Chapter 165 Peaceful Days
"Then we won't need to."
After a brief hesitation, Hikari shook her head and declined my suggestion: "I was just curious, so I asked casually."
"Instead of that, let's look at what this letter says."
As she spoke, she showed the letter that had been brought along by the hunting dog but had been temporarily forgotten due to the chaos earlier. Unexpectedly, the little fool accepted it.
I peeked out from under her clothes, and even without directly seeing the handwriting, I could tell from the simple folding of the paper and the lingering scent that it was a letter sent by Yao from inside the miniature garden.
A few days ago, when we consulted about how to remove the transformation spell on us, we sent a letter to Yao and entrusted a hunting dog that could still travel freely even under these circumstances to deliver it. Unexpectedly, not long after receiving the previous reply, Yao sent another letter. We wonder what urgent matter it is.
Fearing the possibility of unexpected attacks, and also to conserve energy, the Pegasus flew at a height only slightly above the treetops. Even with the gentle breeze from the flapping of their wings, the whistling wind was still swift and chaotic, making even the simple act of flattening a letter difficult.
I thought for a moment, then stretched out my claws and used the wind-blown fibers in front of me to weave a small, transparent shield. I then shaped it so that the middle section protruded slightly and the two ends were slightly tilted.
As I suspected, this design successfully prevented the shield from being directly hit by the chaotic wind, allowing it to be diverted to the left and right sides by the angle of inclination, blowing towards the Pegasus's wings that needed to feel the wind and support. This also made the Pegasus's flight much lighter and faster.
The letter paper, no longer affected by the strong wind, was finally laid flat, allowing us to glimpse its contents.
As before, the letter, written in beautiful handwriting, contained little content.
Sorry to bother you when you were having so much fun.
If it's convenient, could you go to the border near the Crimson Flame Lands to assist Hui, who is trapped there? The specifics are unclear; it seems he's encountered some trouble.
And, if possible, I hope to return soon.
Thanks to recent help from some old acquaintances, the basic restoration work on the outer walls of the sandbox is nearing completion.
However, at some unknown moment, something inexplicable happened outside the miniature garden, and attempts to determine the cause failed to provide an explanation.
[We hope the master of the miniature garden can return soon to confirm.]
I blinked: "Big Sister... I remember you said you went to the Crimson Flame Land with the Flower Fairy to find the missing materials. Did you accidentally run into the local fire-worshipping cultists? Also, did something happen to the Little Garden?"
The former is manageable. Although Lena is often unreliable, she should be able to protect herself with the Flower Fairy by her side. Besides, we've already started heading south, so whether we go due south or slightly southwest is the same. It just means we'll have to hurry on the journey ahead to avoid missing the rendezvous.
As for the miniature garden... Although I did entrust Yao to oversee the repair of the outer walls of the miniature garden before leaving home, and I had been working hard to repair the damage, I didn't expect to hear that it was nearing completion so soon. It hasn't even been a little over a week!
Moreover, Yao's old acquaintances... I've asked about them before during casual conversations, but like Yao's own spellcasting techniques, these seem to be topics that can't be touched upon for the time being, so I haven't brought them up again. I didn't expect her to suddenly bring it up this time; the other person's existence seems to be shrouded in mystery, which makes me quite curious.
However, the fact that some unexplained incidents occurred outside the Little Garden makes me feel like something ominous might be going wrong. Of course, it's also possible that the Bride of the Abyss can't sense me in the void, so she's wandering around the Little Garden where my presence is strongest—that girl occasionally does this kind of eccentric behavior.
Fortunately, there have been no warnings of the sandbox being invaded or damaged so far. Hopefully, nothing bad will happen in the future.
Hikari, after reading the letter from beginning to end, looked somewhat worried: "Lena, is everything alright? And what about Mr. Yumi's miniature garden...?"
"Since Yao didn't urge us to rush over immediately, it means that even if some unexpected things happen, it won't immediately lead to an irreversible situation in a short period of time."
I reached out and patted the back of her hand that was resting on her chest: "You [Xi Guang] have been traveling together for so long, you should have confidence in Yao's way of doing things and the big sister's abilities, right? Besides, Yao didn't let An go directly to the big sister, which means that things are not so urgent that we need to help immediately."
"Maybe we'll find out that we just got lost on the red sand, or maybe we've discovered some large underground ruins and need someone to help us move some precious artifacts and documents."
"You believe them, right?"
Hikari nodded, her expression instantly brightening.
I paused, then pulled my head back: "As for the little garden, you don't need to worry about it at all."
“That was, after all, a spell I cast. Although it has now left my hand and become an independent entity, it is still my spell. If anything happens, I will still know immediately.” I pointed my claw into the air again. “Even if there are magical turbulences in the mountains now, this sense will continue.”
