Tensei Saki ga Shoujo Manga no Shiro Buta Reijou datta Chapter 122

TN: Rolling down the slope.

Ryuze who received my verbal message directed the horse carriages to travel on the mountain path at a considerably higher speed.

When we arrived at the crossroad, it was then when the rain began to fall.

[Okay, turn right here… n?]

I saw an unknown horse carriage heading to the left.

The left path was a steep road overlooking the cliffs, if it rained like this, the sight would be bad and it would be dangerous.

Merrill also noticed it; she pushed herself out of the window and called out to the unknown carriage.

[The carriage there, stop! That way is dangerous!]

However, the carriage continued onwards. It may had not heard her.

[Wait, stop!]

Then the next moment… Merrill did something ridiculous.

With her legs hanging out of the window, she jumped out of the carriage. Lifting the skirt of her dress, she then rushed towards the carriage with a speed unthinkable of a princess.

[Prin, Princess Merrill~!?]

Other than me, the escort knights and attendants also screamed.

(I'm careless…! I should have thought about this possibility…!)  {TN: No, you shouldn't. It's not your fault, Britney.}

While ordinary princesses wouldn't do this, Merrill was a heroine of a manga full of justice and action power, not to mention that she was a commoner until recently!

In each story, she often surprised her surroundings with her frequent reckless actions.

[Please follow Princess Merrill! We have to inform Prince Marlow!]

I asked a nearby knight, I then sent a messenger to Marlow's carriage and waited for that woman to return.

There's no option to leave the princess behind in this place.

Merrill ran to the left path and seemed to have caught up with the carriage at last. She then appealed loudly to the coachman.

But the coachman didn't hear her, he drove away from Merrill.

He didn't think that the other party was a princess. The royal family's face profile could only be easily seen in television in my past life.

The knight caught up with Merrill, but she stubbornly didn't move from her spot.

Since the opponent was a princess, it seemed that the knight couldn't bring Merrill back with force.

(I have no choice…)

If we lingered further, the rain would intensify and the risk increased.

I hurried to help with dragging Merrill back.

The passengers of the unknown carriage were a small boy and two mothers who took him. The coachman was a middle-aged man who looked stubborn.

(For now, let's bring them back to our carriage. Four people are on board and my fellow passenger is Merrill. They shouldn't complain even if they're together.)

I caught up with Merrill and told her to return to our carriage.

[The rain is getting heavier and it's dangerous to be beside the cliff.]

[But… Britney!]

[Let's bring them to our carriage and proceed along the detour, it should be fine.]

[That, that's true. Let's do that!]

The woman's mind seemed to be trembling. But the coachman showed his disapproval.

[I want to get to the destination and finish this job quickly! The weather is going to get worse soon, so it's troublesome!]

The coachman seemed to have a rough temperament.

He was red-faced and spat to the road… he was someone that couldn't be called elegant even as a compliment.

This guy seemed to be that kind of man.

(Moreover, he wants to finish his job…)

I decided to protect the women.

We didn't have the time to preach the man here. Large raindrops were coming down one after another and we could hear a distant thunder.

[Then, I will pay their fare. Then won't your work end?]

[Oh… then, how about this?]

As expected, the coachman overcharged the fare, but it wasn't that much.

As I was in a hurry, I asked Maria who came to me due to being worried to pay him.

[Well, let's return to our carriage!]

I tried to leave the place quickly after I said so, but there was a person who kept standing there. It's Merrill!

[No good. That coachman, he's going forward to that cliff. I have to stop him!]

[I, I understand. You go back to the carriage first…]

At that time, part of the loose ground of the cliff collapsed due to rain, and the road behind the wheels of the carriage was thrown to air.

Unfortunately, Merrill was in the vicinity.

Being caught up in the carriage sliding down the slope of the cliff, I grasped Merrill's hand when she fell down the slope.

But…

[Aa!?]

The worst thing was that my scaffolding collapsed and I was about to be thrown down the muddy slope.

I threw away Merrill, who I managed to grab, out of the way. She landed on the flatland and did not fall.

However, I wasn't saved. Inclining forward, I could see the trees growing nearer.

I couldn't ask for help, and I feel down the slope.

TN: Another reason to hate Merrill. I wouldn't have blamed Britney if she decided to stay in the carriage. Heck, no one would. It's not her fault that Merrill's a reckless idiot. Seems like the author is just using Britney to clean up after Merrill's mess. Hope someone would slap some sense into that empty head of hers.
