Ex Strongest Swordsman Longs For Magic In Different World - Chapter 38

No Road is Long without Good Company

Kingdom of Radius, the territory of Neumont, Tendall.

Just now, Aina remembered the place they had just left. She suddenly leaked a breath while looking ahead.

The sky was blue and the wind was calm.

The sun was warm, and it was a good day for traveling.

Even so, she was somewhat depressed

“Hmm. My intuition is saying that way is suspicious!” (Soma)

“It is certain that there is no mistake since Nii-sama is saying so! I will also accompany yo!” (Lina)

Well again, it went without saying that the cause of the depression was this idiot siblings.

Perhaps it should be said that rather than the rampant feelings she had in the beginning, she was wondering if the trip was getting worse since they had started traveling.

Aina was probably holding back, but it was certain that was the cause of the headache.

“Hey, you two idiots over there! I should say this much, but we don’t have to spare time to detour!” (Aina)

“Hmm Indeed. I surely heard that, but unfortunately I don’t remember agreeing to that!” (Soma)

“Me too!” (Lina)

“Too noisy!” (Aina)

While sighing all out, Aina put hands on the head to endure the headache.

Such arguments had been repeated many times until now, and Aina basically gave in, but this time wouldn’t be such a time.

“Didn’t you say that it would be a ha.s.sle if we don’t reach the next territory before today is over? As a result, I think that we have been holding back a lot, so I don’t think we can afford doing this much.” (Aina)

“Muu You are right, but it seems that side is somewhat suspicious!” (Soma)

“You always say that, but there is nothing wrong at all! No, although you were occasionally got it right, but as it turns out, it has nothing to do with magic, not even a single bit.” (Aina)

“No, that’s why. The fact that it always felt out of place until now means it will come soon!” (Lina)

“Is that because of a hopeless thinking?” (Aina)

While exchanging such words, when returning to the main road, Soma and Lina, who were about to spend time until the day after tomorrow, reluctantly followed Aina.

It seemed that this time was somehow no good, and they understood it.

It was entirely like that between, Aina, Soma and Lina.

While the three of them kept traveling, when they noticed it, one year had pa.s.sed.

Despite all that much time had pa.s.sed, they still hadn’t gone out from the Neumont territory. Well, the reason was like what happened just now.

It was because of Soma and his group No, it was entirely because of Soma alone because he was doing whatever he liked.

It couldn’t be helped based on the purpose of the trip. Originally, it was Soma’s purpose alone, and he was an unprecedented person.

As expected, they couldn’t find the method if they searched normally, and it was certainly true when he was told that, but according to his intuition, he examined places that he felt suspicious, and that much was unreasonable.

After Lina followed them along, Aina would lose by majority vote whenever she objected, and well, even if Soma said this and that, for Aina to recognize such behaviors, wouldn’t that be problematic too?

In addition, when Aina was told that a journey would be something like this, she was really thinking as it was.

However, the journey that Aina knew wasn’t like this.

“Ah, yes. Lina-sa Lina.” (Aina)

While she still hadn’t called the name yet, she remembered something about the girl at the rear who she was about to call.

When she noticed, she lowered her voice while worrying about Soma who was naturally leading the group.

“Say, is it really fine not to tell him?” (Aina)

“I think it is fine. It is not necessary to tell Nii-sama, but whenever it becomes necessary, it is good enough to know at that time.” (Lina)

Speaking of something, here was the territory of Neumont. In other words, Soma’s family name was Neumont, and his household was a Duke’s household.

Yes, Soma was still unaware of it.

Although Aina was walking in the territory in low profile, whether they need to know when they were in a town, they didn’t bother to talk about which territory they were at present.

For that reason, they didn’t bring up this particular topic until now.

It was also something that Soma didn’t care about, so for now, Lina thought that it was unnecessary to let him know.

Of course, it was alright to tell Aina, but it felt different if compared it to Soma.

Nonetheless, the reason Lina told her was not because to prevent Aina from going against her household, but she told Aina just to avoid things that might become troublesome later.

Well, since Aina was said to come from same kind of household, she somehow understood that kind of thing.

While doing so, Lina already finished talking, and she walked toward Soma.

However, Aina was slightly dissatisfied.

It was true that there was no problem not to be aware about that matter, but it felt somehow lonely

“Hmmm? I see. I was wondering what were you both talking about I guess Aina feels lonely when sleeping alone, is it? It is certainly a problem” (Soma)

“Wait a sec! I haven’t said anything like that at all!” (Aina)

Perhaps, she acted like that to mislead him, but how did he come up with that?

For the time being, both of them were stopping and looking at her with warm eyes, as if they understood her.

“So, you really never thought of it?” (Lina)

“Well” (Aina)

Aina suddenly remembered what happened this morning.

Basically, Aina often slept together with others.

One of the reasons was because they were sleeping outdoors, and it was also a mean of safety.

At least, Aina and Lina had been together until now, but there were various things happened yesterday, so they slept on their own.

The room was small but it felt wide.

When she got up, there was no one else in that room.

This situation was good enough to make Aina remembered that she started traveling alone nearly two years ago.

“Aah, there is no such thing, you know!” (Aina)

“Why did you hesitated just now?” (Soma)

“That was unusual.” (Lina)

“Sh-shut up!” (Aina)

Aina noticed that her cheeks become reddened, so she turned her face away.

That was awkward.

Perhaps, she didn’t say it properly.

However, the other two noticed it.

The current condition of Aina was a bit strange.

For Aina, traveling was a tough matter.

She went on a road that she didn’t know whether it would merge with other roads alone, and she also didn’t know if she could meet people she could trust.

She couldn’t get that thought out of her mind even when she was sleeping and she got exhausted, she arrived at that village as if she had given up.

She was wondering if it was alright to do that.

It might be Aina had simply become someone who couldn’t trust others at that time.

In Aina’s view, the fact that going a journey was a harsh matter wasn’t wrong, but doing it together with Soma and Lina was actually fun.

On that day, Soma forcibly pulled her hand.

And Lina joined right after that.

It was certainly fun, but

No, when Aina thought about it further, she shook her head.

It was because it was still fun even now.

That was why she let out her voice to blow the unnecessary thoughts.

“Which remind me, even if Soma said so, Lina also feels lonely when she sleep alone, right? When it come to sleeping together, Lina is the one who get into my futon in most cases.” (Aina)

“Hoho?” (Soma)

“Ah, th-that is a secret yes, it is! It is a coincidence definitely! I made a mistake when I was sleeping!” (Lina)

“You are stuttering when you said that, you know” (Aina)

Aina let out a deep breath when she said that.

The sky was blue and the wind was calm.

The sun was warm and smiles naturally appeared on the faces of these three. Indeed, it was a perfect day for traveling.

Their current location was at the southernmost tip of the Neumont territory.

It would not take long before reaching the next territory.
