Riding on the back of a giant vulture named Cross, I rode in the early dawn sky. The half of the rising sun in the sky was as huge as a cruise ship within reach, and the clouds around the sun were orange, and the shimmering light penetrated through the clouds and glowed in my eyes.

But it's not the first time I've seen such a spectacle. And even at noon, with Ilotia's perverted abilities, I don't feel the sun is glaring when I look at it.

Now the master has unlocked my tenth-level ability. Recently I've gotten used to the feeling of killing over those days.

Unfortunately the master has read my inner minds again today, but it doesn't affect my normal mental activities. For so long, the master wouldn't mind what I'm thinking in my mind.

Cross speeds up the flight, so I cling to the feathers on the back of Cross. I suddenly feel that this big bird is really good, always willing to work. Every time Cross sends us to the destination, it has to wait until the master touches its feathers before leaving, which is considered the only reward for it.

I, who had been sitting on its back, had also become attached to it. Even though it was a huge animal covered in brown feathers, I unexpectedly found it cute.

And its feathers were strong and didn't come off because I grabbed them too hard.

Is this vulture a male or a female? I hadn't heard it either, but even if I had I wouldn't necessarily be able to tell its gender.

"Cross, slow down."

When I heard my master's voice, I came back to my senses and looked down sideways, and I was already near the Valan Mountain Range.

Cross was also obedient. Although it slowed down, it did not lower the flight altitude.

It wasn't scientific at all, but I didn't dwell on the science of the other world.

"Ilotia, try to sense it."

"Okay."

Concentrate on the mountains below to expand the range of perception, the tinkling of springs from the mountains, the calling of birds , the howling of beasts, the rustling of leaves and other kinds of sounds came to my ears, but I did not hear the human voice.

"Master, I can’t find it."

About five minutes passed before I relaxed myself.

In fact, focusing on something so much will cost a lot of mental energy. If I can’t focus enough, it is likely to ignore the key sound.

"Continue."

I helplessly unfolded the perception network again, so I remained in this state for a morning until the blazing sun was in the sky.

This carpet-like search was not only time-consuming, but was also mind-numbing. In order not to miss any subtle sound, I could only narrow my perception. Besides, I was flying in the sky, and there was still a certain distance from the ground. So my perception would be much discounted.

My whole body became very weak, hands trembling constantly. I have been about to grasp the Cross, and the Cross has not any tired look. It has been flying , stirring its wings.

Now I have just scouted less than one-fifth of the entire mountain range. If I continue in this way, the search may not be finished within today.

"Master, I can't hold on any longer."

I think the master must know that my body is in a state of exhaustion. If I continue, I will probably fall off Cross's back because I can't hold on to its feathers.

"Hold me and reconnoiter a little longer. The reinforcements brought by Nora and Vinales

will probably arrive at the Valan Mountain Range tomorrow, so we can't delay any longer. Hurry up and finish scouting the Valan Mountain Range and confirm the situation in the Valan Mountain Range."

So I dutifully hugged my master's waist , leaned my head on her back, pressed against her long dark red hair, and greedily breathed in the strong fragrance of her hair. I felt my master's body stiffen at my gentlemanly behavior, but I think she also knew that she had to indulge me for a while to keep me awake and turn me on.

My master grabbed my hands and clasped them to her abdomen. My face suddenly burned.

"Don't worry about falling off. You just concentrate on reconnaissance."

It turned out to be just to act as a fixation, and I closed my eyes at ease to fully engage in the perception net.
