big wooden box on the same bed as mine.

It’s not strange that there is a lot of food and big items stored here because it’s merchant’s luggage.

However, there are signs in this one.

And sometimes I can hear voices like this.

I don’t know the contents of the luggage because I’m not a merchant here.

However, there may be some sort of creature behind the signs and voices.

It is common among nobles to keep birds and adult demons for pets.

Nothing is wrong with the carriage.

But the voice is strangely familiar. Specifically, three voices with green skin.

I’m just a person hitching a ride. There is no reason to open the luggage without permission.

If I do that, I will be kicked out.

That’s why I just pretend not to notice…

I kick the wooden box lightly.

『 『 『…………』 』 』

There is a surpised reaction coming from the box.

I continue kicking with a geshigeshi noise.

The box keeps on making a “bikubiku” sound.

I’m suspicious.

If it’s a normal animal, it should be screaming, and if I hear a scream, I shouldn’t be wrong. I can’t sleep because of the swaying signs.

In other words, it is intentionally silent. What will it do if I keep kicking like this…

After a while of being swayed by the carriage, the carriage finally stopped and took a break.

Speaking of which, I asked the merchant about the village and Ether ahead of us, and we ate lunch together.

『Well… I’m getting hungry.』

『Me too. And it’s so narrow and stuffy and painful.』

『No one is here now, can we get the food they have loaded?』

『OK, will you?』

Although I can hear it all.

I return to the carrier as if I came back from outside without noticing anything.

“Oh, I have eaten my fill. Now I only need to be taken to the next city, Ether.”

『 『 『The bad hobgoblin newt to us!』 』 』

“Hey! I can’t stand it anymore, fucking goblins! I tried to act as if nothing is happening, but that’s the limit! Hide better!”

『I thought you were hitting the box and talking about food alone!』

『But you knew we were in the box and kicked!』

『This hobgoblin!』

When I shouted, the goblins finally broke the lid of the wooden box and appeared.

Oh oh, they’re irritated if they’re hungry.

“Yeah, on purpose. You’re moving and making Mozomozo sounds so I can’t help but care.”

『 『 『what! Huh?』 』 』

“Oh, that’s okay. You’re out. You’ll be poisoned in the woods the next time you wake up!”

“Um … Jed, what’s wrong?”

After heraing the ruckus, the merchant approaches me with a bitter smile.

『Yeah, let’s go back to the box.』

“No, no… nothing.”

I lower my face thay involontarily turns red. There is no point justifying. No matter how you look at it, it was just noise.

“I see. I know you’re looking forward to Ether, but we’re not there yet.”

The merchant, with warm eyes, puts his hand on my shoulder as if he is teaching a child.

I look like a child looking forward to becoming an adventurer.

I wonder if this is what I look like out of the village…
