Reincarnation Monarch

"Really?

Delkia looked surprised and asked Gaius back.

Gaius nodded as he turned his attention to his surroundings.

"Oh. The Delkias will be oblivious to things on the ground, so to explain..."

Gaius explained in detail to the Delchians the plight in which Dallas was placed today, in particular the phenomenon known as the depression of Dallas.

"Hmm, the depression of Dallas? That's serious. If you ask me, it's starting to look like you're all sinking without a heart."

"That might actually be true. 'Cause that's what happened when I came. I'm not lively at all. So I don't think Delkia's feeling wrong."

"Right..."

Delkia glanced around once more and stopped looking at the children, who were shaking well.

"Seems like a different kid."

Gaius nodded with a smile.

"Right. It just doesn't seem to affect Dallas' depression either. But will it matter any day..."

"Yeah, but by the time they grow up, they might be different."

"I hope so. Maybe their generation will change."

"That's what I'm talking about"

The two nodded at each other.

And Gaius said unto him,

"Well, let's just say it's time to ask someone where this place is"

When Gaius said so, he rushed over to a young man trying to pass nearby and called him off.

"Excuse me. I'm a traveler, what a town is this?

The young man replied without laughing, especially without expressing any emotions.

"It's the town of Erg."

"Alexandria, the capital of Dallas, from here, in which direction?

The young man gave a slightly strange look, but answered after some thought.

"Alexandria is northwest of here."

"Really? So if we head northwest, we can go to Alexandria, right?

"Yeah, but it's pretty far, isn't it?

"It's okay. Because I can use flying techniques."

Then a young man became a convincing face.

"Oh, so you heard the directions. Right. It depends on the speed, but if it's a common flying technique, maybe we can get there in half a day."

"Really? Thank you."

Gaius stopped to thank him and try to walk away, but forgot to ask him one more thing.

"Excuse me. Which is Northwest?

The young man pointed in the opposite direction to the mountain he had crossed.

"This way."

Gaius, thanking him in advance, turned his heels back to Delkia and returned to them.
