"Wohooo!!!" Gina screamed with joy as the Griffin they were riding flew into the air.
Feeling the wind on her face, Elise couldn't help but smile at the expression of Gina sitting in front of her.
"Holy shit! We really fly!" Checo sounded more frightened than delighted. He rode the other Griffin alone and held on to it so tightly.
"Don't hold him so tight, Checo!" Gina laughed. "He'll knock you down!"
Gina then looked at the trees that looked like they were shrinking below. Her smile now looks faint. "Ah, when was the last time I did something fascinating like this, huh? When I recruit people who have the same goal? Ah, maybe long before that. I have fun sometimes, but I can't say I really enjoy it."
"How did you meet Checo and the others?" Elise asked, this time of her own accord.
Gina was silent for a moment, still smiling. "As I said earlier, I recruited them, Elise. You know that Dani and I are old friends, right? For others, I did some research. Asking here and there to find people who share the same fate as us."
The journey continued for a few minutes, and finally, they almost reached their destination.
"Titan Mandrake." Gina hissed. "It doesn't really belong to the mandrake family, but people have named the plant that way because their looks are similar."
Elise Gulped. The creature that Gina was referring to was already visible in the distance. It is shaped like a giant baby made of roots, has a dark purple color, its head is covered with leaves, and there is only a hole where the eyes should be. And what made it even more intimidating was that it was taller than the surrounding trees.
It is a giant.
"A-as we planned, we will jump when we get close to the trees!" Elise said with a nervous gesture. She looked at the purple leaf trees below that looked like they were getting closer and closer. The Griffin she was riding in had already begun to lower its flight. "The goddess of nature doesn't want these griffins to join the fight. They are very rare animals, and they are also needed for us to go home…. Kyaaa!!!"
The Griffins' descent speed increased even more. Gina stood with her feet on the beast's back, then shouted. "Catch my body!!!"
The woman jumped up, releasing wind pressure from her hand, which she aimed downwards. Her falling speed is reduced, her friends then jumped to her. Checo managed to hug Gina's stomach while Elise caught the mage's leg.
"What are you doing, Elise!?" Gina screamed in panic. "Why didn't you hug me before I jumped!?"
"Sorry, I'm so nervous!"
The three of them were moving wildly in the air and screaming. Gina tried to stabilize her position with her magic. Still, her balance was messed up because Elise held onto her legs instead of her body.
"Can you climb onto my body, Elise!?" Gina pleaded, but Elise didn't listen and was still busy screaming. The mage had no choice but to continue to activate her wind magic. She must slow down their falling momentum, even though she and her two companions swayed in various directions.
And then, Checo puffed his cheeks.
"Don't you dare throw up on my clothes, Checo!!!" Gina seemed more afraid of that happening than falling down.
"Follow Gina's orders, Elise! Or you and them will get a nasty fall! They don't have armor as good as you or the privilege to be revived in God's realm!" Raymund snapped.
Elise tried to ignore the wild movements that kept throwing her and her two friends. Slowly she began to climb onto the mage's body.
"Wait, Elise! Don't hold on to that part!" Gina panicked even more, when Elise grabbed the top of her pants.
Suddenly Elise's body fell quickly, taking Gina's pants with her. The lower part of the mage's body became completely bare because her panties were also carried by Elise's hands.
"That looks familiar…." Raymund muttered.
Luckily, the pants caught in both of Gina's shoes, and they weren't tossed around anymore. Gina managed to get herself and her two friends down at a slow speed.
"Finally, we stabilized." Checo breathed a sigh of relief after swallowing his own vomit. "I thought we were going to die."
"Yes, we are not tossed around anymore!!!" Gina grumbled with a face as red as a ripe tomato. "But, my pussy almost froze because of the strong wind, you know!!??"
"Sorry…" Elise just said a word, and one of Gina's shoes came off, making the female warrior's position even more dangerous. She clinging to Gina's pants like a Tarzan.
"No…. Please…. No…." Gina looks almost crying. Her other shoe is about to come off as well. "I'll kill you if you let go of that too, Elise."
They continued to approach the purple leaves above the trees. Elise looked at Gina nervously, and the mage responded by shaking her head.
Finally, Gina's last shoe came off, along with her pants and panties.
"Kyaaaaa!!!" Elise plunged, entered the thicket of leaves, hit various branches, then fell face down on the big roots. "Ouch..."
And after that, one of Gina's shoes landed on her head.
"It seems you really have to practice good landing." Raymund stifled a laugh.
Elise didn't really feel the impact because her fall was reduced by the leaves and twigs. She quickly got up and cleaned her body.
A gust of wind hit Elise. Gina came down, still using her wind magic.
Elise could see the mage's private parts clearly.
"Give me our bag, Checo!" Once she landed on the ground, Gina held out a hand to Checo while she used the other to keep her robe from moving in an unwanted direction. Unfortunately, her robe wasn't very long and only reached her buttocks, barely covering her crotch.
If she's fighting, that will create problems.
Checo grimaced. "Sorry, I don't even know where our bag is. Maybe it fell when I jumped or when we swayed."
With an unusually stiff movement, Gina turned to her male partner. "Excuse me? What the fuck?"
Elise came to Gina with a pair of shoes belonging to the mage, which happened to be lying nearby. The female warrior also grimaced. "I am really, really sorry."
