YLTESCIA: A Reincarnator's Tale in the Lands of Merusia (3)

Chapter 405: A New Continent

"No... I don't wanna... Just five more minutes..." ［Yuna］

"Sure, sure, you can sleep all you want, Milady." ［Grey］

The day was young and the sky had just risen over the horizon. Dawn and daylight had just arrived and the sky was skill black, hints of red and orange shining dimly as the sun's rays touched the sky chasing the darkness away.

It was a peaceful day. The sound of the waves echoing from the sea, the sound of leaves rustling as the salty breeze blew ashore, and the sound of shifting grains of sands running all around the beaches. Such a sweet and calming symphony.

And as the sun slowly crept up the sky, a shiny glimmer filled the islands. A platinum figure stood proud along the cliffs. She folded her wings and waited for another pair to approach her, the sunset reflecting in her silver eyes.

"Master, is it really fine to go like this? The Mistress still seems sleepy." ［Sirius］

"It's fine. Yuna may look silly right now, but she isn't so fragile, you know? And... Whose fault is it to fall asleep late because she was so excited yesterday?" ［Grey］

"Well... Isn't the Mistress always like that, Master?" ［Sirius］

"Hahaha. I guess you're rightー" ［Grey］

"Gwey... I love you... Make me burgers, please..." ［Yuna］

The young lady mumbled as she hugged Grey even tighter. She is still sleepy as can be and her eyes are barely open. There was no focus to be seen, obviously still half-asleep as Grey piggybacked her towards Sirius.

She was so excited after eating the Kraken meat yesterday, she went on a hunt throughout the entire afternoon whenever she saw some high ranking beasts. And like all things bearing consequences, she is now dead tired, mind very groggy.

"Hamburger...? No, no, I want steak... Steak with apple juice..." ［Yuna］

In fact, she's so tired, she's been mumbling nonsense since Grey "woke" her up and carried her on his back. If there was one thing consistent, it was that all the nonsense she's been mumbling about was about food and sweets.

There are even times when she looks at Grey as if she was looking at something sweet she just baked. Her sleepy and silly mind was still debating whether the one carrying her was in fact her fiancé or just a massive jam bread.

"... Bread... Strange bread... Sounds like Grey..." ［Yuna］

"That's because I am Grey, sleepyhead. Don't try to bite me, alright?" ［Grey］

"Bite... Bite... I want to bite bread..." ［Yuna］

"I just said don't... Haah... Let's just get you on board before you do something we'll both regret. Sirius, if you would please." ［Grey］

"Understood, Master." ［Sirius］

There was no use trying to converse with Yuna as her mind was clearly still lagging and not functioning properly. Grey quickly asked Sirius to be ready for flight, then jumping on her back with the young lady in tow as Sirius spread her wings.

She flapped a couple of times and the islands shrank in all but a fraction of a second. They pierced through the clouds soon after, the warm glimmer of the sun gracing their faces as they watched the sun rise from high up in the sky.

A couple more flaps later and Sirius started darting throughout the sky once again. Rings and lines were made as she flew, the birds and clouds parting ways as they greeted her, yet another mystical sight in the sky of dawn.

And whilst they flew several kilometers from the sea, Grey's eyes scanned the deep waters once more and watched all sorts of scenes unfold. He's already seen them a handful of times since yesterday, but he'll never get used to them.
