107 – Hylinx – (3)

Dag dag dag dag dag.

The wagon continued to rattle along.

Unlike the seat in front of her, where Seira sat, there were no safety devices in her luggage compartment to protect her from impact. As such, she had to make the arduous journey, relying on a single rope entwined at ankle height.

“Oooh.”

“Are you okay?”

At least I was fine because I was big, but Lyncia, like a small animal, rolled around in the swaying luggage compartment. There was no human pinball. In the end, I came out and grabbed Lynxia’s shoulders and held her between her legs.

She was fine up to that point, but Lynchia still had severe motion sickness.

Even for security and safety reasons, the luggage compartment was tightly closed. Since she couldn’t get outside, her motion sickness must have multiplied.

“F, Freed.”

“Yes.”

“I feel like throwing up… ….”

That’s a bit difficult.

I wrapped my arms around her side to keep her from shaking as much as possible.

“Hyuk.”

Sensing her touch on her sensitive area, Lynxia shuddered at her shoulders, but then she slumped like a cat on her sedative.

I wanted to joke a bit to ease the tension.

“Your Majesty, you know what?”

“What, what is it… ….”

“When Sat was drunk last time… ….”

Puck.

A small fist flew into my chin.

“Ouch.”

“Fried, that’s bad!”

“Worst.”

From noble mtl dot com

An evil word flew in from both sides one by one.

What did Seira say? A flower in both hands?

This is it? Where are you looking?

*

In the end, the journey continued for fifteen hours, ending at sunset. It was because I had to take a break.

Of course, a bigger reason than that was that Lysia and Yuria’s physical strength had gradually reached its limit.

Because there are some things that can’t be endured with only mental strength.

A post office located on the way to Highlings. On the other side of the road, a carriage was parked. We decided to stay in an inn room on the second floor.

Lincia and Yuria, who had suffered in the wagon all day long, were in a state of supercorpses by the time they got off the wagon.

As soon as she stepped on the ground, Lyncia stumbled. She came towards me and she flowed like a river, then stopped and stumbled back to the other side. That’s understandable, since she’s only been on solid ground for a full day.

“Your Majesty, can you help me?”

“All right, all right. I will take care of it.”

I was bitterly rejected.

I think the joke earlier was a mistake. It must have been that he was deeply offended, so he hadn’t talked to me much since then.

Of course, the bigger thing was that he wasn’t in a good condition to have a conversation.

“Ahh.”

Lynn Xia grabbed her head and groaned in pain. She couldn’t just watch, so she wrapped her arms around her shoulders and lifted her up.

“That, stop!”

Lynxia hissed as she hung by the scruff of her neck like a caught cat, but she lightly ignored it and climbed the stairs.

The eyes of the people at the inn were focused in this direction. By that time, Lin Xia was also ashamed, her face flushed like a blush, and she pulled the hood of her head up to her eyes.

“Hmm.”

The second-floor room we arrived at was modest, but it had everything we needed. One twin bed, one table, and one wardrobe and grandfather clock.

If you treat it well, it’s about the same as my guard’s quarters.

The first floor was like an inn/tavern where merchants were mingling and sleeping, but I couldn’t bring myself to sleep in a place like that.

Seira and Yuria decided to share the next room. For now, Yuria is also cooperating with us, but she has a history of aiming for Lyncia’s life. It was decided that Seira would keep an eye on her in case something mishap happened to her.

“Please wait a moment. I will bring you a meal.”

Leaving Lyncia behind her, who was sitting on her bed and breathing heavily, I turned to the first floor.

*

Left alone in her room, Lynxia Ern placed her hand on her still-dubious forehead. She felt sick to her stomach and felt like she was about to vomit.

She opened the wooden window to get some fresh air. Then, what unfolded in front of her eyes was the sunset that could be seen over the horizon.

“… ….”

And at that beautiful scenery, Lyncia was inadvertently mesmerized.

It was only after seeing this scene that Lynxia realized that she had left her imperial palace.

What eventually comes out is pure laughter.

Although the trip was made with the lofty purpose of going to deal with her apostle, it was like a dream for Lyncia, who had grown up confined in the imperial palace since childhood.

Drreuk.

After Lyn Xia dragged her chair to her chair, she looked at the scenery outside.

Although it was modest and shabby compared to the imperial palace’s bedroom, it smelled musty somewhere, but my heart felt more comfortable than ever.

The biggest reason for her was, of course, thanks to the person who stood by her side.

“Freed.”

It contains his name.

A funny face came to mind.

It also reminded me of her struggling to protect herself even as she was covered with scars.

Lin Xia pulled out her black dagger from her sleeve. The treasured sword of the Iscobal family. A gift that Fried gave to himself in the underground water canal.

