When I plugged into the river on the way to Seigen, Namitaloh said so and got off the carriage. And as I went straight into the river, I started swimming with great momentum.
"Long time river yeah...... ho ho ho"
The conditioned namitalows had jumped many times over the water and scattered huge amounts of water around them.
"Namitaro! The water's flying this way!
"I'm sorry about that one. It's been a while. I don't know how to use my powers."
Did the excitement subside, Namitaro slowly came near the carriage.
"So, you're going now?
"Oh no. If you do it around here, this river is the biggest? If you do, you can say goodbye here."
Namitalow said so, offering the right chest fin. When I grabbed it, Namitaro moved up and down in momentum.
"What, Namitaro's going already? I'm gonna miss you."
"There's no way we're ever going to see each other again... well, until then, if Merlin lived, we'd talk about it!
and so on, laughing and talking to Grandpa. He stayed in our pond while he was in the Wang capital, moved around the mansion in a delicate manner, and behaved as if he were a member of his family, so he was familiar with it until he could tap such a light mouth on his grandfather.
"Tenma, don't let me know with a whistle if anything happens. Bye, bye!
Namitalow said so, swimming with tremendous momentum downstream. Shockingly dropping off Namitaro, who was quickly getting smaller, caught up with the carriages of the Jins, who were a little behind, but by then Namitaro was invisible.
"You're a flirtatious guy. You could say something to us."
Jin and his family had quite a bit of interaction with Namitaro, so they probably feel a little lonely that they didn't give themselves a goodbye.
"Just by the water, shall we take a break here? I don't care if this one's good, but you better let that horse rest, okay?
My carriage is a horse-shaped golem tanicase (in slurrin), so I am tireless (slurrin consumes magic, but if I replenish it, it is fine), so it is possible to go as far as Seigen without stopping. But that's not what the horses the Jins owe. No matter how many horses have been improved for carriage pull and have more strength and strength than normal breeds, tired ones are tiring.
"You sure do. Then... I think it would be nice to have it a little higher over there. If you're too close to the water, you could be attacked by some weird demon."
Normally it would be nice to take a break by the water, but where there is some depth and breadth like the river in front of you, there could be a large, carnivorous demon living like the previously crusaded Crocodile Shark. So we need to get away from the riverbank to some extent.
"Shall I? As promised, I'll be in charge of the meal, so be on your guard during the break."
This is a pre-meeting condition, and instead of me (+ Grandpa) taking charge of all the meal preparation, Jin and the others "Dawn Sword" are in charge of the vigilance during the break (including at night)... and then Blanca and Amur too.
In the meantime, I asked my grandfather to prepare a simple meal. Anyway, Grandpa can't be a fighter except for the easy ones when it comes to cooking.
"Uh... it's halfway time, so I was wondering if you'd like something a little lighter."
I removed salt and pepper from the velcro bags, flour and eggs, finely chopped beef, several types of vegetables such as onions and lettuce, and oil. It's a crepe to make.
Serve baked or chopped utensils on plates by type and prepare thinly baked dough. It is the style of eating baked dough wrapped around each favorite ingredient. For the slurrins, we have a separate stir-fried meat and vegetables. I made a ton of crepes so I'm thinking of leaving them for night food if I have any excess......
"Tenma, change"
Instead of remaining, it seemed like it would be missing. The biggest miscalculation was Amur with a crepe on his cheek beside me. I was eating so much crepe that I wondered where she fit in the smallest of her. Amur, Blanca, Galat, a little further away and in the order of gin, by the way, in terms of the quantity currently eaten. Others were almost side-by-side, with the exception of the lowest Leena. By the brilliant, three beasts occupy the upper hand.
"Eat well..."
With all the three of them eating, I squealed unexpectedly. It seemed like they heard me whining like that, and the three of them all stopped their hands.
"Really? This is normal."
"A lot of beasts eat dope."
"Tenma doesn't like eating a lot?
Garat, Blanca, Amur. In the meantime, if you listen to me in detail, it seems that the beast man has a habit of being close to the beast in the first place, so he often eats away when he can, and consumes more calories for his physical abilities than any other species.
"That's why we don't have many professional farmers in our settlements. Most houses are farm farmers with hunters and adventurers."
