181 Episode 182 Mina, Stepping on the Land of the East

◆ Mina ◆

"Well, I wonder what's going on."

Having rescued a pirate who had fallen into the sea, I managed to reach the eastern coast through a storm.

But it seems to have been flushed quite a bit, and I don't see the ship we came aboard.

"Why don't we just go for Port Town? We were aiming for the harbor."

A helpful pirate, peculiarly, proposes a policy for the future.

"Right. Then let's go for a nearby port town."

First, flying magic takes you up into the air, confirming the surrounding geography.

Looking around, what you see is a giant mountain of examples.

And the streets passing near the coast caught my eye.

"I saw a street over there. Let's go."

Down on the ground I direct the pirates in the direction they are going to take.

"No, flying magic is really amazing. But then why don't we just go out of our way and fly through this place?

"You can't fly."

I could have done that by myself.

"Then I'll grab it... Oh, no, it's nothing"

Shut up the pirates who tried to say stupid things with their gaze, and we head down the street through the woods.

"In the meantime, we were travelers thrown out of the ship by storm, and you were a sailor on that ship, but now I'm gonna make sure you're my escort."

"Why are you making it such a hassle setting again?

You forgot who you are.

You're a pirate.

"Oops, I was."

You thought you were told, and the pirate shouted his head that he was so rude.

"Hey, it's time to go down the street...... what?

It was then. I heard some kind of metal bump from the streets.

……

When we look at each other, we take a peek at the streets from among the trees.

Then across the road, I saw someone waving a sword and fighting.

"Looks like someone's fighting."

It was two young men and multiple men fighting.

The downside is the pair, and it sounds like the older guy is protecting the younger boy.

Is the boy a little younger than me or the gyros?

"Let's just see how it goes. If it does suck, in a direction that doesn't involve it."

"Sort of."

Seems thin, but I'm the only one who can fight this pirate because he doesn't have a weapon because he was thrown out into the sea in the middle of a storm.

I just don't know how to get into trouble in this situation.

"Don't kill the kid! But I don't mind losing my hands and legs as long as I live!

"Come on, stay away from the young man, Shiro!

Apparently, if you're attacking a lot of people, you're after that boy.

Could it be a kidnapper for ransom or use it as a hostage?

"Well, obviously it's a mess."

There are definitely troublesome people behind us.

"Sort of. Do you want to spend some time hiding?

"Hey."

Even so, it's subtly bad aftertaste to abandon people in this situation where they're about to be kidnapped.

But it's also true that I don't want to get involved.

If you're a gyro at a time like this, think about it. You'll be there shortly to help.

Maybe Norb will try to help too.

Megri will leave you alone if it won't be money, will she?

I... what am I supposed to do?

"Young! I'll buy you some time here! You run away!

"Say stupid! Can you leave the Lord and run away?

If I was worried about that, the pair wouldn't run away. I started asking questions.

"Don't say anything sweet! Your shoulders bear the lives of the people of the Empire of Tianfeng!

"Come on!"

The man in the escort reprimands me, and the boy clogs the words.

"Come on, don't go!

"... sorry!

A determined boy rushes in our hidden direction.

"You're coming this way"

"They're coming."

If he walks past us like this, the raiders will go after him, so we can safely go in the other direction.

In that case, these two will be abandoned...

"Missed! Aim for your legs!

And so the raider fired a bow at the boy.

"How about it! Young!

"Come on!"

A boy flies to the side and flies an arrow...

"Caaahhh!?"

"Wow!?"

What a coincidence. The boy with the arrow jumped into our hidden bush.

Naturally, we could not have been avoided kneeling in and hiding, and the boys would push us down.

"No more sudden poking around!

"S, sman!?"

"It's not the other way around, Mr. Tsubaki!

"Yeah? What...?

When I saw it, the escorts and the raiders were looking at us.

"... ah"

Shit, you found out. Huh!

This is a pretty nasty situation!

"Also, erase every witness!

The raiders, who understood the situation, again set an arrow toward us.

"Do it."

Uh, I'm totally involved.

That doesn't taste good.

"Yes, please! Run, lords!

You stay covered in me, and a boy tells you to run.

"Well, you worry about us in this situation."

I love it when you worry about other people even though you're in danger.

It's like someone else.

But... if you're going to get caught up in the same thing, that kind of favorite is still better, right?

"Um, why do you seem so happy?

"Ugh."

Ignoring the pirate's scratch, I set up a cane.

"Fine. I got involved anyway. This is on the edge of something, too."

"Hey, mister, get out of here..."

The pirates are in a panic, but you can't run away in this situation.

"Do it!

An arrow is unleashed against us all at once.

But I didn't panic and told the boy.

