Chapter 357 – Sky Trip

 

The sun rays pouring down on the land through the lingering clouds wraps us up in a gentle warmth.

A nice breeze tickles my face.

My clothes remain the same old dark green coloring, but now they’ve changed into the shape of a tank top – a mini version of Hal’Konk.

And exactly because we’ve been in the dense Sea of Trees until now…this azure scenery, the wind, and the sunlight deeply sink into my heart.

“I’ve seen that whirly fur somewhere…the Sea of Tree’s bolschid, huh How unusual…” Higlia’s voice reaches me from behind, but I don’t respond to it.

I enjoy the relaxed flight through the sky with Divine Beast Rollodeen with everyone riding on her back.

And Rollo seems to feel the same as she transmits 『Nice』 and 『Warm』 through our shared senses.

Haha, no kidding, it’s really warm.

This warm light feels like the sun god is blessing us all.

Suddenly the light shining through the clouds on our right disperses, creating a pale rainbow.

A beautiful rainbow and the clouds – the rainbow twinkles while bending, causing the clouds’ hue to change.

I discover the big face of a divine woman as a nuance, but it immediately disappears.

No one besides me has noticed the mysterious cloud which transformed into a woman’s face just now.

I wonder whether Rollodeen hasn’t perceived her either.

…But it seems like my partner has been looking in a different direction.

Then the space that drew my partner’s attention warps, revealing an unnatural scenery… What’s that A monster and a black-haired woman Eh Mia

Ah, it’s gone…

Kisara, who’s riding her darkness whale Rotalz, hasn’t noticed anything either.

No one has seen the god-like illusion and the instantaneous appearance of Mia.

…The strange phenomena continue.

Mia appeared to be flustered, but she held a wand… That’s not real, is it I ponder whether I’ve been influenced in an odd way by Ciel.

Or is it an effect of me having drunk Schmihazar’s blood I don’t know, but the goddess was an illusion as well, right

The goddess wore a crescent moon crown.

A single, short antler protruded out of her long, white hair… Her nose with its high bridge continuing from her white Demonic Eyes possessed a streak of pride.

She wore a white robe, opened at her chest, and her long hands were visible as they jutted out of the sleeves.

A miniature planet and moons floated on the palm of her hand.

She slowly dispersed as if naturally melting into the clouds.

This world is extremely dangerous as it’s teeming with chaos, but…at the same time it is a wonderful world containing beautiful, ephemeral things.

As I become strongly aware of that fact, my bangs sway.

A pleasant headwind keeps running past my body.

At that point, Rotalz enters my visual field.

Of course Kisara as well.

But rather than her riding him, you should probably say that she’s sitting on his forehead.

It’s the same style as when I met her for the first time – the pose of a Thinker with her legs crossed.

It seems like I’d be able to see her panties, and then again not.

Kisara and Rotalz are flying in a way suggesting that they’re protecting Rollodeen, or rather, me.

Her passionate gaze keeps following me around all the time.

Well, I did accept Kisara’s pledge of allegiance, so yeah…

“Do whatever you want.

Right now, we need to hurry with getting back,” I told her coldly and curtly, placing my priority on returning to Quiche.

Back then she cupped her own hands and raised them, chest high as a polite salute while lowering her head.

Still, it’s quite rowdy behind me, isn’t it

Thinking so, I look back while holding onto the tentacle rein…spotting the small Taro.

It already released its magic outfit, but it’s still as tiny as ever.

“Puyuyu!” It hoists up its twisted wand, greeting everyone who’s riding on Rollodeen’s back.

And then, without giving anyone time to do anything…Taro hits off with the mysterious duo of Moga and Nemus.

But I guess it makes sense, seeing how Moga looks like a penguin.

I mean Taro looks like a bear cub, a plush bear, and a moving cartoon dancer.

Taro is getting along especially well with Nemus.

The tree giant brings her face close to Taro in slow motion.

Without being wary of her, Taro squeals, “Puyu! Puyuyuyu~”, and embraces Nemus’ head with its tiny arms and legs.

Did it find a liking to Nemus’ crystalline eyes Its teddy bear-like hugging is seriously cute…

After crossing its legs with a nimble agility, Taro relocates to Nemus’ shoulder by jumping, and yaps away, now standing on her shoulder.

