Knowing Levin's mind, we headed carefree to the road, whether we knew it or not.
When we left the forest, the road opened up and we soon saw what looked like a highway.
When I found the road, I thought to myself, "So that's the road?
It was the first time I saw something that wasn't on the mountain after descending.
"Is there a road to Table Mountain?
"No. . I'm the only human being who lives here.
Well.
"There have been animal trails and trails made by Ronin, but I've never seen them paved properly. It's amazing.
"There are cobblestone streets around the royal capital and major cities,
It's amazing . I want to see it.
"Unfortunately, there are no major cities around the northern land we're heading to,
That's a shame. I can't wait to see the village and the city, though.
Walk down the street while having a conversation with .
It's easier to walk than a forest or a mountain.
Wow, I could walk forever on this one.
I say, "It's not safe, Master Will, step back," and Lunamaria warns me, "It's not safe.
There's a carriage passing by.
You're right that it would be unfortunate if you were to be run over by them, so you have to move to the side.
"I guess the carriage has priority down here.
It's supposed to be pedestrian-friendly, but anyone privileged enough to own a carriage would be conceited.
"I see.
It's true that the people in the carriage are hunched over. On the other hand, a farmer who has an ass to carry his harvest on an ass will easily avoid us.
"So many people use the roads.
"The highway is the main artery of the country. It carries people, goods, and all sorts of things.
Look around. There are travelers and merchants. They all have goods. Not only that, but I could imagine that they carried many different feelings on their backs.
Walking together with people from all walks of life, with all kinds of emotions.
It was more interesting than I expected to be in the mountains with my animal friends and human beings, whom I do not know.
There are many things to think about, and travelers walking in pairs or more than one person will have many things to say.
Winter is coming. I want to make some money and buy a warm coat before that.
"The city of Northwoods is in a building frenzy right now. Lumber prices are skyrocketing.
My daughter just had her second grandchild.
Each of them has no context, but I am curious to hear them because I can only hear them in the world below.
As I listen to their words, I hear the sound of the carriage again.
This time I step aside without being alerted by Lunamaria, but I take her by the shoulders and force my way off the road.
"Wow, what is it, Master Will?
"No, I thought we were going to hit each other.
If you look at it, the carriage was rougher and faster than the one just seen.
It seemed to be oblivious to the people on the road.
Auriga thought it was a horrible driver, but the figure in the carriage was surprisingly kind.
He doesn't seem to be the type of man who speeds and commands his fellow travelers to kick the shit out of him. A girl similar in age to me is riding in the carriage and seems to be taking care of her.
As I'm pondering this, another carriage is approaching. At the same speed, another carriage is coming along the road.
This one looks dreadful, both for its driver and its riders.
They were armed with armor and weapons, and some were clad in the furs of barbarians and mercenaries.
I wondered if
"I wonder if the girl in the carriage is being chased?
I've come to the conclusion that.
It's a standard development in adventure novels, but as I'm not well versed in the common sense of the world below, I can't make a quick decision, so I ask Lunamaria.
What do you think of those two carriages, Lunamaria? I looked like a girl being chased,
I'm blind, so I can't make that much of a judgment, but if you ask me, Mr. Will, it must be true.
Hmmm, I don't want to be judged by me as a hick.
"I am relying on Mr. Will's sense of justice and chivalry. And also my propensity to get into trouble.
But all that trouble has been solved, and as a result, the people we saved were all good people.
"You think it will happen again?
"Yes, I believe so,
Lunamaria says with an interesting expression.
If the Mother Goddess' priestess assures you, you may believe her.
It's easier to believe in what she believes instead of believing in yourself.
And if Ronin, the god of swords, is here.
"Save the woman for now, she may have some good luck later.
And if Vandal, the god of magic, would say
"Since the beginning of time, those who attack women in numbers have never been justified.
I would assert that.
With that thought, I made up my mind and started running.
Quite fast.
Naturally, Lunamaria couldn't keep up with it, but.
I said I would turn around.
"Lunamaria is able to pace herself,
I understand. But don't be too hard on yourself.
I know.
And then speed up further.
The travelers watch me as I move at wind-like speed, but it's only for a moment. In the blink of an eye, I'm out of sight.
But still, it's a human foot. At this rate, the distance between me and the carriage will only increase.
So I decided to use magic.
First, I'll look above and see if there are any birds. I'll borrow his vision when I see the hawk. It's the magic of hawk-sighting.
Once I know the approximate distance of the carriage, I use the math I learned from the Vandal to measure the distance and calculate how fast I need to fly in time.
After calculating this, I chant the Flying spell and soar through the air.
I am freed from gravity. You feel like you are one with the sky, but when you reach the center of the sky, you calmly look down and descend.
Then I landed on the hood of the carriage the girl was riding in.
Auriga is not surprised.
Auriga was just groaning.
And there's an arrow in his back. It's a non-fatal wound, but he's lost consciousness from the amount of blood loss.
I thought to myself, "This is bad," and I slipped my face through the hooded window.
The girl who was watching me said, "Wow! And surprised .
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. But you do realize that this is an emergency, right?
Yes, and shake your head at the girl.
"Do you also understand that I am not the enemy?
"I understand that too. You have a very kind face, and the bad guys just don't show their faces.
"Well, that's fast and helpful. So, can I borrow this carriage now and rough it up?
I guess the girl believed me.
No, under the circumstances, I guess I had to believe her, nodding my head.
Thank goodness she talks so quickly.
I sat down next to the unconscious Auriga and borrowed the reins, but it was there that I first piloted the carriage.
--Then I realize for the first time that I've never piloted a carriage before.
What should I do, I thought, when a girl came along.
Just in time, you move Auriga backward, lay her down, put her beside you, and ask her, "How did you get here?
"It's great that you're galloping here, but I've never been in a carriage before.
I am the daughter of the House of Anaheim. I've never driven a carriage before, of course.
You too, you look weak.
But I've always watched the controls from behind. I think pulling here will slow it down.
And the daughter of the Anaheim family advised me to follow her advice, and I did indeed slow down.
I thought to myself, "I can handle this.
After hearing the general idea of how to steer the carriage, I decided to confront the rogue carriage approaching behind me.
