Early the next morning, the two humans and two slimes took the earliest charter carriage available. Brovito was within walking distance, but given how desperate the village was with the summer solstice looming, Shiori and Alec opted for the faster route.

The roads to Brovito were mostly flat, and there wasn’t much in the way of steep inclines. The total distance was about forty-five shilometers. On foot, it was necessary to camp somewhere along the way, but by carriage the journey took just four hours.

“All things going well, we’ll arrive a little before noon,” said Alec. “Let’s just take it easy while we can.”

The charter carriages were always busy, but the earliest of them was fairly bereft of passengers. It would pick up more people as it stopped at the various stations along the way, but until then they could stretch out and relax, just like all the other passengers were doing.

“Did you two already get in touch with your friends?” asked Shiori.

Rurii and Bla, both trembling with excitement, wobbled in the affirmative, their ability to communicate over long distances having made such a thing all too easy.

“Of course!”

The carriage then departed, pulled along by two white horses with more than four legs, known as sleipnirs. The two slimes happily stuck themselves to the windows. Having spoken with the horses before departure, the slimes had learned the best sights to catch on the way to their destination, and occasionally wobbled around excitedly.

“Oh, if you look closely you’ll see that one has wings,” remarked Alec.

The wings were difficult to notice, as they were folded and essentially part of the mane, but it was true: one of the horses had a set of small wings on its back. They did not look nearly powerful enough to provide flight, and seemed more decorative than anything else, but they gave the horse a little extra flair.

“Judging by those wings, it’s safe to say that the horse has some griffin blood somewhere in its past. They may look iron-willed and resolute, but griffins get around, if you know what I mean. They’re not picky.”

“They get around?”

“Let’s just say they’re open to new experiences. If a griffin sees a mare, it’ll try its luck. So much so that almost all the horses kept near griffin territory are said to have some griffin in them. What’s more, as far as griffins go, any female is fair game, regardless of the species. I’ve even seen one trying to get things going with a cockatrice. Their love for ladies knows no bounds; it’s impressive.”

“Oh my...”

Griffins were beautiful and brave, and symbols of power and mystique. It was why they were so common on coats of arms. Now that she knew that the beast had this other side to it, Shiori could do little more than cast her eyes awkwardly out the window, her former impression of the creature dashed entirely.

When the carriage passed from one side of the city walls to the other, the hustle and bustle of their life