It should be noted that the family line of Amur is ruling class from generation to generation, and they have never farmed at all. Blanca's only a little, but he's got experience in agriculture.
"It's like Kukri Village"
My words separated us from each other, and we all resumed our meals. After that, I made the addition of utensils and fabrics twice, and the meal was over, and I was supposed to take the rest of the meal before I left, but for some reason there were people getting in my carriage.
"Menace, Leena, Amur, why are you here?
These are the women in the carriage prepared for "The Sword of Dawn".
"No, it's narrow over there."
"I don't feel comfortable riding."
"Bath"
It was an easy reason to understand. The carriage that Jin and the others were riding is never narrow or worn out, but it doesn't extend to what I built on the boulder. Actually, it's too comfortable to ride, enough that the king told me to sell it to him. However, I can't sell what I am using right now, and I didn't have time to make a new one, so I drew a blueprint for the same thing and gave it to them. Of course, we get design fees, and after the second one, we have contracts that incur fees in the form of patent fees.
"I know why, but what about the Jins?
I don't mind moving this way, but the problem is the Jins. Unlike this other carriage, people have to give instructions to the horses at all times, so reducing the number of people means increasing the burden.
"It's okay, we're talking"
"They say it's easier for guys to feel like each other."
"Blanca shut him up"
They talk through it, but the way Leena put it, what happens to me and Grandpa? Afterwards, Amur wonders how he shut Blanca up.
"Blanca's weakness is that your wife and my mother...... when you give these two names, Blanca grows up"
... you might as well not have asked. Well, he seemed to have permission, so I put him in the carriage. Grandpa was sympathetic to the Jins when he asked why the three of them had come.
"Tenma, quick and bad, can I use the bath? I was wondering what kind of bath was on the carriage."
"Enjoy it quickly!
"Tenma go in with you?
"It's nice to take a bath, but that's for one. We'll set the order before we go in. Plus, the bathroom is with the bathroom and stripper, so if you want to take off your clothes, you can do it in the bathroom. If you can't protect it, you can forcibly return it to Jin's place and it's forbidden to use it in the future."
I stabbed the nail before Amur ran wild. Menace and Leena seemed to intend to do so from the beginning, but Amur seemed a little dissapointed... he seemed right to hit the lead.
While the three of us were in the bath order, I started preparing dinner. Even when it comes to preparation, just simmer the bird meat and vegetables in a pan. I plan to make it warm and chunky at night and recommend it.
"Tenma, what's for dinner?
Menace, who apparently lost the hottest fight, heard it from behind. There's Amur behind it, so the hottest water looks like Leena.
I thought I'd make some stew.
"" Stew?
We don't seem to know each other's stews.
"Soup stewed with meat and vegetables in milk, I guess"
Menace is nodding at my explanation, but Amur is leaning her neck.
"It may be rare in the south because there are many cold areas out there."
To Menace's words, Amur nodded that it might be so. It seems that the area where Amur lives is warm all year round and has never snowed. Incidentally, in the Wang Dynasty, snow sometimes accumulates close to 1 m in the winter. In the winter of Kukri village, the snow falls or does not fall half of the king's capital.
"Lately, it's getting a little cold at night, so I think it's just fine... for once I ask, there's no vegetables you don't like, right?
They were both shaking their heads vertically in response to my question, so I put plenty of vegetables in the pan. Shiloumal and Solomon looked a little disgusted, so I saw it and decided to add more vegetables.
By the time the white sauce was ready, Leena and Menace had gone out of the bath and Amur, the last, had gone into the bathroom, but soon came out half naked.
Leena hastily put a blanket on it, but it was awkward on the boulder because I could see it for a moment.
"Due to the previous two, there's not much hot water...... besides being lukewarm"
"That sounds like I'm heavy!
"The way Leena put it, I'm the only one who sounds heavy."
"Mr. Menace is taller than me..."
Menace seems a little upset by Leena's words, but I ignored the two of them and headed to the bathroom.
"How about this?
I used water magic and fire magic to add hot water and asked Amur behind me. Amur stuck his arm in and checked the temperature. I saw Amur nodding and headed right to the bathroom door. At the same time as I opened the door, the hot water came to my feet, but I didn't have to feel awkward this time because I was turning my back.
