I’d run as far as I could. Deciding this made me feel very much at ease.

Of course, I wouldn’t go by myself; outside the capital, there was the possibility of being assailed by monsters and phantoms. I heard it wasn’t too dangerous as long as you stuck to the roads, but getting attacked wasn’t something I wanted to risk at all. I had already been attacked multiple times in the past.

Finding protection before going out had just about become second nature to me. If I was strong or capable of flying or something then things might be different, but my low mana prevented me from going far with Night Hiker, and that Relic could only be used at night.

I began preparing to leave town. I left my office and was walking down the stairs when I ran into Liz. She was looking like a hearty hunter, as she always did. When she saw me, a smile blossomed on her face and she approached me.

“Good timing, Krai Baby! There’s something I want your advice on...”

I’m happy to offer advice, but this won’t take long, will it?

I didn’t have much time. My first priority was getting away before my worries increased any further. The more I hurried, the more legitimacy was lent to my excuse for declining the Gathering of White Blades. It was a battle against time. I had to get out before Arnold lost all inhibition and came after me.

I wrapped an arm around Liz’s shoulders and spoke like we were discussing something clandestine.

“The advice can wait. Liz, do you have any plans for the immediate future?”

“Huh? Mmm, not really. Is something up?”

This was the answer I had expected. Liz wasn’t likely to turn down an invitation from me. I ditched the formalities and cut straight to the chase.

“I’m leaving the capital. Come with me.”

Liz looked at me with shock and then wrapped an arm around my waist. Her face was close to mine and I could detect a faintly sweet aroma. Her moist lips opened faintly and she spoke in a whispering tone.

“Veeery well. What’s our objective?”

Our objective? To flee? To escape? To make a tactical retreat? Well, all of those are correct, but...

That’s it.

After mulling it over, I began to smile.

“A vacation, I guess,” I said. “Ah, but keep it a secret, okay?”

Liz’s eyes sparkled and she wrapped her arms around me as though she was keeping all her excitement contained in that one movement. As always, her skin felt almost like it was on fire.

“That’s perfect!” she said. “How many people are we gonna do in? Who else is coming? Just me? When do we leave? It feels like a million years since you left the capital with me!”

We’re not gonna kill anyone. And that’s too many questions.

Having Liz onboard was reassuring, but I figured the more protection I had, the better. I was leaving the capital, after all.

That’s it. Why not make it a clan trip?

If I declined all those invitations, I couldn’t bring the administrative staff along, but I thought it might be fun to bring all the hunters.
