　It seems that she has consumed a lot of magical energy since the last time she was here. She should be able to perform her minimum activities, but she will need to be medicated when we return to King's Landing.

　Hippopo looks a little tired, but still squeals with pride. I pat Hippopo for his quick thinking in the midst of a near-collision.

　As I do so, I walk for a while to cool down, which seems to have calmed down my heartbeat. I send her back to the scroll.

　Zoroar and Squirrelmist are frantically removing the branches and leaves that are tangled all over his body. Both of them are still covered in leaves.

　In particular, they seem to be having a hard time removing the branches that are stuck in Highness Lily's braided hair.

　Perhaps if they forcefully pull it out, it will untangle her braided hair.

　They look at each other, nod at each other, and seem to give up.

　Now they begin to remove the leaves entangled in each other's bodies.

　What, you're just going to give up there? It stands out like a sore thumb. With all the other branches and leaves gone, the branch still growing out of their heads stands out even more.

　I can't help but pout inwardly.

　Her Highness Lily's blush has finally gone away and her face is back to its normal, composed appearance. She seems to be trying to keep her dignity by straightening her back and making a serious face, but it is all ruined by the branch still growing from her head.

　Next to him, a little further away, is Roa, looking very pleased with himself. He is smiling like I have never seen him smile before.

　This is very rare for Roa, who usually does not show much emotion except when it comes to food. He is trying to be supportive of Sharyl, but it seems that his eyes are glancing at His Highness Lily and the others. Each time he does, his smile deepens.

　I run to Sharyl, trying to get away from her face, which is hard to look at directly. First, I check her condition on the scroll of the "transcription" that is still deployed.

"Yes, Sharyl is fine. Roa seems to have ridden it well. ...... You won!"

"Master Rust, that last acceleration was amazing! Is Hippopo okay?"

　He must have been worried when he saw that we repatriated Hippopo early. I give him a reassuring smile and tell him.

"You're a little tired because you used your magical elements until the last minute, but you'll be fine. I will take care of you as soon as we get back to King's Landing. You will be fine soon. Oh, please give me a ride back to Sharyl too.

"Okay."

"So, what about that one?"

　That's what Roa tells me. He glances at me, and I know he's talking about Her Highness Princess Lily and the others.

　There was His Highness Lily, who had been staring at us silently for a long time, approaching us.
