansion.However, in that case, the runaway is of course possible, but in consideration of the safety aspects, it must be moved slower than usual.As a result, we may arrive slightly later than planned, but it will still be faster than a regular carriage.You can think of it as a honeymoon and enjoy a relaxing trip.

"Mr. Tenma, it's a little early, but he's ready to eat."

Primera came to call me when it was almost over.I said that I would go in a little while and looked at the sky, but the sun had not set yet.Given the faster sunset times seasonally, it would certainly be a little early.However, it is not unusual to have faster meals at camp because there is night watching... but on this trip, Primera and I will not participate in night watching, so we may get hungry at night.

With that in mind, I checked the area where the first aid was taken was not greatly distorted, and then cooled it with water magic and put it in the magic bag.All we have to do is actually install it and see if there are any defects.

I'm sorry I kept you waiting.

Everyone was waiting for dinner until I came, so I apologized lightly and sat in the place that was open for me (next to Primera).

"Here you go... before grandpa, Amur, Namitaro, you can make it normal."

Before the meal, he called out to the grandpas who were seated (Namitaro remained tied by rope).The grandpa who heard it returned to the usual atmosphere... but it would also be an act.Because I started sitting on my knees a little before I came, and above all, Namitaro's rope is loose.

When I pointed it out, I didn't do it because it seemed like the start time of the meal would increase, but I think perhaps I am reflecting, and I don't have to tell you because Primera who was asking for surveillance gave me permission.

After the meal, Grandpa in charge of the morning watch and Aura spent as much time as they liked, and in the evening Primera and I got up as late as possible to help with the watch.After all, Amur and Jeanne fell asleep before they took a rest, but Amur and Jeanne weren't the only ones who helped when they were grandpas.Also, I slept with Primera almost at the same time, but the bed is separated between men and women, so it is not the same futon.

"Grandpa, Aura, I'm going to take turns, so you can go to sleep."

The next day, long before sunrise, I woke up and called out to Aura and my grandfather, who was out watching.

I woke up sooner than usual, but I didn't pay attention to the two of them. I didn't use my physical strength or sleep much on this trip, so I woke up naturally sooner.

Um, don't hesitate to let me rest.

"Thank you... thank you ~"

Grandpa seemed to still have room, but Aura seemed to be tighter, so he went into the carriage immediately.If Grandpa was reluctant there, Aura would have had to be reluctant, so she must have been careful.

"Namitaro... I don't know if he's asleep or awake as usual... maybe he's dead, so let's check it out."

The rest area during the Namitaro camp is a barrage made just before the journey. It is a huge 3 m wide by 4 m deep, but the size of Namitaro makes it impossible to swim around.Therefore, I always stand still when I rest in a gun, but I don't know if I'm awake or asleep because there's not much movement at all.Incidentally, when you try to wash your hands with the water of a grenade, Namitaro says, "Can you sleep in a smoke-filled room?"as angry as the blazing fire.It was Aura, Siroumar, and Solomon who were angry.

"I'd love to drop some food right in front of me... but it's too much trouble finding it, so lightning magic... it's pathetic, so why don't you stop after all!"

With that in mind, looking around lightly, away from the barrel,

Nothing!

And Namitaro jumped out of the barrel.Well, Namitaro is a fish at first, but the delicacy of being dead when I realized that the water didn't suit me, and my body was trembling when I murmured with lightning magic, so I realized that I was falling asleep.So I dared to ignore it and leave.

However, Namitaro seemed dissatisfied, so he approached silently and shoved his hand into the water.

"No burrs! It's too wild. Do it!Sweets are fine! Sweets! "

I panicked. I was told that putting sweets in a barrel might stain the water, but "Smoke is no good, but reward the sweet smell!and so on.Because of this, the syrup and the solomon that heard the word confectionery came up, but instead of making them eat confectionery, I had to help the guards, so it was time for Primera and the others to wake up.

"So far, there seems to be no problem with the first aid.Primera, how long till Lindo arrives? "

"That's right... from around here, I think it's about six days by regular carriage, so I think Lyden will arrive in about three days."

The name 'Lindo' is the name of the town with the largest Duke's residence in the Duke of Sanga.This trip will take you to the Duke's residence in Seyran for about ten days before heading south through Duke territory towards the city of Gungjo and returning to King's Landing on a route through Seygen.The trip is scheduled for about a month, so there shouldn't be snow stopping them.

