Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Yes, I am!
I came to Earth through warp many times, but…. this time it was a bit beyond my expectations.
The place where I landed was completely white.
The wind is terrible. The snow flew fast and furious.
It's a blizzard, isn't it? Visibility is so bad.
I have no idea where I am!
The ground is sloped, and there is no human settlement in sight.
A snowy mountain, perhaps.
Galena said she did her best, and I know it's in the US.
"Did I get lost? Yes, I am!"
I can't help but joke about it.
Oh well. I've been expecting a situation like this to happen.
I'm still a magician who graduated from a prestigious academy. Don't underestimate me.
I placed my palm on my body along muttering the magic spells.
"Protect me from the harsh environment."
Then, warm air surrounds me.
It was a magic that protected me from dangerous phenomena like blizzards and fires.
Now, I don't have to worry about freezing for now.
I just don't know where I am, that's the problem.
"O wind, bring the voice of the other side to my ears."
When I chanted the next spell, there was a whooshing sound and the sorcery spread through the blizzard.
This is a magic that picks up the voices of people in the near distance.
As long as I could find the direction to the human village, it would be fine.
And then the voice that the magic detected began to echo.
"…. No, I cant, just you alone…"
"Pull yourself together. Let's get some rest and wait for the blizzard to stop…"
Apparently, there are two men in the west direction.
However, this is a scene where they' re also in distress.
Let's go for now. It's better than staying in the middle of nowhere.
I pushed the transport plane through the blizzard and hurried toward the direction of the voice.
I jumped through the air and floated over bumpy mountain roads.
After a little while, I saw a small light.
Looking closely, I saw a small tent with a light.
I approached and decided to call out.
"Um, excuse me."
"What, somebody here?" A man, probably the one who can still move, emerges from the tent.
"What, a girl ...?"
He was surprised to see me. Well, of course he was. A girl walking alone in a blizzard with a rear cart. They' ll be freaked out.
"Are you in trouble?" I asked, the bearded man stood up and nodded.
"Yeah. I'm sorry to have to tell you this. We were struck by a blizzard while climbing, and my friends couldn't move … Did you come here alone?"
"Y-yes. I'm a little lost and I need you to show me the way. But first, I have to deal with your friends. Can you show me?"
I bent down and peered into the tent.
Inside, a young, slender man was lying there, breathing hard.
He must have lost a lot of strength. If that's the case, I guess I can make it without the magic stone.
"Power of life. Heal him and give him strength."
I put my hand on the fallen man's stomach and cast a spell on him.
Then his body began to glow faintly.
"Hey, what's this…"
His friend looked on in amazement, but I would explain about it later.
When I poured enough magic into him, he apparently woke up.
"…. What? What's going on? I can move my body."
As the slender man raised his body, his friend called out to him.
"Hey, are you okay?"
"Yeah. I don't know what it is, but I think I'm getting my strength back."
He got up and looked down at his body as his held him.
Well, now for the blizzard.
I chant the spell I just cast on myself to the two of them again.
"Protect them from the harsh environment."
As I cast the spell, the warm air now enveloped all of them.
"Hey, it's not cold."
"I'm suddenly warm! Oh, you must be …"
Both of them were staring at me with their mouths hanging open.
As expected, they seemed to have recognized me.
"I'm Lina Marderita. For some reason, I'm walking a little in the mountains."
"Oh, I knew it. Her face is exactly the same as I saw on the Internet. And there's no doubt about this strange power."
"So that's a magic. …"
They were surprised, but there is no time to waste.
"Excuse me, but do you know how to get to the base?"
"Oh, yeah. Yes, I do. I'll show you."
They folded up the tent and started to walk away, carrying it.
"Oh, I'll take care of all your stuff."
"Oh, no. That's a lot of weight for a girl to carry."
Common sense would tell them that they can't let a girl carry their luggage.
The men are trying to carry them themselves. But that would slow down our walking.
"Don't worry. It's a magical transporter, so it won't weigh much if you put it in. Please put your backpack and everything in here."
When I urge them to do so, they nervously place their luggage into the transport plane.
Then, the large package shrinks like a grain of rice in the transport plane.
"It's getting smaller!"
"Don't worry, it'll be back to normal when I take it out."
"…, wow, that's impressive magic."
After lightening themselves, we started walking towards the foot of the mountain.
Their steps are light as they crunch through the snow.
"There' s no difficulty at all, even though it' s a blizzard."
"That's good. But why is Lina Malderita in such place?"
"H-hahaha. Maybe something like the warp lands me in strange places."
I said in a deceptive manner, and the man nodded.
"Yeah, I've heard rumors about that. You know, the ones that ones that happen to land at random?"
"No, it's not random by any means. .... Also, please keep this confidential."
"… Oh, right."
I put my index finger on my mouth and they nodded as if they knew what I was talking about.
"Well, you've been through a lot, haven't you? Where are you going?"
"The United Nations Headquarters in New York."
"O-oh. So that's your agenda. Lets go, as earthlings, will we send the princess to a safe place!"
"Rather, it looks like we're the ones being protected. …"
Despite the man's enthusiasm, the other seemed to be sighing.
In the midst of the blizzard, we walked down the mountain, wrapped in the warm air.
Well, we managed to get through the blizzard and get down to safety.
There seemed to be a lot of tourists around here.
Apparently it was Mt. Washington, a famous mountain on the east coast of the United States.
"Hey, is that Lina Marderita?"
"Why is she in the mountains?"
"Maybe she's sightseeing."
Yeah. I've been spotted by a lot of people.There's no way I can hide the fact that I' m coming to this mountain.
If that's the case, I think I'd rather show off that I'm here.
I decided to take a picture with the two of them and the mountain as the background, and post it on social media.
"We climbed Mt. Washington! It's so beautiful!"
If I do this, people might think I'm sightseeing.
It's much better than being thought to be lost every time.
The comments section seemed to be filled with people who love mountains.
[Hey, aliens like mountains, too.]
[Mt. Washington has the best landscape. I'm so glad Lina came to my favorite mountain.]
[blizzards are dangerous at this time of year, but was it okay?]
[They are lucky men to be able to climb with Lina.]
As I waited, while looking at the Internet, people who looked like the local police arrived.
"Miss Lina Marderita is secure! Contact headquarters!"
"Yes Sir!"
The policemen are working for me, communicating with each other in a hurry. I can only bowed to them. Anyway, I'm glad that I was able to get through the snowy mountain without any problems.
