A carriage is making its way along the highway.
　The carriage was pulled by two large warhorses around it compared to regular horses, and the speed at which it was pulled was incomparably faster than that of regular horses.
　Furthermore, a set, a glyphon, walks beside such a carriage, checking the surroundings.
　Looking at the situation, Tufal, who is also an elderly coachman, controlled the War Horse well so that it did not get too tired or slow down.
　At the same time, Seto was also keeping an eye on the surroundings, so he didn't have to worry about being attacked by anyone other than a much-brained monster or bandit.
　Even Warhorse is dealing with Seto, who has acted with him many times, so there is no need to be frightened, even though he is a little nervous.
　His birth as a warhorse and his subsequent environment may also be influencing him.

"Well, it's almost dark,"

　Two-fals mutter as they look at the setting sun.
　It was during the sunset that we left the village in the first place. It was about time we started preparing for the camp, even though it had only been about an hour since we left.
　It is, however, a horse-drawn carriage, which, in spite of its hour of departure, is also a magic item, and the sooner it is counted from above, the better Warhorse in the Duke of Quelevel. Warhorse health, highway conditions, weather, and other factors are involved, but the speed can be about three to five times faster than that of a horse-drawn carriage used by a typical merchant. Elena also decided to leave the village even though it was close to evening because she knew it.
　Still, it was difficult to go down the road all night without any lights.
　Of course, it is not uncommon to rely on moonlight or starlight to travel along a highway when a messenger like a fast horse is needed. However, as for this trip to the labyrinthine city, you don't have to go that far because you don't need to travel all night long.
　As for horse fatigue, the magic item horse-drawn effect can reduce it considerably, but it is still impossible to get rid of it completely.
　Thinking of them, Tufal calls out into the carriage.

"My dear lady, I should like to get ready for the camp,"
"Well, it's getting quite dark. With this carriage and Ray's magic tent, we'll have no trouble with the lights, but certainly we'd better get ready for the camp. Two-fal, if you find a good spot in the camp, pull over."

　That's what Elena told me from inside, but it was a little bit of a mess in the carriage.
　In the first place, Elena was a Duchess, and at the same time a warrior nicknamed Hime Shogun. Naturally, I've done very little cooking or making tea. I mean...

"Look, I'll take your place,"
"But... I'm sorry,"

　Elena, who breathes regretfully and gives Ray the instrument to make his tea.
　The least salvation is that Elena's expression of regret had an unusual beauty.
　With that in mind, Ray makes tea with the instruments he receives.
　It's almost the first time for Ray to make tea with a special instrument, let alone boiling water in a pot. However, I have seen it several times in the cafeteria, and I have made green tea when I was in Japan. With that in mind, it was still better than Elena, even though she specialized in drinking.
　It was, however, only better than Elena's, and certainly not delicious.

"Yes, it's delicious,"

　But Elena carries such tea to her mouth with a small smile.
　Elena always has a dignified atmosphere, but she smiled happily, not so much as a princess general as a daughter of her age.
　At Elena's appearance, Ray looks away and opens his mouth shyly, even though his cheeks are slightly red.

"I always drink the tea that Arla makes, so it can't be delicious, can it?" You don't have to flatter me."
"It's true that Arra's tea, which she always makes, is delicious, but it's still the tea that Ray made for me, isn't it?"
"...I see,"

　To that Elena's words, Ray replies briefly.
　Elena may have also noticed what she said. His cheeks turn pale red and he looks away from Ray restlessly.
　If there was a third party here, in the atmosphere that made them want to writhe in too much space... as if to help them, they noticed the horse-drawn carriage slowing down.
　Magic items are probably the reason why you can feel the movement of a carriage even when the interior of the carriage is expanded considerably by spatial magic.

"Lady, Ray, there is a forest beside the road. How about spending the night there?"
"Well, that's a good idea. I'll leave it to you."
"Yes, sir,"

　Elena's reply to Tufal's words finally dispelled the indescribable atmosphere of the carriage.
　The carriage then pulled up near the forest and dinner was ready.
　Having said that, they only served the food in Ray's mistling and grilled the sausages given to them by the owner of the bar over a bonfire.

"It's delicious, as I thought. I have nothing to brag about."

　Elena takes a bite of lightly scorched sausage and mutters in admiration.
　Ray and Tufal alike looked impressed after a bite of sausage.
　Ray's expression is particularly variable. That's because Ray was eating sausages served to the shopkeeper for breakfast. But even though they looked like the same sausage, they tasted completely different.

(This is... I see. He has at least a mind, I can't he?

　He probably gave the best of the sausages he made. in the hope of getting their former boss to travel a little comfortably
　Smiling at the bar owner's inept kindness in a way, Ray savors the thoughtful sausage.
　After that, they made simple hot dogs with cuts in freshly baked bread, grilled long-boiled soup and fish purchased at Emocion with salt, and ate extravagant meals that were almost impossible to imagine as camp meals.

