"... oh, that's crazy...?

When we are sloppy in the carriage, we hear such a solitaire from your stand.

It is the voice of your son Ya 'Tool.

I'm worried about you. I put my face in front of you.

"... what's going on?

When he asks, Yatool tells me with a troubled look.

"Oh, Lent's husband. It's crazy. The road... it's supposed to fit this way, but I feel like the scenery is different from usual. As usual, it's time to see the settlement..."

"It's not your fault? Hobgoblin stopped me and I just missed my sense of distance or something."

"... hmm. Right? I don't know. It's just, from here on out, why don't my husband put his face out of his front and look out once in a while? If something's wrong, just tell me right away."

I said that.

I nod, go back to the front and tell Lorraine and Augley about his concerns.

"Hi. I hear you're getting lost. He wants us to be careful."

Then Augley leaned her neck,

"... that? The forthcoming settlement...... was the journey to Luza Village that easy? I'm pretty sure it's not the main road, but I'm not supposed to get lost like that."

say.

Certainly there are several branches in the street, and if you don't make the right choice about it, you get to the point where you don't know why.

Wrong branch of it, if that means, well, it's not strange that it does.

But it wasn't even that complicated of a branch, and in the first place Yatool is a pedestrian who has traveled this road more than once.

Yeah, well, if you're going the wrong way, that's what you can't eat.

"... being attacked by a horde of hobgoblins, for God's sake, as long as we're going down the streets around here, there's not much to it. Isn't that what made you feel so mad? However, whatever the demons are,“ no merchant has ever been attacked by a bandit ", he also says. I don't think merchants or anything like that seem to drive the sense of direction crazy..."

Lorraine, who speaks of what is often said among merchants and tilts her neck.

Few pedestrians have the ability to fight like adventurers, but still have the minimum ability to defend themselves.

The merchants themselves may take their weapons and fight with the mercenaries and adventurers of the escorts if they organize their caravans.

Merchants accustomed to such a training ground have much more liver than the humans around them.

It is therefore not a major mental blow, such as a little danger.

Yet...... so.

"If I suspect anything..."

Lorraine continued with a mockery on her cheek.

"What?

When I ask, Lorraine answers.

"That's a possibility that you're under some kind of illusion. Then the sensation went crazy, and as a result, I went the wrong way, so I'm convinced."

"Fantasy? Do you mean magic?

Augley asks, but Lorraine shook her neck sideways on this.

"No. You don't feel any signs of witchcraft. Then I'll be quick to notice. Other ways I guess...... drugs or something?

"Medicine... but if so, when the hell?

The question that came out of Augley's mouth was natural, but Lorraine shook her neck to the side.

"I don't know that. Earlier, maybe when we were a little away from the carriage, and it's possible that they had made us drink something since we were in King's Capital in the first place. I can't help pursuing it."

That means they might have been using slow-acting drugs.

There is no chance of that.

Not really...

"Even if it is, why did you do that to Yatool?

That's what I say with my neck tilted.

It may be a rude story, but Yatool may certainly be somewhat wealthy compared to the average king city citizen, but I also don't think it's worth it to go out of your way to do something about it.

Lorraine answers this while thinking a little bit.

"You don't know that either. Maybe they resent something and... oh, there's a line that says they targeted us. But is this subtle? In the first place, we were mostly together after we decided to have him on Yatool's carriage. If it was after us, it would be. But that wasn't the time I had to give him something to drink... and if you insist, it was about the time of the battle earlier..."

"If you're right, there's still a chance the guy who gave Yatool something to drink nearby."

"Well. But they're all talking about possibilities. Sometimes an outgoing Ya Tool is just a directional tone deafness... you'll have to look into Ya Tool once to confirm it"

"So is that. You want to stop it now?

When I asked them that, Augley put his neck out of front, and I thought about it a little bit.

"... it's time for the sun to set. If it's true, it'll be time to be in the settlement already, and I think Ya Tool has offered to stay in the wild. Wouldn't that be a good time to find out?

It's a swallowing story, which may mean, but if the person is observing this carriage around him as someone who gave Yatool something to drink, he may be suspected of suddenly stopping.

It would be easier to take the method of stopping in situations where it is not strange.

I'm going to storm into it in a very weird direction, and if anything happens, I'll stop it immediately, of course, but that would be fine for now.

And after a while, it will be just as Augley predicted.

"... husband. I'm sorry. I thought I was going the wrong way. I don't think I'll make it to the settlement no matter how hard I try today. So I'd like to make it wild around here...?

We nod and answer to this.

"No, I don't mind. I'm just saying, do you know where you are?

"... that's a little suspicious, too. Sorry...... just should know if you go back somewhat. Oh, yeah. It's the fare, but this is what happened because of me. I'll give it back later. Of course, we'll make sure you get to your destination…"

Ya tool who says that in a nagging way.

I get the feeling that this could really just be directional tone deafness.

Anyway, as of today, Nojuku is at the stop point.

Looks like Ya Tool was going to provide us with a preserved meal, but even if we don't do that, we're bringing good food.

There are cooking tools in the magic bag, and it is in Nojuku, but I was delighted when I said that I would like to eat with you because I can provide a meal there.
