CH 253

I can see the bamboo buildings in Putaresque.

Through our bond, Seilook thought to come meet me at the entrance of the dungeon, so I rode it as we sneakily exited Sototo and made our way directly to Putaresque.

Lily is still unconscious, and I have no idea what will happen to her character now that the ‘Third Seat of Immorality’ is dead, but I wanted to avoid going to her territory in Sototo because I figured it could be dangerous.

That said, my body is reaching its limit, as I’ve been flying at a high altitude with Seilook day and night.

Every time I start feeling bad, I drink various kinds of potions and recover, but the exhaustion from fighting the ‘Third Seat of Immorality’ that I can’t seem to be able to shake off is taking a toll on my body.

Every time I feel myself nodding off on Seilook’s saddle, Rose supports me so I don’t fall off.

I thank it for its help, and make a mental note to take extra good care of the tip of its vines as a thank you after things calm down.

Speaking of Rose, Lily’s body is fixed in place behind me and completely wrapped in its vines, with only the face showing.

I peek behind me, and see she still hasn’t woken up. I heard her make noise a few times, but in the end, she slept the whole way here.

Seilook on the other hand is full of energy, despite carrying us the whole way. I’d even say it seems like it’s in a good mood.

Could it be that flying for several days is actually just normal for its species, and Seilook was just lacking in exercise? Could it be because of the potion with the highest concentration of magic elements that I gave it?

I gave Seilook what was left, and its eyes sparkled with joy as it drank it in one gulp, before flying around doing acrobatics.

I was close to falling off the saddle, but thankfully, Rose was there to secure me to the saddle, so all that happened was that I was left with my eyes spinning.

Did that also make me even more tired?

As I think about things that I’m too late to do anything about, I see the streets of Putaresque.

People see Seilook approaching, and start coming out of buildings one after the other and looking up.

Is that Kalin? Roa and Ahri are also there. Everyone from the Kagero Institute too. Everyone looks good…

My eyes start feeling heavy as I see them look up at me.

Oh… I’m feeling safe and…

Seilook lands smoothly, and my vision starts falling to the side.

I feel something catching me. It’s Rose’s vines. I can feel it gently bringing me down from Seilook’s back.

I see people running this way, with someone with bright red hair leading the way.

And as if a string that was supporting it had been cut, my consciousness fades.
