I Was a Loner, but My Class Got Summoned to Another World…-Chapter 170: Take Action
A two-day flight meant a five-day walk, especially with supplies. Logan and his company had set out early the next morning to find the labyrinth. They took all the flying creatures to scout from the sky while a ground unit followed from below, making camp every few kilometers while the ones flying sorted out the directions.

Logan, being the fastest with Zephyr, rushed ahead to find the labyrinth. The two-day journey for him would probably be a day and some hours with Zephyr’s top speed and Logan’s use of magic to recover his stamina.
Just as the first day was about to end, Logan went back to where the camp was made. He, along with Zephyr, were exhausted, but Logan knew that within three days, the labyrinth would be found. The problem was the caravan that followed from the ground.
As soon as Zephyr landed, Logan took out food for the bird—three carcasses of game they found throughout the long flight. They were large birds and flying reptiles, so it only took a few shots of ice magic and wind blades to cut them down.
"Is everyone doing alright?" Logan asked, seeing Kai and Chloe sitting around a campfire they had just made.
"No problem here. Only a few monsters tried attacking, but nothing we couldn’t handle. Even the strongest of beasts ran away after we got organized. Just as you commanded, we let those that wanted to leave run."
"Good," Logan said while patting Kai’s shoulder.
"Food will be done soon. The rest of those who took to the sky will arrive any moment now," said Ruri, who had pleaded to come and was now working with a few maids to prepare the meals.
"Thanks, Ruri. As always, the food smells good." Logan held on to his stomach to keep the grumbling from being heard.
After a few minutes of waiting, Logan decided to serve himself, unable to stand the hunger. Everyone present joined after, and a few of those flying arrived in time to eat the hot meal. Afterward, everyone rested while watching one of Marie’s new movies, this time about a magical world where a boy with a lightning scar on his forehead fought against a large basilisk.
The first movie was a hit within his town, and they even wanted to construct a railroad. Ruben, who had asked his friend Bobby to join him in making a train, was already making plans to create the large magical-powered vehicle, probably the first of its kind in this world.

Lisa, who sat near Logan, was enjoying the movie, even wanting a wand, which was later discussed with the group. Some said wands helped in making a stronger spell, while others believed they limited their power output.
"I think I will have Ruben create a staff for me. I mean, this is a game-like world for us, maybe with a crystal or something it might increase my lacking power," Lisa said, forgetting to ask the boy for a weapon since all those who cast magic in this world did not seem to need the tool.
"Hey, Logan, you should take a look at Orus. I think he will need help recovering. Why don’t you go with Lisa? I think I saw a few of his wings plucked from the side of his neck… wonder what that is about." Alma asked Logan while winking when no one was looking.
"Sure…" Logan noticed what she was trying to do, especially when Alma was the one who had suggested putting on such a great movie to keep everyone else entertained.
Lisa, who had seen the movie, started to worry about her bird and got up. Logan followed her, knowing that Orus was just far enough away so the others wouldn’t notice the duo. Logan knew for a fact that Alma had planned all this.
"Now, where is that spot Alma was talking about… I hope I did not put the harness on incorrectly," Lisa said, while checking the beast’s neck and taking off the belts that sustained the harness, using her magic to light the way.
"I think it must have healed. Maybe it was during the morning that Alma saw it…" Logan said, taking out light elemental crystals for the birds to enjoy.
Lisa, after checking on the griffin, sat next to it. Logan looked back at the camp, which was far enough away that no one would see them. The boy then sat next to Lisa and joined her as she was stargazing.
"What a great view. It’s nice to see this, something we couldn’t back on Earth… I do miss my smartphone, though," Lisa laughed while Logan enjoyed looking at her smile.
"Yes, I also miss some games I had on my phone. Too bad I will probably never see them again," Logan said, making small talk while in his mind he was going over the mission.
His hands trembled a little as he thought about how to proceed. Should it be just like with Serana—a quick kiss without prior notice—or should he prepare Lisa for it?
"Say, Lisa…" Logan cleared his throat.
"Yes?" Lisa stopped looking at the sky to check on the boy who had a serious expression.
"You know… we’ve known each other since we were kids. I enjoyed that back then; it was the best part of my life. And well, although we didn’t meet in the right circumstances after, I can say without a doubt that… oh, freak it. Lisa, I like you." Logan scratched his head in embarrassment. He knew he wasn’t the best speaker, so he just did as Alma pointed out and took action.
"Logan?" Lisa stared at the boy, not knowing what to say but was happy with his confession. She did not expect what he did next, though.
Having gotten courage from Alma’s advice and knowing action was better than words, Logan just went for the kiss. He knew it would end up in either a slap or an unexpected reaction.
