Chapter 116 – Temporary Heartbreak
Without thinking about anything in particular, I just kept looking out the window at the scenery.
After passing through the grain-growing region, the scenery didn’t change much, and the endless rolling grasslands that seemed to be everywhere continued.
It had been about three hours since we left the city of Bezart.
In the carriage, where there had been no conversation, a woman’s quiet voice resounded.
“Have you calmed down a bit?”
“Yes, a little.”
“Geez… If you get like this just leaving the city, you’ll never be able to travel the world, you know?”
“…..”
Maybe that’s not true.
It’s because it was Bezart.
I think I’m feeling so down because it was this city that I first came to.
Well, it’s unexpected that I feel this way…
I’m even surprised myself that I’m feeling this way, an emotion that would never have occurred to me when I was in Japan.
But I also understand what Amanda-san is trying to say.
There’s no point in being depressed forever.
After all, I made that choice myself.
I feel lonely and sad, but that doesn’t mean I want to go back.
So, I have no regrets about leaving Bezart.
I can’t get rid of my desire to become stronger, no matter what I do.
Then, I have to pull myself together…
Otherwise, it’s been like a wake in the carriage for a while now, and I’m causing trouble for Amanda-san and Horio-san.
“It’s okay now. I’m sorry for being so depressed.”
“I can understand why you would feel down after such a big send-off, but I’m a little relieved.”
“Huh?”
“Even though Loki-kun often does things that aren’t very childlike, I think you’re quite mature for your age at times like this.”
“Huh? I’m 32 years old, you know?”
“Huh?”
Huh? Wait, did I not tell her my real age?
Did I only tell Zink-kun and the other two?
Oh no, I must have done it absent-mindedly…
The carriage suddenly started shaking, and it looked like Horio-san heard me.
Hmm, can I get away with saying that I’m a half-elf?
I don’t know if there are any elves around.
“Haha…hahaha…”
“Hmm! Hm… it seems like you’ve calmed down, so I’ll explain the schedule first.”
“That’s right! I didn’t hear anything about that!”
Amanda-san thought she couldn’t bring up the age-related topic that might lead to a connection with another world, so she made a very deliberate attempt to change the subject.
However, the reason for this is my own doing, so I will gratefully take the opportunity.
“Tonight we will camp in a place where the stagecoaches along the highway can be stopped. And tomorrow we will leave early in the morning and should arrive in Malta by evening.”
“Th-Thank you for the concise explanation…”
From the escort request I saw in Bezart before, I knew that it would take about two days to get to Malta.
But I see, so we’ll be sleeping outside.
Well, it’s no problem for me, but I wonder if Amanda-san will be okay?
“Is Amanda-san used to sleeping outside?”
“Not really, but I’ll be fine. I’ll sleep in the carriage, and we have water and food in here too.”
She said this and started knocking on the wooden box she was sitting on so it looked like she had two guards and that she would be fine in the carriage.
“Loki-kun is like a client, so if you sleep in the carriage with me…”
“It’s fine! I’m an expert at camping, so don’t worry about me!”
I got a shiver.
If I sleep in the carriage with her, she’ll probably try to eat me.
I wonder if I’ve picked up a strange spoiling habit from being with Felin, but even if it’s Amanda-san, I’m so vulnerable right now that I’d probably fall for it, so if she’s trying to take advantage of my broken heart, it’s a pretty despicable strategy.
I have to change the strange atmosphere that the person across from me seems to be creating with her tongue licking first…
I thought and handed over a few sheets of paper I had kept in a duralumin case.
It’s not something that should be done around Horio-san, but the three of us will travel together as a set until we reach Malta.
Sooner or later, if I don’t give too many details, he’ll probably just think I’m an inventor.
“These are things I thought would be good for ordinary people to have in the next few days. I also drew some pictures, although they’re not very good.”
What I gave Amanda-san was probably something like a guide to the modern ‘umbrella’ and ‘bicycle.’
It describes the structure, uses, and materials that, to the best of my knowledge, could be used as alternatives in this world.
Even if a person has no knowledge at all if they read this, they will be able to understand what it is and what kind of improvements it could bring to their lifestyle, so I think Amanda-san will be able to grasp the general content from this alone.
Amanda-san looked at the contents, and without saying a word, she turned her eyes to Horio-san.
I think so.
I’m thinking the same thing.
So let me say this.
“Please take your time to look over the contents. I think you have enough time.”
Amanda-san nodded silently and looked back at the paper I had given her.
Phew~…
I guess this will prevent an uncomfortable atmosphere.
In a situation where the content of the conversation is restricted, it’s impossible to talk properly, and if possible, I’d like to be forgiven for my broken heart, at least for today.
After that, I continued to look at the unchanging scenery outside until the carriage stopped.
I wonder if everyone is still celebrating in the guild’s dining hall…
