(One Day later)
"What a very wide row of cliffs!" Arthur said, as soon as he saw the row of cliffs before him. His expression looks very enthusiastic.
"Basic hick..!" Grunts Aria, from inside the car.
Hearing that, Arthur immediately put on an expression wanting to reply to Aria's slurs, but Master Estro stopped him with a deadly sharp look.
'Hmmm... Just look later…!' Arthur's grunts were upset, inwardly.
"Young lady, we have reached the Merak hills region, after passing through these hills, we will reach the Glaire Empire's capital." Master Estro.
"Why do you always report unimportant things? I already know that, I also have eyes!" Aria answered from the car.
"Young lady, why does your mood lately look bad? Does this have anything to do with these two brats?" Master Estro asked, pointing at Theo and Arthur.
"Who do you call a boy?" Arthur snapped, looks unacceptable.
"Have been... free to take care of this old man, we better do the competition again." Theo said, trying to calm Arthur down.
"Ohh. boss, what kind of competition is it this time?" Arthur asked enthusiastically, forgetting that he was upset.
"Actually quite simply, now we do a race run, who first reaches the foot of the hill in front, he wins." Theo said, pointing at the foot of the hill some distance ahead of him.
"Ohh, this time I won't lose." Arthur started to prepare for the run.
However, suddenly Aria who was originally inside the carriage, jumped out. He quickly ran towards the foot of the hill.
"Hmmm.... Two snails want to run a race? I'll show you what speed means to you!" Aria said, while running.
"That shit, you fucking witch!" Seeing Aria unceremoniously enter the race, Arthur becomes very upset. Especially this girl with her leisure stealing start.
"I won't lose to you!" Shouted Arthur. Then he started running after Aria.
"Ahhh... young lady, please don't keep going like that!" Shouted Master Estro, when he saw Aria out of the group without any escort again.
"Here you go, stop sending people to chase after her, I'll take care of your young miss!" Theo said, seeing Master Estro preparing to send a bodyguard to chase after Aria.
A moment later, Theo ran quickly after Arthur and Aria who were already far ahead.

(Foot of the Hill)
"Hahhahaha, I'll show you what speed means, what a joke!" Theo laughed loudly, while repeating Aria's words.
"Lack what? I got here faster, that's the fact!" Answer Theo casually.
"The boss..! This time I agree with this witch, you cheat! Stop using your weird gravity technique!" Arthur was protesting.
"Hahh.. lose ya lose, stop looking for excuses, you loser duo! From the beginning there were no rules, I just said race run. So whoever gets there first, he wins." Theo said, raising both shoulders. Put on an innocent expression.
"You….!!!" Aria was getting annoyed with Theo's innocent pretentious expression.
"By the way, these hills are really interesting, it looks more like a labyrinth than it is called a hill." Theo said, switching the conversation.
In front of the current Theo, at the foot of the Merak hill, there is a gap created from the crush of several hills. This gap extends following a row of hills on its sides.
At the end of the gap that Theo could see at this time, there were several more branches, Theo who was curious, had jumped very high utilizing Mana Gravity to get a clearer picture. And to Theo's amazement, it turns out that the gap branch in front of him is not the only one.
At the other end, there are other branches, and so on, so it looks to form a labyrinth that is created naturally from a row of so many hills.
"Hmmmm. The base of the hick, this is called Peacock hill, so to get to the capital of Glaire Empire, we have to pass through this row of hills first." Aria began to explain.
"However, not just anyone is able to pass through these hills, because of the many branches of the road, only people who have an official map are able to pass through it, otherwise, they will be lost forever in there."
"And this map, will only be given by the government of Glaire Empire to guests they consider important. In that case, our House of Braveheart is one of them." Aria closed her explanation with an expression of pride.
"Boss..by the way, aren't we going to Blackwood Empire? Why are we headed for the Glaire Empire's capital?" Arthur asked, seemingly indifferent to Aria.
"You…." Aria looked awkward, because her explanation that was accompanied by pride did not care.
"Ohh, that's because, in order to reach Blackwood Empire we can't possibly use a road trip. Although they were still both in the North Region, it remained that the two empires were separated by a great distance." Theo began to explain, seeming to ignore Aria with her pride.
"We need to use the official portal that connects the three capitals of the three empires that exist in the North Region. That way, we can travel much faster." Theo closed his explanation.
"Official mortal? You mean that famous space portal? Which was specially created from meteorite metal so that it can bend space?" Ask Arthur.
"Truely, the concept is almost the same as that of a spacial ring, but it is used in a somewhat different way. The resources used are also different, because it requires a large number of additional resources to create this portal."
"Only an imperial party with abundant resources can create and activate this portal." Close Theo.
"So like that, I can't wait to see it!" Arthur replied, very enthusiastic.
"Haha. Not only you, I'm also curious and can't wait to see it!" Theo. Besides being curious, Theo also wanted to know a little about this portal, his Forging talent always boiled over when imagining about the space portal.
"You two, stop ignoring me like I'm not here!" Snapped Aria, now very upset with two people in front of him who like not to consider his existence.
"Haha.. Arthur, want another race?" Ask Theo.
"Ohh.. What other race is Boss?" Ask Arthur, curious.
"Who comes first at the end of the forked road that is there, he wins!" Theo.
"No, I don't want another race if you still use your Gravity technique! That's cheating!" Dengus Arthur's.
"Well, all right, this time it's an ordinary race, without any tricks!" Answer Theo.
"Agreed..!" Arthur answered briefly, then without waiting for cue, ran forward, stole the start.
"Basic.…! Ahhaha…." Theo laughed briefly at Arthur's behavior, then ran after him.
Seeing Theo and Arthur enter the gap of the ravine, Aria became a little worried.
"Both of you, stop! didn't I say it was dangerous to go in without a map!" Shouted Aria.
"That's just the tip in front, why are you so worried? don't tell me you're just scared, 'cause Kali can't steal a start!" Shouted Theo back.
"What did you say? Who's afraid!" Snapped Aria, then without thinking again went ahead chasing the two.
