In the end, we didn’t return to the inn until very late. I was so tired, I fell asleep the moment my head touched the pillow, and slept until morning without even dreaming.

And when the sun rose the next morning, I found myself back on the horse again.

“You sleepy, little lady?”

I was used to getting up early, but between the unfamiliar work of riding and the late night, it was a struggle to wake up. I’d tried to hide my yawns, but Sir Gaius noticed anyway.

“All right then, I’ll support you, so go ahead and nap on the road.”

“That’s impossible!” How could anyone sleep with the horse jolting them about like that? Waving off Sir Gaius’s ridiculous suggestion, I straightened. “So, if the Sacred Maiden passed through Tello seven days ago, does that mean they’ll be reaching the Cristallo Sacro about now?” I asked.

“I doubt that,” Sir Gaius said. “They were near Tello when they sent the soldiers and attendants back, you see.”

“Eh? But...we only left Arldat a day ago...”

“It’s a four-day journey to get here by the main roads. We got here so quickly by taking the back roads,” Sir Gaius explained.

Oh. Come to think of it, when we’d been riding, we’d taken paths that barely counted as roads. Cutting across fields and such.

“You can get to the Cristallo Sacro in seven days by taking the back roads, but the expedition is taking the main roads, and they’re resting as they go. I’d say it’ll take them...about twenty days to get there, maybe?”

“Is it safe to go so slowly?” I asked, cocking my head to the side. After all, outside city walls, you might encounter monsters.

“Who knows what they’re thinking. Although it sounds like they’re stopping in towns to avoid the monsters.” Sir Gaius twirled the long hairs of his beard, then shook his head. “Well, if they’re taking it easy, that means we can catch up that much faster. Now, hang on and keep your mouth closed. If you’re not going to sleep either way, then we might as well ride hard!”

Wait, I almost managed to yelp, but the horse picked up its speed first.

Oh, I hoped we caught up with the Sacred Maiden soon! I didn’t know how long I could survive this!
