"Run!"
I grabbed Lily's hand and started running — but Lily couldn't run! Lily could not move properly. Was the residual shock from the earlier magic still affecting her? Did that magic have selectivity? Or did age play a role? This was no time to be thinking such things!
"Lily! Get on my back!!"
"..."
She couldn't speak? She was shaking her hands — was she saying it was impossible?
"Idiot! Hurry!!"
I forced my hips under Lily and lifted her up. Ohh! She was lighter than I expected!
"Stevie! Hold them off! We're running!"
"Yes!!"
We started running. Of course it was not light-footed. But we were probably faster than ordinary people. The question was how long we could maintain this.
