This Hardly Feels Like a Vacation

「Alright, we've arrived. Get out.」
「Huh, this place is...」
How much time had I spent rattling around in that carriage? We took breaks, but even when I saw unknown villages and towns, I couldn't figure out the location. The surveillance was strict, and I couldn't talk to any residents.
After days of continuous travel by carriage, when she finally announced our arrival, my body felt completely broken.
At this point, I didn't care where the destination was. I just wanted to say goodbye to carriage life, or my bottom would disintegrate! The news of our arrival, therefore, made my eyes light up.
However, the moment my feet touched the ground and I saw the scenery before me, I was speechless.
Because I knew where this was... that is, the moment I realized my current location, I was stunned.
「This is the Entrance to the Demonic Realm... Zacardia Village, isn't it?」
But there was a possibility of a mistake. I turned around and asked Nonnalie for confirmation, and the reply was, 「Oh, you knew?」 My guess was correct. Not that I was happy about it.
「W-why did we come to such a remote place...?」
「It is far, isn't it? Truly far. From your country, you probably only know that there is a village called Zacardia in a distant foreign land, right?」
「I've heard it's the end of the human world, located on the border with the Demonic Realm.」
「That's right, that's it. The land at the very edge, Zacardia. Well, for people from this country, let alone a foreign one, who have never visited this village, that kind of knowledge is probably all they have.」
Saying that, Nonnalie shrugged.
The end of the human world—that is Zacardia Village.
Near the village, there is a large fissure in the ground. Rumor has it that it's a remnant from when the Demon King and the Hero fought long ago... Whether that is true or not, no one knows anymore.
But indeed, a huge crack stretched across the land near the village, as if dividing the earth in two straight lines. It would be difficult to check the ends of that crack. It stretched for such a long distance.
The chasm was wide, and the land visible on the other side was dozens of meters away.
And beyond that lies the Demonic Realm, where demons and monsters reside. From the large forest spreading out on the other side of the fissure, a hair-raising, terrifying roar went up, as if timed perfectly.
「I-is that a monster?」
「Who knows? The people of this village are so used to that level of shouting, they don't even notice. If you want to know, why don't you go take a look?」
「No, how would I do that?」
「As a Light Magic user, you can fly, can't you?」
「I am not Superman.」
「What is that?」
She doesn't get it, oh well.
In any case, Light Magic doesn't have a convenient function like flight. While it is possible to creatively use it to create magic equivalent to flight, I have no intention of using it now. I must conserve my magic power until the moment I need it.
「So, what do you want me to do? Since Light Magic is not Holy Magic, I cannot annihilate evil demons or anything like that.」
This is an easy thing to misunderstand. Light and Holy are similar but fundamentally different.
「Even if you can't annihilate them, you can defeat them, can't you?」
「...」
「Your silence means yes.」
「Oh, really?」
I didn't think I could win against Nonnalie with words. Silence is my weapon. It's better not to say anything foolish.
But even so, Nonnalie probably sees right through everything.
「Well, whatever. Let's enter the village for now. Follow me.」
What would she do if I refused and tried to run away here? I know my current location. I could open a map in my head and think about how to escape and get home.
However, since I can't read what Nonnalie will do, I still feel that it's better not to move rashly. Although I know the place on a map, this is my first time here. To try and figure out where to go and how to return from a distant foreign land... seems a bit too reckless.
Besides, there's that.
(Nonnalie has a Dark Magic user on her side. That is my natural enemy as a Light Magic user... Since I don't even know what kind of magic they use, running away would not be a smart move.)
I can't see the Dark Magic user. But I can feel a definite presence. The Dark Magic user is watching me and Nonnalie from somewhere.
An unknown land, unknown Nonnalie's forces.
In that case, it is better to obey her than to run.
I nodded silently and followed Nonnalie.
「I don't dislike obedience.」
「I dislike you.」
「Hehe, you truly are honest.」
Even though I clearly showed my rejection, Nonnalie smiled, unperturbed. She certainly looked beautiful and charming.
(I wonder if this is what attracted my husband to her back then.)
Nonnalie, who was once Lord Cloud's lover. Being with her inevitably makes me wonder (what kind of relationship did they have?).
Distractions create openings. And right now, I must not show any openings.
I quickly shook my head to regain focus and looked up.
We passed through the impressive gate, which I don't know how effective it is against demons and monsters.
I gasped at the sight of the village's current state beyond it.
