This is the official start of Arc 5.5! We're off to a great beginning, and we went past 110K a while ago! Let's keep it up!
Y/N POV
Everything feels so much better.
It was 7 days after the Battle of Priestella, and the official end of Arc 5. Everything went according to plan, and we even have all the things we need to move on. We don't even need to worry about Arc 6 for now, since we decided we were going to the Watchtower in 7 days.
So I decided to take my Battalion on vacation, now that we finished everything we could, basically at this point.
Our destination is the Kararagi City States, a country built by an Outerworlder and the Witch of Greed, which incorporated many parts of Japanese culture. But my main reason to go there isn't because of the food and culture.
The main purpose of this journey is to pick up three object that will increase my chances of survival in the future. Echidna's revived Book of Wisdom seemed to approve of my journey, so I will follow its instructions. I'm not going to blindly follow everything it says like Witch Cultists follow their Gospel, but rather, like Capella said, let it serve as a guidance and advisor.
The three objects, or items that are in question are:
The remains of the Black Dragon, Valgren.
The Great Spirit of Wind, the Shinigami, Zarestia.
And the Sword of Power, the Love Sword.
And I am quite confident that these objects will be soon under my grasp. Now, onto our first destination, Picoutatte. This city was attacked by Valgren in the past, and apparently, some people dug up their ashes back then and decided to sell them now to a corrupt noble at a high price.
I don't know who these people are, but there was only one objective:
Speak with your heart, and not your mind [SSS-Class Suicide Hunter]
"Lay your hands off my merchandise. I'm taking it, and that's that. In this world, only the righteous, the just, the strong, and the witty survive."
"Hm? Y/N, what were you saying?" Omega said as she heard my murmurings, and I immediately waved my hands in denial.
"No, it's nothing. I was just voicing some thoughts." I told my contractor, who returned a suspicious gaze, but decided to to pry further. Huh. I thought she was the type to satisfy her endless Greed. Maybe it's just because we respect each other's privacy.
Speaking of my Battalion, we're on a car right now. Yes, a car. To be more precise, a camping car of sorts. I attached two steam engines to move the cart using firestones and our constant supply of water from my authority and Palmyra's Water Magic, so our energy would not run out, not in a long time.
Fulgenta, my ground dragon, rested on a cart behind our camper van space, sleeping soundly since she helped in some manual labour today in the morning before we set out.
"The view's great, isn't it, Y/N?" Colette said as she peeked out the window, and I chuckled at her childish remarks. It's hard to believe the strong girl who has her own 'beast' form is so carefree when it comes to travelling, although I can't really blame her.
"Yes, yes it is, Colette. I took y'all out on a trip because I thought it was time for you to go and see the world outside. Unfortunately, Kararagi is the only safe option. Going to Gusteko without the preparation for the cold could have severe consequences, while the people of Vollachia might make us fight everyday or something."
"You always speak in such, detail, Y/N. No wonder Palmyra said that you were too wordy when you teach her magic." Meili chuckled, and my eyes whipped around to Palmyra, who gave a shy smile and an 'ehe'.
