3 Lesson three.

"I'm sorry!

From the point of view of her identity, the sight of a woman in that capacity suddenly grounded was enough to confuse Atal.

"Uh, no, I don't know, what's going on?"

Troubled Atal with a puffy cheek sent his gaze to the one with whom he bowed his head next to the woman.

"Please forgive the lady for her sincere apologies, just my neck!

But he showed more dust than a woman, and rubbed his forehead against the ground.

"Uh, I can't help it anymore! Keep your heads up, both of you!

I didn't think the story would go on like this. Atal yells at the two of them.

"Yes!

"Also, sorry!

The two had their own reactions, but rushed to raise their heads at the same time. The look on the faces of the two men, said but raised as they were, was full of apologies.

"I was being chased by demons, and anyone who wakes up and doesn't know a man nearby will be confused. Besides, maybe the two of you are hitting somewhere on the sidelines of the carriage earlier. That's why I don't care about what I just did."

With a slightly angry look Atal affirmed so. Because I could feel free to say it in a strong tone to someone who was in danger, but still honestly I get in trouble if they continue to apologize with more stubbornness.

"But..."

"But..."

"But maybe! I'm done talking about that!

Still, it was two people trying to keep apologizing, but Atal, the benefactor of life, said so strongly that he reluctantly decided to grab the words of the apology.

"So, what the hell is going on? As far as you're concerned, you're this young lady, right? And yet, isn't it dangerous to travel in a carriage without even putting on an escort?

Unlike a strong tone earlier, they dropped their shoulders with a dark expression on a gentle atal question. There seemed to be something going on with them.

"Actually..."

The story told by the two mouths was tragic.

She is the daughter of a nobleman and her name is Arshna. He said there were a few escort adventurers when he left the city where he was staying to go back to his parents' house. Their strength was certain, and they had as much power as they could defeat if they were demons like they were chasing a carriage.

But on the journey, the adventurer betrayed the two of them. To be precise, it was a setup from the beginning. The adventurers, at the hands of Arshna's uncle, took her hostage and thought of taking wealth and glory from her father.

"Well, you even found that out."

Atal was impressed with getting that much information. Because it did not appear from the earlier correspondence with the demons that your man or Arshna had that much strength.

"Yes, the man from Adventurer's Leader didn't even listen to me, but he did."

Arshna was grinning her teeth, remembering with regret the face of that adventurer and the face of her uncle.

"And I managed to escape with an adventurer gap... as you can see the result"

"If you notice, the demons chase you, and you fall every carriage without escaping. You mean I ran there..."

Atar speaks of the continuation of the word of your Lord. The two nodded powerlessly at Atal's words as they dropped their shoulders.

"... I'm Atal, a traveler. I'm not familiar with this neighborhood, and I don't even know which way there is a city. So why don't you take me with you to the city? Of course I'll take care of the escort in the meantime."

Atal thought it would be better to head with the local, aristocratic daughter, who would also have power, than to head to the city by herself, avoiding useless trouble.

"Oh, that's so helpful here too! Let's go both ways!

Arshna responds instantly that she can't be rude and let go of Atal in a situation where she hasn't even been thankful. The one to whom she had been sent her gaze had also snorted many times in haste.

"Well, that's a deal."

Atal was just satisfied to be able to accompany him because his purpose was to head to the city.

"Geel, let me take you home and see your father."

"Understood."

They were talking about some future developments, but Atal thought the city in this world would be looking forward to it too.

"Well, I'm on the carriage, so call me if you need anything."

Even as they marvel at the atar on the front of the carriage, Arshna and Geir get in the carriage and head to the city where her parents are.

There were no demons coming close to the carriage on that road and we were able to make a peaceful journey...... Arshna thought.

But the truth is that all the demons that were about to strike the carriage had been defeated by Ataru before they approached. The power dropped, but the two carriages were unaware because they were attacking by turning on the silencing feature. As for Atal, I am happy that BP made money while on the ride.

"Dear Atal! You have arrived in my hometown!

She was reassured from the bottom of her heart by the sight of the city and seemed more tense.

"This is the city..."

Atar, down from his front, looks up at the city. Surrounded by walls, the city had such an atmosphere as a fortified city.

"Surprised? This is one of the biggest cities around here, and my father is giving it to me."

I had heard stories on the road about her father being the lord of this city. But Atar, who didn't think it was such a big city, just looked at the walls and the huge gates. It could have been lucky for him to have helped the daughter of the Lord of the Big City so unexpectedly.

"Welcome home, Master Arshna!

A guard who was near the entrance to the gate smiled and spoke to Arshna, who was in the carriage.

"Yes, I'm back now"

Arshna replies with a smile, but as soon as she saw the guard's expression on the carriage, she noticed it was turning into something suspicious.

"... anything, was there?

If you look closely, there is a man with no qualities, and the carriage is dirty and scratched by the way. The guard who saw it thought something must have happened. Another guard who felt something was wrong with this guard also comes nearby.

"There was a lot going on, and it wasn't quite a smooth and full sail trip. We were attacked by demons along the way and the carriage fell over, but with the help of Atal here, we managed to survive safely."

When Arshna introduces him to Atal and at first he thinks he's a suspicious man sitting in a weird place, but the guard makes a strange face when the man hears that she has been helped.

"This one... Thank you for helping Master Arshna where she is in danger"

"Thank you"

The guards who come later also bow their heads. I could also see from this view how she was admired as the daughter of the lord.

"I don't know... you were really the daughter of the lord of this city. I felt it when I got here."

Atal remembers what it was like when he met him, feeling smudged and mouthing his thoughts as he wished. Arshna and Geel had to laugh bitterly when I remembered the first time I had a conversation with him.

While being dropped off by the guards, the three were to head to the Lords' Hall. Atal was not on the front this time, but in the carriage.