"I'm not telling you I have nothing to say to Lindo!Well, the temper flag was put up, and it was like a fight a few kilometers from here.Besides, it looks like some of them are coming this way, or maybe they'll get involved. What do we do? "

Namitaro, who was watching the scenery on the roof, came in through the door with a dexterity and made such a report.'What do we do?' is whether we run away or intercept them.To confirm, I also checked the results using "Exploration" and "Appraisal".

"Let's intercept. Depending on how we do it, we can escape, but it looks like we're gonna get a lot of damage after we run.I'm in a struggle... I'm sorry for the attacker, but I'm not going to make it in time, no matter how fast. "

I don't know what happened to the dispute, but I think they're heading this way, and I don't know if it was stopped or abandoned, but the people who were fighting were destroyed during the confirmation.And they're starting to chase the fleeing ones.

"Grandpa! Approximately two kilometers ahead, three" unicorns "are on their way!Looks like you're pretty excited, so you can't avoid a fight if you touch it!I'll sniff the opponent's nose in advance, so be alert in battle! "

"Hmm? Oh, I see! There are Namitaro, and they have more power than usual, so even if they attack us avoiding the temper, we'll be able to handle it."

Grandpa knew I could use Exploration and Appraisal, so he immediately convinced me to prepare for battle even in a situation where the enemy was still completely invisible.

"Running away is total annihilation... no, I barely think I'm alone."

Dozens of seconds after jumping out of the carriage, I saw three unicorns catching up with the fleeing men and kicking them away.They were like merchants, running away from the unicorn in a carriage loaded with luggage, but they were quickly caught up.

She threw away her luggage a little bit after she started running away, but it would be difficult for a normal horse to get away from a unicorn in the first place.Still, if you had thrown your stuff away from the beginning, maybe I'd made it in time before they caught up with you, but there's nothing I can do about it.Poor thing, but you'll have no choice but to resent the lack of luck you've encountered powerful, rare monsters like Unicorn.

"I wish I could tame the unicorn... but I don't think I can do anything about it."

The angry Unicorns are not tired of destroying the carriage and ravaging the merchants on it, and are rushing towards me with a roar.Even though it's still nearly 500 meters away, Taim won't be able to do it with that much hostility.Unfortunately, it will be used as a material.

In general, the unicorn is said to be a monster almost identical to the bicorn, but it felt like it was a little tougher than the bicorn that formed the basis of the riden even when the three of them were combined, so I don't know whether the bicorn was slightly stronger or the three of them in front were weak, but there would be no problem if I fought alone.Even if the reading goes off and it gets worse, it should stick in time until grandpa gets here.

"If you're going straight into it... kurahh!"

Since the three heads were coming together, they were still more than 200 meters away, but they attempted a pre-emptive attack with the "Air Cutter".There's a distance between the boulders so they won't be able to inflict fatal wounds, but it was an attack that I thought would reduce momentum....

"You're lying... it's hardly working."

I expected that the distance would reduce my strength, but hopefully I could roll the leading unicorn?Even if you can't do that, can you shed some blood?I was expecting that, but Unicorn is breaking my expectations and approaching intact.

"Looks like we've lost some speed, but you don't think we can beat the magic with horns, normal."

While I was complaining like that, Unicorn was coming to put me in between us in a few seconds.

"Stonewall!"

On the verge of the Unicorn's attack, I created a wall about a metre tall with earth magic.

Unicorns made the choice to fly and dodge rather than attack the sudden appearance of half-height walls.Well, I suppose you're going to trample me while you're flying, but Unicorn's legs danced in space the next moment he dodged the earth wall, so instead of crushing me, he broke his balance in the air and rolled to the ground.Well, only two of them were able to cut off their legs, so the other one landed safely.However, I saw two of my friends fail to land and stopped moving, so I had Halbert smashed into their necks during that time.

As a matter of fact, this earthen wall was not meant to prevent unicorn attacks.If I want to prevent an attack, I'll create something at least as big as my body can hide.However, in front of the Unicorn's thrust, it will easily be destroyed by a slightly sturdy earthen wall.That's why there's no distance to build a thick wall, and if there's enough distance to build it, you'll be avoided before you hit it.

In other words, this earthen wall was not meant for defense, but for the Unicorn to jump as a stone of attack.

No matter how physically powerful Unicorn is, he is defenseless in the air without the magic of flying the sky, as long as he is a four-legged beast running on the ground without wings.

"The weakness of the horse is the leg.The unicorn is no exception to how thicker and tougher the legs are than the horses. "

I succeeded in disabling two of them early on, but if I let the last one escape here, there is no guarantee that the Unicorn with my grudges will not attack another person, so I must definitely defeat it.However, it felt like it was equivalent to a bicone with three heads, so if I didn't be too careful, I wouldn't have said I'd lose or let go.

