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

You, why are you suddenly reaching out your hand?!

It's not your working hours now!

Felt’s unhappy cry woke Reinhard from his shock.

But even so, he still did not let go, but just restrained his strength, as if he was afraid that Firut would run away.

He ignored the confused looks around him and asked quickly, "Sorry, what's your name?"

Firut was stunned for a moment, then honestly said his name: "My name is Firut, what's wrong?"

And Reinhardt eagerly asked: "What's your family name? How old are you?"

“Reinhard?” Emilia was very confused by the Sword Master’s repeated questions and strange behavior.

"Hey!" The flesh on Grandpa Rom's face trembled, and he looked very ferocious.

But Reinhard ignored him and stared at Felt closely.

After all, guys more vicious than Lord Rom were defeated or killed by him.

As for the murderous aura that remains in Grandpa Rom after so many years of retirement... Sorry, if he really wants to take action, Reinhardt actually doesn't mind letting him stay in the prison in the royal capital for a few days for free to calm down.

By the way, let him reunite with his "old friends" there.

But in the current situation, Reinhard could no longer care about him.

After all, there are more important things to confirm for yourself.

“Huh?” Hearing Reinhard’s question, Firut seemed to have heard a joke and said, “I don’t have such a noble family name.

As for age, I’m probably fifteen, because I don’t even know my birthday, why are you asking? Let me go now!”

Having said that, Firut began to struggle again in dissatisfaction.

“Sorry, you may have to stay at my place for a while from now on.” Reinhard said to Master Rom behind Felt, ignoring her struggle.

"Is that so... I understand." Grandpa Rom touched his head and nodded slowly.

Although I don’t know the purpose of the sword master in front of me, but from the questions just now and his expression, it seems that he knows some information related to Firut.

Grandpa Rom doesn't feel comfortable letting Felt go through this alone, as it could have terrified the strongest swordsman in the kingdom.

After all, I have taken care of this girl for so many years, so let me continue to take care of her.

"Mr. Rom?!" Felt looked at the old man behind him in shock, his eyes seemed to be saying; 'What on earth are you thinking about? ! ! !'

"It seems that you know something, Reinhardt." Asuna said lightly.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to do this, but…” Reinhardt shook his head helplessly.

"Reinhard?" Emilia asked, "Can you tell me the reason?

If it was stealing the medal... I have forgiven her."

Just as he said he wanted to forgive the other person, someone who had a good relationship with him came out and grabbed the other person and took him away.

That's probably what it feels like.

That... feeling of going back on one's word?

Reinhard shook his head. “Although this crime is not clear, it is nothing compared to the sin of ignoring the situation in front of me.”

Grandpa Rom's face turned darker, and he reached out and rubbed Firut's head. "Firut, be quiet."

“Uncle Rom…” With the comfort of the old giant, Firut, who was originally very dissatisfied, gradually calmed down.

But the pouting little mouth and vicious eyes showed that she was still very dissatisfied.

However, there seemed to be a hint of confusion and uneasiness hidden beneath the childish and ferocious look in his eyes.

"Sorry, I have to go pack my things first. Excuse me."

Seeing that Firut had finally calmed down, Grandpa Rom rubbed her little head with satisfaction.

"Yeah." Reinhard nodded.

Uncle Rom turned and walked into the room, quickly packing up his things.

These things might be just worthless junk in the eyes of those nobles, but in the eyes of Master Rom and Firut, they are extremely precious things.

As for the shabby tent that Firut built in the slums...

There wouldn't be anything good hidden in there, so Grandpa Rom quickly packed up Firut's things and took them away.

In front of the stolen goods warehouse.

"I'm sorry, Emilia-sama, Asuna, I'm afraid we have to excuse ourselves first."

Reinhardt, who was still holding Felt’s wrist, said with a hint of apology.

"See you next time if you have time." Asuna didn't care about that.

But to be honest, she was actually quite curious about what secrets were hidden in Firut that could move the sword master so much.

In the slums, there is a thief girl whose background is unknown, an old giant man who depends on each other for survival, and a young swordsman who seems to be hiding some secret.

All these factors combined together, if Natsuki Subaru was awake at this moment, he would definitely scream again.

After all, if these elements are combined together, they are enough to write a novel.

And Felt...given her personality, she would definitely not get along with Reinhard.

Asuna couldn't help laughing when she thought of Felt being very angry at Reinhard but being completely helpless against him.

I hope that the next time we meet, we can uncover the mystery behind Firut.

"Lady Emilia, I hope you will understand that you will be summoned soon."

"Ah."

Emilia nodded to show that she understood.

"Well, when that kid wakes up, remember to lock the door for me." Grandpa Rom seemed a little embarrassed.

After all, in front of the Kingdom Sword Master, I asked someone to lock the door of the stolen goods vault...

This feels so weird!

Even if we wait until the problem with Firut is resolved, we probably can't stay here anymore.

"You still want it? Forget it, we will remember to lock the door when we leave, don't worry, Master Rom."

"..." After getting Asuna's answer, Grandpa Rom glanced at Reinhard quietly.

This place... is really terrible.

32 Return to the Mansion

Trees replaced by the steel city flashed by before my eyes, and the air was full of the breath of nature.

