While being shaken by our carriage, we continue our journey towards Raum. On our way, we didnât really have to worry about any raids⦠more than that⦠uughâ¦
ãUhhhgg, I feel sickã ãAre you okay, Nicole-sama!? ã
Finia couldnât hide her surprise after I became sick for the second time today. The journey itself was fine, but my physical condition was not. Knowing I would end up like this, Maria made sure to have me carry potions that would help relieve the motion sickness. But even with that, it didnât really help much due to my frail constitution. Seriously itâs not really working. On the other hand, my best friend Michelle-chan couldnât even hold her laughter while looking at my condition.
However, stopping the carriage in order to mend my physical condition would only end up delaying our journey. Right now Finia was letting me rest on her lap and took out a potpourri from her pocket to relieve me of my dizziness.
The carriage we were using didnât come with passenger seats but something much closer to a covered cart that could only stop wind and rain. Although the ride we have is not the best, there are also advantages to it like being able to stretch out like this.
Placing my head on Finiaâs lap, a refreshing scent was brought to my nose from the potpourri that she had taken out. The potpourri was scented with mint and a mix of lavender, thatâs why it was giving off a refreshing scent. That refreshing scent was healing my dizziness and made me feel relaxed.
ãFunyaaa~~ã ãKukuku, right now Nicole-sama you are acting like a spoiled kittenã ãUn, Nicole-chan turned into a catã ãOi!ã
Michelle and Finia were teasing me at my current condition, and Michelleâs mom couldnât help but smile at them. Though I am like this, I am still the daughter of heroes and is considered to be a respectable noble. Although her mom knows that, Maria wouldnât really mind if they were only a little disrespectful, still, the thought of angering Maria is really scary. She will also be helping us by supporting our daily life at the academy, but they still have no idea what they should do.
ãUuugh, it finally subsided a bit. This has really reflected how weak my body really isâ¦ã
I also feel kind of weird being more feminine than usual, but I have now gotten used to calling myself with a more feminine tone.
In this carriage headed towards Raum, several other merchants have joined us. Some of them are to return to Raum after trading with the village. There are currently three escorts and some people carrying huge amounts of money. They are kind of a little tense due to the presence of a person that should not be in this carriage.
ãThatâs right, big brother Adventurer, can I ask you something?ã ãNicole-samaâ¦â¦ that isâ¦â¦ã
They are also in charge of escorting us. Thereâs no need for them to listen to a childâs request, but they can at least relax for a bit. Keeping their eyes on the surroundings all the time would wear them out more than necessary. After all, I have also experienced being an adventurer.
ãItâs fine you know, there are no monsters in the surroundings at the momentã ãEh, how do you know about that? ã ãI can somehow tellã
This is one of my skills, being able to sense the presence of life. Since this skill doesnât require physical ability. I was able to raise it almost to the same level as I had before. And right now, there are no strange presences or enemies within my range of preception. If they want to keep this up, they will need to stop the carriage to take frequent breaks. Though everyone should stay on alert, it is not good to remain tense all the time. Staying in this condition for too long, they would only end up exhausting themselves, which would make them lose focus and end up making a mistake.
ãIs thatâ¦â¦is that really true?ã ãWell there are no enemies within my detection rangeâ¦â¦ã
Hearing that, one of the adventurers tried asking Finia, but received a similar answer. Well, we donât really have to rush our trip.
ãYou know? I also have a good pair of earsã ãIs that so, fine thenââwhat is it that you want to know?ã
And with this, the adventurers told us stories about their adventures. It was something that a normal villager wouldnât know of. Everyone was listening intently to their stories, other than me that is.
From my point of view, after hearing about their adventures, I couldnât help but think about how sloppy and careless they are as adventurers. Still, it is interesting enough as a form of entertainment on this long journey. It is better than accumulating fatigue and staying silent throughout the journey.
ãThen suddenly a troll jumps out of a shadeââã ãWhaa!?ã ãBut it wasnât really a troll that came out right?ã
A troll is a huge monster about 5 meters in height. From what they were talking about before, they said that they were inside a cavern with a ceiling of about 3 meters in height.
ãUghâ¦â¦Tha, That isâ¦â¦ã ãGeez, Iâll continue the storyâ¦â¦ it was goblins that came out from that placeã
The three adventurers were two men and one woman. The female adventurer contradicted the explanation of the man. Well, I donât really know how the general public would receive their stories, but since Iâm also listening, Iâd like them to forgive me from retorting.
Despite being cramped in a small space like this, the other passengers were laughing out loud. Though everyone wasnât related, their bonds were becoming stronger. From my past experiences, powerful experts tend to become a target of admiration without their notice.
While watching adventurers having fun with the passengers, the journey continued while gaining such fun memories.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
