Orphan Adventure in the Blue Sea
Chapter 25 Preparation for travel

After chatting with my sisters for approximately an hour, I saw my little sister walk out of the classroom.

“Giselle!” Johannes waved his hand.

　Realizing this, Gisele spoke to her friend, said a few words to her friend, said goodbye, and ran to her brother.

"sister man!"

“Are you also taking classes seriously today, Giselle?”

“Of course, Brother!”

"Yes, it's okay."

"Giselle-tan, I'll be leaving in a week, so I'll take a short break from church school..."

“Yes, Brother, I understand.”

　As Giselle begins her usual prayers at the church, Johann watches her as usual.

　Gisele said hello to the sisters and thanked them for taking care of her sister.

"I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, everything visible and invisible. I believe in one God..."

　Giselle, along with the sisters, offered words of prayer to the statue in the cathedral.

　After praying, the two brothers walked home holding hands.

“Well brother, today is your last class before the holidays, brother,” Gisele said with a smile.

“Yes, Giselle-tan.”

"Everyone's having a farewell party for us! So..."

　After saying that, the two of them walked over while talking.

“Onii-chan, from tomorrow, let's prepare for our journey using miniature magic, that is a subtraction spell that removes shapeless objects!”

"Yes, Giselle-tan! I don't know that magic, so please help me, Giselle-tan!"

“Yes, sister! Leave it to me!”

The two are scheduled to leave the city of Astlan Holland seven days later, on the 23rd, following three messages from the missing chain: `Go travel,''' `Go to the sea,'' and `Findness. '' . There was also a letter that seemed to be from his mother, and he planned to stop by the town of Areios, but after that, he planned to head to the country of Al-Hasa which was by the sea.

　It was a kind of gamble, but the two still decided to believe in the missing chain.

　The next day, the two of them took their grocery bags and went to the city market.

　In just one week, I should be able to buy food and daily necessities for half a year.

　Giselle begins a miniature magic, a subtraction spell that removes amorphous objects, in her apartment with a bunch of food, coats, and clothes she buys at the market.

　I made a space in the middle of the room, put the things I bought there, and covered it with a beige cloth measuring 2m x 2m.

the miniature magic cannot shrink living things, but the food is okay, Giselle said.

“Bound top is 2m square fabric!”

“Well Gisele-tan, macarolo macarolo, be small huh?”

"Onii-chan, what do you mean by calling the Makaroro Mountains? You're strange. Then let's go, onii-chan!"

　Saying that, Giselle drew a pentagram in the sky with her right index finger in front of a lump of cloth and said, `Sabbath.''

　Suddenly, the cloth glowed blue, and the food and clothing hidden within it began to shrink rapidly.

“Oh, looks easy!” Johannes said.

“I think I can do it too!”

“Even with this, the spell is removed, so it will be difficult for beginners and will take about 20 minutes, Onii-chan.”

"A-Is that so...!? That's a surprise."

"Yes, right, brother."

“Giselle witch girl, let's get to the next bundle!”

　After repeating the miniature magic a few times, the two brothers went back to shopping at the market.

　When I returned, I continued the process of shrinking it with miniature magic for 3 to 4 days.

“I-this is all you need, Giselle-tan!!” johannes said that he was tired of carrying his luggage.

“Sister, I no longer want to have to carry my luggage back and forth from home!”

“Yes, sister, we have reached our destination, so it's okay!!”

"...Yes, Giselle-tan."

　Then May 23 arrived. It's Johannes's 18th birthday!

　The day arrives for the two to leave the apartment where they live, Johannes carries a bag in hand and Gisele carries a backpack on her shoulder.

“Aunt Adele, thank you very much for all your help!” Johannes bowed deeply.

“It's okay, Johannes-san, and Giselle-chan, I hope you guys are okay!”

“I may be back again, but for now, thank you for keeping me for the last six years!”

　That said, the two brothers set out from the Dutch city of Astlan, towards a bright future.

　I was greeted by several nuns and pastors from the church who came to take me away.

`my did not tell Gisele in detail, but there was a letter that arrived at the church from someone who resembled my mother.

“I received a letter saying that I want to meet you in the city of Areios, a city in the southern part of Astlan!”

“Eh, onii-chan, is that true?”

"Oh, and there is even a postmark of Ibhar.It even mentioned the constellation Perseus! Even my sister was a little surprised! But, just in case something happens, brother. I'll see you first! Gisele-tan, in that moment, be sure to hide behind a tree and wait! Nice work!"

"Yes, I get it, Brother!"

　While saying so, Johannes patted Giselle on the head, and the two brothers began walking together while humming.

　It should be able to walk to Areios (where it is difficult to reach by horse carriage), and then ride a horse from there.
