And then, five days passed

All right, were landing!

It was dusk, and the sky was dyed in the color of twilight. Lahti, who was at the helm of the Flygear Carrier, carried out his command, landing the aircraft in an open space. Over the past few days, the area around the encampment had been cleared and leveled, so they had no shortage of places to land.

In the encampment, everyone was busily going about, seeing to their respective tasks.

And from a place afar, Lahti could hear the sound of battle buzzing.

All right, everyone, good work. Lets load up the last cargo that we will carry tomorrow and call it a day.

Understood, Your Highness! You heard that?! Start working your hands!

Yes!

Sir yes sir!

Leave it to us!

In response to Lahtis call, Luwin gave the order. The Knights who escaped Lekrea though calling them Prince Lahtis personal Knights sounded more appropriate now responded with a lively smile.

When they went around distributing the Dragon God meat to the people in the surrounding towns using the Flygears and Flygear Carrier, the people were all elated and grateful. Some of them even broke into tears when they found out that it was Prince Lahti who had brought food to them personally.

And when the Knights witnessed such a scene, a newfound sense of fulfillment was reflected in their faces.

Leone is cutting the meat again, right?

She is cute, isnt she? She even comes to greet us every day. You know what, Ill be the one to see her first today!

I prefer Liselotte, shes such a high ranking young lady, I love her.

If thats what were talking about, then Inglis is the cutest of all. I mean, everyone is cute, but she stands out from the rest!

Well, thats not wrong, buther manner of conduct are just out of this world

I know, right? She is incredibly cute, but shes far beyond the scope of any human understanding

Tell me about it. Leone and the other girls are still much in the realm of human understandings compared to her.

The Knights hopped off the Carrier to collect tomorrows cargo as they conversed amongst themselves. Rafinha, who was aboard, looked a bit disgruntled as she watched over them.

The steering itself could be done by Lahti, but the power source of the Flygear Carrier needed to be supplied by mana through the Rune. Today, it was Rafinhas turn to be the supplier.

S-, sorry about that. You listened to something weirdTheyre just unreserved, so

Theyre only afraid to say your names since youre nearby, but they usually speak about you too, dont let it offend you.

No, well, thats true, but thats not the problem here, Luwin.

I-, is it not? Forgive me, Your Highness.

Rafinha sighed when she listened to the exchange between Lahti and Luwin.

No, thats not it. Im not the one whos supposed to do this. You know what that means, right?

Nn? A-, aahyeah, I know

Its not that Rafinha didnt want to help, she just thought that this wasnt her role. Everyone agreed that Lahti would be the one to step forward and show support to the surrounding towns.

By doing so, Lahti would gain the trust of the people and his fame would consequently become his political strength. As Inglis said, people of Charalia like her and the other girls shouldnt be on the forefront, so its better to have Lahti take the credit and fame. Rafinha thought it was good, too. She didnt mind helping out as the power supply for the Flygear Carrier. She was happy she could see the joy on the faces of the townspeople as they circled around the towns and villages.

The scar supposedly left by the Prisma and Tiffany the Hyrule Menace was deep, but everyone, with Lahti in the middle, would be able to move forward as one. Having such a mindset was amicable. And yet, there was one thing Rafinha wasnt happy with.

Welcome back, everyone! How were the towns?

Ah. Pullum! Yeah, were back. Everyone was so happy!

I see, thats great to hear! Were loading the cargo for tomorrow, right? Let me help!

Yup, lets do it together!

She couldnt say much since the person in question was right in front of her, but what Rafinha wanted to say was concerning Pullum. Normally, it should have been Pullum who took the role Rafinha did today. Pullum was an Alucardian citizen, so it was better to have her in the lead than Rafiha or the other girls.

But Pullums older brother is Hallim. Hallim was an Alucardian noble and a capable administrative officer, and yet he was bewitched by Tiffany and became a Highlander, trampling down the area as her right arm.

Because of that, Pullum said she couldnt possibly face the townspeople, so she stayed in the encampment to do odd tasks instead of going out for the rescue.

Rafinha, personally, couldnt possibly say it sat well with her.
