Previously:

Upon entering the world of her exaoal of the exa several bandits Orie Tonrai, her exaives Elaru a map of the area which allows her to narron the potential whereabouts of the bandits Elaru decides to quickly fly over the area and detect the bandits through her h the sky with a speed of an arrow, not even leaving a multicolored blur behind A beautiful redhead accelerated the the brunette around the waist

The only sound that could be heard other than the whooshi+ng of the air as it hit their faces, was a soft rattling of objects inside Orie’s leather pouch hanging around her neck, that kept bouncing up and down, hitting her bosos as the birds didn’t seem to notice the, surrounded by the sea of green, ht have been a picturesque scene if it weren’t for the pale face and the tightly shut eyes of the brunette

Occasionally, she would involuntarily open her eyes and look back worriedly (Can prof Iphis keep up with this speed?), before closing her eyes hastily once again to suppress her nausea

The redhead, on the other hand, had a nonchalant facial expression, yet her back, drenched in cold sweat, revealed her true thoughts: Darn it! Why are you guys so slow?

She had wanted to showcase her aweso speed, but who kneould turn out like this?

Orie couldn’t keep up with her speed, so Elaru was forced to carry her along To make matters worse, Orie wasn’t the only one who had trouble keeping up with her speed – the exah

Perhaps the problem lay in the fact that she had concealed their presence andable to feel the theel of the three had two elibu deadweights he needed to carry along, while she only had one – Elaru concluded Orie and her were sliht females, but that peacekeeper had some muscle underneath the uniforh to count as a half a person

When the camp site of the four bandits appeared in front of the two, Elaru wasted no time and quickly landed in the bushes nearby If it was her alone, she would have continued hovering above the bandits and waiting for an opportunity to attack, however, her instincts told her that she should land as soon as possible

And indeed, her judg as ever, for as soon as Orie’s feet touched the ground she stuttered forwards and started e her stomach in the bushes

While Orie’s body shook, Elaru kept aardly patting her back in as supposed to be a coesture (Is this the fabled motion sickness papa told me about?)

Orie felt so ashamed she wanted to disappear then and there She wished she could just crawl under a rock and hide Her face was red, her eyes turned glassy, and she was biting on her lip

That face full of grievancea weak and gentle virgin Yet, she couldn’t help but also feel aggrieved due to the ordeal Hoas I supposed to know that ht cause such a rare ailht?

In an effort to redeem herself, Elaru plucked a handful of nearby flowers and offered it to Orie, hoping that the flowery scent would elevate her nausea But when the flower scentfrom the leather pouch around Orie’s neck, the results were less than satisfactory

Orie looked down at the bouquet of wild flowers and felt even more e! It was si Muni’s flawless reputation She even troubled a poor examinee to take care of her A fail of an examiner!

She was supposed to be a supervisor whose role was to draw out more infor She was supposed to offer suggestions and advice that would serve as trick questions, but in the end, not only did she fail to dig out anything she was supposed to dig out, she was even dragging down this poor redhead

After a ed to calm down a bit, or rather, she e rated the vomit so that the smell wouldn’t spread and alert the bandits

She wanted to offer a handkerchief to Orie, but she realized that she didn’t have one Why would she need a handkerchief when she could simply Cleanse all contamination?

By the time she determined what cloth on her body would be the most suitable to tear off to serve as a handkerchief, Orie was already wiping herher mouth, Orie’s eyes landed on the inconspicuous silver bracelet on her wrist, and suddenly, she felt like crying all over again

Meanwhile, the rereatly confused by the sounds of throwing up co from the bracelet on Zakaria’s wrist

The strict face of the peacekeeper showed signs of worry, while he atteher Zakaria pretended to not hear anything, her expression re as aloof as ever

Unlike the other two, Zerel’s et to add oil to the fire:

“Wait, Thadi, go back I think we flew right past thehtly expression on Thaddeus’s griht a whiff of voained her co in the bushes at a safe distance, while Elaru took care of the bandits Since Orie couldn’t help her subdue the how Orie’s smile turned stiff, Elaru hastily added: “I need you to stay undetected and fire a signal flare if I run into trouble If both of us end up captured without notifying anyone, our mission would be a coreed to keep watch while Elaru stealthily made her way towards the campsite

Now that she was alone, she felt as if a heavy weight had been lifted froh the forest silently, invisible to both sight and mana sense

On the way towards the camp, she noticed that the bandits had surrounded all paths towards their campsite with traps of various kinds Most of the it difficult to detect with , so she was paying extra attention Otherwise, even her Aethernea of Sight wouldn’t have been enough to notice every taut string and covered hole

While she washer way towards the bandits, she noticed that the three exaht up with them They picked up Orie inside their invisibility barrier (probably to question her on the wretched sounds they had heard) and flew above the forest to monitor the situation better
