85 – Journey (2)
He lifted up the spirit Etheria was carrying.
I don’t know what the puppy was holding me, but she was smiling broadly.
“That’s true… Lifting a spirit that even contracted.”
“And I didn’t even get permission from the owner…”
I kept staring at me holding a puppy saying it was strange.
It was time to feel ashamed, so I returned the spirit to Etheria and cleared my throat.
“Hey, shouldn’t we be leaving soon?”
Looks like he forgot about the dog.
Isn’t this why things don’t work without me?
“I will prepare for departure now.”
“Come on, Etyria too.”
“Yeah, okay.”
Etheria nodded at Dave’s words.
Then she put her puppy on top of her own head and ran off.
It doesn’t matter if the spirit is placed anywhere because it will never fall off if it is attached to the owner’s clothes.
In addition, I hardly feel the weight, so it’s not cumbersome.
“Seobang-nim shouldn’t be standing here too, should you pack up your things?”
“Ah, a fishing rod.”
Seeing Stella smile bitterly, I also smiled bitterly.
I didn’t mean to say that I was fishing until the time was up.
I heard Stella and ran to the river to retrieve her two fishing rods.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t catch a fish, but I’ll ask the knights to catch it later, so I can grill it and eat it.

“Seobang, wake up.”
“Ugh… When did I go to sleep…”
He yawned and stretched.
I looked outside to see if I had arrived at the campsite, and the carriage in front of me was still running hard.
The wagon we are riding is also running hard.
Seeing Stella and tilting her head, she smiled slightly and stroked my hair.
“I’ll be in town soon.”
“Aha… Write it…”
When I put my hand to her face, the dripping saliva hardened and hardened.
It looks like it will be difficult to wipe it off by hand, then you’ll have to take it down and clean it later…
“uuu…”
“Please hold still for a moment.”
“Ugh…”
Stella wet her handkerchief with a little water magic and began to slowly wipe around my leaf.
Her hand movements were very kind and gentle.
As if cleaning a precious water bottle.
“It’s done~”
“Thank you.”
Now that she’s freed up, she’s touched the area around her chin and mouth.
As expected, the place where Stella’s meticulous touch had gone was clean with not a single trace of saliva left.
“What is it? When you wake up in the morning, you always wipe the area around Seo-bang’s mouth first?”
“Yes? What else do you mean by that?”
“hehehe, when you wake up in the morning, the area around your mouth is white from saliva.”
Stella’s older sister secretly began to reveal a secret close to disclosure.
Did I have such a bad sleeping habit?
Every time you wake up later than Stella, and she was wiping hardened saliva every morning?
I’m not even an old man…
I heard that every morning…
“Oh, Mr. West! I see a village over there!”
“hahahaha…That’s right…”
Without looking at what was out there, Stella nodded at her words.
My wife says so many times that she quietly shocks me.
“By the way, what kind of town is that?”
“It’s a port town where a lot of fish are caught. It feels a bit different from Lagoon City.”
“Then grilled fish for dinner tonight.”
“hehehe, if you add a squeeze of lemon to it, it won’t smell fishy and you’ll be able to enjoy it.”

Putting aside the things that shocked me, my saliva rises again as I think of the menu for dinner tonight.
Maybe it’s because I don’t have any hobbies other than eating?

