[Day 12 Month 6 Year of Crescent Moon: 12.00]
“Aha ha ha~”
A sound of laughter can be heard as the figure of a person floating on the air. Her hands spread wide as her face was full of smile which can charm any man who saw her. As she floating in the sky, her hair flapping behind her and her lower robe revealed short tight that hugged her white thigh below the flapping blue skirt. But the girl didn’t seem to mind it as she looked over to the scenery that passed below her with shining eyes.
However, suddenly the rule of gravitation was doing its job as the girl body suddenly pulled down to the ground with fast speed. But, seeing the deadly scene before her, when the earth distance grows closer in a minute she didn’t even show any fear.
Then before she hit the ground, like a cat, she positioning her leg straight below her. Suddenly a dark thread gathered below her feet and like an elastic trampoline. When she bend her leg a little, with the push of her leg, her body would pushed up again and floating through the sky.
For the third person perspective, they can see a person flying through the sky as if being thrown out by a catapult with fast speed, then their body suddenly started falling toward the ground. Seeing this, everyone would panic and rush to see the body but they only noticed that the body suddenly jumped to the sky before zoomed out like an arrow.
“Aha ha... It is fun~”
She shouted her joy as she swung her hand overhead and now her golden eyes glowed like a kid found a new toy.
“B-be careful, Shirley!”
“Aha ha.. Rey, having so much fun...”
Behind her, there are two mans who also like her, doing jumping and floating through the sky. However unlike her, Roland's face was pale as he trying hard to control his body because he was wearing armor, so he was the first to fall to the ground with the fastest speed. Harold in another hand was enjoying the smile of Shirley.

“H-Harold, is this... the only way we must do?” Roland, between his concentration of controlling his floating body, asked Harold who was the only familiar with this situation.
“What do you mean?” Harold who makes a posture of lay sideway while supporting his head with his left hand asked Roland instead.
“I-I mean, is this the only mean of our transportation?” Roland slowly getting used with the floating and now can speak without a problem.
“Yeah, this is the fastest and we can move without risking our mount dying on the road. When we are floating, we can see surrounding and can escape if we are attacked. This is the only convenience way of traveling.” Harold says as he changed his position to sitting position with his leg folded with his hand on his chin like thinking something. Roland shakes his pale face as he doesn't believe the man in front of him calmly landed to the ground then changed his posture as he like when floating.
“Well, that’s maybe true... With this speed, we can reach the Signal Village in three days.” When Roland think about the big picture of this he sighed in relief. Currently, the three of them already floating for 2 hours and their distance from the Fortified town is going farther.
Roland shifted from his thought to glance at the man beside him, the man wearing black robe which pouring out a mysterious aura. He then thought about the road that Harold suggested and unconsciously speaking his mind.
“Can we reach the village in time?” Roland thought about the condition of the Scouting Village, that village which always sends the report about the surrounding condition suddenly stopped sending a report and make the higher ups feels uneasy. Even with their fast movement now, the normally a week transportation would only end in four or three days depending on the situation.

“Am not sure...” Then when Roland fell in deep thought, Harold's voice reaches his ear and he stared at him. Harold with bitter expression continued, “Even with my power as Shadow Master, this is my limit to use Shadow Steps. We can only move for another 1 hour before we need to rest.”
Roland smiled wryly as Harold who said “We” and not him whose needed rest and say, “It’s no problem. With our current speed, we already surpassed what the Pegasus can do.”
“Yahoo~” Hearing the voice of Shirley somehow going farther, both of men turned their face and paled.
“Yeaay~” Shirley do a summersault then followed with an acrobat which she doing with ease, but from the perspective of both men, she is doing something dangerous and rushed at her with full speed.
“W-wait, what is going on? I-I can do this by my own!” Shirley struggled to break free as suddenly both of her arms was seized by Harold and Roland who suddenly appear on her each side.
“Are you stupid! You’re doing something dangerous!” Harold shouted as she gripped the slender hand of Shirley's arm, even when she wear the priestess clothes which having long sleeve, her soft skin can be felt by Harold. He glared at the pouting Shirley which still didn’t know any sense of danger.
“S-Shirley, you almost hurt yourself!” Roland also shouted as he also tightened his grip to Shirley right hand. They ignoring Shirley protest ‘B-but I can’t move~’ or ‘Let me go~” as they continued their journey.
