After we arrived back to the capital city of Engelburg, the entire party reported to the castle to give the good news and introduce the islands’ representatives. Surprised to see Katalina back so soon, King Reginald breathed a sigh of relief after we had told him about our favorable terms in opening trade between the
The next day, the three of us headed back home to Sistina. As we boarded a ship that was heading back, Koujiro and his entourage came to see us off at the entry port. For some reason, Koujiro looked quite exhausted. It was probably for the best that I didn’t ask what happened to him

As the mana veins that ran through the earth converged here, the surrounding environment thrived from this seemingly endless power source fertilizing the plant and wildlife. A once-active volcano tapped into these mana veins, ejecting a
The rest of the time on the seas had been relatively uneventful. I spent much of the time playing around with magic control, for a lack of other things to do. After about a full day, it seemed like I was starting to get the hang of it. A thin veil of wind swirled gently
