...

"Still grumbling?"

"No"

He said so, but his pouting face said another

Since we didn't stop by Magnolia town to buy some spicy chicken, he wouldn't talk the whole way unless we started

Is that his desire to eat that chicken...?

"Basic boy. Just still angry"

"... Your mouth stinks, Luxor"

"You...!"

"That's it. You'll just catch everyone's attention later"

Forgetit. Their attention has been on us since. The look was full of tension and anger that they directed without thinking about our feelings

I know you're upset about having to work with us right now, but at least please hide your gazes it's okay...?

"Vain's. Is there any spicy chicken near here?"

Still asking that?

"I'm not sure. Usually food stores around sell food from seafood"

That's how. The last time I went to this town, all the food stores were selling seafood

"Daddy" Verdea grumbled

"After all, aren't we supposed to be going up right now?" Luxor asked

"... I think we should wait. Those guys don't look friendly"

From their eyes can be seen, right?

"That's because they're still wary of you"

A-

Hmh! Suddenly it just appears

Edwin who had just said that immediately stepped forward, getting on the ship that would take us without obstacles

...

Huh... If we could easily ride like you, we'd have done it since then

These people still don't seem to want to work with us. Being among them now might not be a good choice

Wait until some of them get off the deck of the ship first...

"That's it. Let's go up"

Verdea suddenly grabbed us all by the hand and dragged us on board

"Veri- Wait-!"

"That's it. It's better to choose a room right now than they're being strict and not giving up the room later, right?"

He's correct. Why should this child speak the truth...?

"Yes but-"

...

Never mind. Just follow the little boss

Arguing with him will not result in anything. I also admit that he is right

He knows what is good and bad. I will not doubt his judgment

And as always, I had to carry all their bags, because I was the most physically strong. Troublesome

I followed Verdea from behind, along with the others. But...

One step we just entered the deck of the ship, everyone immediately looked alert

"Ah, their faces make me uncomfortable" Verdea commented

That's why I didn't want to go up before!

"Verdeans. We better go straight inside"

Verdea nodded in response to my words

But then again, not even a step forward yet, someone made us stop

A large man, standing right in front of Verdea, looked at him as if he were trash

"Excuse me. We want to pass"

"Oh I know. But explain why you have to pass?"

...

I can argue with him right now, but a shrimp-brained guy like this can't even make a trap question

It's harder to argue with a fool than a genius

"We want to get into the cabin of the ship. Is that clear enough?"

Verdea took over...

He would be tired of arguing like this...

"No. I wonder why you think the cabin for the crew is for you? If you choose a room, where will most of the crew on this ship sleep?"

"On deck. Is it hard?"

...

...

What-what?

He was straight so-so?

I really didn't expect him to be so frank...

"Then, why don't you guys just sleep on the deck, huh?!"

"If this ship were cleaner, we might want to"

...

PFFT!!!

This kid is so blunt

Even my other friends couldn't help their smiles

"Already, already. We better save the energy"

"Ah, finally your sarcastic attitude comes out"

"The circus?"

...

Hearing the person who confronted us ask, we both looked at each other in astonishment, before looking back at him

"It turns out he was stupid. He doesn't even know you're denouncing him" Verdea commented

"I told you not~? Needless to say it's also clear isn't~?" I added

"Hey uncle. Do you think you have a brain or not?"

"Aahaha!!! Are you happy to denounce people or what??"

I spontaneously laughed just now because I did not expect him to reproach bluntly. I also had to hold my laughter back from exploding

"I tried the circus, too, but I'm afraid he won't understand later"

Verdea stuck out her tongue with nosy intentions, and that combined with her words just now made me unable to help but laugh anymore

All my friends laughed at Verdea's behavior and heard my laughter. They were apparently trying to hold their laughter back as well in front of everyone who had started to look upset

Alright enough to make fun of these people. He looks up on the blackboard now. Our thoughts are all the same now...

Run!!!

"Fucking hey!! Don't run-!"

He fell down when he intended to chase after us who had gone away. We laughed at him who started rolling on the wooden board and fell successfully on the ground, landing his face first

"Who told you, you indistinct person! Eat that!!" Luxor shouted

"That's it. We just run to the end of the pier" Ordelia suggested

Well how else? Those people will also definitely not let us board their ship anymore

I need to find another ship

"Forget the boat"

Heh?

"Why do you say that, Verdea?"

"We'll just fly to Miralius. After all, your plan doesn't count them as a favor either, does it?"

He's correct. But, I want there to be some witnesses who can see our plan going forward later. In order to prove that our only stronghold managed to defeat Xiang

We stopped running, seeing that we had arrived at the end of the pier

So, she wants to fly...?

"Find Edwin first?" Verdea asked, knowing what my intentions were

"No, no need"

I gave something to Edwin before leaving

"Oh, long-distance seed!" Verdea exclaims

I knew this would be useful, that's why I gave one to Edwin

"Hello, Edwin?"

...

"HOY!!! I KNOW YOU'RE LISTENING!!"

Don't try to fool me. I made that seed, so I know what the conditions are

But since I shouted just now, all my friends were shocked to death

"Tch. I slept for a while..."

