Chapter 5 - Hitchhiking With The Cursed Young Miss

As Arthur felt his body being sucked into the portal he let out a sigh of relief and raised his hand to wipe off the cold sweat which had formed from… 

"I can move, finally!" Arthur said with an ecstatic face as he jumped up and down like a child who got the Christmas present he always wanted.

"Of course, you can move now, you just needed time to get used to your new body constitution."

"New body constitution?" Arthur said with a perplexed tone.

"To make your body suitable for magic it needed to be recreated from a cellular level, otherwise even if you could use magic your body would have imploded."

"I see, that makes sense."

"You're not surprised." Yuki said with more of a shocked expression than Arthur who had found out his body was newly created.

"My body was electrocuted by lightning and I doubt lightning from a god would be normal lightning, so there is no way it could stay intact, right?" Arthur said matter of factly.

"…"

"Anyway, we have something more important to focus on right now."

Hearing that, Yuki cutely tilted her head wondering what could be more important.

As Arthur saw this, he once again affirmed how cute his companion in this new life was.

While Arthur was stunned, Yuki noticed what he meant by something more important; however, when she did, she couldn't stop herself from clicking her tongue in frustration at not realizing the carriage which should have already sped by had stopped and not only that someone in a suit of armor was coming their way.

With her enhanced senses she should have picked up on such a small detail; however, her conversation with Arther made her lose her focus.

Luckily, during her loss of focus, nothing happened.

As for the blue haired red eyed teenager running towards them she could sense no malice except for urgency as for the reason why she had already known as soon as she first sensed the carriage coming their way.

Although she became surprised they had actually stopped their carriage instead of finding a high leveled healing mage, she did not panic.

Not that she would need to, even if they were hostile.

But then she saw him turning around and running back…

At this point neither she nor Arthur, who she could see from out of the corner of her eye, could process what happened. At one second, the carriage sped past, then it stopped, a teenager in full armor stepped out, he ran halfway towards them and then turned around and started running back.

"Hey Yuki, do you know where we should go?"

"No"

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"No, but I can read your mind."

"…"

"Excuse me, do you mind taking us to the nearest town, we are currently lost" Arthur shouted towards the guard who looked almost the same age as him.

The guard nicknamed Leo hesitated before remembering why they stopped the carriage in the first place, turned around and shouted "Okay, but we are currently in hurry" before he once again resumed running towards the carriage.

After Arthur heard his hasty reply, he picked Yuki up and ran towards the carriage while admiring just how soft and fluffy Yuki felt in his arms.

Not even realizing he appeared next to the carriage within seconds while the armored teenager who was much closer to the carriage only arrived after. 

Because the guard didn't want to delay any longer, he opened the door and entered with Arthur, who was now stunned and couldn't believe how spacious the interior was. At first glance, the carriage which could occupy no more than four people looked more like the interior of a mansion than a carriage.

Arthur could see tables and couches which at a second glance looked more like a living room. How was that even possible?

However, it was then as Arthur continued following the guard much deeper into the carriage they came across a closed room.

And after Leonard opened the door the first thing Arthur saw was a sickly pale scarlet haired girl who looked even younger than himself.

While Arthur wondered why she looked sickly pale with purplish black miasma surrounding her He heard [She has been cursed by a high level Dark mage. If not for those Divine Eyes of hers, she would have been dead a long time ago.] Yuki said through voice transmission.

"This… how can someone be so sinister?" Arthur said through gritted teeth practically yelling out.

But as soon as Arthur did he noticed there were other people inside the room other than the sickly looking girl. There were three identical looking guards who were most likely triplets, an older kind looking butler, and even the once closed eyed girl, opened her eyes which caused his face to turn red in embarrassment as he muttered "Sorry" very quietly.
