Chapter 626 – Age of Faded Seagulls (5)
The barn was crowded with wyverns and riders.
Of course, the transport guild leader seemed to have returned to Romania, but the head of the breeding department seemed to have heard the story and brought out a wyvern right away.
“Oh, Master Toothless.”
“Yeah? His name is Rouge Bang, right?”
The head of the breeding department twisted his head into a corner. Her offspring she brought was the same wyvern she had taught me. If this is also a relationship, is it a relationship?
Unlike me, who smiled happily at the cheeks of a wrestler, the head of the breeding department seemed worried.
“Well… I’d lend it for now, but wyverns don’t ride people who aren’t their owners well. This child is both a stallion and a boss, so he has no owner.”
“A boss?”
“Yeah. It’s better to have a wyvern’s habit.”
“Then what we borrow… “
“Oh, that’s fine. I already saw a lot of my children, and I felt cramped because I was spending too much time at the barn. That’s why it would be nice for both of us if we just put them on our backs, but… “
Uh… So, let’s summarize.
Toothless who wants to go out and exercise, and we who need transportation.
Is the point of agreement appropriate? I punched Toothless.
“Call? (Call?)”
“Kreung. (Call.)”
─Tuk. The wyvern, accustomed to the human world, bumped its wings against my fist and sat down with its back turned.
The head of the breeding room made a silly face, and I boarded the saddle that was tied to his back.
Flutter-! Toothless flew easily even with me and three women on board.
I guess so. Originally, they are monsters that play a role like flying-carrying horses, and they are monsters that snatch and eat things like bulls.
“Then let’s borrow it! He should be back at the barn on his own within a week or two, then wash it thoroughly and serve it with rice or something delicious!”
“Four? Yes Yes!!”
Toothless whimpered and whimpered happily. As if an exercise maniac had been released from self-quarantine, the flying motion was a bit extreme.
Now let’s take the Mahjan and set off.
***
Return to the forest where the elves live, and cross the continent with Veronica’s
It was a fucking simple process, at least as written, so it only took a few minutes to get there. I just paid for the convenience with mana.
“Eww…”
“Veronica, are you okay?”
Veronica looks dizzy. Dana quickly cast a heal spell.
Didn’t he cross the continent with a fucking heavy wyvern? It must have consumed a lot of mana.
Even if you borrow the seal, fatigue is only accumulated in Veronica’s body and mana barrel. Was it like that? Veronica had to lean on me as if her strength was draining.
“What, what. She’s just a little tired. It’s nothing.”
Seeing my worried eyes, Veronica forced a smile.
She said it was okay when we discussed it a few days ago, but now she doesn’t like to show a weak side, but she put a balm on her forehead as a sign that I shouldn’t be bluffing with things like this.
─Exactly!
“Ouch! Ta, don’t hit me at night… “
It was Veronica whose tears welled up in her eyes.
If she had left her horns out, she would have let go of the night.
I picked her up laughing and hugged her.
“Quickly transform into a small animal. Or should I carry it like this?”
“… Eww. I-I’m going to ask you a favor.”
Veronica, held like her princess, stomped her paws and turned into a kitten.
“Again, did you use rune magic again without a medium?!”
And Mahjan, who saw the process, began to shake her mischief.
What a fucking reaction. It doesn’t seem like he did it on purpose, and he’s the type to be loved by his bosses.
“Besides, how can you transform into a completely different creature with just one rune?”
“That’s not something I would ask someone who is tired of using magic items. Do it later.”
I laughed when I said I was laughing, but I wonder if my voice sharpened without my knowledge.
Mahjan said that she had rudely apologized, and she bowed her head deeply. She forgave me for hitting her head at 90 degrees. She’s a real social elf. She is hundreds of years old, and she does not go anywhere.
“… Ah, since she is small, the owner’s touch is so comfortable…”
But our Goddess must have lived at least 5 times longer than me, so why are you so childish?
‘I don’t know. It’s fine if it’s cute.’
I held Veronica as a kitten and pulled Toothless by the reins.
The historic site seemed to have become part of the greenery with moss and bushes.
Is it really that people don’t come and go even when they’re blowing their noses? The bush grows thick and crawls up to the worm.
What I found in this place was none other than [Guerture’s] Rune stone.
After watching with interest for a while, we moved to change places so that Toothless could fly up. It was difficult to fly around the ruins because the sky was blocked by trees and vines.
Mahjan was bewildered as if she couldn’t believe her even while she was on the move.
“Oh my gosh… You really crossed the continent.”
“We are still in the forest, how can we tell the difference?”
“Yes? Aren’t plants and winds completely different?”
