After so many days of study and research, Rhode had drawn up a brand-new design for the Reduced-Configuration Magic Mech, but he still had no finished product. It left him feeling rather drained.
Why not take Kienlo and Lilia out on an "adventure" and unwind a little?
The goal of their adventure would, of course, be that moonlight feather Kienlo wanted.
If I can help her fulfill her wish of turning into a bird-person...
Hmm, a human Mage, a High Elf Warrior, and a big, adorably goofy bird standing between them. Put that lineup together... The Return of the Condor Heroes?
More importantly, the workers recruited through Baturo's advertisements were gradually arriving at the construction site. With Audric, a High Magic User, helping as well, work on the school was progressing much faster. Rhode no longer needed to stay there supervising all the time.
So let's take the two girls to the Hinterlands and have some fun!
Once the school was built, Rhode would only be busier as its headmaster.
Naturally, Kienlo was delighted when Rhode said they were going to the Hinterlands.
She finally had a chance to learn Moonkin form and become a real "hoot-hoot." How could she not be happy?
Lilia's reaction, however, was a little strange.
"Rhode, are we really going to the Hinterlands? Where in the Hinterlands?"
In the past, whenever this little girl heard they were going adventuring, she would jump up in excitement without asking a single question.
Why was she suddenly asking about everything?
"I don't know, because I don't know where the moonlight feather is. I get the feeling Kienlo doesn't know either." Rhode glanced at Kienlo, and sure enough, she nodded.
Lilia tilted her head and thought for a moment. "So we're just going to search all over the place?"