Finally he answered from the seed

"Edwin. We have one thing to say"

"And what is it, Oberon?"

I wanted to tell her the reason, but before I could, Verdea grabbed my hand and started talking

"We're not going to get on the boat. The Fae will drive us"

"Oh begi- HUH!? Don't joke prince!!"

Fantastic late reaction

"We're serious. And you made my ears hurt"

"I'm sorry about that. But, Fae? What'sthat?"

Huh huh? She didn't know?

I motioned that I should speak again to Verdea. He understood and immediately withdrew to take off my hand

"The bottom line is, we'll fly to Miralius first. Order all these ships to go to Gong immediately and wait there. If they refuse, let it go. We don't need people who don't intend to come along, tell them that"

Well, even though I'm sure all these ships won't come with us because of what I said

But as Verdea said, we don't need those people in our plans

"But, this ship has been prepared by the kingdom loh? If you refuse it..."

Verdea once again grabbed my hand and advanced it to her lips

"Then tell the nobles, that the prince of Verdea was so constrained by them that he felt uncomfortable and went alone with his friend. Understood?"

"No"

Instant response from Edwin. No long thought at all

It was because he did not want to get the slightest time with those nobles

"Why should you leave without this army?" Edwin asked again

"Because they are useless if they don't intend!! You don't understand what Vainzel said?!"

Uwah...! Verdea started screaming

I knew he was just messing around, but he surprised me

"... Tch. Okay, prince. I'll just tell these people that we have to wait in Gong. Reporting to the nobles about you refusing help would be troublesome if I did"

He's correct. Although not too influential for Verdea, we also have one loss that I just realized

The nobles would not be willing to cooperate with the one who refused their help, even if that person was a prince. It has to do with their self-esteem too, that's why

I'm sure Verdea is aware of that, too

"The point is, remember the command. Gong Kingdom, then wait there. I know it's gonna be hard to turn around, but we don't have a choice. Even I'm not sure the Elves in Miralius would be happy to meet the Hortensians"

Edwin sounded agreeable, then resigned himself to inform the captains of the ship

"Then, about the Fae..."

"Give it to me"

Ordelia came forward, with both her hands clenched

After he opened his fist in front of us, there was some powder in his hand. He then blew the powder at us so that everything stuck to the shirt

Oh, this powder

"Wo-woah!"

Verdea started floating in the air, followed by the rest of us

I immediately grabbed Verdea so she wouldn't fly here and there in the air uncontrollably

"Ayahanda gave this to you huh?" I asked

"He said it would be useful to us. At least now it'll be useful"

My father always knew what we needed. The Elf advisors are amazing

One major component that can give birth to a Fae is the powder produced by the Father through his breath. The powder that gave them the power to fly, given that Father himself could fly in his original form

So, he could also use this ability in his form of such a container

Producing this powder is a habit of Fathers. They would scatter themselves all over Miralius, clinging to a flower or tree, and forming small Fae

"In this way, we don't have to wait for the Fae!" Verdea said cheerfully, then started flying here and there as if she had gotten used to it

"Veri, stop. You'll attract a lot of people"

"Oh, come. They've all been staring since we floated you know?"

And that's what I don't like...

Well, let it go. We should all hurry to Miralius

"Then we'll just fly now"

"Good!" All my friends exclaimed

After I carried all our bags tightly together using my hands, we began to slowly move through the air

One more thing to note, the strength of this powder must be our control, unlike when with the Fae

If we darted very fast, maybe we wouldn't be able to brake

*BYUR!!*

"YOUTDOOR!!!!"

That kid...!!!

The atmosphere immediately boomed as we all tried to find a way to save her who was plunged into the sea, without making our clothes wet of course

...

"Ehehe~ I couldn't control my speed before I hit it~"

And now all the powder in your body is gone. I'm the one who has to take you in the air, right? Your whole body is soaking wet

I had no intention of wetting myself either, so she had to hang on like that while I carried her

"It was fortunate that Remina's thinking was quick. Otherwise, you might already be seafood food"

"But he has to stop trying to hurt me on purpose..."

"If he hadn't hit you with water in the air earlier, I would have hit you by now!"

"Hmph...!"

Grumble as you like

Fucking kid. Taking you along with all these bags makes my hands and back ache

Huh... I want to dart to get there fast, but I can guarantee we'll hit the ground later

I'd better be patient. Heading to Miralius will indeed be a long time, but at least I can rest as much as I can there later

Just think about it Vainzel, think about it

"And stop rocking!! You want us to drown?!!" I shouted at Verdea who suddenly swayed

"I just want to look around, can't I!?" He retaliated

"Stop shaking your body stupid!!!"

"Shall I hit him with water again Oberon?" Remina interrupted

"I beg you!!"

All my friends laughed at the way we both did. And to keep her word, Remina brushed Verdea's leg off with seawater after I had dropped a little to the surface, causing her to try to pull her leg up

"So you want that!? Alright, I won't stop moving!! Feel this!!"

Ahahahah... This kid

But we'll really fall this way...

Let alone. At least, I can tell that Verdea is still excited

"Then we throw him back into the sea!"

"Come!!"

"DON'T!!!"

And I'm happy to bother him, just like he bothers me
