第１５３５堀：いざ出発 (Part2)

"Preparation is complete. Everyone, please proceed through the gate to Ritea."

"We've finished our checks on the other side. Kiyu is waiting there, so let's hurry."

The subordinate goblins were in military attire, which was familiar, but Covil's adventurer style was a fresh sight.

"What is it?"

"No, did you have those adventurer clothes made?"

"Ah, well, normally they wouldn't be necessary. But if I have no equipment as an adventurer, it's not good, or rather, people will worry and look down on me, so I made them with Naruja and Firia."

He said, spinning around on the spot.

It seemed to be based on leather armor with various arrangements.

"Hmm, I won't ask about the performance."

"Anyway, that's not important. Come on, move. As I said, Kiyu is waiting. You too, Riel and Deryu."

"Yes, yes."

"Indeed. Well then, Yuki, let's go. Ryushi will take the lead!"

"Yes!"

For some reason, Riel and Deryu grabbed my arms from either side and dragged me through the gate like an alien.

Ryushi was probably taking the lead to ensure our safety, but it gave me a strong impression of being forcibly taken away.

By the way, Ryushi has improved considerably thanks to Senal's constant healing and the combat training with his wives at the forefront.

In a short time, he's become a good match for Orelia, Hobis, and Yayui, so his determination is remarkable.

This shows how eager he is to confront the Dark Guild, but I worry if he'll lose control.

And as I was thinking about such things, we passed through the gate and arrived at the familiar Ritea.

"Welcome, brother. This is your first time coming to Ritea in this body, isn't it?"

"Ah, now that you mention it, it is. I went as Kiyu before."

Kiyu's greeting made me realize that fact.

I had indeed come to Ritea with Rurua and the others, but at that time, I was Kiyu.

"Now that you mention it, that's right~. That was when we first met, wasn't it?"

"No, if you tell it that way, it means we met before me."

"You don't have to say that."

"Haha, I was conscious of it too, so it's not wrong. Anyway, that's not important, but Alstaire-sama is waiting."

As I was prompted, Alstaire was waiting for us.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you."

"No, we apologize for the inconvenience regarding this matter, or rather, since the incident in Swulus. We cannot openly move from Ritea."

"Please don't worry about it, though I know you will. It's for the sake of the alliance, and Ritea is an important country for both Rurua and Lilishe."

As I said that, Rurua smiled.

"Yes. Alstaire-sama. I know well how hard Ritea has been working. In fact, the matter of Vinocia was an issue during my reign, and I must properly clean it up."

"That's right. Ritea's problems are my problems~. Alstaire-chan is working hard~."

Saying that, Lilishe unceremoniously patted Alstaire's head.

Normally, one might say it's disrespectful to the top figure of Ritea, the Saintess, but no one said anything. Instead, Ritea's guards and high officials watched the scene with envy.

Well, this pink goddess is Lilishe herself, who is revered by the Ritea religion.

"Ah, thank you. However, I still have a long way to go. To trouble you like this..."

"It's fine~. People help each other~. So, leave this to me again~. If there are enemies, I'll deal with them decisively~."

"Yes. I look forward to your help."

"Everyone, please support Alstaire-chan too~. This is just a little blessing from me~."

As she said that, a green light of healing magic enveloped the surroundings.

"Well, it's magic that removes fatigue, so 'healing' is the correct term, but you looked tired, so~. Don't push yourself~."

" " "Yes." " "

Everyone who welcomed us in Ritea was moved to tears.

Hmm, being directly addressed and healed by a goddess is certainly moving.

From our side, however, it was a bit much.

Because even kind old men, middle-aged men, and strong soldiers were crying.

If it were just the sisters, it might have been understandable, but...

I thought we could move immediately, but Hiren was nowhere to be seen.

"Hey? Aren't we going? Don't we have time?"

She was already on the bus and calling out to us from the window.

Ah, wonderful.

Your sense of timing is truly amazing.

And so, we began our journey towards the enemy territory.

However, the travel was comfortable.
