Inside the Returning Vehicle
The magic-driven four-wheeler dashed onto the highway while raising a storm of dust, with the Northern Mountain Ranges at its back. Because it was a road treaded by many people over the span of many years, it was in far better condition compared to the road from UI town to the Northern Mountain Ranges area. Thanks to the suspensions he installed, the vibrations were dulled and the four-wheeler advanced smoothly towards Fhuren.
Shia was seated in the front seat and her rabbit ears were flapping in the wind thanks to the fully opened windows. She looked somewhat displeased since she liked the two-wheeler more than the four-wheeler. After all, she liked the feeling of her rabbit ears cutting through the wind and embracing Hajime while resting her face on his shoulder.
Naturally, Hajime was the driver. The seat beside him was, of course, Yue's. Will was seated in the back seat.
Will anxiously asked Hajime, while slightly leaning his body forward, "Excuse me~, was it really okay to them like that? If you only spoke a little more about it... especially towards Aiko-dono..."
Without turning his head, Hajime answered indifferently, "Nn~? Not really, everything is okay. After all, there would be only more trouble if I stay there... Sensei also can make good decisions even if I am not there."
"... It's probably as you said, but..."
"You... setting aside whether or not you're a good person... aren't you too concerned about others?"
Even though he heard Hajime's words, Will still wore an anxious expression, which made Hajime smile wryly. To truly be in pain and crying for the dead adventurers, not to mention remaining in an unrelated town about to be attacked by a large crowd of demonic beasts which was normally thought of as suicidal. To forgive Tio, who was the object his grudge, and now he was worried about the relationship between the one who half-threatened him; Hajime and Aiko and the others. He was a noble from the Kingdom, and he was extremely eccentric, as he was aiming to become an adventurer. However, even more than that, he was a good-natured person cares about everything.
