We were to head south. To the south, what is there? Will anything change if I head south?

I don't know what's going to happen in the future, but I'm okay with everyone. I can't help but be really happy that you accept me because everyone is with me. It's stronger than anxiety that we can all make it from now on.

We pack our bags in the village of Elves and leave for the south. Everybody grab their bags and start moving.

This time, I'm not running away like I was on this previous trip.

That's why we don't have to move on in a hurry. At our own pace, we find where we want to live. That's our next move.

"Where I want to live, quickly, if I can find you...... good"

"Yeah, right. Lernda."

To my crush, Mr. Lan laughed at me.

A dream that the future of me and Gaius is about to come true with dreams becoming everyone's dream.

Steps to make that dream come true. That's the journey south. That makes me feel completely different than when Mr. Athos followed that village he loved to get killed and run away.

We all walk south, little by little.

I was honestly relieved from the bottom of my heart to say that I might be a godson. My shoulder loads are down, I'm happy and I can't help it, and soon enough lately I have zeroed my grin.

A little further south, we hit the river.

There is no bridge to cross the river. I guess there's no one's hands in here. Quite a wide river as well. Depth, deep there. This was carried by the Griffons and Seafo, little by little. And Frene used the magic of the wind to carry it. But Frene's magic was a little unstable and the person Frene was carrying looked just a little anxious.

Or would it be possible for me, Frene, to make a pact and be compatible with the Spirit of the Wind that I could fly? I think I would be able to do many more things if I could fly. I mean, I want to be able to fly. Ask Frene and try her best to use more magic.

Speaking of which, Gaius... seems to be thinking a lot.

Ever since I defeated the demon, I've got something in mind. I want to know what Gaius is thinking, and I want him to talk to me, but I think I'm going to wait for Gaius to talk to me.

We all took a break on the spot across the river.

The Griffons, Seafo, and Frene are resting slowly. Frene said he didn't need to rest like people because of his position as a Spirit, but he was resting with me. Speaking of which, people don't see or hear Frene as normal. It's just that Frene seems to be using his magic powers to make himself visible so that he can hear himself. I don't have to do anything to see and hear anyone who can feel the Spirit from the beginning.

"Frene, tell me the magic of the wind"

"Yeah. Teach"

Frene answers my words that way.

"Me, can you use any other magic?

"Maybe the wind seems to work best with me, but I think I can use something else. Lernda is really compatible with the Spirit"

"... well, I'm glad. Can we get along with spirits other than Frene?

"I think Lernda can do it if she wants"

I'm honestly pleased with the fact that it goes well with the spirits. I would love to get along with all the spirits. Because if we get along and we can live together - that's all I enjoy and I'm happy for.

"Frene, a lot, magic to me, teach me."

"I can do the wind, but the others might be a little hard for me"

"Yeah. And tell me a lot about the Spirit."

"Yeah."

Go back to sleep with Frene and we'll talk. There are also griffons and seafo around it. Look up at the blue sky like this, relax, it's fun. The light of day feels good.

That day, I stayed put and fell asleep.

When I woke up, uh, everyone was talking about something. Everyone who is hardened, I come closer to you all.

Then,

"Happy Birthday, Lernda"

That's what they said.

Oh, I did. My birthday. I totally forgot it was that time of year.

Oh well... it's been another year since that first fun birthday for me. Mr. Athos died, and we all fled, and met the elves, and fought the demons. In all those hasty days, I never thought that now would be the day. But in all those days, you remembered my birthday. They're celebrating.

I'm glad to hear that.

My heart warmed up again.

"We can't celebrate like before because we're on the move, but we'll celebrate."

Mr. Lan laughed with tender eyes.

- Girl, go south.

(Maybe a divine girl heads south with her friends. And the girl's birthday is coming again)
