Flying Whale’s Wonderful Life – I who has fused with an Invincible Weapon from the Age of Gods will build a city on my back –

The city that we actually stepped into was much more beautiful than we saw from a distance.

The shape of the houses is different from the one in the Toyokumo, and has a warm design made of bricks. The color of the tiled roof is bright, such as reddish brown, pink or light blue.

The city, which spreads out in a circular shape, is separated from the outside and inside by a river, and can be accessed by a stone bridge. Perhaps the outer area is a residential area, and the inner circle is a commercial area. I felt like I was exploring the city.

The overall scale is quite large. Did about 100,000 live?

But there is no sign of humans.

When I entered a house that seemed to be a restaurant, I found that it had been cleaned up without any dust, the tables and chairs were lined up without missing, and the flowers were alive.

Of course, you don't feel the smell of life because you don't have any humans, but it's almost as if you've had the illusion that someone was there.

"... It's creepy."

When I muttered, Varena nodded.

"Well, where did the inhabitants disappear?"

"It doesn't look like you're hiding somewhere."

"Then, the annihilation forecast seems to be the correct answer."

"But I don't know the cause ..."

As I continued searching while thinking, an object came into my eyes.

"Hey, Varena. Look at that."

I pointed to a human-sized spider robot.

He is not busy repairing the walls of his house.

"That's a robot that is maintaining the city."

"It looks like you should be aware of our presence, but there's no response. It doesn't seem to have any security features."

"No robot seems to be in charge of security. The chimera that I just wiped out might be the only guardian."

We continue to explore the city with the help of electromagnetic checkers.

Along the way, I found several other spider-type robots, but none of them were hostile.

†

The strongest response of the electromagnetic wave checker inside the city is the clock tower in the square.

I and Varena enter the clock tower and find a hidden door that leads to the basement. Down the stairs, there was a room similar to the control room of Toyokumo. And at the center is a control ball.

Control console "It seems unlikely that this is Sorashima. Varena asks for access. If you can get administrative rights, please pull out what happened in Arashima."

"……OK"

I tilt my head to Varena, who responds in a non-lifting voice.

"You are strange, what's wrong?"

"No, no problem"

"If it's really okay, I'm not going to pursue it. It's too late after something goes wrong. If you have any concerns, tell me first."

"... I'll be fine ... maybe ..."

"Maybe ..."

"I'll start accessing it."

Ballena forcibly cuts off the story and tries to hit the forefoot with the control ball.

--It was at that time.

"Fun, that's it."

The voice of a woman feeling arrogant is heard from nowhere, and a gust of wind blows into the room.

The verdant green wind, which is so densely visible that it is so dark, swirls around the room and then swirls together like a tornado.

The wind began to form a humanoid, whereupon a woman was floating. A woman with asagi-colored hair flowing down to her waist emits a huge amount of extraordinary magic.

not human. At a glance, I understood so. First, while a woman was human, she also had the characteristics of a beast.

A pair of white wings growing from the head. A hand with a key bone and a stake like a bird's foot. White feathers that wrap around sensual limbs. Those are the characteristics of the beastman. But he is not a beast.

This woman is no way ...

When I have an unpleasant premonition, a woman distorts a beautifully-shaped face uncomfortably.

"While the concubine is sleeping a little, it's true that these insects are invading.

A cold, inflected voice.

You don't even need to talk. This isn't someone who considers the opponent's circumstances. Just like a storm itself, it's just a matter of rampage.

In other words, this guy is

"A pillar of the five great spirits separated from the phantom dragon Metatron," Aeria "which controls the wind?"

One side of the airbrush of Airia rises to my voice muttering.

"Well, do you know Metatron? Even though people today do not know the concubine as Metatron's divide, they just worship as God."

Aerial glanced at me with a piercing eye.

"... I see. You look like a rabbit, but is it a human being? And you're the heir to the ship that came from that alien."

