After being forced to receive a deep education, I finally started this journey.

Destination – Selivia, the royal capital.

And I acted as the coachman for this journey.

"That...... Captain, where are we staying tonight? ”

"I'm going to camp...... The town is still a long way from us. ”

"Huh? Are you planning to let Miss Ben sleep in the wild? ”

"yes, what's the problem, Miss Mio?"

"Of course there's a problem! How can I, as a nobleman, tolerate camping in the wild! It's unreasonable! ”

Mio let out a strong voice of dissatisfaction.

It's so troublesome, is the eldest lady's body so expensive......

After all, you're not the eldest lady, so you're really troublesome.

"No problem, we'll give you the carriage to sleep in."

"What a joke! Why do you want me to agree to camping? ”

"Miss Mio, I'll take care of this matter properly, so don't think about it."

Anyway, let's fool her here, and when the night comes, I can make up an excuse to make the camping a fait accompli.

"Stupid servant! Do you think that's going to fool me? You're so naïve......"

"Huh?! What are you doing? A sucker! ”

"Don't you think she's too noisy?"

Hinako knocked the defenseless Mio directly from behind.

I'm really convinced, does this guy know what he's doing?

"That's the case, but you can't knock her out, can you......"

"No problem!"

No problem, you're big!

Really, all of them are the ones who make me feel uncomfortable.

"By the way, do you have any questions about tonight's camping plans?"

"Report to the captain, there is nothing wrong!"

I can see your excited look.

"Oh~ good! What about the others? ”

"No objections!"

"After all, we're also risk-takers, so it's easy to do that."

"Where's Harina?"

"Me? I'm fine. ”

"Very good, then all passed."

Since everyone is not against it, then there is no problem. I'm worried that there will be opposition......

Speaking of which, it's the first time I've camped outside, whether it's this world or the original world...... To be honest, it's a little exciting, but it's not the same as that elementary school birthday Nanako.

The carriage moved forward slowly, perhaps because we had too many things, and I always felt that the horses in front of me were reaching their limits.

The surrounding scenery is quite good, which is the so-called grassland scenery. The wind was a little cold, but the weather was quite clear, and the breeze gave people a very comfortable feeling.

Being in another world, it always feels a little unrealistic to see this kind of peaceful scene, but it will be very troublesome if there are really demonic beasts attacking......

After all...... People are such creatures......

After looking at the map, I realized that we had left the confines of North El City and entered the vast grassland area. Just cross the prairie and you'll be not far from the king—though you'll have to pass through a few more big cities.

There are also occasional wagons of other goods and some merchants on foot, whose destinations should be the same as ours.

"If you go a little further, you may encounter a demonic beast, you have to cheer up!"

In front of it is a canyon called Dragon Valley, as the name suggests, there is a canyon with dragons, but the dragons inside have been hunted clean, and only some relatively weak monsters are still inhabited there. As for who slayed the dragon for what purpose, I don't know.

It is said that the remaining monsters will actively attack the merchants who pass by, and many of them have died here.

"Did you listen to me?"

Receiving no response, I glanced back into the carriage.

They fell asleep on the carriage......

Are you tired from the journey...... But our journey has only begun, less than half a day!

I lowered the speed of the carriage a little bit to make it run more smoothly.

"There's no way, let's camp outside the Dragon's Nest tonight."

As long as you don't enter the Dragon's Nest, there won't be any monsters attacking you—that's what I thought.

And I stopped far away from the Dragon Nest, which was even more foolproof.

"Everyone, wake up, get up quickly!"

I stopped the carriage and shouted to the people in the carriage.

“… Let me... Sleep again...... ...... in a moment"

"Captain...... Please...... Let me ...... again."

"Really, how well can you sleep?"

Since they still want to sleep a little longer, I'll go and scout the surroundings first.

- Ding Ding Ding.

I had only walked a few steps when the phone in my pocket rang.

"Hey! Suzuki? Did Vivien fall asleep next to you? ”

You know that, you're spying on me, right?

It's scary......

"Well, what's wrong?"

"This is the best chance to get rid of her!"

"Huh? Eradicate? Do you want me to kill her? ”

Is this guy really going to kill his colleagues for the sake of godhood?

"Of course, she won't have to worry about it for me all day."

“…… Let me refuse! ”

After thinking about it, I still chose to reject her.

Anyway, she's my partner now, and I can't do that to my partner.

"Huh? Do you dare to disobey my orders? ”

Yukona sounded a little angry, but it seemed that she meant it.

"No...... This, that, killing people...... I can't do it......"

“…… It's not impressive. Okay, I'll lower the difficulty for you, did you bring the medicine you had last time? ”

Medicine? …… Isn't that also poison? You're not going to kill her yet!

"The belt is carried, but isn't that also poison?"

"No, I didn't make it clear to you last time. Anyway, just give her the bottle of medicine to drink, and she won't die. ”

"It's easy to talk ......"

"If you don't, I can let you die in the wilderness right now!"

！！！！！

My heart trembled visibly, I knew that she really dared to do this.

"Even if you really want to kill me, I won't do it!"

I didn't know why I wanted to protect her, but my heart told me that I should do it.

"How dare you say it...... That... Kill all your companions. ”

"You're ......! It's despicable! ”

"Have you figured out your answer?"

"Really...... Do you have to do it? ”

I...... There is no way back...... I don't want my most cherished companion to die for my own reasons, so I ......

"She's the biggest stumbling block on my way to becoming the Lord God, and I have to do it. I can guarantee that the bottle won't let her die, and I'll make sure you're better off in the days to come. ”

Damn it!

I clenched my fists.

"What's your answer?"
