"I'm going to step out for a bit. I'll be back in just a few hours, okay?"
Clementine just gave me a thumbs up without taking her eyes off the book.
Chuckling, I left the hot spring cave and began slowly flying away.
I didn't need to go that far, but seeing the destroyed ground around me and the debris of a fallen mountain, I kind of felt bad.
So I went straight west, to the plains.
There was a long river between the mountains and the plains.
Hanazora ended at the river, and from what I recall, this whole territory of plains, up until the ocean, belonged to the barbarians.
It wasn't the biggest land, and there were more countries surrounding it from all sides, basically cornering and pressuring the barbarians.
Also, despite them being called barbarians, all they were was just people wielding axes and having primarily body-enhancing Gifts.
Since they were much stronger than others and wielded axes, there was some prejudice, obviously.
