The Silent Octameteorite

During our journey from Japan to the Kingdom of Rus, Hiyori had consistently chosen safe routes for us.

We avoided Mongolia, where dangerous magical fungi were rampant, and skipped the lawless Iranian Plateau.

Many of the magical terrains scattered around the world could have shortened our journey if we'd gone straight through them, but we'd always taken detours for safety.

Despite all her attention to safety, we'd still been hit by accidents like our initial encounter with Hatobat, the Chengdu Concession family feud, and the rescue of the Future Sight siblings. But that was that.

Our meeting with Mr. Hatobat was simply an incomprehensible, absurdly unlikely collision, while Hiyori had actively gone to settle the Chengdu Concession affair, and the Future Sight incident had been unavoidable.

Not a single accident had resulted from Hiyori's carelessness or mistakes.

Throughout this journey, we hadn't suffered a single injury or illness! That was because Hiyori had gone to great lengths to make sure of it.

Naturally, we never had anything like, "We ran into a Class-A monster while walking through some remote area!" happen. We avoided areas where dangerous monsters appeared.

Just as you'd expect of a witch who had traveled the world for eighty years. I could safely leave all the travel planning to her. She handled everything perfectly.

Still, that was the problem...
