It took three days before our thod of returning arrived.
The first thing that happened was that the very next day, the noble that was in charge of this town announced that the water monster had been taken care of.
This was arranged by the shadows who had an order that had both mine and the pri
minister's signature. With such a docunt, there was no way that they would be able to raise any complaint.
Even if they weren't certain if the water monster had even been taken care of, the noble that was in charge of the town had no choice but to make this announcent.
There weren't any rchants that dared to test the waters though.
Even if the noble in charge of the town had made this announcent, it didn't seem like any of the rchants believed in this announcent. After all, they had suffered under the threat of the water monster for so long that they just found it hard to believe such an announcent. No one was willing to act as the one that tested the waters for the others.
It wasn't just because of their precious goods, it was also because of the fact that there was nothing more important than their lives.
They weren't willing to risk their lives on this unreliable information.
As such, there was no one that set out from the town even though it had been announced that the water monster had been dealt with.
It was only three days later when the wyverns arrived that people finally set off.
The wyverns were actually our transport back to the capital, but the reason for the appearance of the wyverns given to the public was that they were here to clean up after the monster.
They found a completely different water monster that they dragged out of the river to show all of the rchants.
This only worked because none of the rchants had actually seen Ariel when they were attacked.
It turned out that she had only sung for them and then attacked when they tried to attack her because they thought that she was a siren. So they had only seen the waves of the water slamming their ships and nothing else.
That was why no one was able to question the monster that was fished out of the river as a
cover.
After they were placated, the ships started heading out of the town again and the economy started to flow.
It seed like this place was beginning to recover, which was why it was ti for us to leave. Of course, we couldn't just get on the wyverns in town, so we had actually left the town a bit earlier than when the wyverns set off. We ca to a clearing that wasn't that far from the town and waited for the wyverns to appear.
When the wyverns landed, there was one person that imdiately rushed over to them.
This person had already looked at the wyverns with eyes that were sparkling when they appeared in the town earlier, but she had been held back from rushing over to have a closer look at them.
This person was naturally Ariel who had co to the land for the first ti.
"It's amazing! I never thought that humans would have the ability to ta these proud wyverns! I thought that it would be impossible for humans to do sothing like this when I heard about it, but now that it's in front of my eyes...I have no choice but to admit that humans really are amazing!"
As Ariel said this in an excited voice, everyone looked at her with a faint smile on their faces.
At the sa ti, they snuck peeks at which had strange tones to them.
I knew why they were acting this way.
After all, they had acted the sa way when they saw the wyverns for the first ti.
As for the one that gave them this shock, it was naturally , which was why they were looking at like this.
I didn't say a thing as Ariel continued admiring the wyverns, I just walked over to Joan who was waiting for .
There was soone else on her back on the way here, but they got off her back the mont that they arrived to make way for .
Everyone knew that I was the only one who could truly make her listen, so they always yielded to .
Seeing co over to Joan's side, Ariel didn't hesitate to co over as well.
She looked closely at Joan before saying, "You are really sothing else!"
Of course she ant Joan, not .
Ariel could tell what was special about Joan, which was why she praised her so much.
Joan raised a wing to her face, as if she was embarrassed about being praised like this.
But eventually we all got on her back and headed to the capital.
"WOOO!!!"
This cry of joy rang out through the air as we flew high above the land.
It was a good thing that I had the wyverns fly high up so that no one would notice us, or else everyone would be staring up at the sky as we flew over them with how much of a commotion Ariel was raising.
She looked like a child that was visiting the amusent park for the first ti.
She even had her arms up in the air like she was riding a roller coaster for the first ti.
I shook my head seeing this, but I didn't stop her since I could understand how she was feeling.
Though there was a look in Ariel's eyes that seed a bit dangerous that concerned .
It was the way that she looked at the wyverns that the others rode.
It looked like she was looking at them with a bit of possessiveness in her eyes.
It almost looked like she wanted to beco a wyvern rider herself.
Of course, that would never happen since we couldn't give our wyverns to outsiders.
Even a royal guest wasn't an exception.
