Chapter 5 (1/2)
The sun touched the ocean and the sky turns red.
While looking aimlessly at such a fantastic sight, I breathed out while soaked up in the swimming pool. The warm water penetrates my body while feeling the cool breeze. I feel good.
The place where I’m currently at now, which was shown by the camera earlier, was indeed a heated swimming pool. There are two buildings, one is where I can take a shower. The second is the heated swimming pool. I think it’s way more relaxing in the heated swimming pool rather than the bathroom. So, I clean up my body here because things like shampoos and body soap are also always in stock.
While I’m looking at the sunset, a flock of small wyverns entered my sight. According to the data, apparently a small wyvern of less than 10 years old will act in a group that reaches in dozens and will carry out a hunt with their strength of number.
Because they have a wingspan spreading to more that 2 meters even though their bodies are small, they are big like an idiot if you look at them with the same feeling as a bird.
I was flustered the first time I saw small dragons approaching in several flocks but recently I got to see it frequently so I came to regain my composure.
The flock of wyverns are rapidly getting closer to my direction, but I’m just looking at it while I am submerged in the pool.
Their distance is getting closer.
However, the moment when the flock of wyverns reaches the flying island, they were bounced off by the collision on an invisible wall.
On the space where there should be nothing, a ripples of white lines spread and cover the sky in faintly.
It’s a defensive barrier.
I tried checking it up, but it seems to be a barrier that can withstand about one blast of a highest rank dragon breath. In other words, most attacks can be prevented just by the barrier.
I thought that it’s going to be bad if a flock of large dragons attacks, but it didn’t even receive a crack from the likes of young wyverns with Danger Level C and below.
Looking at some collided wyverns that were too exhausted while falling down to the ocean, I breathe a sigh.
「……I’m bored」
To be honest, I got tired exploring the castle in 2 weeks. I also got tired of reading mangas, playing games or lazing around in a week.
「…… or more like, I’m lonely.」
Reflexively, I grumble in whisper tone.
It isn’t because I’m looking at the sunset that I’m becoming sentimental. It’s a word that truly overflowed from the bottom of my heart.
Leaving the pool and putting on a bathrobe, I return to the castle. It’s an extremely deprived appearance, but no one is here after all.
I went up to the fifth floor and touched on the screen panel of touch-display. I choose the words of Remote Reconnaissance from among the entries.
Only the ocean is shown on the four directions of the screen and the scenery is changing at a speed as if being washed away.
I’m searching the surroundings using this feature regularly for these past 3 weeks, but it didn’t reached to a land at all.
The flying island itself, where the Heavenly castle is, able to adjust its speed and it will speed up to 100 kilometers per hour at the maximum.
It is far slower than the likes of airplanes, but it’s still 100 kilometers per hour. It’s a speed which is likely to get over in two days if it fly through Japan.
At the beginning, it can’t be helped because I didn’t know how to change the speed, but even so I changed it to 100 kilometers per hour and it was a week since then. It’s calculated as 2,400 kilometers in one day if it is flying for 24 hours a day.
Although it is continuing to advance in one direction for nearly 17 thousand kilometers in a week, why can’t I see a land?
No way, it isn’t a world where there is only an ocean, right?
「It’s possible…… that Angel was really like a natural airhead.」
I kept gazing at the screen as I was about to be crushed by anxiety.
And, I narrow my eyes at something that could be seen faintly inside of the screen.
「……Hmm?」
When I try looking closely at the faint on the horizon, that something that came into my view looks like a land.
「Kitaaa!」
The chair falls by the force when I stand up and reflexively raised a strange voice.
Inside the screen, the land gradually becomes bigger and the shadow resembling a mountain also becoming clearer.
There’s no doubt. It’s something real. A real earth is being showed.
「I beg you! Don’t make it an uninhabited island! It’s fine even if there’s a dirty old man so please!」
I press my hands together while speaking such stupid things.
What would I do if it is a primitive man saying ‘UhhoUhho’? Such thoughts crossed my mind, but I decided not to pay attention to it.
