While moving through the forest, in order to avoid any more fighting, I was hurrying but sneaking along, and somehow I managed to get out of the forest without encountering any monsters.
The place we're in now was, just as expected, so far from the territorial capital that the city walls were already out of sight.
We've checked all the way out to a place this far away, and for now, even if something happens in the forest, it won't affect the territorial capital... probably, but...
"We've come pretty far..."
While walking through the grassland to get to the road, Zighart looked east and muttered weakly.
We'd already come all the way from the east side of the northern forest, moving through the forest while scouting and fighting.
There's also 【Prayer】, and even if our fatigue itself isn't that heavy, just thinking about walking back seems to make him feel depressed.
Still, he probably doesn't want to use 【Small Orb】, and even while saying this and that, he probably intends to go back on foot.
"Should I fly to the territorial capital and call for someone to pick us up?"
It might not be impossible to bring just the horses... but I don't know if we could safely bring them all the way here.
Earlier I managed to pull the reins well, but that was only a very short distance.
At my suggestion, Zighart folded his arms as if thinking, but soon shook his head.
"Well... there's some distance, but it's not a distance we can't run back. There's also 【Prayer】... so it should be fine."
"You're going to run back?"
Even though we've already traveled quite a distance, he's pretty tough.
When I muttered that half in exasperation, Zighart looked at me while doing warm-up exercises to run.
"Walking takes way too much time, after all. You keep watch on our surroundings from above. ...Let's go!"
I nodded, "Roger," and after activating 【Prayer】, I gained altitude.
◇
I'm flying in the sky a little ahead of Zighart, watching the surroundings.
In the grasslands on both sides of the road, there are signs of monsters here and there, but... since it's daytime, they're still hiding in the grassland.
There's no movement at all, and maybe I just happened to notice them, but they might be asleep.
When I turn my gaze to Zighart running on the road, he occasionally glances at the grassland, but there's no sign he's going to stop.
He's probably noticed them too, but the fact that he ignores them anyway probably means there's no need to finish them off.
It seems Zighart's noticed them too, and if there's no need to worry that much about the monsters around us, then the rest is what's ahead.
"Whoa? A merchant caravan's coming into view?"
Though it's a few hundred meters away, a line of carriages heading for the territorial capital caught my eye.
They've got guards too, and if we carelessly got close and they attacked us or something, it could become a serious matter for both sides.
We need to be more careful of this than monsters.
I lowered my altitude and reported to Zighart that there was a group moving ahead.
"We're faster, huh. At this rate, we'll catch up. ...Were there any noticeable crests or markers?"
"No, I don't think there were. They had solid guards, though. Should I go on ahead?"
"Yeah... They weren't nobles, were they?"
"At least, I didn't get any sense of pomp... I think it's probably a merchant caravan?"
It's not necessarily the case that all nobles ride in carriages with crests and have excellent guards... but when it comes to nobles coming to Riana's territorial capital at this time of year, that's a different story.
In that sense, it's helpful that there's no need to hesitate.
Maybe my thoughts got through to him, and Zighart laughed, "Hmph."
"Then I'll leave it to you. I'll slow down a bit and keep running."
"Yeah. Then... I'll go on ahead!"
For now. I don't know where the people ahead are from, but it'd be better to deactivate 【Fairy's Eye】.
While I'm at it, I need to put the snakes away too.
Once I'd finished preparing, I maintained roughly the same height as a mounted rider and sped up to catch up with those ahead.
