CH 248

It’s been ten days since we left to search for Yuta, and although we’ve been through a lot along the way, we’ve finally been able to meet up with the Iron Knights.

“Nagisa, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you. The right side of the hangar is empty, so take the ride hover there.”

A red magicraft of the Iron Knights came to pick me up and the rider was someone named Alana, I think. I followed her lead and entered the hangar of Fugaku, the ride carrier of the Iron Knights.

“It’s been a while.”

As soon as I entered the hangar, I went outside and greeted the people from the Iron Knights who welcomed me. There were about ten people who greeted me, and they seemed to be very welcoming.

“You’re here. We’ve all been waiting for you.”

Alana said with a smile.

“Nagisa! I heard that Nagisa can find Yuta! Let’s hurry up and go look for him!”

That’s what a girl of elementary school age said to me with great vigor. I think it was Nanami. She pulled on my arm and said that we should go look for Yuta right away.

“Nanami, don’t get your hopes up too high. Just because we’re childhood friends doesn’t mean I can do that.”

Linnecarlo, she is one of the Twelve Heavenly Masters. Since the last time I met her, she seemed to have a strong feeling towards me. I’m not sure what to make of it.

“Hey, you guys. Let’s leave the search for Yuta for tomorrow and let her rest today. She’s probably tired from the long trip.”

The one who said this out of concern for us was a man named Jean. I heard that he was the commander who led the Emou army in the last battle and played a very active role, but he is still a decent man.

“Thank you. Mr. Jean.”

“Don’t call me ” Mr”. I’ll call you Nagisa, so you can call me Jean too.”

“Yes. So, Jean. I’m sorry to interrupt, but how is the search for Yuta going?”

Even though I was going to take the day off, I was still curious about what was going on, so I asked.

“Don’t worry. I’m sure Yuta is still alive. We’ve been going over every branch of the current that Yuta could have been swallowed by. And finally, three days ago, we were able to find the cockpit of Arleo. Since Yuta’s body was not found there, he is definitely alive.”

I was relieved to hear that. I was so relieved that I felt my body relax.

“He’s probably hanging around somewhere in good spirits, but with no money or acquaintances, he might have a hard time getting around. There’s no country around here that has diplomatic relations with Amuria or Meltaria, so he’s probably just stuck in the middle of nowhere.”

I nodded deeply at Jean’s words.

“If he’s alive, I’m sure he’s doing well. Yuta can adapt to any environment.”

“Yeah, I think so too.”

Thank God……Yuta is absolutely safe. I was deeply relieved. I’m sure he’ll be fine.

“Are you also a magicraft rider?” Himari asked, looking at Nanami. She was probably interested to see a girl her age riding a magicraft.

“That’s right. Nanami’s machine is the golden magicraft over there.”

“Wow, that’s amazing! You’re almost as old as me. Can you show me the inside of the machine?”

“Sure. I’ll show you. Come with me, Farma.”

“Yes.”

Nanami invited the beastly girl to join her, and the three of them made their way over to the golden magicraft.

“Himari! Don’t bother them!”

Yukiha warned her sister about her selfish behavior. However, Alana stilled it.

“I don’t mind. It’s normal for children to get along with each other.”

“I’m sorry…….I hope she won’t break anything.”

“If they break it, we have excellent mechanics who can fix it right away. How about a drink? I’ve got some good liquor upstairs.”

Yukiha happily agreed to Alana’s invitation. I think Ranelle told me before that Yukiha doesn’t have a very good drinking habit…….I was more worried about Yukiha drinking alcohol than Himari playing with other children.