"Just for a second, I'll help you"

Just unleash the magic you've already built.

"Flameburst!"

They intercept the arrows unleashed by the curtain of fire that appeared before us and attack the raiders who unleashed the arrows as they were.

"" "Wow!!" "

Raiders in flames scream and roll around.

"Hey, what powerful magic!?"

The boy, who remains covered in me, rounds his eyes and gives a surprise voice.

Heh, you feel a little good.

"Come on, retreat! Retreat!"

The surviving raiders flee in a panic.

"Oh, the chaser has escaped..."

"That's fine, but maybe it's time for you to step aside."

I complain to the boy who was staring at the runaway chaser, asking him to step aside quickly.

"Huh? Oh, I'm sorry!

A boy who finally remembers the situation hurries up and backs off.

Is it good to be a little bit complacent that his face is red?

"Phew."

"Young! Are you safe?!?"

At the same time I get up, a man from the escort rushes over.

"Uhm, it doesn't matter"

"Thank you again, my exotic daughter. The rest of your name is Snow... call me Yuki. This is Harumi."

"Thank you very much for helping our young people."

When the boy named Lucky says thank you, the escort, called Heather Shen, bows his head deeply.

Though, you still seem wary.

Hmm, and this boy, around re-saying his name, you obviously stink of a pseudonym.

But pursuing it here won't be too busy, so it's good to leave it alone.

"Mister, could this boy be pseudonymous Gohoo"

"I won't say anything extra!

Shut up with an elbow shot at a pirate who tried to stick his neck in trouble.

"What's up?

"It's nothing. Looks a little tired."

When I paid the soil attached to my clothes, I greeted him with privilege once again.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Mina."

"I'm gobbling. Come on."

Oh, this pirate. That's the name.

"Goven on Mina. Thank you again. I would like to invite you to the Mansion for a welcome banquet, but hatred and the rest of it won't come true."

Obviously what they were after. Hey.

"Don't worry about it."

"I don't think so. You can't lose courtesy of the samurai of Heavenly Peak, the benefactor."

Hmm, looks like the kid from a Knights official in this country?

"There's a situation where you can't thank me, right? Then I think it would be a good idea if we decided we didn't see each other and split up?

Yeah, I did help, but I've never gone any deeper.

Otherwise, you'd be like Rex and Gyro.

"Well, I'd like to ask your lords to escort me."

"Escort?"

What are you talking about all of a sudden?

You don't have any money, do you?

"Young, what!?"

Mr. Tsing-Shen of the case stops you from being fortunate.

"Heather, would you have seen the strength of these men? We alone can't help if the chaser strikes us again. Don't you think it would be better if we had escorts to your uncle's ruling territory?

"It's..."

Come on, you can't just say that there.

"No, no, I hope you don't ignore our convenience. We have to get to Port Town to rendezvous with our people, so we don't have time to escort you."

Explaining this situation and saying no, Yuki smiles for some reason.

"Well, that's convenient. The rest of you were going to ask your lords to escort you to the port of Omitsu."

"Huh? Really?

I'm a little surprised by the coincidence that the destination was the same.

"Um, if we get there, we can ask our uncle to rule the town for help. He said he could thank them too."

"Uncle, you can count on me."

Well, what's the matter?

Obviously, it's troublesome, and I just want to leave, regardless, but it's troublesome that the destination is the same.

Besides, the fact that the lord of the town is going to turn down his uncle here also means that he refused noble favors.

I don't want to buy local aristocratic disharmony, but assuming it's aristocratic, your enemies have the possibility of being aristocratic, too.

Choosing which one is troublesome.

"Monsieur, monsieur."

"What?"

When I was worried, Goven whispered to me.

"Let's take it from here. It's the same place to go anyway, and I might see some of my friends sometime. Then you'd be better off selling this kid a favor, considering you're staying longer."

Um, you seem blinded at first glance at the gratuity, but no, I'm actually blinded, but you didn't say the wrong thing.

Obviously you're in trouble, but if you have a nobleman on your side, is that in our interest?

"... ok. We should escort you to that port town."

"Oh, will you take it!

I don't want to carry any more troubles in this exotic situation where no one else is there.

Still, you need money, and is it true that you should have a person with a land survey on your side?

"Nice to see you again, Lucky."

I dare offer my hand as I summon fortune.

They seem aristocratic, but it's like saying that if you talk badly about this situation, you'll have prey here in the chase.

"Huh!? Uhm! Nice to meet you, Mina!

Then what makes you happy, Kouki takes my hand in a strangely cowardly way.

"Come on! We're going to the port town of Omitsu!

"Yes, sir."

Thus, when I arrived at the Empire of Tianfeng, I became involved with strange aristocrats instead of my companions.
