"If you follow this Great Mage, you'll be able to visit places you usually wouldn't dare to!"
Seeing her heartfelt smile, the Emerald Eye girl couldn't help but let the corners of her once-tense mouth curl into a smile.
"Of course, leave it to me."

A year later, her best friend officially became a Professional, while she, with thunderous might, thoroughly cleared all the Goblin nests around the city, accumulating enough combat experience.
Five years later, her best friend completed their Second Transformation, and she officially stepped into the Legendary Realm, becoming one of the brightest geniuses in the entire Kingdom.
The two embarked together on a journey to explore the world.
Since childhood, due to her mage education, she wasn't good at conversation, and coupled with her proud personality, she was used to leaving tasks involving negotiations to her best friend to manage.
And that girl, skilled in Spirit magic and Healing, would assist her in battle.
Though as a Legendary Battle Mage able to summon hurricanes and thunderstorms with a wave of her hand, ordinary magic creatures and thieves were hardly a match for her, in the face of powerful foes, her best friend's support always proved to be crucial.
Spirit Magic and Elemental Magic, both are magic.
Magic, is very powerful.
Then came the sixth year, the seventh year... the tenth year——
Their footprints spread across the entire Kingdom, across countless mountains and towns.
They even visited multiple foreign countries, and even set their sights on unknown continents.
Another winter solstice came, the Twin Moons overlapped, and she welcomed another birthday, with her by her side.

♛: The best friend disappeared.
The day after celebrating her birthday, when the girl awoke from the soft bed in the "Mage's House," the other side of the bed was already empty.
The bedding had lost its warmth, the cold touch made her heart sink suddenly.
The girl dismantled the magically constructed house, the wind spreading with perception, reaching countless li away.
Whether through mountains, plains, or every place they ever paused, the wind passed through, yet never caught that familiar aura.
From day into night, she rushed nonstop, searching through every place they had once stepped together, back to the city of birth, to the Border's Snow Mountain, into the Capital's Mage Palace, to the Holy City's Holy Square...
But no matter where she went, she couldn't find her best friend's figure.
Tulle from dusk before dawn covered the land, the girl stood dazed in the dimness.
Until the first ray of dawn hit her face, she suddenly came to her senses, hurriedly rummaging through her backpack.
The paper was thin, yet it hadn't torn from the long journey.
Her fingers slightly trembled, unfolding that familiar handwriting.
'I'm sorry.' Google seaʀᴄh novel★fire.net
'I was too cowardly.'
'No matter what, I find myself unable to stick it out, unable to stay by your side any longer.'
'I know full well, this will make it impossible for you to forgive yourself.'
'This must be the sin I will never atone for.'
'But if... even so, you still see me as a friend.'
'I think, until I see you, I will surely continue to wander aimlessly.'
The last word on the letter blurred in her sight.
The Hero suddenly opened her eyes, tears streaming down the corners.
