The next day, I was on my way to the gate, the meeting place with Mr. Helen.

I couldn't slow down at all yesterday because Pedo was making a scene to the end, but because Pedo said at the end, 'I hope you'll come and see me once in a while because Master Julia wanted to see me,' I think I'll go to the Devil's Land even when I have time.

Well, it's time to get to the gate. When I made the promise, I always arrived later, so I made sure to arrive an hour before meeting time today.

I'm a man, and I can't believe every time a woman is in a rendezvous place.

Oh, good morning, Al. You're early.

They won't allow me to have pride.

Looks like Mr. Helen had already arrived and rushed over here.

Unlike her usual outfit as a receptionist, Ms. Helen was a little rough.

"Good morning, Mr. Helen. Mr. Helen is pretty quick, too. It was an hour ago, wasn't it?

"Heh!?

Mr. Helen reacts freakedly to my words, turning to you as you dye your cheeks, scratching those cheeks with your index fingers.

"It's... uh... the..."

... Is that it? Mr. Helen, I'm trying to misrepresent you, but could this have been the one you shouldn't have heard? If that's it...

"Excuse me. You asked me something wild. So, what are you going to do to the village of Honolulu today?

When I changed the subject, Mr. Helen had a mixed look of reassurance and regret, but immediately returned to his original expression.

"In the end, I haven't been back to Honolulu yet, so I thought I'd visit the deceased."

"I see..."

Come. Mr. Helen's brother will be delighted. He looked like he had a buddha, but will we see him again?

"Al, you? What's the matter with you?

Mr. Helen peeked into my face because he was a little too immersed in his thoughts.

"No, it's nothing. Well, let's get on with it."

"Yes."

We knocked over the gate to set off for Honolulu village earlier than planned.

The village of Honolulu is a two-day journey by carriage, so it takes quite a while to get to "normal".

I was ready for that...

"So it's time to use your powers"

"Huh?"

Around some distance from Wang capital, Mr. Helen suddenly says that, so at the same time that I raised my voice of doubt, Mr. Helen's back grew wings.

"Al, you'd get here, wouldn't you? Let's go."

That being said, Mr. Helen flew away with the sound of cutting the wind.

... Speaking of which, Mr. Helen, you were able to fly...

I don't know...

"Hey!? Wait!!

I immediately followed Mr. Helen. but I'm late, so I'm not going to chase Mr. Helen yet.

"When this happens... Skills!!"

I will use this skill for a long time, but with this skill I would easily chase Mr. Helen as well.

That's what I thought. But.

"... you're lying!? Mr. Helen, how fast did you get?!?

I didn't get any closer to Mr. Helen at all. Is Mr. Helen so early? I thought......

"No... my < fast travel > isn't activated...?

At present, the speed at which the scenery flows has not changed, nor has the intensity of the wind it receives changed.

What's this all about? Why are you losing your skills?

I try to keep thinking while chasing Mr. Helen, but I had no idea what caused it.

"... there's nothing I need to think about right now."

Mr. Helen's business is a priority now. Thinking will only be good after you return to the King's Capital.

So let's just think about running to the village of Honolulu first.

When I truncated this thought, I began to concentrate solely on chasing Mr. Helen.

After a while of running, my distance with Mr. Helen gradually narrowed and I was finally able to line up beside him.

"Mr. Helen! Isn't it a little fast!?

When I talk to Helen in a way that goes side-by-side with her flying.

"I'm chasing you to that speed, Al, and you say that?

And he said in a frightened voice.

But he's actually running pretty fast. At this rate, you will be able to reach the village of Honolulu by noon.

"Are you okay at this pace?

"Yes, I'm fine"

Truth is, I have something a little spicy, but let me pinch a break when I'm tired.

That's what I decided, and I kept walking next to Mr. Helen.
