I had a dream.

I cant remember what it was, but while I was dreaming, I felt a part of me missing and my heart ached.

Maybe it wasnt a good dream.

Little by little, I heard.

The sound of horseshoes hitting the ground.

And my body shaking slightly with the beat.

Is this why I woke up?

Then who is supporting my body thats leaning forward?

I could feel the hard metal touch on my cheeks, feels like someone who is wearing an armor.

I opened my eyes slowly.

To see silky red hair and a pure white nape.

When I raised my brows, I could see a familiar beauty with a cold impression.

Frillite?

Huh?!

Perhaps she was surprised when I called out her name suddenly, Frillite pulled the horses bridle in shock.

Her horse, with its head pulled, raised its upper body and neighed. I tightened my legs around its torso and held onto Frillites waist tightly to keep myself from falling off the horses back.

No, it looks like I had been holding her waist tightly since I was asleep in the first place.

When I woke up, my arms were already wrapped around her waist.

The horse that was neighing calmed down and lowered its forelegs. At that moment, Frillite let out a sigh of relief. She narrowed her brow and looked at me.

Why did you suddenly startle me? What if we both had fallen down?

You call that startling you? I just opened my eyes and saw you, so I called your name. How do I know you would get so shocked?

Imagine that, someone you thought was sleeping suddenly whispers in your ears. How can you not be surprised? And when you wake up, show that you are alive. If you had, I wouldnt have been startled.

I dont even know whats going on, and how to show that Im awake? All right, all right. Lets just pretend its my fault.

Sigh you still sulk at this age, huh?

Come on, when did I? Rather, explain whats the situation right now. Where are we going, and why am I sitting behind you?

Frilite-sama! We are in a hurry!

And whats with that guy rushing you?

Ill tell you the details as we move.

Frillite pulled the reins and made the horse, which was standing, pick up the speed again.

She opened her mouth when the horse began to gallop faster.

An Ogre appeared, she said.

Ogre? Why all of a sudden?

Ogres are level 60 mid-lvl boss monsters.

As it is a mid-lvl boss, the specs are so high that it cannot be compared with normal monsters of the same level.

In addition, the Ogres have a troublesome characteristic of 50% immunity to physical damage, so it is difficult to bash it unless you are a wizard.

In short ogres are hard bones to chew.

I dont know why it appeared. However, according to that cavalryman, the forest where the Ogre appeared has an environment were Ogres cannot live in the first place. So Im guessing that someone with ill will intentionally released that Ogre into the forest.

Ho If that guess is correct, someones pretty crazy. So, what does that have to do with me accompanying you? You dont want a weak person like me to fight against an Ogre, do you?

You really dont remember anything?

Remember what?

You really dont seem to remember

She took a deep breath and shook her head.

When I heard that an Ogre had appeared, I was planning to leave you at the tavern. Because its a risk that you cant handle. But I couldnt. Do you know why?

Why?

Because by the end of the cavalrymans report, you staggered to your feet and insisted on going with us.

Did I?

Yeah, you did. No matter how hard I tried, you didnt listen. Time was running out, so I had no other choice but to bring you along with me.

Um really?

I made a choice after listening to the situation while I was drunk.

Its very much possible.

If I met an assassin in a drunk state and cant fight, wouldnt that be a game over for me?

I cant remember, but maybe I heard the word Ogre at that time and thought of the glyph.

The reason I insisted on following her must have been to absorb the Ogres karma and to acquire the Ogres glyph.

Well, it was a reasonable choice.

But.

In the end, its my fault, isnt it?

I glanced at Frilites eyes.

As expected, it was those eyes, the eyes that wanted to nag.

If she starts nagging right now, I think it will last until we arrive

Thats terrible and just as horrible.

I quickly realized that the course of the subject needs to be changed.

What would it be

What kind of conversation can I start to make Frillite forget her nagging session?

I turned my head taut.

Then, fortunately, I was able to open my mouth before she started nagging me again.

But, are you okay with it?

The latest_epi_sodes are on_the . website.

With what?

The thing that Im stuck with you like this. Even though its just riding a horse, we are too close, right? Wouldnt your fianc feel offended if he finds out, um?

I found a joke that would make Frillite feel difficult.

If she panics and spits out some strange words, I can grab her initiative and take control of the conversation.

Frillite, who missed her nag timing, will eventually give up on nagging.

Fianc? I have no such thing.

But overshadowing the operation, she remained unperturbed.

No, more than that, what did she say?

You dont have a fianc? Why not? Arent you the daughter of a well-off noble family?

Its a well-off noble family Well, you are not wrong but like I said before, I dont have a fianc. I have heard that there were many nobles who wanted to arrange an engagement with our family, but I have heard that my father refused to them all. And I have no complaints with that decision. Rather, I am quite satisfied.

Satisfied Doesnt that mean you dont want to get married?

Right now its so. Its because time is just so tight on my side with just training myself and saving the people. I have no time for meaningless things like engagement or marriage.

Then what about after defeating the Demon King? Will you change your mind then?

It must be so, when the Demon King falls and the appearance of monsters decreases and the continent enters a period of stability. As the heir, I have the obligation to inherit the family.

Frillite answered with a bitter smile. An awkward silence ensued.

Man.

Why is the atmosphere suddenly dull?

Why arent we talking again?

if we go on like this, were going to spend hours in this awkward atmosphere.

It didnt seem like much, so I decided to spit out a little brazen joke.

Before that, I laid some iron plates on my face

When I was ready, I opened my mouth.
