“Oh, it's okay.
Don't worry about it.
I understand that you want to assess the skills of the person you are entrusting your life to.
However, in the future, it might be a good idea to clearly state this in the request.
For example, how high of a rank should they be? Or maybe you'd like to check their strength.”

 

Kyle nodded his head in agreement after hearing Ataru's point, but next to him, Gaiszer had a rather grim look on his face.

 

“As you probably know ……, my request has less reward than other escort requests.
Besides, if you put such a condition on it……”

 

Gaiszer said that he was in no position to say such a thing, and his shoulders slumped sadly.

 

“Sure, well, it happens.
……
Well, let's just say it's a good thing we're taking care of it this time.”

 

As they talked about this, they reached the city.

 

“So, do you have a carriage?”

 

Ataru asked Gaiszer, thinking that it would be hard on foot, especially considering Kyle when they were walking earlier.

 

“Oh, yes.
It's not a Suruma[1], but it's there.
I've left it at the inn, so let's go back for it.
……
Is it okay if we leave right away?”

 

“Yeah, we're good.
Are you guys ready to go then?”

 

Ataru and Caro* usually carry all of their luggage in a bag[2], but even if they don't have a lot of money to spare, it's still a lot of luggage when you're a nobleman, and they thought it would be hard to prepare accordingly.
(G: changed to Caro)

 

“We've also packed our bags in our room at the inn, so we can leave right away.”

 

Kyle nodded his head as Gaiszer answered with a bitter smile.

 

“Well, in that case, we'd better get going.”

 

When they returned to the inn, Gaiszer and the others had already picked up their luggage and paid the bill.
Ataru and Caro were waiting for them near the entrance.

 

“Thank you for waiting.
The carriage is in the back.
I'll bring it over.”

 

While Gaiszer hurried to the back of the inn to get the carriage, Kyle's eyes were fixed on Ataru's gun.

 

As far as Ataru's fighting style is concerned, this is a weapon that he might be able to fight with even if he is not physically strong enough.
And he is actually achieving results.
It was something that Kyle longed for.

 

“What is it? Is there something bothering you about this?”

 

“Yes!”

 

Ataru noticed his gaze and asked to which Kyle responded quickly and vigorously.

 

“You can't use it ……, but do you want to hold it?”

 

The suggestion from Ataru, who thought Kyle was adorable, was exactly what he wanted, and he nodded several times without saying a word, perhaps because he was so excited.

 

“Here, it's heavier than it looks.”

 

He lightly slung the gun over his shoulder and slowly handed it to Kyle.

 

“Yes! Heavy!!”

 

He didn't expect to be able to touch it, so he gently received Ataru's gun with both hands, suppressing his excitement.
However, with the unexpected weight of the gun in his hands, the weak Kyle tried desperately to keep his balance.
He managed not to drop the gun, but Kyle was amazed at how lightly Ataru could handle such a heavy object.

 

“It's got to be heavier than your average shortsword.
I can handle the weight without any problem because of my physical ability, but it will be hard for Kyle.”

 

Ataru, with a mischievous smile on his face, said this and retrieved the gun from Kyle, carrying it as usual.

 

“Ugh, I thought I could fight with a weapon like that with no power…….”

 

With his hopes for the gun fleetingly dashed, Kyle looked down wistfully[3] and nodded.

 

“I know you're not very good at sports, Kyle.
And if you still want to fight, here's some advice I can give you.
You can use a dagger, a shortsword, a spear, ……
well, you can't use anything like my guy because there's nothing else like him.
……
Whatever it is, decide on one and keep using it.
And run as much as you can to build up your strength.”

 

It's not a consolation, but a serious statement, and Kyle listened with a serious expression.
Whether it's because he's the son of a nobleman or because he's a child, no one has ever given him serious advice like this without looking down* on him.
(G: couldn’t find better wording sorry)

 

Having found his goal, Kyle is going to train daily from now on in order to gain the strength to fight.

 

 

 

(Garden’s corner: Well, I’m back from my break now~ Tried something new with some of the notes because of reader feedback hope it’s better! I will also say this in response to one reader’s comment: You don’t have to read my notes for the full experience y’know~ Anyway hope you enjoyed this chapter!)

 

Notes~~

[1] Don’t really know what Suruma means, google doesn’t give me any info.

[2] Probably referring to their magic bag or Item bag whatever floats your boat.

[3] I’m learning new words just from translating this huh….
That’s nice.
Also it means “with a feeling of vague or regretful longing.“
