A few days later…
“Uwa~~! Big!”
In front of our eyes, a big tree filled our view.
A tree so big that you would need two adjectives to emphasize how big it is.
Even so, it was still far away, and right before our eyes came a mountain range that extends, the big tree was simply peeking out its head from the other side of the mountains.
In other words, that tree was taller and towered over the mountains.
“So that’s the prided giant tree of the Earth Church, Great Pillar-sama!!” (Karen)
Having the permission of Yorishiro-sama, it took me a few days using my flying machine to fly here. This is my first time going to such a faraway place.
Normally, the heroes of their respective Church have to protect the believers from monsters, so leaving their base is not allowed.
But with the development of the ethereal machines, journeys that take several days become a few hours thanks to the flying machine, and our scope of action has radically expanded, so slight absences have become forgivable now.
Even so, this trip to Ishtar Blaze takes several days even with the flying machine.
In the time I was troubled since something like that wouldn’t be forgiven, thanks to the special consideration of Yorishiro-sama, and Doraha-san who can serve as a guard for the Light capital, I managed to come all the way here.
“Sasae-chan! This is your homeland, right?” (Karen)
“Please spare me-dasu~~! Just kill me already-dasu~~!!” (Sasae)
The reason why Sasae-chan was at the last stages of her sanity was because she had been riding the flying machine until now.
She was holding onto my back, but as expected, the super high-speed of the flying machine seems to be tough on first timers.
The further we go, the more stamina it shaves off Sasae-chan, so we are currently taking a break for her sake.
“To think there be such a fearsome ride, the city be scary-dasu!! The distance that it be taking a month of repeated camping was closed in a few days!!” (Sasae)
I feel like I am watching the Haine-san I met for the first time.
Haine-san quickly got used to it, but I wonder about this girl.
“Seriously, how pathetic. For a hero to wail at something of this level.” (Mirack)
“Right? But well, this serves as punishment for rampaging at Apollon City so, isn’t it fine?” (Celestis)
Is what the accompanying Mirack-chan and Celestis-chan say.
…Wait a moment.
“Uhm, I should have asked this sooner but…” (Karen)
“Hm?” (Mirack)
“What?” (Celestis)
“Why are you two tagging along as well?” (Karen)
The fire hero, Mirack-chan; and the water hero, Celestis-chan. These two that are the heroes of other churches should not have any connection to this matter. Moreover, they have to protect their own base, so they shouldn’t be able to travel far thoughtlessly.
The two of them came on their own flying machine that is dyed in the color of their respective church, so if monsters appear in their base, they would take several days in order to return.
“What are you saying, Karen? We are already comrades. No matter where you go, we go together, right?” (Mirack)
“In order to realize my future plans of a worldwide live tour, I was thinking about checking out the five capitals at least once. It seems like thanks to the kindness of the Light Founder, that shadow girl will be protecting our bases too anyways.” (Celestis)
So there was such an arrangement…
Is it really okay to be placing so much weight onto Doraha-san?
It should be okay. She is so strong after all.
“Also, Karen, this time’s matter is not something that the other churches can ignore either, you know?” (Mirack)
“Eh?”
“With this girl rampaging in Apollon City, the special point of the Earth Church has been made public after all. Freely controlling the monsters that are originally our enemies, giving out an order to kill a specific person through an oracle, moreover, that reason is because that person is the personification of the Dark God Entropy…” (Mirack)
