Egret

Chapter 14. Swearing

Spring has come in earnest as we travel off the coast in the hills.

Only brown and gray fields became greenish, and buds sprouted on dry ground, each branch bearing a flowerpot ready to burst.

After a warm spring breeze, the horseman finally arrives at the huge Portal Management Center.

Since then, the mountains have been so high and rugged that they have been banned from traffic by the general public at the level of safety management.

Instead, he set up a portal and connected it so that he could enter the nearby city directly.

Unlike other portals that were available for support up to the meadow, they were only accessible by close proximity, so they were expensive enough for ordinary people to use.

So when the group arrived at the portal, they had to line up with the crowds.

They joined the waiting line without a word.

“‘Elia Airfield’ or 'Verjet Cave’. A portal leading to one of the two. ”

Edan presented the map he had originally and the guidemap he shared with the portal standby.

The portal they were trying to ride was a short-range dedicated portal, and the only two destinations Edan had mentioned.

“I've heard a lot about airfields! I was interested because Elijah was the only tribe that could tame Pegasus. ”

Sage, who was always calming, was intrigued by Elia's airfield in an unparalleled tone.

Elijah was that famous city.

Sky City Elia.

It is a huge island that floats unshakeably even at a higher position than the clouds, blessed by God.

And the winged weasel, Pegasus, that lived only in Elijah, was a species that was small in population and difficult to tame because of its temperament.

They are said to have descended from heaven like the Saint's Guardian Dog, Hebnisius, in the diocese of Elisium.

At least I interacted to some extent with Elias who lived in the same habitat for many years, remembering the smell and following it, but not all of them.

Only he who was chosen by Pegasus could climb on his back.

He likes high altitude and does not move anywhere else because of Pegasus's habit of not leaving his hometown. In addition, Elijah did not intend to distribute precious Pegasus elsewhere.

Therefore, Pegasus was a landmark and mysterious restoration that can only be seen in Elijah, the heavenly city.

“Oh? If you head straight for Elia, you can get into the Turkey Desert. ”

Baikal, who glanced at the map, pointed to Elijah and Turke with his fingers.

During Judas' graduation from Lubach, Abeldo left the Institute and returned to Turkey, where he was able to deal with the Spirit stably.

And finally, I started to rebuild the ruined land by naming the remaining Turks from the beginning.

It's been three years since then, so everyone wondered how the desert had changed.

Judas, who alternated between Sage and the rest of the group secretly sympathizing with Elijah, was unable to pull his eyes off the map.

“Yes, let's go to Elia. ”

“Yes, brother. ”

Though he pretended to be calm, Sage couldn't hide the bright colors.

“It's an island that floats higher than the clouds, isn't it scary? ”

“Ah……. ”

“Ugh.”

Elasticity and groaning were staggered.

“Actually, I was looking forward to it. because the fairy tale book I read most when I was a kid was a Pegasus legend. So it feels like something is going into the world in a book. Besides, it's like heaven in the clouds. ”

Sage looked at the ever-decreasing wait line with his expectant young eyes.

Now the portal is in front of your nose.

Bical, on the other hand, in a different sense, gave the cephalopod its heart.

“Heaven? I want to live on this earth for as long as I can. There's a fear of heights. Well, the floor is covered in transparent glass, and if it wasn't for this, it wouldn't last. ”

“Overcome with will. ”

“...... Why do you ask me to overcome it with my will? ”

According to Edan's sword-like advice, Baikal growled with a shabby smile.

Soon after, they finally entered the portal.

“Identity confirmed. Please select a destination among 'Elia Airfield’ and ‘Verjet Underground Cave’. ”

“I'm going to Elia Airfield. ”

“Set your destination to Elia Airfield. Have fun in Elia. ”

The portal was opened with the clerical guidance of the custodian.

Even if it was short-range travel, the operating principle of the portal was the same.

As I stepped into the thunderous wave of magical power, I immediately moved to the coordinates of the opposite portal.

Goooooo

As soon as I arrived, a strong wind blew and swung my clothes.

It was like a giant whale crying low.

The portal management room where they arrived was not indoors like any other area, but on Elia's tallest rock top.

Thanks to that, I was able to see Elijah's landscape at a glance as soon as I arrived.

“Huh.”

Light ammunition came out like a sigh.

There was a strange grandeur here that could not be seen in a luxurious palace or a well-decorated city.

First, I built a house like a bird nest between the shaving and screaming cliffs.

It is also an island floating in the sky, but a huge river built by a small group of wealthy waterfalls was circling the edge of the island.

The location of the Portal Management Office was the central tower of the Sky City. In addition to the role of managing Pegasus, he was responsible for managing such matters as issuing flight permits and mediating disputes.

In addition, the towers also had accommodation on each floor, which resulted in many people living in them.

‘Elijah, the heavenly city blessed by God. ’

To impress, so did Judas.

While he was floating around in his former life, he did not deliberately walk to this famous tourist destination.