Just like that, Taro patters across Nemus’ nape, which looks like a rock mass, heading to the other shoulder.

“I’m Nemus!” Nemus inclines her head while shaking her shoulders.

She chases Taro with her eyes that appear to be heavy thanks to the tree branches growing out as eyelids, blinking incessantly.

Does she want to show Taro the maple kanji carved on her shoulder Kaede-san sure has it tough, I suppose.

I wonder whether she’s always thinking something along the lines of 『Even though I’m called Kaede, I’m always Nemus…』.

If that’s the case, it’d be really pitiful.

So far I’ve only seen her say, “I’m Nemus.” Even if she were to try to draw letters on the ground with her huge hands, it looks like it’d be hard for her to draw detailed lines…

Continuously blinking her eyes, she further shakes her body, appealing to Taro in her very own way.

Though I’m not sure whether Taro is capable of understanding that kind of communication.

Is the blinking of her eyes a Morse code of sorts

Well, I think it’s rather unlikely even for a reincarnator to remember Morse code.

“Puyu”

“I, a, m Nemus.”

“Puyu! Puyuyu~n.”

They keep having such enigmatic conversation.

Afterwards, Nemus’ thick legs draw Taro’s interest.

It starts to excitedly poke a leg with the pommel of its wand.

In response, Moga flies into a rage, picking a fight with Taro.

Higlia reacts to that.

“Beastman with the whirly fur! It’s wrong to quarrel! We’re currently in the sky, and even though you’re hidden by Divine Beast-sama, a quarrel between us will only summon the ancient gods!”

Taro seems to hail from a race called bolschid.

Well, it’s a small bear cub, though.

The ancient wolfmen seem to be in conflict with the ancient god Go Rad and the orcs.

“Beastwoman, you’re too loud.”

“Puyuyuyu”

“Ugh, don’t look at me with those eyes…that fur is foul play…” Higlia mutters with her eyes sparkling as she apparently fancies Taro’s eyes and fur.

She approaches Taro with swift movements befitting an ancient wolfwoman.

But, Taro is fast as well, scurrying away from her.

Arry and Taack join in the chase of Taro, seemingly considering it fun.

Even Rollo seems to be curious as to what’s happening on her back while she keeps flying… She extends her tentacles to everyone, participating in the ruckus by pranking with tickles.

As she entangles her tentacles around everyone, including me as well, things develop into a brawl.

As the finishing blow for the scuttle, Gramps Ton says, “The first blow is half the battle,” and joins in together with a granny wearing an Indian-styled outfit.

The mysterious, bandaged boy with just one leg and arm participates as well.

I wanna tell him to not try the impossible, but oh well…

Nex the dwarf with the seeds at his waist, and the lumberjack Eboué rush over as well, turning the whole into a completely nonsensical mess…

Seemingly startled by the tentacles’ sensation, the fat elven woman screams, “Noooo!”, bumping against a karamnian with a leech-like tongue.

The karamnian woman almost falls off Rollodeen.

I try to rescue her, but Maurique, who’s got a large body build, reacts before me, saving the karamnian by catching her with his thick arms.

“You okay”

“T-Thanks, Maurique…”

A nice mood develops between her and Maurique as they stare at each other.

This whole scene reminds me of the epic movie “The Beauty and the Beast.”

The thin girl Riedel smiles gently while looking at the two staring at each other while embracing.

Riedel hasn’t joined the brawl.

She simply enjoys massaging the backside of Rollo’s tentacle with her small fingers.

Yep, that’s the correct choice.

The pads are definitely the greatest small happiness you can get.

As I’m thinking that I might get along with Riedel, Moga snarls, “Bear cub! Don’t poke Nemus! In the first place, what’s that tiny monster at the tip of your wand!”

“I am, Nemus.”

“Puyuyuyuu, puyuyuu!”

“…I don’t understand that language! Ah, don’t bite! No way! Are you planning to use Nemus’ leg as food for that weird wand of yours!”

“Puyu”

“Even if you tilt your head with those big and round eyes of yours, I won’t get tricked by you! I’m sure the brutal king bear Gyuondan must be lurking underneath that cute bear cub costume! Right”

“Puyuyuu!”

What’s that Gyuondan mentioned by Moga An S-Rank or A-Rank bear monster

“Nuuooo! Don’t point that wand at me! Uuaah, stay away with the small monsters! The hell’s that butterfly! Save me, Nemus!”

