“Lady Miu, are you all right?” asked Chou Hakurei’s attendant, Asaka. She had Yui the black cat wrapped around her shoulders.

“I’m fine,” I—the aforementioned Lady Miu—managed to reply in between panting, wiping the sweat from my brow with the purple sleeve of the ethnic garb that had been lent to me by the people of the western regions. It was quite easy to move in these robes and the material was so breathable that even with a jacket on, I could actually feel the wind passing through the fabric, though since I’d been the one to reject preferential treatment on this journey, I didn’t dare voice any complaints about that. Mei was undoubtedly doing her best to act as my body double at that same moment in time, so I felt I had to do my part too.

Asaka’s worried expression as she looked down at me gave way to a relieved smile. She glanced over at the Chou soldiers who were guarding the single-wheeled trolley carts full of supplies. “In that case, let’s keep moving. We still have a long way to go.”

“Yes, ma’am!” the soldiers responded.

The march continued up the steep mountain path, with the hunters up front leading us through the mountains, and the soldiers under Sekiei and Hakurei’s command close behind. They cut down any foliage that blocked their path as they went, yet they still managed to move at quite a pace. I had to hurry too!

“The U army will defend Youkaku, while the Chou army will head north from Butoku to reclaim Keiyou,” Ruri—the person who had come up with this strategy—had announced with utmost confidence.

However, this journey was proving to be a lot more treacherous than I’d initially thought. Over the past month, we had charted a simple path that would take us through the mountains, with hunters who had previously entered the Kozan range agreeing to serve as our guides, though they refused to go all the way to the other side. The approximately one thousand soldiers that made up the Chou army were all well-trained, but even with their wealth of experience, the support of the hunters, and the prior planning we’d put in, the feat we were attempting to accomplish was still practically impossible. Yet Ei’s situation was so perilous, we had no choice but to give it a go.

If we could make it through the Kozan range, we would find ourselves in the territory the Chou family had once ruled over back when Chou Tairan was still alive. Keiyou and
