Shien obviously had no way of knowing about the things that happened elsewhere.
At this moment, Shien was still riding on Yulin along with the girls with him, currently flying in midair toward the direction of Cosmos.
He didn’t need to know the exact locations of Cosmos either. He just needed to know that it’s over in the north, so he just had Yulin fly north.
Since he knows the general direction, it wouldn’t be too hard to locate a city from high up in the air on Yulin.
There’s also the fact that Shien has the [Magic Detection] skill. Any location that is a gathering of a great quantity of magic energy sources are basically human cities, so here’s no need to worry about not being able to find their target, and they can simply fly north without much thought.
Of course, Shien not having detected anything doesn’t mean that no one else detected anything either.
Beatrice, who Lasha pulled into her lap, had raised her gaze at that moment. She returned to normal and returned her gaze back onto Shien afterwards though.
Since setting out from Jiltry, Beatrice’s gaze was locked onto Shien just like that the entire time. No one knew why though.
Lasha seemed to have noticed this, but she didn’t do anything about it either. She just continued to calmly and peacefully hold onto Beatrice.
As for Airi, she stopped nodding off and opened her eyes.
“Hmph.”
“What is it?”
Shien heard Airi’s humph and looked at her with a questioning gaze.
“It’s nothing.” Airi spoke without showing any emotion, “It’s just someone who doesn’t know their place doing something.”
“Someone who doesn’t know their place?” Shien didn’t understand what Airi meant and spoke with some dissatisfaction, “Can’t you speak a bit clearer? I seriously hate you big shots acting all vague and knowing just to scare us n00bs.”
Airi rolled her eyes at that.
Although she didn’t know exactly what a n00b is, Airi did know that it’s definitely not something that has any relation with Shien.
Thus, Airi didn’t want to bother explaining it at all.
“Don’t mind those insignificant matters. Just hurry up and dig out those Old Demon Faction pieces of shits and butcher them already. Then we can go back and have a nice nap.”
Airi looked annoyed. She obviously didn’t want to spend too much time on other matters.
“You’re a super cute li- beautiful lady, so can you not talk about killing all the time?”
Shien originally wanted to say “super cute little girl”, but then Airi glared at him, so he immediately changed his wording.
“Then what should I be saying?”
Airi looked annoyed with him.
Yet, Shien gave the following reply.
“Of course, what you should have said instead was to quickly pull all those cockroaches that only knows how to hid in the sewers out and then stomp them to death. Then we can go back and have a nice nap.”
Shien proper tone as he said that completely burst Airi’s bubble of anger.
“… Isn’t your way of putting it even more extreme?”
Airi had no words.
“What?” Shien instead objected, “For girls, they should let out a scream or two when they see a cockroach and then grab a slipper to smash them to death. That’s only normal. Stuff like rip apart or butcher aren’t words that girls should be using.”
Fine, your logic is impeccable.
Either way, Airi doesn’t want to debate this anymore.
“I’m going to sleep. Wake me when we’ve arrived.”
Airi thus lied down right on the dragon’s back, hugged her pillow to her, and got ready to go to sleep.
“You seriously got guts. To sleep on a dragon’s back.”
This time, Shien’s the one speechless.
To try to sleep at such a high altitude and while the mount is currently flying at high speeds at that. The chances of falling off are basically 100% here.
Although Yulin did use her magic power as a shield against the air, which made it so that the fierce wind during her flight won’t end up hitting her back, as well as the fact that she’s flying quite stably, this still isn’t a proper place to sleep.
Anyone else would definitely not dare to so something so suicidal.
Airi likely dared because she really was confident that she wouldn’t fall off the dragon’s back. It’s either that or the fact that she’d be completely fine even if she did fall off.
“Seriously.”
Shien resignedly reached out his hand and pulled Airi into his lap, allowing this little girl to sleep against him.
Airi opened her eyes, gave Shien a glance, and immediately shut her eyes against. She didn’t seem to dislike this.
No, rather, from the fact that the little girl in question had completely relaxed her body, it’s obvious she was instead actually quite satisfied with Shien’s action, right?
“Damned tsundere…”
Shien muttered those words in his head, but he didn’t dare to push things any further.
Otherwise, his own chances of getting tossed off the dragon’s back would also end up being 100%.
Just as Shien was thinking that, suddenly, another small figure also dove into his lap.
“Beatrice?”
Shien looked down in his lap with surprise.
