Chapter 3: Returning Home

In a city to the east of the Beltrum Kingdom, two women entered an inn just as the sun began to set. It was Celia and Aria.

Being the hour that it was, many of the nearby inns were fully occupied. They had to go around several places before they were fortunate enough to find a room.

“Thankfully we found a room,” Celia said once they entered, sighing tiredly as she sat down on the bed.

“Indeed. You’ve worked hard carrying us such a long distance.”

“You must be tired too.”

Aria shook her head. “All I did was hold on to you.”

“But I’m sure it wasn’t the most comfortable journey having to be carried—having to hold on—the whole way... We were moving pretty fast too.”

In the end, Aria had held on to Celia the entire way from Amande while they flew. Celia tilted her head, struggling to find the right words to describe how they moved, but—

“It was fine. Your body was perfectly comfortable to hold on to,” Aria giggled.

“G-Geez! Don’t make fun of me!”

Celia ducked her head, blushing.

“I’m not making fun of you. That aside, we did travel at a considerable speed. What was even more impressive was how little air resistance there was...”

When an object traveled through the air, it collided with the air it was traveling against. This caused a force opposite to the direction of travel, also known as air resistance.

“It seems my wings of light create a wind barrier around the caster, neutralizing the force of air resistance. Although I’m not sure how much speed it can withstand...”

Celia herself was yet to fully understand how Alis Luminis worked herself. But Rio had said something about using a barrier to reduce air resistance when flying with spirit arts, so she figured this magic did something similar.

“Does that mean you can increase your speed even further?”

“Yes, although it depends on my magic essence. But the faster I try to go, the less efficient my essence consumption is, so it’s not optimal for traveling long distances.”

Rio was able to fly faster and for longer without taking breaks, but that was because Rio had a ridiculous amount of essence.

“I see... At this rate, we’ll be able to reach Cleia tomorrow morning. Will your magic essence last until then?”

“Yup. I have the essence crystals Liselotte gave me as well. I’ll rest up tonight, and whatever I don’t recover I’ll refill from the crystals.”

While it varied from person to person, it was generally said that thirty percent of one’s magic essence could be recovered by sleeping overnight. Recovery speed fell while awake, so the most effective way of recovering lost essence was to sleep well.

“Got it. If we run low on essence crystals, I can hunt monsters for their enchanted gems, so just say the word.”

“Thank you. But I’ll be okay for now. You rest up too..”

“Understood,” Aria said.

Meanwhile, while Celia and Aria were checking into the inn...

Elsewhere, at the capital of the Claire territory in the Beltrum Kingdom, Cleia. Sneaking around outside the Count’s estate grounds were a few mercenaries.
