Chapter 60
The wind that lifted me up in the air gently came to a halt on a deserted alley.
After a soft landing, I turned to Sylpheed and asked, "Have we shaken them off?"
[There’s no human following us.]
"Good."
Only then did I relax and rummage through my bag. Meanwhile, Sylpheed, materialized––transitioning from a spirit to a tangible form––and started to grumble at me with a lively voice.
[Contractor! I helped you today as well, so come on, keep your promise.]
It seemed that he hadn't forgotten the promise that I would buy him street food if he quietly helped me out for a while.
I grabbed Sylpheed itching to run toward the market and pulled out a large robe from my bag.
"Put this on first."
[What is this?]
"This is something that will protect you."
[Protect me? This body is strong enough without the need for any trivial object.]
