Chapter 152
A Relaxing Journey by Horse
And so it was decided that Toshizou Hijikata and Jeanne would accompany me to Count Ismalia’s lands.
While Hijikata was a fashionable man, he did not do much to prepare, as according to him, they would not be meeting any women on the road.
Jeanne asked what use a servant of God had for fashion, and she only brought her usual armor and white clothes that resembled a dress.
And so preparations were completed very quickly, and we mounted our horses.
The reason that I chose not to ride a carriage, was because horses would be faster.
Besides, I knew that this negotiation would go nowhere.
Count Ismalia would waste no time in showing his true colors, and arresting us. And then we just had to escape and reunite with Eve. That’s when the real work would begin.
It would be a waste to bring a carriage if it was just going to be taken away. That was my reasoning.