"Rumble--!"

In the woods, a dragon car was running at an astonishing speed on a flat road specially opened up by humans.

In this country, dragon carts are a very popular means of transportation.

Their functions are the same as those of horse-drawn carriages, but they are far from comparable to horse-drawn carriages in terms of performance or other abilities.

Even some cars in modern society cannot match it!

After all, this is a world of magic, and the earth dragons with the "wind shelter" blessing can easily break through the wind and waves as they move forward.

The entire dragon carriage was clearly moving at an astonishing speed, but the howling wind and waves did not affect the dragon carriage at all.

Although the blessing is the protection that a life receives from the world when it is born, and only those who are truly favored by the world can possess it, there are some races that are naturally outstanding, and therefore will be unanimously granted the blessing.

Just like Reinhard, who is a master among men, his Sword Saint family is a family that has been endowed with the blessing of "Sword Saint" for generations.

Earth dragons are also a race that are given fixed protection by the world from the moment they are born.

This kind of protection can make the earth dragon completely unaffected by the wind when it is running, and even the dragon chariot connected to it can be protected.

In addition, earth dragons are famous for their swiftness, and the dragon-friendly kingdom of Lugnica is a country whose symbol is dragon. Therefore, in Lugnica, earth dragons are often used as a means of transportation for people.

However, even earth dragons have their pros and cons.

The earth dragons that can be easily rented in the royal capital are just ordinary earth dragons, not outstanding at all. They can only be said to be at the "average" level among the species, or even inferior.

And those "geniuses" among the earth dragons, each one of them is of considerable value.

No matter in the past or now, those "gifted" earth dragons are always valued by the nobles and forces, and are often entrusted with some major strategic raids or material transportation.

As a border noble, although Roswaal himself is not very reliable, he has two loyal maids who help him take care of everything in the mansion. The earth dragon he controls is naturally a very good breed and is incredibly fast.

The person who is now driving this top-grade dragon chariot is Ram, who came to the royal capital with Emilia.

Since finding the medal that day, Asuna and Natsuki Subaru stayed in the royal capital for a few days at Emilia's invitation.

And what Reinhardt said that night, "Emilia will probably be summoned soon," is probably a long way off.

Because when Asuna and Emilia wanted to visit Reinhard those days, they received the reply that the Sword Master was not at home.

Maybe he's dealing with Firut's matter?

Although I didn't meet Reinhard, I did meet Grandpa Rom.

However, looking at the other person's expression, something seemed to be wrong.

As if... he felt guilty? Ashamed? And then he inexplicably became determined?

Then he said some strange words.

Emilia nodded thoughtfully, then ended her visit to the Sword Master.

After returning to their base in the royal capital, Emilia suggested to Ram that they return.

Ram had no objection and drove the dragon car skillfully, and threw out Natsuki Subaru, who was eating in the kitchen because he was hungry.

In the past few days, Subaru Natsuki has been learning some unreliable physical and sword skills from Asuna, which consumes a lot of physical energy. The normal three meals a day cannot meet his daily consumption.

So Ram's kitchen suffered.

But fortunately, everything is coming to an end!

After cleaning up everything, Ram hummed in her heart, but her face still maintained the indifference of a maid.

However, when she heard the news that Emilia invited Asuna and Natsuki Subaru to visit her mansion, the song she was humming in her heart suddenly went out of tune.

inside the carriage.

"We have entered Mezas Territory and will soon reach the mansion."

Looking at the familiar scenery, Emilia said, "Although I am one of the candidates for the royal election, in fact, there are almost no nobles in the Kingdom of Lugnica who choose to support me. Only the current border earl of the Mezas family publicly expressed his support for me on behalf of the Mezas family and let me live in the main house."

Before Emilia became the Chosen King, she encountered obstacles everywhere because of her silver-haired half-elf background. She even had no place to live, and could only depend on Puck and support each other.

Until she gained the support of the Mezas family.

Compared with before, Emilia's living conditions have been greatly improved.

But, that’s all.

It is euphemistically called the candidate for the king's choice.

In fact, in the eyes of most people, Emilia has no chance of winning in her competition with other chosen kings, so they just think of her as a formality.

After all, in the eyes of most people in this world, Emilia's image is extremely ominous, although some people don't care about this, such as Reinhard.

But for some corrupt and stubborn guys, it has become a point that cannot be avoided.

Coupled with Emilia's own personality, it will probably be difficult for her to gain the favor of the rulers of the Kingdom of Lugnica.

It would be good enough if she didn't find fault with him or cause trouble for him.

Fortunately, thanks to the support of the Mezas family, Emilia has some cards to compete with the other chosen kings.

"Then you are in a very bad situation now." Natsuki Subaru, who was standing aside, was holding Parker who was as big as a human, squatting steadily in the dragon cart. His forehead was covered with sweat and his arms were shaking as he spoke.

"Although it's not completely without problems, the people who support me are not ordinary nobles. They have great influence in the kingdom. Well, at least on the surface, there won't be any problems."

Emilia said so.

If there is no problem on the surface, then just do it secretly.

So Emilia encountered things like the medal being stolen and the hunter attacking in the royal capital.
