章節 165: What's the point of a voyage without flags?

"So in the end, I'm still grounded," I grumbled against the railing of the balcony, looking into the horizon. 

I had thought Natha would revoke my 'punishment' since we were getting all lovey-dovey on the way back. He kept holding me even while we were sleeping, and I woke up still in his arms the next morning.

And yet, the moment we landed in the next town, he confined me inside the hotel we were using to stay. And by that, it meant I wasn't allowed to go anywhere outside the hotel, and I wasn't allowed to use any kind of magic. He went as far as calling the magicians working in the town hall to conduct measurements of the mana quality here, in front of me, and had the magicians say that the level was fine and there was no need for purification, thrice. He told the magicians to tell me that three times. Three times, even though I already told him I understood.

Talk about petty.
