Chapter 5: Chance Encounter

The next morning, Rio and the others moved out of the stone house they had been living in and departed for Count Claire’s territory in the eastern end of the Beltrum Kingdom.

Rio, Aishia, and Orphia flew with their wind spirit arts while Celia, Miharu, Latifa, Sara, and Alma rode on the back of Orphia’s contract spirit, the giant eagle Ariel. By traveling like this, they made it to Count Claire’s domain before sundown.

The capital of the domain they had once visited before was called Cleia, where Celia’s family home was naturally located. The plan that had been decided with Celia was to descend in the forest near the city and set up the stone house as their base, then wait for nightfall before slipping through the darkness and sneaking into the estate grounds like before.

Roughly half an hour after entering the domain, the capital city could be spotted in the far distance, but—

“Haruto.” Aishia suddenly called Rio’s name.

“I know. Everyone, there’s still a little distance until the city, but we’re going to descend into the forest below us now,” Rio immediately directed.

“W-What’s wrong?” Celia asked, worried about the sudden descent.

Sara had a solid grasp of the situation, so she explained the reason to Celia. “There’s something flying near the city. We’ll be discovered if we approach like this, so we’re going to descend.”

“Is it an enchanted ship or something?”

“No, it’s probably some kind of creature. I saw a person on its back, so it was probably a griffon...”

“...Was it one of the griffons being kept at my house?” Celia wondered with a tilt of her head. While she did so, the party landed in the forest. They were surrounded by densely-growing trees, so it wasn’t likely that the person riding the griffon above would notice them.

“I’d like to see what’s going on, so can everyone set up the stone house and wait here? I might get lost on the way back, so Aishia should stay here, too. Professor Celia can come with me, since she probably knows the city well,” Rio said, giving his instructions briskly.

“Sure, but won’t we be spotted if we fly?”

“That’s why we’ll be running through the forest.”

“Umm, I can use the enchantment for physical ability, but I won’t be able to keep up with you...”

Celia was a typical non-athletic person. As a well-rounded sorcerer she could use all kinds of magic, but even with her physical abilities enhanced, she couldn’t keep up with Rio’s inhuman spirit art enhancements.

But the bigger problem was the fact that the brain couldn’t keep up with the physical boost of the magic. Just enhancing the physical ability wasn’t enough—the athletic senses to control the enhanced body’s movements was also necessary. Celia was completely lacking in that quality. Running in a forest with such unstable footing was out of the question. However—

“It’s okay. I’ll carry you and run. It’ll be shakier than flying through the sky, though.” Problem solved.

“G-Got it.” Hearing that she would be carried by Rio made a faint blush appear on Celia’s cheeks.
