"H-Hikaru...! Slow down...!"

"No can do. That pig baron might catch up to us if we don't get away from Daijel quick. Bear with it."

"Uuu... It's too fast, scary..."

We're currently speeding high up in the sky with me carrying Alma.

We're taking unpopulated routes far away from the highways.

Naturally this means taking a detour, and yet we're still going far faster than traveling on foot and it's less toilsome.

The only issue is Alma clinging quite tightly on me due to the speed, I'm dying. I'd be lying if I said it didn't feel nice, but I dunno how long my sense would last...

We saw Kemura village that was under siege by the boars along the way, and disregarded it. I'd have liked to go greet the villagers but we got no time.

...It's really a shame we've gotta cut vanilla cultivation short. Don't think it's a strong enough crop to last without proper care, I'm sure it'll have died the next time we drop by, dang.

As my mana was about to run out, a rampart-like wall came into view.

The journey would have taken many days on foot, thank goodness we got here before my mana dried up completely.

I can't see the whole city from here, but it's clear how much bigger it is than Daijel.

Wonder if it's as big as the royal capital?

<<Commercial City [Vinfitt]: The land around this city has an abundance of resources such as good yielding mines, and crop-friendly soil. This results in a large amount of merchants flocking in to procure and market them. The city is approximately as vast as the royal capital, it is known as the mecca of merchants.>>

Oh, that's nice.

I might find never-before-seen ingredients and mats there. Can't wait.
