Three horse carriages are headed outside the territory of the Asgard Kingdom.
The villages and settlements attacked by demons are all outside the Asgard Kingdom. First, they will gather information in the village of the prophecy given by 『Fate』 Nakshatra.
The horse carriage carrying Albero and his group is moving slowly. Albero yawns widely.
ㅤ
“Hmm. . . . . .By the way, why is there a cargo horse carriage over there?”
ㅤ
It was just a passing thought.
The Student Council also has the Dimension sparrow. However, Albero and the others saw that they loaded a lot of luggage onto the horse carriages.
Then, Yorha says,
ㅤ
“. . . . . .They said they can’t trust the demon beasts, so they loaded the important luggage directly onto the horse carriage.”
“Eh, then what about the yellow Dimension sparrow?”
“It seems they did bring it. That boy named Grits? had it in a cage.”
“Really now. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Albero sighs.
Anyway, it seems it’s not being treated unfairly, which is a relief.
Albero looks at Kuro Piyo, who is sleeping on a cushion in the corner of the horse carriage.
ㅤ
『Piyu-lulu. . . . . .』
“. . . . . .Even if controlled by Nisrok’s power, demon beasts. . . . . .No, this one is also a Summoned beast, isn’t it?”
ㅤ
The demon beasts existing in this world were Summoned beasts that the Demon Emperor had summoned in the past.
When the Demon Emperor was sealed, the connection was severed, and without returning to the world of Summoned beasts, they remained in this world. They then reproduced among themselves and increased explosively over the past several decades.
The Summoned beasts left behind by the Demon Emperor. Commonly known as demon beasts.
When demon beasts die, they don’t leave a corpse but disappear in a puff of smoke after a few hours. Why do the dead Summoned beasts disappear? One theory is that the Summoned beasts become souls, return to the world of Summoned beasts, and take on flesh again.
ㅤ
“Humans and Summoned beasts. . . . . .Maybe if we talk to demon beasts, we might understand them.”
『Piyu-lulu』
ㅤ
Albero moves closer to Kuro Piyo and strokes its fluffy head.
“Ah! Albero, that’s not fair. I want to touch Kuro Piyo-chan too!”
“Oh, me too! So fluffy and cute.”
“Wait, I’m next!”
“Hold on, I want to touch it too!”
ㅤ
Lapis, Ridelle, Yorha. Then Ashe shouts, opening the window from the coachman’s seat.
And so, the struggle for Kuro Piyo began.

One of the three horse carriages for A-Class Summoners was for the royal Sanbalt.
Currently, Esterize and Sanbalt are both riding in this horse carriage.
ㅤ
“Esterize, would you like some tea?”
“Thank you, but I’m good.”
“Is that so?”
ㅤ
Sanbalt is undoubtedly a gentleman.
However, he’s incompetent. That’s Esterize’s assessment.
Esterize doesn’t desire a love marriage. It’s about capability. Whether someone is suitable to succeed her father, who became a Margrave.
She considered entrusting her territory to Rashild and entering the royal palace. Yet, Esterize had always admired owning and managing her own territory.
Especially since her father was incompetent in management. She always had thoughts like 『I would do it this way』 or 『I wouldn’t make such mistakes』.
ㅤ
“By the way, Esterize. . . . . .about your younger brother.”
“My brother? You mean Rashild and Fugil. . . . . .”
“No. The youngest. . . . . .Albero.”
“. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Esterize’s eyebrows moved just slightly.
However, Sanbalt didn’t notice such a change.
ㅤ
“Can’t you, well, reconcile with him?”
“Huh?”
ㅤ
Then, she inadvertently let out a strange sound.
Reconciliation. In other words, making up.
Albero and Esterize making up. Esterize, who abandoned Albero during the demon attack, making up. Esterize, who tried to kill Albero in a mock battle, making up.
It made no sense.
ㅤ
“I’ve been thinking. Albero. . . . . .he dislikes you. It’s not that he thinks everything about you is bad, but if you apologize, I believe Albero would forgive you. Maybe Albero could change his heart and cherish his sister, you?”
“. . . . . .”
“Hey, what if, just what if? You leave the Helheim territory to Rashild, let your brothers Fugil and Albero manage one of the territories, and you. . . . . .well. . . . . .”
“Prince Sanbalt, it’s almost time for a break, isn’t it?”
“Oh, right. . . . . .yes, it is.”
ㅤ
The horse carriage ahead stopped.
There’s a small cabin by the side of the road. A break is taken here as the journey ahead is long.
Esterize shows a radiant smile, captivating Sanbalt.
ㅤ
“Your Highness. The weather is lovely. Could you serve me some of your tea?”
“Ah, yes! I’ll brew a special tea for you!”
ㅤ
Esterize reaffirmed her decision.
She won’t marry this Sanbalt, no matter what.
