Otherwise, Human History wouldn't have gotten involved.
Thinking of this, Reiger suddenly reached out his hand and mussed up Altoria's hair.
"Hey! What are you doing!?"
Altoria's expression lightened, and she began to dance around, her usual demeanor restored.
"Nothing much, just breaking up those meaningless thoughts," Reiger said, ignoring Altoria's struggle and continued, "If you can't figure something out, there's no point dwelling on it. Just focus on what needs to be done right now."
"What needs to be done right now?"
Altoria stopped struggling.
"Let's go." Reiger said to her, "First, let's see what the chieftain of the Wind Clan has to say."
Altoria lowered her head, deep in thought.
"Mm!"
A moment later, the fairy girl lifted her eyes, as if she had gathered her spirits, and nodded firmly.
Only then did Reiger crack a slight smile, and he walked out of the room with Altoria.
...
The Great Hall of the Ash tree, lord's room.
