() On the outskirts of the royal capital, there is a car parked on a desolate mountain road. It is an old military classic car. It is a type of car that was sold cheaply to citizens after the war. It is a type of car that can be seen everywhere. The dark silver body has no car. On the top, the two-seater seat was exposed, with crumpled blankets and already-read library books randomly placed on the leather seats.

The handsome boy who was supposed to be the driver, with an appearance that even girls would envy, was squatting next to the car, checking the bearings of the rear wheels. From his appearance, he looked like the kind of aristocratic boy who never touched his fingers. , but the movement of using the tool is extremely dexterous, as if he has been accustomed to this kind of thing.

"It's so boring." The person who spoke to the beautiful boy who was busy checking the car was a girl sitting on the car's cargo rack. She looked to be at least twelve or thirteen years old. She had fair to almost transparent skin and was wearing dark clothes. A thin girl in a dress.

Her waist-length hair is as black as ink, and even her eyes are as dark as night. Her black clothes are loosely bulging, decorated with multiple layers of lace and ruffles, and there are metal hand and wrist straps on the outline. The rough waist armor, instead of the ribbon knotted on her chest, was an old metal box, which was a giant lock bound by a silver chain.

"I'm starving, Kirito! How long are you going to keep me waiting here?! Even if you get lost, you end up damaging the car in a place like this. Are you a loser?!"

The merciless poisonous tongue of the girl who looked like the goddess of the night made the beautiful young man who was repairing the car couldn't help but reveal a wry smile. The wry smile couldn't hide the sarcasm. "I think the reason why you got lost is entirely because you got the map wrong. Watched it."

"Well..." The girl mumbled and then fell silent. She bit her lip hard in an awkward situation, turned away with her face flushed. It seemed that her wrongdoing was directly exposed, and the girl was also very embarrassed, but she had a proud personality. It is obviously impossible to apologize.

"Really." The beautiful boy whom the girl called Kirito scratched his head irritably, not caring that his hands were still stained with dirt from the wheel bearings. At the same time, he complained like a grievance: "That old guy Wes, he actually... The Phantom Book was lent to others, and the location is so remote."

After resting for more than a month again, Kirito's body has recovered a lot. Although his overall strength cannot be used even 30%, it is enough to carry out some ordinary actions. It was also early in the morning that Darian once again He woke up from his warm bed, and the reason turned out to be that the deadline for borrowing a book from one of them had expired, and he had to recycle it.

"Supreme Conditioning Meditation Book", this is the phantom book that needs to be recovered this time. It is said to be a phantom book written by the pagan devil and records forbidden cooking techniques. In essence, it should have been a book that has disappeared in the long river of history.

In the end, Kirito had no choice but to stand up, shrugged, and said: "The situation is really tricky. Even if you want to repair it, there don't seem to be enough parts. It seems that you have to find a place where you can borrow better tools and parts. "

"...It took you so long to start saying this, you are not serious." The dark and beautiful girl sighed in surprise.

Perhaps it was God who caused trouble. The place where the car broke down was on a country road with only a simple road surface. Looking around, all that came into view was the overgrown wilderness, not to mention a blacksmith shop or a horse harness. There is no shop, not even a single house.

"Whose eyes do you have to see that there is a way to find those things nearby? You are the only one in the world who gets lost in a place where birds don't lay eggs during this season."

"Huh..." Kirito seemed to have been used to the beauty's poisonous tongue attribute that was completely inconsistent with his own beauty. He just let out a breath, smiled mysteriously, and said: "It doesn't mean that the car can't move if it breaks down, or Darian.

Do you want to experience the feeling of flying in the sky again?"

"Ah wu... I don't want to die!" Dalian whined, her petite body stiffened, she quickly picked up the blanket and wrapped it tightly around her petite body, only revealing her little face with obvious fear.

The flying feeling in Kirito's mouth left a very bad impression on her.

"Speaking of which, Dalian, it seems that in this place where birds don't lay eggs, we are not the only ones who would take this road." After saying this, Kirito narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance. A carriage followed.

The white dust smoke rising slowly approached. It was a large carriage pulled by two horses.

A high-end carriage equipped with a suspension device that can only be seen in aristocratic mansions. The driver sitting on the reins is a man of about forty-five years old wearing an expensive suit. There is a young woman sitting in the carriage.

"Huh?" Dalian decisively threw away the blanket she was wrapped in, jumped down from the shelf, and hid behind Kirito in a panic. Her timid appearance reminded people of a small animal that has never been close to anyone.

Covering most of his face with the book he held in his arms, he carefully looked up at the approaching carriage.

The woman in the carriage didn't know what she said to the coachman. The coachman tightened the reins skillfully and the carriage stopped. At this time, the woman stuck her head out, showed a soft smile, and said: "Excuse me for being presumptuous...

Have you two encountered any trouble?" The young woman's temperament is not that of a servant, but more like a tutor for the master's children in a noble mansion, or a maid for the mistress.

"Well... it's almost the same. After getting lost, the car broke down..." Kirito rubbed his neck, which was still sore when he got up in the morning, and spoke the words he had organized when he saw the carriage.

"You mean...lost?" It can be seen that the woman has a very good education.

"Well... there are actually many reasons." Hearing Kirito's words, Darian behind her pouted unhappily. "Actually, we are looking for Mr. Gulem Adkison's house.

…I wonder if you know?”

Hearing the position in Kirito's mouth, the woman looked a little surprised. She looked at the groom and immediately straightened her posture. "So, you are a guest at today's dinner?"

"Yes, I came here at the invitation of Mr. Gulem. I am Kiritani Kazuto. Just call me Kirito. This is Darian."

"... Kiritani Kazuto? Could it be that you are Lord Deswad's best friend during his lifetime?"

"There's no need for close friends or anything like that. He and I just know each other." In response to the woman's surprised expression, Kirito shook his head and replied.

Soon after, the woman seemed to come back to her senses and said: "I am a servant of Mr. Gulem's house, my name is Leslie. If Mr. Kirito doesn't mind, let my carriage take you to the house, and you

We will arrange for the car dealer to come and repair the car."

"It would be a great help if you take it so seriously, but..." A young woman named Leslie looked along Kirito's line of sight. The girl in black hiding behind him seemed to be frightened, and her shoulders shook slightly.

He trembled, his attitude seemed to be wary of an adult he had never met before.

Leslie frowned as if troubled, then suddenly thought of something and said: "Miss Darian, if you don't mind, there are simple snacks on the carriage..."

"Dim sum?!" The word "dim sum" seemed to have successfully attracted Dalian's attention. She revealed her small face from behind Kirito and looked up at Leslie.

Gandi asked.

"Let me see, it's actually nothing special. It's just fried bread and..." Leslie counted on her fingers. Before she could finish her words, Darien immediately answered decisively. She pulled Kirito's hand.

Sleeve said: "...I'll go."
