Don't confiscate my identity as a human race

She already lost count of how many times Lanci has completed missions with just one sentence, she only remembers she's one step away from capturing Lanci for the seventh time.

"My Lord Demon King, tea or coffee?"

The smile on Lanci's face vanished in an instant, and he fixed the dining cart by the table with a somewhat dignified air, returning to face Talia.

"Either is fine; I'll have whatever you're having, just the same is good."

Talia gave a slight nod, no longer fussing over Lanci's daily missions.

These days could only be managed as they come.

Sometimes, as long as Lanci didn't push her too far, she would turn a blind eye, as there was a long journey ahead—she couldn't possibly ride Lanci hard every day.

"Then I'll take a nap first, you eat slowly..."

Lanci poured black tea and placed it in front of Talia, sat in his seat, and prepared to close his eyes.

As long as Talia had food, he could sleep peacefully.

"Wait."

Talia called to stop Lanci, causing him to lift his eyelashes again.

"What's up, Tata."

Lanci looked at Tata, who hadn't hurried to eat, across from him and asked.

"If you're going to rest, would you like me to use Gentle Town to make you have a good dream?"

Talia asked Lanci.

She had long been accustomed to using a portable shielding barrier magic device in the carriages of the Cerryti Empire. If she used the smallest range of the Surging Gentle Homeland, it wouldn't affect other passengers.

"Why so lavish all of a sudden."

Lanci was usually very cautious when it came to using Eighth-order Magic.

Previously, because he might need to use this spell at any moment, he would never use this trump card lightly.

Now, indeed, the vacation had arrived, and with nothing posing a threat, the spell could be used more in the direction of lifestyle magic.

But it is, after all, still an Epic Spell. The mana consumption is not small.

"Do you still remember that at the end of the Shadow World, we also got a bonus gift?"

Talia slightly opened the suitcase and took out a sealed letter from inside.

After removing the simple seal, its surface glowed with a sea blue and orange hue interwoven, like the deep sea ripples, as if the boundless blue ocean of Naikarisu Island.

Faintly, there was a whispering echoing in the compartment, like the song of the waves under the clear skies of the Demon World.

"It's Calila's letter."

Lanci accepted the envelope from Talia, the azure ripples appearing particularly gentle under the morning light.

[Handwritten by Calila]

[Category: Art piece]

[Grade: Epic]

[Rank: 1]

[Those who read this handwritten piece will have a slight increase in resistance to Spiritual Magic and Illusion Technique and feel Calila's companionship.]

[Note: There's no reason to fear the night, my child of light. Dawn arrives slowly but surely. After you touch my name, it won't be long.]

Their guess was that, much like the previous material [Calila's Shadow Weave Record], it contained some of Calila's magic power.

If Talia used her spell [Surging Gentle Homeland] which shared the same source of magic power as Calila, it might trigger a phantasmagoria akin to Calila's innate ability.

Since Calila's magic power was full of unknowns, if triggered immediately, it might be similar to when the two of them used Calila's Shadow Weave Record for card-making in Flower Capital Pariel and were enchanted by Calila's magic power, unable to wake up for a long time.

They had to return to the real world of the Cerryti Empire quickly, so they hadn't triggered Calila's handwritten letter gift in the Fringe Space at the end of the Shadow World.

"You said after finishing matters in the Cerryti Empire, we'll watch it together when we return."

Talia hesitated for a bit, and continued to ask Lanci as if probing.

She wasn't sure if Lanci still remembered their hurried promise.

"Of course, we even made a pinky promise."

Lanci nodded earnestly in affirmation.

"Then using Gentle Town now should be fine."

Talia sighed with relief, grateful that Lanci still remembered.

Now indeed, on the train route, it was quite suitable for watching a film, with a feeling like a private cinema viewing.

"Meow! I don't want to get caught, let me step out mrow."

The Cat Boss nimbly leapt off the table, running outside of the compartment.

Soon there should be someone staying awake, as they couldn't all fall asleep, needing to ensure the two of them didn't oversleep the station.

"If you don't feel hungry, I certainly have no problem."

Lanci watched as the Cat Boss closed the crack in the door, then turned back to Talia and replied.

Soon they might be dreaming together for an hour or two.

He feared Talia might get hungry.

"I'm not hungry!"

Talia's blood pressure spiked for a moment.

"Shall we rest for a while then?"

Lanci asked Talia.

"Mm."

Talia responded, using the spell she was now quite familiar with, resonating with the magical letter in her hand.

With the invisible energy, the air within the entire compartment began to ripple with dream-like waves.

Circle after circle of visible ripples expanded rapidly outward, even space seemed to become increasingly unstable, about to ferry them to another time and space.

Lanci and Talia seemed to hear a buzzing in their ears, and then successively slumped over onto the table.

Sleepiness surged like a tide, irresistible.

In a state nearly between sleep and wakefulness, it was already unclear whether it was the will or the body functioning, with eyelids slowly closing, and the vision dimming down.
