"Do not worry, Miss Homura," Shadan spoke, laughing with the depths of his gut, "I too have found myself lost in the beauty of our country, do not be ashamed, for you are proud of your homeland and you've just proven it. Wear it like a badge of honor."

Suishō sighed at her husbands speech, "I think you are trying to read too much into this. She just got lost."

"Bah, my love, You can see Miss Homura's pride on her face. There is no doubt."

She just shook her head and left that matter at that.

"Miss Homura," Suishō commented, "If you wish to return to Kyokujitsugakure, you will have to return to the nearby village or take Allia up on her offer. If you go to the village, you can use one of the Keiyu-chi to arrange transit. Since I doubt they'd be pleased by the request, if you need, just tell them Shadan sent you. They like him enough they'll preform the Sōshin."

The Sōshin was the technique utilized to activate the Keiyu-chi, the transportation system developed for quick movements of people from one side of Kyokujitsu no Tochi, to the other. They were only used for important situations, as Time-Space manipulation was not only energy consuming, but potentially dangerous. While they had gotten them down to a safe standard, Time-Space manipulation was inherently risky given that it was the complete transmission of a human body. Without utilizing something like a Reverse Summoning, which required a significant amount of distribution of physical resources as well, it required the opening of what was essentially a gateway from one Keiyu-chi to another. How the system worked, as well as how it operated, was very much a secret. The names, however, would mean nothing to Allia, so there was no harm in mentioning them to her, especially in the context she was speaking.

"Lady Allia," Shadan spoke, softer than usual, "If you are heading to the capital, could you please take a letter with you? Our eldest is at the capital, training in the academy. we haven't seen him in months."

Suishō nodded, indicating she as well was making the request. Between the two of them, they had three children. Two boys and a girl. The eldest was 16 and potentially up for graduating the academy. Their younger boy was 10, training with some of the Border Guard before leaving for the academy himself in three months. Their daughter, the youngest and their baby, was a mere 6 and still exploring the wonders of the world around her with a zeal that only those that young could have.
