"Let's rest here for tonight," Xuan Yue said, pointing to a forest not far ahead. The four had traveled less than sixty miles after half a day's journey.
Olivia complained, "We're moving too slowly, still some distance from the next city. It's all his fault for slowing us down." While saying this, she looked at Kino with dissatisfaction.
Kino was taken aback and said, "How can you blame me? I'm not known for my speed. What's the hurry? There's nothing urgent."
Olivia responded, "Haven't you noticed the Yajin Tribe's people are after us? If we don't leave their territory soon, we might get intercepted, and with you being so pathetic, no one will be there to protect you."
Kino, discontented, said, "Aren't we magicians? Why would the Yajin Tribe trouble us? Besides, I don't need protection."
