Kazura was sitting down and watching that scene. Then he turned his gaze to the road that they had walked.
The road that Kazura had walked stretched endlessly straight towards the village. Except for trees that were planted at the roadside as road markers, there was nothing else.
The area where road passed through, had some large rocks, and some thin trees, but it was mostly empty. There are far away mountains that can be seen in the horizon. The whole area can be called a dry prairie.[3]
Then, he saw the road that they will travel forward at. It also had the same scenery spread out and wide.
「Kazura-san, here, drink some water.」
Kazura was thinking about the road that he will take and worried about if the sole of his feet will be blistered. Then, Valetta took out a leather canteen with water.[4]
The leather canteen had a wooden cork stopper. Its size was also quite large.
「Thank you. Err, will we keep walking until the sun goes down?」
「No. We will set up a camp before the sunset. However, just a little far ahead, there is a resting lodge that had been built by Nelson-sama. We will reach it before the day ends and make our stop in there.」
Hearing the word resting lodge, Kazura involuntary gave out a voice, 「Oh!」.
He already thougt that he would sleep outdoors. To construct a resting lodge at a spot between Grisea Village and Isteria,.... that Nelson-sama was really something.
Perhaps, by accumulating this kind of considerate actions, he gained the respect from the people just like the Grisea villagers.
「Therefore, even if it is difficult for Myra-chan, she must persevere and keep walking. Of course, Kazura-san also needs to persevere.」
So, Valetta answered while unintentionally laughing.
「I’ll do my best......」
Replied Kazura, while he carefully stroking his feet that wore the unfamiliar knitted-straw sandals.
✦✧✦✧
10 hours had passed.
The sun that had been furiously enthroned on the overhead sky started to abdicate. Kazura became worried about the time remaining to make preparations for camping. But then, the resting lodge, that was constructed from wood, came into his sight. Nearby the lodge was a forest that extends far and wide, while the road continues to go through it.
「A, Kazura-san, I can see the resting lodge!」
「Re-really?..... I’ saved....」
After marching for 10 hours, that seemed like a very long time, wearing unfamiliar footwear, Kazura’s left sole had a single blister in it. Even though he had wrapped a bandage around it to soften the pressure when walking, frankly, it was still quite painful.
However, even the 6 year old Myra kept walking without raising a single complaint, how could 25 years old man like Kazura stop walking because of a single blister? So, to the worried Valetta and others, he just replied 「I’m fine」 with a smile, gritted his teeth and kept walking.
En route, they traveled with a 5 minutes rest every 1 hour walking. They also had 30 minute rest for lunch. But, only Kazura had a blister in the sole.
Myra was somewhat tired after walking for a long period of time, but maybe because she drunk a gulp of Lipo-D, she still had some energy to chat with the other villagers just like on the time of departure.
Kazura also drank a bottle of Lipo-D on the way, but there is no amazing restorative effect that was exhibited in the people of this world. Nothing was different than when he drank Lipo-D back in Japan.
Kazura struggled until reaching the lodge. After opening the lodge door and confirmed its safety, two people left in front of the lodge to stand watch while the rest entered it.
The lodge had the size of 10 tatami[5] equivalent to an apartment room, on the four walls were sliding windows, and in the center of the room is a sunken hearth.
There was nothing that could be used to make fire inside the lodge, so they took out the firewood that they had brought, and Kazura ignited a twig with his lighter before throwing it to as a kindling to start the fire in the hearth.
「Ouch..... Auw, looks like the blister popped...」
After lighting the hearth, Kazura sat in front of it. He then removed the bandage and examined his feet.
The blister under his left sole was torn and was oozing blood, dying the bandage with red.
「Kazura-san, are you all right?」
Kazura was disinfecting the cracked blister with hydrogen peroxide solution, while the worried Valetta had put down the luggage and sat beside him.
「Aah, I’m fine. I can walk again after disinfecting and wrapping this with a bandage.」
「Really....? But please, you don’t need to push your body too much since I will carry the firewood tomorrow.」
「Ah, no, I am fine with it. Leave the firewood to me.」
