"Please let me do it..."
"Oh? Miss Ais!"
"Because we're going on an expedition to Black Dragon tomorrow."
Unlike the shy Haruhime, Ais had already made up her mind.
As Ais embarks on a new path, takes control of her destiny, and becomes stronger, she knows all too well that this power is not a free gift.
She aspired to go further and become stronger, and thus chose to follow Baili.
As Baili walked up to Ais and reached out his hand, Chunji, not wanting to be left behind, quickly ran to their side.
"Me too... I've already come to my senses!"
"very good."
Baili looked at the two people in front of him.
"I look forward to your performance tomorrow."
Now is the time to bestow another favor upon them.

"Be careful! Should we wear more clothes? Oh, and since we're constantly moving through the sky, do you need sunscreen? Also, remember to keep in touch with Baili!"
"Where did you come from, Mom? You're being a bit long-winded... How come they don't know these things?"
When Hestia reminded everyone, Hephaestus, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but complain.
Demeter didn't participate; instead, she handed the bento she had prepared the day before to Asia.
"You can eat this on the way. The ingredients used to make these bento boxes have been enhanced by the magic of the dungeon, which means they don't spoil easily and can be stored for a long time."
"Thank you, Miss Demeter, but I think we can call it a day. Of course, we'll still eat our bento boxes!"
Asia bowed her head in thanks, and then Demeter, like Hestia, reminded everyone to be careful.
After finishing their conversation, Rias stood in the center of the courtyard behind the villa, raising her right hand as she channeled her power.
With the power of demons and the power of the path, the magic circle originally used for teleportation and movement has been exponentially enhanced.
Ais and Chunji were both surprised to see the magic circle appear before them.
Ais never expected that Rias possessed such a rare and special magic.
Because in Orario, very few people can move and teleport freely using magic.
The biggest reason is that it consumes too much magic power.
Rias, however, seemed completely unconcerned about this...
Chunji then crouched down and touched the magic circle with her hand.
"It's hard...like the ground. Even though there's grass underneath, this magic circle completely separates them."
"That will be our next mode of transportation."
After saying that, Rias stepped on it.
It's very stable and a great mobile platform.
Seeing this, Akane, Asia, and the kitten also walked onto the magic circle.
"I'll come back after I've dealt with the Black Dragon."
After speaking to Hyakuri, Mai Sakurajima followed the others.
Yukino asked curiously
"Should we give the Black Dragon time to make a move and let the Memory Cat learn from it?"
"There should be such an opportunity, right? You guys aren't going to just kill the Black Dragon instantly."
"What Baili said makes sense. Hopefully, it can use its strongest combat skills when we meet."
After receiving Hyakuri's answer, Yukino also entered the magic circle.
Somewhat hesitant, Haruhime saw Asia extend her right hand towards her.
"Come on, fox girl."
"Please call me Haruhime."
The fox-girl nimbly leaped onto the magic circle.
Before leaving, Ais turned to Baili and bowed.
"I will seize this opportunity..."
After saying that, Ais walked to Rias's side with a resolute expression.
Hestia, who had just been acting like a nagging old woman, pulled out a silk scarf and waved goodbye.
"Come back soon!"
"I already told you, where did your mom come from?!"
"I'm just concerned about everyone!"
As the two goddesses bickered, the red magic circle in the sky vanished instantly.
This also signifies the official start of the girls' expedition against the Black Dragon!
in the sky.
Haruhime stood at the edge of the magic circle created by Rias, looking down.
The group is currently at an altitude of 1,000 meters.
The weather was fine at the time, with no clouds in the sky, so the view was unobstructed and could be clearly seen on the ground.
As the majestic mountains shrink and the wide rivers turn into streams, Haruhime's only reaction is astonishment.
Because she doesn't know flying magic, she has never had this experience before.
Looking down from the sky, with everything spread out before my eyes, I felt as if the world had changed.
Chunji glanced behind her and saw that the once towering Tower of Babel in Orario had become a toothpick, about to disappear beyond the horizon.
"so amazing……"
After sighing, Chunji raised her right hand and stretched it out into the space in front of her.
The magic circle teleported everyone and moved them at high speed, but there was no instability.
Even the air currents that should have been raging were absent, all blocked by the barrier outside the magic circle.
But this is reasonable.
Without the shields surrounding everyone, they would probably have been thrown off the magic circle the moment it took off.
As Haruhime pondered this, she noticed that Rias was discussing something with Ais.
There was a map between them, with Hermes's previous markings on it.
"If it were on the ground, we would probably have to plan many routes."
Rias stared at the map and said softly.
"That's right. It's like exploring a dungeon maze. Even in areas that have already been explored, the team plans the route in advance before each trip to avoid getting separated."
Ais, who was standing to the side, answered seriously.
For her, this expedition was similar to those of the past.
The difference is that one moves downwards, while the other moves in the sky.
The most important of these is the target of the attack—
Black dragon!
"Because there are no obstructions in the sky, we can fly directly between the two points. As for whether the direction is correct... I think we can confirm it by other marked landmarks."
As Ais finished speaking, she walked to the edge of the magic circle and lowered her head.
There is a circular river directly below the airspace where everyone is currently located.
"The river, surrounded by trees like a circle, indicates that we are on the right track."
"That's good."
Rias glanced at the map again.
Then she raised her right hand, channeling her power, and mixed the condensed power of destiny with the red magic that dripped from her fingertips.
The moment it touched the magic circle, the entire magic circle instantly increased its speed!
"I want to get to my destination as soon as possible."
As Rias finished speaking, the magic circle shone even brighter, like a crimson meteor streaking across the sky.
Akeno and Yukino saw the scenery below changing rapidly.
Before long, the kitten noticed a completely different view.
"Lady Rias! Please slow down! Lower your altitude!"
"Yes, I noticed that too."
Hearing the kitten's meow, Rias waved her right hand, and the magic circle stopped steadily.
At this moment, Miko Yotsuya and Mai Sakurajima narrowed their eyes slightly.
The girls, who swiftly traversed land, mountains, and seas using magic circles, stared ahead.
A sea of trees shrouded in mist appeared in their field of vision, but in the center of this sea of trees was the eye of a storm.
There, air currents swirled, isolating the center from the surrounding area.
Is that the place?
Yukino Yukinoshita gazed into the distance, her expression serious as she prepared for battle.
Rias, who did not intend to land directly in front of the Gale Barrier, decided to land in a small open area 300 meters away from the central area.
Haruhime felt a sense of security upon stepping back onto solid ground, but this feeling didn't last long...
