Right now, we're in the middle of camping preparations.
Two days passed since we departed.
Thanks to camping outdoors, with our current momentum it seems likely we'll reach the Northern Country in four days.
By the way, although we're travelling by carriage, the horses are still full of energy.
Yup, I know ordinary horses couldn't handle that, but these children grew up in our territory.
For some reason, the horses from our territory are unaffected by fatigue.
A rumor says, a long time ago our ancestors bred horse type demons, and that's the result… Well, it's a rumor.
"Grandfather, once we reach the Northern Country, will we first visit grandmother's brother, granduncle?"
Because I don't understand the relationships between people of the Northern Country, prior information is necessary to calm my heart.
"Well, it'll be like that." Said grandfather.
"Ara? Dear, don't you think once it becomes known you're in the Northern Country a festival will be held?" Said grandmother.
A… festival?
"Leafia, it's been years since I've last been to the Northern Country. I'd expect they wouldn't stupidly raise a fuss anymore?"
"Ara ara, you are severely underestimating them. Your predictions will probably be overturned? Did you forget how passionate about power the Northern Country is? The big event held at the time of our wedding still remains a popular play there."
What's this, there were a lot of keywords said I want explained.
I wonder if I should interrupt them at once?
"Grandmother… Um~, by play do you refer to theater?"
"Yeah, that's right. The marriage between me and that person became a popular play."
Ah, because of that going to the Northern Country may also have been a bad idea.
Why was such an important information mentioned in passing?
I wonder if grandmother and grandfather became numb to such things.
Listening to their talk, others have the same expression as me.
Thinking it would be better to change a topic, Allen-kun asked grandmother.
"Umm, if your brother is so strong, is he an important man in the Northern Country?"
Ah~~, did you have to ask that.
Sure, I am a little curious, but I feel like I'll regret hearing that.
"Hm? Let's see~~, I wonder if you could call him a representative of the country."
R, representative of the country?
As we looked at each other, I began thinking we've heard something dangerous.
"Leafia, Lillina and her friends don't know anything about the Northern Country, so they won't understand what a representative is. Look, the Northern Country is a country of power, the nobles that keep the country together possess the highest power. Every few years a tournament is held, and a representative is chosen there. Leafia's house has been chosen every time."
That's, quite an outstanding feat?
The unexpected, no, in a certain meaning the expected answer, rendered us speechless.
"Although there is royalty, they have no basic right to interfere. Well, sometimes strong people appear and gain representative rights. That country is unusual~~."
Unusual, is it okay to summarize it with that one word?
I can only be surprised by what I keep learning about the Northern Country.
"But, don't you think it's interesting? Let's have fun."
Grandmother said such a thing overly happily.
Yup, let's lay low as to not get caught up in something strange.
Ignoring my determination, Sasuke-san looked at me
"You, will certainly, get involved." and said few words.
What's with this prediction.
But only I felt indignant at his opinion, Allen-kun and Ange-san also
"Allen, absolutely don't leave Lillinoneesama's side. Now that Sansan's not here, we must protect Lillinoneesama."
"Ah, got it. At any rate, let's not leave Lillinsama alone after we enter the Northern Country."
H, huh?
Have I become a problem child to everyone?
Although I cannot agree, I remained silent as I felt I couldn't win if I opened my mouth.
As a result of our quick pace while sleeping outdoors, we'll reach the Northern Country in an hour.
No, considering who we are it's really fast.
This time, no strange hindrance appeared, our journey went too well.
… I was thinking that, until a while ago.
However, at present, we are completely involved, yup.
Apparently, we've been assessed to have no guards as we travelled with few people.
"You guys, are you travelers from another country? If you want to pass, leave a suitable passage fee. Hm? Hee, why don't the pretty ladies accompany us. Hey, leave those girls behind. If you are obedient we won't take your lives. We are gentle."
The idiots surrounding the carriage laughed loudly after saying such a thing.
Hmm, why is it like this every time I go on a journey?
By the way, Allen-kun, Ange-san, and Sasuke-san are looking at me with their expressions saying 'as I thought.'
No no, it's not my fault?
