The Heroine Who Was Taken Away by the Main Character Becomes Obsessed With Me After Returning

27. travel. (One)

“Then let’s go. Please take good care of me, Lord Dagnes.”

“yes. Confucius.”

After nodding off, Ciella gets on the carriage, and then Cale also gets on the carriage.

And Dagnes naturally(?) sat in the driver’s seat.

There was no need for a knight to do this kind of work, just hire a coachman.

he is an escort knight

Rather than being inside the wagon, being outside would be able to react more sensitively to an attack.

More than that, Dagnes’ interests lay elsewhere.

For example.

About how Prince Kayle can achieve success in the martial arts——

Confucius decided to participate in the martial arts festival.

Dagnes’ face turned red when he heard about it for the first time.

Prince Cale has changed.

There are quite a lot of ways of talking and personality.

However, even within the ducal family, there were more people who did not believe the story than those who believed it.

Rather than a story that a madman was healed overnight.

Rumors were easier to believe.

There were quite a few people in the Knights who thought that way.

‘Even the sparring I had with Prince Cale. They’re the ones who think I’ve come to an agreement in advance.’

A sparring between Prince Cale and himself not long ago.

Everyone would have known that he had changed just by looking at it.

Even the men of the Templars usually interpreted it the other way around.

Dagnes, who used to be an office worker, finally learned how to live a social life——something like that.

Of course, there were those who acknowledged Cale’s change in that Dagnes had been defeated.

After all, it wasn’t enough to convince everyone who wasn’t there to watch.

The reason why such ridiculous rumors spread is because Prince Cale did not show any activity in public.

However, the story will surely be different if they succeed in Mutuje.

Mutuje is the biggest event in the empire and the most honorable battlefield.

If Dagnes saw Prince Cale, he would surely be able to achieve remarkable results there.

And after such achievements come out, no one will be able to ignore Prince Cale.

‘… … I have to take good care of you.’

Although Dagnes’ limited insight did not dare to guess the level of Prince Cale.

His swordsmanship was clearly out of the realm of a criminal.

When it came to swordsmanship, there was nothing Dagnes could teach.

… … Rather, it was the level that Dagnes, who had devoted himself to training in swordsmanship for more than ten years, had to learn.

That was unmistakably true.

Dagnes was defeated by him in the sparring of pure swordsmanship.

Although it was said that he lost in a sparring with Prince Cale, it was an abbreviated sparring without the use of an aura.

Even if his swordsmanship skills are staggeringly excellent, that does not mean that he is invincible.

Even if the use of magical power is beyond the scope of humans, it does not mean that it is the strongest.

An important factor that can determine victory in a battle between knights.

Come on.

The presence or absence of that mysterious power is a symbol of strength.

Most of the knights who participated in the martial arts knew how to handle Auras.

Aura is never a kind of power that can be awakened on its own.

A mysterious power that can only be awakened with a teacher, a quality different from magical power.

Although his talent is extraordinary, he cannot awaken his Aura on his own.

And because it was Dagnes who had often been in charge of teaching Aura to the apprentice knights of the White Lion Knights.

I was confident enough to teach Aurors.

There is only about a month left until the Mutu Festival.

Considering Prince Kayle’s genius, somehow, the level of clues to the Aura was at a level that could be enlightened.

As an article, you can help… … This may be the last chance.

I will never make Prince Cale a laughing stock.

The answer is special training.

Luckily, Dagnes was chosen as an escort, so he had plenty of time to stick around.

A situation that can be said to be lucky in many ways.

Dagnes, who nodded in satisfaction, was startled by the presence nearby.

Small presences widely dispersed.

Too small to be human. Above all, an aura that harbors a definite murderous intent.

──It was an attack.

“… … Oops, it’s an assault!”

That too.

Not like humans, but of monsters.

“Keruk, Kreur… … .”

Let Dagnes seem to notice.

The monsters who were hiding their presence walked out.

A low-level monster that looks like a dog.

kobold.

Seeing that he naturally hides his presence and settles down to attack, it seems that he has not done something like this once or twice.

Although kobolds are low-class monsters.

It was a humanoid monster that was as cunning as a goblin and superior to them in its ability to read danger.

Not even one or two, but dozens or more.

If you’re alone, you can handle it without difficulty.

Dagnes now has an escort target, the entire wagon.

‘I was unnecessarily excited, didn’t even read these basic signs.’

It is said that it has been a long time since I left the family due to knight training.

It was not an excuse that he could give himself as an escort knight for Prince Cale.

“Hi-ying!”

“… … stop!”

Dagnes, blaming himself, calmed down the horse and stopped the carriage.

From now on, it was time to draw out the sword.

“Sir Dagnes, there is no need to draw your sword. I still had a little something to experiment with.”

“… … ?”

when did it come out

Cale, who was sitting on the roof of the carriage, said so.

How long have you been there?

… … No, the carriage stopped now?

Awesome!

At the same time as the carriage came to a sudden stop.

