The wind is bitterly cold in the city surrounded by mountains . Moreover, the girl is only wearing a thin one piece . It was inevitable that she would feel a chill in her skin .
Veena uses magic to protect against the cold, raising her body temperature . There’s nothing you can’t do with magic . It’s basically second nature to her now .
(This is troublesome . )
Veena sighed .
Her breath turns into steam the moment it leaves her mouth .
As it did, Sylph crawled down from her shoulder and wrapped itself around her waist .
Maybe he’s trying to warm her up?
As Veena stroked Sylph’s head, she could see several dozen people ahead of her .
(A lot of them have already gathered, it seems . )
Like Veena, they’re all hunters whose profession is to subjugate monsters .
(Seems like I’m a little late . )
Even if she realized it, she didn’t rush and kept walking towards them at a leisurely pace .
“You’re late . ”
It was Miss Gremlin who noticed her first, the public relations manager for the hunters of the Takrath region and a person who was the very image of the rustic woman .
“Ah, I’m sorry . ”
“Honestly…”
Gremlin crossed her arms in a way that emphasized her chest, and glared . A man walked up to them .
“Yo, you two . Good mornin’ . ”
It’s Kenkar .
“…Morning . ”
“…Morning . ”
“Don’t get close to me, you piece of shit . ”
“Wow, that’s really hurtful, Linny . ”
Even though both of them seemed to view him with disgust, Kenkar approached the two without a care .
Linny must be his pet name for Gremlin .
These two seem to be quite familiar with eachother .
“We’re working together today, so let’s all get along! Okay?”
Kenkar is a B-Rank Hunter . In this town, he’s easily the most capable person apart from Veena and Yua .
The rank system determines primacy over who gets to accept monster hunting contracts first . It’s only natural . Miscellaneous chores such as clearing up the mess after a monster hunt can be left to low ranking hunters .
Therefore, he usually took the lion’s share of hunting jobs in town .
But this time, even Kenkar is getting involved in the clean up operation . The damage was so extensive that Miss Gremlin, the head of public relations, couldn’t simply ignore it and got a lot of people involved .
Veena looked up at the range, and saw there was a gap where a mountain once lay . It was erased without a trace because of the dragon’s breath . Also, there are various other damages caused by the dragon that the hunters have been tasked with clearing away .

Veena answered Kenkar with a “I really don’t like it . ”, and Gremlin also answered with a “That’s right . Who would ever want to get chummy with you?”
“You two are pretty mean, y’know . I don’t have any ulterior motives, honestly . ”
That’s not the problem . They simply do not want to be friends, they are incompatible as human beings .
Thinking but not saying that, Veena walked away from Kenkar .
Watching her as she left, Kenkar gave a troubled shrug .
Even on horseback, it was a long journey for the Lafallian Knights in Aria’s troop .
(My butt is sore… I wish I could just use transmission magic to get there faster . )
One of them, Vice-Captain Leena of the Aria Squad, looks at the back of her Captain as she’s getting rocked around on the saddle of her horse .
(It’s useless . That woman isn’t flexible at all, she wouldn’t allow me to leave the unit for any reason . )
Leena sighed .
(It’s useless . That woman isn’t flexible at all, she wouldn’t allow me to leave the unit for any reason . )
Leena sighed .
(I wish I could use a variety of magic just as well as sister can, but that’s beyond me… Ah, my butt really hurts . )
She tried various ways of riding to relieve the pain, but in the end it just made her feel even more uncomfortable on her long distance ride .
(…I hope I can see you again, sister . I miss you . )
As she’s wondering too herself, Aria spoke the words “Pick up the pace” into the magical watch on her wrist .
As the magic took hold, Aria’s horse began to speed up . It spread, speeding up Leena’s horse and all the horses in the rear .
“Ah… I just want to use transmission already . Anything to get me off this horse . ”
Even if Leena thinks it, she doesn’t let the expression appear on her face . They are heading to the city of Takrath . Over 2,000 kilometers away . If she was alone, she could make that distance instantly, with a horse it would require multiple stops . Of course, it’s not something she can use to transport an entire squadron of mounted knights .
(And now I’m feeling hungry… Ha…)
It was in that way, and with many internalized complaints, that Leena and the rest of the Aria Squad journeyed on .
