As you approach the capital of Raum, its majesty gradually comes into view.

 Although I had visited the city before, it is distinguished by the spire of the Academy of Magic, which is even more massive than the Royal Castle.

 I mean, isn't that tower taller than before?

'Nicole, Nicole! It's an awfully big tower!"

'Uh, yeah, I suppose so. It's big. But the carriage shakes, so don't jump around too much ...... upp.'

'Oh, sorry? Nicole, are you okay"

''Or too much.''

 I've been eating and sleeping since my injury, but sleeping means I'm exposed to the vibrations of the carriage directly from the floor.

 With a third sense of control that is as frail as my physical abilities, this life has made it easy for me to suffer from motion sickness.

'Umm, is that bed not good enough for you, Lady Nicole?'

'Nah, I'm a bit better now. Thank you, Finia.'

 I was now on a simple hammock made by passing a rope between the wagon loads and stretching a blanket over it.

 This cuts down on some of the minor vibrations, but it also has the disadvantage of causing a big jolt for a long time.

 For a change, I decided to get out of the carriage and walk with the adventurers.

 It was a little rough on my right wrist, which had almost dislocated, but it felt much better than being drunk.

''Master Nicole, you must be at such ...... rest again.''

'If you stay in bed, you'll lose the muscles you've worked so hard to build up. Finia would be anxious if you missed your training, wouldn't she?'

"'It's, well, ......'.

 During this journey, Finia also received sword training from Leon, an adventurer.

 She would have preferred to learn from Lyell, but it was too late now that she had left the village.

 Nevertheless, she continued to learn the sword with extraordinary enthusiasm, and her skills improved rapidly.

 I even thought she might have a gift.

 Finia couldn't stay in the carriage while I, the master of the house, was out walking.

 She must have been tired from her training and looking after me, but she walked beside me.

 I can't use one hand, so my walking balance is not good and I never know when I'm going to fall down.

''I'm sorry?"

'No, it's my job. Besides, the original was my--'

'That's no good. Finia is a little too self-deprecating, okay?'

Am I right?"

 Her past experiences have led her to a personality where she takes everything on herself.

 Correcting this personality is one of the challenges of this trip.

 As she was twisting her head, wondering how she was going to fix it, she noticed a woman standing in front of the town gate.

 Normally, the gatekeeper is responsible for checking on visitors, but from a distance, it looked as if the gatekeeper was giving in to her.

'Huh?'

What's wrong?"

'That ...... over there might be--'

 When I got to that point, they seemed to have noticed us too.
