203 Lesson 203

"-Ma, well, okay. Whatever it is, you got it down."

Surprised that it has weathered all at once, Atal makes the decision that the result is Aurai for surviving the problem.

The surroundings were completely darkened, and only the moonlight lit the surroundings brightly.

"Right. Yeah, and I knew Master Atal was amazing."

To Caro, who also praises me about Atal here, Atal, who doesn't know what's amazing, was Kyoton.

"What?

"'Cause that black demon you just took down on your own, right? Besides, that metal ball demon could also be defeated thanks to Attal's attack!

Atal was grinning bitterly at Caro, who had made a clenching fist all over his chest and praised him to eat it with his eyes shining.

"Sure, I'm the one who made the stop, but it's also because of the two of you working, right?

Atal says it's not his own power, but now Caro smiles happily at Nico for praising him.

"Well, there's been a lot going on, but this is going to move on. It's late today, and when it's morning, you decide to go first."

By being able to crusade the demons that were blocking the road, we were able to continue on the road ahead.

But Atar, who decided he could write a strain on his tired body to keep going down the night lane, returns to the carriage to prepare to reveal the night when he strokes Caro's head.

Plus Caro and Balkias nodded, and spent the night at the end of the road while keeping watch in turn that day.

Early the next morning, when the Athals were finished getting ready to leave and trying to move on, the adventurers who were eating a stop on this road yesterday returned.

"... dude, what the hell is this all about?

One of the adventurers is surprised that there is no shadow of a rock that should have blocked the road, and asks Atar, who was nearby.

"Oh, we were surprised, too. I don't know why, but that rock just disappeared. I have no idea what caused it..."

Ataru returns so whitefully in the appearance of confusion. We were also going to let it pass because we didn't know why the rock had disappeared.

"Oh yeah...... well, it's a good thing we can keep the road anyway!

Without questioning Atal's words, which advised us yesterday that there should be no danger to ourselves, the adventurer seemed only happy that the road could pass.

The Atals don't know, but they couldn't get out of here and were around here for about three days, so it was bigger to move on than why the rocks were gone.

"Oh, we saved you, too."

Atal also nodded and agreed with his words that the rock could have been rewarded with the benefit of being removed.

"Then we'll let you go first. Bye."

The joyfully laughing adventurer man greeted the Athals with a refreshing greeting and then stopped letting the carriage go.

Then the other adventurers come to follow them before the Ataru. It became busy enough to show the crowd with people who heard from somewhere that this path was ready to be taken.

"... you put him down"

"Ah......"

The Ataru, who somehow waited to avoid the crowd, would be dropping off the adventurers along this path for a while, and in the end it was the last time they left.

But the adventurers who preceded them were crusading against the demons that appeared on the road, so the Ataru could move on without encountering the demons that would hinder them.

From then on, it becomes a leisurely journey while camping. We even enjoyed the view and dined in a small village on the way.

A few days after the battle with those giant rocks, the landscape turned gallery and a vast meadow stretched out on one side in front of the Ataru. The grasshoppers that swayed in the wind grew suddenly, and the meadows as far as they could see gave a sense of lucidity that pushed them through.

"This is... amazing"

"Ha..."

"If you run around, it feels good."

Atal and Caro were honestly touched by the pleasant breeze, and Balkias, with his face out of the carriage, still seemed to nod about wanting to jump out and run around.

"Bal, you can go. It's just that we're going down the road, so we're gonna catch up, okay? And when you see people, don't fight back if they attack you. Run back to us.... Ready?

Balkias nods with his neck shaking vertically over and over again at the words of a gently uttered atar. My tail swells with excitement as if it's still there or not, and I'm shaking with tremendous momentum.

"... uh, that's enough. Go away!

Believing he understood, Atal sent out Balkias. Running out to the meadows to jump momentum from the carriage, Balkias seemed to be all over happy to be able to run around fully.

"Was it good...?

Caro was staring at Balkias' back with a slightly anxious look. She promised Balkias' mother she'd watch him grow up before, and she seems worried about it since something happened.

"Oh, where I was, it was normal to walk dogs every day. In his case, it's Fenrir, but his instinct is to want to run around. If you don't let him play a little bit freely, he'll be stressed out."

"I see."

Caro breathes as relieved to hear why, watching Barchias running around with tender eyes.

The original worry is, can I leave Balkias alone? That was the thing, but it looks like Atal decided to think it would be okay because he gave permission. Not Balkias, but as a result of trusting Atar, he stopped caring.

"Well, perhaps if we go on here for a while we should get to the kingdom of the Beastman..."

"... but? Could it be something that bothers you?

Atal tone, and Caro asks questions, mindful of the absence of even a facial expression.

"Oh, a little jinx or a flag... most of the time when we talk about this, we get some kind of trouble going on."

"Flag, is...?

He was Caro, who would have a kyotonic look on his unfamiliar words, but Atal seemed to have a hint of a feeling something was going to happen.

"Dear Atal!

That was the voice of Balkias, who was supposed to be running around the meadows. I was screaming to let you know something.

I sincerely think Atal is here......

"Ugh, did something happen after all...... whoa!

I find myself unintentionally surprised when Atar looks back at Balkias by putting away the carriage he was going on.

"Ba, Mr. Bal! Duh, what's wrong!?

That's the same with Caro.

Balkias, the two of them looking back, was covered in blood.

'Uh... I was running around, there was a demon, and I thought I'd leave you alone, but there were signs of people with me, so I helped that...'

Balkias' back, anxiously describing the situation as if he were angry at the two impending expressions, lay a beastly child in a neat manner.

"Is Bal not injured?

Balkias nods, surprised for a moment, at the atar that asks with a serious look while activating the demonic eye.

"Ugh, yeah, I'm fine! It's like this kid and his demon blood are probably on my body... can this kid help me...?

To a worrying Balkias question, Atal immediately decided to get off the carriage to check on the child.

"Breathing is... calm. There's nothing big about the wound either, probably fine, I think."

I see it all the time using both this one and the Devil's Eye, but it just seemed like the kid was in deep sleep with all the blood. Atal lifts gently when he makes sure the child is calm. It wasn't an issue in this situation as much as blood.

"If it's Bal's back, it'll vibrate directly, so let's move it to the carriage. You should see a doctor when you get to the city."

Caro lays a futon on the carriage while Atal looks at the child, where he can lay the child. Then Caro moved to make sure the child and Balkias were cleaner by magic and so on, and Balkias, who was cleaner, lay down by the child and watched how things were going.

I hope this blood-soaked kid doesn't become a source of trouble - Atal magically cleansed the blood on him and held his reins, thinking so.
