　It was a hard choice to leave everyone behind, but we prioritized speed. Roa, who can use his farsightedness. Taura, who knows a thing or two about sorcerers and sorcery. Halhammer, one of the best alchemists. When we had the meeting, everyone told me that I should be the one to go with them.

　Luckily, there is almost no rain on the frontier this time of year. Hippopo's footprints will not disappear so easily after he has put all his energy into it. It will be easy to track them. I have no doubt that they will catch up with us.

　I say a word and reach for Hippopo's mouth. Holding the crushed magic stone.

　Hippopo turns his face toward me and opens his mouth.

　The winged serpent continues to fly above us. Sometimes I can see Sailuke lying limp under his body.
