“Shun-oniichan, how do we proceed from here?”
“We’ll get through the Southern Frontier Margravate in three days, then pass through a viscount’s territory and small fiefdoms in four days, then after that, we will finally enter the Eastern Frontier Margravate. Then in three days, we should reach the big town.”
“Oh, I see.”
Passing through the town’s defense wall, the horse-drawn carriage slowly rocks us along the road. From here, it will be a 10-day carriage journey, so there’s no need for us to rush and leave it up to the horses.
“But we’re also really lucky. I didn’t expect we’d end up going together with a goblin hunter.”
“Mmm, it also means that our safety on the road has been ensured.”
“What’s more, to think that the goblin hunter is such a cute little girl.”
“Ehehe!”
It seems that word of our defeat of the goblin horde has spread throughout the town, and we’ve become quite famous. Shiro is also being stroked on the head by a passenger uncle, and she and Ao are beaming with joy.
Well, you really wouldn’t think that a little girl like her would be able to defeat a Goblin General with a heel drop.
Sometimes we made a stop to give the horse a break, but it’s quite a pain in the butt because we are just sitting there all the time.
“In the next stop, it would be better to buy a cushion.”
“That’s right, my butt hurts.”
Shiro and Ao are fine, but Sue and I have a sore butt, so I decided to buy a cushion.
But all in all, it’s an idyllic road.
The Margrave told me before that he regularly makes his soldiers hunt monsters near the main road that is why it is quite safe here. There are only signs of ordinary animals in the vicinity, and there is no sign of danger.
Shiro and Ao are lounging in the field. Plants and trees are now starting to sprout, so it really feels like spring is near.
“Mmmm,(mumble, mumble).”
“Shiro-chan fell asleep.”
“I think that’s because they thought this was a safe place.”
Before I knew it, Shiro fell asleep in the field, so I decided to put her back in a carriage and let her sleep there.
After that, the carriage continued to move forward and then we arrived at the first village, which also served as a stopover area, without any major trouble.
“It smells good!”
Shiro seemed to have been awakened by the smell of food as she suddenly woke up.
She really can’t miss a good meal.
“Auntie, the food smells delicious!”
“Oh, thank you. Please eat a lot.”
“Yes!”
Both Shiro and Ao eats the food served in the cafeteria so deliciously. Small children eat a lot, so the people around them are also relaxed.
Sue was also satisfied with the meal and ate well. She had a small appetite when we first met, but now she can eat normally.
Some of the passengers brought bread and other items, and they had lunch in their own way.
“Excuse me, I heard that there are excellent adventurers here.”
I finished eating lunch and had time before departure, so I was chatting with the passengers when a woman ran inside the cafeteria. Then everyone inside were all pointing at us, implicitly answering that we were the excellent adventurers the woman is looking for.
Leaving that aside, this woman seemed very anxious.
I wonder if something had happened.
“What’s wrong?”
“My daughter has been in bed with a high fever for a long time, can you please take a look at her?”
“Oh, that’s terrible. Shun-san, let’s go right away.”
“That’s right, Shun-oniichan. We need to take a look at her.”
“That’s right. Then, please take us to your daughter.”
“Thank you very much. This way, this way please.”
Apparently, when she heard that there is an excellent adventurer in the carriage, she must have had glimmer of hope and took courage to go ask for help.
Led by the woman, we arrived at the house where I found a little girl sleeping in pain.
“Excuse me for a moment.”
When I checked the condition while lightly flowing magic power to the girl, it looked like pneumonia and there was a large stagnation in the lungs. However, it was quite severe and I couldn’t seem to cure it, so I handed the job over to Sue.
“What an incredible magical light!”
“Hmm, Shun-san, what do you think of this?”
Sue is doing her best to treat the girl. The mother is quite surprised to see the girl glow with holy magic.
After passing the baton to Sue, I examined the girl again. The condition of her lungs seemed to have improved, but there is a slight stagnation in her stomach as well.
Sue continued to cast healing magic on her while I check on the girl’s condition.
“We treated the patient as best we could. Not only did you have pneumonia, but you also had some swelling in your stomach. But don’t worry, she’s fine now. However, she doesn’t have much strength so please let her rest for a while.”
“Thank you, thank you very much.”
The girl’s complexion improved, and her sleeping breathing became calmer.
The girl’s mother tearfully thanked us, especially Sue.
In fact, the little girl was in a pretty dangerous state.
“Oh, you’re back.”
“That was quick. How was it?”
“It was quite dangerous, but we managed to heal her.”
“That’s good, that’s good. Oh right, I’ve heard that the lady is also an excellent support. That child is really lucky.”
“Well, I didn’t think I could cure it, so I’m really glad Sue was here.”
It just so happened that we were having a stop here and Sue was there, but maybe the girl was just lucky.
Sue’s face was red from everyone’s compliments, but there’s no doubt that she was the star of the day.
Then, our leisurely carriage ride resumed.