A few hours after the break, it was getting dark around, so we were supposed to camp on a small high hill. The perimeter guard is in charge of Jin and the others, but just in case, Grandpa and I set a line around the carriage. There are two kinds of connections, one that keeps this sign from being perceived, and the other that informs the enemy of the invasion. However, since the junction is not universal, we ask Jin and the others to be vigilant.
"Jin, this is the night meal. I'll put you in that carriage. I have enough people for once, but be patient if you don't have enough."
"Ooh, that helps. I'll wake you up if anything happens while you're on guard, so get some rest."
After dinner, before finishing the chat and returning to his carriage, he gave the evening meal to Jin, who was in charge of the first vigilance. He said this vigilance would be done in three groups, the first with Jin and Amur, the second with Blanca and Menace and the last with Galat and Leena. They said this was divided into men and women and they set the order with whales, three hours each. Blanca and Menace, who became in charge of the hardest times, fell asleep right after dinner.
Even though adventurers on boulders say whether men and women sleep in the same futon, the women seem to sleep in the carriage used by Jin and the men in the shadow of the carriage. By the way, my carriage only sleeps with me and my grandpa and the slurrins. I can't let this happen every time I change my guard, so this is how I split it it. It should be noted that these things are common in requests for escorts, so Jin and the others did not complain. But my grandfather and I, who are not in charge of vigilance, sometimes have to deal with anything in the middle of the night, so we never went to bed early.
"Hmm?"
I felt signs of something and woke up at midnight. Almost at the same time as I woke up, Shiloumal woke up, then up off the bunk in the order of Slalin, Grandpa and Solomon.
The bearers of the signs, which also feel beyond the juncture, seem to have considerable strength.
As I was ready to go outside at any time, the door was knocked quietly.
"It's Blanca. Tenma, you look awake. I'm sorry, but come out."
When I went outside, Blanca stood with a serious expression. Menace seemed to have gone to wake everyone else up, with Jin and Amur rubbing their eyes behind her.
"So, what happened? Is it a lot of trouble to have a temper?
Ginn, who was sleeping but carrying a sword so that she could act at any time, snapped at Blanca.
"Oh, when you're a little out of the junction, feel the signs of a demon with a lot of power. I don't know if you're coming, but if you do, I think it's just us."
According to Blanca, the demons seem to be a herd, and Blanca and the others alone may be able to deal with them, but there will be a lot of damage. That's why they want me and Grandpa to wait.
"Then maybe we should get right into combat. Looks like he's headed this way pretty fast."
Using "Exploration" extensively while listening to Blanca, the demon herd was approaching about five kilometers from us. At this rate, we'll be in contact in a couple of minutes.
"Seriously! Then we have to hurry!
When Garratt slapped him in the face with both hands to get in the mood, everyone was in the mood to imitate it.
"Even if it's to intercept, it's better to fight outside the contiguity. The enemy may not have noticed us either, so we might change course by showing this one. Tenma, do you know the exact number and type of enemies?
I saw everyone in a bit of a hurry and Grandpa said that in a sober voice. I've been counting the enemies I've captured in Exploration for a while now, and I've been using Appraisal...
"Number is eight, type is... unicorn"
It was the first demon I saw. Unicorns in previous life are sometimes portrayed in stories as sacred animals and the like, but in this world they are a form of demon. However, it was said that it was harder to find than to defeat because it was a high ranking demon and a fairly small number.
"Unicorn... I've only seen it once or twice in my active life. But they are fierce, but at the same time quite clever demons. If you find out this one exists, you won't be attacking me like that. Perhaps if he showed his willingness to fight outside the bonds, he'd go somewhere trying to avoid trouble. But I'm never going to attack you without darkness. Then they might choose to fight rather than run away."
I went out of the junction as my grandfather advised, forming myself to face the unicorn.
At the beginning are Shiloumal and Solomon, right behind them, 'Sword of the Dawn' and Blanca and Amur, and a little distance beside them, me and Grandpa.
This is the feeling of a large carnivore, a natural enemy of unicorns, and a child but showing a superior dragon to restrain him, and if he still doesn't pull it off, he and I will magically attack him from left to right, and then Jin and the others will storm. By the way, Slalin is inside the tanicase and is going to be active during the pursuit.
Here he comes.
