The voyage turned out well.
Therese had taken care of all the necessary arrangements, from the food on route, to medicine for seasickness.
I had thought that the pharmacology in this world wasn't very developed, but it seems that this world doesn't get by solely on healing magic.
They at least have something of the level of seasickness medicine.
However, I heard that it was quite expensive.
The things called 'Family Connections' are wonderful.
Therese had made things as comfortable as possible for Eris.
She had looked at Ruijerd with stern eyes but... that can't be helped.
Not everything has an easy solution to it.
Thanks to the seasickness medicine, though Eris looked a little uncomfortable, she was well enough that she hadn't asked me to use Healing.
Speaking of my true thoughts, I felt it was a shame that I couldn't see a meek Eris.
However, thanks to that, my gauge didn't fill up, my Buster Wolf didn't run wild, and I didn't receive Eris' Sunny Punch.[10]
It was as usual.
However, it might have been because Eris was uneasy about last time, but while we were on the boat, Eris was always attached to me.
She wasn't meek.
However, seeing that Eris was able to become excited about seeing the sea, I was satisfied as well.
"Yo, you two. Getting pretty steamy over there! Are you getting married in the Dragon King Kingdom?"
When the two of us were watching the sea, the sailors started whistling and poking fun at us.
"Yeah. It's going to be quite a grand one."
Because of that I got carried away and wrapped my arm around Eris' shoulder, and was hit.
"I-, it's still too early for marriage!"
Though Eris was hitting me, at the same time she didn't seem annoyed and was a little bashful.
It seems she hates being made fun of.
She'd prefer to do that kind of thing in a place with just the two of us, and where the mood was right.
Even Eris the sword-wielding Ashura was a maiden when it came to matters of love.
Still, marriage huh?
Philip and the others had tried to pair Eris and I together.
I wonder what's happened to them?
Paul had told me not to be optimistic but...
It's not just them.
Zenith and Lilia are still missing.
We don't even know where Aisha is.
There's no news of Sylphy either.
I don't know if Ghyslaine is alive, either.
It's nothing but worries.
No, it'd be best to not think in such a bad direction.
There's the possibility that unexpectedly, we might find upon returning to the Fedoa region that everyone has returned safely.
It's an optimistic thought.
I know that there's absolutely no way this is the case.
However, for now at least, I won't think about these worries.
That's what I've decided.

Just like that, we left the Milis Continent.
