Chapter 52
"What are you talking about? Of course, it\'s bad."
"Umm, you know what? Sheryl Laura-san, when you make a request at the Adventurer\'s Guild, they check your identity. If Sheryl Laura-san had made the request, there would have been a big fuss, and she would have been caught."
"We\'ll be fine. If I call the spirits, they can take care of a human or two."
Sheryl Laura-san says it smugly, but it\'s different, that\'s not it.
What on earth am I supposed to do with her? She\'s completely out of touch with common sense.
"Not one or two, but ten or a hundred will come."
"Oh my. I\'ve heard stories, but do humans really want to catch elves that badly?"
"Umm, well, some people are like that, but that\'s not the case. It\'s because Sheryl Laura-san is a suspicious person here. How in the world did you get into town?"
"Hmm? I went in through the gate as usual, okay? I didn\'t get stopped, you see?"
Hey! Gatekeeper! Nice, but do your work properly!
"Well, that\'s okay. For the time being, let\'s go to the summer festival. I didn\'t need to pay for the commission, because you took care of me, and I didn\'t want to get found too."
"Then, let\'s go together! immediately!"
"Instead, please allow me to take Anna-sama with us. Or rather, without Anna-sama, Sheryl Laura-san won\'t be able to leave the town. She\'ll be stopped at the gate."
"But this little girl is not your wife, is she?"
"However, I can\'t just have her go with us to the gate and be done with it."
"Hmph? Right, that\'s what Allen thinks."
Sheryl Laura-san moved her gaze slowly between me and Anna. Then gave a small sigh with a slightly disappointed expression and said something outrageous.
"Then, should I pass it by as your fiancé?"
"fi, fi, fiancé …"
Anna froze. (TL:- this interaction will be a sugar overdose in her POV.)
Umm, no, yes, let\'s not even think about it. I don\'t want my head to physically fly off.
"Then, please do that. Umm, Anna-sama? If you don\'t mind, would you like to go with us to the elf village? We\'ll find out more about the adventurers later."
"Eh? Oh, oh, Ohh!"
That\'s how I managed to get out of this situation, and took Anna back to the Duke\'s residence. I don\'t know how she did it, but she came back in a flash with permission to stay out overnight.
Then, with Anna\'s face pass, we slipped out of the gate for the nobles and headed for the Lurden Airport in the northeast forest.
****
"Hey, Allen, what is with this place? Why is there this straight, open space in the middle of the forest?"
Ana said this with a surprised look on her face as we arrived at the airport.
"This is my secret base. The only person who has been here, is you, Anna-sama, so please keep this to yourself."
"Oh, ohh. It\'s just me, is it?"
For some reason, Anna looked somewhat happy when she said that.
"Yes. Then, I\'m going to get ready, so please wait here."
I said so and carried Buitor out of the underground hangar.
"What? From the ground?"
"It\'s a skill I have. I didn\'t know what would happen if I made it public, so I kept it a secret."
"Oh, I see, ……. secret, is it? Alright!"
"Yes. And before I go any further, please do not go wild. Also, since it\'s originally a single-seater, I\'m going to tie you both up with a rope to secure you. Is that okay?"
"Of course. I\'m looking forward to flying on that."
"Fly? What on earth are you saying …… No, it\'s Allen, so he can do something like that. Okay, I\'ll prepare myself."
Once they agreed, I tied them to Buitor.
"Oh, um, Allen? Why am I tied up like this? Maybe this?"
"I\'ve thought about it a lot, but I don\'t think I can get a good balance other than this."
"H-Hey, Allen. Isn\'t getting overloaded? And that, close, aren\'t you too close?"
"I\'m sorry. But other than this, it doesn\'t seem to be stable, so please bear with me. Then off we go."
I start the wind magic engine and use full power to levitate Buitor vertically.
I lay face down to steer, and Ana lay down so that her face was around my waist. Anna\'s ample breasts were hitting my buttocks and thighs, which was a perk, but…….
"Hiiiiiiii. I knew it."
And Sheryl Laura-san, who was screaming, was suspended in midair. Just like I did when I carried the Orc before, I put ropes through the hooks that were for luggage suspension and hang Sheryl Laura-san in a suspended state.
"A-Allen! Amazing! It\'s amazing! And fast! What on earth is happening?"
The Buitor accelerated quickly, gaining altitude, and then I heard Anna\'s excited voice coming from around my back.
"It is similar to the way a piece of paper is blown away by the wind. It is also an application of wind magic."
It\'s not true, but no matter how much I tell them about lift, they\'ll never understand.
"Hey, the royal capital and the royal castle is so small already!"
"Yes. It takes about 4 hours to fly to the Elven Village. We should arrive just as the sun is setting."
By the way, Sheryl Laura-san, who was supposed to be hanging, was quiet. But, I can feel her weight, so it\'s not like she fell.
"I see, as I thought you are amazing, Allen."
I felt Anna rest her head on my back as she whispered in a calm voice.
I trust you, it\'s as if she is telling me so. I felt Anna\'s weight and warmth, and at the same time, my heart was pounding and filled with something warm and fuzzy inside.
Oh, I see.
I am…….
I really like Anna.
At first, the only reason was that I felt sorry for the character in the game.
And when my memories of my previous life came back, I had a light-hearted hope that I could have a chance with the "villainess" while helping my mother.
I\'m ashamed!
I want to hit myself of that time when I was thinking about such a thing. Isn\'t this the same as that of Amy!
Anna is Anna.
Just as my mother and I are not characters in a game, Anna is naturally a person too.
She is a very hard worker and has a strong sense of responsibility, and desperately work hard for it even if it kills her.
But the truth is that she\'s shy, she\'s not good at expressing her emotions, she\'s clumsy, but when she\'s having fun, she smiles and laughs wonderfully.
Before I knew it, I fell in love with that Anna. (TL:- Finally, he has realised his feelings. But still, I like Anna\'s one.)
By no means I was supposed to like her.
With us like that, boarded, the Buitor glided effortlessly through the high summer sky.
