Chapter 83 (2/2)

Please dont say that. Im feeling guilty myself too. There was a tingling sensation in my heart every time the robes fur brushed against my rod and balls.

Thank you. You seemed to have killed it in one hit. [Tanaka]

Well, well. The condition of the thing in between crotch aside, lets confirm the situation around us.

The wyvern appeared to be killed by her in a single attack and the noble mage was injured after fighting with the wyverns earlier. There were also many places around the deck that were ruined after getting hit by the ice magic.

Mercedes-chan had by no means went in for a suicidal attack just now since she had skilfully confirmed the point of attack before swinging in the sword. After she has accurately affirmed the enemys weak point, she was probably hoping that, with little luck, she might be able to kill it in one hit. As one would expect from a pure knight-sama.

This is good, this is good. This felt very much like how a party should be.

I wasnt really doing it for you. Its for the sake of protecting Ester-sama. [Mercedes]

That was what I meant. Thank you very much for protecting Ester-san. [Tanaka]

! [Ester]

The blonde haired loli who was standing beside staggered.

It appeared that she has threaded her foot through the floorboard that had become brittle as a result of the fight against the wyvern. But, was she feeling embarrassed about that? She seemed to be blushing even though I was expecting a surprised reaction coming from her instead. She has just displayed quite a weak part of herself similar to a how a human should be, hasnt she?

It was a huge difference as compared to how she clicked her tongue when we met in the beginning.

I would just like to confirm it but, whats your relationship with Ester-sama? [Mercedes]

Were fellow adventurers and classmates who attend the same school. [Tanaka]

.Are you a student from the school? [Mercedes]

Is there something else on your mind that you would like to ask? [Tanaka]

Are you, a noble? [Mercedes]

Im not? Im a commoner. Fahren-san was the one who admitted me to the school. [Tanaka]

.. [Mercedes]

There was a slight complicated look on her face.

It wouldnt be hard for me to imagine that she was likely able to make a conjecture on my social status and background. However, she didnt need to stay silent for so long. By the time the blonde haired loli pulled her foot out of the floorboard, she seemed to have come to herself, different than a moment ago.

Well, if you are going that far then Ill just accept it obediently. That said, this is not the right situation to be having a leisurely conversation now. I would like to go over the full details about our current circumstances. [Ester]

True. [Mercedes]

On the whole, the way Mercedes-chan speaks to me was the same as how colleagues speak to each other at workplace. She still does get mad at me occasionally but, she no longer points her sword at me instantly without further questions. I was treated much better now as compared to when we met for the first time.

The indecent discussion we had in the evening on the day before yesterday might have shortened the distance between us.

Indecency is the best! I love erotic topics!

What happened to the other wyverns? I dont see Fahren-sama anywhere but, if he happened to be fighting against the wyverns at another place then we must go there to assist him. [Mercedes]

If youre referring to him, he went after the wyverns below the airship just now. [Tanaka]

Wh! The bottom of the airship!? [Mercedes]

Fright was written all over her face as she trembled but, at that very instant, the whole airship started shaking violently at the same time.

Its even stronger than just now.

The seismic intensity scale might be close to 10.

That intense shaking made us to lose our balance and tumbled off to one side. It was really painful. I felt a sharp pain on my elbows and knees due to the direct impact when that tumble knocked me onto the deck.

Nevertheless, whats more worrisome now is the state of the airship below. Was that ossan possibly killed even though he was shooting his mouth off earlier?

In the midst of worrying, at the edge of the airship which acts as a boundary between the deck and the sky, the noble mage could be seen slowly appearing on the other side of the railing.

He looked considerably tired as he flew.

Part of his hair appeared to be burnt. I guess one of the breath attack must have hit him. Come to think of it, can recovery magic be used as a treatment for baldness?

How did it go with the remaining wyvern? [Tanaka]

U-Umu. Well I did succeed in defeating it. [Fahren]

Thats good. [Tanaka]

It seemed that he was able to manage it somehow.

But the ship was damaged in the process. Its impossible to control it now. [Fahren]

Eh? Then this airship is [Tanaka]

Fortunately, were drawing close to our destination now. Mount Pepe is just in the vicinity. Well be making an emergency landing as is now. It might be possible to bring it halfway up the mountain area at this altitude. [Fahren]

No, unfortunately that wont do us any good.

So itll be an emergency landing? [Tanaka]

The output is increasing at an abnormal rate. Theres a possibility that the magic stone is out of control. [Fahren]

I-I see.. [Tanaka]

I dont really understand what this ossan was saying.

Im feeling extremely anxious now.

After all, this airship is flying at an incredible speed.

It is frightening to think that were about to crash-land in such a state, since we are currently flying at a speed comparable to the bullet train.

There should be some time before the crash-land right? [Tanaka]

Umu [Fahren]

If thats the case, then lets gather everyone here so we can exchange information. [Tanaka]

I understand. Lets go. [Fahren]
