“By order of the king, we have come from the capital to retrieve you!! It’s a very urgent matter so please come with us.”
With that said, I found myself being escorted away by two armoured men.
“Eh, right now!? Wai.. give me a moment first!!”
If I don’t say something to Aura and the others first, there’s no telling what will happen, especially to me.
“I’m sorry but this is a race against time.”
Whoa, are you serious…. I’m gonna get lectured when I get back…..
“Huh, Nest-san?”
Passing by us unexpectedly was the inn’s postergirl-chan.
“Ah, perfect timing! If you see Aura and the others, please tell them I’ve been summoned to the capital by the king and that they don’t have to worry about me!!”
Leaving behind those words, I was taken away by those armoured bastards.
――――――[Aura POV]―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Currently we were having a discussion about what to do from here on.
Apparently Nest was taken away to the capital when we weren’t aware.
“Jeez, what is Nest doing….”
I unintentionally let out a sigh.
Even the ever-smiling Lily had a gloomy expression after hearing the situation.
“Is Nest.. alright?”
“I think he should be fine. I heard it was an order from the King.”
But even if I believe he’s alright, I can’t help but think that there’s a chance of something bad happening.
“Yup, it’s useless to think any more! We’re going to the capital too!!”
“Yeah!!”
With that decided, there’s nothing more to discuss. We’ve saved up money from our work every day so we should have enough.
All that’s left is how we will get there, but…..
“Asha-san. Do you know any good means to get to the capital?”
We decided to ask Asha-san in the guild.
“Ah, could this be about Nest? I would like to go too, but I can’t leave my work….. As for traveling measures, it should be fine to ask a peddler. Luckily, Tré-san can use Recovery Magic so they should easily give you a ride.”
“Well then, please treat us well.”
We greet the peddler who will be giving us a ride to the capital and board the wagon.
Everything is so we can meet Nest.
