Chapter 83: Chapter 83 - Arriving in the city
As soon as my companions arrived, I started introducing them.
"Well, from smallest to biggest, this is Ana, Akemi, Saemi, and Aoi"
I said, pointing to the girls in order. Upon hearing my words, Saemi and Aoi-sensei greeted Sylvia, while Fujiwara and Ana didn't seem to be paying attention. Although that was rather rude, it's not like I could force them to get along.
"And it's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Sylvia Arclight, and this is my maid, Rena"
Said Sylvia, making a brief introduction of herself and her maid.
"Right, now that you all know each other, let's hurry up and get out of here"
I said as I approached the overturned carriage. As soon as I got closer, I placed one of my hands on the underside of the carriage and, with a small push, I swerved the carriage. Once I finished, I turned around and found Sylvia and Rena looking at me with wide eyes.
"What happened?"
I asked as I approached both of them. Upon hearing my words, Sylvia and Rena looked at each other for a few seconds before Sylvia turned to me again with a strange smile on her face.
"Don't worry, we're just a little surprised by your strength"
Sylvia said, attempting to avoid my gaze. I raised an eyebrow at that but decided to ignore it.
"Right, anyway, get in the carriage. Glasy will be replacing the horses"
I said as I walked over to the carriage next to Glasy. As we approached, I took the saddle that attached the horses to the carriage and put it on Glasy. Of course, I didn't know exactly how I was supposed to put it on, so I simply went around Glasy's body with the saddle. While doing this, I noticed that all the girls had already gotten into the carriage and seemed to be talking.
"Are you ready, girl?"
I said as I stroked Glasy's thick white fur, which now had some black spots. As soon as she heard my words, Glasy gave a little howl and licked me. I took this as a positive sign and mounted on top of Glasy.
To be honest, this was the first time I had done this, so I was worried about the possibility of falling off. After giving Glasy two strokes on her fur, she started to run, not too fast but not too slow either.
The journey was pretty uneventful most of the way, although we occasionally encountered a few monsters, most of which were so weak that they ran away as soon as they saw Glasy. Thanks to this, we covered most of the forest in just one day, and as soon as it started to get dark, the end of it was already visible.
As we left the forest, a vast plain stretched before us, and even further ahead, huge stone walls could be seen. That place was probably our destination.
(Guys, we are arriving in what seems to be a city. Sylvia, how should we proceed?)
I asked while using telepathy. At this point, probably all the girls inside the carriage had heard my words.
(It's okay, Sylvia-san. You just have to think that your voice will be transmitted)
Said Aoi. Although I couldn't see Sylvia, she was probably quite confused as she suddenly started hearing a voice in her head.
(Uhm... can you hear me?)
Said Sylvia shyly.
(Perfectly)
I replied.
(Okay... as soon as we arrive in town, a guard will probably stop you and ask you to identify yourself. At that point, please show him this coat of arms)
Said Sylvia telepathically. As soon as I turned around, I saw a hand extended outside of the carriage through the window. Using my elemental manipulation skill, I made a hand made of shadow take the coat of arms and hand it to me.
(Thank you)
I said to Sylvia.
(Your mastery of magic is really wonderful, benefactor)
Said Sylvia in my head. Hearing her words, I was a bit confused about what she could mean by that. Anyway, I ignored this comment from Sylvia and continued to move on.
After a few more minutes on the road, we passed over a small bridge and finally arrived at the huge gate that connected the outside and the inside of the city. There was a small queue, but we waited only three minutes before our turn came.
Of course, as soon as we approached, Glasy was already back to her small size since if she continued at her normal size, we would probably be met with swords instead of words.
"Documents, please"
Said the guard as soon as he approached our carriage. The guard was wearing armor, and there was a sword attached to his waist. Overall, he seemed prepared for some unexpected situation where he needed to fight. Following the man's words, I took out the crest that Sylvia gave me earlier and gave it to the man.
Although in the initial seconds that the man took the crest, he looked confused, his confusion was quickly replaced by surprise. Before I knew it, the man was bowing while keeping his head down.
"Please excuse me for my disrespect. I could not notice whose carriage it was earlier. You may pass"
Said the man, making room for us to pass. Although I found the man's behavior odd, I ignored it and continued to move forward into the city. But this event made me certain that Sylvia was far more important than I initially thought.
As we entered the city, a wonderful view unfolded in front of me. Several medieval buildings that you normally see in anime and manga were right in front of me. As I looked around in amazement, I remembered that I needed to solve Sylvia's problem first.
(Sylvia, can you tell me where the knights' headquarters is?)
As I asked this telepathically, a voice echoed in my head in response.
(Can you see that white flag in the distance? That's the knights' headquarters)
Said Sylvia. Following her words, I started to go towards the flag. On the way, I kept looking everywhere for other races like elves or beastmen, but unfortunately, I couldn't find any other race than the human race.
