I left the mansion in the early morning in a charcoal truck for a meeting with Renalute.
But I was suffering alone, having once again met an unexpected and difficult enemy.
Diana, who couldn't bear to look at me, rubbed my back and spoke kindly to me.
'Are you all right? Master Rid."
'Haha ...... Thank you, Diana. Ugh, ugh .......'
I thanked her while trying my best to hold back my sick feeling, but a wave soon came and I turned over, looking pale.
In response to my condition, Father muttered worriedly as he drove.
'Rid, why do you get sick when the roads are so clean? There will be almost no vibration .......'
'Upp...... really, why would I get sick......?'
I turned blue and nodded my head in agreement with Father's words.
Yes, father was right, the roads are well maintained and the charcoal wagons don't vibrate particularly hard.
But anyway, I feel uncomfortable.
I might be prone to motion sickness by nature.
If it had been just a short test ride, I would have felt fine. ......
However, the trouble was that with the improvement of the roads and the development of charcoal vehicles, I had assumed that I would not get motion sickness.
That's why I didn't have the candy canes that Chris had given me earlier.
I was going to meet up with Chris on the way, so I could only hope that she had some with her.
At that moment, Alex, who was sitting in the passenger seat, muttered with a smile.
'But I didn't expect Master Rid to be so 'motion sick'. It's kind of like an 'unexpected weakness'.'
'Haha ...... my 'unexpected weakness'? Indeed, motion sickness may be my weakness. ......"
At the same time, the head 'gulps'.
I feel like I'm approaching the limit of my creepiness.
I was forced to use the last resort and muttered to everyone in the car.
'I'm going to ...... sleep a little.'
It's a little embarrassing that everyone here can see my sleeping face, but I can't turn my back on them.
Perhaps because I had been up so early in the morning, I surprisingly fell asleep as soon as I meditated.
◇
How long had it been since I fell asleep?
I suddenly awoke from sleep, and when I opened my eyes, my eyes met a pair of beautiful green eyes.
I stare into those eyes for a while in a daze.
Soon, the beautiful face with green eyes changed to a slightly puzzled expression.
At that moment, I realised that it was Chris who was in front of me, but my head was still in a daze and I naturally missed him.
'Wow ......, what's that, Chris? With that kind of face ......."
「えっ⁉ あ、いや、すみません。途中の補給所で合流した時、リッド様が目を覚ましたら飴玉を渡して欲しい。と頼まれて……失礼ながら横に座っていました」
Chris looked a little bummed at my question.
At that moment, my father, who is driving, speaks up to complement him.
'Because when we got to the supply station, you were still passed out. I heard that Chris had a 'candy bar' to help you with your sickness, so that's why I had you ride in the charcoal truck over here.'
'Ah, so that's how it is. Chris, I'm sorry you had to do that.'
After answering my father, I bailed out to Chris who was sitting next to me.
Chris shook his head a little at my words and actions.
'No, no, don't worry about it. I know all too well the pain of drunkenness.'
'Thank you. I'm glad to know that."
I reply to Chris's words with a smile.
Then, Chris smiled with an embarrassed look.
After that, Chris gave me a 'candy ball' that has an anti-drunkenness effect, and my drunkenness became a lot easier.
The candy ball is the same one she gave me when we went to Lenalute before.
First bite is very sour, but afterwards it has a sweet taste.
It seems to be a bit different for everyone, but I quite like the taste.
In addition, my father is the driver of the charcoal truck I'm in, and Alex is in the passenger seat.
Deanna and Chris are sitting on either side of me.
When we left, Diana and Capella were sitting next to me.
Capella gave up his seat to Chris, who joined us for refuelling, and moved to the charcoal car where Ellen was riding.
Incidentally, father seems to like driving the charcoal truck so much that he drives it all the time.
Occasionally, he asks Alex questions about how the charcoal truck works.
Alex was nervous about talking to my father at first, but now he seems to enjoy talking to him in a light atmosphere, even though he uses honorifics.
I put the candy ball Chris gave me in my mouth, meditate again, and go to sleep again before I get sick.
◇
'Master Rid, wake up. We have arrived at our destination.'
I heard a dignified, gentle voice and at the same time felt my body being carefully shaken.
It was probably to wake me up from sleep.
I slowly opened my eyes and stretched out my body with a sore throat.
'...... wow, mmm ...... ‼ hmm ...... ah, thank you for waking me up, Diana.'
'It's been outrageous, . More importantly, the charcoal truck is wonderful. It seems to have arrived much earlier than the scheduled time for the meeting. Master Rid, why don't you get some fresh air before the meeting?'
She smiled and gave a small shake of her head, briefly explaining the current situation.
In the meantime, I've tried to see how long it will take once the road is ready and the fuel station is built.
From there, I should have worked it backwards and decided on a departure time.
I muttered, "Father ...... you skipped quite a bit ......" as I thought about that with my fuzzy head, and I got out of the charcoal truck.
As soon as I get out, I stretch out again and look around, I see 'Dark Elven soldiers' who are looking at the charcoal truck with surprise and interest.
By the way, the meeting place this time is inside the Renalute border post on the border between Renalute and Bardia territory.
The gateway is like a simple fortress, and there is no particular obstacle to holding the meeting as the proper residence is also within the grounds of the fortress.
The Second Order of Bardia had built a road up to the very front of this barrier.
At that time, from the Renalute barrier, the work done by the Second Order could be seen, and I think it was reported that the Dark Elves had expressions of astonishment on their faces.
After looking around to some extent, I suddenly looked up at the sky and smiled while waving my hand lightly.
In fact, the 1st Flying Group led by Aria of the Bird Tribe was also waiting in the sky.
The presence of the children of the Beast Tribe, including them, is also a hand card for advancing this meeting to an advantage.
At the same time as my eyes were waking up, my consciousness was becoming clearer and clearer, I muttered in my mind.
(Well, I've done all I can do, including the charcoal truck, magic, pocket watch and so on. All I have to do now is to face the 'Father' without letting up until the very last minute, so that I don't 'finish the job' as I remember from my previous life.)
I smiled secretly and fearlessly to myself as I thought about the meeting we were about to have.
