The plain and unnoticed me is no more

126 · Running through the sunset sky

Right now, countless stars are rising instantly towards the night sky. Beyond the mountain, which seemed far away, the sun peered into his face.

"Kyaahh... I'm so scared!

"Lana! Don't be a fool. On the contrary, it's dangerous."

As I suddenly ascended to the sky at a speed I had never experienced before, my eyes turned to that height, which was almost reachable to the clouds, making an unfortunate voice. Weiss talked gently to calm me down.

(Lana, as long as you hold on to Singh. Never drop it, so don't worry)

"Um... I forgot, but I don't really like high places..."

In my previous life, I didn't like the screaming machine of the amusement park very much. Especially, only the type of attraction that rises vertically and drops suddenly has been persistently rejecting me no matter how many times my friends invite me.

I was completely alarmed that there was no screaming machine in this world, so it was okay. No one would imagine going up high enough to look over this vast king's city.

When it comes to what I'm doing, I'm going with Singh to get him on the back of Weiss, who's a big lion, and Sandra's going to a village where she failed to beg.

At first, I was going alone, but I was honestly sweet and correct about Singh who told me to go with me. Sin hugged me tightly, scared and unconscious.

"Damn, I don't know... hold on to me and close your eyes. That's why you often said you were going alone....."

"It's not what I imagined. I never thought I'd fly so high...."

The stars gradually fade above your head, and the morning sun starts dyeing the area red. The city of King's Landing with its beautiful morning light is spreading under my eyes, but I can't afford to look at it, just close my eyes and stick to Sin with all my strength.

In contrast, Sin was overwhelmed by the scenery he had seen for the first time in his life, while looking at the city of King's Landing with interest.

(Mr. Lana, I'll come. Running through the sky is quick. Please be patient for about an hour)

How fast does Weiss intend to go? I'm trying to run through a distance of a few days by carriage in an hour.

"Okay, Weiss. I'd like to be back in time for lunch, so let's hurry. Sin, please don't let go of me.

"Oh, don't let go, trust me and Weiss."

Sin holds me forcefully in front of him with one hand and holds the equipments like the equipments attached to Weiss with the other hand.

For the first time, it seems that Weiss can freely embody his equipment.

When it was decided to put me on my back, I put glitter around my body like an animated transformation scene, and put on things like saddles and straps in an instant.

Having seen it, I thought that I might be able to do the same.

The time went back the previous afternoon.

The news came suddenly.

Lunchtime was over, and we were all resting together.

"Lana! Is Lana here?

"Well, Irina. What happened in such a hurry?

I get up from the chair I was sitting on and walk out towards the door. Irina-sama's face was pale and she knew that something unusual had happened to her as she was about to collapse.

"I just got word from the temple... that what I was afraid of has come true."

I will guide Irina to the table in front of me and look at Chiyo and ask him to prepare tea.

"Um... calm down. Please call me first."

Irina sat down and took a deep breath to calm her impatience.

"The party that went to the rainbow begging ritual came back."

"Eh...? Already...? I don't think they're still going around....."

Irina chewed her lips and shook her neck down.

"During the second ceremony... the Virgin cursed a witch. The ceremonial venue became noisy and returned to escape without interruption. The victimized witch... is now a corpse in the temple..."

Listening to Irina, we lost our words. Even if Sandra had attacked someone, I thought somewhere in my heart that it would be okay to secretly purify the black fog after I entered the temple as Irina's maid.

"Oh no....! Did you take another life...? Not only my mother, but now even a witch who has nothing to do with it....."

"The witch's letter, which accompanied me to the ritual on my behalf, said that the color of the dead witch's hair and eyes had shifted to the Virgin. Her abilities are triggered by emotion and jealousy, right?

I had a heartbeat.

Have Sandra's hair and eyes ever changed in color? At least Sandra, whom I know, has always had black hair and black eyes. It is the highest standard of beauty for the aristocracy of this country, so it is unlikely that she will let it go herself.

"Isn't she jealous of her brilliant blonde hair, her blue eyes reflecting the sky, and her unusual beauty?"

"I wonder...? I don't know what to say. Ah...! If there has been such a visible change, it is possible that the person has realized that they can deprive others of their beauty....."

"Yeah, I can't say no. Lord Irina, is the Virgin isolated in the temple?

