Chapter 60 – Wyvern’s flight in a good mood

I was helping with reconstruction work in a corner of the city center of Sutrena, a frontier town.

A few days had passed since the new moon, but the damage was less than I had expected, and except for the residential area around the mansion, the rest of the town was unaffected by the magical beasts.

Everyone says that the damage in the past was incomparable to this, so Lord Nazel's countermeasures against magical beasts must have worked.

Lord Nazel and Mr. Henry gave instructions, and people under their command moved in a flurry.

Torre also became huge and took on the task of carrying the debris. He is very useful to the people on the frontier. With just one of him, the work time was greatly reduced.

I work steadily near Lord Nazel, focusing on strengthening buildings and roads.

While working, I asked Lord Nazel about a question that occurred to me.

"Sutrena is the main territory affected by magical beasts compared to other territories, isn't it? Even though it is not only our territory that faces the forest, ...... do the other territories take any special measures?"

Lord Nazel looks at me with his amber eyes kindly narrowed. When I see my beloved Lord Nazel, I still can't stop my heart from pounding.

He kindly answers my simple questions.

"I looked in the archives but couldn't find any information on it. So I'm going to do a survey of the area facing the forest and the adjacent territories. It seems that no official has ever gone to the site before. Henry also moved to investigate, but it seems that the nobles who lived in the area are obstructing him because of the hassle involved. Well, it's not close to the center of town, and it would be a hassle for the locals to arrange a place to stay or ...... something like that."

"Oh my. So, this time it is on Lord Nazel's purview?"

"That's what I mean. We can't leave the damage unattended."

Lord Nazel was banished, but he is a high-ranking nobleman, isn't he?

"I'd like to go, too. I can help you with magic."

"Agnes? Indeed, your magic has always helped me, but..."

I looked into Lord Nazel's eyes, and gradually his face began to turn red.

I'm not sure if he was ...... embarrassed or not.

I felt a kind of embarrassment, both happy and ashamed of myself.

"All right, I'll talk to Henry about it. In return, you can't be away from me or Torre, okay?"

"Of course. I won't do anything dangerous."

"...... you went out on your own on the night of the new moon, didn't you?"

"Ugh."

"I was extremely worried, but I know you helped an injured man."

Lord Nazel gently drops a kiss on my cheek.

"But don't be reckless, okay?"

"Um, Lord Nazel, people are watching."

There are a lot of people here working on the reconstruction work.

I thought it wasn't right to make out under such circumstances...... but everyone was looking at me and Lord Nazel with a smile.

"It's nice that you and your wife are getting along so well."

"I hope you two will stay in Sutrena for a long time."

The interaction between me and Lord Nazel has become official. I was very embarrassed, but Lord Nazel seemed happy.

The first thing I did was to go to a place close to the frontier forest to investigate the damage and the cause of the damage when the reconstruction was over.

After some time, Lord Nazel and I, Henry, Torre and Kelly, and a few officials and soldiers rode together on the cavalry beasts to the outskirts of Sutrena.

The weather was clear and a pleasant breeze was blowing. It looks like it will be a particularly uneventful road trip.

Lord Nazel and I will ride on the wyvern Jenni, and the rest will ride on the pegasi.

We are going to the town of Cattena, a settlement located northeast of Sutrena. To the east is a forest, and to the north are the territories of Zazam and Hihim. The Zazam territory is closer to the forest.

Cattena is located right next to the forest and Zazame territory, with a small forest in between serving as the boundary line between the two territories.

Incidentally, I am the one steering the wyvern today.

Jenni is happy to be away from home for the first time in a long time, and he has been in a good mood since a few minutes ago, and he can't stop spinning.

"Wah, sorry. Lord Nazel ...... Jenni got so excited."

"I'm having a good time, and besides, I can stay with Agnes like this."

"Hyah!"

Yes, while spinning and flying, we are even closer to each other than we are during a normal flight.

Lord Nazel seemed to be having a lot of fun.
