Moss grasped Winsa's outstretched hand. There was no supposedly soft, boneless sensation to her touch, only the strength and calluses forged through grueling training.
"Hold tight."
Winsa said this, then pulled Moss up with a powerful tug.
"Oh!"
Moss let out a surprised cry as Winsa lifted her straight out of the carriage and set her steadily on the flatbed.
"Sister Winsa is really strong."
Sitting beside Winsa, Moss looked at her excitedly.
Winsa immediately laughed at that. She reached over and patted Moss on the head, chuckling as she said:
"It's because you're too light, Molly. You weigh much less than my shield."
"Really? I think Sister Winsa is amazing."
Moss sat on the wooden boards, swinging her little legs and grinning.
"Hahahaha..."
Winsa scratched her nose and laughed a little sheepishly.

"Wait a second. Are you saying your Sister Anlia isn't amazing?"
"Eh? Of course Sister Anlia is amazing too."
With Anlia's arm around her neck, Moss grinned at Anlia again.
"That's more like it."
Anlia nodded in satisfaction. She was just about to withdraw when Moss grabbed her arm.
Anlia stopped and asked in confusion:
"Hmm? What is it, Molly?"
Moss raised her head and asked:
"Sister Anlia, have we entered the Luya Plain already?"

Anlia froze for a moment before saying:
"Not yet. We're still within Hill City's territory."
Moss raised her hand and pointed toward the dark shadows appearing in the distance.
"Then what are those? Are they wolves?"
Anlia followed the direction Moss was pointing and immediately turned pale!
"Fire Wolf Pack?! How could this be... This is still within Hill City's guarded territory!"
Anlia hurriedly pulled a telescope
