「—Carriage 」

I turned around to face them and gave an obvious answer.
No, I am not blind. I can see it myself that this is not an ordinary carriage.
The shock absorbers, the tyres, and the Japanese finish of the exterior and interior were tell-tale signs.
But I will play my clueless card.

「…… You must be a nobleman of some kingdom to have such a magnificent carriage……」

I shook my head at Char and denied it.

「……I’m only an adventurer. Remember what I asked you yesterday to keep as a secret? 」
「Ah, yes…… Yes. I won’t pry into it any further 」
「I’ll appreciate it. Let’s get some breakfast ready. I’m sorry to say, but it’s soup and bread again」
「We’re very grateful just to have a warm meal」

We stopped talking and I served the food on the table.
I could see more than Char, Al was itching where she stood to say something.

「What’s up ……? 」

When I prompted her to speak, Al spoke with a glint in her eye.

「Oh…… That’s an Obsidian Battlehorse isn’t it……? 」
「Sure is…… That’s my pal……」
「I knew it! It’s a dream for a knight to ride an Obsidian Battlehorse— Oh, I mean, it’s a dream shared by all knights in our country…… 」

So she thinks she’s disguising herself, but it’s too late. She has taken off her armour and is now dressed crudely, however her demeanour is that of a knight, and even yesterday she referred to herself as a “Kingsguard”.
I chuckled, but listened and nodded in agreement.

Even after we had taken our seats and started to eat, the questions from the two of them did not stop.

「You look about the same age as us, Touya-sama, but you seem quite calm 」
「That’s what I thought, too. But when I saw him fight with the orcs…… 」

Al’s cheeks flushed again as she referenced yesterday’s fight.
Giving the truth that I’m long pasty thirty is out of question, not like they’ll believe it anyway.
「Maybe it’s because I have been adventuring on my own for a long time. I have been through a lot as well…… 」

As if my words had given me away, Al changed the subject to spare my feelings.

「Even so, Touya-sama must be pretty high level. You had no problem dealing with that many orcs and soldiers. I’m sure you’re a highly respected warrior 」
「Al, Touya-san is a mage. He used wind magic that time when he saved you, Al 」

Al and Char look at each other as they disagree.

「No, I’m a Recovery Priest 」
「What? 」

They look at me in disbelief and I take my guild card out of my pocket and place it on the table.
They pick it up and look at it, and look even more surprised.
「He really is a Recovery Priest…… And he’s still level 17!? 」

Oh, my level must have risen in yesterday’s fight.

「I can’t believe it …… You are lower than me. But yesterday’s fight…… it doesn’t make any sense……. 」
「I can’t thank you enough, Touya-sama, for confronting that many orcs and soldiers to protect us with this level…… 」

They were blown away by how my level was lower than they imagined. Al was perplexed and Char was horrified.
I shook my head as I tucked the card back into my pocket.

「No problem, I’ve always fought alone …….Although, it was my first time killing another person ……. 」

I was expecting my first human kill to be more of a drag, but after a night’s rest, it felt natural.
Perhaps it’s because as an adventurer, I might find myself in a similar situation someday.
It is imperative I accept it now.

Once we finished eating and sorting our stuff, we prepared to leave.
I advised Al to remain dressed as she was. If she wore her silver-white amour with the Empire’s emblem on it, that could spark a problem when entering the city.
So I took Al’s armour, which she was content with, and stowed it away in Dimensional Storage, and told them to get into the carriage.
「I think it’ll take us a half a day to get to the city. Until then, you’ll have to stay inside and be patient 」

They were impressed with the ride of the carriage as they settled inside.

「This carriage ride might be better than the carriage of a nobleman, or even a royal family…… 」
「It really is…… 」

I was glad they liked it, so I hooked up the carriage to Kokuyou.

「Kokuyou, take us to town 」

I stroked his neck and he agreed with a nicker.
I got on the coachman seat and signalled to Kokuyou, and the carriage slowly started to move forward.
It may be because he was pulling the carriage, or it may be because he was carrying passengers, but the carriage was only mildly faster than a normal one.
On the coachman seat I opened my status.

I looked at my status and let out a sigh.
When I raised the Mage level to 100, the same job change screen appeared.
I had thought this time I would find a “Warrior class”, but the job displayed was a tertiary type in the game, the highest level of the magic job alongside the Berserker.
With no other alternative, I chose it, I chose the Sage job. However, after becoming a Sage, the 100x experience items in my Dimensional Storage were no longer usable, and had become antiques in my Dimensional Storage.
I took out my guild card, and it sensed and displayed my level and magic power but my job was still the same as when I registered.
Meaning no one will know about my job change.
I don’t even know if anybody besides me can raise their level to 100.
And once again, there is more reason for me not to show people my status.
…… I wonder if I can actually become a Warrior.

The carriage continued on the dirt road with these thoughts running through my head.
And after three hours of travelling, the city of Fendi came in sight.
