Chapter 35: Benefactor
Early morning
There were already three figures in front of the west gate
"Sorry! I'm late."
Last night
I was so nervous that I couldn't sleep
"No, the sun has just risen"
A male adventurer in a cloak replies.
Just as my father told me.
A lizardman
"To be honest, I'm having a hard time, so this much helps."
"Is it so?"
"Yes, unlike humans, we lizardmen are weak against the cold."
I'd heard they'd only met yesterday, but they were talking comfortably.
“I'm sorry, I really wanted to introduce myself to the three of you yesterday.”
"You were running around collecting medical supplies, I know. I'm Shiro."
“My name is Rumseil. Nice to meet you.”
"Scout Wince."
“I am Sermus, second son of Lord Wilderness. It is an honor to meet you both.”
Yes, I know these two very well.
"That's! Please don't be polite."
"No! I could have died of water poisoning three years ago. I can't thank you both enough."
"Three years ago... were you drinking it too?"
"Yes, I was under house arrest in the mansion at the time. My father did not want me to go against the nobles."
"Wince, did you know?"
"I did not know"
"And after that incident, many of the city's nobles lost their jobs, and I was able to walk outside."
I wanted to thank them sooner.
However, if the lord's bloodline goes to meet an adventurer himself, it will be troublesome.
“I will be 15 this year, and I work out every day. I won't get in the way."
"I see, I'll take care of you as much as possible. But please don't expect too much."
"Yes!"
--------------
We had a problem right away.
The horse won't move at all.
"This must be... my fault."
Rumseil-san lowered his head
Obviously, the horse is frightened by the Lizardman's appearance.
"It can't be helped if it doesn't move. Rumseil, how many days it will take if we go on foot?"
"About five days."
"Then let's walk. It might be dangerous to travel with a frightened horse."
"Yes. Is Sermus-san okay with it?"
"Yes, if you want, I can walk for ten days!"
