Chapter 287 - Let's Catch a Glimpse of a New World


Kuwaa.


Tatsuo was making that cry. Under the blue sky, Tatsuo was crying「Kuwaa」alone.

Currently, Tatsuo was in Angelite City and separated from his mother, Kazane.

Tatsuo's food was Kazane's Dragon Spirit, so being separated for a long time... rather, even being separated for only 3 days was dangerous. However, Kazane loaded Yumika's Dragon Contract Bangle with her Dragon Spirit for Tatuso to use like a bento, so it seemed he would be able to manage for a few days. Also, when they arrived at the shipyard, Kazane had returned to meet Tatuso and Yumika once by flying back with Dragonization. If she flew in the air, she could make it back in one flight.


Kuwaa.


Tatsuo was idling on the roof while wearing the Black Flame armor made by his mother to disguise him as a Black Dragon. Not being able to meet his mother was lonely, but if he thought of how it was like he was always wrapped in his mother's warmth, Tatuso was able to be content. Her will resided in her magical power. The Black Flame armor was loaded with Kazane's will to protect Tatsuo.

Also, the magical power to maintain the Black Flame equipment was supplied by the『Dragon Heart』from the Blitz Wyvern Naoki and the others defeated at the Vordo Ruins, so not only were there no worries about it running out, it was always near maximum.


Kuwaa.


At any rate, Tatsuo was on the roof of a house in Angelite City and motionlessly staring at the forest. That was because Kazane had contacted Yumika a short while ago and said she was heading to them.

Therefore, Tatsuo was eagerly waiting on the roof for Kazane to come. Then, while watching the forest, he started rolling around. Why was just rolling around so much fun? Tatsuo was fascinated by that mystery. He continued rolling around. The speed of his rotations increased. The world kept spinning. And after continuing to spin, before he realized it, Tatsuo had spun off the edge of the roof.

Kuwaa, Kuwaa.


Then, Tatsuo's cry resounded. Tatsuo was flustered. Naturally. Since he had free time, he had only started rolling around a little, but he had gained too much momentum, and he was now revolving in the air after jumping off the roof.

It was an「I can fly!」situation. Tatsuo was currently flying in the sky. His body was rotating as he floated in the sky.


(Soーdiーzzyーー)


Then, Tatsuo noticed. What did this mean? The sky and the city were changing places over and over again. What the heck was happening in the world? He didn't know. And what would happen to him after this? He didn't know. Tatsuo didn't know anything. However, if he continued falling like this, he would crash into the ground.


(Spinーningーー)


However, Tatsuo was currently too astonished by the fact that the world was spinning at a tremendous speed to devote any attention to the trifling fact that he was falling. Tatsuo was desperately thinking about how to tell Kazane about the strange experience he was going through.


(Spinーningーー)


And while experiencing the world's abyss with his body, Tatsuo continued falling to the ground,


「Dangerous!?」


But Yumika caught Tatsuo before the crash. Tatsuo cried「Kuwaa」while looking at Yumika. Inside the spinning world between the city and sky, Yumika had appeared in front of him before he noticed. Yumika was born by the union of sky and city... it was quite a strange experience. He couldn't help but cry out「Kuwaa.」

「Even if you're wrapped in armor, that's dangerous, Tatsuo.」

Yumika warned him with a sigh as Tatsuo's expression showed his lack of understanding. Tatsuo was wearing Kazane's 100% percent love armor. Yumika didn't think that Tatsuo would be injured simply from falling from the roof, but depending on how he fell, he might get whiplash.

But Tatsuo considered such a thing inconsequential and excitedly told Yumika about the essence of his mysterious experience.

『I saw the truth of the world, Yumika.』

「Huh? What's that?」

『It's round and round.』

Then he cried「Kuwaa.」Yumika tilted her head after those words, but it was simply the words of a child.「That's good, then,」Yumika said, and Tatsuo cried「Kuwaa」and nodded. It seemed that it was good.

「Well then, it looks like Kazane will be coming soon, so let's wait inside the house.」

『Ah, I'll wait on the roof, so please don't mind me.』

So saying, Tatuso tried to start flying, but Yumika grabbed him and returned to the house. It would be troublesome if he dove from the roof again.


By the way, the Birdmen that were also stationed in the city were seriously scared when Blue Dragon Kazane arrived, but, well, that was a natural reaction.



************



「I'm worried that Tatsuo and Yumika are getting too close.」

「By the time Tatsuo-kun becomes an adult, Yumika will be a granny, so it's fine.」

Kazane said after she returned from Angelite City, and Louise so replied.

「I wonder if I'll be able to live until Tatuso becomes an adult?」

It was a serious concern.

「You never know what will happen in this profession.」

「No, not that. In terms of lifespan.」

After Kazane's words, Louise groaned「Mmm.」

「Nn, based on your appearance, it looks like Kazane stopped growing in childhood, so maybe you'll stay as you are.」

「No, I'm still growing. I'm going to get super busty like Louise-san.」

「That's impossible.」

It was a death sentence. Kazane made a vexed expression, but Louise ignored it.

「Or perhaps I should say, there's already a precedent with Jinrai-kun; it isn't like rejuvenation medicine doesn't exist. Obtaining that would also be possible for Kazane, so that's a simple way you could extend your lifespan. Well, there might also be a Skill like that.」

「Ah, doing something with a Skill is a possibility?」

「In the first place, it may have already extended to a certain extent due to your Dragonization Skill.」

「I see」Kazane said and nodded. It was certainly possible that things like lifespan might change due to her current Skills. Knowing for certain would happen far in the future, though.

「Hey, you two. If we don't tidy this up quickly, it'll become nighttime.」

A boorish voice called out to the two people who were enjoying their conversation. It was Lyle's voice. What he was saying was quite reasonable, though.


It was the afternoon of the second day after Kazane and the others found the small Dragon Boat.

In the first section, Kazane and the others obtained a large amount of Adamant Skull Ashura material and Muscle Clay, but all the crucial Power Orbs were removed, so they couldn't achieve their purpose.

Also, it seemed the Power Orb (Small) they found was originally from the miniature Dragon Boat. When they inserted the Power Orb (Small), they were able to accidentally confirm that the graze marks matched.

It was nothing more than a guess, but they thought that somebody might have tried to move the Dragon Boat by taking the overlooked Power Orb (Small) out of the miniature Dragon Boat, but since it didn't work, they simply left it as it was. It was only speculation, though. After all, it was a place that people hadn't visited for hundreds of years. There was no way Kazane and the others could know things from that long ago.

Then, they rested the next day as Kazane returned to Angelite city once. And now it was the day after that.

27 Adamant Skull Ashuras appeared in the second section. Combined with the number that appeared in the first section, there were materials from a total of 73 Adamant Skull Ashura and 438 Adamantium weapons, and they were currently collecting those materials.

Also, they prioritized safety this time and destroyed all the Cores, so there were no high grade Skeleton Cores.

After that, Kazane and the others searched another Dragon Boat, but other than the reserve Muscle Clay, it was also completely empty.

As might be expected, Kazane and the others were disheartened from getting zero results, but when they entered the last section the next day, they discovered the cause.


There were large and small Power Orbs and countless bleached white bones scattered around. There was also a mechanical dragon that had already stopped functioning, along with the skeleton of someone, probably a Dragon Knight, who had apparently died with his spear still piercing the mechanical dragon's brow.
