episode_0027

“Sister, sister! We’ve arrived. Come to your senses!”

“···.”

I got off the carriage and looked at the cityscape of Silica.

If Aven was a typical medieval city, the first thing that came to mind about Silica was a magic city.

Magic circles spread throughout the city, witches flying in the sky…

Just by looking around for a moment, I could understand that magic was present in every corner of my life.

By the way, it took a week to get to Silica.

I had no idea it would take this long…

When crossing an area in the game, you can do it in an instant, but now that it is real, you have to travel a long distance yourself.

“Unnie Airi… Unni Euphie isn’t waking up…”

ha.

Looking at Jupiter’s face lying on the floor, there is no body at all.

A person unfamiliar with your pale complexion and loss of all energy would mistake you for a seriously ill patient.

“Are you okay?”

“···.”

I waved my hand in front of my eyes to see if I had fainted.

widely!

In an instant, I slap my hand away.

I felt dizzy just by the hand shaking in front of my eyes.

“What should I do? Even magic doesn’t work on motion sickness…”

Coming here, a problem that no one expected arose from the first day.

As someone who was born and raised in Aven, it was a flaw she was unaware of.

Jupiter was weak against vehicles.

No, it’s not just weak.

If that were the case, it wouldn’t have taken this long.

If you ride a car, you’ll probably be sick within an hour.

I was lying down not even ten minutes after getting on the carriage.

“Shall I carry you?”

“Stop it. If you carry it, it will shake and you will get more motion sick.”

“Ha, the person who was so excited about riding a carriage for the first time….”

Actually, it wasn’t a distance that would take up to a week.

We would have arrived in about half that time.

The reason it took so long was entirely due to Jupiter dying.

“Jupiter? If you don’t wake up, I might throw you away.”

He gave a signal to Yuna, who was shocked by those words and was about to say something, to be quiet.

The motion sickness was so painful that it could kill me, but if I waited here until Jupiter got better, there was a high possibility that I wouldn’t be able to find a place to stay.

“Uh, eh…”

“Okay, you’re good. You can get up, right?”

“Wow…”

Even though he kept nagging, Jupiter eventually woke up.

I was watching to see if he could walk in that condition, but his steps were truly reminiscent of a newborn baby deer.

Did he walk one or three steps? In an instant, my posture breaks down and I collapse down.

“What should I do with this? My sister looks like she’s having a hard time.”

“I can’t help it. If things continue like this, I’ll end up sleeping on the streets, let alone finding a place to stay.”

“W-Is there any way?”

hmm.

I didn’t want to use this method if possible.

He placed the large envelope he had received from the coachman over Jupiter’s face.

“W-Wuuu!”

“Sister?! Yu, Yupi is suffering!”

Perhaps because it was a bag containing sour fruit, Jupiter could not overcome the sour-sweet scent and made a dying sound.

As she, who was unable to move in that state, was moved by placing it around her waist, the period of the sound became shorter and shorter.

As my body shakes, I cannot overcome the dizziness and spit out gastric juice. The smell of gastric juice trapped in the bag makes me nauseous, and the nausea causes me to spit out gastric juice again.

And the smell of that gastric juice makes me nauseous.

…The worst vicious cycle was taking place between those small envelopes.

“There’s nothing we can do. If we leave it like this, we’ll really end up homeless. The only thing we can do is find a room as quickly as possible and throw him on a bed.”

“That’s true, but…”

As I lifted Jupiter up and walked slowly without shaking as much as possible, the eyes of the citizens flocked to me.

After all, is it strange to carry around a limp person while wearing a nun’s uniform?

There was a possibility that it would look even more strange because the face was covered with an envelope.

“···Go quickly. You’re attracting too much attention.”

“W-Isn’t that right? Everyone’s eyes are so strange…!”

I tried to find accommodation as quickly as possible to avoid being misunderstood as a suspicious person, but it ended up being my first trip.

Even after wandering around for a while, I couldn’t find where the accommodation was.

Because we wandered around here and there without being able to find a place to stay, the number of people who saw us increased.

“There, stop!”

“Haa… It’s bothersome.”

Perhaps because they had received a report, three soldiers ran towards us.

“You brat, kidnapping someone in the middle of the street like this!”

“Well, that’s not it… This person is a member of our group…”

“It’s a lie that’s obvious! If that’s the case, then you can take off the envelope and ask her directly, right?”

I glanced at the inside of the envelope.

Jupiter is still unable to come to his senses.

···No matter how I looked at it, I was in no condition to answer even if I asked something.

“I’m sorry, she’s in a very difficult situation right now. Even if she asks something, it’s hard to answer.”