“Hmm…Strangely, the inspection ended quickly.”
“Lagoon City took it seriously enough. Everything else is similar.”
“Are there any spies?”
“Spies are rare.”
I asked Stella about this and that, and before I knew it, the checkpoint was over and I entered the village.
There was no need to get off the wagon here, a few soldiers looked around the wagon and let it pass.
“In addition, the knights came to the regiment level, and it would be difficult to stop them.”
“Come to think of it, is there a place for our knights to rest?”
As many as 2,000 people entered the village.
Will there ever be a place to sleep?
I heard that there are not that many inns even in large towns…
“With the exception of a few people, we decided to camp outside the village.”
“I’m sorry… I’m so sorry.”
I wish I had a good rest after entering the village.
I have to go out and rest because I don’t have enough seats…
No, if you think about it, camping might not be difficult.
There is a simple toilet and a simple bath.
Thinking about it now, I’ve rarely been uncomfortable camping.
On the contrary, it would have been fun if it was fun.
“Right? That’s why many Knights like to camp.”
“No way, people living in tents in front of their houses…”
“They are morbidly fond of…”
It may sound a bit rude, but it’s not wrong.
On the contrary, they are people who enjoy camping.
“Then I’ll go outside…”
“No way. You should sleep with me.”
“Kuhmm…You don’t have to say such embarrassing words…”
“These days, Seo-Bang-nim went to bed right away after doing it once, so it’s a bit lacking…”
“Aww! That’s not what a woman would say!”
It’s actually okay to talk about the night’s work when we’re with each other, but isn’t it manly to talk about in broad daylight?
Should I be a bit conservative in this way?
It seems a little out of touch with the people of this world.
From noble mtl dot com.
People here are so open…

We continued to travel by carriage.
If you think that a village is small, you are mistaken, but the unit of a village here is close to the poetry of the Republic of Korea.
Then why did you worry about the lack of accommodation earlier?
Of course, it can only accommodate about 2,000 tourists.
However, that is the problem.
It’s not just us who come to this town, there are various tourists.
In addition, since it is a port city, there must be a lot of ships anchored there, and it is said that this is also a place to transfer.
There are more people passing through this town than I thought.
Then, of course, the number of rooms has to be reduced.
“Wow…That’s huge…”
Stella, me and Stella, the maids and priests, and the knights who will escort us have already had a place to stay.
From what Stella sneakily told me, it’s the most expensive place in town.
“This place looks very expensive.”
“From what I’ve heard, it’s cheaper than I thought.”
It is said that the price is different here because it is a province.
Compared to the town of Sabang, which can be called the capital, it is about 1/5 of the level.
When I first heard it, I wondered why it was so different from fat.
I can understand the reason why it is so expensive to move goods to Sabang Village via mountains, forests, and the sea or lakes.
“Cutcha…Now, the hand.”
“Thank you.”
I got off first and escorted Stella.
Stella grabbed my outstretched hand and slowly jumped down.
By the way, maybe I didn’t get the balance right?
I was staggering as if I was going to fall, then came back into my arms.
I know very well that most of Stella’s mistakes are because she wants to pretend and hug me.
So I smiled and stroked her hair.
“hehehe, stroke more please.”
“Can we go to the room later? There are people coming up behind us.”
At this rate, rumors about Stella and me might end up being nothing but chatter.
I pushed Stella lightly and kept some distance.
“Chit… Seobang is my husband.”
“Are you mad?”
“I’m not pouting! Melong!”
Stella runs into the entrance of the dorm wearing a tong like a child.
Stella, who was running briskly, tripped on a rock root and fell.
My priests and her attendants couldn’t help but hit their foreheads as they watched.

“His Holiness, by the way, isn’t Eld Village famous for its fish?”
“Heh heh, the flounder and limyeonsu caught there are really delicious.”
“hahahaha, if I had known that, I would have asked you to buy some dried fish.”
The saintess and her husband left for the neutral zone, and the cardinals and the pope were making noise.
Due to the rigid nature of the Cardinals’ meeting, it seems that they won’t meet often outside of work.
Unexpectedly, our friendship is strong, so we have a private meeting once a week.
The first agenda they will meet today is about dinner.
“Now that you’re talking about fish, how about grilled Imyeonsoo for dinner?”
“I’m Chansung. Grilled Lim Yeon-soo and a glass of rice wine would be great…”
The young cardinal nodded in agreement, and the old cardinal sitting next to him nodded as well.
The two usually lead the meeting with high voices, but in fact these two are very close drinking buddies.
“If other people don’t have a different opinion, let’s end it with Im Yeon-su’s grill.”
“Okay. Then what time are you coming out today?”
“It’s all good, so please come out on time. If you’re late like last time, the latecomer will count from now on.”
Everyone laughed out loud when they heard that.
With that, the 898th Dinner Setting Conference came to an end.
