The Guy Who Doesn't Want to Be Found vs. The Girls Who Want to Know Who He Is - Chapter 45

Chapter 45: Journey to the Town

Lucina and I left the village and were leisurely walking towards the town. Lucina rarely leaves the village, so she preferred to keep flying as a last resort.

“I wonder why Dad suddenly allowed us to go?”

“Who knows? Maybe he had his reasons?”

Whether his reasons were good or bad, I didn’t know. But it’s not good to speculate without facts, so I decided to keep quiet.

“Well, we still have a long way to go to the town, so let’s take it easy.”

“Yes! That sounds good!”

“By the way… Lucina, didn’t dad teach you how to fight?”

“Yes, he did”

“Did he mention anything about me during your training?”

“Yes! When I asked about you, he said you were very strong!”

“…”

I was at a loss for words. Why would he say that when I told him to keep my strength hidden? Dad really was over the top.

“Lucina, when we get to town, you mustn’t tell anyone about my strength, okay?”

“Dad said that too. Why is that?”

“It’s just… Dad mentioned it’s dangerous for people to know because it could bring trouble.”

I gently reminded Lucina not to tell anyone. She’s a good girl, so I was confident she would understand.

“I don’t quite get it, but okay! I won’t tell anyone!”

“Good girl! Lucina, you’re such a good girl.”

“Ehehe! I love this!”

When I patted Lucina on the head, she made a blissful face that we probably shouldn’t show too much in public. I thought about this as I stroked her head.

“Well, it looks like it’s about to get dark. What do you think? Should we fly there?”

“Yes! I really want to get to the town quickly!”

“Then let’s fly.”

As I started to float up into the air, Lucina clung to my back. I wasn’t sure what she was doing.

“Hey, Lucina? What are you doing?”

“Um? Because I can’t move through the air as fast as you yet.”

“Then I guess it can’t be helped. Make sure you hold on tight.”

“Okay!”

Lucina clung tightly to my back. I wrapped my arms around her legs to carry her piggyback, and then we slowly rose into the sky.

Once we were high enough, we headed towards the town. I flew slowly at first so Lucina wouldn’t feel uncomfortable, then gradually increased our speed.

“Wow! It’s so fast! Big Brother, you’re amazing!”

Lucina exclaimed in surprise as she looked down at the ground from my back.

“How is it? The view from up here is pretty good, right?”

“Yes! It’s interesting to see so many things from above! Oh! Big Brother! Look, there’s a group of wyverns over there!”

“Hm? Oh, yeah, you’re right.”

Lucina pointed, and I saw a dozen wyverns flying in the direction she indicated. Wyverns are not as big as dragons and are sometimes called “dragon-like creatures.”

“We can see it now. We’ll be arriving soon.”

“Eh? We’re there already?”

About 15 minutes of flying through the sky, and the town comes into view. The town is reasonably bright even at night, so it’s easy to spot.

“Look, that bright area over there is where I live.”

“Wow! It’s really beautiful!”

Lucina’s eyes sparkled as she looked at the town. Indeed, our village, while rich in nature, isn’t as brightly lit at night as the capital or this town.

“We’ll start descending soon.”

“Okay!”

I told Lucina we were going to land and began to slowly descend to the ground near the town, making sure we weren’t noticed.

“Okay, you can get down now.”

“…”

“…Lucina?”

Even after I told her it was safe to get down, she remained silent and didn’t let go of my back.

“I don’t want to get down.”

“Really?”

“Can’t we stay like this?”

“It’s fine by me, but are you okay with being seen by people?”

“It doesn’t bother me.”

She seems fine with it. There’s nothing more I can say if she’s not ready to get down. Maybe we’ll just enter the town like this.

“Hey! Isn’t that Glenn?”

“It’s been a while.”

“Really has! Hmm? Who’s that on your back?”

The guard noticed the person on my back. His face turned serious as he switched to his guard mode.

“I was just visiting my hometown recently. This is my sister, Lucina, on my back.”

“Good evening. I’m his sister, Lucina.”

Lucina got down from my back and greeted the guard politely. The guard was quite impressed.

“Wow! What a beautiful sister you have there. If those three guys find her, they might start chasing her around again.”

“Please, don’t even joke about that.”

Indeed, those three fools might start causing trouble without even listening to the story. It’s easy to imagine a future where we’re being chased again.

“Then, be careful not to let them find you.”

“Yeah, I will.”

“Let’s go! Big Brother!”

As we were about to enter the town, Lucina, who had just gotten down, clung to my back again. With no other choice, I decided to carry her piggyback.

“Hmm? Are they really siblings?”

The guard mumbled to himself as he watched them from behind. While Glenn treated her like a sister, the sister seemed to have feelings that went beyond mere sibling affection.
