「……alright, let’s go for a walk this afternoon.」

「A walk!」

「Yeah, maybe you can take me to the place you know.」

「Yeah, but…..Adel-san is….」

「Ah, right.」

Riito turns his eyes to the road that connects Togen Village to the Guild Autonomous Region.

It should be about time.

The horizon opens to the north and beyond it, a glittering dragon carriage runs with earth’s smoke. In the saddle is a beautiful female knight.

「Riito-samaaaaa～～～～!」

「Adel-san!」

「I just received the messenger owl with a letter saying you’re on your way.」

The owl is a messenger that detects human magic and carries letters.

He doesn’t know how widespread it is in the Guild Autonomous Region but the postal guild seems to have some. He guessed that at the very least, the messenger owl is not widely used by the general public.

「Riito-sama, Adel le Romancia is here!」

「Hey, the owl arrived last night so I thought it would take you a little more time.」

「We drove the dragon carriage all night long!」

「It would take a week to get from the imperial capital to Togen Village even if you use the express dragon carriage.」

The time and date in the signature on the letter suggest that she really traveled nonstop to get there.

「Here are the documents about the world tree.」

「So much….」

The document handed over by Adel was a bundle of papers that would require Riito two hands to lift or else, he might drop them.

The princess is really powerful.

Riito was deeply impressed.

「Thank you. I’ll look through it tonight.」

「Oya, are you busy?」

「Ah, I thought I’d go to the pond you found last time but I guess you’ll need to rest so let’s do it tomorrow.」

As expected, he will not force the princess who came here without sleeping or resting.

「Unnecessary, let’s go there now.」

「Eh? Are you alright?」

「Frau is worried too desu! If you don’t sleep a lot, you will wither!」

Frau looks really worried.

The life cycle of the flowerkins is basically the same as that of plants. They get up when the sun rises and go to sleep at sunset. If they fail to do so, the flowers growing on their heads will wilt and die.