“I, am, Nemus.”

“Puyuyuyuyu~”

“Argh, not again Nemus’ leg, you bloody cub! If you try to cut off Nemus’ limbs like that cursed pair of professor and assistant, I’ll make you literally cry with my howling sword that thundered across Shijima town!”

A pun by Moga, eh Though I can’t tell whether he’s messing around or saying this seriously.

Going just by his spirit, he gives off an aura of dueling Taro.

Then again, it might be funny to watch a fight between a penguin and a bear cub.

It’d suit the walnut-colored haori Moga is wearing.

It’s a piece of cloth that has apparently been made specially for him to match his size.

I recall the conversation I had with Moga a little while ago, right before Rollodeen took off into the sky.

 

◇◇◇◇

 

“Shuuya, I’m tellin’ you to not hurry so much with the return! You’re forgetting the treasure, that rare sword, stabbed into the ground over there!”

“Ah, you want it”

“No, no need.

As you know, Nemus and I are already fully loaded with treasures.”

I’m kinda curious about the items they snatched, but I can’t appraise them.

“I see.”

“It’s a spoil of war you obtained by doing your best at the risk of your life, Shuuya.”

“Spoil of war, huh If you look at it like that…”

“Hey, we’re adventurer buddies, okay Have you forgotten the name 【Sword King Moga and Nemus】 Besides, I won’t pull off something as lowbrow as snatching the loot of my benefactor.” He explains with a serious expression.

I remember our exchange in Pelneet where he threatened me with 『I ain’t no grilled bird on a skewer, damnit!』

I guess he’s serious this time.

“…According to the giant Schmihazar, it seems to be a magic sword called Shallow, but I’ve already got Holy Sword Saraten.”

“You gotta be a bit more greedy, man.

If you’re not going to take it, I’ll do.

But, I won’t keep it.

I’ll just test it out, and then give it back to you, gotcha”

“Sure, go for it.”

Moga grabs the pommel of the magic sword, and pulls it out of the rock.

The blade is a mixture of violet and black colors.

Moga’s beak twitches.

“Something smells, doesn’t it This sword…,” he mutters.

While holding it with respect, he puts the magic sword he called stinky inside a tube-shaped item box.

 

◇◇◇◇

 

As I’m recalling that memory, Taro and Moga continue their quarrel.

Higlia and the children have joined in as well.

And next to them, Gramps Ton mumbles, “Sure wonder whether you can use that one-eyed, round tree and the stone-like seed for cooking.”

Gramps Ton is asking me whether I feel like turning Iglued’s seed and the demonic duke into ingredients, I guess.

Iglued’s seed remains silent, probably because she’s a stone right now.

But it looks like Ado-something got scared.

He’s trying to escape while moving his mouth, which is clogged up by a tree, for dear life.

“Gramps Ton, those two are important.

They look like acorns at a glance, but please look after them properly since I’m going to personally examine them later on.”

“As you wish.

They’re important to you, hero, so I’ll protect them with my life.” Gramps Ton’s are filled with gratitude.

While staring at Gramps Ton, who likes philosophy so much, I end up feeling grateful as well.

But, even as we’re having this conversation, the people around us are noisy…resulting in a blend of all kinds of words and sounds.

Looks like that absurd hustle and bustle is going to continue for a while, so I’ll just ignore them altogether.

I strengthen my hold on my partner’s rein tentacle.

There’s many monsters fluttering about in the sky.

So I’ll aim to become a taxi driver who calmly steers his vehicle through the sky.

Anyway, while enjoying the sky scenery in my own way, I actually get my fill of Kisara’s pretty figure.

Her long and smooth, model-like legs are a feast for the eyes.

Besides, her thighs becoming visible every once in a while is a nice bonus.

The combination of a beauty and the azure sky is the best.

Now then, I think we’re going to reach Quiche’s village anytime soon.

Once I spot the rock protruding out like a horse…it should be right around the corner.

It was called 【Horse Cliff Rock】, wasn’t it

I look below, searching for that rock…but I can’t see it yet.

Oh well, we’ll probably arrive there in no time if I leave it to Rollodeen.

Let’s use the time to check the abilities and confirm the skills from the other day.
