The Human Saint is Bored, so I was Summoned to Another World

Breakdown (Part 2)

Ah...yes, so that's the experience of 'Teleport'. When Maddie first used that spell on me, I wasn't able to focus on its effects since I was trying to hurry towards Lily, back when I mistook she was about to jump from the roof before. But now that everything's relaxed, I could tell that using teleport was something that one should take time to get used to.

I mean, it seemed cool at a glance. However, you'd feel woozy and dizzy if you're not that well-acquainted with its effects.

It took me quite some time before I could get hold of myself. Fortunately, I didn't throw up, or it'll be embarrassing for Maddie.

"You alright?" I heard her ask me.

I silently nodded.

"Whew!" Maddie then chuckled, "I almost got caught!"

"Hm? Got caught? By whom?"

"Lily."

"Lily?" I was surprised about that, "Why? Did you do something wrong with her?"

"Hmm...not really." Maddie had a mischievous smile on her, "As I've said before, she's getting restrictive towards me lately. She kept on forbidding things around me, like eating too much, or staying up late to read books."

"Isn't that right? I mean, those are good things to do."

"Well, of course, it is." Maddie pouted, "But what ticked me off is that Lily forbid me to see you."

"Ha? Why?"

"Well, I know that she's annoyed at you." Her Holiness dropped that nonchalantly, "But other than that, I can think of nothing else."

"Err...do you know the reason?"

"Uhm...well, I do...but, I doubt I should tell it to you..."

"Please!"

"Whoa! Calm down, Mister!" Maddie laughed, "I think Lily's the best person to tell her problems to you, so you guys can talk it out."

Ah...yes, indeed she is. But she won't talk to me.

"I'm working on it." Her Holiness told me, "So please bear with her for a while. Lily's heart is as fragile as mine, just like other girls. But I'm sure she doesn't want to hate you; I mean, she's like that because—" Maddie quickly stopped her mouth from speaking by covering it.

"Because...?"

The Saint shook her head furiously, and won't tell me anything about that. She just ended her talk with, "Just wait for Lily to talk to you."

Well, I guess that did it. It lifted the heavy feeling in my chest, even if it's just for a little.

----------

Silence ruled between us after that...

"..."

When Maddie teleported me, I didn't expect that we'd eventually appear some place outside the Holy Palatial Gardens. I didn't know where this was; all that I could say was that this place where we arrived was beautiful and relaxing.

"..."

Maddie and I just stared at the wide, grassy plain in front of us, occasionally interrupted by a few trees. The azure sky met with the green horizon far from where we stood, and the gentle blow of the wind made me forget my worries for a while.

I don't know such a place existed in this world.

"Haaa..." I heard Maddie stretched out. It's been a while since I saw her this happy; I mean, her face was bright once again, compared to what she looked before.
