“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. (D̲y̲k̲e̲)

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

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

Regardless, I prefer clinging to Meirir’s back rather than D̲y̲k̲e̲’̲s̲ 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 D̲y̲k̲e̲ 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. (D̲y̲k̲e̲)

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~

– D̲y̲k̲e̲, 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)

– D̲y̲k̲e̲, 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.
