59 Episode 59: Sky Knights and the Wings of the Sky Dance (1/2)
”” ”” ”To, man came down from the sky without wings - whoa!?” ””
It was us who came to the skyman's village, but for some reason I was surprised by the skymen.
”Yeah, it's nothing. It's normal enough to fly, right? You're flying down into the sky, too.”
”No, that's true, but you were flying without wings.”
My uncle, an astronaut who was nearby, points out as he points to his back in a hip-pulled manner.
”Yeah, with flying magic, you can fly about empty.”
”Hih, flying magic!? You mean the lost ancient magic!?”
When I hear of flying magic, the place becomes noisy.
Or the lost ancient magic?
Funny, the astronauts are supposed to fly in the sky with feathers on their backs, but I'm surprised to hear these people have no feathers on their backs, and what magic they've lost their flying magic.
If you can fly the sky on your own, you won't have to be surprised by the magic of flying.
”Maybe you guys can't fly?
Maybe, but are these people and the astronauts of another race?
”And there's no way you can fly. We're not like the knights.”
After all, apparently, an astronaut refers to feathered people called knights.
But then what the hell are these people?
”Uh, who are you guys? Are you different from an astronaut?
”Who the hell are we? We're astronauts. Who the hell are you?!? I've never seen anyone like you on this empty island!?”
Is that it? Are these people Skywalkers, too? But you don't have wings, do you?
What the hell is this all about?
”I've never seen anyone use flying magic before. Could you be from another empty island?
Apparently, he thinks we're astronauts from another empty island.
Well, I wonder what you answered.
”No, we're adventurers from the ground. I came looking for the sky continent.”
I didn't have to keep it a secret, so I decided to tell the villagers what I was trying to do.
”Sky...... continent?
Hmm, dull response, and was this a waste of time?
I'm not likely to get any information on the sky continent, and here's another question: Do you want to hear about the astronauts?
I wonder why you don't have feathers, why you are so cautious when this village is a skyman's village, and why the skyman is a skyman in the first place.
”It's this village, by the way...”
And when I tried to ask about the village, the villagers looked up into the sky and raised their voices.
”Here we are, my knight!
When we looked over the sky in the same way, the knights who had grown the feathers we saw in the town on earth the other day came down from the sky.
”Knights, those are them.”
The village's inhabitant grandfather is pointing at us and talking to the knight.
Could this have been reported?
”Those two! You've illegally entered our Sky Nation! What are you doing here?
The knights' commander-like man interrogates us.
Hey, you look like you're being treated like a clandestine immigrant, so let's just say I'm honest here.
”Hello, Skyman. My name is Rex, and this is my fellow traveler, Liliera. We came to this land looking for the sky continent. The sky continent is supposed to be around here, don't you know?
But the commander of the knight said with his neck tied to our words.
”You think it's a sky continent? It was crushed and doomed long ago!
”Yes!?”
Such an idiot!? There is no way that that ridiculously big sky continent can be crushed so easily.
Or what would you do to crush that big continent!?
”Anyone living in this sky knows the legend that this sky island floating in the sky is a remnant of the former sky continent! Boring excuses don't work!
”Yes!? An empty island is a remnant of the sky continent!? What do you mean?!?”
What the hell is going on here?
But the knights don't answer that, they put up a spear and surround us.
The tip of the spear erected by the knights is filled with light, presumably a magic item that emits the attack magic of light attributes.
”If you tell the truth, you will be extinguished by the light of judgment emitted from the holy spear. You're more spies than any other empty island, aren't you?
Why would I do that?
”No, we're from the ground.”
”I told you not to lie. There is no reason for an inferior earthly man without wings to ascend into the sky. The only people who can come here are the people of empty islands with the same power as us!
Hmm, apparently these people don't believe us because they don't know we can use flying magic.
Then I'll actually fly through the sky to prove it and show it to you.
”I'm really from the ground. I have proof.”
”Evidence?
”Yeah, see, this is how I flew through the sky with flying magic.”
I activate the magic of flight and float into the universe.
”Stupid!? He said he flew through the sky without even using his feathers!?”
”Hey? You're flying, right?
”Now, you guys, you're flying with a feather force different from ours! What the hell are you using!
Hmm? I wonder why you don't believe in flying magic.
I mean, use it? Aren't you flying with your own feathers?
”So it's flying magic.”
”I was doomed long ago by those who could use flying magic! Yes, it has to be!
Does it have to be? So it's inconvenient to have someone who can use flying magic?
I don't know what it is, but there seems to be some complicated circumstances.
”Get these people! You can kill me if you want to resist!
Wow, you're motivated.
”What are we going to do? Fight or get caught quietly?
Liliera asks me if I have a policy to fight.
”Um, because I don't think you'll believe this story if you get caught quietly. Shall we shake off the burning powder that will come down here?”
They'll come after you even if you run away.
”Right. Obviously they don't make sense.”
When we lay our weapons on our backs, we burst into the knights in front of us.
”Resist! I don't care. Kill him!
”Keep your head down!
”Yes!”
Liliera behind my words. [M]
All of a sudden, we bowed our heads and crouched, and the knights surrounded by spears attacked each other at the front.
It is attacked by a companion and its extravagant armor is heavily damaged.
”Captain, you will hit your side!
”Fool! Attack the enemy!
