“Chapter 202: To Wols 2”


    Two unknown magical beasts were sitting in front of the door.


    They looked like small dragons trained to carry luggage.


    – Is it really fine to take them?


    – Of course. We always go on foot or by carriage. Rudra said we could use these since we’re going to a high place. (Meirir)


    This must be quite expensive. Searat sure has come a long way.


    – That’s great and all, but who’s going to pilot them?


    – Don’t worry. These boys know the route. (Dyke)


    – Come here. I’ll show you how well I can ride this thing (Meirir)


    I was heading towards Dyke, but I guess Meirir really wants to show me her cool side.


    Regardless, I prefer clinging to Meirir’s back rather than Dyke’s sweaty back.


    That being said.


    – Hey. (Takaya)


    Meirir’s dragon was not pleased. And it wasn’t my fault.


    – Why are you all coming here?


    There was too much weight.


    – I want to ride with you. (Mike)


    – Me too. (Mumuruu)


    – I-I’m… not used to Dyke and Roar yet… (Akane)


    The dragons were only capable of carrying 3-4 people, so we ended up splitting the 3 guys and the 4 girls.


    ×　×


    – Aaahh, it’s been so long since I rode one of these. The wind feels so good. (Dyke)


    The view from the sky is amazing. Bay road looks the size of a bean.


    – Are you scared of heights?


    – Just a bit. (Takaya)


    I have some experience flying, but every time I was clinging to Letty or Mumuruu. I’m not sure I can seriously count that as experience.


    – Master, are you scared? I can switch dragons if you want.


    – Woah! Mike, stop moving! (Akane)


    – Relax. Even if you fall down I’ll catch you right before you crash. (Mumuruu)


    – Could you not save me before that!?


    – Maybe~


    – Dyke, what’s that ahead? (Meirir)


    – What’s what?


    – Is that a cloud of ashes?


    Despite the sky being clear, a gray cloud was hovering at an unusually low altitude.


    – …Master, I have a bad feeling. (Mike)


    – Dyke, I think we should land and have a break. What does everyone else think?


    The rest of the group nodded at my suggestion.


    – Whaat~ Come on in. You came all the way here already~


    – Huh? What was that!?


    Our dragons were swallowed by the gray cloud.
