“Heal……Heal……”
I am currently doing nothing but casting recovery magic while running nonstop.
As for why I am doing such a thing, it’s because I received a party invitation from the king.
I hear that it’s a thank you for before and that all the necessities, such as clothing, have already been arranged for over there.
However, I was requested to keep the fact that Aura and Tré are slaves confidential.
As far as it goes, Lily wasn’t my slave so it was irrelevant for her, but I’m sure that a party with royalty attending isn’t something that a commoner can enter.
Much less so for slaves.
……You might think that it would have been fine for me to rent some sort of wagon because I’m heading to the capital but, as a matter of fact, I have rented a wagon.
It was just that Aura, mad about the previous incident with Lily, didn’t let me ride it.
It was as though she absolutely would not let a pervert get close to her little sister.
“……Heal………….Heal.”
Thus, I am now casting recovery magic while continuing to chase after the wagon that was steadily advancing in front――
“Haah, I’m exhausted……”
I had my recovery magic so I wasn’t fatigued physically, but I was mentally worn out.
By the way, we’re taking a break right now to let the horses rest.
“You’re rather undisciplined despite being a pervert, to be admitting defeat here.”
An extremely unreasonable thing was said by Aura.
Nevertheless, I won’t reply here.
Because it’s obvious that I’ll receive further negative treatment if I do so.
“You’ve worked hard~”
Lily gave me, who was feeling a little relieved when Aura had left, a few words of encouragement.
“Lily’s so kind……”
I mutter as I pat Lily, who had come up beside me, on the head.
Since Aura wasn’t here, I continued patting her earnestly.
“Then I’m going to go back now~!”
Lily returns inside the wagon as though she was satisfied.
With some feeling of reluctance, I decided to take a stroll alone to kill some time.
“Heal……Heal!!”
I was currently being chased by a dragon.
That dragon was, of course, the crimson dragon I had an encounter with before.
“………..H-heal!!”
I was fleeing while curing my fatigue with recovery magic, but I probably won’t be able to return to where Aura and the others are at this rate.
I need to throw off this dragon somehow.
But with no idea how to do that, I could only run away.
“……!?”
When I look in front, somehow, standing there was a man roughly the same age as the king.
“Mister! A dragon is coming chasing so run away!!”
However, the man showed no signs of fleeing at all, and he came walking this way of all things.
“……!?”
I hurriedly change directions, trying to keep the dragon away from the man, but it was already too late.
The dragon noticed the man and opened its large jaw as it charged at the man, as though it thought that he would be easier to catch than me.
“……u……i.”
The man stands there and mutters something.
“GUGYAAAAAAaaaAa…Aaa…..a”
The next moment, I heard the dragon’s roar and then the dragon collapsed in front of the man just like that.
“……”
Um… I wonder what just happened.
Perhaps it collapsed and died of hunger or something, maybe……?
The most likely thing is that the man did something.
“……You.”
“!?”
By the time I realised, the man had moved before me, so I panickedly stood on guard.
