Arc 3, Chapter 20: On the Road Out

Clear roads, not another wagon nor carriage in sight as the horses began speeding up. The illusory dome overhead disappeared, emerging from it the lavish carriage with the four of them.

"Woo!" Asobi cheered, alighting back into the puffy seats. Minutes turned to hours, their gazes out the window and checking up on the driver every so often.

Fortunately and oddly, no vehicle seemed to pass by… Even so, they kept their eyes peeled and eventually, their nerves calmed, relaxing after a long travel.

Jotou gave a passing glance to Fumeko, then out the window. Not yet desert but the tufts of grass that sprouted and crowded along the path went from yellows to bug greens.
