277 273 stories Makoto Tagesa heads to the Demon Conti...




 
 Dark clouds that go on forever.
 In the midst of it, I'm flying on a black dragon.
 But, of course, it's Mel who is carrying me.

 The white dragon's form is too conspicuous, so this time he is changing his form using the "Change" technique.
 You can count on Mel for a lot of things.

It's a long way. It's a long way.
Yes, there's a minion of the Demon Lord lurking up ahead. Let's go around.
Master, you know exactly what I mean.
Even an elf's clairvoyance can't see them. ......
 Master Momo and Miss Jonny are staring at us.

I saw the future. It's useful.
「「「「......」」」」
 My words were met with subtle expressions from everyone.

 I'm not lying.
 Why are you looking at me like that?

(Everyone is thinking that Takatsuki Makoto is becoming more and more human .......)
 The goddess of fate read our minds and told us.
 Even if you say so, the "future vision" is not my will because it activates by itself.
 I'm not crazy.

It'll take me a few days to get to the Great Demon Lord's castle on the Demon Continent. Don't waste too much of your divine energy.
 As much as I'd like to.
 I can't control my future vision.

B-but you have to save your strength! You know what I mean.
 Hey, .......
 The goddess of fate (Ila) is starting to nag me like Noah.
 I hope Noah is doing well. .......

What are you thinking about, Makoto?
 Anna peeked her head in.

I've been thinking about a friend of mine back home.
 I can't tell you much about Noah-sama.

I can't tell you much about Noah-sama, but I can tell you that there are four of them. Are you talking about his girlfriend? Which girl were you thinking about?
 Anna asks with a pout on her lips.
 I thought you didn't believe me?

I'm afraid it's someone else.
"The fifth one?
 I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

"......Makoto-san's fantasy girlfriend has increased." (whisper)
"...... What kind of setting is it this time? Anna-san, please listen to me.
"...... Yeah! I don't want to! Momo-chan, listen to me.
...... I don't like it because it makes me feel uncomfortable.

"I hear you, both of you.
 Let's not talk about this anymore.

 I'm not going to talk about it anymore.



 "We're going to camp here today.



"We'll camp here today.
 Jonny found a suitable place for camping and made a table and chairs out of wood magic.
 She is also making a simple bed.
 Wood magic is so useful.
 And you're handy.

 The Shiro Dragon (Mel) is putting up wards, and the Brave Warrior of Light (Anna) and the Great Sage (Momo) are preparing a meal.
 I looked for a job to help ......, but there was nothing.

 I had no choice but to wait with the Great Spirit of Water (Dea) while practicing magic.
 I used water magic to create various forms of creatures.
 We made them fly, run, and talk to each other.
 Lively and fun.

What's going on with that ......? Why do you need to make magic talk?
 I'm not sure what to make of that.

I'm not sure what to make of that.
 I replied, rather proudly.

 It reminded me of Lucy's mother Rosalie's holy grade magic that she showed me in Spring Rogue.
 Was that the magic of the fire angel?
 It's only water magic, but I think I've finally reached that level.

"The reason I 'talk' to my magic is to enhance its power. You don't need to let it speak freely.
I also use sacred magic, but not in the same way that you do.
 I'm not sure what to make of it, but it's a good idea.
 I'm not sure what to say.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's worth it.
 What? No way!
 Even the goddess of fate, Ila!


 Noah-sama even gave me a compliment!

(Maybe it's Noah's fault, ......, why doesn't he teach his apostles how to use magic efficiently?
 Noah-sama said that there are no set rules for magic, so "do what you want".

 I see.
 I guess my magic is inefficient.
 It's true that I've been feeling like I've stopped growing lately.
 The proof.

"Hey Dea. My water magic proficiency hasn't risen at all from 999.
 I asked the Great Spirit of Water as I showed her my soul book.

I don't care about those numbers. I don't care about such numbers, but my king is definitely getting stronger.
"Is that so?
 I'm not sure I really feel it, but according to the Great Spirit of Water (Dea), my water magic is growing properly.
 I don't know when it's going to go up. .......
 I've been looking at my soulbook for a while now, and someone called out to me from behind.

"Makoto, handsome, dinner is almost ready.
"Oh, thank you. Anna-san.
 For some reason, the hero of light put his hand around my neck and leaned on me.
 I'm not sure what to say.