"No, I'm surprised that Mr. Ray had an item box, but I'm surprised that he could have such a luxurious meal in the camp."

　It was a two-fal to tell her admiration, but Ray still has no intention of ending the surprise.
　Using a flowing dagger taken out of the mistling, next to Seto, who is eating a bicorn block of meat cooked by Ray using the magic of fire to burn only the surface, fill three cups and a pan with water and hand them to each.
　And...

"The water is... so delicious..."

　Elena expressed her astonishment as much as she did when she ate sausages, and her expression was indescribable when it came to two-fals.
　Watching them, Ray also carries his glass to his mouth.
　No matter how delicious the water is, you'll get used to it after drinking it over and over again. That's why I don't show any surprise to the two of them, but I guess what's delicious is still delicious food is delicious. Ray also has a satisfied look on his face.
　Seth, too, had eaten up the bicorn meat, and then dipped the bean paste into the pot to tastefully drain the so-called heavenly sweet dew.
　Elena and Tufal, who eventually returned from the shocking taste of the water, are asked what the water is, and after explaining that the water was created by magic items, they talk about each other after the Bestian War with strange expressions of satisfaction.

"Is it Ray who knocked down the Lem Race, which is said to have blocked Emocion? ...no, isn't it strange considering Ray's ability? I once fought against Claken in Emosion with the axe of the God of Thunder."
"Oh, come to think of it, I told you when I first met you,"
"Well, I wonder what happened then when Kraken came up to the harbor. Rumor has it that Remrace was still on the seabed and never came out on the water. How did you knock him down?"

　glance around at Elena's words
　Two-fal had been listening to Ray some time ago, but now Elena is not here to get ready to sleep in the carriage.
　Only Ray and Elena are here, and two and two of them, Seto, who serves as Ray's sofa, and Yero, who are fast asleep on Ray's back. And Elena is one of the few people who knows the truth about herself and Seto, and deserves trust. Ray therefore talks about how he pulled the REM race to the ground.

"Do you remember the Grimm we met at the dungeon?"
"Grimm? I think it was Rich's name."
"Yes, and as I saw on my way out of the dungeon, I have a convenient way to get in touch with Grimm. And Grimm can use spatial magic as he experienced when escaping from the dungeon. I mean...Now that you've come to that point, Elena could have understood. nod convincingly

"I see. Is it possible to force a rumored Lemrace monster into space if it's that rich?"
"Don't do that. Now that we're on the ground, anyone can attack us, so we beat him with a special party. --I didn't think he was as long as 30 meters."
"Well, I've heard about it. I hear that everything is definitely above rank B, but not above rank A... I've heard that guilds are still discussing what to do about rank."

　Hasn't it been decided yet... Ray takes the guild card out of the mystery ring.

"So, he successfully promoted himself to Rank B after taking the upgrade examination in recognition of his achievements in the Spring War and the subjugation of Rem Race."
"...not to mention the fighting power, but you've got a good pass for civility."
"To be honest, there's a subtle feeling about it." and if he is to receive a request from the nobles, and they care about it, he will send an assistant from the guild."

　Elena laughs bitterly at Ray's explanation.
　Elena herself doesn't care about Ray's language, but there are aristocrats everywhere who are proud of themselves. With that in mind, Guild's judgment must have been right. After all, considering his military strength alone, he has the ability to be a Rank A.
　That's why Elena thinks so, and the next moment she's surprised at what she says.

"Come to think of it, I made friends with an interesting aristocrat before the rank-up exam."
"Friends? What I say, but there were also rare nobles."

　At this point, though I was surprised, I thought that my friend's aristocrat was a man. However, when he hears the name of the aristocrat he became his friend, he looks surprised again.

"Marca Quent, a child who's not even ten years old. Do you know that he is the heir to the Duke of Quent?"
"Marca Quent? Of course I know. You seem to have a high magical background even though you are still young. What's that? I'm famous for my martial arts, but Miss Marka is famous for her magical talent and ingenuity. He is said to have mastered many attributes of magic, and to be a great wizard in the future. Besides... the Duke and Duchess of Quent are important figures in the royal faction, the largest faction in the kingdom of Mileana. If you look at it from an objective standpoint, it is safe to say that you are above my father and Dusker."
"Well, apparently he was much bigger than I had expected. He had an innocent personality and seemed to be nothing but his favorite child."

　Mumbling, patting Seto's face gently so that he wouldn't wake up the sleeping yellow on his back, Ray remembers Marka playing with Seto.
　Seen from the side, it looked like a normal child. It seemed to be no different from the children of the inhabitants who were playing with Seto in guillem.

"Well, Miss Marka is known to all who know her, but not many people would think of her like Ray."

　I don't regard nobles as aristocrats. That alone would have been unforgivable to Elena as a symbol of the aristocracy, but it seemed to Elena that such an attitude as the privilege of a girl in love would have been irreplaceable to Elena.
　Thus they slowly pass by until two fellas come out of the carriage that they are ready to go to bed.
