Chapter 25 Part1 (1/2)

The three of us moved through the forest.

According to Arisa, there's some sacred relic deep in the forest that can transfer us to our destination, and that makes it possible to transfer close to the town where the feudal lord lives.

It's the so-called warp gate.

Apparently it's one of the sacred relics that can't be reproduced through current technology.

”Even so, there's a convenient item that makes it possible to transfer. As expected from a fantasy.”

On the way to our destination, we took a break by the riverside.

I found a suitable rock, and sat on it.

”It's thanks to the sacred relic. We have to be grateful to the ancient people.”

Said Arisa.

”Certainly, it is amazing. I've never heard of such a thing.”

Ellie quietly sat at Arisa's feet.

”Fufu, I'm sure that the only ones who know about it are us.”

While stroking Ellie's ears, Arisa smiled.

As if she felt good, Ellie just let Arisa continue that.

Giving that a sidelong glance, I ate some dried meat.

It's the dragon meat from before.

I should say as expected of a dragon, it's meat is delicious even in this state.

(Why won't Ellie let me touch her ears……?)

”About how much longer do you think it will take till reach town?”

”I think we'll have already reached there by evening.”

Possibly satisfied, Arisa's hand separated from Ellie.

”Really, master, you eat a lot.”

While watching me throw meat into my stomach one after the other, Ellie said that, amazed.

”Ellie, do you want to eat too?”

Arisa took out some dried meat, and hung it in front of Ellie.

Without hesitating, Ellie *paku* bit at it.

Ellie *guhaguha* bit at Arisa's meat.

What a pleasant sight.

”……What are you smiling at, Ed?”

Arisa looked over here with her eyes.

”……No, it's nothing.”
