Chapter 1623: Lost High Elf ④
<Author’s Notes>
I’ve been working overnight due to a sudden change in work duties, so today’s chapter is short.
After chatting with Fors-san at the cafe, we went outside again and moved towards the Teleportation Gate. Since using my Teleportation Magic Tool doesn’t seem to be an option for us, we have to move on foot, but it isn’t really that far from here, so going there will not take much time.
[I mean, aren’t you even gonna contact Laguna-san?]
[Ahh, I suppose you’re right. Guess I’ll send out a hummingbird……? Fumu, something like this?]
[What did you write?]
As I watched the hummingbird soar upwards into the sky, I asked Fors-san, to which she casually replied. 𝒩𝔬𝑣𝑒𝗅𝗇𝓮xt.𝑪𝓞𝑚
[I told her the situation as it is. That I left home with the intention of heading to Laguna’s place beforehand, and currently, I’m in Symphonia Kingdom’s Royal Capital, where I will be using the Teleportation Gate to head towards Hydra.]
[That really was what happened…… but I think Laguna-san will tilt her head in wonder when she sees your hummingbird.]
When going from Rigforeshia to Hydra Kingdom, there should be no need to go through Symphonia Kingdom’s Royal Capital. Even if one travels through teleportation or by sea on a ship…… One would only arrive in the Royal Capital if they took a detour on land and deviated from their path, taking a considerably longer route.
Well, Laguna-san has known Fors-san for a long time, so she probably guessed that she was lost.
As I had such a thought in mind, a hummingbird came flying in. As it had arrived quickly, I guess Laguna-san must have responded in a hurry.
“Where are you!? Write down your location and don’t move a step from that spot!!!”
It’s a short sentence, yet it conveys a remarkable amount of intensity within it. I can strongly feel the struggles she usually experiences with Fors-san’s lack of sense of direction.
In any case, so that Laguna-san wouldn’t worry, I sent out a hummingbird stating that I’m with Fors-san.
A little later, I received a hummingbird addressed to me.
“I see, apologies for the troubles, Kaito…… I advise you to keep an eye on her…… If it’s possible, you should tie a cord or something around her. Better yet, if you have one, you should have her wear a collar and keep her on a leash.”
Well, that’s quite something she wrote there. I can only wonder just how much she’s been through…… As I involuntarily chuckled at such a thought, I shifted my gaze…… and noticed that Fors-san, who was supposed to be right beside me just a moment ago, had disappeared.
Huh? Eh? She suddenly disappeared!?
When I looked around in a panic, I saw her peering with interest at a stall a short distance away.
[Hohou, this looks like something I could use for research. Unusual things really can be found once I leave Rigforeshia, which excites my curiosity. While I’m here, I might as well buy several research materials. Come to think of it, there are some interesting stalls over there too……]
……Unnn. It seems like I seriously shouldn’t take my eyes off this person.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [She’s the type who erases everything out of her thoughts the moment she sees something that involves her research huh……]
