The surrounding area had already begun to grow dim when Zenos got out of his carriage. Under the twinkle of the first star dotting the evening sky, he stretched to ease the stiffness that had built up in his body over the many hours of travel. Feeling nature’s embrace throughout one’s entire form like this was part of the thrill of adventu—

“Wait a second,” Zenos snapped. “Roaaa!!!”

Before Zenos realized it, the Kumil girl was gone from his side, having rushed to the Silver Wolf the moment she saw the swordmaiden step out of the carriage at the front of the caravan. He enhanced his leg strength and managed to catch up to her before she made it to Aska.

“Cut it out, Roa!” he admonished her.

“Let me go, doctor!” Roa pleaded, but the healer kept a firm grip on the struggling girl’s collar.

A little ahead, the Silver Wolf turned to look at them. “Why are you two here...? Wait, don’t tell me you’re actually Zenos...”

“Yeah, sorry,” the healer admitted, scratching his head. He pulled the special summons from his pack. “I am Zenos. But I didn’t mean to join the expedition, really. I’ll do my best to keep this girl from getting in your way, yeah?”

Aska stood silently for a moment before speaking again, her expression blank as ever, making it hard to read her thoughts. “I see... So you’re the one Lord Baycladd was looking for. That’s quite the coincidence.”

“I’ve always had a knack for getting myself into trouble,” Zenos muttered. “Anyway, Roa, let’s go.”

“Nooo! Please make me your apprentiiice!” Roa whined stubbornly as Zenos dragged her away.

In a tree-lined clearing, Zenos gathered branches for firewood as he spoke. “Why are you so obsessed with the Silver Wolf?”

“She’s the current Sword Saint, right?” Roa asked. “I told you, I’m the daughter of the previous Sword Saint! Are you calling me a liar too, doctor?”

“No, I don’t think you’re lying,” Zenos replied without missing a beat, making Roa’s green eyes widen in surprise.

He finished gathering a number of suitable-looking branches and snapped them. Fresh wood contained too much moisture to be good for burning, so he wanted to check how dry the branches were.

“I want to trust my students,” he continued. “And you wouldn’t be doing all this if you were lying. But you know, since I’m already neck deep into this, you could at least tell me a bit more.”

Roa looked down and clenched her fists tightly. “I’ve never met my father. But my mom told me he was the Sword Saint.”

“You heard it from your mother?”

“She wouldn’t lie about that!” Roa said, raising her voice. “The Kumil tribe lives in mountain villages. My mom said that my father was an adventurer known as the Thunder God. He stayed in our village for a while, and that was when he and my mom got close. But one day, he just disappeared and never came back... When I was born, he was already gone. I don’t really know all the details.”

She leaned against the trunk of a tree, folding her arms behind her back, and her voice grew quieter.
