From then on, it was a journey together with the bandits on horse. We would take short breaks occasionally and when night came, we would also set up camp. Nevertheless, these days had been exhausting.

These bandits live up to their name of mountain bandits at least!

As suggested from its name, it was an ointment personally made by Onee-san. I was explained that the ointment helps with waist pain and other kinds of pains like the pain that follows after falling on your backside (without any cuts and wounds). I was told that I would be taught how to make it a few days later and I was somewhat looking forward to it,

Kou-san had gave me a very in-depth lesson about medicine and treatment methods in this world along the way here (though she is likely going to use my help).

It is because Kou-san was the only medic among the band of bandits.

Shouldn’t healing and treating people be like how it works in games? Just using recovery magic to heal in one go? It could be that there is no recovery magic in this world. The injured and the sick can only rely on the medicines produced by the medic. This means the magic of this world is less convenient than what I had imagined it to be.

Speaking of which, when I had gone to the Rainforest town’s market, I was slightly surprised that the pharmacies were well stocked. The reason for that could be that there is no such thing as recovery magic.

Today we are camping by the side of a big tree. It was a good elevated open space.

We were totally surrounded by trees but if we walked further up ahead, there would be a river. Still, I was told to never go towards the river. as there were demonic beasts (TN: In the past, I used “magical beasts” but after consideration, I think demonic beasts would be a better choice) in the area towards the river.

The reason the bandits actually set up camp here was that because this place was a relative far distance from the river and they were afraid of the demonic beasts too.

Onee bandit Kou-san would show me the mountain vegetables and taught me the method to pick them, the way to eat them and also the effects they can have.

Alek and gang went to hunt while Kou-san and I picked the mountain vegetation, washed clothes and did all sorts of miscellaneous work.

Both the monkeyface Kuwamaru and the smart Rudel could somewhat do arithmetics and they were extremely familiar with the geography in this area, all the way down to details.

Onee bandit was really delighted and a brought her clenched right fist near her mouth while giggling.

“We might be bandits now but back in the past, we were all young masters and young daughters of aristocrats. You can’t believe that right?”

“Then, you all must have gone through the education of the royal school right?”

Kuwamaru was initially in the knight’s course but the training was too demanding for him so he dropped out and transferred to the business course. Kou-san was not an Onee at that point of time and was just an ordinary boy but still gained considerable attention from the girls. Yet she had already fallen for Alek boss and had always been like that since.

“Various things happened and unfortunately, we became bandits. But that’s alright. I have decided that I would live for love. I will continue to follow Alek around.” 

But from how I see it, Alek doesn’t seem to incline that way…… A touching, unrequited love.

Even in this case, the boss is popular. Is his face really the standard of an ikemen in this world?

Speaking of which, I am interested in the ‘various things’ (not Kou-san’s love story) that she mentioned.

“What is Bashu-san working as now?”

“Ahh, Bashu is the master of the Ruby Fallen domain. The Earl of Ruby Fallen, yes.”

‘Master’ and ’Earl’ would mean that he is also an aristocrat? Am I to be his maid?

“Hm? I don’t think he is a pervert. He has married a mage and they have kids too.”

Won’t my new employment have even better prospects? But I still can’t let my guard down. There is the possibility that the kids were another unmanageable shitty brat.

While I do not know living conditions of the shitty brat, I am still relieved to know where I might end up before getting sold.

“Speaking of which, Kou-okaasan mentioned about various things happening that caused you all to become bandits. What exactly happened?”

Up till now, she generally had a smile on but her expression hardened when I asked that. It looks like it was a question that shouldn’t be asked.

Sorry, I didn’t know my place.

“The reason why we became bandits isn’t something that can come out from my mouth. ……I do not want to push our thoughts out. Anyways, how did we end up near to the side of the river. We have to get back now.”

Kou-san was no longer in a mood to talk about it and move towards the direction of our tents.
I hastily followed behind but I have become very interested to the topic that she averted her eyes from.
