Chapter 66: The Rivers Would Overflow

The rivers would overflow each year as the snow melted. However, a pale sheet of thick ice would remain near the banks, and on the colder days, it would preserve the frozen shape of the turbulent flow. But with spring soon approaching, much of the ice had already made its way out.

As the horses stopped to drink from the riverbank, the passengers got down from the wagon and stretched out their stiff bodies, chatting up a storm.

“I see! You must stop by if you’re ever in the area. It would be my honor to host the Black-Haired Valkyrie!”

“Hmm... I’ll consider it.”

The noble son laughed and walked away. His household was a poorer one, but they did have their own territory. Rumors of Angeline receiving a medal from Archduke Estogal had spread, and it seemed other nobles now had an eye on her. In fact, several people had reached out to her over the course of the journey. Many of them had ulterior motives and were just trying to use her, but Angeline was accustomed to it already and handled them without issue. Her innate unsociability proved useful in the strangest places.

Now that Angeline was alone, Yakumo took a seat beside her. “Famous people sure are busy.”

“Not that I want to be...”

“You think so? You need more initiative. If you’re an adventurer, isn’t it natural to think of how to earn more, or how to raise your reputation?”

“Not interested...” Angeline said with a sigh, hugging one of her knees. Yakumo chuckled and took a swig from her gourd flask. Farther down the road, they could see Charlotte running around and Lucille sluggishly trailing behind her.

Over the past few days, Yakumo and Lucille had grown quite close to the group. Yakumo was easygoing and playful, and everyone would lend an ear to her tales from the east. At first, they were troubled by Lucille’s peculiar behavior, but now they just laughed it off—though Charlotte wasn’t so forgiving of it.

Wiping her mouth with her sleeve, Yakumo let her gaze wander. “I’m amazed you climbed up to S-Rank with so little ambition... Want a drink?”

“Hmm... Thanks.”

She accepted the gourd and took in a mouthful. It was delicious chilled white wine. Angeline took in a deep breath before returning it to her.

“Ms. Yakumo, that person you’re looking for... Are they important to you?”

“Not exactly. It’s just a job.”

“And your job brought you all the way up north... You have it rough.”

“Heh heh, I do, don’t I? It’s a more involved job than I had anticipated. There’s nothing harder to deal with than the human heart.”

Angeline paused for a moment. “What do you mean?”

“Ange, you’re feeling lost over something as well.”

Angeline’s heart skipped a beat and she found herself instinctively looking away.

Scratching her head, Yakumo went on, “I’m not criticizing you. We all get lost time and again—that’s just life for you. It’s not a bad thing to submerge yourself in one of those moments.”

“Did you have a time like that?”

“Of course I did.
