Chapter 27: Escort Quest
Translated by kuronochan
Morning came.
I slowly opened my eyes.
There is no one other than me.
Laura and Femil is sleeping separately with me.
The reason is that I might attack them if we slept together.
I wore clothes and went out to the corridor.
Femil and Laura are standing there.
"Good morning! Kehma!"
"Good morning. Kehma-sama......"
Laura was the usual Laura, but Femil was fidgeting.
"This is the morning's......panties............"
She closed her eyes and raised her skirt.
The white panties with pink ribbon was shown in public.
"Auu............"
She flushed her face and looked very embarrassed, her whole body trembled as well.
Her eyelashes which were wet with the tears in the corner of her eyes were the cutest.
"If you're that embarrassed, you don't need to push yourself though......"
"Even so, it is the panties Kehma-sama bought for me, so......"
How lovable.
On the other hand, Laura wasーー.
"I'm holding it properly, like a treasure!!!"
She spread the white and blue striped panties with her hands.
Bashi!, I chopped Laura.
"Wear it for God's sake!!"
"Fumyaan!!"
Laura who was teary eyed said while she held her head with both hands.
"It's the first present that I got from Kehma, so I don't want to make it dirty......"
The idiot goddess was an idiot but lovable.
"Oppositely, I think that wearing it is for the best, since he bought it for us......pyon."
"That's why we decided with the two of us."
"We thought that there might be a balance, if I wear it, and Laura-san does not......"
".....................I see."
There were so many things that are somewhat wrong, but I felt that I shouldn't mind it because it was that much.
I stopped pointing that out, and we went to the Guild.
Although, Femil can already take care of herself, so we're planning on taking different quests.
◆
"Hello, Kehma-san."
When we arrived at the Guild, the receptionist Onee-san called out to me.
"There is a designated quest for you."
"What kind of quest is it?"
"It is this kind of quest."
Quest
It's me who you helped sometime before, it's Lilina Highlord.
I want you to escort a carriage.
Difficulty
There should be no problem with your skills.
Rewards
I'm thinking of 20000 Barse per day.
Details
It is a round trip and would probably take half a month.
We will prepare the food and clothes, so just ready yourself.
"It's not written what is going to be brought and where it is going to be sent huh."
"However, this is a quest that passed through our Guild.
Kehma-sama and the others would not be forced to take responsibility even if it was a case where illegal drugs or illegal slaves were being carried."
"Carrying illegal drugs? Is that, even if we noticed it on the way?"
"You will not be asked for responsibility."
"Do you know the probability of accidents with the similar quests that Lilina-san put out?"
"Please wait for a moment."
Onee-san went back and returned holding records.
"If it is for escort quests, there were 386 quests that were approved, and there is 10% probability to be lightly injured.
3% to be heavily injured, and 0% for death."
"It's low huh."
"There is a person who investigates the data of the monsters or thieves and bandits that would appear, so there is enough safety margin."
"That person's probably quite good."
"Lilina-san is also a heavyweight within the Golden Prairie, so."
"I see."
"I-I-I-I really don't get it, is the conclusion Kehma is just that great because he is looked out by such person, enough?!!"
"Don't join if you don't get it."
"It's very sad you know! Not being able to follow the conversation!!"
"Are you a kid?!!"
I pinched Laura's cheek.
"Fumii??????????"
And when I was pinching Laura, Femil's appearance entered my sight.
She is holding her staff and seemed to be feeling sad.
However, when our eyes met, she immediately shook her head.
"P-P-P-P-Please do your best!!!"
"Are you fine not meeting me for half a month?"
"Auu......!!"
Femil gripped her chest and said with tears swelling in her eyes.
"I am fine............wan."
She repeated with a voice that it was as if she strained to make, as if to say it to herself.
"I am fine.........waaaaan."
Not mentioning half a month, Femil looked like she'd die with three days.
It can't be helped.