As Blanca stared away, she discovered a herd of unicorns. Unicorns all seem to be adult individuals, about a turn smaller than tanicase, but would be a larger category compared to regular horses. Especially the individuals running the lead have a gusty physique, and the horns growing on their foreheads are longer and thicker than others. Probably the leader of the herd.
We're in a small hill, but the unicorns haven't noticed if it's because we're in the wind.
When a bunch of unicorns approached us about a kilometer,
"Wowwwwww!!!
Shiloumal, who was at our head, howled into the sky. Shiloumal barked with all his might, so the ambient air shook, and Leena and Amur held their ears to the loudness of their voices.
"Uh-oh... Shiloumal, shut up"
Amur complains to Shiloumal with a voice that is not nervous, but nobody took it on board.
"Vurru ~ ~"
The unicorns noticed this presence in the howl of Shiloumal, and all heads suddenly stopped with the ringing of the lead. And we started staring at each other. Usually, unicorns are said to be Rank A demons, but when it comes to leading unicorns, there is an atmosphere that may have reached Rank S, and when it comes to dealing with all eight heads, it would be a nastier opponent than the Diryu I defeated a while ago. We wouldn't lose, but depending on the deployment, we could suffer a lot.
"Tenma, the unicorns are about half a mile away... if the lead passes that rock, it's a magical attack. Prioritize maneuvers over the power of a single blow and make sure they fall apart. Take care not to get pinched, but aim to destroy each and every one of them. I'd like you to knock him out of the lead if you can, but you'll never have to."
In Grandpa's words, tension increased all at once. And you felt our nervousness, and the unicorns seem to have stepped up their vigilance, and slowly began to move forward without distracting themselves from this one.
When he approached me with 100m and 200m and it was time to launch an attack, suddenly the leading unicorn was not big enough, and all his heads were aligned and he changed direction and ran away.
"Horsemeat escapes..."
It was us who were so distracted that we couldn't react to Amur's whining, but we stayed on alert until soon we couldn't see the unicorn.
"Looks like you're gone."
"Oh, it's also out of my range of 'exploration'. You'll have to stay alert for once, but you'll never come back."
As I affirmed Blanca's words, I told everyone the results of my exploration. So the Jins lost their minds, and each began to yawn loudly or stretch.
"Hang on, why does that show up here?"
"You know what? Think you've seen some very rare demons! I'm going to bed now!
To Garratt's words, Jin, who seemed a little in a bad mood, replied as he headed to his bunk.
"Blanca, can you eat that?
Amur seemed to see unicorns only as food. I have been saying horse meat and horse meat since earlier. Maybe I'm hungry.
"Hmm? Yeah, you've heard it's pretty good. But in the case of unicorns, the corners of the forehead and the oil, a single dish, are worth more than meat. It's going to be a highly effective drug."
"One thing?"
"It's a symbol of a man."
"I see...... Ouch!
I threw the bread out of my bag at Amur, staring at my groin. The bread hit Amur's face and fell straight to the ground, but the bread is wrapped in cloth so there is no problem with the quality.
"I know the corners, but is it worth that for oil and that (...)?
"That's right!
I was gonna ask Blanca and Grandpa, but for some reason Leena smiled and broke in.
"The horns on my forehead, when I fry them and drink them, have a detoxifying, detoxifying and nourishing effect, and when it comes to detoxifying them, they are almost as versatile as can be said. Oil works on stomach pills if you drink them, wound pills if you apply them, besides spots, wrinkles, scabs, etc! As for that (...), if you broil and crush anything dried in the sun, it becomes an energizer. They are all expensive, high performance and extremely rare, so all the top aristocrats will buy and fish the moment they get on the market...... Ouch!
Menace slammed Leena's flank lightly when she finished explaining that she was upset with Doya's face. I went back to my carriage more than this before I got caught up in some weird tension in the middle of the night, but when I opened the door I saw my futon swell. Turning around, there was Amur sleeping with breadcrumbs around his mouth.
Touching it poorly, Judge Amur was likely to convict me later, so I invited (softly) the guardian (Blanca) to collect it. When they took me away, I thought I heard a little tongue pounding from Amur, who was supposed to be asleep, but I decided to sleep without worrying... but the breadcrumbs were scattered inside and outside the futon, so I was going to use extra effort before I went to bed.
