“Hello, everyone. How’s your bath? What happened? Why is Akeiko’s face turned red?'' Teiko asked.
“Oh, this. Don’t mind it, maybe I tried to make the water in the creek too hot for my body,” Akeiko said.
“Is that so? Then you should be careful about the future. Anyway, I’ve already cooked our dinner so you guys can start. I’ll take a bath first,” Teiko said.
“Really? We could wait for you,” Silica said.
“Don’t worry about me, I already tasted some of it. I'm not that hungry anymore,” Teiko replied.
After some time, Teiko finished taking a bath and he saw that the others were still not eating.
“Hey, everyone. What happened? I already told you that you can start your dinner,” Teiko said.
“These two insisted that we wait for you. Scold them, Teiko-nii. I’m already starving,” Saki said.
“If I remember correctly, you can survive years without any food,” Teiko said.
“Hmp! You really don't care about me,” Saki said.
“Anyway, since you waited for me the food became cold,” Teiko said.
“Don’t worry, I can reheat them with my skill, Ablaze,” Silica said.
“No, don’t do that. Give me five minutes and I’ll just heat all of our food so it’ll be more delicious,” Teiko said.
After five minutes, they started eating their dinner.
“Wow, Teiko. You’re cooking skill is really great. Is your sister also good at cooking?” Silica asked.
“Ahh, thank you. My mother is good at cooking but unfortunately, Taiya didn’t inherit that skill,” Teiko said.
Silica smirked at Akeiko.
“Oh, so Taiya cooked inedible foods?” Akeiko asked.
“Uhm, I wouldn’t say it’s inedible. I could still eat it but it’s just not that good,” Teiko replied.
Akeiko smirked back at Silica.
“Why are you interested in my sister?” Teiko asked.
“Oh, I just wanted to know how I should greet her when I met her. I don’t know why Akeiko’s asking though,” Silica said.
“Me? I just ask a follow up question,” Akeiko replied.
“Oh, okay. But it should become one of your problems since there’s no way that we’ll meet her. I’ll bring peace to this world before I meet her again,” Teiko replied.
“Are you not missing her?” Akeko asked.
“Of course I miss her, she’s the only family I have left. But I’m also doing this for her, I want her to have her freedom in this world,” Teiko replied.
“What’s the thing that you miss most about her?” Silica asked.
“Hmm, I don’t know? Maybe everything? Her stubbornness, her kindness, the way she speaks, the way she always says she cares about me and even the way she mock me. I miss all of that, but I’ll save every emotion I have until I can meet her again,” Teiko replied.
“I see,” Akeiko said.
“So we’re eating now or what?” Teiko asked.
“Let’s continue eating!” Saki exclaimed.
“When it comes to eating, you’re always the first one to speak, Saki,” Teiko said.
“Of course, I need to eat a lot because the thing we will do after this day is really troublesome,” Saki said.
“Really? We’ll face an opponent much stronger than the Behemoth?” Silica asked.
“No,” Saki and Teiko said in chorus.
“What do you also know about it, Teiko-nii?” Saki asked.
“Of course, I already know some part of you and what you said is included to what I know, just said it to them directly so they wouldn’t be that nervous,” Teiko said.
“What was it, Saki?” Akeiko asked.
“We’ll be travelling for days without anything to cross upon. We’ll only be seeing rocks, grass, rocks, grass, and more rocks and grass! The boring days are coming, this is the part of the journey that is very troublesome!” Saki exclaimed.
“Well, I understand how troublesome it is for you, Saki. We should at least do something while on that boring part of the journey to at least make it enjoyable,” Akeiko said.
“Then, how about learning flight magic?,” Saki said.
“Flight magic? You mean magic that can let us fly or levitate?” Teiko asked.
“Yup, you heard me right, Teiko-nii! You’ll be able to fly freely using your mana if you learn this!” Saki replied.
“I thought that you cannot teach magic easily? How would we be able to learn that thing?” Akeiko asked.
“Oh, I’m not going to teach it to you, you have to learn it for yourself. Like you just need to feel the magic flowing into your body. That’s all!” Saki said.
“Hey, if you know something like this, why didn’t you teach me about this earlier or even when I’m still in the sanctuary?” Teiko asked.
“Well, you don’t like magic, right?” Saki asked.
“I mean, you should have told me that,” Teiko said.
Saki laughs. She said, “Actually, you can’t still learn it. You’re maximum mana that time wouldn’t let you learn this so I wait for you to have ample amount of mana. You might die due to falling if we tried to do that before.”
“I see, so feel us with the details so we could start learning the flight magic,” Teiko said.
“I’m excited about this. I’m glad that I have mana so I could learn something like this,” Silica said.
“So we don’t need to ride Saryx anymore if we learn how to fly?” Akeiko asked.
“We still need to, since it’s magic, it drains mana and draining your mana during the travel is quite dangerous especially to a mage like you. We might stumble upon a lot of enemies just like that behemoth that you guys previously fought against,” Saki replied.
“Okay, so what should we do to learn this?” Silica asked.
“It’s quite simple, just imagine flying,” Saki said.
“Ehh? That's quite simple,” Teiko said.
