Since I had already traveled quite a long distance, the closest city to my direction was in the lands of Mirkwood Kingdom.
However, there is one thing that was a problem here.
It was the fact that I didn't have an entry permit to that kingdom.
Although if you are an adventurer of a rank above D-rank, traveling between kingdoms is a bit easy, that is not the case for the Mirkwood Kingdom.
To enter there, you either need to have a connection with an elf who has enough authority or you need to have a document of your home country, which was something I did not have.
Therefore, after realizing that, I changed my direction to the closest human city, which was, of course, the city of Lismore.
While we were on the road, Lirienne was sleeping on my back with slow and steady breaths.
'To think that she could sleep like that, she must be very tired.'
I thought, observing the face of this elven girl.
'Who would have thought such an innocent-looking girl would be the one that would massacre countless elves? I guess appearances always have the chance to misguide you.'
Although resting in every type of condition is a must-have skill for an adventurer or any other combatant, I don't think a princess of such a kingdom will have these skills.
Most of the time, in novels and any other games, those princes and princesses of higher standing would be nominated as strong, which is not wrong.
They are strong, almost all of them having absolute strength.
However, if there is one thing they lack, that would be the missing of life-threatening situations.
Because almost all parents would look after their children….
Almost…
Anyway, that was my expression of her when I saw her for the first time.
A girl who doesn't know about the outside world.
Because even though she is abandoned and burning with revenge, if she was a bit more mature, she would be able to focus on what is in front of her.
Right now, since I had destroyed the evil spirit and the weapon Veraanix, she won't have the strength she had in the game.
At least, this is the case in the beginning.
This means that, for her, the best course of action should be looking for opportunities to get stronger, not drowning in the feeling of hatred.
Revenge is a meal that is eaten cold.
You can't rush things while having your revenge.
"Hmm…."
While I was thinking that, I heard a muffled voice coming from my behind.
/TWITCH/
And soon, a little twitch followed.
"Huh?"
Hearing this, I immediately started slowing down, foreseeing the incoming response.
"Who?"
And just as I slowed down, the girl behind me grabbed me and pulled me back.
Now, that was to be expected since when you suddenly wake up and see yourself clinging to another person whom you don't know much about, you would give the same reaction as well.
"Calm down."
"..."
"I said calm down."
And for situations like these, most of the time, pushing the other party into their senses is a lot better than doing nothing and accepting it.
"Ah…. Sorry…."
Because it saves you the time and annoying actions that will soon follow.
"No problem."
"...."
Seeing her looking around curiously, I opened my mouth again.
"You have been sleeping for approximately two hours now. You must be very tired."
"….. Yes…."
'Somehow, I feel like I am talking with a doll.'
With her simple and blunt responses, I thought.
"Where are we going to?"
Since the environment must be unfamiliar to her, she asked.
"We are going to the closest city."
"Human city?"
"Yes. It is called Lismore City. Have you ever heard it?"
"No."
"Well, that is pretty normal."
"..."
"What is your condition? Are you okay traveling, or do you need a rest?"
Since she was just a two-star, her condition is incomparable to mine. Remembering the time I first traveled from the mansion to the second closest city, I decided to give her a bit of time.
/GRUMBLE/
However, the answer that came was not from her mouth but from somewhere below.
"Let's stop for now."
'It is not like I can't afford to rest either.'
"…..Okay….."
There was a faint blush on her face when she was saying that.
'Well, I guess that would be embarrassing even for a blatant girl like her.'
That was what I thought before stopping Night and jumping from her.
"There, my girl. Here, get your snacks. You did really well."
When you travel for a long time on your own without partying with anyone, in the end, the person or the thing you talk to would be your mount, which I am doing pretty much most of the time.
Just like that, after patting Night and giving her snacks, I turned my attention to the girl that was wiggling around.
"What is wrong?"
"….."
"??? You need to tell me if you need anything. Else I can't do nothing."
'I don't know how this girl did live her life before, but she seriously has a communication problem.'
"…. I need to pee…."
"Ah….. My bad, that was a bit insensitive of me."
'It is no wonder she couldn't ask.'
Well, toilet problem is one of the things an adventurer also should consider while traveling, which in this case, we have those sacks prepared from Slime skins….
"You can use this."
Saying that I threw the sack to her.
"What is this?"
However, the response I got from her was something different.
"You don't know what this is?"
"No."
"You don't have those in your home?"
"We don't."
"What? What are you using while urinating, then?"
"We don't use anything."
"..."
That response was something I was not expecting but something I should have expected at the same time.
"To think this is also what they meant by being close to nature…."
I mumbled and gestured to her.
"If that is the case, then I won't say anything. Do whatever you want."
Since I couldn't show her what to do, there was nothing I could do besides letting her.
'There is just no way I am teaching a girl how to use urination packs.
"I really thing we will have a long way to go."
With that mumble, I started setting up the camp….
