I had really thought that your chief would come here directly”
“I as well”
Zynis and Arthur said
“Our chief did want to coet here er”
“IndeedIt is very troubleso curiosity meets quick actionMaki, Chihaaru, please come here”
As they had been called by the king, Maki and Chiharu hesitantlyas to avoid the two bird people as much as possible
“Look up at the skySee, above the city”
It was thethat they had seen the Saintess palace froht and the city that stretched below the royal palaceThis was a port cityNo wonder why the clams had been so deliciousChiharu recalled their lunch yesterdayShe would have to ask if they had sashi+ulls? They looked very big
“Those are bird peopleThey are a very curious race and have crossed the sea from the beast lands in just half a daySohtseeIf there is soht whisk them off their feet and into the clouds, much to the people’s pleasure, and we usually have a very friendly relationshi+p with them”
“Usually?”
“We have nothing but trouble when it comes to SaintessesAs they so love to travel, they do not understand the feelings of a Saintess who does not wish to leave the palaceAnd they have tried to abduct thesThey would often appear at the Saintess palace without warning, hly disliked by your predecessorShe especially disliked the chief”
“And so we did not want to tell theot settled a little”
Zynis saidAnd then the brother butted in
“But the sky is so fun!”
Have you no shaht with contempt
“Didn’t you say that you would drop me if I moved!”
“I said that you would drop if you moved”
GrrrrrrPerhaps he didBut it was still aggravatingI knohat to do!
“Saying that I would fall in that situation is the sa! Bird people are scaaary”
“Oh, Chihaaru, you poor thingThose scoundrels wereexperiments with our airshi+ps as wellThere is no need to consort with these bird peopledamn itWe elves are not like those ruffians, rest assured”
OhI’m so sorryIt seems like I accidentally fooled a different, decent personIt hurts my conscious
“Chihaaru…”
The kinglike a child just now
“No, we bird people are not scary! I only told you the truth so you would not be in danger!”
Still going on, huh?
“Ahhhh, being pulled so suddenly gave ht!”
“It’s not frightful, it’s not! See? I will do it properly next tihtful, it’s not! See? I will do it properly next time”
The brother said frantically, but Maki and Grudo were holding their sto
“Why are you laughing!” “Why are you laughing!”
Both Aeris and the bird brother asked at the sah louderHmmm, I better stop it here for the sake of Aeris and his purenessThe bird brother acted like a child, so a child’s revenge was all that was necessary
“I areat shockBut the fact that Saintesses could not be sent to the beast lands has been a disadvantage to us as wellEven when an outrage like this occurs, we can do no , as we h, we should have had better securityWe will do e can in regards to security ive us”
The king saidChiharu’s eyes caught Maki’s and they thought the saIt could not be helped
“We forgive you” “We forgive you”
“I arateful”
“It is deplorable that such a person is to be the next chiefYou two, you are the ones who should apologize, Sauro and Saikania”
Zynis urged
“I rong to be in such a rush”
“I wouldn’t have been as rough as my brother over here”
“Saikania! Apologize!”
“I am sorry”
They didn’t seem sincere one bitOh, dearMaki asked them a question
“Were you really going to take Chiharu and fly over the sea?”
“YesThough, carrying someone that far is really hardI would have probably dropped her along the way”
This guyChiharu was burning with rage as Maki calmly continued
“It would be painful to be carried the whole wayI would like to ride in a basket”
“A basket?” “A basket?”
Sauro and Saikania said in unison
“You knohat I mean, Chiharu? Like in those cartoonsYou tie a bunch of string to a basked and the crows take you away”
“There is no such cartoon”
Chiharu said flatlyShe didn’t want to agree with her
“That is trueI had thought to carry you myself, but it would bedistanceWe are forbidden fro related to airshi+ps as the pull of levistones makes them unstable, but perhaps we could balance it out with three people?”
“Then you will be able to put multiple people inside, and tourists to the beast lands will increase!”
“Us dwarves are glad to help with any interesting enterprises, you know?”
See? I knew that this would happen! Though, the king was stillhis temples
See? I knew that this would happen! Though, the king was stillhis temples
Yes, it does seeested in the beginning, I would have been excited, I would have wanted the bird people to carry usI would have lined up for hours and paid to buy tickets
But that was scaryIt was scary
“Sorry, ChiharuI know you were scaredI should have thought about that”
Maki tried to take out a handkerchief, but she didn’t even have oneAnd so Aeris softly wiped away her tears
“Is she crying?”
“I a”
“Sorry”
