I, Asuna, don't want to travel around the world

……

"You look troubled, boy and girl."

Kayaba Akihiko and Asuna walked up to the two of them, then Kayaba Akihiko took a step forward and spoke.

"Eh?" Shayou was stunned for a moment, and when she came back to her senses from her previous distraction, she broke out in a cold sweat.

How did they get so close?

Shayou often hunts in the forest not far from her village, but even the most cunning prey cannot escape her eyes and ears.

Although she noticed many malicious gazes after entering the imperial capital, she endured those gazes and voices in order not to interfere with her and Iyeas's enlistment.

However, when Kayaba Akihabara and Asuna appeared behind her, she really didn't notice anything.

Even though he was distracted by what the mustache guy said just now, with the instincts he had already developed, how could he allow others to get close to him so easily?

The only answer is that the other party is very strong!

So strong that I can't even detect the other person approaching!

but……

"Why do they both look like ordinary girls?"

Sau looked at Asuna and Kayaba Aki, who were dressed very casually, and did not feel any sense of threat from them.

If there was nothing wrong with her perception, then the remaining answer was one that Shayou absolutely did not want to agree with.

I was approached by such a terrifying person right after entering the imperial capital. Isn't my luck too bad? !

Shayou was a little alert in her heart, but she didn't show any sign on her face.

"You are?"

She took a step forward and blocked Iyeas, preventing this talkative guy from speaking.

Seeing that Shayou took the initiative to stand in front of him and talk to the other party, Iyeas consciously shut his mouth, and then looked at the two people in front of him curiously.

"We are merchants who came to the imperial capital to do business. Because we encountered robbers on the road, our guards are not enough. Now we want to find some powerful people to escort us to the northern border to continue trading."

Kayaba Jingyan said in a calm tone.

"It just so happened that when I passed by here, I saw this little brother seemed to be very confident in his own strength, so I wanted to test your strength."

"If your strength is recognized by our caravan and you successfully escort our goods to the northern border, money will not be a problem."

"Eh?! Really?!"

When he heard about money, Iyeas' eyes lit up.

"Is it because of this reason? There are many people here who want to join the army just like us."

Shayou rolled her eyes at Iyeas in annoyance and continued.

"Hmm? Would someone without some strength dare to draw a weapon at the recruitment office in the imperial capital?"

"Forehead……"

After hearing this, Shayou was speechless.

After all, what Kayaba Akihabara said is quite right.

This is the imperial capital, and it is also the imperial capital's recruitment office. People without some strength would not dare to act rashly here.

However, although the guy behind him has some strength, his behavior just now was really just a result of his impulsive thinking!

The caravans that were able to trade back and forth between the major cities of the empire were certainly not as powerful as the average caravans. But even so, they still lost many guards after fighting with those robbers, so much so that they had to recruit soldiers in the imperial capital. This shows that if you really follow them, you might encounter extremely dangerous situations.

However, if they could really escort such a large caravan to the North, they would certainly earn a lot of money. Perhaps by completing a few more such missions, they would be able to save enough money to solve the village's plight.

Although this deviates from the original goal of joining the army, as long as the money is in place, nothing else matters.

"Can you let us take a look at your caravan first?"

After some consideration, Shayou made a decision.

"Of course, but because there are too many people in our caravan, only a small number of people are in the imperial capital. If your strength can be recognized by them, then we will also welcome you to join."

34th Guard Team: We have people above us too!

Kayaba Jingyan stepped aside and introduced to Sau and Iyeas, "This is the eldest lady of our caravan. If you really join us, everything will be subject to the orders of the eldest lady."

"Very happy to meet all of you."

Asuna smiled and nodded, but because her face was now made up, Asuna's smile seemed even more ordinary, completely lacking the image of a young lady in Sau and Iyeas' minds.

"Me too, nice to meet you." Shayu nodded, then poked Iyeas with her arm, who was still abiding by the "shut up rule."

"...Oh! Nice to meet you!"

Iyeas, who realized it belatedly, touched his head and spoke loudly with a smile that he thought was handsome.

"Ugh!"

Shayou covered her face and sighed in her heart, wondering when will this guy behind her be able to behave normally?

You are very unreliable now!

Asuna and Kayaba Akigao looked at each other and felt that the boy in front of them met the standards of a Kamen Rider member.

According to Shayou, those stubborn guys seem to lack a leader who can see the situation clearly. With a little training, they should be able to stand on their own soon.

"Come with us, our Chamber of Commerce's headquarters is not far from here."

Kayaba Akihabara said as she turned around.

"Okay." Shayou nodded.

