I was driving the Dwarven Supercar through the 6th floor Splendor.
Gentle wind blew past us.
Colorful flowers could be seen everywhere, and the eyes of deer twinkled from the mountains afar.
The scenery put my mind at ease.
In this simple state of happiness, I couldn't help but reminisce.
I didn't know why, but the memories from a far past flickered in my head.
In my teenage years, I felt invincible with my friends by my side. I studied hard for the college exam.
Years passed, and I was in the military long before I had a chance to enjoy my life as an adult.
After I was discharged, I started writing.
Things went well, I earned some money and finally left home. Back then, I thought I had achieved everything solely on my own.
But I was wrong.
The support from my parents and relationships I had established with others over 25 years were what made me who I was back then.
Well, I spent 25 years there, and 5 years here.
How would they have changed in five years?
Was the world I lived in still the same world I knew?
A strange anxiety rose from the depths of the beautiful scenery.
"Hajin."
Suddenly, Boss called my name.
"...Yes?"
Absorbed in thought, I answered her a little late.
The weather was especially nice today on the 6th floor.
I felt as if I was in the center of a glittering universe.
"..."
Boss stayed quiet. The silence incited me to turn around, and I saw Boss glaring at me.
"What?"
"Where did you say we're going?"
"Huh? I said, the hot spring... Aah~"
I scratched my head.
No wonder she misunderstood.
My mind was completely occupied with the landscape that I forgot to explain.
"I don't mean anything strange by it. The hot spring is used for training. There, your stats go up really fast."
Kieeek—
Suddenly, Spartan descended and sat on Boss' shoulder. It was quite skillful of him to catch the Dwarven Supercar at such a high speed.
"...For training?"
—Prrrr.
Spartan looked at Boss with twinkling eyes.
He seemed to be having strange thoughts again.
"Yeah. My stats went up by 2 in a week."
"...Really?"
It seemed Boss finally took interest.
The way she mumbled 'hot spring, hot spring, hot spring...' even made her look excited.
"Also, that horse is still following us."
Hearing her, I smiled wryly.
Just like what Boss said, Bucephalus was indeed still following us. She appeared to be speed walking and not quite running, yet her speed was equal to that of the Dwarven Supercar running at 100 km per hour.
