Either accompany a military force of ten thousand reinforcements, or go ahead of them with a carriage.
Being asked to choose one, Diablo immediately chose to go on ahead.
The reason was, in order to protect the town of the Races from the wild beasts even a moment faster──or so one would hope, but it was he absolutely didn’t want to travel together with a large number of people that he didn’t know.
Of course, it was It would be better if there were fewer victims among the Races though.
With that being the case, Diablo’s group boarded a large-sized carriage pulled by four horses, and headed towards the southern region.
Departing the next day after the audience (officially, it was a conference), seven days after leaving the royal capital──
It was a path in the mountains that couldn’t be called a highway.
On the left was the mountain, on the right was a valley.
The trees had grown thick, and since large branches would occasionally block the path, the guards would have to get down and cut down the trees.
It was a large-sized carriage that could carry eight people, but there was only Diablo, Rem, and Shera in the passenger cabin. They sat down side-by-side on a boarded seating that was like a bench.
Since it was carriage for military use, it only had small windows for light to go through. The outside could hardly be seen, and it was dim inside.
Large portions of food and water were loaded on the roof.
On the coachman bench outside, there was one coachman and two guards──They were military personnel and even acted as guides to the battlefront.
They were most likely acting as observers for Diablo’s group as well. Even when they were having meals, they would take some distance, and almost never conversed with Diablo’s group.
They advanced through the mountain road.
Rem was looking pale.
「Uuugh……It’s great that it was a large-sized carriage. Since it would have shaken a lot more if it were a normal carriage, I don’t think I would have been able to endure it.」
「so you’re bad with vehicles as usual huh.」
「……Yes.」
On the other hand, Shera was unusually quiet.
Staring at the carriage’s small window, she breathed a sigh.
Even though she would usually be carefree and have her chest shaking as she wore her clothes, this was rare.
He was worried……but if he had a personality where he could suddenly call out to her at times like this, he couldn’t be suffering from being bad at communication. Diablo maintained his silence.
Rem asked a question.
「……Is something wrong, Shera?」
「Nnー」
It was an unusually vague reply.
「……This isn’t like you. Please talk to us without holding back.」
「It’s not like I’m holding back or anything……Even I, don’t really get it.」
「……Not really knowing what you want to say is the usual thing for you, isn’t it.」
「Auawaahー」
That was a harsh assessment of her.
Though it was thanks to that that she found it easier to speak.
After a short while, Shera finally opened her mouth.
「Well, you see……In the past, the Lifelia Kingdom attacked the Elven forest, right. They thought that the Dark Elves were Demon King worshippers.」
「……Right, that’s what we heard.」
It seems that the king from three generations ago had sent an army corps called the 《Holy Army》.
As a result, the Dark Elves were driven out from their rich forest, and lived in a poisonous forest.
The surviving Dark Elves hated both the Humans of the Lifelia Kingdom that attacked them and the Elves that had abandoned them.
Right now, they were headed towards reconciliation thanks to Shera’s proposition but……
She spoke.
「It might be something of the past for the Humans. Tou-san, he said that the Elves had already reconciled with the Lifelia Kingdom. But you know, the Dark Elves that had a terrible experience are still alive.」
「……Are you unable to forgive the Lifelia Kingdom?」
「Uh-uh. That’s not it, I just don’t want the same thing to happen again, see……Also, I want them to understand that the Dark Elves aren’t Demon King Worshipers. For everyone to understand.」
「……That’s right.」
「I wanted to say that to the King. But I couldn’t.」
「……Considering it’s you, you have really thought about things properly.」
「Eh?」
Rem breathed a sigh.
「……There is something called an opportunity for everything.」
Shere slightly tilted her head.
「Opportunity?」
「……In everything you need to choose the person, time, and place. To bring up the Dark Elves’ innocence and their suffering that continues even now──Would it really be correct to bring it up directly to His Majesty the King? I think that would be thoughtless. There is also the problem of place, see? An audience is not a place where it is alright to say whatever you like to His Majesty.」
──So that’s how it is.
Diablo felt that spoke whatever he liked to the point that it surprised even himself.
