Sebastian was exhausted

---

While it was not completely dark, the sun was mostly set now, so it was difficult to tell for sure that it was Rahle.
Perhaps Leo could tell, as she had sharper senses.
In any case, we waited for them to get closer.

“Kii! Kii!”
“Yes, it was so fun, Rahle!”
“…”

Rahle stood in the garden and cried happily, before leaning forward so that Tilura could jump off.
As for Sebastian…he looked tired.

“Are you alright, Sebastian?”
“Do I look like I am alright? Phew…ugh.”
“No, not really…ah…thanks, Leo.”
“Wou.”

I helped Sebastian climb down from the saddle.
However, he had no strength in him, and his foot slipped in the stirrups. That was when Leo came in and supported him with her nose.
It would have been about a meter fall, and he could have been hurt.

“Thank you. Hah… I feel like myself again. I am sorry, Mr. Takumi and Leo.”
“No, it was a long flight. So it cannot be helped.”

Sebastian looked quite pale as he thanked us.
There was none of that usual calmness from him. I thought that he was on the verge of collapsing.
As for Tilura, she enjoyed her flight a lot and couldn’t be any happier.

“Still, the flight tomorrow will be much longer… Will you be alright?”
“…I think…that I will ask for breaks in between. It should be fine with Rahle and Leo’s speed.”
“Indeed… Aside from lunch, we can take a few other breaks.”
“Thank you.”

Well, I was not sure how much time we could take for rest… I suppose we would have to see as we travel.
We had actually meant to go one day later, but then it was decided that we would stop at Ractos on the way.
It would have been fine if it was just a short stop, but considering our business in Ractos, it would not be possible to then unite with Mr. Ekenhart in the same day.
In that case, it would be best to go early and meet up with Mr. Ekenhart while he was still traveling.

The reason that we wanted to meet up with them on the same day, was while they had everything they needed to set up camp, we who were riding on Leo and Rahle could not carry much with us.
I didn’t want to sleep outside without a sleeping bag…
And so Sebastian suggested that we leave tomorrow and travel with them the rest of the way.
Now that I thought about it, it was probably part of Sebastian’s plan to get more time to rest.

“Ah, by the way. Was the herb useful?”
“It was. I probably would not be standing here without it. It is rather shameful…but I was shaking so much that it was even painful. I am getting too old…”
“Ah, yes. Haha…”

I guess he is not used to using those muscles and joints.
Still, I was glad that the herbs had been useful.

“Sister Tilura. How was the sky?”
“It was so fun! You could see so far away! And when the sun is settling the sky is so pretty!”
“Wow, I want to see…”

As Sebastian did not look well, I suggested that he drink some tea and rest.
In the meantime, Liza and Tilura were talking.
There were no really tall buildings around here, so the view must be very different for her.
Well, I was glad that she could experience something so rare.
Liza looked a little jealous.
Well, in order to make her happy…
