Just as the sun was sinking beneath the horizon, we reached our stopping point for the day. Our first day at the emperor’s side had gone smoothly. There were no monsters, bandits, or dragons. Even Franz seemed relieved.

“We were graced with a day of nothingness. Sir.”

“Did we get a positive after adding two negatives?” I wondered, perfectly at ease.

“N-No, it’s just that we had two abnormal days!” Kris said in a trembling voice. “Yesterday we had ten times more monsters than guards! Sir!”

“Are Starlight allowed to accept escort quests?”

“I’m going to hit you.”

One one hand, they’re always belittling humans. On the other, they’re all beautiful. Maybe there are people who hire them.

Franz dispatched a gopher on some minor duty, then turned toward us.

“Hmm. Nothing happened today,” he said, glaring at me. “And nothing was incited.”

“We’re not even halfway done,” I said with a hard-boiled look. “Complacency kills. It’s when you feel safest that you’re the most vulnerable.”

“I already knew that,” he grumbled.

I sighed and looked around the town. It was small but developed. Even in Zebrudia, not every locale was necessarily a prosperous one. I wondered if someone deliberately chose a route that passed through the better-off areas. Then I began to wonder if someone could have used that pattern to deduce our route. Someone could figure out the caravan’s path without even needing to use a spy. It was unusual for me, but I thought hard about this.

But then I noticed something. I saw a sign with the town’s name on it. The name seemed familiar, and eventually I realized where I knew it from. It belonged to a town famous among connoisseurs for its production of amiuz nuts.

Amiuz were a unique variety of nuts. A certain trait of theirs made them unpopular with hunters, but I absolutely loved amiuz cake. They were hard to find in the imperial capital, so I hadn’t had any amiuz nuts in a while. Now that I was in a town famous for them, I wanted to take the opportunity to indulge a bit.

We had already reached the town and the Counter Cascade and Sir Killigan could protect the emperor. So could Kechachakka. Kris, well, I decided to take her with me as my protection.

“Franz, is it okay if I step out for a bit?” I asked in a cheerful voice.

“Hm? Is there something you need to do?”

“Call it a little errand. I won’t be gone long. Besides, Telm and Kechachakka are here, and you rely on them.”

I had plenty of spending money. Eva and Sitri had made sure of that. Franz grimaced at me, but eventually he let out a sigh.

“Oh, fine. But be quick about it.”

“I will. And thanks.”

“And do something about that flippant outfit!”

There’s nothing I can do. Forgive me.

Perfectly comfortable, I took Kris and stepped out into town.

***

Kechachakka watched him closely. With that very dour Noble Spirit, Kris was her name, at his side, the Thousand Tricks headed off somewhere, still wearing that flippant outfit of his. Kechachakka wanted to follow him, but tailing a Level 8 hunter was beyond the abilities of most Magi.
