17 Episode 17, We Arrived at the Moon.




When I was high enough to see the ground, I took control of the myotome cloud and moved towards the sky above the lake.

As I neared the surface of the water, I took out the ruyi rod from my storage spell and extended it toward the bottom of the lake.

A few tens of seconds later.
When I felt the tip of the stick touch the bottom of the lake, I stopped extending it.

Immediately after that, I received a reminder from ...... Artemis.

"I've applied life force enhancement to all life in the lake. Now you can leave the lake frozen for a while and the creatures inside will be safe.

Thank you. ...... So, Caucasus, we're ready. Release the freeze spell immediately.

All right.

As I instructed, the Caucasus pointed its horns at the lake.
Then he shot a flash of ...... magic into the water from his horn.

A few seconds later.
A few seconds later, with a cracking sound, the entire lake instantly transformed into a block of ice.

Try grabbing the ruyi pole and shaking it.
...... Well, it doesn't make any sense at all. It looks like we can go to the moon without any problem.

Let's head for the moon!

I clung to the ruyi-bar with Artemis equipped and began to extend it.



"Oh, finally!


"Oh, we're finally back to the height we were at before. ......

That's it.

About six minutes after he started aiming at the moon with the ritual stick.
I'm not sure what to make of that.

Incidentally, this is the state of our group right now.

First of all, the Caucasus is clinging to the bottom, and the Caucasus is holding the Myotidium between its horns.
And on top of the myotrope sits me and Belzebub, equipped with Artemis.

My role is to cast healing spells on the legs of the Caucasus as needed so that it does not get tired and fall.
And Belzebub's role is to channel magic into the myotrope and deploy the weather shield.

Although the myotrope loses its ability to ascend above the stratosphere, it is useful for maintaining atmospheric pressure and reducing cosmic rays.
This division of labor will allow us to comfortably reach the moon.

At this rate, we should be able to ascend to a place where the atmosphere is quite thin in less than ......1 hours.
At that rate, there will be no significant shock waves even if we travel at supersonic speed.
When we reach that point, we should increase the ascent speed.



We'll increase our ascent speed.


Another six hours have passed since then.

Once I was out of the stratosphere, I started to increase the speed of my ruyi-bar. ...... Then I discovered a surprising fact.

To my surprise, the limit to the speed of the ruyi-band's extension was not just "a little faster than the speed of sound".

The acceleration of the stick had continued until just now.
Now, I think it would not be surprising if the speed was four times the speed of sound.

This would allow us to reach the moon sooner than we thought.

Well, we'll still have to spend a few days in the enclosed space of the muscular dungeon weather shield. ...... It's not as if we'll be bored.

The planet we were on was breathtakingly beautiful from this height. ......

"Nice view, .......

"Oh, .......

Not only me, but also the Caucasus and Belzebub were soothed by the sight.

And then...
I suddenly decided to observe various celestial bodies in the universe anyway.

It's not every day you get a chance to observe celestial objects clearly without being disturbed by the atmosphere.
Let's use telephoto magic and capture the precious moments.

As a start, I decided to observe a planet orbiting one of the outer planets.

After a few minutes, I was able to find the planet.

So I increased the magnification of my telescopic magic to get a better look at the planet. ...... I got a clear view of the planet, and I almost fell out of the myotrope.

...... Why does that planet have four satellites?

As far as I know, there are only two satellites on that planet.
That fact has been confirmed many times by scientists.
I've never heard of four. Something's not right about this. .......

After taking several deep breaths and regaining my composure, I came to a conclusion.

I've been reincarnated on a different planet than the one before.

Surely, it all makes sense now.
The tamers of the world don't know about sentient evolution.
And that tamer's are treated unfairly.
That none of them know about true chanting magic.

It was all just a matter of "civilization on this planet has not yet reached that level.

Well, I can't really say what it is, if you ask me.

I'm not sure what to say about it.



I'm not sure what to say.


I wonder how many days have passed since then.

We finally ...... got close enough to the moon to see the pebbles clearly.

...... It's been a long journey indeed.
Even though we had traveled at super speed, several times the speed of sound,......, 380,000 km was still a long way.

Suddenly, I thought of piloting the Myotid Cloud, and I reminded it to move.
Then ...... the myotrope moved slightly.

It was an experiment based on the hypothesis that "the ability of the myotrope to fly is demonstrated near the surface of celestial bodies. ...... It seems that I was right.

"Thank you, Caucasus. It looks like I can move the myotrope now, so get on it. We'll go to the moon together.

I said to the Caucasian and slowed down the growth of the ruyi-bar.

Then I flew to the surface of the moon in the ...... myotome.

Artemis was placed on a nearby rock made of lunar metal.


Then ...... Artemis took the form of a girl again.

Thank you. I never thought I'd be able to come back here again. I never thought I'd be back here again. ...... I'm full of energy.

Artemis said and stretched.

Artemis then stretched, lying down in a rocky hollow in Lunametal.

If you can give me that much time, I'll be able to help you. If you give me that much time, ...... I should be able to get my strength back to about 60% of what it was in my prime. Then I'd like to share some of my power with Valius in return.
