I was sitting in the back of a horse-drawn carriage, no different from those used by ordinary people, as we watched the gates of the city receding from us.

 For some reason, the count asked us to disguise our identities as ordinary adventurers.  I turned my head and looked at the two women sitting in the horse carriage, their entire bodies hidden.

 While one of them was a small humanoid figure that did not deserve the word woman, the other was a magnificent beauty who could display her seductiveness despite the abundant covering she was wearing.

 The driver of the horse carriage was a C-class adventurer that I rented from the adventurers' guild.  I found the adventurers guild shortly after moving to this city.

 The adventurers' guild was located in a small bar-like place opposite the merchants' union building.  Contrary to what I thought, adventuring didn't seem like a very action-packed profession.

 After taking a quick look at the quests the adventurer guild has, I learned that they are mostly people who pick distant flowers, work in jobs that require strong physical strength such as construction or moving goods, or act as temporary guards on merchant convoys.

 I have seen that the members of the adventurers' guild are usually knights who have resigned from their jobs or people who do not want to be a knight but want to live a comfortable life even though they are the children of a powerful knight.  A two-star swordsman like me can easily become a B-class adventurer as long as he completes enough quests in the adventurer's guild.

 During a conversation a few days ago with the person responsible for accepting new quests in the adventurer's guild, I learned some things about the classification of adventurers.

 One question I asked that man was why a B-class adventurer was called a B-class adventurer. According to the answer I got from the man, adventuring was a profession that dates back to ancient times, and during the times when the demon king lived, a B-class adventurer could kill a giant race creature.  But since the current adventurers are at a much lower level than the old adventurers, their power levels are much lower even though they use the same level system.

 According to the man, a B-class adventurer must be an experienced 3-star swordsman according to the old conditions.  The lowest adventurer level according to current conditions is F class adventurers, and these adventurers are generally ordinary people.

 The lowest grade adventurer was an F rank adventurer, while the highest grade adventurer was an S rank adventurer living in the capital city of the kingdom.

 When the horse carriage proceeded for a while and got lost in the forest area outside the city, the agreement we made with the adventurer was completed and the adventurer got off the horse carriage and handed over the chauffeur's duty to me.

 Actually, I was the one who would drive the horse carriage throughout the journey, but we decided to do such a thing as per the count's request.  For the next 20 days, this adventurer will not return to the city again and it will appear as if he traveled with us.

 Although the carriage looks old, the horses of the carriage were horses arranged by the count.  They wanted the horses of the carriage not to be ordinary horses in case of a possible chase.

 As I directed the horses to speed up, the girls' relieved voices came from the wagon.  They probably must have been relieved to be rid of the thick covers over them.  Since we thought that hiring a tailor to make dresses would be contrary to our purpose, we put random covers we found on the girls as dresses, and these covers were probably not very air-permeable.

After about five hours of driving the horse-drawn carriage over an unused road, it started to get dark.  Although the darkness did not pose much of a problem for me, thanks to the eyes of the dark god, it was very difficult to convince the horses to move in the dark, we had to set up a temporary camp and spend the night here.

 "Why did you stop Yuto-kun, we can continue moving forward at night too"

 "I'm sorry, but the horses aren't moving. My love."

 As soon as I finished my sentence, I lowered my head a little and safely dodged Shizune's attack.

 "Ah ha ha ha, let's wait until the clouds that block the moon's light go away. If the clouds don't disappear, we'll set up camp, my love."

 "At least don't do that, still. If people hear you talking like that, even to make fun of a Butler, your reputation will be tarnished."

 When Natalia saw her enraged nephew, she involuntarily wanted to make fun of her even more.

 "I think you're right about that. If people only hear me call Yuto my love, they might think I'm having an affair with a servant boy."

 Shizune crossed her arms and made a smug voice as if to say, that's what I meant.

 "That's why you also love Yuto like me, Shizune."

 As the smile on her face slowly disappeared, Shizune realized that her aunt was making fun of her and lay down on her seat, not knowing what to do.

 "Tch, I'm going to sleep, I'm a fool for giving you advice."

 " This is a really bad idea. I'm sorry Natalia-sama, but I don't let Shizune call me love "

 When Shizune stood up angrily and pointed her finger at me, I held myself back from laughing, secretly anticipating what would happen next.

 "Haaaa? Since when do I have to get permission from you when I want to do something, Mr. Slave?"

 So you'll play with me like this

 "As I said, I don't allow you to call me love, Shizune-sama."

 "I can call you whatever I want, brat."

 " You can not "

 "I command you to shut up, MY LOVE"

 Because of the order I received, I couldn't open my mouth and say anything, which made the situation even more embarrassing for Shizune.

 Seeing Shizune about to cry while standing with her finger pointed at me, Natalia stopped laughing and took control of the situation.

 "Thank you, Shizune, for addressing your own butler like that, for my dignity. It must have been hard for you, come and hug me."

 Even though I instinctively felt that Shizune's order was no longer valid, when I looked at Shizune diving her head into the huge watermelons, I was too depressed to speak.

 "As if the clouds have dispersed, we continue our journey in the moonlight. Giddy up!"
