You there! Stop!

We were surrounded by guards with spears at the ready and we stopped walking.

The merchants and guards who were with us on the way here told us many stories. Of course there were things I knew about bear peddlers and adventurers, but I didn't know how to get into the town in a carriage, and so on, so that was helpful.

In fact, they went with me to the gate, so I was able to enter the town smoothly. ........it was supposed to be.

The gates of the town were jammed with carriages loaded with farm produce from nearby farming villages. However, since the cargo was agricultural produce, it didn't take long for the inspection to take place and we didn't have to wait that long to get our turn. We were almost to the gatekeeper's office when guards with spears came running up to us and pointed their spears at us.

'What do you mean by this?'

A bear peddler spoke to the guards on behalf of us. Yeah, I had to think about who to talk to in a situation like this.

'Mm, I wanted to ask you about that wolf over there, I'm sorry, but we'll deal with it as it is.

Yes, I understand.

So, these wolves are your followers, right?

'Yes, I do. We don't attack people.

Yeah, those wolves are smart enough to know better.

He didn't bark at us either, and he was a good kid.

Yeah, but even a squire can't let a wolf into town!

The merchants and guards who were in line with us also defended us, but it seems that we still can't get the queens into the town. Even though it's as expected, it's troubling. I've been warned by some merchants that I've become friends with.

In Frey's town, the townspeople may have been used to seeing a lot of followers, but the merchants and adventurers were surprised many times on the way to walk the streets. Each time I had to explain that it was a servant, so I did not cause any problems.

It did not take long to explain to a small number of villagers to explain that there were no major problems in the rural village was also surprised. Maybe it was good to have a banquet, too. But as expected in a town this big, it would be hard to explain, so there might be a commotion. That's what the merchants had told me.

''Then what should we do?''

'Well, we'll have to get you camped out away from the gate or keep you at the guard's station, but either way, we'll need someone to be there.

All right, then, I need to have a little discussion with my colleagues.

All right. When you're done talking to me, talk to someone at the gate.

With that, the guards returned to the gate.

We left the line so that we wouldn't be in the way too. We also remembered to thank the merchants as we left. You never know where these connections will come in handy.

'So what do you do now?'

Well, it was expected that we wouldn't be able to get in, so why don't we just stay in the field?

Yeah. We'll take turns with a couple of guys and I'll be fine.

The queens wouldn't have been attacked.

So the discussion was soon over. I had originally decided on some things, so I just had to check.

'Ah! Come to think of it, what am I supposed to do about those step horses and Peechan?

The guards only mentioned the queens, so I forgot all about it.

When I went to the gate and told them that the queens will be camping out, I checked with them, and they said that they can go outside if they can, and the stephorses can do what they normally do. I heard that some noblemen and big merchants sometimes have stephorses and other monsters with them. There were millhorns in the village of Cheese as well, so where there are, there may be followers.

After that, we hurriedly prepared for the camp and asked the queens to stay as quiet as possible before we could enter the town.
