Eugene had intended to accompany Sienna back to a city with a warp-gate before seeing her off, but Sienna had firmly refused him while shaking her head.
“It’s not like I’m a child, so what’s the point of you wasting a few days just to see me off at the city?” Sienna argued.
Eugene tried to persuade her, “Won’t it be depressing to cross the snowfield alone?”
“What’s so depressing about that? It’s not like I plan to slowly trudge across it, so don’t worry about me. If I fly by myself, I can even fly faster than when we flew over on dragonback, you know?” Sienna said with a snort as she flipped the hood of her robe over her head. “And it’s not like we have all that much time left to prepare. I’ll accept your good intentions, so you should just stay here and train hard with Molon. I’ll also be working hard over there in Aroth.”
“Do you really need to go to Aroth?” Eugene asked plaintively while worrying his lip.
Pleased to hear Eugene say something like this, Sienna grinned. She poked Eugene in the side with Frost, which she was holding in one hand.
“Why? Would you prefer it if I stayed here with you?” Sienna teased.
Eugene frowned, “If you don’t really need to go, then what’s the point in going? That way, I won’t need to worry about you.”
“I need to go,” Sienna insisted. “As long as I’m there, skilled wizards will surely flock to me, and apart from that, I can only see all the spells and research that has accumulated in Aroth during my absence by going to that country personally.”
Eugene protested, “Isn’t it dangerous for us to separate like this if there isn’t any dire need to do so? What if that bastard, the Demon King of Incarceration, targets you while you’re on your own?”
Although he said this, Eugene knew there was absolutely no chance of such a thing happening. Even when Eugene was weak and on his own, the Demon King of Incarceration had never once targeted Eugene, so there was no way that Incarceration would use such sinister tactics at this point.
He didn’t know what the Demon King of Incarceration’s true goals were, but… it didn’t seem like he actually wanted the demonfolk...