According to the natural laws of physics, Cale, who was sitting on the roof of the carriage, was shot forward.

“… … uh huh Princess Cale?!”

The carriage stopped and flew aimlessly.

Dagnes, who saw it, freaked out and tried to jump to catch him.

Cale stopped it with a short gesture.

“Sir Dagnes, you are guarding the carriage!”

sereung.

Soon after, he pulled out a black, dark-colored sword with a rugged exterior.

Cale poured energy into the sword as it accelerated and swung it lightly.

pass–

Clearly, even at a distance that could not be reached.

The kobolds in the path of the sword’s swing began to collapse.

Although they were clad in leather-padded armor.

The entire leather armor, no, as if the armor was there.

In the place where the sword was cut, only the long sword scars remained.

Tuuk!

Cale landed neatly on the ground as he slammed his sword into the ground.

Seeing him, Dagnes put on a dumbfounded expression.

Because you just sorted out all the kobolds in one match?

Or was it because he landed naturally as if he was aiming for it?

Of course, there must have been a little bit of that.

The reason Dagnes was surprised was slightly different.

“… … uh huh?”

That sharp aura carried by Cale’s sword.

Obviously, because it was an auror.

cluck.

Unlike the overwhelming inaction just before. Cale, holding a hungry stomach with an embarrassed expression, said.

“Is it lunchtime already? I even stopped anyway. Shall we settle for lunch around here?”

“yes. Then I will prepare lunch.”

rattle.

As if the scene was natural, without even a hint of surprise, Ciela opened the carriage door and began taking out cutlery.

Confucius Kale, who is stronger than expected, and Ciela, who prepares to cook as if she is accustomed to it.

Dagnes had to ponder for a moment whether he was wrong for not being able to accept this situation naturally.

For ordinary villagers, monsters are usually difficult enemies to defeat.

If it’s to a certain degree, it should be able to deal with ordinary people.

Ordinary people had to risk their lives to fight monsters.

Therefore, there were generally two ways for ordinary people in ordinary villages to solve it.

Hiring mercenaries first.

Hire an outstanding mercenary and ask them to deal with the monsters.

However, this method was usually quite expensive.

And the second… … .

Catching tourists and adventurers who occasionally stop by the town and asking them to wipe out the monsters.

Unlike mercenaries, who have to factor in the mercenary guild’s fees, hiring ordinary adventurers doesn’t require that much money.

An adventurer who travels alone usually has some degree of power.

And very occasionally.

There were bound to be travelers like Hogu who took charge of subjugating monsters at an absurdly low price.

“If you solve the kobolds, will they give you food?”

“Yes, yes! Of course! Please!”

white white hair.

The girl with blunt eyes nodded briefly as if she understood what the villager said.

cluck.

A girl trudges along holding on to her hungry stomach.

A villager who saw this opened his mouth and said to the man next to him.

“… … Wouldn’t it be okay if I gave you some rice in advance? No matter what, asking a kid like that to subdue monsters… … .”

It’s also the fact that the cost of subjugating kobolds is only rice.

Entrusting a girl like that with a request to subdue monsters, who seems to be in her mid-teens now.

Even so, as a human being, I have shame.

“… … well. It doesn’t matter if you subdue monsters or not. Anyway, wasn’t it me who accepted the request? I think you need to be a bit more clever.”

The man quietly crumpled his expression at the villager’s words, as if he were calm.

No matter how clever kobolds have been in trouble for the past few months.

Is this humanly correct?

No, this can’t be right.

“… … Stop!”

Belatedly, villagers tried to catch the girl.

The girl had already disappeared from sight.

“… … Yes, it tastes like this.”

Lunch prepared by Ciela.

After taking a bite of the soup, I muttered in satisfaction.

“My food isn’t that great… … .”

“No, that’s an excellent level.”

Siela’s specialty is cooking.

You might wonder what’s so special about a lady-in-waiting that her specialty is cooking.

Siela’s cuisine is not the most outstanding level in the empire, but it has become delicious anytime, anywhere.

Moderately delicious rice anytime, anywhere.

You may not know how important this is.

In other words, it is a story that you can give delicious food even during war or while running away surrounded by monsters.

Sir Dagnes was also hurriedly eating, although not until now.

I was about to ask Ciela for another plate after I had barely quenched my hunger.

Suddenly, a girl with white hair came into sight.

A somewhat familiar face.

However, the impression that it looks a little young.

It couldn’t have been a face he didn’t know.

‘… … Rin?’

Lin.

The lofty wolf, the successor of the Eunrang tribe.

The iron-blooded empress of the north, who does not bleed even when stabbed.

‘Why is that human here?’

I belatedly read her sign and put on a surprised expression.

Rin’s interest was not on this side.

She murmured softly as she lifted the broken corpse of the kobold and put it down.

“Kobold. rice. lost… … .”

At first glance, it may sound insipid.

Or, it sounded like a collapse.

cluck.

However, the echo of hunger reverberated in the desolate space.
