After forging a sword for Vector, I spent my days as usual, purchasing a sizeable amount of steel through master and forged nurous material swords for a few weeks.
A large-scale subjugation request for the Master of Winter was issued shortly after the beginning of November. The conditions for the participants had been decided, but I already knew I wouldnt qualify for it from the beginning. Honestly, I didnt really care about the details, so lets skip it.
However, I beca increasingly uneasy when that kind of information circulated.
Would the sword I forge be able to defeat that monster? But then, its not like Vector was fighting alone. He was with many other adventures and Knights Order, so they should be able to manage it sohow, but What if they couldnt defeat it? What was their plan for the town residents evacuation?
I collected various information only to find out that ONeill residents didnt really have any evacuation plans. So people voluntarily evacuated to other towns to live with their relatives and acquaintances, but the administration didnt take any asures.
Even if the evacuation recomndation was issued after the subjugation failed, wasnt it too unreasonable to make the orphans run in the middle of winter? Not to ntion, with how the Master of Winter influenced the weather and caused heavy snow? What are they thinking?
However, I realized that most people didnt have anyone to rely on, and they also had their daily lives. It would be difficult to move to another place while spending money to prepare for winter.
Considering all the things I said, I guess the way they responded to this problem wasnt wrong. Its appropriate? The orphans didnt have any place to escape
Ahhh, what should I do
After gathering enough information, I ended up getting more and more worried. I couldnt even do my blacksmith training for a few days because of that. Then, Triela and the girl mbers ca to visit .
Ren, lets go with us!
Huh? What do you an? I dont understand.
Once I heard the story, Triela and the others heard about the subjugation of the Master of Winter, so they went back once to see the situation of the orphanage. And if the subjugation was unsuccessful, they would escape with everyone.
I see, I could do that!
The ones who wanted to invite were Rico, Arle, and Kuro. And the ones who opposed were Triela, Maricle, Ryuu, and Cain. As always, Boman didnt have any opinion.
The reason they opposed was, of course, to prevent from being exposed to the investor rchant. According to Triela, everyone in the orphanage wouldnt reveal anything about . Even so, there were possibilities that the townspeople might spot and make rumors.
Sounds like I was popular I didnt notice that at all.
Even if I hide my face, I would look suspicious since I ca with Trielas team. The children in the town might talk to their parents about .
That rchant also had a small branch in ONeill, so the staff there might know about from the townspeoples small talk Hmm, they were right.
But after I heard that they went to help them evacuate in an ergency, I had decided that I would go. I was so worried that I couldnt do anything else, plus I couldnt just send them away. Itll be fine as long as I dont enter the town.
Thats why I went with them.
Are you sure? They might find you out, Ren. Its fine, Triela. I have my plans too.
There was a deep forest so distance away from ONeill town, so I could place my house there and camp there. Thats no longer camping? Hey, Im going to sleep outside the city, so its still camping, right? That being said, I wouldnt tell Triela about my plan now.
Since Trielas preparations were almost finished, they left the royal capital the next day. Master and the people in the workshop made a sour face, but they didnt oppose when I told them I was worried about the city where I grew up and the safety of my forr teacher.
After preparing a lot of things, all of us gathered in front of the west gate. Then we started our journey on foot for a while.
Triela and her team told they deposited the key with the landlord for the ti being. They also paid the rent in advance and asked them to maintain the house. They brought their food with them and left the firewood and daily necessities. Other than that, they brought only the minimum amount of winter clothes and camp equipnt such as blankets and fur. Thats why the boys carried large luggage.
It was now the middle of November, and the snow had fallen. To be honest, walking on foot from here to there was normally like asking to die.
However, materials such as foodstuffs were now being transported to ONeill, so the snow on the road was flat, making the journey better than usual. But so places were still ssed up and muddy, so I wouldnt advise anyone to do this.
Well, I wouldnt walk on that kind of road. I had no physical strength. Even now, I was riding on Norn.
Thats why I searched if there was a forest so distance from the road after an hours walk from the royal capital. Yup, I planned to put out my carriage.
Ren, are you looking for sothing?
When I stopped to look around, Arle called out.
Im wondering if theres a forest with an obscure view. Ah, you want to go to the toilet? I guess its cold.
Youre wrong! Thats not it!
Even if I lightly denied it, she didnt believe . I gave up trying to persuade her. But all the other girls said that they would like to take a toilet break, so everyone found a suitable forest.
How troubleso. Just do your business around there. Boman, youre an idiot! You shouldnt say sothing like that now! Youre hopeless! Ryuu ridiculed How painful. Its cold, and I want to sleep.
Boman he was still useless. And it impressed that Ryuu said such a gentlemanly thing. But I think it would have been better for him to keep his voice down so we couldnt hear him.
After around fifteen minutes, we finally found a nice forest. All the girls went to the shadow of the bushes and the boys waited for us on the highway. Seems like they also wanted to go to the toilet too, but they prioritized the girls. Boys could endure it better than girls, right? Hang in there!
While the girls other than finished their business in order, I took out my carriage from my [Storage]. By the way, I made various improvents to enhance the performance when I was in the workshop.
And when I took it out, everyone was surprised.
W-what is this!? A carriage. Where does this carriage co from wait, is that a horse!? Its a golem. Everyone, are you done? Its cold, so quickly get on. Wait, wait, wait!?
Its a pain to explain, so I tried to push them in and return to the highway imdiately, but their rejection was so intense that I had no choice but to sit on the coachmans seat alone And the boys who saw the carriage had the sa reaction as Triela and the girls. Im tired of that reaction, so lets just move now?
Since making an explanation was too troubleso, I hurried them to just get inside already. In the end, I sohow made them ride the carriage.
By the way, only girls were in the carriage. The boys could walk! 1
