This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
My strategy of hoping all problems would conveniently resolve themselves while I was unconscious ended in two seconds when Tia kicked me in the rear. Afterward, the young female knightI believe she was 25?cut down the motionless bear with a puzzled expression and then used a healing potion on us.How are you feeling?
Ah, were saved. Thank you very much, Lady Knight.
Thank you very much.
As Tia and I bowed our heads in unison, the female knight responded with a slight smile.
No need. I was just following the princesss orders. If you want to thank someone, thank Her Highness.
The princess, you say?
Yes. While we were traveling by carriage, Her Highness suddenly exclaimed, I feel like someone is being attacked. I came to check as a precaution, and thats when I encountered you two.
I see Then indeed, she is also our benefactor. Wed very much like to express our gratitude personally but given her noble status, would that be difficult?
No, its fine. Her Highness instructed me to bring anyone who was attacked to her. You should come along.
Oh, thank you very much. Lets go, Tia.
Yes.
After this exchange, which went more or less as expected, we followed the female knight out of the forest. As we emerged onto the main road, we saw a luxurious black carriage stopped with several guards. As we approached, the female knight knelt on one knee in front of the door and called out.
Your Highness, I have returned.
Welcome back, Elsa. How did it go?
Yes, as you said, adventurers were being attacked by a demonic beast. I rescued them and brought them here. They wish to express their gratitude. What should we do?
Of course, thats fine.
With a high, slightly lisping voice, the carriage door opened from the inside. The figure that appeared was a girl of about five years old, dressed in a pink gown adorned with abundant frills, with chestnut-colored hair and eyes. She was, in fact, the hero of this world.
Nice to meet you, adventurers. I am
? Your Highness?
W-Who are you!?
The girl called princess, however, cried out in surprise upon seeing us. Or more accurately, it felt like she shouted upon seeing Tia Why?
Well, um, who, you ask Theyre just the adventurers we saved. Come to think of it, what are your names?
Ah, yes. Im I mean, I am Ed, an adventurer. And this is
Im Eds companion, Lunaritia. Thank you very much for having your knight save us.
Ah, I see. Yes, Ed. Ed is fine. But you! Who are you!? What are you!?
Well, as I said, Im Eds companion What do you mean by what
Youre an Elf, arent you!? Your ears are long! But why is an Elf with a shabby man like Ed!?
Eh
I involuntarily muttered at the princesss unfiltered comment. Well, certainly, compared to the beautiful Tia, I have a very ordinary, unremarkable appearance.
But shabby Hmm, am I really that shabby?
Um, Your Highness? Thats a bit rude We havent even properly introduced ourselves yet.
Ah!? Youre right, Im sorry. Let me start over. I am the third princess of the Fondaria Kingdom, Margaret Kiltz Fondaria! So, Elsa, what was the situation with these people?
Yes. As you said, when I entered the forest, they were being attacked by an Algobear. I defeated it, but Ed-dono was injured on the head, and Lunaritia-dono on the arm, so I used healing potions to heal their wounds.
I see. The arm is one thing, but the head is concerning Alright! Then well take Ed to the castle and have a healing mage examine him!
What!?
Margaret beamed with a smile as if she had a great idea, but Elsa raised her voice in confusion.
Um, Your Highness? Taking an adventurer of unknown background to the castle might be a bit problematic
Ill ask Father, so its fine! Besides, if you end up dying because you didnt receive proper treatment after I went through the trouble of saving you, it would be an embarrassment to the royal familys nether regions!
(T/N: So what happens here is she uses kokan which means crotch, what she wanted to use for koken which means face/honor)
Your Highness. Thats not kokan but koken
Details dont matter! Anyway, were taking Ed with us!
Um, what about me?
Tia suddenly interjected into the exchange between Margaret and Elsa. Margaret looked at Tias face with a puzzled expression and says:
Huh, why you um Luna. ryu?
Lunaritia If its difficult to pronounce, just Tia is fine.
Is that so? Then, Tia. You were injured on the arm, and that was healed by the healing potion, right? So why would you need treatment at the castle?
Thats Well, I dont need treatment, but Ed is my important companion, so Id like to stay with him if possible.
Eh? Youre not children, so cant you just wait at an inn in town while he receives treatment?
Thats ugh, true, but
Tia faltered, cornered by the five-year-old girls logic. Hmm, this was a completely unexpected turn of events. In the first run, it was just me, so I could easily go to the castle Sigh, I guess theres no helping it.
Excuse me, Your Highness.
What is it?
While I greatly appreciate your kindness, I must decline your offer.
What!?
G-Guh!?
I bowed deeply as I addressed Margaret. In response, both Tia and for some reason, Margaret as well, exclaimed in surprise.
Ed, are you sure?
Its fine. Sure, it might complicate things, but Id rather not be separated from you, Tia.
Ed
W-Wait a minute! Why? Why wont you come!?
Hey, you! To spurn Her Highnesss kindness is extremely disrespectful, no matter how you look at it!
I understand. I understand, but for me, being together with Tia is more important. Please forgive us. If you cannot forgive this, then let the punishment fall on me alone.
No way! Ill accept punishment together with you! Were sorry, Your Highness!
What shall we do, Your Highness?
As we both bowed our heads, Elsa addressed Margaret with a troubled expression. Margaret scratched her head roughly, in a manner unbefitting royalty, and spoke in a somewhat resigned tone.
Ah, geez! Fine! I get it! Then both of you can come to the castle together!
Your Highness, is that alright?
Theres no choice! If they say it has to be both of them, we have to bring both of them!
But I mean, is there really a need to go this far for these adventurers?
Thats true, but its not! Ill persuade Father properly, so lets just go to the castle! Come on, both of you get in the carriage!
Eh, is that okay? To ride in the same carriage as the princess
Its fine! Come on, get in! You too, Elsa!
Saying this, Margaret retreated into the carriage. So Tia and I followed, entering the carriage and sitting side by side on the seat facing Margaret. Finally, Elsa boarded and sat next to Margaret. The door was closed from the outside, and the carriage slowly started moving.
Wow, the seats are so soft. And it doesnt shake at all.
Of course! More importantly, Tia!
? What is it?
Im really curious about how you and Ed met! Where did you two meet? Why are you adventuring together? Tell me, tell me! Tell me everything before we reach the castle!
Eh? Um, Ed?
Ah, well. Why dont you just tell her what seems safe to talk about?
I answered when Tia looked at me. Since we knew wed be going to the castle this time, weve thought out our background enough to be safe if asked about our identities. Besides, Im right here, so I can stop her if shes about to say somethig strange.
Alright, Ill tell you then.
Yay! Hehehe, Im going to learn your secrets!
Ahahahaha
With a somewhat ambiguous smile, Tia began to recount our meeting and memories. Margaret listened with great interest, while next to her, Elsa kept her hand on her sword hilt, never letting her guard down
(Ah, this time its quite a noisy start)
Thinking this, I absentmindedly gazed at the sky through the carriage window.