"Oh~!" Iyeas waved his hands in the air, looking very excited.

Before leaving, Asuna glanced at the corner of the street.

……

……

"Damn it, someone got there first!" a member of the security team said angrily.

"They are two strangers. They should have come from outside as well." Another member of the security team glanced at the backs of Asuna and the others and said lightly.

"Go and follow them with a few men, and find out where they live. When we get back, we can find a reason to investigate them."

"If there is no big background, then it will be our brothers' turn to make a fortune."

As members of the security team, they could run rampant in the city, but opportunities to make a fortune like this could only be obtained by extorting outsiders.

After all, the common people in the imperial capital simply can't save much money, and blackmailing them will not only not earn you much money, but also waste your time.

Only those foreigners who have just arrived in the imperial capital are their primary targets.

Even if they couldn't extort much money from those foreigners, they could still make a small amount of money by selling them as slaves.

It's enough for them to enjoy themselves for a while.

"Well, then we'll go back and wait for your news."

"it is good."

Several other members of the security team nodded and prepared to return to the security team to prepare.

After their companions have gathered the information, they will take their weapons and find a random excuse to arrest the person.

If they have enough money, they might be able to walk out of the security team standing. If they don’t have enough money, then there is nothing they can do.

Brothers, we are paid for our work when we go out to arrest people. It will be difficult for us to handle this if you don't pay.

As old hands in the security team, these guys have more or less maintained connections with certain underground figures, and they are quite good at making black money.

Moreover, as long as they don't offend those powerful people, who in the imperial capital will care about them?

Even if there really is someone in charge, please, we have people above us!

……

……

"Sister, what kind of goods are you transporting?"

On the way, Sau and Iyeas followed behind Asuna and Kayaba Akigao and asked curiously.

"Hmm, let me imagine... dangerous materials, meat, and a small amount of weapons and equipment."

Kayaba Akihabara thought about the training content and daily supplies of the Kamen Rider soldiers over the years, and then spoke about them one by one.

"That's pretty much it."

"Eh? Even dangerous species materials are for sale?!" Iyeas asked in surprise.

"Ah."

"They were all dangerous species we encountered on the road, so we just hunted them down. After all, we are a caravan, and we can't waste materials."

Asuna's nonchalant tone made Sau and Iyeas at a loss for words.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have been killed by those suddenly appearing dangerous species.

But what about them?

Instead of fleeing in defeat, they even hunted down the dangerous species, and sold their materials and meat as merchandise...

"I always feel like we are sending sheep into the tiger's mouth..."

Shayou gripped the longbow on her back and couldn't help but feel worried.

Even though he and Iyeas had some strength, they would probably not be able to escape the danger when facing a team that could easily surround and kill those in danger.

Now, we can only hope that they are not bad people and are simply looking for new guards.

Of course, Asuna and Kayaba Akiya could not hide Sau's worries. After all, the child had her worries written all over her face, and she couldn't hide it from others at all.

On the contrary, Iyeas still looked very excited. He kept shouting that he wanted to let Asuna and the others see his strength so that he could offer them high salaries.

He never thought about what would happen to him and Shayou if they were deceived.

As they walked, Asuna and Kayaba Akihabara arrived at the mansion where they had just arrived.

"end……"

"it's me."

The soldiers who had stayed here before seemed to have gone to the new mansion that the little emperor rewarded to Asuna, leaving only two masked soldiers guarding here, waiting for Asuna and Kayaba Akihabara to return.

When four strange men and women walked up to them, the two soldiers just opened their mouths when they were stopped by Kayaba Jingyan.

"You are...the leader?!"

One of the soldiers said uncertainly.

"It's just a disguise. Take us to the new mansion."

"Yes!"*2

The two soldiers in guard uniforms immediately led the way.

Our team leader who seems to have a split personality has disguised herself as an ordinary girl, so is there any need to explain the identity of the girl next to her?

As for Shayu and Iyeas, although they were also curious about why they were brought around by their own captain and general, looking at their dazed looks, they definitely didn't know their true identities. In that case, they naturally wouldn't say much.

He just silently pretended to be a guard and brought Asuna and the others to the super-large mansion that the emperor had just given to Asuna.

"This is it."

The two soldiers returned to the team and told the soldiers here that Asuna and Kayaba Akihabara were disguised as ordinary girls.

Behind Asuna, Sau and Iyeas were both stunned.

Especially after seeing the mansion gate that looked no different from a small city wall, and the masked guards standing guard in front of the gate, he could hardly believe his eyes.

35 Confident Iyeas

"...Um, um... this isn't an ordinary caravan station, is it?"

Shayou was shocked and asked cautiously.
