Volume 4 Chapter 18: Discussion part 2

Translator: “Pink Tea” Editor: ”Ryunakama”

Afternoon. With the clouded, purple sky still hanging over usー

「Now, it’s about the scheduled time.」

「Okaay, I’ll do my best.」

Berzelia and I stood at the courtyard behind the archeology guild.

That’s because it was about time for us to take flight.

First, we are supposed to get the sunlight for the yang scale, then, taking a short break, at 4pm, observe the designated point in the desert.

「Axel-san, Berzelia-san. Those clouds have the same color as purple storm, so please, be careful.」

Michaela stood near us, voicing her concern.

「Yeah, of course. We will be careful. And thank you for lending us an open location. After all, there are considerable shockwaves when Berzelia takes to the sky. She is trying to hold back, but even so, it’s dangerous unless there is enough space.」

「No no, we will be able to witness a dragon monarch flying. Lending the site for that is a small price.」

Then, Michaela’s smile turned to a worried expression.

「If something happens during the flight, please make sure to come back? And if you need more miraculous water, please tell me any time.」

「Yeah, thank you for the concern. But, well, I’ve got enough miraculous water not to have any problem.」

On my waist, I had a water bottle that I received from Michaela.

「Are you sure what that is enough……?」

「Yes. After traversing the desert previously, I now know how much water I need.」

To be honest, there is no need to put massive volumes of water into the transportation bag.

……I took only one sip, everything else was used on other things.

Considering that one sip was enough to get through the whole desert, it’s safe to think that this should be enough to pass the purple clouds.

Taking the water for Berzelia into account as well, this should be more than enough.

「I heard from Edgar that you barely used any water. Once again, I can’t help but be amazed by your resistance. Even the exploration team, members who are familiar with the desert, took knapsacks to carry the water bottles. 」

「Yeah, that reminds me, they were pretty heavily equipped.」

Edgar and the others already left Eniado in the morning.

They want to have enough time between their arrival and the scheduled time for observation

They also said that if they arrive earlier, they will work on the investigation up to where they can.

「By the way, I received a message that Edgar’s group already covered half of the way. So everything goes as planned,」

「Oh, so they are doing fine.」

「Yes,『If only everyone was as fast as Axel-dono. But such a feat is impossible for us. So we at least will try not to come later than Axel-dono.』is what they said.」

「Haha, their investigation is the main goal, so they shouldn’t worry about something like this.」

After all, we are on stand by until they manage to grasp the situation.

「Well, they are doing their best not to be late. We also would like to get moving earlierーー Berzelia, are you ready?」

「Of course. 【Transform】」

With those words, Berzelia turned into a dragon.

「Dragon Monarch Berzelia…… I saw it on the magic projection sent from the capital, but this form is really beautiful.」

「Yaay, I got praised. Thank you, Grace.」

Berzelia is acting frolic in her dragon form after getting praise from Michaela.

It’s a good thing that she is in such high spirits before the flight.

……Berzelia’s strength is hugely influenced by her emotions.

With those thoughts, I check the inner pocket on my jacket.

There, I had a yang scale, wrapped in cloth.

After getting through the clouds, we will expose it to the sunlight for a while, and then see if the color will change.

……According to the snake god, about two minutes are needed for it to change color.

After confirming the yang scale being in my pocket, I look at the guild’s building.

There, stood Daisy, and Saki, who finally woke up.

「Then, see you later.」

「I’ll do as much repairs as I can using the ancient forge. Saki said that she will provide support with magic, so we should be able to make a lot of progress.」

「Fufu, maintaining the husband’s weapon is the wife’s duty, after all, of course, I will assist. Yeah, I’ll do anything.」

「Well, how should I put it? It’s a great help. We will immediately come back when the yang scale turns blue.」

「Counting on you, my friend!」

After that, I got on Berzelia.

「Wah, this position feels so nostalgic somehow!」

Berzelia, trembling, said with great delight.

「You are right. Since the City of The God Tree, we generally either walked or rode on carriages.」

Both of us were still recovering, and we also had a goal of enjoying every town on our way. It was a pretty slow-paced journey.

It was enjoyable in its own way, so I think of trying it again, but riding Berzelia like this is also fun.

……And since the transportation bag is empty, I can use all of the available space on Dragon Riding Skills……

With those thoughts, I gently brush Berzelia’s neck, giving her the signal.

「Okay. Then, for the first time in a while, let’s enjoy the flight?」

「Yeah! Then, here I go……」

With Berzelia’s words, her body slowly floated up, and—

「――!」

She rose up into the sky with a single strong flap of her wings.

Going even above the height that would’ve allowed her to overlook the town, she goes higher into the sky.

Michaela was staring into the sky in the courtyard of the archeology guild.

「So this is the flight of a Dragon Monarch.」

She wasn’t alone in that.

Guild employees also were looking into the sky with dumbfounded expressions.

「T-that was insanely loud……」

「Y-yeah. It’s my first time seeing it, but to think the acceleration is this outrageous……」

The air in the courtyard was still quaking from that single flap of the wind.

The power is really tremendous. But—

「Daisy-san. And that is with her supposedly holding back……?」

「That’s right, Michaela. If she goes harder, it might put the surrounding buildings in danger. I’d say she left quietly.」

「She has a lot of weird points, but Dragon Monarch Hydra is growing.」

Daisy and Saki who were nearby said.

I see, so the party of heroes is really completely out of the norm.

Berzelia as well. And also Axel, who is riding her without any problem.

By now, they are not even a speck in the sky, completely disappearing from sight.

Michaela breathed a sigh.

Then, lightly slapped on her cheeks with both hands.

「Okay! Everyone, we can’t lag behind Axel-san and the others! We also should do what we can!」

「Y-yes! Roger, Chief Researcher!」
