After promising to arrange things for Rina to enroll into Arkite’s Academy, Mira left the sisters, who were all pleased with the news. Mira returned to the Baron Hotel, and quickly headed to her wagon so she could make the call right away.

Nina and the rest would go eat dinner with the rest of their adventurer group, and would see if they were alright with relocating to Arkite as well. Then again, Fuzzy Dice’s activity in Haxthausen had ended, so it was about time they decided where to go next, so Nina was confident they would agree to go to Arkite.

「It’s best to do these things quickly after all.」

Muttering that to herself, she opened the wagon’s closet, looking for the communication device. Glad that it was coming in handy once again, she pressed the buttons to get in contact with the Tower of Summoning. She believed she just needed to tell Creos about Rina, and he would get everything done.

‘Hello, this is aide Mariana from the Tower of Summoning speaking.’

Some rings later, Mariana picked up on the other side.

「Ohh, Mariana! It’s me, it’s me!」

Hearing Mariana’s voice after so many days of being away filled her with happiness, and she quickly started telling her of everything that happened in Haxthausen.

It was almost like a husband calling home during a business trip, and their conversation continued for around one hour. Eventually, Mira ran out of things to say and was about to hang up when she remembered why she was calling in the first place.

Mariana hurried to get ahold of Creos, and then Mira told him about Rina. He quickly gained interest in her, as Mira was personally recommending a student to him. The excitement in his voice was palpable even through the device, and once the conversation was over, he ran to his office to get the paperwork ready.

Two days after the commotion with Fuzzy Dice ended, Mira was about to go out in the morning when she noticed a letter that had been slid under the door of her room. It was something commonly seen in movies and such.

In horror movies, such letters would usually contain messages like ‘you are next,’ but luckily, she had an idea of who had left it there. So happy that the wait was over, she picked it up and read its contents.

Just as she expected, the letter came from Lastrada, and all it had was a set of coordinates.

They corresponded to a spot within a forest further northeast from Haxthausen, right next to a small lake. Other than that, there was nothing particular about that spot. But Mira knew there had to be something more there, otherwise she would not have been told about it.

「I guess he wants me to go there.」

Mira understood that was the intent of the letter, so she checked out from the Baron Hotel and resumed her travels.

She had Guardian Ash pulling on the wagon and she moved along the streets, entering any shop that caught her eye on the way.

Her Item Box was already filled with useful adventurer tools, and more than enough food, but most of the shops she visited sold food.

She had more than enough food to easily last her a month, but she continued stocking up. There was just a small difference in the items she picked this time.

She was mostly looking for sweets, instead of main dishes. First, she got various types of pancakes, then cakes, bavarois, chocolate, and any other type of dessert she could find in the city.

Then, after around a dozen bakeries, she found a type of bread she recognized.

「Ohh, this!」

That was the same type of bread she had seen in Christina’s hands when Mira called her back the day of the heist.

It was a small bun filled with cream, only big enough to fit on a palm. There was a sign on top of their display too, which read, ‘Filled to the brim with our special custard cream.’ Mira quickly bought one and went to sit down to eat it right there, and was quickly impressed by its taste.

「Ah, here it is! This is the place!」

Then two girls entered the bakery. The pair headed straight to the area with the buns, making it clear that they were also looking to buy those.

「These are the buns they were giving away before, right?」

「Mhm mhm, I’m pretty sure they are.」

That pretty much confirmed that these really were the buns Christina had been eating. Hearing that, Mira paid more attention, eavesdropping into their conversation.

「Still, that knight lady was incredible.」

「Ahh, the one with the twin tails, right? Yeah, I wonder how many she ate.」

「I’m sure she ate way more than a dozen.」

「They’re so good so I can’t really blame her though.」

「But I’d swear she just vanished in the end, I wonder what kind of spell that was.」

「No idea, who knows what happened. Maybe she was actually a bun ghost?」

「What’s that supposed to mean?」

The two giggled as they continued talking. Meanwhile, a certain picture was starting to form in Mira’s mind.

Just in case, Mira decided to ask the baker, describing Christina and asking if she had been there that day.

「Oh yes, I remember her. She really seemed to enjoy the buns, so it actually made me glad and proud too.」

The baker’s words were the nail in the coffin.

Christina had claimed that she had been pressured into accepting one of the buns, but that had not been quite true.

After that, Mira bought around twenty buns, thanked the baker, and left the place with a grin, knowing she had a piece of blackmail for Alfina.

She resumed her travels, attracting the attention of almost everyone. It was not common to see a large gray bear like Guardian Ash, which made Mira and the wagon stand out as well.

Many recognized her as the Spirit Queen, calling her name, and commenting on how regal she looked. She had also become more famous after the incident with Fuzzy Dice and her donation to the church.

With her stockpile of sweets large enough, and a smirk seeing all the attention she was getting, she decided to go sit on the driver’s seat to show off even more.

There, she sent Guardian Ash away, and then summoned Garuda instead, feeling like it was a good time to display the abilities of summoners with so many eyes on her.

The magic circle appeared, and from it the fantastical bird with richly colored wings emerged.

The onlookers began to mumble amongst themselves, and when Garuda took hold of the upper handles of the wagon, they reacted with shock, wondering if the wagon was actually going to start flying.

Garuda’s wings began to flap, sending a gentle breeze down the street, and the Wagon was slowly lifted into the air.

As the people marveled at that, it was inevitable that word of the summoners’ capabilities would spread, eventually reaching the ears of adventurers as well.

Seeing the reaction of the crowd, Mira felt confident that she had successfully implanted the idea of summoners being able to fly, and so she informed Garuda of her destination and she flew away from Haxthausen.
