I Was Told, “I Can’t Leave the Territory Management to You, Brother-in-law!!”, So I Restarted My Adventurer Life in My Mother’s Homeland – Chapter 44

Chapter 44: In the Carriage Heading to Faniaal Territory
  After parting ways with Goddess Aleamia, they boarded the Super Express Carriage and were heading to Faniaal Territory, a journey that would take a day and a night.
 
  “Didn’t you feel bad for Tohlight-san?”
 
  Jaylot asked Eld, who was watching the scenery with his arms crossed.
 
  “……Maybe.”
 
  Eld replied absentmindedly. He had barely spoken since getting into the carriage. Of course, Eld had told Tohlight that he was returning to Faniaal Territory. Tohlight had said he would come along, but Eld asked him to go somewhere else. Tohlight’s expression at that time was more dejected than Eld had ever seen.
 
  “At this rate, it looks like we’ll arrive by noon. The Super Express Delivery Service really is fast.”
 
  Mary said, watching the scenery flow by at high speed.
 
  “It’s amazing that we don’t feel the speed at all inside the carriage, even though it’s so fast.”
 
  Millenia also said, gazing at the scenery. After a moment of silence, Eld spoke.
 
  “No good. No matter how I think about it, I can’t imagine it going well by suddenly barging in and demanding to see the Goddess of Curses.”
 
  “Is that what you’ve been thinking about this whole time since we got in the carriage?”
 
  Mary said, exasperated.
 
  “Well, yeah. I thought we should at least come up with a plan.”
 
  Eld sat back down heavily.
 
  “Certainly, even if we demand to see the Goddess, they’ll just say they don’t know anything about her, right?”
 
  Jaylot said with a wry smile.
 
  “Even if we find the Goddess of Curses, can we even defeat her?”
 
  “Ah, I think that’ll probably be alright.”
 
  Eld answered Jaylot’s question.
 
  “Apparently, the magic swords we have were originally created during the era when the Goddesses and the Demon Tribe were at war, made by the Demon Tribe to slay the Goddesses.”
 
  “Heh,”Millenia and Jaylot murmured.
 
  “Well, it’s a legend from before the country was founded, so I don’t know how true it is, but the fact that Goddess Aleamia didn’t say anything in particular means that at least we can slay the Goddess of Curses with the magic swords, right?”
 
  “……Did Goddess Aleamia know that Onii-sama had a magic sword?”
 
  Millenia asked.
 
  “Who knows? The first time I met her was at the place where the magic sword was sealed, and since she’s a Goddess, it seems like she could tell if she sensed it.”
 
  Eld said, tilting his head.
 
  “W-well……has Eld-nii-sama always been this reckless?”
 
  “When he was the lord, Tohlight-san was there to support him, and there weren’t any dangerous situations like this, so he was quite thoughtful, but he’s been this reckless since our academy days.”
 
  Mary said with a sigh.
 
  “Whether it’s his amazing intuition or his incredible luck, things always seem to work out in the end.”
 
  “……Perhaps it was the right decision for Eld-nii-sama to resign as lord. I don’t think Sandrea-neesama would ever do things this way.”
  Jaylot felt a cold sweat.
 
  “Mary-oneesama, are you sure you’re okay with being engaged to Onii-sama?”
 
  Millenia was also inwardly panicking, seeing her brother’s true nature for the first time.
 
  “Huh? Am I being looked down on or something?”
 
  Hearing that, Millenia and Jaylot wanted to sigh.
 
  “If you think of it from an adventurer’s perspective, it’s more fun to do things this way. It’s rather strange that he was able to be a lord for three years.”
 
  “Oh, even you’re saying that.”
 
  Eld looked at Mary.
 
  “But it’s also true that we’ve been saved by his recklessness. That’s why I’m with Eld. If I didn’t like it, I would have broken up with him long ago.”
 
  Mary said bashfully. Seeing that, Eld smiled.
 
  “Anyway, we’ll be arriving soon. As I said before, Mary and I will go to the Goddess of Curses. Millenia and Jaylot, you go to Sandrea and stop what she’s trying to do. Please save Sandrea before it’s too late.”
 
  “Understood.”
 
  “Leave Sandrea-oneesama to us.”
 
  “I’m happy to be able to go all out after a long time. I need to let off some steam before I go crazy.”
 
  Hearing that, a shiver ran down Eld’s spine. Millenia and Jaylot tilted their heads, not understanding what she meant.
