2-9 The right to look at the stars (1)
#09
The wind was harsh.
The sea of pure white clouds was so close that I could touch it if I stretched out my hand.
As I lowered my gaze, I saw the world slowly being pushed back.
The monotonous red-and-white earth looked quite acceptable from the sky.
I lay down and blew out cigarette smoke.
“This is why you buy a car.”
The ride itself was different from Letancier’s telekinesis.
I’ve ridden it a few times in the past, so I’m used to it.
The only problem was that it seemed like it had been a while since take off and there was no news.
I tapped my heel and spoke.
“When will you arrive? “If this continues, I’m going to get bedsores.”
【Don’t complain.】
A low, deep voice rang out from at my feet.
It was Captain Orsay who was currently flying with me on board.
I really liked his softer attitude than before.
I cut three giants into pieces right before my eyes, and it was worth it.
The destination was the headquarters of the resistance group.
‘young. Maybe it’s because I went through a hard time, but I’ve grown a bit more mature.’
The first impression of an animal was fading away.
Rather, it had a more serious and calm feel than the Orsay of the original world.
I thought I knew why.
I must have lived like a dandelion blooming through a paving stone.
Orsay’s polymorphed body had countless scars.
I swallowed a bitter smile and opened my mouth.
“To be picky. But why does it seem like it flies so low for you? “The guy who soars higher than the clouds when we go out for drinks in the neighborhood.”
【You talk as if you have ridden on my back before.】
“Oh, it’s nonsense, so ignore it. So is there a reason it flies low?”
【The annoying thing is… If you go up to the clouds, you’ll be discovered by them. I don’t want to make things a hassle.】
“Eh? To those bald guys?”
Orsay wagged his tail as if he was displeased.
It meant positivity.
When I asked why they insisted on only low-altitude flights, there were many reasons.
Bald people even took away the right to wish on a shooting star.
“They were even more shitty than I thought…”
I muttered as if I was dumbfounded.
The layer of clouds that completely covered the stars was not just a decoration.
Orsay explained that in addition to being a detection net, it also served as a drawing board to better draw a magic circle for the giants to descend.
“Then there’s nothing we can do. “I’m tired, so I’ll see you next time.”
【That’s amazing. Is it possible to handle more than three people?】
“of course. What are three people? “It’s easy for 20 people…f*ck, there’s something strange about the tone.”
For a moment I thought about asking them to increase my altitude, but then I decided against it.
Rather than wasting strength, it was better to rest when you can.
After all, I had no intention of letting even a single bald person live in this world.
As I adjusted my posture and sat down, I saw Le Tansieh tied to the spine.
It’s been a while since I passed out, and I still haven’t woken up.
He seems to be alive, but is he at least half paralyzed?
I was about to approach the car to check if he was breathing.
“Ah… my head…”
“I sleep for a long time. “Are you out of your mind?”
My pulse relaxed.
Letancier slowly opened his eyes.
As she looked around in a dazed state, she started shaking and started playing.
“Kyaaaaaaa! W-this place?!”
It was a fish that reminded me of a freshly caught mullet.
Her light brown short hair was swinging like crazy.
“I knew it would happen. “You did a good job tying it up.”
“W-Where am I?! We were definitely in the forest…! Right, what happened to Orsay!?”
“This is right on Orsay’s back. By the way, it would be best to stay quiet. “I barely convinced him that he wanted to tear you into pieces and eat you.”
“Well, like that…sigh!”
Letancier closed his mouth.
My face, which was already pale, became even whiter.
In fact, Orsay still harbored strong murderous intentions toward Le Tansy.
I’m not sure what kind of evil she committed, but since she was a woman who served as a staff member for the church, the punishment for her crime would not have been particularly heavy.
After tossing and turning, she opened her mouth.
“Phew… okay. I’ll be quiet, so can you just let me know this? “I can’t breathe.”
“I’m sorry, but that must be difficult.”

“Uh, why?”
“Now that I think about it, I don’t think your resistance group friends will be particularly happy for you. I thought it would be easier to understand if I was treated this harshly. If you’re confident, should I just let you go?”
Le Tanxie’s face hardened.
He seemed to realize that my argument was valid.
The resistance fighters are those who remain until the end and fight against the giant, but unless they were drugged, they would not like the bastards who brought down the giant.
Especially if you are an archbishop.
As she was thinking about something, she swallowed thick saliva.
“······I’ll just stay like this.”
“Good idea.”
“Joe, it seems a little loose. Could you tighten it a little more? When you get there, it would be better to crawl on all fours, right? Or maybe it would be safer to make a leash and have Ronan lead it around…”
“At that point, don’t you just want to be treated like a dog? “You’re a pervert with no answer.”
“Joe, it’s not because I like it, it’s because I want to live! “Why do you say that… ugh!”
Letancier, who was protesting, was shocked.
This was because Orsay suddenly changed course.
The backrest tilted forward and the scenery on the ground unfolded.
The vast land was full of craters.
Suddenly my eyes widened.
“This place.”
【Wow, did you recognize me?】
Orsay raised his eyebrows.
It was a slightly self-deprecating laugh.
My eyes were still fixed on the ground.
Although it had suffered terrible destruction, its outline was still recognizable.
This was where I lived.
“Ballon.”
【okay. This is a land that was once an institution.】
Orsay affirmed.
The ancient capital, which had prospered for over a thousand years, had now turned into ruins, making it difficult to find traces of the city.
Neither the majestic imperial palace nor the Phileon Academy where you could giggle with your friends were anywhere to be found.
