"...... I'm sorry. Thank you. ............
The leader of the wagon escort party bowed to us, breathless.
There was no time to stop him. Impatient, he was impatient.
He's repeatedly bowing stiffly, banging his head against the carriage.
It's a shame ...... that I have to look down on you all ...... this way. Forgive me .......
No, we were just catching the enemy off guard.
I'd rather you think of me as 'weak'. It's not very noticeable.
Also, I know you're remorseful, so stop banging your head against the carriage. I owe you that.
It's been almost an hour since we got there.
We fought them off and got the hell out of there.
We could have left the wagon party there, but they're injured and - because of their slow legs - we usually catch up with them, so we decide to stay with them halfway through.
Once we got through the forest and reached a good vantage point, we stopped the carriage.
And so now we are taking a break. The wounded adventurers are huddled around the carriage, each of them tending to their wounds.
We're going to rest in a nearby village for a while.
The leader of the wagon escort party said.
Half of the seven members were injured.
He said the wagon itself had a warped axle and should be lightly repaired.
...... It's really embarrassing. How can you fall into a crisis with a trivial willpower and still be saved ......
No, no, it was a coincidence. It's just that I was lucky enough to get a critical hit on the enemy.
...... Really?
Yeah, that's right.
What's that smoke coming out of the woods?
The salamander was burning and throwing twigs every so often. I think he was stressed out because he was summoned out of the blue by magic. I took advantage of that and made him think there were adventurers in the forest too.
...... Really?
It's true.
............ Got it.
The leader of the party (a swordsman who looks good in a crimson bandana) nodded to me.
I don't really care that these people went without waiting for us.
If we had been ahead of them, we would have been the ones who were caught by surprise by the demons. If that had happened, we would have used ...... White's 'Shilld' to block the arrows, hid in the carriage, and used Cecil's ancient language magic to wipe out the enemy...
We could have changed the terrain of the forest and the people who came after us could have seen it.
It doesn't make it any less important that we were left behind. Yup.
I mean, he says he's done, but he's still bowing to me a lot, and he doesn't seem like a bad guy.
"I'll be sure to let my client know that you guys helped me out.
I take it back. Don't do that.
"We'll spend the night in a nearby village. What about you guys?
We'll continue on to the winged city of Charka.
We can get there now, before nightfall.
There could be a caravan coming over from the other side, so we'd better tell them about the demons.
There are ways to tell them earlier, but...
............ radio waves (?) Do you still get it: ......?

Recipient: Iris.
I met a demon when I was on the street. They were some kind of organized attackers. If it looked like Iris was still in the town of Sharka, "I had a sea dragon priestess's intuition for a pippy! And then you'll be able to spread rumors of a demon.'
"Sent by Iris.
Recipient: Onii-chan.
TEXT: It's a big deal. I'm about to leave town and you said ????!?Mamono????!?Is he okay??Onii-chan, Cecil, Rita and Reggie, you're hurt!?Iris is on her way to you right now!?Let me go, big sister!?Master!?Iris is. Iris wa ????!
And Iris sent me the attached picture of Aine and Rafilia with a worried look on her face.
''I sent an image of Cecil and Rita giving a thumbs up, though, and then I calmed down.
''Speaking of which, Cutlass-san is going to have a knight qualification briefing now, right?
I was suddenly curious, so I asked him.
'...... yes. So, if you're going to spend one night in the village, you can go to ......
Mr. Cutlass began counting his fingers.
To tell the truth, the schedule is very tight," he said. To be honest, the date is last minute, but I've promised to help protect the wagon. There's no way I'm going to break it: ............
You don't have to look at me like it's the end of the world like that.
You really want to be a knight ...... Cutlass-san.
To be honest, it's not my place to interfere,...... but if Cutlass-san ends up in the service of a decent nobleman, he might be on our side.
The hiring tests may have a whiff of blackness to them, but it's not impossible to be surprised when you work there - or even surprised. If you're Cutlass-san, who didn't step back even though the wagons were surrounded by them, you'd probably only fit in with a serious aristocrat, and there's a good chance he'll like you.
Of course. There's a chance that they won't, so here.
'Mr. Cutlass.
Yes, sir.
Can we have a no-claims, no-return policy?
...... Yes?
No, I mean, you can come with us to the next town.
I once took over a part-time shift at my former world job for someone who was going to a job search interview. Let's just call it an extension of that.