A lot of people only gave him fear.

At that time, he could not have the courage and the courage to hold a person.

Anxiety about the forces that do not know when and how to burst did not let go of the ankle.

That's why I couldn't even dream of visiting a famous tourist destination with as many groups as I did today.

Judas, who became aware of his changes, had a strange expression.

“Judas? ”

“…… Ah. ”

While the other group admires the landscape, Cristina talks to Judas, who was staring at Elia as she sees other tourists waving by.

“Maybe something happened. ”

Not only her, but Edan, Baikal, Sage, and Cole and the rest of the kin were all looking at him.

Concerned, the young Judas gently shook his head.

“It's not like that. I was just amazed to be able to come to this wonderful place with you. I'm so glad."

“ ……. ”

This time it was Cristina who got stuck.

Their lords, even as they approach adulthood, sometimes express themselves as if they were naive.

“Thank you.”

Just like now.

Faced in front with a bright gold eye with a smile, Cristina shrugs her head with a look that is about to fall apart.

In front of the portal management room was finally an airfield.

A runway that stretched as long as the harbor of the sea stretched like a petal around the tower.

The runway, which consisted of a total of eight gates, was full of food-taking wings.

Seeing Pegasus flying freely around, I stared down at the blue Wyvern Fluvi, which Baikal was holding.

“Snake gall...... No, Fluby. Look over there. Horses fly with wings. Why can't you fly a dragon with a man's name? ”

“Pee?”

Fluvi tilts his head.

Having been away from his parents since he was a child, Wyvern didn't even know he could fly.

Baikal clenched his tongue in frustration.

“Ugh, the wings are decorative. ”

“Beep! Beep! ”

“What? Look at this. Are you rebelling now? ”

“Beep ―! ”

Fluvi, who knew the sarcasm, scratched his wings roughly and complained.

Edan grabbed his squeaky forehead when he saw the two striking each other for a little while.

“...... That's better. Since you're here, try flying training. ”

“Yeet?”

I grabbed Fluvi's throat and looked at Baikal, who was holding a big bowl of clothes in his sigh.

“Training? What are you doing with this coward? If you bring them to train, they'll crash in the air. ”

“Pierre!”

That insult was a fluvial that cried out like a ghost.

At that moment, I let go of Baikal's back in the air.

“ ……! ”

Fluvi didn't even intend to break his wings and fell to the ground as it was.

Baikal, who pointed to the fluvial that had fallen, shrugged his shoulders toward Edan.

“Look at this. It's just a lot of fear. You want me to train with this guy? ”

“Baikal.”

But the answer came back from the wrong place.

As the prickly Baikal turns his head, he sees Judas squinting towards Fluvi.

Fluvy was caught in the green wind just before the floorboards and stopped in the room air.

Judas stood up, holding a fluffy child with tears in his big orange eyes.

“Being afraid can't be an indicator of 'I can't.’ ”

“That.”

“You've branded this kid as never flown before, and you won't be able to fly again. Why are you making that decision? ”

“…… Sorry. ”

“Apologize to this child. ”

Judas handed over the fluby he was holding back to Baikal.

He looked suspicious with his wings extended.

In the wind, Baikal became an order and became really sorry for what happened.

“Fluvi.”

“ ……. ”

“I'm sorry. I was wrong. I'm so sorry."

In spite of Baikal's apple, Fluvi only tears without energy.

Then, Baikal also became so clumsy that he reproached himself.

‘Oops. So why are you yelling at her? I hope she does. ’

With his head wrapped around his frustration, Baikal raises Fluvi right in front of his eyes and confronts him.

“Okay. You can help me fly, right? ”

“Beep?”

The long tail, which was stretched without even knowing what he was trying to do, was slanted once.

Judas frequently accepted their flight training because he was aimed at understanding and inspecting their lives while travelling through different territories anyway.

The central tower also had a large indoor garden.

As he walked through the garden, Baikal immediately entered his first training.

Cristina asks in a tone full of annoyance.

“So what are you going to do? ”

“Hmm. You said I didn't know how to grow up alone. First of all, it's good to see and learn how other flying beasts fly! ”

I saw a swarm of pigeons running around in the prey that tourists had sown.

In the meantime, Baikal released Fluvi.

“Beep……. ”

“Spurs!”

“Old Gugu Gugu! ”

A swarm of fat pigeons jumped quietly without flying.

Fluvy looks at the cockroaching pigeon as he searches for something to eat.

Then I began to knell and knell on the floor.

"What a jerk! I didn't let you learn that! ’

Once fluffy, Baikal wraps her head around her head and gives her an audacity without sound.

Will Baikal be able to turn Fluby into a flying Pokémon... (?)

It reminds me of a time when I was a Pokémon, but I was suffering from a lime that I couldn't fly. (Why can't you fly with wings! ◗)

We hope you enjoyed reading today, and we always appreciate your support!

So I'll see you tomorrow at this time. Heh.
