Chapter 7 (1/2)

She was happy; today was sunny

“Should I fly for a bit?”

If it was raining, she would have had to use a lot of , she'd only have to manipulate some wind

In the current era where there were feitches, people who flew through the sky stood out a whole lot

Hence, as long as she flew outside of anyone's periphery, she didn't have to worry

She'd be , and yet, it would allow her to reach her destination faster Also, getting tired was nothing co a life

Astraea closed her eyes, and then called for the wind, please lend me a bit of your power

And just like a bird — as if she had wings — she expanded on the ie in her head

At the same time as she opened her eyes once more, Astraea fleards the sky with its white clouds floating about

Astraea had never visited the town of the fortress Eos had been appointed to

But when she flew, she was able to see where it was

“It's pretty big, huh?”

She guessed correctly that calling it fortress was a thing of the past Nowadays, they're called city fortresses

Despite its proximity to a national border and its terrain, the fortress should hardly receive any surprise attacks

“In the first place, guessing fro the last tihtest bit of time to invade Looks like it's now a shadow of the for such, Astraea facedthe fortress and began to slide through the air

The first tis on ed even till then It didn't h, but nevertheless, Astraea proceeded in a straight line towards a height higher than all of the trees

She looked through the forest once to ns of people

After flying to the edge of the forest, she walked on the ain flew fro out of the forest, crossing a mountain… This was able to shorten the ti of a road

There's a huge difference between have gone and trying to, Astraea once again realized She kneas far, but she didn't know just how far it really was

When Astraea finally saw the castle walls, she slowly alighted into the forest

Froht to the castle walls — suddenly, she realized

“There's way too little people around”

This fortress is a huge one, so there should be a bit of people coon,happen? And so, when Astraea hung her head to think, she noticed the sound of hooves froet closer

When Astraea unconsciously turned around, what she saas a familiar brown horse, Lazool, and–

“Why are you here…!?”

“…Eos, what's with… that appearance of yours?”

Different fro

Wait, she knew that he would always choose to wear a clean uniform But, he actually looks like a soldier

“Wait, I do know you're a soldier though”

“Let's talk later It's dangerous here, quickly coerous?”

What's dangerous about a nor, she was hauled up onto the horse by the time she realized it

And before she noticed, they passed by the castle walls, and moreover, the town, and after that–

“Where is this?”

“…”

When she looked around, it was obviously a hting fro just like that was an excellent way to get out of there, but it was just a rooe, it was quite comfortable
