Chapter 97 (1/2)

――I cain suchfro and now this

I have experienced a sense of falling while half asleep but, this is a real free fall

I had only layed sideways on the roo Rin-chan

I didn't intend to sleep but, I suppose I fell asleep since I was lured in by Rin-chan who seerasp that much

And so what came after that is unknown

……On that note

「Isn't this too unknown!!?」

The noise froh that the words I unintentionally shouted didn't reachin my ears is harsh,to my body!?

「Munya, deshi+～, where is this～?」

「Rin-chan!?」

I finally realized that that it can't be said that I'm alone

It seems that I'd unconsciously put power intoto have trouble breathing because I' only what she said she closed her eyes

Though it's better than falling into a panic, with this situation, if we act poorly, it really will go poorly you know?

……Setting that aside I work rasp the situation

Presently I and Rin-chan are, doing a free fall within the sky of an unknown place

As far as I can see our altitude is significant

It's not a height of 10 meters or 20down is clouds and, peeking through the gaps in those it's distant earth

Spread out on that vast earth is a deep belt of forest

「――tsu」

Becohts cleared up in one shot

This sort of height is an altitude of thousands of meters!

Is this HALO!?

「……Huh! Do I have a parachute!?」

I tried groping around ht, there isn't enough tie a complaint at this situation but, whether God or buddha I couldn't find the party to co ould ih

「……After going to a lower altitude I'll cancel out ic to land」

To be sure air resistance and gravity reach an equilibrium so my velocity shouldn't rise indefinitely

My altitude is a little high but, it's incredibly high but, it's still the case that this is no different from the sense and action every tih I' decoh

Before that I'm not cold even in a housedress

「……?」

It see the surroundings while showing a little caution, there's a ardless of howeversound is froic?

「Eclair?」

No, that

This isn't Eclair's cri!」

While I's, a voice called out froh altitude

「You……froh common sense is, the outlaho raised a coht」

The forirl as enveloped by a membrane of flame in the same manner as myself, became exposed for the first time

Her deep hood was blown by the wind so, her vibrant black hair like a japanese doll flowed through the air

A sort of ht could be perceived in those eyes of the sath hidden within a beautiful appearance like a created object

The pinnacle of a yaht you be?」

「It oing to fall you know?」

Just as stated by the girl pointing toward the lands below, there's not enough tiround has already becoic power!

「Thunder!!」

I release y with the lightning's repulsive force

「Thunder! Thunder!!」

I repeatedly release lightning

Not just firing it, but so as to rebound the next shot off of the charged lightning in the ground

Our velocity steadily eased away

Yosh, let's finish this!

「――Oh ray of light, blade descended fro!!」

Using lightning with my full power behind it, I co by eye our distance fro here is ideal

「Fuu……」

This really is tiring isn't it

Blowing out a relieved breath, the girl stopped before ic is it

Is this this child's type of ic?

「――But take care! This forest is you see……Since this is theforest」

「――Ha?」

I suppose it wasn't like it was because she toldto a stop with repulsive force ic power vanished

「Hee!?」

Wait wait!

We're still high!!

「Hyaaaa!?」

Wishi+ng in vain, the exact reverse

I tumbled and fell to the botto with the rey, my back was struck by a splendid tree's trunk that displayed itself from out of the earth and, I finally stopped

「I am――Makina I'm sorry……I still won't help out Alice-san, take care okay」

As I had become round like a caterpillar, she made conversation tointo the forest, her figure vanished like a heat shi+mmer

It's also different from the teleportation Libra used

Just now, could it possibly be that that wasn't her real body?

Just what is……that girl

For whatever reason that girl's fla major happened to Rin-chan

At most I hit her in the back when I iic can't be used

「Thunder!」

Even if I pray, even if I howl, nothing happens

The forest that seals htforwardly walk through it then

There's neither food nor water

I don't want Rin-chan to face hardshi+p

I have to hurry and leave this forest

「……To be sure, it was in the direction over there I think」

I have a hint

I was able to confirm the lay of the land from the upper air

There's no mistake that the forest is wide but it's not to the extent that, I have no idea where to go

I should be able to leave

「Though, Iat this forest naively……」

But even if it's naive such a thing doesn'trowth can't be handled like a lawn but, it wasn't to such an extent that it interfered alking

The greater half of the trees were tall and large so, there weren't many instances where leaves or tree branches blocked my way

What I have to watch out for really is ic I wouldn't have my back taken any time soon but since, without that I'm just a normal person, aren't I

「……Normal person?」

I looked suspiciously at my delicate arain anything without relying onpurely on this hand……?

……What should I do if bear-san greetsat all can I, probably

Meeting is funda or such but, if I enter a real forest there are wild animals and monsters and the like so I worry and it's not the place for that you know

――Gasa

「――!?」

A presence cah speed fro Rin-chan sleeping oncoh I' co over the swaying thicket like I'ood nya」

The animal that showed her face from the thicket was unexpectedly――

「Saira!!」

It was my adorable my smith with a cat ear appearance

Saira see a ruck on her back and, came over to my side

「Why is this Saira! Really!? Saira!?」

「Hai desu nya! Nya waa, Alice-san, that tickles」

Meeting a familiar person in a forlorn place, I unintentionally pushed into her

I rushedly fluffed her cat ears

「Nyafuu」

Otto, I ht have played too much

I sat back down properly

「But why in such a place?」

Such a place, but to begin with I don't knohere this is

「Eh? Alice-san was doing preparations for the journey so, she gave e so I would coly

Eh?

I ate my meal and then I was sound asleep with Rin-chan and, then I was suddenly in ic stone so, I think it was certainly Alice-san's voice……eto, way of speaking and the like」

「Is that hoas?」

「……I get the impression that that didn't happen nya」

She put a hand on her cheek and tilted her head and, Saira became exasperated with half closed eyes

Fumu……

There are various points of concern but, I suppose the first ite the forest

「Saira, that ruck is?」

「Ah, hai! Alice-san's equipment and, rations and the like are packed in nya!」

God-saht so properly?