“Ha! That’s right! Surrender calmly! If you kidnap a nun and make a fuss with the guards, the punishment will only get bigger!”

Murmur.

Before we knew it, the residents who had come to visit after hearing the commotion had surrounded us with the soldiers.

Oh, shit.

If you want to run away, you can, but since the direction will be specified, you will definitely be chased.

Then they say it’s suspicious because he ran away again, and the same situation will repeat itself.

“Uh, sister. What should I do…?!”

driving me crazy.

Yuna is suddenly accused of being a criminal and is in a state of panic.

Jupiter, who can resolve misunderstandings, is all dying.

I have to meet the lord of this place and ask about the situation regarding the demons, so clashing with the soldiers is not a good choice.

“Okay, surrender.”

He grabbed the back of Yuna, who was panicking and fidgeting, and approached the soldiers.

“Are you really surrendering?”

Soldiers aim spears at their necks and ask questions carefully.

What are these guys?

Why are you so nervous?

“Yes. However, if she comes to her senses, I would like you to confirm the truth. She and I are part of the same group.”

When he came forward so confidently, the soldiers seemed to want to check the truth of what he said.

“···Yes, let’s do that. If you are found not guilty, you will be released.”

···what? release?

I felt dizzy from the soldiers’ words.

So now, even though my sentence hasn’t been confirmed, does this mean I’m going to jail?

As someone who lived in modern times and took the principle of presumption of innocence for granted, I could not understand those words.

Even if it’s a fantasy world, how could this happen?

“You mean we’re being released?! We’re not criminals! You’re trying to lock us up as you please!”

“All criminals or suspects here in Silica go to jail. It’s common sense.”

Yuna looked around in confusion, but there was no change in the expressions of the residents.

As if what they said was true, they started to criticize us and tell us to hurry up and catch them.

“Well, that can’t be possible? Did the law change in that short period of time?”

“···The law is changing?”

Come to think of it, Yuna was a student from this academy.

It is often said that he is the valedictorian of a prestigious academy.

You must be proud of that fact.

When he takes a break, he often tells stories about incidents at the academy.

“Well, there was no law like this until I was in school! This is tyranny!”

“What is this, an academy graduate? The wizard’s criminal actions become even deeper. Arrest him!”

When Yuna realized that she was a wizard, the slightly relaxed atmosphere became tense again.

Before we know it, the guards who realized the commotion came and threatened us.

It’s difficult.

…Oh, now that I think about it, was there a letter from the lord?

I showed him the seal on the letter just in case.

“Well, I am this kind of person…”

“What about that seal… No, wait a minute. It’s Lord Aben’s seal.”

oh?

Will it really be resolved?

I had been waiting for that for a while.

The guard’s expressionless expression changed for a moment after seeing the lord’s seal.

In a form that puts more pressure on us.

···why?!

“How dare you impersonate the renowned Sir Alfonso Aven! I will not forgive you, you bastards!”

“Now, wait a minute. That’s really the item that Aben gave us. Why don’t we just check the seal?”

“Ha! Do you think we would be fooled by a fake seal like this? We memorize all the seals of noble families! This is not the emblem of the Aben family!”

No, please.

Why are you doing this to me.

Was that really given to you by the lord?

These bastards say they memorized everything, but they only roughly memorized it, right?

“There is no need to look any further! You are being arrested for impersonating nobles!”

Holy crap.

Suddenly, he was upgraded from a suspect to a criminal.

You have to meet the lord, but if you defeat the soldiers here and run away, you will become a criminal.

Even if you are caught, you are still a criminal.

“Uh, uhh, what should I do?! If I keep this up, I’ll get arrested! Even if the misunderstanding is resolved, I’m still a criminal!”

Yes.

Our crimes are already kidnapping a nun and impersonating a nobleman.

The kidnapping of a nun can be explained as a misunderstanding, but the new crime of impersonating a noble cannot be resolved.

Of course, the letter I have is real, but I don’t know if they’re stupid or if they took the picture by mistake, but I’m judging it to be fake.

“Haa… Okay, take it.”

“But sister! We didn’t sin!”

“I know. But if you run away from here, you’ll be committing a real crime.”

“···Ugh!”

If you run away from here, you are truly a criminal.

But if you follow them, you can get rid of misunderstandings.

Since I have to meet the lord and hear an explanation about the demons, I can’t go too strong.

If you’re a real criminal, we won’t meet you.

“…For a criminal, he’s quite docile. If he cooperates like that, his sentence may be reduced.”

Yes, yes.

I understand, so please take me quickly.
