"Haha...this is the first time I feel that traveling by boat is such a tiring thing..."
After the boat stopped, Yuri lay on the railing with a worn-out look and sighed.
The port city "Haruzion" is where they are currently anchored.
After a day of sailing, we finally returned to land safely.
"Haha, I think if you could have said less, you wouldn't have suffered."
After jumping off the sailboat and tying knots on the pilings in the harbor, Warlord couldn't help but joke.
"Who makes that little witch look so stinky? Isn't it just because she knows some magic?!"
Yuri bared his teeth in anger, and now that he thought about it, Yuri still felt his eyes hurt.
If he didn't know magic, how could he be so restrained everywhere.
If you don't know magic!
Staring at the brown-haired girl sitting in a wheelchair accompanying the curious baby Mavis, Yuri felt filled with resentment again.
Zella, who seemed to have noticed something, glanced back, only to see a half-exposure of golden hair.
It seems that the previous own incident has left a big shadow on Yuri. This guy is just being unforgiving.
Warlord, who spread his hands and witnessed this scene, said that this person really didn't accept the lesson at all.
"call……"
Yuri sat down against the plank of the ship, feeling that he had escaped unscathed, and looked at his other companion who had been leaning aside with deep thoughts.
"What's wrong, Precht?"
"...Is it really okay to just take people of unknown origin out of that island?"
Walking to Yuri's side, Precht obviously wanted to think more.
The palpitations he felt on the island before were still lingering in his heart. Although he was forced to take them on board due to the situation,...
"It's about the thing you mentioned..."
Recalling what they discussed after they boarded the ship, although Yuri was a little more straightforward, he still had basic judgment skills.
The girl who controls fire, and the demon who is rumored to be able to control fire, if there is no connection between the two, probably no one would believe it.
But after contacting him, Yuri had a different view.
"There's no point worrying about this or that now."
Yuri got up and patted his pants. He leaned against the railing of the boat and looked at the sky calmly.
"And I think that rumor is probably exaggerated by others."
Based on the methods commonly used by the little adult witch with a bad personality, and Mavis who can use illusions, the rumors of the devil are probably created by them themselves in order to protect the island.
It was rare for Yuri to express his speculations seriously, causing Warlord and Precht to look at rare animals.
"This is really...I thought you hated them, Yuri."
In Volod's view, Yuri, who had been teased the most by the two of them, should be the least likely to speak for them.
"...That's right! I hate them very much! Especially the guy who likes to take action whenever he disagrees with me!"
Without hiding anything, Yuri expressed his dissatisfaction very straightforwardly.
"However, calling them 'devils' would be a bit too much."
One is 'moody' because of his 'disabled' legs, and the other is so innocent and endearing.
Two girls, both only thirteen years old, depended on each other on an uninhabited island. After automatically making up certain plots in their minds, the adults had a lot of Yuri brothers saying that they could understand.
"...I hope so."
With his eyes slightly closed, Precht agreed more with Yuri's statement this time.
Although there was one problem, he wasn't completely relieved yet.
(Then the so-called super ancient magical weapons...are they also fabricated...)
He opened his eyes wide and looked at everything around him with emotion. As soon as he got off the boat, Mavis couldn't help but look around.
Whether it was a fisherman pulling goods, a businessman shouting and setting up a stall, or a busker performing acrobatics on the roadside, they all made her feel novel.
"This candy looks like a gem!"
"Hey! Although this fruit looks ugly, it tastes great!"
“It turns out there are also accessories in this shape!”
…
The feather-eared girl was running around the port to her heart's content. In order not to get separated from her, Zella had to use her magic power to follow behind.
If you just can't walk with your feet, it will still be somewhat inconvenient to use a wheelchair in a crowd.
"...I'm sorry, Zella..."
Seeing his friend hanging carefully behind him, Mabius became a little depressed after regaining consciousness.
"It's a bad habit of yours to apologize to me all the time, Mavis."
Knowing that it was his feet that made the little guy start to blame himself again, Zella smiled and said that he didn't care.
If she wasn't afraid of being too conspicuous in the city, she could actually change her method of movement.
"Let's go. As this is the first city with commemorative significance, we will stay here for two more days. The budget is still enough. Let's find a hotel first."
Before setting off, Zeira had brought all his small coffers with him. Although he didn't know how much prices had changed in the past seven years, he shouldn't need to worry about it in the short term.
Moreover, the "Sirius Jade" was destroyed and the "Blue Skull" also disappeared. It can be said that this time it was really a journey.
Of course, if he saw the remnants of those skeletons, Zella wouldn't mind giving them a quick blow.
"Um!"
He came to the back to help push the wheelchair, and the two of them slowly returned to the port.
Now that they have arrived on the mainland, the three treasure hunters have no reason to continue following them.
But after all, they were the ones who took care of the boat, so they should still say goodbye properly.
Yes, even if she knew the special characteristics of these three people, Zella was not prepared to deliberately retain them.
Because the trajectory of this world has been completely different from the moment she survived.
It's just that sometimes, this thing called fate...
Yuri, who saw the person coming, said hello, and then notified Volod and Precht who were waiting aside.
The three people carrying their luggage did not choose to leave directly, but waited for them where they were for a while.
"Speaking of which, little girls, where are you planning to go next?"
After all, they were the ones who brought the people back. Even if these two girls knew magic, Yuri and the others would still be a little worried.
"Well……"
Mavis, who looked at Zella, nodded his arm and spoke out the route he had already thought of.
"We will probably start from 'Harujion', go to 'Magnolia' which is the closest to here, and then transfer to 'Mountain Hakobe' and go to the royal capital 'Krokas'!"
"When the time comes, we will use that place as a new starting point to continue our adventure!"
Raising her hands in the air happily, Mavis was very much looking forward to the next journey.
"'Magnolia'..."
Rubbing his chin, Yuri did not expect that the routes they chose would be unexpectedly consistent.
"Although the time is short, thank you very much for your help!"
After politely thanking the three of them, Mavis said goodbye.
Zella also nodded slightly, thanking them for their 'free' contribution.
"..."
Looking at the two people's backs as they turned to leave, Yuri hesitated for a moment, and suddenly asked a question out of nowhere.
"Hey! Why do you want to take risks?"
Hearing this question, Mavis, who had his hands behind his back, turned around and smiled brightly.
The voice without hesitation came from afar.
"We are going to look for the "goblin"!"
"——!"
…
Yuri and the others will probably never forget the answer they gave that day.
The first touching moment between two girls embarking on an adventure, and the dream as beautiful as a fairy tale.
At this time, there are still 90 days before the birth of "Fairy Tail". (To be continued)
