Chapter 100

Bear-san Makes A Stone Statue

We ate the meal that Atora-san prepared.

It was a simple fish meal, but Cliff didn’t complain. It was funny, seeing Atora-san’s anxious face as she watched him eat it.

"I prepared a carriage outside, so we should head towards the tunnel."

She said after we finished eating.

It seemed that she had prepared everything while we were eating.

We went outside, where a roofed carriage waited for us.

"Cliff-sama, Mylene-san, it may be small, but please get on."

She was right. It was small compared to the carriage Gran-san used at the capital.

However, there were no nobles in Mireera, and preparing this carriage was probably the best they could do.

Cliff, who understood that, wouldn’t complain.

"I don’t mind, so don’t worry about it."

The carriage could seat three people on each side, opposite of each other.

Cliff, Mylene-san, Atora-san, and the three elders.

Jeremo-san headed for the coach seat.

So, where would I be?

Perhaps, the roof?

That wasn’t the case, as it seemed that Atora-san and Jeremo-san would both sit in the coach seat.

With Jeremo-san’s lead, the carriage started to move forward.

"Missy, thank you very much."

Grandpa Kuro, who was sitting in front of me, stated his gratitude.

"You brought the Feudal Lord of Crimonia from so far away."

"We don’t have enough words to express our thanks to you, Missy."

"Not to mention, you made a tunnel for our sake."

The three elders gave their thanks.

I felt really uncomfortable when they said it straightforwardly like that.

"I just made the tunnel on a whim, so you don’t have to mind it that much."

"Are you saying that it was something you did on a whim? You… People who work in that field of expertise would be angry if they heard that."

Cliff, who was sitting next to me, retorted.

I said that I did it on a whim, but I made it carefully. Still, it was true that I got really fed up with the monotonous task halfway through, so I started humming while working.

The only things that I really thought about while making it were the difference in height, the strength of the walls, and the flow of groundwater. I wanted to make it so that two carriages could fit through at the same time, of course, but amusingly, I forgot that carriages could differ in size.

The carriage slowly rattled onward, and we arrived near the tunnel.

Cliff stopped the carriage and we got out.

"We will walk from here on."

For some unknown reason, Cliff took the lead.

Even though only three of us knew the place, it wasn’t okay for a noble to take the lead inside a forest, right!?

Well, just in case, I used detection magic to check for monsters and humans along the way.

The tunnel wasn’t too far from the road, though.
