The message from guild headquarters said that it would be sending a suppression team out of Tris in the late evening. Traveling over evening wasn’t usually recommended, but such was the nature of the emergency that there were simply no other options.

Shiori and Alec thus decided that they had to get back to Tris as soon as possible, and rest up as much as they could before departure. The distance wouldn’t usually have been an issue, but now that they were aware of how dire the situation was, even the ten shilometers from where they were to Tris felt frustratingly long. And while one option was to rent a horse or carriage from a nearby village, searching for one might only make the journey longer.

“Given the situation, and the fact that there were likely other adventurers nearby, there might not even be any horses left to rent,” said Alec.

His words proved clairvoyant. The first village they arrived at had just loaned its horses out, and to adventurers from the Tris branch of the Guild, no less. After asking about their appearances, Shiori and Alec surmised that it had been the Lanellieds.

“Just as I thought,” said Alec. “I think we’re better off just walking instead of wasting time searching for quicker transportation.”

“I agree. And besides, I’m not all that good on a horse by myself. What a pain. To think we could make the distance in just twenty minutes if we had a car!”

There was no use complaining about what didn’t exist, but Shiori couldn’t help herself.

“Twenty minutes?!” exclaimed Alec. “That’s incredible. Transport in your world moves that fast?”

“Yes. You could make the distance from Brovito to Tris in about an hour.”

“I can scarcely imagine it. I hope we end up with something similar here some day, but right now it sounds like a dream within a dream. Huh? What is it, Vio?”

The snow wolf was nudging Alec in the back with his nose, and the message in his eyes was all too clear.

“Enough with jibber-jabber! Hop on and let’s go.”

Alec hesitated, but Vio wasn’t going to take no for an answer. The snow wolf’s mind was made up.

“All right, if you insist. But don’t push yourself too hard. Like I said before, I’m pretty heavy.”

The snow wolf woofed happily, howled, then lowered its body.

“On you get.”

“Shiori, after you.”

“Erm, okay.”

With Alec’s help, Shiori hopped onto the snow wolf’s back. Alec told her to hold her knapsack in her lap, which she did. He then leapt on behind her and wrapped her securely in his powerful arms.

“I’ve got you,” he said. “You just hold on to Vio’s mane.”

“Okay, got it.”

Vio let her know where to hold, and Shiori gripped the hair near the roots. The two slimes then crawled up and wrapped themselves around the wolf’s body.

“We’re ready when you are,” said Alec. “You don’t have to run, okay?”

Vio barked his response and took off at a brisk trot. It wasn’t a full-blown sprint by any means, but still much faster than the adventurers could have managed on foot.