If Mr. Cutlass goes to the interview and gets hired, it doesn't mean that ...... my shift is going to be two and a half times as long. ......
The only reason we were able to get our cover in time was because Mr. Cutlass was desperately trying to protect the wagon.
I said to the leader of the wagon escort party.
Cutlass-san's job is only to assist in the escort, and his reward is the safety of the journey and food and such for the duration of the trip.
To be frank, it's close to no pay, and Dolgor didn't seem to be looking for that much work either. And the main thing was, "I want to help the young ones.
'So I thought it would be enough to serve as an ...... escort aid. Besides, we're not that strong, so the more people we have, the more help we can get. So, if Cutlass-san is really in a hurry, you can come with me. To be honest, that would be very helpful. We'll hold each other, and we won't owe each other anything there (charade).
'Um, I can go to ......, but I'm also ......
with a plop
The leader of the wagon escort party pushed Mr. Cutlass, who was looking around from side to side, back.
'I'll talk to my client first.
"Leader, which ......?
"...... It's not for you. If we made a mistake and interfered with the future knight, it's because we don't have the face to match the client. This time, we've been humiliated to a great extent. ...... Let me show you something.
Then the leader looked away from Mr. Cutlass, embarrassed.
It was settled.
'Also, I've put you guys through a lot of trouble. Take this as an apology.
The leader of the adventurers then held out a small crystal to me.
The Skill Crystal. I got this in a little place, but it's not really my thing. Use it if you like.
...... What are your skills?
It's a skill I've acquired to correct my indecision... 'Impatience Level 3'.
...... Um, that's...
"Impatience Level 3
The skill of deciding on an action "quickly
???? This is the reason why I ran out in a hurry and was attacked by a demon????!
The general tweak of the wagon escort party exploded at the leader.
It was critical.
''Nah, I don't know how to thank you!
We parted from the wagon party on the road.
We began our journey in the wagon again. We added one more member to the party, but the horses didn't mind. Cutlass-san looks pretty light from the looks of it.
Cecil and Rita are sitting behind me, observing Cutlass-san.
Reggie is in his demon sword state, and before I know it, he's rolling up behind Cutlass-san. Maybe she's doing a gender check. Because it's Reggie.
''That's right!?We want to pay for you to accompany us, sir!
Suddenly, Mr. Cutlass said.
'Fine. I said we don't owe each other anything.'
That's not going to happen, sir!
'If you insist, how about ...... that in the future, when Mr. Cutlass becomes an awesome knight and receives the territory, he gets the right to wander in and beg for food?'
'Then I am sorry, sir!?I'd like to pay you all right now for your food...
Mr. Cutlass reached for the leather bag that was cradled around his waist.
The cord that held the bag together snapped. It looks like it was cut in the battle earlier.
The leather bag that doubles as a wallet opens its mouth wide and...
A dozen or so coins splashed on the floor of the carriage.
''Wow. Wahhhhh??!
Mr. Cutlass crawls on the floor to collect coins.
There's some silver, some coppers and some...
It was a coin, engraved with the profile of a girl wearing a crown.
Reflexively, I display the log of 'Consciousness Sharing and Modification'.
I overlap the coin in my field of vision with the coin held by "West Wind's Penny Hunting".
The coin is overlapped. Without an inch of error.
The coin in the image is only the right half of the coin.
Mr. Cutlass is holding - the 'Royal Coin'.
...... This is a commemorative coin made when a ...... prince or princess is born, isn't it ......?
And it is not in general circulation.
According to Iris, only the royal family has them. The others are high-ranking nobles. And it seems that only those with a connection to the royal family have .......
If you have it - is this the person the High Spec Pickpocket Legion was looking for?
''Mr. Cutlass is ...... related to the royal family. Don't tell me you're a prince ......?
What do you mean by that, sir?
He shook his shoulders - and looked at me with a look of profound surprise on his face.
I'm not a member of the royal family, sir!?And he can't be a prince, can he??What do you mean by that!
Really?
Of course!
Mr. Cutlass holds his chest wrapped in a breastplate and declares.
I swear to you, I swear by God. I am not a prince. No, I'm not a prince. If I were such a person, I'd do whatever Souma says!
Mr. Cutlass shook his head and said, "Bam, bam, bam, bam!
...... It's no use. You have helped me.
You must tell Souma and the others. I must tell you why I have this coin: ......
He closed his eyes and began to speak quietly.
