Volume 1
Atelier Tanaka Chapter 13.1
Dragon Extermination 3 (1/3)
Our destination, Mount Pepe is right before our eyes.
Preparation is complete.
Here we go!
The crew members could be seen on the bridge.
After meeting up with Sophia, who was on standby inside the airship, as well as Sophie and Allen, all the members were accounted for. The rocky surface of Mount Pepe finally came into everyones view at the front of the bridge deck.
By the way, I changed out of the blonde haired lolis robe and into a simple shirt and trousers.
I have freed myself from my half-naked condition and returned the robe.
Although, just when I was feeling curious about what shed do once I returned it back to her, she wrapped the robe around herself once again, wearing it presently. Even though that robe has been in contact with my willy, she took it back just like that, seeming to pay no mind to it at all. Rather, I was the one who ended up being surprised by her action.
When I tried confirming it with her, it seems to be an item that is resistant to breath attacks. Theres no way I can challenge a dragon without wearing it first! That was what she said. Feelings of guilt welled up inside me, tormenting my heart with each throb. The sense of immortality that surfaced simultaneously made me tremble as well.
Well, putting my fetish aside, well be making our crucial emergency landing now.
Nuun-!
The noble mage roared as he held his staff in one hand as the center of the bridge floated up.
At the same time, the bow of the airship raised up a little.
*krrk krrk* A loud screech resounded when the layer of steel on the airships belly came into contact with the ground scratching against the surface. Naturally, the impact was huge. Everyone desperately clung onto chairs or anything that were installed on the bridge.
The sole person who was not affected by this was only the noble mage that floated in the air.
Rather, flight magic is seriously convenient.
Nuuuuuuuu-!
The noble mage raised a cry that was unbecoming for him; with clear desperation displayed on his face.
This is apparently the crucial moment.
*Zugagagagaga* The sound of bridge rattling echoed through the air.
Seriously, give me a break.
W-Were going to die! Were going to die! Dear God!! Thats why I said it was impossible from the start!! I-Its not possible for mere daughter of a bar owner to be a part of a dragon extermination team!! This is never going to work!! W-Well definitely going to die!! [Sophia]
The person with the lowest mental fortitude who was fast reaching her limit began screaming.
As a result, everyone else seemed to brace themselves and clung on tight at the last minute.
They might have regained their own composure after looking at someone elses unsightly behaviour. Since Im experiencing it myself now, the others might have felt the same way.
Nice job, bars poster girl!
This is unexpectedly a great party.
The only thing thats lacking in this team is affection.
Kyaa. [Ester]
However, ones state of preparedness and ones physical performance are entirely two different things.
The blonde haired loli was at the mercy of the violent vibration.
Her fingers slipped off and she lost her grip, causing her body to fly up into the air.
E-Ester-! [Allen]
Allen who fell into panic, cried out. However, he was in no position to help her as he was in a dire situation himself, desperately clinging to the side of the wall. He tried reaching for Ester with his hand out but he was unfortunately not able to reach her. In the meantime, her body which was left to the mercy of swing, slid off the bridge. If someone doesnt do something about it, shell soon crash into the pillar.
Kyaaaaaaaaa!! [Ester]
Her cry dragged on until it reached a high-pitched scream.
This is bad.
Quickly do something about it Allen. Youre the ikemen, arent you, Allen!
It was troublesome since the person whom I was placing my hope on couldnt move as well. If he were to throw himself out just to save her, the number of people who might get injured due to this violent turbulence would increase to two. He must have understood it. Since the dragon hunt would be coming shortly after this, the ikemen wasnt able to make his move freely.
I did mention it to them before that I could use recovery magic on any injuries as many times as I want but, a pain is still a pain. Even I understand that. This is especially true for bruises. The pain that gradually develops and spreads throughout the body starting the very instant you receive the blows is unbearable. Besides, there is a high possibility of an instant death if one were to receive the hit directly on the head.
If thats the case then it cant be helped. This is the time I should show my guts as the party leader.
