Once everyone had boarded and they made sure no one had been left behind, the Spirit Flying Ship began to move.

All the children assembled in the room at the front of the ship, which featured a large window. Through it, they watched as the ground slowly receded beneath them.

Eventually, the ship reached an altitude of around a thousand meters, and through the window they could see the sea of trees extending far into the horizon, almost melding with the neverending sky. It was so different from anything they were accustomed to that it felt like they were glimpsing a whole new world.

While the idea was to carry all of the children to Arkite, someone had decided that the route would not be a straight line. Instead, the ship would deviate whenever there was an interesting landmark, and slow down to let the children watch and enjoy.

Every time that happened, they would cheer loudly. Currently, they were passing by the largest waterfall in the entire continent.

「Now, this is impressive.」

Mira was also looking out of the window, with the youngest group still gathered around her. Their trip to Arkite had been turned into a sightseeing tour of the continent.

As Kagura explained, some of the people working with her had the idea of changing course like that when they heard that the children had grown up in a secluded forest and had seen very little of the outside world.

「Though I feel like some of them just wanted to see certain places themselves.」

So far, the Spirit Flying Ship had only been used to travel during emergencies or to carry heavy cargo. This was the first time it was being used for something else, so the members of the Fifty Bells decided to enjoy the trip, while also making sure the children had a good time.

「…And that’s the situation here. We should be arriving tomorrow at noon.」

‘Got it. I’ll get everything ready and we’ll be waiting for you.’

Mira used the communication device to update Solomon on the situation as well, before going to a room where Kagura, Artesia, and Lastrada were gathered.

It was late at night, and the children had all quickly fallen asleep, exhausted from all their excitement during the day. The teachers and crew could look after them, so Mira and her friends gathered to catch up with everyone.

The four talked at length until late at night, reminiscing about the past, their current plans, all of their expectations for the future, and so on.

The next morning, Mira woke up and went to enjoy the morning sun on the ship’s deck, while enjoying a bottle of Summer Seasons au Lait. That one was made from summer fruits harvested from the Forest of Four Seasons.

「Mira, could you spare us a moment?」

Just as Mira felt like the citrusy flavor of her drink was finally waking her up, she heard someone behind her.

Turning around, she saw one of the spirits that was helping the Fifty Bells. And there was a multitude of spirits further back.

「Wh-What is it?」

Slightly intimidated by the determined look on all of the spirits, Mira stammered a response. Then, one of the spirits replied for all of them, saying, 「Please allow us to hear the voice of the Spirit King at least once!」

Mira had already seen a glimpse of that after the recent incident with Anlutine, but it was clear that the Spirit King was a very important figure for all spirits. All of their faces were brimming with hope as they looked at Mira.

Wondering what the best course of action was, she decided to ask the Spirit King, who replied, ‘Hm? What’s happening?’

He had not been actively looking through Mira’s eyes at that time, so Mira had to update him on everything that happened. At least their connection allowed them to talk instantly like that.

Once he was all caught up, his reaction was, ‘I’m sorry for all the troubles my kin seem to be causing you,’ though he sounded happy about it.

Later on, the spirits and the Spirit King began talking, and continued all the way until it was time for breakfast. The spirits all revered the Spirit King as their father, and he saw them as his children. Their connection was far more profound than the familial ties between people, but it was just as filled with love. řàΝỐ฿Ε𐌔

But soon, Martel could not hold back anymore and she joined the conversation, derailing things into a different direction.

Originator Spirits were seen like unconditional older siblings, and since one of the spirits was in a relationship with a human, Martel turned their family conversation into romantic discussions.

Mira could hear everything too, so she let it play in the back of her mind as she looked up, seeing that the weather looked good that day.

「I see, so that’s why everyone volunteered to come right away.」

After breakfast, and as the ship continued its route to Arkite, Mira told Kagura everything that happened that morning, and she seemed to piece together the events leading to that.

When Kagura announced in the Fifty Bells’ headquarters that Mira had requested the help of the Spirit Flying Ship, all of the spirits present immediately volunteered to come along. At first, she thought they simply liked the children that much, but hearing what Mira told her, everything made a lot more sense.

Spirits usually felt like supernatural entities, but even they had a parent. Kagura also noticed that the spirits seemed to be in a better mood that day.

The ship continued flying across the continent without any setbacks, and shortly after noon, they finally entered Arkite. There were still a few landmarks to visit in there before they headed to the capital city of Lunatic Lake.

After flying over a small ridge, the main attraction there came into view. Nine imposing towers, the dream of all spellcasters, and the home of the Nine Wisemen, the strongest spellcasters. The Silver Linked Towers.

That was a special place for all spellcasters, which prompted some of the crew members who were also spellcasters to stare out of the window in admiration, while the children looked at the Silver Linked Towers the same way as the previous landmarks, not really aware of their meaning.

The crew were also promised some free time after the children were delivered successfully, so the spellcasters had already planned on visiting Silver Horn during that time, so they could see everything from up close.

「This brings back memories.」

「Yeah, those were the times.」

「They haven’t changed a bit.」
