10年ごしの引きニートを辞めて外出したら Part 2

Yuuji, hearing from Alice's brother who woke up about his family

"Nothing strange ahead of us. But still, skillful aren't you Mr Kevin"

"Thank you very much Mr Enzo. I've traveled along this road countless times after all"

The journey from Premie city to the royal capital, the sixth day.

Enzo, who had checked ahead, informed Kevin who was steering the carriage down the mountain pass.

They could let the horses do their best uphill. However, they were not a vehicle. The down-slope is the place to make a display of the coachman's skills. Delicate skill is necessary to use the brake to kill the speed and get the horses to move forward the way one wants. It is so difficult that it cannot be compared to something like a stick-shift car departing on a hill road.

It was quiet inside the carriage that Kevin was carefully moving forward.

Who were lying down there were the wolfkin Denis and Alice's brother Charles who were rescued from the bandits.

In order to watch over the two, Alice, Riese and seamster Yurshelle were glued to each other in a confined space.

Alice was holding her mouth with her hand in order to not wake the two up. Hearing Kevin saying it would be better to wait for them to wake up naturally, she endured being quiet. A capable girl she was.

Leading the carriage on a horse were Kevin's two exclusive escorts. Guarding the rear was Premie city adventurers guild master Salomon.

Due to letting the two people ride in the carriage, Yuuji went to the coachman's seat. Kotarou was concerned about the two sleeping people, but she was guiding the group, taking the role of searching for enemies.

The sixth day of their trip.

Though their companions increased by two, they completed the path to their goal favorably without any great changes.

"Oooooh! So that's the royal capital!"

"Amazing! Yuuji-nii, it's pretty, isn't it!?"

'What a big city!'

Sixth day of the trip, lunch break.

The open space that was prepared on the mountain pass was a place with a good view.

"Yes, Mr Yuuji, that over there is the royal capital"

Kevin informed Yuuji, who was setting up his camera out of admiration.

The open space, where they dropped in for noon break, was a place where one could look at the destination of their trip, the royal capital.

"... Yeah, it's true that you can see the river beside the royal capital!"

"That's right. It's that river that goes around the mountainous district and passes through the wetlands. It means that if you go on the waterway, you will pass Yagiri-Nyon and that point will connect to the royal capital. That is, if you can pass through the wetlands"

"Oh, I see~"

Said Yuuji, while his eyes were capturing the royal capital.

Kevin took time to explain, but he paid no attention to it. Kotarou too, who was by Yuuji's feet, vacantly opened her mouth. It appears that she was gazing this way as well.

The mountain pass where Yuuji and company were near the southern tip of the mountains that run north to south.

Spreading in the west as they overlooked from the mountain pass was an open field.
