Watashi wa Teki ni Narimasen! Chapter 59

Tomorrow would be the Everal army’s departure, one that was already delayed by several days from the originally planned departure .

The part of the army whose movement was slow would depart first .

The supreme commander would be Alan . He subst.i.tuted for Reggie who was still unwell, and thus, our departure had to be delayed .

I had to move along with the army .

Again, I was among the crowd who were riding on a carriage .

Unlike when we were repelling the Ruain army before, this time we were going to have a long distance travel that spanned around several days . Although I was given an inconspicuous box-shaped carriage, I still felt bad because I was given the privilege of riding on the carriage alone to improve my comfort .

When I voiced my thought, everyone unanimously said, “It would be troublesome if you couldn’t fight well when push comes to shove . ” Since their words made sense, I finally consented with this arrangement .

If I were to have a muscular pain due to riding on a horseback, causing my magic utility to be hindered, it would definitely be dangerous . If I were unable to become any of use, I would only be a baggage for them .

I felt like the knights, the soldiers, and everyone were treating me like a fixed goods to be carried in a carriage very carefully, although I didn’t feel like this was something significant…

I didn’t know whether or not they’d get tired, though . At that time, I should think of something to lift up their morale .

I was worried about Reggie’s recovery and whether or not the enemies would target us while we were on the move… But my concern was justified under this kind of circ.u.mstances . Still, it wasn’t like Reggie departed without any equipment, rather, we had a formation with two forwards at the front line moving separately in case of us getting attacked en route . The preparation was done very well .

While persuading myself, I put on the new clothes that Maysan had prepared for me .

The purplish red dress’ length was adjusted as per my request so the hem was slightly above my ankles . To cover up the exposed skin, I wore a pair of boots and a dark pants that would be useful in case I had to ride on a horse .

…If I were to ride on a horse with just my dress, my legs would definitely be exposed, be it during when I was mounting or when I was on the horse—it would definitely expose them . Also, I wanted my skirt to be alright even if they were rolled up during the unlikely event that I needed to dash with all my power again .

Even I would still feel embarra.s.sed having my skirt folded over if not for the danger I was facing .

Taking that into consideration, I had the pants made as well .

“Shall I use pants as well, I wonder…,” Beatrice-sama muttered, but sometimes I saw Madam Beatrice crossdressing as a man during the times she returned safely to the residence .

And then there was the cloak . I had it tailored into a jacket so that it could protect me against the cold and be easier to move in .

My attire was cute yet cool at the same time, so having Master attached to my waist seemed to be out of place . Since the season was turning hotter, I didn’t have to wear the jacket all the time, but it was indispensable during the night . There were also several spare clothes ready .

After wearing my full attire, Beatrice-sama hugged me .

“Please come home safely . …In the worst case that everything didn’t go smoothly, I’ve arranged a plan with Vayne-sama so we could flee abroad together . ”

In the worst case, let’s run away together . I smiled in response to Beatrice-sama who said that .

“I will be relying on it if push comes to shove . But I will work hard so we will win . Then, Alan can also return here . ”

“I will be waiting . ”

Beatrice-sama didn’t say anything such as “You have to win” nor did she say, “Please take care of Alan” .

Since we were going to a war, we couldn’t tell what would happen in the future until it happens .

Moreover, Alan became the vanguard as Reggie’s proxy . She might have prepared herself that we were no longer in the safe positions—both Alan and me .

Still, Madam Beatrice couldn’t leave the territory defenseless as Margrave Vayne was still seriously wounded . Beatrice-sama should be the one feeling frustrated as she couldn’t join us .

“I’ll be going . ”

I said as I exited the room .

My luggage was already carried by the servants . All that was left was me .

The departing soldiers were standing in a row outside the castle gate .

Positioned in the center were some of the carriages that held the baggage, the knights, Alan, my carriage, and the stronghold that would be on alert . Behind us, the lines of soldiers continued, leading the carriages transporting goods and carriages where the merchants serving in a war and their luggage were in .

“You’ve come, Kiara . ”

Alan noticed me and nodded .

“Hurry and get on . Wentworth is already waiting . ”

“Yes . ”

I nodded, walking towards the carriage .

Cain-san was already there, mounting on the horse that would lead the carriage . He then opened the carriage’s door as if he was an attendant .

“Please treat me well, Cain-san . ”

When I said that to Cain-san who was beside the carriage, he laughed .

“Don’t be too hard on me too, Kiarsan . ”

Borrowing Cain-san’s hand that was held out, I got on the carriage .

Before long, the trumpet’s sound resounded, and it caused the carriage’s window to vibrate . Inside the carriage that began to move after that, I looked up at the castle walls that soared so high .

Reggie wasn’t there, as he was ordered by the physician to stay in the bed .

Beatrice-sama and Margrave Vayne were standing in front of the gate, sending off the soldiers who were departing .

The four days after leaving the frontier pa.s.sed by without anything in particular .

Since we were still moving within the territory, there was no Ruain soldier waiting to ambush despite us staying on guard . Fortunately, nothing had happened .

The army was headed directly to the west .

As we were moving, we stayed in the nearby towns during the night . At that time, I stayed inside the town as much as possible .

After all, I was the sole female among the men . Even if I was a magician who was somewhat feared not less than a demon, it won’t be good if something were to happen during the time I was asleep . Besides, it seemed that the others were more relieved to have me isolated .

I felt sorry having to sleep inside a building alone, but it wouldn’t be good if I were to put a mental fatigue to my allies, so I silently obeyed Alan’s order .

That way, there won’t be any need to trouble someone else to arrange for my own tent .

I was thinking about it when I entered a room in an inn within the town, accompanied by Cain-san . Then, I got an idea .

“Ah, but I can just make a cabin out of the soil in exchange for a tent . ”

Let’s try to suggest that to Alan tomorrow . At any rate, Master’s magic attribute was different from mine, so we couldn’t tell just what kind of things I could really make well based on soil .

I understand that it’s all about my imagination, determination, and getting used to using magic power .

“But there is a limit to your magic . If you have told that there was no need to put your resting area to consideration, where will you sleep if you’ve used up all your power? Uhihihi . ”

Upon hearing Master’s comment, I answered .

“In that case, I should just share with someone else, for example at Alan or Cain-san’s place . ”

“……Eh?!”

Surprisingly, Cain-san was the most shocked out of us all . Despite him being a person with less expressions, his cheeks were now stiff .

“Ah, forgive me . I would surely become a bother that way, right?”

“…That’s not it . ”

I apologized, and Cain-san’s answer was a little late . Hence, it surely bothered him, right? I didn’t know if Master understood his thought, but he was laughing in a very weird way, “Uhyahyahya . ”

Even so, Cain-san still told me his reason, perhaps he did it because he felt sorry that he refused .

“We can’t set too many tents, so I’m also sleeping together with the others . ”

“Ah, that’s right . I really am sorry for saying that without thinking things thoroughly . If it’s Alan, I think he’s going to occupy a tent by himself, right? I will try negotiating with him about sharing the tent should there be an emergency . ”

I have to ask Alan .

As I made a mental note to myself, I sat in front of the desk within the room, putting out a pen, ink, and papers that were in my hand luggage .

The papers were bound together with a thread at the edge, making it look like a notebook .

“Kiarsan, is there anything that needs to be recorded?”

Cain-san finally regained his initial composure back, as he asked me what I was planning on writing .

“I’m… going to write everything within my scope of knowledge . ”

That is one of the things I can do for Reggie .
