Chapter 9 – The Story of a Bomb

* * *

It was a forest with many tall, thin trees.

I was flying on my broom over a meandering path that looked like it had been made to follow the chance gaps occurring between trees. The leaves that had fallen on the ground writhed and made a rustling sound.

The climate is cool, and the wind is gentle. Really, this is a great feeling.

Taking a nap in a place like this would probably feel really good.

“………”

After continuing to travel through the forest for a while, I saw a horse-drawn wagon. The wagon was entirely devoid of any luggage, and deplorably, it was stopped right in the middle of the road and blocking the way.

I could only see the back of the wagon from my position, and hence I wasn’t able to see the driver. Is he taking a carefree nap? Or is he trying to say that he won’t allow anyone to pass beyond this point?

“……Ei.”

I inclined my broom upwards a little as I had no other choice. The broom that had been flying close to the ground gradually floated upwards.

Obstacles must be overcome, after all.

When I was above the wagon, I looked downwards. What I saw there was the roof of the wagon, a horse eating grass—-and a man who was collapsed beside the wagon.

I immediately understood why the wagon was stopped in the middle of the road.

The driver was not slacking off and taking a nap, nor was he blocking my path on purpose.

“………”

The man was covered in blood and wounds. He was collapsed limply beside the wagon.

Just what happened here?

I had no idea what the circumstances were, but it was clear that the driver’s life was in danger. I felt that flying off and leaving him in this state would be far too cold hearted, so I landed my broom, pulled out my staff, and healed his wounds with magic.

A warm, white haze wrapped around him and erased the bloody wounds and bruises that covered his body.

He looked quite young, but he was still older than me. I’d guess he was somewhere in his mid twenties. His unkempt black hair looked dull as it was covered in dust.

“……Ugh.”

Just as the wounds on his body finished fading from sight, he opened his eyes.

He stared blankly at the canopy of the forest, and eventually he spotted me.

“Are you okay?”

I spoke to him while standing over him.

“……”

I didn’t receive an answer.

“Umm… Are you okay?”

I tried waving my hand in front of his eyes.

“……”

He blinked rapidly, opened and closed his mouth a few times, and finally moved his body.

“E-Excuse me…! I’m not sure who you are, but do you know how long I’ve been lying here?”

Perhaps he’s not completely awake yet? He seemed a little hysteric as he asked that question.

“I just happened to find you as I was traveling, so I have no idea—but it was probably not a very long time.”

The blood from his wounds hadn’t finished drying, after all.

“T-Thank goodness! In that case, I can still make it on time…! Umm, I’m not sure who you are—”

“Elaina.
