I Was a Loner, but My Class Got Summoned to Another World…-Chapter 59: Short Trip Back

The four youths took an hour to return to the carriage area. It was later than planned, as the day had almost ended, making it difficult to traverse the dark terrain.

Thankfully, they had the owl to help guide the team with its useful night vision. It would rise into the sky from time to time and lead them towards the carriage area.

The trip back in the carriage was quiet, as everyone was far too tired, with many thoughts keeping them busy.

Chloe sat near the window, her thoughts shifting between her newfound friendship and her duty to the kingdom.

On one hand, she worried about the future of the kingdom and the heavy financial toll the war was causing. On the other hand, she had her new responsibility as Logan’s knight and saw how helping him could potentially benefit the kingdom’s future, even if he wasn’t the most liked hero.

She tried balancing the two, thinking about the report she would have to make in a few hours. As Logan’s knight, she had to stay with him and send back word via magical communication.

She sighed a few times until she felt Kai, who was next to her, poke her cheek.

"Why do you look so down, Clo? I know you like thinking a lot, but we need to show that we are enjoying ourselves at least," the boy said, trying to cheer her up.

"I told you not to call me that," she replied, lightly slapping his hand away.

"You didn’t have a problem when I used to call you that as kids," Kai retorted, reeling back his hand as if it were broken.

"We are working right now. Let’s talk about this later," Chloe muttered, glaring at him. Then she noticed how the two youths in front of her stared back at her.

"You know, we could have ordered another carriage for you two," Rubina commented with a smirk.

"Why would we need that? Hmpf." Chloe turned back to the window.

Logan tried to look away, feeling that both of his knights shared the same bond he had with Lisa. He sighed, trying to imagine what she would be doing at that moment and how he would not be able to see her once they went their separate ways.

"I guess I will have to go back with the heroes, at least for today. Tomorrow, I will need to speak to my mentor about my plans for the next few days. How about you three?" Logan asked the group.

"Well, I need to speak with my father about certain matters. I also hope this little one will hatch soon," Rubina said, hugging the small hatching device that emitted heat. She kept the fire mana stones charged using her own mana.

"We will be provided rooms when we reach the castle, so that we are near you, Logan. Don’t mind us; we will be close enough in case of danger," Chloe explained, while Kai nodded in agreement as she explained their situation.

"Okay, well, I will need to stop by your house first, Rubina. I need to pick up the tame beasts I can bring back to the castle. I doubt they will let me enter riding on Scorch," he declared, eager to return to his tames as soon as possible.

"Sure thing," Rubina nodded in approval. "Why don’t you all stay for dinner and go back after Logan is done."

"Woo! Finally, we will eat something other than quick meals. I am starving," Kai admitted, holding his empty stomach.

"We just ate about four hours ago..." Chloe sighed, holding her forehead in exasperation.

"What? I am still a growing boy. I have yet to reach my final height," Kai replied, bumping her with his shoulder gently.

"Very well, we will accept your offer, Ms. Rubina," Chloe said with a slight bow.

"You don’t need to do that, Chloe. Don’t we know each other from a long time ago? Just treat me as you would a friend," Rubina replied, feeling slightly sad.

"Ugh, when will you stop being so cold to Ruby, Clo," Kai exclaimed, bumping against Chloe again.

"Fine, sorry about that, Rubina. We’ll happily go then," Chloe did a retake, her voice more friendly.

Logan couldn’t help but laugh as he watched the three teenagers interact. His new tame, the basilisk, coiled in the middle of the carriage, raised its head to see why its master was happy.

"Sorry about that, Basilisk. We will let you rest." Logan petted the snake’s head, and it went back to sleep.

"Don’t tell me you haven’t named her yet?" Kai observed, amazed at how Logan had completely tamed the beast. The large reptile still scared him, even though his father had a few at home.

"I did not have the time..." Logan responded, thinking about the topic.

"Oh, before you start thinking about names, don’t go calling the poor creature Basil," Rubina joked, trying to prevent Logan from doing the obvious.

"Well, there go three names..." Logan whispered dejectedly.

"Don’t tell me..." Kai responded, laughing.

"Fine, what do you all suggest then…" Logan glared at them as if challenging them to do better.

"Terra, Celin, Petra," all three voiced out at the same time.

"Now then, let’s see which one she likes," Logan asked his tamed beast to face towards the person whose name it liked.

It remained still for a few seconds, then raised its head towards Logan.

[No goodsss, bad], it transmitted in a foul mood.

"There you have it, none of them seemed to work," Logan chuckled.

"Well, which one were you going to use then?" Rubina asked, feeling bad that Celin wasn’t liked.

"Silis, of course, would have been my choice," Logan said, wondering what his creature thought of the name.

[Sssilisss, like, muchsss], the serpent transmitted, wrapping the end of her tail around Logan’s leg as if thankful for its new name.

"Well, there you have it, it will be Silis," Logan smiled, feeling good about his naming ability.
