Chapter 15 (2/2)

Zephiroth, who suddenly appeared and threw a bomb at Hisran and Jaeha, quietly disappeared. Among the remaining two, the first to come to her senses was Jaeha.

“Is that the notice? Oh, is it because we can move to Viscount Koufen by magic? Why, isn’t there magic to disappear and appear in the desired place?”

“Teleportation magic? I can’t use that. If I could use that magic, I would shorten the period by more than half.”

“Why?”

It was weird. As the disappointment in Jaeha’s eyes grew younger, Hisran’s mood subsided. It was common sense for a wizard, so he’s been doing it without much thought for a while.

“It’s because teleportation magic is one of the most unstable magic. If you use magic without securing safe coordinates, your body could be amputated or mixed with nearby creatures. I have strong magical powers, so I know how I’ll be okay, but it’s almost impossible to move with you, who doesn’t know how to handle magic.”

“The free teleportation magic in the novel was literally fiction.”

She mumbled her words.

“Then, how do you plan to move? By horse or carriage?”

Aside from knowing how to wield the unusual power of magic through a short story told by him, she judged that the level of civilization in this world seemed to be between the Middle Ages and the Modern Age, so for Jaeha, that was the easiest means of transportation that comes to mind.

“Do you know how to ride a horse?”

“…Just looking?”

“It is difficult to travel long distances without riding very well. I guess I’ll have to stop by downtown Cherriety before leaving.”

He had to completely revise the plan he had made up until yesterday.

And so, Hisran and Jaeha left the secret space after having breakfast with a fresh mind.

“Hide.”

With a single word of Hisran’s starting words, the secret space was safely sealed.

Outwardly, it looked like an ordinary cliff bottom. He added that most people wouldn’t even know the existence of the space, and didn’t pass up even the slightest opportunity and pretend to be. It was only after she left the secret space that she realized that this place was deep in the mountains.

As she descended this mountain, immersed in the anguish of how long had it been, Hisran grabbed her hand and spoke.

“I will move.”

“Yes? Teleportation magic? You say it’s dangerous without safe coordinates?”

“There is one coordinate I have secured in downtown Cherriety. I come here often.”

He replied with a grin.

When she responded as if she was surprised but happy, he felt better, too.

His hands were white and fine for a man, but it was definitely bigger than Jaeha. His hand wrapped around hers.

Even though they had seen everything they had to see, holding hands felt strange. They didn’t even know if it was because both of them, who had been single, were not accustomed to the body temperature of others.

Hisran looked at Jaeha’s black hair softly, and she avoided his gaze while pretending to be looking at the ground.

As he said that his specialty was in fire magic, his gaze seemed to resemble a blazing fire…

Blink.

She only blinked a few times, but the place where Hisran and Jaeha were standing changed. It wasn’t as flashy as a secret space in the mountains, though a neat little room welcomed them.

“Where are we…?”

“A safe house. This is usually the way to secure safe coordinates unless it’s a branch of a magic tower, a nobleman’s mansion, or a remote area with few people. Purchasing a building or room in a suitable location and preventing others from entering.”

According to the laws of the world, money was needed for safe teleportation magic.

The two got out of Hisran’s small house and walked down the city.

Although Hisran was quite famous both at home and abroad, in one of the many provincial cities of the Empire, few knew his face. Those who would recognize him would be from among the people of the tower, or the government offices.

Even so, Hisran’s handsome looks and Jaeha’s exotic looks and clothes caught the attention of people on the street. In the end, the two decided to stop by a clothing store first.

Even though the underwear she was wearing were prototypes from the rabbit doll that resembled what Jaeha was wearing, but her casual clothes were all from Korea. Unlike underwear, outerwear had a complicated process.
