Skadi, returning to infinity

"The things we want to do will only be restricted time and time again here."

"If we really want to achieve our ideals, leaving here is the best option."

"So we don't need to waste a lot of time here anymore, nor do we need to keep investing money in the military."

"Like that..."

"That's such a waste."

After saying this, Theresa seemed to feel much more relaxed.

She smiled genuinely, put down the jar, and stretched.

"I feel so much lighter now that I've finally made this decision."

Seeing her like this, Kal'tsit didn't say anything; she just tilted her head and looked at Theresa.

"What would we be like without Skadi? It's hard to imagine."

Kal'tsit's sudden remark resonated with Theresa.

"All these changes really started with meeting Skadi."

"If we hadn't met Skadi, we might not have been able to figure out what we needed to do so quickly."

"Although reversing time brought about terrible changes, at least..."

"At least before those dangers arrived, the benefits we gained, the things we changed, were already more than enough."

"What we need to do now is to fully support Skadi and Kal'tsit's work."

"At the same time, we need to find the location of Rhodes Island and excavate it."

"Skadi doesn't need to worry about this; we can handle it ourselves."

After Theresa stopped seeing herself as a "princess," she seemed to become cheerful.

Kal'tsit looked at her, a smile playing on her lips.

No matter what, as long as His Highness is happy, that's a good thing.

As for what Kazdel's future holds, let's not think about that for now.

Even if things had gone according to plan, Theresa would have eventually let go of her obsession with Kazdel.

Carrying burdens that don't belong to you for too long will eventually crush you.

Even knowing this, Theresa has been silently enduring it all these years.

Therese's betrayal may have given Theresa a way to back down.

He had always been burdened with too high expectations by the people of Kazdel, and in reality, he did not want to do those things.

It's perfectly normal for Theresa to feel tired.

"Your Highness, do whatever you wish to do. In the past, I might have advised you against it."

"But now, as long as Your Highness is happy, as long as Your Highness feels relaxed, then Your Highness can do whatever you want."

"If you don't want to stay inside the Tower of Babel, you can go to Yan Kingdom for a visit."

"It's much safer there than other places."

"You can go fishing, you can go sightseeing, or you can live in seclusion deep in the mountains."

"You can also be an ordinary citizen in a big city, watching the bustling and noisy streets."

"You could become a teacher and educate people."

"Even becoming a celebrity or idol, and living younger is fine."

"Of course, it would be even better if Your Highness stayed. With Your Highness here, everything would be much better."

Kal'tsit stretched out her hand, counting on her fingers one by one, listing all the things Theresa could and was capable of doing.

By the end, she herself had become excited.

"Perhaps we could do even more impressive things, such as...."

Kal'tsit's words came to an abrupt halt, and she looked at Theresa with a somewhat uncertain expression, as if considering what to say.

"For example, what?"

Theresa didn't know what Kal'tsit was trying to say, and she looked at her curiously, wanting to know her thoughts.

"nothing."

Kal'tsit seemed unwilling to continue the conversation. She picked up a can of kvass with only 0.3% alcohol, pulled the tab, and took a small sip.

"This kind of wine won't make you drunk."

When Theresa saw her like this, she gave her a reminder.

"I know, I didn't intend to get drunk."

Kal'tsit shook her head; she didn't want to get drunk.

She just didn't quite know how to say these things.

"For example, living with Skadi, being her supporter, becoming her wife..."

"Yeah?"

Theresa watched as she finished a can of kvass and then suddenly said something.

The atmosphere in the courtyard fell silent after Theresa finished speaking.

Kal'tsit looked at Theresa, then at the wine in her hand, and suddenly muttered a question to herself.

"Doesn't Your Highness want to?"

This question also silenced Theresa.

Under the moonlight in the courtyard, two close friends sit on either side of each other, both troubled by the same person.

It was as if her arrival left these two best friends unsure of how to face each other.

Chapter Thirty-One: Delicate Feet That Want to Be Played With

"It seems a bit late, let's go and rest for a while."

After shutting down communication with Kal'tsit, several hours passed, and around 3 a.m., Skadi looked around at the pitch-black surroundings...

He frowned.

She turned to look at Medea and Artoria, who did not appear tired.

However, considering that continuing like this might lead to issues with energy levels, and that one might be unable to react quickly enough in dangerous situations, I'm worried about the consequences.

So she had Xiao Ai locate the area and found a quiet pond.

As Xiaobai landed on the ground, Skadi landed with Zhao Yun'er in her arms.

Losia spread her wings and flew to a distant mountaintop to stand guard.

Skadi placed Zhao Yun'er next to a rock so she could rest.

Then I fed Xiaobai a few gems and let it play around on its own.

"Phew, you guys must be tired too."

From the afternoon's journey until now, excluding the two hours spent on Zhao Yun'er's matter, they have been flying for a total of twelve hours.

Even though Xiaobai and his kind are unicorns, belonging to the celestial beast level, they shouldn't be causing such trouble.

Furthermore, both Artoria and Medea need rest. She is a monster, but they can't both be this tired.

For all these reasons, rest is the best option.

After landing on the ground, Skadi felt a little apologetic seeing Artoria and Medea both looking relieved.

“There are some situations that haven’t been taken into account.”

"Even though you are heroic spirits, it is still tiring to continuously consume energy to fly for such a long time."

"I was only thinking about my own situation and didn't think about how you guys were doing."

"terribly sorry.

Skadi is never stingy with apologizing for her mistakes, because only by recognizing her errors can she correct them next time.

“It’s alright, Master. Back when we were practicing telemetry, we experienced marches and telemetry sessions that were much longer than this.”

"This is not a big problem."

Artoria shook her head; in her life, there had been countless such long marches and battles.

Even though the journey was partly due to the constant energy supply to the Rainbow Unicorn, it shouldn't have been tiring.

"No matter how tired you are, it's always good to take a rest."

Medea stretched and, disregarding their presence, took off her magician's robe and plunged naked into the icy pool.

"Hello.

Seeing her like this, Skadi couldn't help but shake her head.

Helpless, she walked to the edge of the pool, took off her boots, and then soaked her soft, white feet in the water.

"Ugh, I guess I still want to slack off."

Seeing her do this, Artoria followed suit, taking off her shoes by the pool and soaking her feet in it.

The cool spring water carried a strange energy that swept away their fatigue.

"Hey~" Now it was Medea's turn to say "Hey." She emerged from the pool and looked at them with some dissatisfaction.

"Hehe." Skadi ignored her dissatisfaction and gently wiggled her two little feet.

Was the child sleeping the whole time?
