From The Strongest Job of Dragon Knight, To The Beginner Job Carrier, Somehow, The Heroes are Depending on Me
We'll get through Story Eleven.
Laurier frowned at the sight.
"Eh... I can't believe this place is falling apart..."
This tunnel is relatively recent and sturdy, bringing together the powers of Pit Man, Craftsmanship Magician, and Designer in the Spirit City.
It is not possible to think that it will break by a slight shock, and it is not expected to break even after the service life.
If there is a broken factor,
"... the influence of Ouroboros?"
Probably not.
Laurier mumbled in a small voice to Axel, who had the same idea as himself.
He was never the only one who was attacking or rampaging in the city.
It's not strange that there's a local earthquake in a place like this.
... the damage is rather small for that giant.Maybe it wasn't a direct outburst, but....
As seen, a condition like a landslide has also occurred.
The roots of the trees were weakened by the devouring of the magic power, and it may have slipped to the point of breaking the tunnel.
However, it is not the case that we are thinking of such an assumption now.
The cause of this is, as we will clarify later, what is important now,
"The checkpoint is behind this mountain, or is it the flat ground behind this tunnel?"
The points shown on the map are flat lands surrounded by mountains.
We have to go through there.
... you can't take a detour because you're surrounded by mountains...
There is no other tunnel.
Now that it's broken, the only way I can do it is to...
Well then, let's climb up.
That's what Axel said before we tried to say it.
"Eh......"
Too lightly said, Laurier unexpectedly asked.
Up here?
"Yeah. Here."
Apparently, it wasn't a mistake.
"As you can see, it's almost a cliff, here."
"Well, that's the only way, isn't it?If digging a tunnel is fast, I'll do it, but... it could collapse even more.Or are there other mountains that are easy to climb?Or a mountain where you can get to the checkpoint in the shortest time. "
Laurier looked at the map and thought about the terrain in his mind.And the conclusion comes right away.
"... no. The other mountains are too well-maintained, I don't know the geography, and basically the elevation is high."Honestly, I think it's best to climb this mountain if you can climb it.However, the slope is as you can see... can you go? "
It was definitely the shortest distance, but it was originally a mountain where we had to build a tunnel.
That's why I asked.
"No problem. It feels like I've touched a lot of mountain skin."I can see the safe route. "
Axel was looking over the tunnel as he touched the skin of the rock near the tunnel.
"How much do you know...?!"
"Well, these mountains were climbed many times during the Dragon Knight era."... I need to think about my uphill posture... but it's better to bear it. I don't mind.
"Huh...?"
No, I mean, the magic chair would be tight here.
Axel said as he looked at the chair where we were sitting.
Can you carry me on your back?
Yeah. It's okay to hold one or two. Daisy--
"--Ah, if you can return to the beast form in about five minutes."Can I put it in my best friend's pocket? "
Roger that. Now, at your signal, you'll be a beast.
Okay, okay, okay.
That's all we needed to talk to Daisy.
However,
"Are you going to climb this mountain in five minutes...?"
Not only the skin of the rocks I can see now, but the mountains are still going on above it.
At least it would take a few hours to climb.
Hmmm, I don't think it's going to take that long at this distance.
That's what Axel said.
"However, just in case, sometimes I ask for directions, so it would be helpful if you could guide me while on my back"
I got it, I got it.
After smiling and nodding to the answer, Axel approached and crouched with his back turned.
"Come on, get in."
This is the posture of getting on your knees so that you don't move your legs.
"Oh, thank you."
With such a back in hand, Laurier slowly deposited his body.
Place your hands on the shoulders of the accelerator.
Turn your feet around your hips.
As you do so, your weight slowly puts you on the back of the accelerator.
”... my shoulders and back are more tight than I thought.”
Even if I got on it, I wasn't really shocked that I didn't feel one step at a time.
"Yeah, but it's not that comfortable."
"That's not true." Something that feels safe enough. "
"Oh, you know what I'm talking about, Laurie."When I'm on my best friend's body, I feel a sense of stability. "
As I tell you, Daisy is approaching us.
"I'm glad to hear it's popular." Well then, Daisy. "
"Yeah, it's gonna change."
As soon as Daisy was in the shape of a beast, she rode onto Axel's shoulder.
"I'll support you if you want to keep the princess from falling."
"I'm begging you, let's climb."
And that was the moment I said it.
- Oh, my God!
With that sound, the ground was suddenly far away.
"---!?"
The next thing I felt was the wind.
Winds come from the front and top of my cheeks and hair.
When I thought about it, Axel's feet were already on the mountain skin above the tunnel,
"Come on, let's go."
At once, I started going uphill.
Crawl to the ground - no, on a steep slope.
The accelerator is in a forward leaning position, but it pushes forward while holding this body firmly with its arms.
...... I can't even get out of my magic chair, this is it...!
And the point of view is higher than when you're in a chair.
That's why there was something close to the point of view of standing and running on my leg that I hadn't tasted for a long time.
However, the sense of speed is completely different from what I have.
Is it moving at this speed?
Daisy on the shoulder shook her head with a smile as she crushed it unexpectedly while carrying it on her back.
"No, you're my best friend. Slow down a lot."
This is it!?
Even though you're driving on a slope at a carriage-like speed, the branches of the trees don't hit you.
... you're running through the space so you don't hit me on the back...!?
I know the reason.
That's why I found myself running at an awesome level of technology.
While I was talking about these two or three words, and I had feelings,
- Don!
Along with that sound, the scenery flows more and more.
Fly a dozen meters in one step.
Every time the sound goes off, it goes on.
Naturally, that's why it's going on.
Break through the top of the hill--gurgly.
Soon, we reached a position where we could see the other side of the mountain.
†
Speaking of the mountains, there are many trees and the view of the surrounding area is bad.
Soon after that, I thought so.
So,
Laurier, which next?
I asked Laurier on my back.
"Oh, that way. You can see a little flat land with little trees, right?"
I saw the direction where he pointed his finger over my shoulder.
Indeed, I saw a flatland between the trees.
"Oh, that's surprisingly close." Then let's keep it that way. "
”Ehhhhhh!”
I'll slide down with Laurier on my back.
It's easier to accelerate if it's not steeper than the slope you just climbed.
She kicked the slope, gained a downward acceleration, and pushed forward while avoiding the trees and branches.
"-Arriving, right?"
In a few seconds, I reached the flat ground beyond the mountains.
And at the end of our gaze, the bright purple flowers,
"Ah, the checkpoint..."
There was an orange light.
"Ah, Axel, I'm going to get down and touch you."
"Oh, okay."
I went near the checkpoint and dropped off Laurier, who was slightly stretched out.
She opened the book of God and touched the light with one hand.
"... yes. Now the checkpoint is over here, and the next one is across that mountain."
Looking at the Book of God, Laurier pointed to the mountain on the other side of the road.
"I see.... then, to move on to the next checkpoint."Let's climb and descend again. "
Yeah, yeah, I'll take care of it.
So I carried Laurier on my back and headed toward the mountain again.