Apparently, the soul information itself was spotted. After all, it is an opponent who can not be straightforward.

Well, what to do?

There is no apparent hostility at this time, but it is safe to start a sudden battle. According to data from Toyokumo, Aeria is one of the five spirits that is particularly temperamental and elusive.

If it were to fight, this rabbit body would have no chance. After all, your opponent is one of the pillars in control of this world. Just looking at the fighting abilities, even Gabriel the Holy Dragon King is treated as a baby.

Of course, you can win if you use Toyokumo. But I don't want to fight Aeria. We want to avoid fighting whenever possible.

Well, when this rabbit body is gone, it doesn't hurt or itch, so let's go without any serious thoughts.

"Aeria, the spirit king of the wind, is this sky island your garden? If so, I apologize for stepping in without any notice."

"That's right. This island is what humans have contributed to the concubine. It is not a place where people can enter."

"... Have you contributed?"

"The man who was the custodian of this city was captivated by the beauty of the concubine. He was trying to kill all the inhabitants and stay with him on this island."

"……what?"

Did you kill all residents? And just to live with Aeria? How stupid! Did humans disappear from this island by such a boring thing?

"However, it is impossible for a concubine to live with a low-lying man. The man's neck fell off immediately, so this is a garden only for concubines."

Say, Aeria laughs arrogantly.

This guy is more violent than information ... It's troublesome to get involved anymore.

I'm sorry that I can't get Sorashima, but will this place leave quietly? I really don't want to use force to take it.

"I understand you, Airia, the King of the Winds. We'll leave this empty island immediately.

"Don't you think you can escape? And you're trying to make the garden of your concubine yours. I can't miss it."

"If you look into my soul, you should know about the toy spider. In the fight, you won't win. If you still want to fight, I'm sorry to take it."

When I declared head on, Airia disgustedly distorted her face and tongue.

"... I'm gonna go away soon. There's nothing next."

"I'm grateful for your generosity."

We've talked to Airia. I turn my heels and try to leave this place.

But--

"Captain Quito doesn't have to give up Sorashima."

Saying so, Varena glared at Aeria.

"Aeria, you are the one to leave this empty island."

†

"Is the concubine going away? Rabbit saying something interesting"

Aeria smiles, but she must be terribly angry. I was in a hurry, trying to stop the ballerina.

"Valena! What are you saying! I'm going home!"

But Varena shook her head slowly.

"This empty island was created by humans, and if so, should be managed by humans."

"No, but ..."

"It's almost suspicious that you've made a tribute. In fact, did you probably steal the administrator and rob this empty island?

The anger of Aeria finally floods outside with the voluntary deduction of Varena.

"Do you want to insult your concubine?"

"Insult? I'm just telling you what to expect."

"Do you wish that your concubine turned to humanity?"

"If so, do you swear to Metatron?"

"Thank you!"

The broken air area creates a gust of wind in the room. If this happens, the fight will no longer be unavoidable.

Fuck! Ballena guy, take care of it!

But things roll in directions I didn't expect. Aerial, who had deployed a magic square to release the wind magic, stopped moving just before him, and for some reason turned back as if he was frightened.

"Aeria, say again. Get out of here. Immediately."

Aeriya bites with a remorseful reluctance to repeat.

"... If you leave, will you forgive me?"

forgive? What does it mean to forgive?

"If you swear I will never repeat the same mistake"

"... the concubine isn't supposed to be doing that. That's true."

"But it's true that we didn't stop.

"... Okay, I swear I won't repeat the same mistakes."

Airelia's body turned into wind and flowed to the exit of the room. Ballerna puts his forefoot on the control ball, with me being amazed.

"... The renewal of administrative authority has been completed. Sorashima-" Takamagahara "will be under the control of Captain Quito."

According to Varena's words, the information of Sorashima flows into my consciousness. If true, we should work on the ballerina who persuaded Aeria.

However, a completely different word came out of my mouth.

"Valina, who are you?"
