Chapter 11 (2/2)
「You’re too formal.」
While laughing, I pressed the first floor.
We arrive in the first floor and advance through the entrance laid out with carpet. More robots like A1 are waiting in front of the gate.
「Open.」
When I said that, the two robots turned around to the gate at the same time and slowly opened the gate.
「Three golems simultaneously……」
「Did you say something?」
「Ah, no, nothing!」
When I turned my face to her, Ayla stood up straight. She looks like she is in an army.
「Now then, where shall I take you?」
When we came out and I said that, Ayla came skipping with shining eyes.
「I want to see the white houses.」
「The houses? No one’s living there, you know?」
「But it was very pretty.」
「I see? Well, if you want to see it, shall we go?」
I said that and started walking, but Ayla who looked back casually was surprised seeing the castle.
「Uwaa, amazing……!! It is a castle with complex appearance!」
「Is it a different shape with the castle that Ayla knows?」
「Yes. It’s more square, the roof is also not very big. The window is also small」
「I see. I would like to see it.」
I muttered that and stared into the distance. Currently, I lower the flying speed and we are cruising towards the mountain. The forest below is spreading endlessly.
Glancing at Ayla, I wonder if she will teach me some things about the cities? I would like to see the townscape of this world no matter what.
Walking towards the east while I’m thinking such things, I moved up to the edge and gazed at the roof of every white houses.
「It’s right over there.」
Pointing at the bottom as I said that, Ayla’s eyes brightened up.
「Amazing. It’s a pure white townscape…..! Beautiful!」
I point out the way to go down to Ayla who is being deeply moved.
「You can go down from there, you know.」
「Is it okay to go there?」
When I pointed at the stairs, her reply came in a flash. When I nodded, she proceed to go down the stairs delightedly.
「Uwa, pretty……!」
Walking through the city while gazing at the pure white houses, she peeked the inside of the houses from the window and emitted a voice of admiration.
「I wonder if girls actually adores white houses?」
I try asking A1, but as usual A1 simply walks down the stairs calmly.
Moments later, I heard Ayla’s panicked voice from the front.
「It, it’s a wyvern! Taiki-sama! A wyvern came!」
When Ayla told me to look up, certainly a large wyvern is approaching. Circling in the sky as if a raptor aiming at its prey, it is rising up higher than the flying island.
「That is the biggest one I’ve seen so far.」
When I express such impression, Ayla points to the sky.
「It’s big! It was approaching closely to Reelabras Mountain Range, so I wonder if that’s one of the parents…..!」
「Aah, there was a flock of young wyverns last time. Then, that may be the mom or dad, right?」
Although I feel sorry for getting rid of them, I wonder if it will be okay if a wyvern that size collides with the barrier?
While I’m standing carefreely, Ayla looked at me feeling restless.
「Tha, that wyvern, if it came attacking, this beautiful townscape will…….」
Ayla says such a thing and seems really worried.
「Eh? That one? Is a wyvern scary or something?」
「Eh, ah, if one was a magician like Taiki-sama, perhaps you will beat it flawlessly and I will have nothing to worry about……」
She’s convinced, ‘Indeed’, by what I said.
「By the way, how much threat is a wyvern usually?」
「Eh? I guess, if, if they are the Captain of Knight Order or the Royal Court Magician of the Kingdom, they can probably fight evenly in one-on-one battle……」
「Hmm.」
She didn’t declare that they can win, just that they can fight evenly. And yet, she thought that I will be able to beat it flawlessly?
Apparently, she seems to be misunderstanding something and making large assumptions here.
「…. but, there’s no way I can explain it.」I muttered softly to myself.
「Tha, tha, tha, that! Taiki-sama!? Front, front! Look out—-!?」
I sighed calmly while looking at the wyvern losing consciousness as it collides into the barrier.
