“But you can’t go alone. Take the knights as a guide and escort.”

Astelle turned to Kaizen after expressing her gratitude.

She stared at Vellian who had a tense face.

“If it’s okay, I’d like to ask Sir Vellian for guidance.”

Kaizen looked at Vellian with a puzzled look.

“Why?”

“I have something I want to talk to him about.”

“What do you have to say to him?”

“It’s a personal matter. Sir Vellian, are you okay?”

“Oh yeah. Yes.”

Astelle smiled casually.

“Then, please prepare quickly.”

Astelle checked the tools in her basket.

Inside the basket were tiny pruning shears for cutting small seedlings of hemp and branches.

Vellian was following her with an anxious look.

“……May I ask why you wanted to be guided by me?”

“You’ve got the pharmacist disguised as a maid and looked at my luggage and medicine box. She even sent me to a public bath and checked my clothes.”

“That……”

“Once you have satisfied your curiosity, isn’t it your turn to help me?”

Vellian was overwhelmed and bit his lip.

He tried to make an excuse that he wasn’t, but he seemed to give up.
