Stocking up on the miraculous water we left the archeology guild and following Michaela’s directions are now walking on the road connecting Eniado and the desert.

Sand is everywhere.

We stepped into the desert.

「So this is Eniado’s famous desert that hides ancient ruins.」

「Yes. And now, with purple storms, it’s the desert of death.」

「What a disturbing name. ……Let me confirm this. From here I go straight ahead, Berzelia to the north, and Saki to the south?」

I say looking at the copy of the map, that we received from Michaela along with the miraculous water, to which Berzelia and Saki nodded.

「We’ve got the water, so it should be fine.」

「No problem, Axel.」

She said, patting on a large pouch hanging on her waist.

Inside were bottles with miraculous water, which they will have to drink during the trip. Looking at us, Michaela said a bit worriedly.

「Everyone, please, be careful. If you run out of miraculous water, don’t force yourself and return. Especially Axel-san, though you have a large quantity of miraculous water in the transportation bag, your destination lies the farthest.」

「Yeah. roger that. I will keep in mind the remaining amount of the miraculous water.」

Even if I have a massive amount of water, I have no intention of getting conceited.

I’m planning to carefully ascertain the situation before making decisions.

「ーーKya.」

Michaela, who walked beside me, tripped and fell over.

「ーーAre you okay? Michaela-san?」

Though everything happened in an instant, I managed to catch Michaela, to which she smiled a bit embarrassed.

「Y-yes. ……Sorry for such an unsightly display. For me to struggle here, even though I’m the who is supposed to be more familiar with this terrain.」

「Well, the wind is pretty strong after all. It can’t be helped.」

In fact, other comrades also had trouble walking.

「Are you two okay?」

「Uuuh, Master, the sand is even finer than before, so my feet sink even worse.」

「The sandy terrain is different compared to the city. Though I should manage.」

The two of them reported while walking through sand.

Well, looks like they are going to be fine.

After making sure of that, I took Daisy out from the chest pocket and put her onto the ground.

「Oh, so you are going, my friend.」

「Yeah. Wait for us Daisy.」

「Sure. I’ll be waiting for your return!」

Waving her paws she then went towards Michaela.

Michaela bowed to us once and then said.

「This might be unfair to say this right before you head out, but…… The desert might be hard to traverse and won’t let you gain much speed, but please, do your best to save my colleague……」
