Chapter 331: To the Rockford Earldom once more

Tsubaki cheerily pulled the sturdy looking carriage. Recently she’s had very few chances to give people rides or pull the carriage, so she was in a very good mood.

When Tsubaki leisurely ran along the highway, the travelling adventurers and merchants were startled at the sight of her exposed physique.

That couldn’t be helped. Reaching the evolution that was capable of telepathic communication, her size made war horses and Demon Horses look like ponies despite not changing in size. That large physique was covered in tough dragon scales which made it difficult for swords and magic to even leave superficial scratches on it, and the horn protruding from her forehead grew sharper and stronger, so much so that it could cut through steel like it was candy. A figure that intimidated its spectators.

The carriage drawn by Tsubaki who had evolved into a Great Dragon Horse, a monster that had no written record in the literature of the Elven nation Yggurle Kingdom, and the Demon Horse drawn carriage of Margrave Volton which ran behind ours headed eastward along the highway, directly to the Rockford Earldom.Finnd new chapters on nove/lbin(.)com

「Tsubaki looks really happy, right Master?」

「Yeah. We weren’t able to bring Tsubaki with us to the Forest of Death after all. She must be happy to be out with everyone after a long time.」

『That was because the Forest of Death was impossible with my body.』

Kaede sat on Tsubaki’s back, which could be said to be her special seat. I was sitting in the driver’s seat, but I left the maneuvering to Tsubaki.

As we had to match Margrave Volton’s carriage speed, it would still take three days at the earliest to reach the Rockford Earldom. Normally as a noble, Margrave Volton would stop by and spend money at each village and town, but because we were travelling the maximum distance possible each day, it was necessary to camp out.

「Iruma-dono, that Dragon Horse...... it looks completely different but......」

While the escorting knight, maids, and servants hurriedly put up tents and prepared meals, Margrave Volton observed Tsubaki from a distance and asked if she was different from his memory.

Although I had already experienced war, I don’t want to go hunting for thieves. Perhaps because it is a world with statuses, even without a “Mind” entry in status, mental fortitude might grow stronger when one’s level rises. If that’s the case, then it’s a bit scary......

Maria and Marnie worked together with the chef of Margrave Volton’s household, and they laid out food that were unthinkable in a camp.

Margrave Volton spent the night in the tent guarded by the knights, and us in our space-expanded carriage.

We were exempt from taking a turn at guard duty, but in reality, Kaede’s thread boundary was strung up all over in case monsters or thieves do approach.

Departing early in the morning the next day, we arrived at the Rockford Earldom’s capital before the sun sank on the third day.

We headed straight for the Feudal Lord’s mansion.

Because of preliminary announcements from the knights, standing in front of the feudal lord’s mansion was Earl Rockford himself. Beside him was Madam Rose, and even the now grown up Rod-kun.

Perhaps because he had been informed beforehand by Margrave Volton about obtaining the Soma, the expressions on the faces of the Rockfords were of expectations and unease.

Following Margrave Volton’s carriage, we parked at the waiting area near the main entrance of the mansion.

After brief greetings with Earl Rockford and his family, we immediately rushed to Miss Emilia.
