Jin and his group are stranded at the scene of a horse-drawn carriage collision.

I think we should help out here.

Yes, Father.

Yes, Father.

Jin, Reiko, and Elsa get off the wagon and go to the site. Gough, Rubina, Marikka, Hanako and Cocona are left in the carriage.

We should go, too. We might be able to help.

"Yeah. ......"

Goh hesitates.

"I... I... ......"

"Rubina, don't push Goh too hard.

Marikka is trying to get Rubina's attention.

"Oh, ......."

Marikka's words made Rubina think that Goh was remembering his painful past when he saw the accident with the carriage.

But she does not back down. She invites Goh to join her.

"...... You're the Nido family, aren't you!　What are you going to do if you can't move at a time like this!"

"......"

"But it's your decision. What are you going to do?"

It was a rather forceful argument, but Goh's voice seemed to have made him a little more willing to put the past behind him.

Marikka sensed this, so she did not stop Rubina any longer.

"I want to ...... help my ...... mother Cocona and ...... father Daiki."

Goh looked at his adoptive mother Cocona.

Cocona, aware of Goh's feelings and Rubina's, thought for a moment and then came to a conclusion.

"Well, it doesn't look dangerous, and if you want to go to ......, then yes. Come with me."

"Yes!"

"Yes."

Marikka also supports Goh's current feelings and orders Hanako to escort the three of them.

"Hanako, protect them."

"Yes, Marikka-sama."

<.

So Cocona got out of the carriage and, hand in hand with Goh and Rubina, went through the crowd to the scene of the accident. Hanako followed close behind.

Feeling the warmth of Cocona's hand, Goh felt as if he could overcome his past for a little while.

<>"

Just then, Erza was healing the injured with her healing magic.

"Oh, thank you!

"Thank you, Count!"

(......Erza-sama healed him with healing magic ......)

(I think Erza-sama is a <> or > or > or ......, right?)

(...... yeah. I think he was one of the best healers in the world.)

(Someone like that would feel free to ......)

Goh and Rubina exchanged some words secretly so that onlookers around them could not hear them.

And then,

"<><>...... okay, please."

"Yes, master."

Jin fixed the damaged carriage, and Hope helped it up again.

（Jin-sama, you are very quick.)

(...... Yeah. (Excellent workmanship. ......)

Meanwhile, Reiko was taking care of the safety of the whole group.

Rubina and Goh saw her doing so.

Rubina's eyes lit up as she admired the brilliant workmanship, while Goh, seemingly oblivious to his past trauma, was transfixed by the work of Hope and Reiko.

"Thank you, sir!"

A guard saluted Daikie.

（Why not to Jin-sama?　(Why to Mr. Daikie and not to Jin-sama?)

(...... I'm sure Jin-sama and the others are doing rescue work without revealing their identities.)

(Oh, I see. ......)

(...... they are setting up the Countess family, maybe that's what they mean)

Goh and Rubina are whispering to each other.

Cocona, who was listening to them without listening, felt that Goh seemed to be a good analyst of the situation. At the same time, she was pleased to hear that the trauma of the accident seemed to have lessened a little.

Reiko, who is observing the whole situation, also notices that Goh, Rubina, and Cocona are coming out.

When Jin and the other rescuers were almost finished, I told him about it.

"Oh, Goh and Rubina are here too. Cocona is here too."

Jin beckoned the three of them.

Goh and Rubina followed him and went to his side.

"So you've come out. Well, Hanako seems to be with them, so there seems to be no more danger.

"...... I'm sorry."

I don't like to sit still.

Jin-sama, you, I'm sorry.

"It's okay. This is just another lesson for you."

Jin and Daikie did not scold the three.

They did not ask about Goh's trauma.

It's something Goh has to get over on his own.

Then Erza returns.

"All of them are alive. The healing went well.

"Oh, thank you, Erza-sama!"

Daikie thanks her.

Daikio takes full credit for the rescue operation. Both Jin and Erza agreed to this.

"Thank you very much, sir."

A guard who had been checking the situation with the witnesses came over and thanked Daikin.

"No, what? This is my role as an imperial nobleman.

Daikie replies in a confident manner.

Goh's eyes widened at the dignified gesture. It was not the good-natured Daikie he had seen before, but Daikie as a nobleman of the Shoro Kingdom.

* * * * * * * * * * *

When the rescue operation was over, five guards arrived, but there was already little left to do.

For the time being, they kept the unrelated onlookers away and proceeded to check the site and organize the situation.

Daiki briefly explained the situation and gave an overview of the relief efforts.

He reminded the participants not to give their real names at the request of ...... Jin.

Daikie then spoke with the captain of the soldiers.

"Thank you, sir."

"Yes. Thank you for your service.

You said you would report the details of this matter to your superiors.

That's right. My companions are somewhat special people. Perhaps His Majesty will ask to see them in person.

I see. I see. ...... Thank you very much for your cooperation. Thank you for your cooperation!

"Mm."

Daikie then returned to the golem carriage. Jin and the others were already in the carriage.

"Thank you for waiting."

It was the usual Daikin. <

"It took you a long time, didn't it? I apologize.

No, I'm just helping people. Right, guys?

Yes.

Yes.

Yes!

We were all proud to help out on this rescue mission. No one complained that we lost time.

Well, let's make this quick.

Hope, please.

Yes, master.

<

However, it does so with great care so as not to cause an accident like the previous carriage.

Hope's reaction speed and Reiko's detection ability were enough to prevent such an accident.

The < with the group on board arrives at the capital city of Leuthart.
