I don't know how long it took. when I was about to feel desperate an wanted to give up, I finally heard human voices. I heard that many people gathered in one place talking. That must be the human garrison camp.

I opened my eyes in great joy, fortunately I did not give up and did not miss it.

"Master, I found it."

"Well, I got it."

Although I roughly located where the humans were, I didn't dare to completely relax my mind and body. But after distracting myself from feeling my body, I realized that fine beads of sweat emerged from my forehead. It was the first time I had ever sweated since I came to this world.

The sun had reached its fiercest temperature, when it was about two o'clock in the afternoon.

My master's body was also hot. I was surprised to find that she was sweating much more than I was, and the sweat coming out of her back was soaking through my skirt.

Do I sweat so much even if I fly in the sky? But why is the wind so light? If the wind was stronger I wouldn't be sweating so much. Now I'm flying on Cross' back, why is the wind not strong?

The next second the master answered my doubts.

"In order to let you concentrate on reconnaissance, I used magic to create a space where the air doesn't flow so fast but is equivalent to that of the ground."

Suddenly a large amount of wind rushed in. My consciousness just had a concept of cold. I did not feel discomfort, which is also the ability of Ilotia, super adaptability.

But just the moment the wind rushed in, I felt my master's body shivered, and her skin was dotted with goose bumps.

It turns out I wasn't the only one who had a hard time. The master probably even had a harder time than I did.

But my master's discomfort didn't last long before she returned to her original state, except that our tightly pressed bodies were a little uncomfortably wet. My hands and feet were floppy but my master couldn't let go of my hands.

"It's just around here, isn't it?"

"Yeah."

If I land on here, I think I can find the camp where the human army is.

"Cross, go down."

The big bird obediently swooped toward the ground. I made sure I could sense the location of the humans all the time. Cross landed in a wood with evergreen leaves, and blew a small patch of woods down for it to land on .

My master took my arm and jumped off of Cross, vaguely feeling the softness in front of my master...

"Ah!"

Suddenly the master broke my arm with force. If not for the protection ability of the ten layers, my bones would have broken.

When my master threw me aside, I swayed and leaned against a nearby large tree that hadn't been blown over. A faint red light emanated from the master, and I could feel the master's clothes have become dry.

I dried my clothes in the same way as my master did, but I emitted a faint blue light. My skirt that was stained the sweat by my master also became dry, but the aroma of the master's body still remained above, so that I am a little trance. I thought the master's sweat may be also fragrant.

No, I can’t think something dirty. I must focus on perceiving the human camp. I have been recently indulged by my master so I approached her with some recklessness. I can't forget that she is the one who makes me become her slave.

But the master did not have any reaction to my just rebellious inner thought. She just slowly walked towards Cross.

Cross did not fly away after being touched by her master, but sat quietly on the ground with its eyes closed, as if it was resting.

"Cross is also very tired."

The master stood next to Cross and gently stroked its feathers.

Is it very tired? I can't see any change in the expression of this big bird.

"You can tell by the look in its eyes."

I looked at the master's back, and can't help but slightly sigh. Even if I'm strong to fly through the sky, I can capture even the smallest details. But I can't read other people's feelings. For example, I can’t read the inner feelings of Cross. Only if getting along with Cross for a long time together will be there tacit agreement just looking at each other. It seems that Ilotia is not perfect either.
