Chapter 330: Edge of the World
330 – Edge of the World
The wind feels pleasant as it blows past me. Looking behind, I see the forest I left far away, shrinking into the distance. It’s the first time I’m able to fly to my heart’s content like this.
I left the Lithovar village without a destination in mind. The Lithovars don’t know much about the area outside their forest, and thinking about it now, I regret not spending more time learning this world’s geography from Adofu.
But at my current flight speed, I can fly far above human lands. It might be easier to find a place to live than I thought.
Even though I haven’t got a destination in mind, there’s one thing that I have decided. That is to show myself above human settlements as I fly. That should divert the attention of those who would go after the Lithovars to me. I did ask the 『Starved Hunters』 beastman swordfighter, Nell, to report about me, but this makes doubly sure.
I see streets far below. The humans are only visible as dots, but I wonder how I look to them. Are they screaming and pointing at me?
『Hey, that thing’s gonna fall.』
My partner says, and I finally realise that the claw that I’m gripping the treant with has grown slack. Inside my claw, its branches are rustling in fright. S-sorry sorry… For that matter, isn’t that a bit of a cruel way to refer to it?
She glares at the treant as though asking why I brought it along. I look away, pretending not to notice.