Shit, you know the difference? Does that make sense? I laughed out loud.
“Are you interested in plants?”
“Oh, no. It’s just that the smell is different for some reason… You really don’t know?”
“I don’t know.”
I sniffed it a few times, but of course I couldn’t tell the difference from the Britannia forest. Perhaps it is an instinct unique to the elves.
‘Damn that bastard’s lineage and race again?’
No, that’s not what I, a freshman, have to say.
“Aren’t elves more suited to the forest than the wilderness?”
Dana said, rubbing her eyes as I was scratching my head. Mahjan humbly replied.
“… Yes. Actually, I think so too. Thanks to Nord-sama, the few days I spent in the woods were as cozy as being in my mother’s arms.”
“Each creature must have its own environment.”
Even in the year Yerna, plants were used to kill people, and it might be right for elves to live in a more natural place.
Wouldn’t the elves of today live like humans under the sea or in outer space?
While talking like that, we found a suitable airfield, and got on Toothless’s back there.
No, to be precise, I was trying to get on board.
“… The shape of the saddle is strange.”
Nefertiti suddenly said that and looked at me, but I couldn’t figure out what was wrong, so I tilted my head.
2X2, 2 front seats, 2 back seats. Doesn’t that look normal?
Then Nefertiti spoke calmly.
“Three front seats, one back seat. If you look at the shape of the wyvern’s back, that’s better.”
“… Is that… ?”
I’m sure it’s because it’s an inverted triangle, but why do you think you want to sit next to me? It wouldn’t be overly self-conscious.
I wasn’t in the mood to say anything so I switched the saddle to my magic.
3 front seats, 1 back seat. It looks a bit like a dump truck.
“Well, then I’ll get in the back seat! Hey! It’s nice to be able to sit alone!”
Also, since Mahjan, who had her social life ‘ON’, rode in the back seat, I tied up the kitten Veronica and climbed into the saddle. This is the position holding the reins of Toothless.
“… Am I right?”
“Well, then I left… Right?”
Dana and Nefertiti are also seated a little awkwardly.
As soon as I fastened my seatbelt, both sides smelled good. It seems like I have a hunch that the road I’m going on won’t be boring, but it doesn’t seem like it.
“Okay… It’s a bit difficult after all…”
“?”
Veronica crouched down as if struggling with Nefertiti sitting right next to her.
It seemed that Mahjan was not Ada, but as we all know, Nefertiti is a pure unicorn with a certification mark.
I thought I’d gotten used to it, but it didn’t seem like it.
It doesn’t matter whether you sit next to or behind you, since there is no difference in distance. I have no choice but to ask Veronica to be patient with me a little longer.
I said, tapping Veronica digging into her chest.
“Guests, we will take off soon~. Please double check that you are fastening your seat belt. Thank you.”
“It’s all tied up. She also used magic.”
“Okay, then let’s go.”
After Dana used the magic to block the wind, we flew up from the forest.
Wedge love liquid-!!
“Kyaaaaa!”
Dana, who was sitting next to me, was surprised by the sudden acceleration and hugged me. It seems that I was careless for a while after using magic, but there was nothing wrong with me.
‘Oh, a rare cute scream.’
On top of that, the passive heart adheres to and asserts itself, this has its own taste as it is.
It’s fine for a side income. I laughed and pulled the reins.
Woo woo woo… !!
When the wind hitting the shield came up high enough to cause a commotion, many things came into view. It was a superb view that he hadn’t felt while flying around Niflheim, which had nothing to see.
The land seen from the sky was divided into three parts.
First, the borderlands of Nidavellir.
Second, the lush forests of Nidavellir and the blurring of their green plants.
Lastly, thirdly——a yellow-brown wasteland where plants have died.
I turned my head and glanced once at the low fence at the border and the dwarves who were fixating it, and then met Nefertiti’s eyes.
She wasn’t smiling, but I could read Nefertiti’s slight excitement, as if I could see into her soul.
“Hehe, you seem to be having fun?”
“… Yes. Just look forward to it.”
Nefertiti brushed her hair to the side and pointed to the wilderness horizon.
“Because the country beyond is the land where you were born.”
“… That, right, what.”
My conscience was stabbed by her honest and plain sincerity.
Sorry, Nefertiti… That’s not my hometown…
Actually, I’ve never been to Kitai either…
Averting my conscience, I turned away and squeezed the reins of Toothless.
“Kieheek——!!”
Even without my words, Toothless flapped her wings on instinct.
“I travel the world and the seven seas~ Everyone’s looking for something~♬”
Humming an old pop song, we covered the wilderness sky.
