Chapter 200: The People Seeing Off and Departure from the Royal Capital

"「Priestess-sama, thank you!」"

"Mou, don’t play in the outside forest~."

Suddenly a voice was heard so I looked around and Rosina talked with two children.

One of them is the girl from whose stomach Rosina took out the maggot.

Apparently she recovered.

From today the third day since I was declared exile from the kingdom Rosina has not examined in the square.

On the surface considering the people’s feelings they say but I can tell Lucia’s consideration is largely included.

"Thank you truly. Come on, you."

"I’m really sorry."

A woman who seems the children’s mother thanked and the father put his head to the ground prostrating.

Prostrating to a Dule I think is an unbearable act for people of this country but considering that the father quite regrets what he did to Rosina and Sheena I suppose.

...He might simply not be able to raise his head to his wife.

"Master, preparations are ready."

Muriel said to me.

"Then shall we go."

...

"Priestess-sama~, come again~. Definitely~."

The children saw us off waving their hands large.

Rosina and Sheena also waved their hands.

Few seeing off is lonely but Helene and the others due to their position cannot publicly see off a criminal.

Lucia is... these children are instead of seeing off I suppose.

Because it was none other than Lucia who told the children today we leave the kingdom.

By now she is examining in the square instead of Rosina perhaps.

Then...

"Yo, Boss! I came to see you off... wait, that was close. Almost didn’t make it."

When we came out to the main street Harold came to see us off leading subordinates.

Muriel being considerate stopped the carriage at the edge of the road.

When I got off the carriage Harold and the others also got off the carriage.

"The leader is bad. He seemed to prepare something... a ita!"

"Idiot! Don’t spill it!"

Harold hit his subordinate’s head with the sword sheath he held.

"A, no, sorry. This instead of a farewell gift."

Saying that Harold held out the sword he hit the subordinate with to me.

"Quite a famous sword. The inscription is Caladbolg apparently. If you chant the password you can shoot lightning magic."

That sword is about to my waist size and looking at the handle long to hold with one hand it is like a bastard sword.

"Is it fine? Receiving such a famous sword."

While saying that I received the sword.

Lighter than I thought.

I pulled it halfway from the sheath but the blade beautifully shines without a single nick.

Looking closely something like letters was written on the core part.

"Aa, I don’t know the password and it’s too light for me."

"How about the others?"

"Nelly has a beloved sword and it’s wasted on the others."

When Harold said that laughing voices like that’s right, or no way rose from the subordinates.

"Well I don’t want to meet as an enemy but this side is mercenaries, that side is free. I don’t know how it will become. If we become enemies I won’t show mercy."

Harold said that floating a refreshing smile but the content is cruel.

"Aa, got it."

But for them doing mercenary work yesterday’s friend is today’s enemy is a natural thing I suppose.

So I also nodded lightly but inwardly heavy.

"Master, soon..."

"If we don’t go quickly Baldo-san will get angry~."

Muriel and Rosina prompted me.

"Oo, Rosina also stay well. Muriel too."

"Harold-sama also stay well."

"Don’t make Nelly-chan cry~."

Muriel and Rosina also exchanged greetings with Harold.

Behind several subordinates had nosebleeds or bent forward and were hit on the head by Nelly.

"Then."

"Ou. Take care."

Muriel sat on the driver’s seat and operated the reins.

The carriage slowly started running.

Everyone waved their hands and we also waved back from inside the carriage.

Until we turned from the noble district to the main street that continued.

...

When we arrived at the gate to go outside the town Baldo waited.

On the surface to watch me leave the royal capital but the royal guard knight captain himself coming out while busy is to see me off perhaps.

"Hiroyuki Asahi, with this for the next ten years you are forbidden from passing this gate."

When Baldo said that a man who seems a magician wearing a robe applied magic to me.

Inside the carriage the Dules became noisy but Sophia settled that.

"This is magic that makes you unable to enter this town. It is set to disappear after ten years. ...Let’s meet again in ten years."

At first he said that expressionlessly businesslike but in the latter half he fu softened his expression.

"Aa, stay well until then."

When I nodded Baldo requested a handshake.

I firmly gripped back.

"The first time we met was also here."

"Aa, that’s right."

Thinking that it is impressive.

At that time I lined outside leading Tiria.

"Please wait a little!"

Then a shout was heard from behind.

When I turned around a child wearing heavy-looking armor running this way can be seen.

No, that is... Birga.

"Haa, haa, I made it, haa, haa, fuu."

Birga who ran to me put both hands on both knees and regulated her breathing.

"Did you come to see off?"

When I asked Birga shook her head bun bun.

"Please take me too."

Birga who finally regulated her breathing looked at my face from the front and said that.

"Nn? Fine. Is Birga also going in the direction of Lübeck town?"

They say travel is a companion.

"Th-that’s right. For now can I accompany?"

Birga stammered and requested again.

"Fine but is this okay?"

Saying that I pointed at the carriage.

Inside half-naked fully nude Dules looked this way with interest.

"...I-I don’t mind!"

Birga whose face twitched for an instant and hips pulled back said that raising her voice then boarded the carriage without waiting for my reply.

Baldo and I sighed looking at Birga sitting on the carriage floor hanging her head looking embarrassed.

What is it?

"Well anyway. Let’s depart soon."

"Aa, take care. Let’s meet in ten years."

I shook hands with Baldo again then boarded the carriage everyone rides.

"Baldo-sama, thank you for taking care."

"See you~."

"Stay well."

Muriel, Rosina, Cathy who know Baldo well called out.

"Tiria, greet Baldo."

I also had Tiria call out.

"Yes. Baldo-sama, please take care of this kingdom where Father and Mother sleep."

Tiria bowed her head.

"...Ha, Princess. Even exchanging my life."

Baldo saluted and saw us off.

The carriage started advancing the ruts toward Lübeck town.
