He was still pondering something, but I pulled his hand away and went to find Alena while explaining the situation.
“What the hell!”
“Just pondering about it won’t solve the problem! Now, you help me out!”
“The hell,man!? Nah, there’s no way you could know what I’m thinking ……”
“You’ve been thinking about what that devil said the whole time, haven’t you? I know because I’m in the same boat!”
Houen immediately seemed to understand that I had a clue what was going on, and he spread his flame wings and flew away.
“Do you know where Alena is?!”
“I’m going to find her now! We’ll leave Reizen behind.”
“You’re leaving that stupid Tank behind?”
“We don’t have much time! We’ve got to hurry! And you don’t want to go to the castle, do you?”
“Yea!”
After saying that, Houen flew into the sky.
But I haven’t finished explaining yet.
I used infinite water manipulation to entangle the water around Houen’s legs and knock him to the ground.
Since he was flying low, the damage shouldn’t be significant yet.
“What the hell are you doing!”
“I ain’t done talking yet! I’m going to go to Roze’s first and get the flying dragon ready! Take Alena and come to Roze’s dragon hut!”
“The place is …… near the city walls, I believe! I understand!”
After saying that, this time Houen flew away.
Okay, before I’m going back …… and see if there is anything else I need?
I can create a recovery potion by myself.
I don’t know how long the journey will be with the flying dragon, but as soon as we arrive, I’ll send that guy home.
He’s been tamed, and he’ll make it back to where he came from.
At least I’ll have to ask her about that. ……
Oh, we should at least get some meat for Lacc.
I think we have plenty for all of us.
I don’t know how fast that guy flies, but …….
Should we bring enough food for four days?
Okay, the preparation for the trip is done!!
Food is important!
I can make the water, and I’ll leave the flames to the Houen, and we’ll be fine.
Now let’s go!
◆
“Roze! Is everything ready?”
“Of course it isn’t ready yet!!!”
I opened the door with a bang and went inside, but she was in the process of putting a new saddle on Ricc. (It should be Lacc?)
I don’t know why, but Lacc is looking somber, like a sinner awaiting public execution.
Dunno why tho. (Yes, Ouren said a same thing again in these 2 lines)
I looked over to the side and saw two mounted dragons staring at me with intense eyes.
Apparently, they were incredibly jealous that I was going somewhere without them.
What’s with Lacc recently?
Mostly since I’ve been here. ……
Sorry …… I’ll give you a good meal along the way, just bear with me. ……
“Nii-chan. Why did you suddenly choose Lacc?”
“You see, I’ve got some serious business to attend to. It would take me a week or so to get there by horse-drawn carriage. But this one can get there in no time, can’t it?”
“At that distance, Lacc can make it in two days. Rose says it’s a good idea, and you know I won’t stop you, but can you handle it?”
“I’ll manage, somehow.”
“Eh-“
I don’t have time to practice.
That’s quite a big deal.
Besides, with the way this guy is now, he’ll be able to get there without shaking me off.
At least there would be no problem.
I bought some food, maybe a little too much if we can make it in two days, but I’ll give the rest to Lacc.
It was a reward for carrying us.
“Roze. Would Lacc come back here on its own if he was instructed to?”
“Hmm, I’m not really sure. …… I don’t know, I’ve never done it before. So it would be great if you could come back together if you could.”