"Can I confirm the specific conditions before I accept the quest?"
"Yes."
I went to Lilina-san's place after receiving Onee-san's approval.
◆
"Hey, it's you huh."
"Yes, it is me."
"Since you're here, can I take itーーyou're going to accept the quest I put out?"
"About that......"
I pushed forward Femil who was fidgeting behind me.
"Can I bring this girl with us?"
"Femil Crocket huh."
"You know her?"
"On top of being enrolled at the academy, she's a Red Magician who is good with flames after all."
"It is like that huh."
"Flame Magic users have high demands from blacksmiths. Because on the other hand, there are only few who can use it within Dwalfs."
"I see."
"Especially that Femil-jou1, she had good behavior in the academy, having no records for being late or absent.
I don't mind her going with you.
I won't pay her salary, but I'll pay for her food."
"And so, like you heard......"
"I do not mind!!"
It was an instant answer.
"If I can stay by Kehma-sama's side, I'm fine even if there's no food!!!"
" " That's not good though...... " "
My voice overlapped with Lilina's.
"Hauuu???n! I'm so happy desuuu?.
Kehma-samaa?. I'm happy to be with him???????"
Where did our mutters go.
Femil stuck to me and rubbed and rubbed her face to me.
"By the way, if you'd decided you're going, I would be thankful if you move right now."
"Right now?"
"They say strike when the iron's hot after all."
"I don't mind?" (Laura)
"I'm fine too!!" (Femil)
"Well then, follow me."
I slowly started to walk and left the town.
There are three carriages there.
One carriage that doesn't have a hood and two carriages that have white hoods.
On top of that, the horses are equipped with silver armors.
"The person who would be on guard so that they can immediately enter battle in the front most carriage.
Those who are taking a break to the last carriageーーseparate yourselves like that."
"Yes."
I nodded.
A voice was heard from inside the carriage.
"Aneue2, you're such a worrywart."
It is a girl with elf ears and almond eyes, and silver hair cut short.
She has a cold air around her that feels like it would lower the surrounding temperature by three degrees.
"Let me worry about you as your big sister."
"............"
The girl was completely silent.
However, her cheeks were slightly flushed.
It looks like she's a Onee-chan girl.
"Her name is Rorona Highlord.
Although we do not have the same blood, she is my little sister."
"I see."
I nodded and stared at Rorona.
Rorona narrowed her eyebrows to displeasure.
"Hmph......", she took out one gold coin and flipped it with her thumb.
She placed a hand on her sword.
She released four slashes as she drew it out and reaches out her sword below the gold coin.
The gold coin that fell on top of the sword was cut off into eight.
"Hmph...... Can you do it?"
"......that's impossible."
"If so, don't get on the way."
Rorona turned around and sat on the foremost carriage.
"She's a little sister like that, but she is not a bad girl. Can you do it moderately and properly."
"Yes, I understand."
I nodded and climbed into the carriage at the back.
I chewed the yellow colored apple that was like a lemon inside a basket
It's sour, but tastes good.
Tererettete?.
I leveled up too.
"Ne! Ne?, Kehma."
"What?"
"Can you really not do it? Splitting a gold coin into eight."
"It's a gold coin you know? Of course it's impossible, cutting something like that into pieces!"
"That kind of reason, huh......"
"It is that kind of reason."
I picked up the apple.
I made a stance with the fruit knife that was around.
Two flies entered my sight.
I threw the apple and released sword slashes.
The apple's skin got peeled off and fell into the bowl after becoming a sliced fruit.
At the same time, its seeds shot down the two flies.
It can be said that it's a master skill that cannot be compared to that of Rorona's.
"Amazing......"
"As expected, desu......?"
Laura got surprised, and Femil praised me honestly.
You're really cute?, the two of you.
1. 嬢 - miss (Femil) / missy / young lady / little girl
2. 姉上 - big or elder sister in a respectful form
