The next morning, early.

We were on the terrace of Karin's office building just as the sun was beginning to shine.

Taura and Her Highness Lily were ready for their trip in the crisp early morning air.

I was dressed as usual with my backpack.

Even though it was early in the morning, there were quite a few residents who came to see us off at the square that we could see from the terrace.

Every now and then my name is called out from under the terrace, and they cheer. I smile and wave in response, trying to fight off the drowsiness.

Taura, who stands behind me like a knight guarding me, is also called from time to time.

There is no particular cheer for Her Highness Lily.

No, Zoroar and Squirrelmist, His Highness's attendants at the front of the plaza, try to cheer for him, but His Highness gives them a glare.

─ ─ Well, if His Highness Lily's attendants were to call out to her here, she would be embarrassed, wouldn't she? It's like they're obviously trying to trick her.

While I was thinking about this, I saw Karin approaching the entrance of the terrace.

She is surrounded by her staff.

Kalene is yawning loudly, taking advantage of the fact that Her Highness Lily's eyes are on the plaza. She is yawning, taking advantage of the fact that Her Highness Lily's eyes are looking at the plaza.

Two staff members are struggling with their sleeping habits.

You overslept, Karin.

In no time at all, her sleeping habit is gone, and she looks crisp and clean. Her cloak is tied around her shoulders by one of the staff, and she walks out onto the terrace.

The residents who have gathered here shout even louder.

First of all, Kaline bows to Her Highness Princess Lily.

She is not popular, but her position is respectful.

Then, she walks up to the end of the terrace, towards the residents, and starts to make a speech.

I listened in a daze.

Her usual skillful way of speaking. Listening to her, even I was under the illusion that the success of the three of us was guaranteed and that it was a great honor to be present at the first step of the great work that was about to be done.

It is safe to say that this time we do not need to speak.

As we were told at last night's meeting, we will just call Sailuke on Kalin's signal.

And that's the signal. Sailuke! Come here!

I call out to Sailuke through my bond.

"Come, let us all witness the departure of the heroes and the opening of the legend."

Kalin declares so loudly and points to the sky. Just at that moment, Sailuke, which had been circling in the sky above, comes swooping down.

Sailuke spreads its wings wide just in front of the plaza, stops softly, and lands with its back to the terrace.

The residents are in a stir.

Sailuke seems to be not too happy about it. The bond between them is palpable.

Taura and Her Highness Lily, who can move, climb over the terrace and jump onto Sailuke's back.

They like to show off, don't they?

Sailorque turns his head to the terrace and pulls his face close to hers.

I let my foot rest on the edge of his open mouth and grab his head to carry him to my back.

Kalene pulls out her favorite sword, made of pitch-black meteoric iron, and holds it up.

The unarmed people respond with cheers.

And so, with everyone looking on, the Sailuke took off, carrying us with it.
