15. Onward, to Castle Bloodrain! Part 2

“Achoo!” I sneezed.

“Are you all right, Lady Mary? If you’re cold, I can get you out a coat,” Tutte asked me in concern.

“No, I’m fine. I bet someone’s gossiping about me,” I said, bringing up the old cliché.

“Is that how it works? I’m surprised you know about it then.” Tutte took my words seriously and looked impressed.

I guess jokes like that don’t exist in this world... I should watch what I say.

“Shouldn’t we take a break though, Lady Mary? The divine beast must be tired after being on the move all morning,” Instructor Alice suggested as we approached the entrance to the gorge.

This was reasonable, so I decided to let Snow rest. At Instructor Alice’s suggestion, we landed in a forest in the gorge.

“Ugghhh, I’m tired... I’m gonna snooze for a bit...”

Snow lay languidly and rested her chin on the ground.

“Thanks for carrying us all the way here, Snow. Does flying tire you out?” I asked, patting her head encouragingly.

“I mean, if I have to fly for this long... You call it flying, but it’s more like running on air for me, so it does consume my stamina and mana.”

“Really? Ah, if you need mana, I can give you some using magic, like that one time,” I said, referencing the time we saved Lily by sharing my mana.

“That places a lot of strain on the caster, so it should probably only be used in emergencies. It’d break my heart if something happened to you.”

“Snow...” I scratched her behind the ears thankfully, grateful for her caring about me even when she was exhausted.

“But I guess in your case you have monstrous amounts of mana, so there’s no need to worry. A better reason not to is that if I let you do it, you’ll just replenish my mana all the time and use me as your pack mule. I think I’ll pass.”

The divine beast nonchalantly ruined the touching moment.

“Oho ho, well, when you put it that way, I say we replenish your mana so you can get back to work,” I said with an icy smile and sidled over to her.

“Ack, put my paw in my mouth there, didn’t I?” Snow cowered and slipped away from me. “I guess I just let my thoughts reach you without any filter... No one being able to hear you for years will do that to a divine beast.”

“Um, Lady Mary... How long are you going to keep me strung up like this?” Instructor Alice, still wrapped up like a cocoon, asked apologetically as I chased Snow around.

“I mean, we can’t untie you. Who knows what you’ll do?” I said thoughtlessly.

“How could you say something so mean?!”

Oops, I took a page out of Snow’s book and said my thoughts aloud. Gotta be careful!

Feeling some remorse, I untied Instructor Alice. She spent a while sitting away from us, dejected. In the meanwhile, I rested with Snow while eating the meal Tutte prepared for us.

“I’m impressed, Tutte. When did you learn
