Book 5: Chapter 75
It took way less time to return to Zackerhafen by flying through the sky. Well, even in Japan, where railroads and highways are widespread, air flights are overwhelmingly faster. It is a tremendous technological innovation in this world if you think about it…

We arrived at dawn. The madder red sunshine dyed the grassland red like fire.
The magic airship temporarily landed at the suburbs of the port town. With the engine still running, Asha, Matvey-san, and I quickly got down from the airship.
Matvey-san, however, is planning to return to the Sylvis Kingdom right away, it seems. He had borrowed the airship on unreasonable terms and the fuel was barely enough.
「Matvey onii-sama, thank you very, very much for everything. Please forgive me for leaving so soon again.」
「It’s alright, Asha. Take care of yourself.」
「Yes……」
The high elf brother and sister hugging each other was very picturesque. The elves, part of the crew of the magic airship, seemed to be impressed by the sight.
