“We have a business on the mountain at the back, but our carriage can’t enter the mountain path, so we thought to leave it here.” (Sirius)
“Mountain… is it? I don’t remember hearing if anything is there.” (Butler)
“We will return immediately, it’s just a small business. We are going to leave it here until the early afternoon at the latest, would that be alright?” (Sirius)
After the old butler looked up at the sky for an instant, he nodded after showing that he had thought about it a bit. It still early based on the brightness of the sky, if we take off with our carriage after visiting the grave, we will arrive at Almest by evening.
“…There is no problem if you leave the carriage here. Since there is a space, you can use it as you like. However, you must absolutely leave in the afternoon.” (Butler)
As the butler declared coldly, he closed the entrance. I am not able to step over this compound anymore because I threw away the family name. I had a bitter smile, but the siblings were disappointed because we weren’t able to convince them.
“I understand the reason but it is sad that Sirius-sama can’t enter the house that you lived.” (Emilia)
“Though it is a house with our precious memories…” (Reus)
“It can’t be helped. The house is surely important but I already cut off any relation with that man who did bad things to mother and others.” (Sirius)
Talking about that Bardomyl, I probably won’t be born because of that blood related father but the interaction after that was cruel, so I absolutely won’t call him father. Whether the siblings understand that feeling, the siblings who stood on my left and right sides didn’t say anything anymore.
While stroking the siblings’ heads, I instructed Hokuto to place the carriage in the space in front of the entrance that was told by the old butler. Emilia asked me when I would be ready to enter the mountain while holding necessary things on hand.
“Sirius-sama, will the carriage be alright if it is left here just like that?
“That’s right. There’s also possibility where thieves and bad people will steal the carriage while we are not here.” (Reese)
“I have thought about that properly. When mana is poured here in the carriage, the anti-theft function will be activated.” (Sirius)
The magic formation will cancel the weight reduction, and there is a switch that simultaneously activates the side brake that makes the wheel unable to turn. Furthermore, it is going to be alright because the shutter doors attached on every direction of the carriage are lowered and locked. Since the shutter doors are made from Gravilite, it doesn’t break easily and it is necessary to have the strength to destroy the carriage itself in order to get inside.
It will let out special mana wave that can be found by my [Search], so I can find it immediately even if it is stolen if by any chance.
With no truck or heavy machineries in this world, I don’t think it is easy to move a several tonnes carriage with wheels that can’t turn. After I finished set it up, I asked Reus to test it.
“Oo…oooo!? It’s not giving an inch, Aniki!” (Reus)
“When it’s installed with dedicated wheel stop, it won’t be easy to be moved. Well, unless there is a monster that can lift several tonnes of carriage.” (Sirius)
Since I installed anti-theft function for such conduct, I think I will praise the thieves instead if they can steal it. Well, I would chase them properly and after praising them, I will give them punishment.
Lastly, we lowered down the shutter doors, finished our preparation and entered the mountain.
