487 Various ways to play (1/2)
”Al, wait!
Once back at the inn, Maya came back within minutes. On the hand is a sandboard made of earth magic.
”... that's the guy I gave you last time, right?
”Yeah, it's slippery and easy to use, so I came back for it!
Maya said that with a smile on her face.
After all, it seems that she has been using it since then. Even though it is a consumable made of earth magic, I am glad to hear that.
There is also a belt that fixes the feet on the ground, so my father must have done it himself.
”Let's get out of here!
Maya prompted me to go out of Jaisar in an instant.
Step outside the barrier and you'll be surrounded by the desert world. The sand is spreading incredibly.
Go up the sand dunes with Maya, which are softer than the soil in the village of Coriat.
No shade has fallen a millimeter in the sand dunes where there are no shields or holes.
Either way, I wanted to see it at Jaisar's Oasis, but when I saw Maya holding the board in a mood, I couldn't say such a pathetic thing.
”Oh, you got a trick for walking in the desert?
”Last time I played that much... Whoa.”
”Ahahaha, it's still like that.”
Even though I said it in my face, I almost fell quickly, so Maya laughed at me.
Why does Maya walk normally when the sand is so soft and wrapped around her feet?
Maya says that the sand is hard and soft, but I don't seem to have reached the point where I can identify it.
Perhaps Erinola's sister would have walked on her feet.
”I like the dunes here today!
What a thought! As she walked, she reached the slip point of the Mayan push.
There's an angle of inclination in there, and it's a long distance.
Last time, I was a little freaked out because I haven't done it in a long time, but I was recently taken to the mountain by Erinola's sister. There was nothing scary about this inclination.
With Maya flanking the board in a familiar way, I created the board with earth magic and fixed it to my feet.
”First, let's slip!
Fine.
When I replied, Maya jumped on the spot and gained momentum down the dunes.
I jump like this and use the momentum to slide down the slope.
”Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Maya's pleasant voice echoes through the dunes.
At the front, Maya looks like she's going straight down, maintaining a stunning form.
Black hair is windy and trajectories are drawn in the air.
Even though Maya slipped one foot ahead, it was fast.
I'm sure he's using all his weight well to accelerate it.
Feeling different from snow, coming from the ground surface of the board.
Slipping down the slope, whether it's snow or sand, is pleasant inside.
Looking from the top, the slope, which seemed to be far away, was quickly finished when the speed was raised and lowered.
”Hah, this is the best feeling of cutting the wind!
”Maya seems to be having a lot of fun when she's slipping.”
”Yeah! But lately, it's a little mannery....”
Maya had a refreshing expression on her face, but she turned a little lonely in the middle of her words.
”What's wrong?
”I'm just getting tired of slipping so fast. Hey, was there any other way to play in Al's hometown but to slip faster?
I thought you were tired of the sandboard itself, but it wasn't.
From Maya, who boasts a lot of motor nerves, it's not enough to just slide straight down.
Maya seemed to be looking for more ways to play sandboards and more difficulty.
”There are many things.”
”Really!? Tell me!”
There were plenty of board-based sports and games in my previous life, so I just had to reproduce them.
Well, first of all, it's probably the easiest obstacle to slip.
”What's that like?
”If you're just tired of slipping straight, just try not to slip straight. If there's an obstacle, you have to turn and avoid it, and the difficulty increases, right?
With that said, I activated earth magic to raise the sand pillar in the middle of the slope.
It is impossible to slide straight down with this. You have to make a clean turn to get past this obstacle.
”... if you ask me, I can't think of anything! Al is amazing!
”It's not me, it's someone I've been thinking about for a long time.”
I just recreated the competition that I only knew. Nothing at all.
”Hey, can I give it a try?