Looks like you're safe.So what happened to the victim? "

A few minutes after defeating the last unicorn, the grandpa came.With Grandpa running and Amur and Namitaro waiting on the roof, it would have been fine if the last unicorn had escaped and headed for the carriage.Incidentally, the last Unicorn was completely defenceless when he saw his friends get hit, so he cut off his neck in a defenseless gap.

"I was able to help only one person.I'm still unconscious, but I don't think it's a problem because the big wound is blocked and my pulse is stable... but I don't know why the unicorn attacked me.So from now on, I thought I'd check out the broken carriage, the dumped baggage and the people who were killed. "

I hate to look into the body, but it looks like the adventurer was the first to be killed, and I can't leave the body like this, so we should retrieve it and take it to some Adventurer Guild.

"Grandpa went with me to identify and retrieve the body.Amur and Aura collect the dumped baggage.Primera and Jeanne, keep an eye on this guy.Just be sure to keep your distance because you don't know who it is.Slurrin is the escort of Primera and Jeanne, and Silomar and Solomon are on perimeter alert, and in some cases intercept.Namitaro... take a nap. "

Namitaro can stay with the horses, but on land the horses are faster, so I decided to keep them waiting.

"Hmm, that's terrible. All of them have been crushed.I suppose you've done too much to prevent unicorn epilepsy. "

More than half of the bodies believed to belong to five people were crushed in a mess, as if they had been trampled many times.For this reason, I gave up identifying the person on the spot, recovered only a portion of the body and equipment that retained the relatively prototype, and buried the rest in the soil.

"There may be something in the Magic Bag, but we should hand it over to the Alliance as it is."

Now that the adventurer is finished, Amur called me and my grandfather out loud when I next tried to find the body near the broken carriage.

"Tempura, this."

When he hurried to Amur, he took out something like a white cloth that he found in his discarded luggage.

"This is... unicorn skin.Besides, from the size, it's a pony. "

So those three unicorns were the parents of this pony?

"Yes, those unicorns must have been so angry because the children were killed."

I can't say it's bad to hunt a pony because there's no such thing as killing a unicorn... so I'll say that the adventurer and merchant deserved more than being attacked by the anger.

"In the meantime, shall we collect all the discarded baggage?Because it was abandoned, we have ownership of what we discovered. "

These merchants who were owners are alive and may be claimed to have dropped them when they were attacked, not thrown away, but in that situation, they would certainly have died without me, so they would be ours until ownership became clear.

"Perhaps we should put the Adventurer Alliance in between.Well, they say it's ours in a situation. "

"Hmm! If I hadn't made it, I'd have lost my life instead of my luggage!"

I don't know what the merchant thinks, but it is normal to think that the person who picks up what was abandoned from the adventurer has a right.

"Anyway, only a few of the bodies were recovered, and I have to go to the Adventurers Guild to report this."

After we finished handling the body and the broken carriage, we joined Primera and told them why they were being attacked by a unicorn, who saw a fainting merchant.

"Mr. Tenma, could you put this merchant under house arrest in your dimension bag?"

I thought I'd have to protect them as much as I saved them, at least to the nearest village or city, but honestly, there was a little resistance to getting someone I didn't know on a carriage.So I didn't agree with the idea of getting you into a dimension bag, but I was concerned about the idea of house arrest.

"Actually, there are a few small villages in the direction this merchant came from... I was wondering if he might have been caught in a runaway Unicorn..."

Certainly, based on Unicorn's anger at that time, if I saw someone on the way after him, it wouldn't be strange if he was attacking without telling me.

"Okay, let's put him under house arrest in the form of protection for his dimension bag.You just need to write a letter with water, food and a reason. "

I wrote a letter on the boulder saying, "I am under house arrest because I am suspicious." Because I am a criminal, I wrote to the effect that "I don't know my identity, so I am being quarantined."I think that's all there is to complain about, so I put in a sentence saying that Unicorn was attacked because of you.

"And let's change it to a city closer to where Unicorn came from.If Unicorn was really attacking someone else, it would be easier for the city to get information. "

That's why we changed our destination at Primera's suggestion.The time it took to arrive was the same as before the change, but the distance to the "Rindo", where the Duke's Mansion is located, would have increased slightly... the arrival of the Riden would have been delayed by about three hours.

And after a few hours of traveling and rushing into the City Adventurer Alliance, which arrived just before sundown... Primera's bad feelings led to the immediate handover of the merchant under house arrest to the guards.