"You've been working hard today, haven't you? After dinner, you can see my magic.
 He pulled me by the hand.

 He seemed nervous at the start of the trip, but now he's calm.
 Good.

(Well, a woman is always happy when she can be with the man she loves.
 The voice of the Goddess of Destiny (Ila) echoed.
 We're about to have a battle with the Great Demon King.

(Be kind to Anna.) (Be gentle with Anna, it will greatly affect the power of the Hero of Light skill.)
 Huh. .......
 I don't like that kind of calculative behavior.

 But the only way to attack the Great Demon Lord is with the Hero of Light skill.
I'm not sure what to make of it, but I think it's a good idea.  
 So, I can't afford to upset Anna.  

 However, during dinner, Anna was smiling and talking to me.
 The dinner consisted of roasted beast meat from the forest, fruit from the nearby area, and bread from the labyrinth city.
 It was all delicious.

 After dinner, I accompanied the Great Sage (Momo) and the Brave Warrior of Light (Anna) in their training.

 Mel, the white dragon who had carried us all the way, was lying down and resting, while Jonny was sipping on the alcohol he had brought with him.

 After a while, the Great Sage (Momo) and the Brave Warrior of Light (Anna) said they had lost their concentration, so we took a break.

 I'm continuing my training in water magic.
 Recently, I don't get tired at all no matter how much I use magic.
 I wonder if this is a good practice?
 I feel a little uneasy.

 While I continued to use water magic, I looked around and noticed that Johnny was looking up.  

"What are you looking at, Johnny?
Oh, ......, this tree is a cherry blossom.
Sakura?
 I turned my gaze towards it.

 There are no flowers or leaves, but the tree trunk and branches certainly look like a cherry tree.
 But I'm in another world.

A long time ago, some people came to our world and spread cherry trees. Cherry trees aren't uncommon in this world.
 Master Ila told me about it.

 Oh, ......, is that so?
 In my previous world, I never took the time to look at cherry trees, but now I miss it.
 But now I miss it, though it's in a lonely state without leaves or flowers.

"Well, why not? Let's make them bloom.
What?
 Jonny mumbled something as if it was nothing and said some kind of chant.

 The buds formed on the cherry blossoms and the light pink petals began to open.

"Wow......
Beautiful. ......
 "Wow " "Beautiful " Anna and Momo's admiring voices echoed.

"Wow, this is really something.
 I heard the voice of Mel.
 It's like a magic that even the old dragons admire.


 A few minutes later, a cherry tree in full bloom appeared.


 It was quite conspicuous, but with Mel's warding, the demons should not be able to find it.
 When the wind blew, the light pink petals flew through the air.

It's beautiful.
"It's nice, the cherry blossom blizzard.
 I nodded to Jonny.

"Hanami. Let's drink, Makoto.
"Thank you.
 Even though I was still in training, I accepted the cup gratefully.


 It's not Japanese not to drink.

"Do you like this flower, Master?
Oh, it's a flower that grows in my hometown.
 I want to show it to Sa-san.
 I'm sure he'll be pleased.

Then, when we get back to the labyrinth, we'll plant more of these flowers.
"Great, Momo. I'll help you.
 The Great Sage (Momo) and the Brave Warrior of Light (Anna) are getting excited.

 It's not a flower, but a tree. .......
 I'm not going to say anything stupid.
 I'd like to see more cherry blossoms in this world.

 I finished the day with a peaceful mind, looking at cherry blossoms for the first time in a long time.




 I finished the day with a peaceful feeling.



 Over the next two days, we crossed the western continent and arrived at the black sea.
 The sea that separates the western continent from the northern continent.

 We rode on Mel's back on the sea.
 Just as we were getting tired of the dim view of the sea, a gray land appeared in front of us.


"It's coming into view.
"Mr. Shiro Dragon, is that ......?
Yes, that's it. That's the home of the demon tribe. Didn't you people call it the northern continent?
 I'm not sure what to say.
 Even Jonny seemed to be a little nervous.


 The Northern Continent - also known as the Demon Continent.


(Come to think of it, ...... is the first time I've been here. ......)
 In the world a thousand years later, I fought against demons and demon kings from the demon continent, but I had never been there.
 It was my first time to land.


 This is how we entered the continent where the Great Demon Lord resides.
