Episode 274: The Hero, the Sword Saint, and the Appraiser 15

“—So, that’s what happened. But do you think it’s okay for Gies to come along?”

“I don’t see a problem.”

“I’m fine with it too.”

“I have no objections.”

Sensei easily approved of Gies-san accompanying us.

“Yes!!”

“Now the only issue is the method of travel.”

“Hm? What do you mean by that?”

It seems that Gies-san didn’t know about our travel method.

From the royal capital of the Shriden Kingdom to here, I’ve been traveling on Sunny. And the other members, except for Moriya, have been riding on Haku.

The reason Moriya wasn’t riding with us is that we exceeded the number of people who could ride on Haku.

So, if one more person joins, we won’t be able to travel on Haku anymore.

“………That familiar of yours, is it really that fast?”

“Yes. So, we need to find a way to secure a means of transportation…”

“I want to fight it!”

“…Did you even listen to what I said?”

Suddenly, Gies-san said he wanted to fight. And I couldn’t help but ask him again.

“Of course! We’re talking about travel, right? …Wait a minute, who’s this Moriya person?”

“It’s me, me!”

“…Huh?”

Ah, so Gies-san’s confusion was directed at that. 

But given that Gies-san is a battle maniac, it’s not surprising. I have a feeling that this flow of conversation is going to lead to…

“…Wait, you’re joking, right?”

Huh? I thought he was going to say he wanted to fight. But it seems he thought I was joking instead.

“It’s not a joke!”

“Wait, wait, aren’t you a kid? So… are you Moriya?”

“I’m Akigase.”

“Mm? You’re Ride, right? …….So, seriously, is this kid here Moriya?”

“I’ve been saying that from the start.”

…Please don’t give me that doubtful look. If you’re going to do that, please do it toward Arata instead.

“Moriya, despite how he looks… is a skilled Mage. When it comes to just moving, he can go as fast as Haku.”

You’d probably find it hard to believe that he’s over 100 years old. So I decided to just say he’s a skilled Mage. Well, it’s not entirely untrue.

“Wow. People really don’t look like what you expect.”

“You actually believe me? That’s rare.”

“Is it really true? When I watch you guys, it doesn’t seem like you’re lying.”

For that reason alone, Gies-san seems to believe me. Maybe he’s actually more trusting than I thought.

“Wait, so it really is true. My travel method is becoming an issue, huh?”

Then, he immediately crossed his arms and started thinking about our travel options.

If we can’t figure this out, no matter how much everyone agrees, Gies-san won’t be able to follow us.

It’s possible to fit two people on Sunny. But if we do that, the speed will drop. And there’s a higher risk of falling due to balance issues.

Gies-san might be okay. But if I fall, I think it’d be game over. So I want to avoid that.

“How about I carry you with magic?”

“Huh? Can you really do that, Moriya?”

Come to think of it, Moriya had been floating with magic and keeping up with us on Haku.

“I can do it! I’ll just do the same thing I did for myself, but for Gies-kun.”

“If you can do it, then let’s do it! Please, Moriya!”

“But is that really okay? It’s not some special method that only Moriya can endure, is it?”

“Of course not! There’s nothing like that!”

Moriya laughed as he said it, But considering he’s keeping up with Haku at the same speed, I’m a little worried that his body might be under some strain.

“There might be some strain on the body, but I can minimize it with buff magic. I think Gies-kun will be able to handle it.”

“That sounds like a lot of strain! What if something happens to Gies-san?!”

“Then he can just drink potions!”

“Relying on potions, huh?!”

This might be something I should stop, really.

It might be faster to just stop Gies-san from coming along altogether.

“Um, Gies-san, maybe it’s better if you don’t come after all…”

“It sounds fun! Not just with Arata, but training with Haku and Moriya also sounds great!”

…Nope. This guy is definitely not going to stop.
