Albero returned home after a long time.
Although he refers to it as “home”, it’s not the Rushout residence. It’s the house he purchased in the Kingdom of Asgard.
He has left the management of this place to Yorha’s subordinates. He only came here to retrieve the reward money.
In the basement of his home, Albero opened one of the many barrels filled with gold coins and casually filled his wallet.
When he came up from the basement, three maids greeted him.
ㅤ
“I’ve finished my business. Continue to manage the place.”
“””Understood, Master.”””
“Ah, right. . . . . .Johanna, Luina, Mine.”
ㅤ
The three loyal maids to Albero remained bowed.
He heads towards the entrance, and the butler Heimdall was there.
ㅤ
“Danna-sama, take care.”
“Hmm, I rarely come home, so feel free to do as you wish. Here.”
“T, This is…”
ㅤ
Albero handed Heimdall a bag filled with gold coins.
It’s an amount that a commoner could live leisurely without working for about two years. But it’s only a fraction of what is stored in the house’s basement. He had casually filled the bag.
ㅤ
“Use it as you see fit. Consider it a bonus.”
“Danna-sama. . . . . .thank you.”
“Alright, take care of the rest.”
ㅤ
With that, Albero headed outside.
Outside, Ashe and the others of the S-class were all assembled.
Ashe, hands on hips, spoke.
ㅤ
“You’re late.”
“Sorry about that. Shall we go?”
ㅤ
On Marcosias’s back was a custom-made sturdy box to carry. Inside it were the belongings of Albero and the S-class.
There was also a large basket with handles. Inside the basket were circular seats, all facing the center. After everyone settled in, the door of the basket was shut.
Ashe said to Gryphon.
ㅤ
“Gryphon, it’s going to be quite heavy. . . . . .don’t overdo it, okay?”
『Chirp. . . . . .』
ㅤ
Gryphon chirped softly, acting affectionately towards Ashe.
As everyone boarded the basket, Gryphon grabbed the handle and took off.
Gryphon then sneered at Marcosias.
ㅤ
『Don’t lag behind, okay?』
『You too.』
To Albero, it seemed like they were having a back and forth.
Gryphon and Marcosias usually get along. . . . . .but this time, they were competitive.
Ashe and Lapis exchanged glances.
ㅤ
“Uh oh. . . . . .Gryphon might have gotten a bit too spirited.”
“Looks like Marcosias too. . . . . .”
“Hey, don’t tell me. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Albero tried to check with the two, but it was too late.
ㅤ
『ROOOOAAAAAAR!!』
『SCREEEEEECH!!』
ㅤ
They both took off, as if racing.
It seemed like Marcosias and Gryphon were racing to see who could reach the Isavel territory first.
The basket was violently shaken, jostling everyone inside.
ㅤ
“”Woooaaahh!”!”
“””””Eeeekkk!!”””””
“Hey Ashe, get Gryphon to stop!”
“Can’t can’t! He won’t stop!”
“Marcosias, slow down!”
“So shaky~”
“Haha! This is fun!”
“Oh, no, me. . . . . .a princess. . . . . .can’t. . . . . .get sick. . . . . .”
“Fast, but maybe I’m faster. . . . . .everyone okay?”
ㅤ
Everyone except Ridelle and Leivinia went through a few hellish hours.
ㅤ
◇◇◇◇◇◇

Isavel Territory.
A small domain with several villages and a slightly larger town.
The main industries are agriculture, livestock, and sericulture. Especially, the milk from cows raised in the Isavel territory is exquisite.
Cheese, butter, etc., are shipped to other territories and are highly regarded.
Albero and his group arrived in Isavel territory and reached the central city of Isavel in just half a day.
At the town’s entrance, Gryphon and Marcosias came to a halt. Given that summoned beasts freely roamed the streets, they didn’t attract much attention.
Albero finally got off from Gryphon’s back.
ㅤ
“Is, is this Isavel. . . . . .Ugh, I feel sick.”
“Gryphon. . . . . .you’ll pay for this later.”
『Whistles softly. . . . . .』
“Marcosias, you too.”
『Whines softly. . . . . .』
ㅤ
Both seemed regretful. However, they had hurried and arrived in just one day.
Yorha looked pale. She spoke with a strained voice.
ㅤ
“Let’s, let’s greet the acting lord. . . . . .by the way, he’s my ally. . . . . .ugh.”
“Hey, don’t throw up, Scheming Princess-sama.”
“I won’t throw up! Really. . . . . .”
“Hey, hey! Let’s go and have some fun! Come on, Nisrok!!”
“Hmm. . . . . . I’m sleepy.”
“Hey, hey, we shouldn’t go!”
ㅤ
Ridelle grabbed Leivinia by the collar to stop her.
Albero gazed at the town.
It wasn’t as bustling as the capital of the Asgard kingdom, but there was still a lot of foot traffic, many restaurants, and shops.
ㅤ
“The lord’s mansion is at the very back of the town, on that slightly elevated hill, surrounded by trees.”
ㅤ
What Yorha pointed to was a mansion on a hill that was easily visible from the entrance.
Kid commented from a distance.
ㅤ
“Hey, why don’t we get Gryphon to carry us?”
“No. We just got off at the entrance of the town; we’ll walk.”
“. . . . . .Tsk.”
ㅤ
Kid clicked his tongue, but Yorha patted his shoulder.
“Come on, it’s fine. Let’s explore the town. Besides, there might be a tavern Kid would like?”
“. . . . . .Let’s go.”
“Hey, wait!”
“Hey, we’re coming too. And Nisrok!”
“Hmm. . . . . .wait for me.”
“Albero, we’re coming too!”
“O, Okay.”
“Hey, wait for me!”
ㅤ
Leaving Yorha behind, everyone started walking towards the town.
ㅤ
“Phew. . . . . .I need to relax a bit.”
ㅤ
This might be their last break.
Yorha, without saying anything, gazed at the mansion on the small hill.