She ran her finger across the scabbard.

For some reason, a corner of her chest ached.

“…… Oath.”

Lyncia muttered naturally.

She tried to keep her mouth shut as much as possible, but she was fine now that she was alone.

Obviously, Fried signed a pact with the foreign press that he must kill himself. According to the apostle, this could never be denied.

That’s what I mean.

“… ….”

The nightmares I had recently.

It’s gotten a bit less now, but that one scene was firmly embedded in Lynchia’s mind.

A chill came in and he wrapped his arms around her shoulders. A sense of dread came over her, and she closed her window and went over to her bed and wrapped her blanket around her.

And.

“What?”

Lin Xia opened her eyes wide.

When she came to her room in Fried’s rugged hand, she was so distracted that she didn’t notice. But now that she was left alone in the room and trying to keep her spirits together, a cold sense of reality came over her.

The reason she was surprised was as follows.

“The bed…… Is it one?”

She swept the bed on which she sat.

A rough blanket is touched. There are probably straw bales under it. It wasn’t the best quality, but it was a good enough bed to sleep in.

The problem was its size. Not very big. Even when Lynxia, who was small in size, was lying horizontally, her hands and feet could reach her ends.

You sleep here? With who? With Fried?

Really?

“…… Uh huh?”

The dagger fell suddenly.

Just then, the sound of leggings clattering up the stairs began to be heard from outside the door. There was no way he wouldn’t have realized that it was the sound of Fried coming up with a dish.

“Uh, uh uh.”

Lyncia hurriedly stood up. She then straightened her dress, looked in her hand mirror and straightened her tousled hair.

She didn’t know why she was doing this. She felt like, anyway, she needed to be groomed.

What came to her mind as she hurriedly tidied up her seat was a word that Seira put into her mouth right before she left.

‘No~? Fried-kun is scarier than that. No need to ask a doctor! And eats them up.’

“…… *Hiccup*.”

*

“I don’t know if it will be okay.”

I muttered in my old age as I carried the dishes.

I couldn’t help but admit that the food I ate after being possessed in this world was all at a decent level.

It was because, after eating only the delicacies of the imperial palace, he took out the inn food eaten by the common people, and clearly felt the enormous gap.

“Um.”

Four loaves of hard bread. And a handful of mushy codfish floating in corn soup. That was all for this dinner.

Of course, considering that it is the price of four fairy tales, it can be said that the value for money is quite good, but it was meaningless if there was no taste.

Looking at it, they seem to be sparing on salt, but I don’t know if it will suit Lyncia’s taste, as she is almost trained in imperial palace food.

I stood at the door and knocked.

Then there was a crackling sound from inside, followed by the sound of a latch on the door swinging open.

Still, it was fortunate that the locks at this inn worked properly.

Kikik.

Before long, through the crack in the open door, Lin Xia peeked out her face.

Perhaps he still has motion sickness, his face was red.

“I brought food.”

“Yes, yes, yes yes. Come on in.”

Even after entering the room, Lincia was still flustered. She couldn’t pull a chair properly, so I dragged it in her place, and she hesitated and sat down.

And only her head was lowered.

Are you still pouting? She is a very long empress.

I thoughtlessly took the bread and took a bite.

I frowned at the expected taste.

“As expected, there is nothing to eat.”

When she let out a sigh, Lin Xia flinched.

She lifted her head slightly and gave me a sidelong glance.

“Why is that?”

“Oh, no.”

“Do you not eat?”

“…… Yes, yes.”

Well, since I have such a sophisticated taste, there is no way that cheap food like this will catch my eye. I guess I’ll have to look for something better next time.

I picked up the bread in front of Lincia.

It was a meal without the taste buds, but I couldn’t help but eat it. Fried’s body needed a lot of calories to maintain.

“Can I eat it?”

“…… Yes? What, what?”

Lyncia opened her eyes wide in response to the word eat.

Before long, she looked at the bread in my hand and shook her head up and down with a slightly relieved look in her eyes.

“…… Mmm. Are there any inconveniences?”

Her face looked very red, which didn’t look good. It’s not like he has a fever, is the motion sickness that bad?

I leaned forward and carefully looked at Lyncia’s face.

“Gu, guaaa!”

Lin Xia was so startled that she couldn’t help but hit her heel on the leg of her bed.

“Ugh.”

Then Lynthia grabbed her feet and fell on the bed, groaning softly.

Judging by the tiny water droplets forming on the corners of her eyes, it seemed that she was in quite a bit of pain.

“…… Why are you doing that?”

Watching the skit, I shook my head.

As expected, our Lynthia became strange.
