The demon subjugation unit gathered in front of the royal castle.
In front of the royal castle, there were four horse carriages. One was for S-class, and the remaining three were for A-class.
One was for transportation, another for luggage, and the last one was for the royalty, Sanbalt.
Sanbalt was holding his head.
ㅤ
“Yorha. Why are you here. . . . . .”
“I’m leading the S-class. Is there a problem with me being here?”
“I heard from father that you were removed from the subjugation unit?”
“That must be a mistake. I am an S-Class Summoner and the leader of the S-Class Summoners. Onii-sama, despite being the next heir to the throne, are you planning to do such a dangerous job?”
“. . . . . .I am an A-Class Summoner. Facing the demon threat.”
“Before I was an S-Class Summoner, I was an A-Class. Did you forget?”
“. . . . . .”
“Well then, excuse me. Onii-sama.”
“. . . . . .sigh.”
ㅤ
It seems the relationship between the brother and sister is not good, Albero thought as he observed the scene.
Looking at the A-class horse carriage, Fugil was instructing the B-class junior Student Council officers to load the luggage.
Other Student Council members were encouraging Esterize and Rashild, and bowing to Oswald.
ㅤ
“Albero, have you finished checking the luggage?”
“Yeah, I finished it yesterday, so it’s fine. What about Ashe?”
“Of course, it’s fine! Lapis and Ridelle have checked, and it’s in 『Kuro Piyo』-chan’s stomach.”
“Kuro Piyo. . . . . ..”
ㅤ
The door of the horse carriage was open, offering a brief view inside.
On a fluffy cushion, a black Dimension sparrow was curled up, sleeping soundly.
Its name is Kuro Piyo. A name the girls thought of late into the night.
After all the checks, Meteore came to encourage them. Beside him was a girl in a white nun’s habit.
ㅤ
“Line up!”
ㅤ
At Esterize’s command.
The subjugation unit lined up in front of Meteore. Of course, including the S-class.
Only Kid reluctantly moved, but the other members obeyed Esterize’s command. Albero had no intention of causing a dispute from the very beginning.
Meteore spoke with a warm smile.
ㅤ
“I am proud of you all, facing this new demon threat. Please be careful. And. . . . . .Oswald, please take care of the students.”
“Yes. Leave it to me.”
ㅤ
Oswald respectfully bowed.
Albero and Meteore’s eyes met. Then, Meteore smiled and nodded.
Furthermore, he made eye contact with the white nun.
ㅤ
“. . . . . .”
“. . . . . .huh?”
ㅤ
The white nun’s lips moved slightly.
ㅤ
『May God bless you』
ㅤ
Albero felt as if he heard such a voice.
ㅤ
◇◇◇◇◇◇
ㅤ
“Be careful where you step, Princess.”
“Thank you, Wolve.”
“It’s nothing.”
ㅤ
It was A-Class Summoner Wolve who was helping Esterize into the horse carriage.
At eighteen, he looked somewhat older. His uniform was loose, and a golden chain shimmered at his chest. He rolled up his sleeves, showing his upper arms, giving off a rebellious vibe.
His hair reached about mid-back and was tied at the back of his head. His nonchalant smile while escorting Esterize surprisingly suited him.
Then, Sanbalt’s eyebrows twitched.
ㅤ
“Wolve, aren’t you supposed to be with the luggage horse carriage? Leave this to me and head over there.”
“Oops. Sorry about that. Took the playboy’s job.”
ㅤ
Wolve, with his hands still in his pockets, headed to the luggage horse carriage. He then climbed onto its roof and laid down.
The driver, Fugil, remarked.
ㅤ
“Um, isn’t it dangerous up there?”
“Don’t worry about it. I just want to enjoy the breeze.”
“Well, uh. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Wolve promptly fell asleep.
As the horse carriage started moving, Fugil, having no choice, proceeded. Despite the motion, Wolve continued his nap without falling.
Albero watched this scene from inside the carriage.
ㅤ
“Is he also an A-Class Summoner? I wonder if he’s strong.”
“Probably a weakling. More importantly. . . . . .can she even handle being a driver?”
“Oh, Ashe is the daughter of the Rushout family’s line of butlers. She’s trained in the necessary skills for a butler.”
ㅤ
That was Kid’s question.
The one serving as their driver was Ashe.
The horse pulling the carriage was Marcosias, so no driver was necessary. Ashe served both as a lookout and a driver.
Lapis opened the window designated for the driver and spoke.
ㅤ
“Ashe, if you get cold, come inside anytime. Marcosias will be fine.”
“Thank you. But I’ve got this.”
ㅤ
Ashe seemed quite motivated.
Those riding the horse carriage were Albero, Kid, Ashe, Lapis, Ridelle, and Yorha. The ten-seater carriage was spacious with a small staircase leading to a second floor, which was a bedroom for the women.
Leivinia and Nisrok stayed back. Garnet acted as their guardian, making sure they attended classes and occasionally took them shopping in town. The dormitory fridge was filled with a large number of sweets made by Kid and Ridelle.
Albero opened a window.
It would take quite some time just to leave the Asgard Kingdom. They would probably spend the entire day being jostled in the horse carriage.
ㅤ
“A new demon, huh? Wonder what kind of creature it is.”
“Hmph. If it’s 『lust』, that would be great.”
“I personally don’t prefer a very strong opponent.”
“I’ll do my best this time!”
“I don’t think it’s like Leivinia or Nisrok. The new demon has destroyed several villages and settlements. . . . . .We mustn’t let our guard down.”
ㅤ
Albero clenched his right hand tightly and then opened it again.
