“Come on.”

Emile rode on the staff.

"No."

I refused firmly.

"Eh? Why?"

Because getting too close to you will get hurt -

"Well ...... because I'm ...... afraid of heights?"

Yeah, no matter what she can't send a person who is afraid of heights into the sky, after all, she also has to take care of my feelings, right?

However ......

"Zizi"

A strange electric light emerged from Emile's eyes, and a hook of the staff underneath me abducted me to the front seat.

"It's okay!" She leaned her head on my shoulder and blew softly into my ear, "Let's ...... relax while we fly."

"Hey! Wait ......"

Emilee gently stepped on the ground and the staff quickly scampered up into the sky.

"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

What can I say......

I don't actually know am I ’afraid of heights or not.

Whenever I get to a high place, my brain goes blank and I have no idea what I'm doing.

For example, right now, my mind is left with only this very shallow and easy to understand logic.

--- high speed start --- blood backflow --- veins explode --- miserable death -

I subconsciously grabbed the smoothest thing around me - the fabric on Emilee's chest.

"Bare-la-"

I looked back at the mangled piece of fabric in my palm, I gulped, forgetting even the fear I felt high in the air.

"Yah~" Emile let go of the hands that controlled the staff and hugged me tightly in her arms, "Molly Ann so bold~"

"I... ...I didn't mean to do it, you ...... woohoo!!!"

With Emile that vanished rationality, strong wind pressure came to my face, and the staff kept trembling.

"Hey hey, Emile! Master Emile! Lord Emile! Watch the steering wheel, oh no ...... that! Your staff!!!"

- The magically dysfunctional staff clicked and broke in two-

"Wind ...... Wind Spirit!" Emile finally realized and several turquoise streaks of light emerged from around her body.

However, we also just stalled in the air for a moment, and then fell straight into the jungle beneath us ......

_ ----- ---------

The dense jungle filled with jumbles of tree branches, staggered and connected to the sky.

"Ahhh, I screwed up ......"

Emile hung in the treetops sadly, clasping hands to herforehead.

"Uh ......"

I tried to find an excuse to comfort her, "Actually ...... it's okay, we're not hurt yet either, and I don't have to ......"

"Hmm! Yeah!" Emilee immediately perked up, "These are small things! I don't care at all! It's only a ten day walk to Eleusis anyway!"

That’s too fast! Too fast to cheer up! You were faking your sadness just now, weren't you? Just to avoid responsibility, right? It's going to take ten days! Not a small problem, right?

Then...... how to go down next?

"Hey - shoo~"

Emile took a big leap.

"Hey! Wait ......"

Emile safe landing and looked up at me.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing ...... seven or eight meters from the ground you really dare to take a leap ......"

"Nothing, come here," Emile opened her arms, "Just jump, I will catch you."

"......"

"Don't be afraid," Emile took another big leap back to the treetops and held me in her arms, "I'll catch you ❤~ "

Since you guessed from the beginning that I was afraid to jump, don't jump first by yourself, okay ......

Shecarried me down from the tree, I helplessly broke away from her embrace and looked around at the environment.

The hot and humid air brings a wonderfully quiet fragrance, the sunlight penetrates the thick leaves of the dense forest, leaving dots of golden stars on the ground, a natural and beautiful natural weather.

"So, Emile, where should we go?"

"Towards the town."

She tried to hold my arm, but I stopped her.

"There's no way to go here."

"Then we'll go north."

"North in that direction?"

"......"

"...... Hey ...... "

"Go to ...... go that way ......"

Emile pointed sheepishly in one direction.

"Emile-er!!!"

Don't even mention the ten days journey thing yet, you don't even know the way!

"Wait wait wait," she picked up a fallen leaf and chanted the incantation, "landulier-sukerapoer-......"

Her body began to surrounded by a white glow and gradually spread to the leaf.

Emilee let go of her hand and the fallen leaves spun a few times and floated to her left, the glow disappearing.

"Go this way."

Emile pointed firmly to the left.

"Wayfinding magic?"

"No, this is magic that makes people lucky."

"......" I smiled and I followed Emile's steps, "I didn't think there was even a wayfinding magic."

"It's a lucky magic."

"Yah yah, there's actually a 'wayfinding magic'! Magic is really convenient."

"This is ......"

"Okay, okay! I got it! I guessed this would happen! What an unreliable other world! The wrong gender is not enough, but even the initial map does not let me go out ah! Let my adventure end in a lost and lonely way!"

"No," Emile firmly leaned on my side, "even if we die, I will be die next to you."

"Could you give me a different kind of comfort ...... like with me we will be able to walk out or something."

"Well, we can definitely walk out of here."

...... suddenly felt like I must not be able to walk out ......

I broke off a branch and gouged out the wood core to just the bark.

"Nah, Emile, help me make a few holes in this. Here, and here ......"

"Hmm? Musical instruments?"

Emile took the model I snapped out with one hand and snapped her fingers with the other hand.

Searing hot flames appeared in the air out of nowhere and turned into thin arrows shooting towards the bark. The thin bark of the tree was burned to ashes. ......

I helplessly drew two leaves from the bush beside me.

Then again, it's been a while since I've blown a leaf.

I walked toward the direction Emile's Lucky leaves were pointing and tried to blow the lilting and visceral tune deep in my memory.

"A very sad tune."

Emile commented.

"Yeah," I sighed with a pale look in my eyes, "it's called 'Dare to Ask Where the Road Leads'."
