72 Lesson 72

Atar had taken the reins on the road since he left the city.

Expected to be a long journey from the journey I asked Francilia, Atal offered to think that Caro would be in trouble when something happened to only take charge of you.

Instead, Caro will be in charge of the demon he discovers on the road.

Until now, Atal had ridden over the front of the carriage, shooting out distant enemies with bullets, but now Caro defeats them with the magic he remembers.

Exactly. I can't attack as long as Atal, but it was still enough for magic practice.

"Caro really got better at magic too..."

Atal squeaks like a parent watching my child grow up. By that time, the number of demons that Caro had defeated had been long enough to go into double digits.

"I think learning magic has widened the range of strategies!

Coming back happy, Caro didn't defeat just magic, he didn't fight just weapons, and cleverly he was fighting those two well together.

"Sounds like you're also doing well to blind yourself to magic or let it go and slash you from another direction. I think it's a good way to fight."

Atal, smiling gently, praises Caro's way of fighting.

Attacks with weapons alone can only become monotonous, and their opponents read their movements when they get used to it. But now Caro is having trouble reading the movement by adding an accent called magic.

"Thank you very much! I would love to be praised by Master Atal!

That was Caro's candid sentiment. Caro thought Atal's eyes were certain in the fight, and he was happy in that respect because he was willing to admire him for finding himself again. Long ears are shaking with joy.

"I hope I can widen the battle too..."

Saying so, Atal was steering the carriage looking at the list of bullets. In the case of Ataru, having a variety of bullets just because the weapon is a weapon leads to the spread of equals fighting.

"Master Atal feels strong enough..."

Neither the battle against the demons who attacked the city, nor the battle against the Golem, could have been won in the end without Ataru. That was what most of those who took part in those fights thought as well as Caro.

"It may have been enough power to just hit the road before, but that doesn't always last. I think it's a good idea to have your back hand, your back hand, and your back hand."

"I see..."

Atal, who has all that power, is not chronicling to his power, and is searching for the next power, the next way to fight. That had been a huge stimulus for Caro.

"I'll try not to lose to Master Atal, too!

"Hmm? Ooh, ooh. Hang in there?"

Ataru, unable to perceive its heart, stays merely to say such words with his neck tilted.

Since he was on the road while training, the speed of travel was slow and he would be camping in front of the woods before nightfall. It seems that that is an area where the travellers take a break, they already had a forerunner, and they were beginning to prepare for the camp.

"Are you guys gonna camp here too?

The man who spoke first was one of a few. Whether they were a group of merchants and escorts, and the carriage baggage kept nearby could be seen loaded with something like it, but Atar felt somewhat uncomfortable with the atmosphere they had.

"Oh, I'm going to. I bought a map from the city, and it looks like the only place to camp, even if you can take a break from it for a while, is going to be tough."

Atal, who kept a certain distance, replied yes, recalling the map.

"Well, I guess... I just met him and this stuff, but if possible, could you camp away from our camp?

We don't know each other about each other. In addition to being alert to the surroundings when resting nearby in that state, we must be alert to each other the most. It is therefore a suggestion, and Atal knows it, so he nods honestly.

"I know. We'll rest over there, bye."

Originally, Ataru intends to rest at the foot of a large tree, and moves away to you without worrying about the response that made the opponent's vigilant.

"Dear Atal..."

Even though the Atals drink their say and travel honestly, the men watch as they ordain things about the Atals all the time. I felt that gaze. Caro calls his name worryingly, but Atal had nothing to say but shake his neck sideways.

When he reached the foot of the tree, he got off the carriage and removed his gear, so that the horse could also rest.

"Caro, that's their attitude... that sounds natural. I just didn't think they'd send my gaze all the way to the end."

Teki and Atal take the tent out of the magic bag and talk to just Caro as he prepares to rest.

"Yes...... I felt like I was being seen all the time, just like Master Atal. But I was wondering if it would be a little strange to be so vigilant..."

Caro says with a troubled look that something was wrong, but Atal's view was different.

"That's not alarming, maybe you're observing it as prey..."

Do they have the Athals have gold, or gold eyes? Isn't that what you're exploring? That was Atal's anticipation. The first discomfort I felt was because I felt like I had an atmosphere I was used to fighting from them for being a merchant.

"I see... if you say so, it could have been a sharp gaze"

In response to Atal's words, Caro remembers the men again. It seemed like she had a presence that drew a line with the merchants she'd seen before.

"Well, maybe I'm just too worried... just in case."

When he finishes installing the tent for the break, Atar traps somewhat.

"That's right. And then you might want to speak up first, or you might want to have a tag."

Atal nods at Caro's suggestion that he would avoid an extra collision if he gave an explanation than he knows what the facts are.

"... will you speak up first? That way, you might not come even if you're up to something."

Atal leaves only the finish of the trap and heads to the earlier men's camp.

"Will Caro wait here? Not if they're after my luggage or my carriage in the gap I'm over there."

"Okay, take care."

Since Atal can't be so easy to get hit, Caro, who nodded in two replies, continues to prepare for the camp, paying attention to the signs around him.
