After the wedding, Ben and Mira have a passionate first night as husband and wife. It wasn't their first intercourse so it shouldn't be different, but it is. It can't be described clearly but it's just different from usual and it is more incredible in every way.
The town of Magnolia is still busy even a week after the wedding. A lot of people who came there didn't return home immediately. They stay there and enjoy the things in the town because it would be a waste to just come here for a day and return home afterwards.
So the wedding increased the town's economy for a week although it decreased Ben's economy a lot. But with a lot of people here, his company also got free advertisement as many people tried out the company's demo cars, so they will spread their impression of the cars.
And a week after the wedding, Ben and Mira go on a honeymoon. They don't have any specific destination and simply go on an adventure. This is what Ben likes and Mira eventually liked his style of adventuring.
Of course, they drive a car, instead of walking like Ben did when he was 16. They go to places Ben hasn't explored on his year long journey in the past. He thought he had explored the entire continent of Fiore, but now that he had more information, he discovered that he didn't.
So they go to those places and set up a camp to rest at night. They cook their food themselves and get the ingredients themselves by hunting or collecting it. Normal people wouldn't consider this to be a honeymoon, but of them feel it to better than just going to tourist destinations because this type of honeymoon makes them feel closer.
"Now I truly understand why you like adventuring like this. I can see this world is bigger than I thought. Even similar locations are different and have their own beauty." Mira said while they gaze at the stars at night.
"Right? There are many things that we don't know about in this world. Human life is too short to discover everything, but it will be nice to see a lot of things that this world has before we die." Ben said with a smile.
"Then let's see those things together." Mira said while getting on top of Ben.
"Of course, Mrs. Cooper." Ben replied playfully, making Mira blush.
They kiss and Ben teleported them inside the tent before they did something naughty. The next day, they resumed their journey and enter a desert. Exploring a desert is quite difficult for most people because of the temperature.
Ben didn't feel anything though because he is resistant to heat. Instead, he felt quite comfortable in the desert because he can feel the sun more than in other areas here. He even took his shirt off to feel the sunlight more through his car's windows.
On the other hand, Mira is sitting in the rear passenger seat and covered the rear windows with a cloth to block out the sunlight. She also turned the AC to it's lowest temperature. To help her, Ben placed a barrier to separate the front and rear so the temperature on both sides will be different.
"Why does this desert feel hotter than other devices that I've ever visited? This is the first time I can't stand a desert's heat." Mira asked.
"Really? I can't tell the difference. All deserts are the same to me." Ben said.
"That's because you're more comfortable in hot places with more sunlight. I can assure you that this place is hotter than most deserts." Mira replied.
"Hmm maybe there's a reason for that. It smells like adventure." Ben said, excited.
Mira doesn't know what Ben was thinking but she knew they might be in the desert longer than they've planned. She just sighed because there's nothing she can do about it. Ben will still do whatever he wants to do no matter what she says because he is very stubborn about things like this.
So Mira just watches as Ben uses his sharp senses to scan the surrounding area. But moving on the ground is limiting his visibility, so he chose to fly. Light Runner transformed into a flying car and it flew 1 km above the desert.
With Ben's sharp eyes, it's easy to see everything down below. As a Devil/Dragon/God Slayer, all of his senses are sharper than anyone else's. He can even see a pair of scorpions fighting near a rock.
Then after flying for a few minutes, Ben saw something from a faraway location. He saw rocky mountains with shark peaks. His super strong senses can feel a familiar yet unknown magic power emanating from the rocky mountains.
Without any hesitation, Ben directed Light Runner to fly as fast as it could to the rocky mountains. They arrive at the rocky mountains and fly over them. The things that they found there were quite surprising.
Trees grow in the area in the center of the formation of the rocky mountains. But that's not the thing that was surprising. The rocky mountains are surrounding a civilization. And not just any civilization, it's a one of a kind civilization.
Massive buildings can be seen there and massive figures were also there. Yes, giants are living here. Real and living giants. There's no record of this location, so they may have been the first to find this place or the kingdom was hiding it.
Ben and Mira look at each other before they nod and Ben controlled Light Runner to go down. They land in front of what appears to be a town gate, or a village gate if they consider the size of the residents here.
A pair of giant guards approach them as they exit their vehicle. Ben and Mira look at the giants that were standing in front of them. They are astonished by the giant's sizes. Ben is surprisingly tall for a human, but even he is shorter than the giant's ankles.
"Oh, human visitors. It's been a long time since outside humans came here." A giant said.
'So humans came here before. That means this place's existence is being kept secret. Or maybe it's been too long so the record has disappeared. The possibility of that being the case is high because I never found any record even though I'm a Wizard Saint. A giant's lifespan is really long so it's understandable that they still remember it, but humans don't.' Ben thought.
"Now I wonder how that child is doing after leaving the village?" One of the giants asked out loud.
"Hey, we have guests, it's rude to talk about another thing right in front of them." Another giant said.
'A child leaving the village? Are there humans living here?' Ben questioned mentally.
He thought about many possibilities, but he stopped thinking about those things after Mira pulled his sleeve. He then looks at the giants who also looked at them and decided to talk.
"Good afternoon, sir giants. I'm sorry for coming here without any prior notice. My name is Ben Cooper and this is my wife, Mirajane Cooper. We are mages from the Fairy Tail guild, a legal guild in the Kingdom of Fiore. We were on our way across the desert when we found this place. Please excuse our intrusion." Ben said, bowing a little.
Mira also bows while smiling happily when she heard Ben introduce her as Mirajane Cooper. The giants are pleased with their manners. It's not that the giants really care a lot about their manners, but they still prefer polite guests.
"It's okay, little friends. Humans are welcome here." One of the giants said.
"Yes, you are free to enter as long as you follow the rules and don't cause trouble." The other giant said.
"We understand." Ben nodded.
Suddenly, Ben picked up a familiar scent and the familiar magic that he sensed before became stronger. He is sure that he never smelled this scent or sensed this magic before. It felt familiar though and he soon realized why.
"A dragon! Is there a dragon here?" Ben asked hastily to the giants with a hopeful tone.
