Chapter 15 – Entor Kingdom 3rd Knight Order Commander (2)

Eh?

His lordship-sama is going to sell magic stones?

Does he need money?

If he just says how much he’ll need, we’ll prepare it right away….

No, is there some kind of meaning behind selling magic stones?

What is it?

No, my head is spinning.

In any case, he can sell them in this village….areh?

If I’m not mistaken, the trading place in this village was shut down a while ago.

The owner got involved in crime and…..

「Ehto, magic stone….」

Wait.

I don’t need to tell him about the embezzlement of magic stones.

No, I better not talk about anything unnecessary.

There’s now way I should talk about the stains of this country….good thing I thought about it.

「I think there is a place where you can trade it but not in this village. It’s in the next village.」

He looked a little disappointed that he can’t trade in this village but it couldn’t be helped.

「Thanks for the information. I’ll go there now.」

The owner of the magic stone store in the next village has a good personality and a good head on his shoulders.

He is a person I would have no problem introducing to him.

Okay, I’ll show him the way.

「Ano!」

It’s over. My voice was too loud.

Look, his lordship-sama is also surprised.

The bloodlust of the king of the forest and the others intensified.

「Let me guide you.」

「No, it’s fine. It would be faster if I had Koa take me there. Besides, Dadavis-san, you don’t look so good. So are those two behind you.」

It’s because of those who are in his lordship-sama’s left, right, and back.

I wish I could say that but I know I can’t.

I glance around his lordship.

….yeah, no way I can.

「We are okay. Thank you for your concern. We know where the trading place is so please let us guide you there.」

Besides, what would the king say if I didn’t guide him around here?

The king of the forest is scary but the king of Entor is scary too.

If you’re going to ask me which one is scarier…I wonder.

The kings of the forest are scary but they are cool.

I’ve always wanted to be involved with the forest for a long time.

So I guess I’m proud of myself for being involved even though I’m scared.

The king is….giving a lot of crazy orders these days.

I respect him but…..

「Heal」

At the same time his lordship-sama said that, I was undeveloped with a gentle light.

「「「Eh!?」」」

I heard Kimir and Cafiret’s voices too.

Well, that’s what it is.

Even so, when the light went out, my body became lighter.

Could this be healing magic?

I move my body.

Whoah, my legs were tired from traveling through the forest but my fatigue disappeared.

My body is light too….I want to brag this to someone!

When I get back to the royal capital, I’m going to brag about this to all of my friends!

「His lordship’s magic is almighty.」

I nodded silently to agree with the king of the forest.

The pain in my body has disappeared completely…..even my scar marks are gone.

My body looks clean.

To use that kind of magic to us, his lordship-sama is too kind.

And he still looks worried about us even though he has already healed us.

His kindness knows no bounds.

I want to be more helpful to him regardless of what the king says.

I’ll definitely guide you today.

「Do you only need to get money? Or are you looking for a place to trade?」

Hnn?

Why is Cafiret asking that?

I guess he wants more detail about the trading part.

「I also want to check the place so that I can do it again when I need some money again.」

Again?

You mean you’ll come to this country again?

That’s what I concluded from what I just heard.

I see.

There’s a next time.

Yeah, I have to connect this village with the royal capital.

Right now, we don’t even have a direct communication channel.

When we get back to the royal capital, I’ll talk to the mages.

 

I screwed up.

Why did I ask if he could ride a horse?

He’s even riding the king of the forest, of course he can.

When I met him in Emperors’ territory, he was riding the king of the forest in the sky.

The bloodlust from the king of the forest’s group has intensified to a whole new level.

I glance at Cafiret.

Yeah, he’s white alright.

Let’s get away here now. My other subordinates are also waiting for us.

「Can you please wait for us here while we go get our horse?」

It would be rude to make them wait for too long.

I must quickly give instructions to my men and bring the horses back.

I ran back to my men.

「Ano, what is happening?」

One of my subordinates wasn’t able to contain himself and asked me.

However, that is to be expected.

I am sure everyone’s pretty excited given that the god of the forest, who prefers to be called his lordship-sama, and a king of the forest are in front of them.

「Calm down. His lordship-sama has a little business to do in this country. Since his goal can only be done in the neighboring village, we decided to guide him. You guys go back to the capital.」

「Eh? Can’t we escort him with you? Areh? His lordship-sama?」

Grumblings and questions came out from my subordinates’ mouths.

I guess that’s normal.

We are quite close to his lordship and the king of the forest.

However, given his lordship’s demeanor, I get the feeling that he doesn’t welcome anything too ostentatious.

Because of that, we can’t all go together.

「Ah, I’ll give up this time. And the lord of the forest has given me permission to call him his lordship-sama.」

Instead of giving up, everyone seemed to get more excited and even started to make a fuss.

Areh?

Did the god of the forest allow me to call him his lordship-sama?

Well, I was in the middle of confusion that time so I remember…..the king of the forest allowed it, right?

However, his lordship-sama didn’t reject it…. which means I’m allowed, right?

….yeah, I should have been allowed.

「By the way, he said something about coming back to this country. If we make a good impression this time, maybe he’ll visit more often.」

For that to happen, we have to do our best.

Well, if I am allowed to stay by his side, I’m sure I can do my best.

I’m a little scared of his surroundings though.

Hearing what I said, my men became more excited.

「We have to return to the god of the forest’s side immediately. You guys go back to the royal capital and get some rest.」

I instructed my men to get on their horses and ride to the god of the forest.

He said he would be waiting for us in the square.

Areh?

Did he bother to go to the square?

「Areh? Is it only you?」

Eh?

Would it have been better if I had my men go with us?

Did I make a hasty decision?

「Ehto, I had them report to the king so I told them to go back first.」

I looked at his lordship-sama.

He thought about something for a moment but he didn’t seem to be particularly displeased.

I guess it’s alright.

 

Ah, right, there’s something that’s bothering me.

I wish I could have corrected it sooner.

「Ano, please call me Dadavis. No need to add “sama”.」

「Eh?」

Eh?

Why are you so surprised?

Did I do anything that offended you?

No, right?

I didn’t, right?

「Ano, is there a problem?」

No matter what he says, I’ll have to be prepared.

「I get it. Dadavis, right?」

….name?

「Yes」

That’s it.

I look at his lordship and he no longer looks troubled.

Good.

Something may have happened but I seem to have been forgiven.

Areh?

What happened to his face?

I see his lordship touching his face with his hands?

I tilted my heck and looked at him and for some reason, he nodded vigorously.

…..I don’t get it.

For now, let’s guide them to the next village.

「Then, please follow me.」

It’s bad for the horse but let’s hurry up and go to the next village.

I look at the state of the horse.

The horse is a little shaken up by the king of the forest but it seems to be able to run without any problem.

I pat it on the neck and give a signal with my foot.

Accelerating faster and faster, I feel like it’s running the fastest it has ever run.

I look at his lordship-sama and the king of the forest.

「It’s amazing that they still have a lot to spare.」

「Yeah.」

Cafiret replies to my words.

Kimir also glanced behind and nodded.

I’m impressed that they can afford to go this fast.