Taki was angry that the person who had tortured him and his brother for many years was adding more victims. Besides, he took his life this time. This is no longer forgivable.

"On the grounds of the temple is a residence built for the Virgin. The caregivers are women gathered from the public, and as Lana suggested to the priest, visits should also be restricted in the future. So I don't think there will be any more victims."

"Um... Irina-sama. Does Sandra not go out alone, even though it is good to restrict the visit?

"I don't know now, but I don't think it was off-limits."

Irina was removed from the caretaker at an early stage, so she doesn't seem to know much about the details.

"Come on, you can't. What if we let those monsters go and there's more victims?"

"I see. The monster is too much, but Sin is right. Irina, would you please write to the Sheriff to keep the Virgin from going out?

"Yes, it should be quicker. We'll work on it soon. Um... Lana. I have one question for you."

"What is it?

"Lana has the power of a goddess, doesn't she?

"Yeah, well...."

"Is it possible to rain with that force?

Because it was an unexpected question, all the members here, led by me, were taken aback.

Sure, you can do it with water and a rich goddess, but I'm a normal person. I haven't tried it, but I don't think I can control the weather by myself.

"Um... Irina-sama, that's exactly what happened to me..."

"Lana, thank you for your patience. Will you take over the rain begging ritual? I think you can save the lives of hundreds of peasants."

Irina was serious. That seems to be the real purpose of coming here.

The day will come when it rains naturally, even if you leave it like this. But it's too late. Witches who can only pray to God, even if they are restless, carry the thoughts of people who believe in miracles and wait, and go to various places every year.

Irina was heartbroken when she thought about the people living in the abandoned countryside.

I want to do something for you, too.

But her request is in the realm of God. If I ask the goddess Linatemis, can you fulfill it? If it's possible, it might be worth a try.

It involves hundreds of lives. Let's try to get lost, even if it ends in vain.

"I see. But it will take a few days to get around, and you'll need to arrange a carriage and all sorts of preparations, so I'll give you a little time to leave."

"Ahh......! Thank you! Let me help you prepare for your trip."

I decided to accept Irina's request.

Then Weiss, who was resting at my feet, suddenly returned to his original size and moved to a slightly wider place to slowly spread his wings.

(Lana, don't worry about moving. I will carry you)

"Huh? Weiss... you don't want me to carry it on your back?

Everyone gathered here can see Weiss except Chiyo. But I was the only one who could hear you when you were a lion, so I was just trying to figure out what you were talking about with my words.

(If you run through the sky, it won't be long. If you leave early in the morning, you will be able to return to the preparation time.)

"Owner, what are you talking about with Weiss?

"Ah... you know, Weiss is taking me to the village. If we get out early in the morning, we can get back to work."

"... I see. I'm going, too. You're not going alone, are you?

Sin told me to go with him without any doubt. But I'm going alone. Weiss wasn't strictly alone with me, and I thought there was nothing wrong with it.

"I'm fine by myself. I'm not going to the ground, and there's nothing dangerous."

"That's how I let it go again. I'm coming, too. Weiss, are you sure?

Weiss nodded with cockroach.

"Hey, don't you have to just think about raining? The well in the village is not dead, there is no need to worry about drinking water. You have the power to grow plants with songs. If you move around singing in the hope of a good harvest, the crop will grow more than just rain, right?

"That's right... That's right. I certainly had the ability to help. Thank you, Sin."

Thanks to Sin's accurate advice, I was freed from strange pressures.

And the next morning, just for disguise, he put on a magical warrior costume that I had made for my hobby. It has a similar design to a knight's uniform and has a pure white cape that catches the wind.

It goes without saying that the size is perfect because I made it for Sin a long time ago. It has a large hat with wings, but I was refused because it was thrown by the wind.

I wore my usual travel healer costume.

"Well then, I'll go, Chiyo, Taki. Breakfast for the guests, please."

"Yeah, I can do it with Chiyo, so it's okay. Brother, Lana, come home safely."

"Sin, don't hold Lana tightly and drop her. Kufufu, that's a good excuse...."

"Ah? Did you say something? Chiyo"

Taki hid his mouth and smiled, and Chiyo ran away from Sin.

"Thin, Weiss is ready. Let's go."

Oh.

I was riding on Weiss's back with Singh, and I thought it was a different world and I was ready to move at once. I didn't expect it to go up into the sky from the backyard at an incredible speed.
