"How does it feel to fly high in the sky?"

"It feels good, Hee-ra."

It was a little scary, but it didn't feel bad. It certainly felt like a privilege to be able to see the vast continent all at once.

Unlike other public transportation methods, it had the disadvantage of discomfort, but the view made it all worth it. In particular, what stood out was the magnificent, natural environment, the huge waterfalls, trees, forests, and large cliffs.

I don't remember seeing all of the tourist attractions on Earth, but I bet the things I'm seeing up here are incomparable to those on Earth.

"It's magnificent."

"Because this is where the monsters are. It's not an environment where you can develop things like on Earth, right? Without the monsters, the trees below would have been cut down and cleared immediately. It's a valuable resource."

Cha Hee-ra was right.

It must be because of the ecosystem that the area had maintained its astonishing beauty. In short, these monsters were the protectors of nature.

I've heard once that a writer compared humans to cancer cells on Earth. If you think of it as a sympathetic statement, the monsters living here are vaccines that eradicate cancer cells. Without them, I would never have been able to witness this.

'Is the tourism business worth doing?'

I felt embarrassed by my line of thoughts.

"Oppa..."

It was then that Jung Hayan spoke. She must have felt alienated during my time spent talking with Cha Hee-ra.

Since I'm proud that she was patient thus far, I lightly stroked her hand.

I half-expected her to act similarly as to how she did back in the Cursed Shrine, so it pleased me when she didn't.

It was not clear as to why she was behaving, but I had a hunch.

'Is it because Cha Hee-ra saved my life?'

Probably so. This was all dangerous, after all.

The danger was doubled - even tripled - once you stepped out of the city. Jung Hayan knew this, as she had already been the victim of such an attack.

Either way, I was glad that we had gone past her plans of isolating us in the dungeon forever.

'A woman she could be anxious about, yet still, protect her man at the same time...'

This was probably how Jung Hayan saw Cha Hee-ra now. As a result, I could feel Jung Hayan evolving. On another hand, however, I still felt uneasy.

As I busied myself with my thoughts, the time passed us by. After flying for over half a day, a landscape that was entirely different from Lindel's presented itself to us.

"Wow!"

Jung Hayan couldn't help but squeal, and I couldn't help but join her.

"Wow..."

"You've never seen it before, have you?"

At Cha Hee-ra's question, it was only natural for me to nod.

The whole area displayed gothic architecture, with a huge temple reflecting in the glow of the sunset, and even though I had only seen it from a distance, its grandeur was visible.

"Huh. That's great."

I could see some griffons flying in the air to see if other people were coming here besides us. Perhaps Guild Masters that were not from Korea were also coming.
