Accompanied

[Why didn't you say anything about it beforehand?]

"I wanted to surprise you."

[Well, I certainly am.]

Currently, I am on foot in my Progenitor Form along with the other eight apprentices that are heading towards the port on the western part of the continent which is in Rismerro Territory.

The trip is about two weeks long on a good weather according to the local. While the length is not a problem, the one tagging along is.

Because that local was actually Hale. Apparently, she was born and raised in Rismerro. She only came to Bovalia to have a better life.

Hale didn't say anything about going to Rismerro and surprised me at the gates.

So now, she is sitting on my lower right hand because I didn't bring a horse with me.

[You could've at least told me that you would be coming with me.]

"Well, I initially didn't have any plans to be honest."

[Why suddenly decide it?]

Hale lets out a forced laugh while looking at my face.