Rem continued on.
「……Most important of all, it’s the time. It was the worst. The dignitaries were seething with bloodlust, and looked like they would start a fight at any moment.」
「Un, that was really scary, wasn’t it!」
The cause of the atmosphere becoming dangerous was, of course, not just a single person.
Rem then turned a cold gaze towards him.
「……Why, did you come to the royal capital, Diablo?」
She asked that as if spitting out something she kept silent about thos whole time.
──I can’t possibly say that it was because I was could go to a monster girl soapland.
That would be embarrassing!
There was also the opinion that sex-oriented entertainment was also a form of infidelity. No, it wasn’t like he intended on going to a sex-oriented entertainment establishment though!
To begin with, his goal was to secretly switch out Rem’s ring……
He couldn’t answer honestly on the second and third layers of the situation.
Diablo folded his arms.
「Hmph……I thought that a situation that couldn’t be resolved with just the two of you would occur!」
「……Certainly, if it weren’t for you, Diablo, the quest this time would be impossible.」
「That’s right.」
He glossed over it!
Rem returned to her conversation with Shera.
「……Let us calm down and think about it. The Lifelia Kingdom won’t be sending soldiers to the Dark Elf village anymore.」
「Un.」
「……The sense of discrimination towards the Dark Elves is a problem, but even if that were to be brought up to His Majesty, it surely wouldn’t be resolved.」
「It isn’t that simple, is it.」
「……I understand your feelings……However, unless you choose the correct opportunity, you won’t obtain the result you are hoping for. Only saying the things that you want to say is what a child would do.」
「I got it. Thanks, Rem.」
「No problem……Looks like you’re growing up little by little.」
「Ehehe……」
Rem was a bit younger than Shera, but she was like an older sister to her.
Diablo also had the same feeling.
The Dark Elves were forced to have a difficult lifestyle. They had inherited a ritual that was related to Demon Kings──it was due to that sort of misunderstanding. That sort of thing was unreasonable, and he felt that they should be helped.
However, in the audience this time, Diablo himself had nearly became an insolent person, a criminal, and a rebel.
──If we succeed in this quest, it might be alright to bring that problem up. It will depend on the mood when we meet with the king again though……
If they were made to think that Diablo’s abilities were necessary, wouldn’t it also be possible to request action to help the Dark Elves? He was vaguely thinking about that sort of thing.
Suddenly, Shera shifted topics.
「Come to think of itー. Where were we going from now on again!?」
Just as soon as she was praised for a bit, this happens.
Rem glared at her with scornful eyes.
「……It’s the newly developed Southern territory, Caliture.」
「Hーn? Rem, do you have something to do with that place?」
「Eh? Why do you ask……」
「Somehow, your expression went dark when you said that name.」
Diablo fixedly stared at Rem. He hadn’t noticed that sort of change.
She shrugged her shoulders.
「……You really do have good perception on the strangest things.」
「So you really do have something?」
「……Caliture is──」
When she was in the middle of speaking, the carriage shook grandly.
「Kyaa!?」
The one who raised a scream and jumped at him, was amazingly Rem. At times like this, it was usually Sherao who would rely on him though.
Diablo caught her slender body.
He still wasn’t used to touching women, but he was at least able to catch them in his arms in emergencies. He was used to that much.
「Are you alright, Rem?」
「Uuu……sorry. I get anxious when my own feet aren’t touching the ground……On top of that, things were shaking.」
Her trembling figure made her look like a kitten.
「It would seem that something happened.」
The carriage’s vibrations increased, and his body was pushed back. Was it accelerating?
Driving fast on unlevel ground like this was dangerous. It wasn’t like they were in a rush to get to their destination.
Diablo sent his gaze around the inside of the cabin.
「Shera, where are you?」
Rem was frightened, and Diablo was holding her in his arms. That’s why he thought he would get Shera to see what was going on outside but……
Unfortunately, Shera was overturned on the floor. Did she tumble down from her seat when the carriage shook hard?
「Harahirehore……」
She was in a state where her eyes were spinning.
──Oi oi, I can see your panties!?
