Book 15: Chapter 2 (4)
“Okay, now that the terms of our alliance have been set, let’s teleport.”
Shin waited for Lina to stop crying, then made preparations for the teleportation. She seemed a bit embarrassed to have lost control, so her face was still red.
“Teleport?”
“Yeah, it’s a secret technique that allows you to go to a faraway place instantly. It’s attached to this crystal. With this, we can go to Lanapacea in a second. We’d stand out if we used it in an open space, so we waited till we reached a more secluded place, like here.”
“So that’s why we went to a forest. I was wondering what was going on….er, sir.”
Lina awkwardly turned up the politeness of her tone. She seemed to have suddenly noticed that she was speaking casually.
“I am sorry, I was a bit out of it.”
“That’s all right. I’m just a no-name adventurer, so feel free to speak as you like. You only need to worry about that when there are other people around.”
Shin made up the fact that it would be bad if a World Tree priestess addressed him too politely and told Lina to adopt a more casual tone. They would be fighting together to heal the World Tree and bring down the Luderia clan head, so he honestly didn’t want her to treat him with such restraint.
