I had a dream.

I am unable to bear in mind what it was, however whereas I used to be dreaming, I felt part of me lacking and my coronary heart ached.

Possibly it wasn’t an excellent dream.

Little by little, I heard.

The sound of horseshoes hitting the bottom.

And my physique shaking barely with the beat.

Is that this why I wakened?

Then who’s supporting my physique that is leaning ahead?

I might really feel the arduous metallic contact on my cheeks, seems like somebody who’s carrying an armor.

I opened my eyes slowly.

To see silky crimson hair and a pure white nape.

Once I raised my brows, I might see a well-known magnificence with a chilly impression.

“Frillite?”

“Huh?!”

Maybe she was shocked after I known as out her identify all of a sudden, Frillite pulled the horse’s bridle in shock.

Her horse, with it is head pulled, raised it is higher physique and neighed. I tightened my legs round it is torso and held onto Frillite’s waist tightly to maintain myself from falling off the horse’s again.

No, it appears like I had been holding her waist tightly since I used to be asleep within the first place.

Once I wakened, my arms have been already wrapped round her waist.

The horse that was neighing calmed down and lowered its forelegs. At that second, Frillite let loose a sigh of reduction. She narrowed her forehead and checked out me.

“Why did you all of a sudden startle me? What if we each had fallen down?”

“You name that startling you? I simply opened my eyes and noticed you, so I known as your identify. How do I do know you’d get so shocked?”

“Think about that, somebody you thought was sleeping all of a sudden whispers in your ears. How will you not be shocked? And once you get up, present that you’re alive. For those who had, I would not have been startled.”

“I don’t even know what’s happening, and tips on how to present that I am awake? All proper, all proper. Let’s simply faux it is my fault.”

“Sigh… you continue to sulk at this age, huh?”

“Come on, when did I? Slightly, clarify what is the scenario proper now. The place are we going, and why am I sitting behind you?”

“Frilite-sama! We’re in a rush!”

“And what’s with that man speeding you?”

“I’ll let you know the small print as we transfer.”

Frillite pulled the reins and made the horse, which was standing, decide up the pace once more.

She opened her mouth when the horse started to gallop sooner.

“An Ogre appeared,” she mentioned.

“Ogre? Why rapidly?”

Ogres are stage 60 mid-lvl boss monsters.

As it’s a mid-lvl boss, the specs are so excessive that it can’t be in contrast with regular monsters of the identical stage.

As well as, the Ogres have a difficult attribute of fifty% immunity to bodily harm, so it’s troublesome to bash it until you’re a wizard.

It is quick—Ogres are arduous bones to chew.

“I don’t know why it appeared. Nevertheless, in accordance with that cavalryman, the forest the place the Ogre appeared has an surroundings have been Ogres can’t reside within the first place. So I am guessing that somebody with sick will deliberately launched that Ogre into the forest.”

“Ho… If that guess is appropriate, somebody’s fairly loopy. So, what does that should do with me accompanying you? You do not need a weak particular person like me to combat in opposition to an Ogre, do you?”

“You actually don’t bear in mind something?”

“Bear in mind what?”

“You actually don’t appear to recollect…”

She took a deep breath and shook her head.

“Once I heard that an Ogre had appeared, I used to be planning to depart you on the tavern. As a result of it is a danger that you could’t deal with. However I could not. Have you learnt why?”

“Why?”

“As a result of by the tip of the cavalryman’s report, you staggered to your ft and insisted on going with us.”

“Did I?”

“Yeah, you probably did. Irrespective of how arduous I attempted, you did not hear. Time was working out, so I had no different selection however to carry you together with me.”

“Um… actually?”

I made a selection after listening to the scenario whereas I used to be drunk.

It’s totally a lot doable.

If I met an murderer in a drunk state and may’t combat, would not that be a recreation over for me?

I am unable to bear in mind, however perhaps I heard the phrase ‘Ogre’ at the moment and considered the glyph.

The rationale I insisted on following her will need to have been to soak up the Ogre’s karma and to amass the Ogre’s glyph.

Effectively, it was an affordable selection.

However.

‘In the long run, it is my fault, isn’t it?’

I glanced at Frilite’s eyes.

As anticipated, it was these eyes, the eyes that wished to nag.

‘If she begins nagging proper now, I feel it’ll final till we arrive…’

That is horrible and simply as horrible.

I rapidly realized that the course of the topic must be modified.

What would it not be…

What sort of dialog can I begin to make Frillite overlook her nagging session?

I turned my head taut.

Then, luckily, I used to be in a position to open my mouth earlier than she began nagging me once more.

“However, are you okay with it?”

“With what?”

“The factor that I am caught with you want this. Though it is simply using a horse, we’re too shut, proper? Would not your fiancé really feel offended if he finds out, um?”

I discovered a joke that will make Frillite really feel troublesome.

If she panics and spits out some unusual phrases, I can seize her initiative and take management of the dialog.

Frillite, who missed her nag timing, will finally surrender on nagging.

“Fiancé? I’ve no such factor.”

However overshadowing the operation, she remained unperturbed.

No, greater than that, what did she say?

“You don’t have a fiancé? Why not? Aren’t you the daughter of a well-off noble household?”

“It is a well-off noble household… Effectively, you aren’t mistaken… however like I mentioned earlier than, I don’t have a fiancé. I’ve heard that there have been many nobles who wished to rearrange an engagement with our household, however I’ve heard that my father refused to all of them. And I’ve no complaints with that call. Slightly, I’m fairly happy.”

“Glad… Does not that imply you do not need to get married?”

“Proper now it is so. It is as a result of time is simply so tight on my aspect with simply coaching myself and saving the individuals. I’ve no time for meaningless issues like engagement or marriage.”

“Then what about after defeating the Demon King? Will you modify your thoughts then?”

“It have to be so, when the Demon King falls and the looks of monsters decreases and the continent enters a interval of stability. Because the inheritor, I’ve the duty to inherit the household.”

Frillite answered with a bitter smile. An ungainly silence ensued.

‘Man.’

Why is the ambiance all of a sudden uninteresting?

Why aren’t we speaking once more?

…if we go on like this, we will spend hours on this awkward ambiance.

It did not look like a lot, so I made a decision to spit out somewhat brazen joke.

Earlier than that, I laid some iron plates on my face…

Once I was prepared, I opened my mouth.