There was no sign of popularity in the city where life had disappeared.
Only the white trees growing through the rubble were swaying to and fro in the night wind.
“······f*ck.”
There was nothing to say except swearing.
Le Tansy quietly closed his eyes.
Adeshan’s face shimmered like the moon.
I couldn’t bear to think that this was the future.
Orsay glanced at me and continued.
【Strange guy. You act like you’re seeing me for the first time.】
“Noisy.”
【joy. Just hold on tight. If it falls on the way, it will turn into a stain.】
“Now, wait a minute. “What does that mean?”
Le Tancier, sensing something ominous, intervened.
Instead of answering, I held my dorsal spine tightly.
The angle of Orsay, which was originally steep, became completely vertical.
“Ugh! no!”
A loud scream broke out.
A feeling as if my internal organs were exploding came over me.
Awesome!
As soon as the four wings were fully folded, the rapid descent began.
“Bah, f*ck me! I’m f*cking you! Ronan!”
It felt like the ground was pouring down on my head.
Even though it was time to slow down, Orsay did not stop.
Even though there’s no water or giant marshmallows underneath.
It was closer to suicide by jumping than flying, but I waited patiently.
Because I had a rough idea of what would happen next.
“Lord, dying…a tragedy.”
“It’s varied, really.”
Le Tancier, unable to overcome his fear, fainted.
The distance from the ground remained about 10 meters.
Slowly, I was starting to wonder if I should jump right now.
Each of the scales covering Orsay’s body began to glow black.
“That’s right.”
I couldn’t help but laugh.
It was a moment when I breathed a sigh of relief.
Pow!
The light suddenly became stronger and my vision was covered in black.
There was no collision.
Less than a second later, my vision became clear again.
The ruins disappeared everywhere and a huge vertical shaft appeared.
The outer walls of the tunnel, which was wide enough to allow three Orsays to pass through, were covered with luminous moss.
“This···?”
It was moss that I had seen many times before.
As I was about to look around, a floor appeared.
Orsay and our bodies were once again engulfed in black light.
Pow!
The floor disappeared and the mine shaft opened up once again.
It was Orsay’s patented short-distance blinking.
“Baby, that’s amazing.”
I was filled with admiration.
It may have been difficult to control the force because it was underground, but there was no error.
Pow!
Pow!
pop!
Several flashes occurred in succession.
The camera’s flash seemed to go off repeatedly.
The rapidly changing scenery became fixed at some point.
Paaaa…!
A bright and warm light poured down on my face.
Orsay unfolded his folded wings.
【Arrived.】
“her.”
I froze, speechless.
I couldn’t believe that the world was the same as the one I had just been in.
An incredibly large space stretched out underground.
It seemed like the entire Phileon Academy could be included.
The magically created sun and the luminous moss covering the walls provided a light source no different from that on the ground.
“green···.”
The ground was covered with vegetation.
The various tree species were not the white color reminiscent of a corpse, but the refreshing green color I was used to.
In addition, there were various colors.
Red, yellow, green and sometimes purple.
The tip of my nose suddenly became cold.
I have been here in the past, although it has been much more renovated.
Following Didican.
With Asher and Marya.
I wiped my face and muttered softly.
“Gran Cappadocia.”
【I think it was that name in the past.】
I should have known this from the moment I came to the system.
This is the blacksmith shop where La Mancha was born.
This is where I cut off the limbs of Cirilla and Edeon.
Suddenly, loud cheers erupted from far below.
“Look over there! “The captain is back!”
“Captain Orsay!”
It was a pleasant voice that did not suit the current situation.
When I peeked my head out, I saw people busily walking around.
Most of them were long-lived species such as elves and dwarves.
Or a polymorphed dragon.
Orce looked down and growled.
【Shut up. Idiots.】
“How was it today? “Did you give them a hard time?!”
They were welcoming Orsay as if he were a triumphal general.
They seemed to get along very well considering that this kid said he wasn’t a resistance fighter.
I giggled and touched his back with my toe.
“Hey, boss. “Please say something.”
【······noisy.】
Orsay blurted out.
Anyway, he was a dishonest guy.
The wind that ruffled my hair was warm.
He glided slowly and landed in a huge circle.
It was a relatively remote corner, but colorful wild flowers were blooming brightly.
I was wondering if there was a reason why I was brought here.
“Welcome. “It’s a child.”
“······!”
A woman’s friendly voice came from not far away.
I turned my head reflexively.
A woman with red hair was watering the flower bed.
The clear, transparent water was coming from the tips of her fingers, not from the watering can.
“I’m surprised that Orsay has never brought anyone with him. “He called you to talk slowly.”
【I did not follow your orders.】
“okay. okay. Of course it is.”
The woman chuckled.
The attitude towards the legendary demon dragon was like parenting a child.
Before long, she finished pouring the water and turned around.
The voluptuous chest rotated one beat late.
“ah.”
I quickly got down on one knee and showed my respect.
There was no need to check the face.
The moment I saw the unrealistic movement, I was convinced of her identity.
I never thought we would meet so soon.
I took a deep breath and opened my mouth.
“Meet the Mother of Fire.”
“······oh my god.”
However, the answer I received was a bit strange.
It was a voice that was neither joyful nor alarming, but something closer to astonishment.
She froze for a while and then approached me.
Elegant fingers grabbed the tip of my chin.
A beautiful face appeared on the cornea.
Her lips, as crimson as her eyes, slowly fell.
“You are the son of Cain.”
