"Thank you!! Whoa!!! I never knew that wind on my neck could feel so good!!"
"It's nothing. It just feels good to me to be able to flex those muscles after so long."
"I bet it does… ngh!"
Yaci jump-hugged me.
"Aureaaaa!! This is so awesome! You're finally free from that thing!"
"I know, I know… don't need to lift me off the ground, though."
"Nonsense! I could hold you like this all day, you know."
She says that but still puts me back on the ground. I give her a little pet on her head when she sits back down.
"The aria you used… I've never seen anything like that!"
"Probably because you haven't had a thorough study in the arcane arts yet."
"Huh?"
"It uses some advanced syntax that drifts far away from the elemental magic that seems to have become the norm in the human world."
"Would you teach me?"
"I have nothing better to do, I guess."
