247-Episode 243 Makoto Takatsuki Heads to the Moon Country




 Currently, we are flying in the sky on the back of the white dragon (Mel).

 The members are Abel the Brave, the Great Sage(peach), Mr. White Dragon(Mel), and me.
 The members are the same as the ones from the Great Maze.

 The wooden hero (Julietta) wanted to come with us, but Hakuryu (Mel) said not to add too many people to the group, so he cried and gave up.
 I felt a bit sorry for him, but I couldn't complain because Hakuryu(Mel) was going to give me a ride.

''Wow, that's expensive, Master!
'Amazing view! I can't fly so high on my wings!
'Hmm. I'm sure you are, I'm sure you are.
 The frolicking Daishonin-sama (Momo) and the brave Abel.
 The white dragon (Mel) is very proud of his reaction.


 And I'll tell you what I'll do........


..........
 It's silent.

 Because, wow, I'm scared.
Even after using the "Clear Water" skill, I was still scared.
 The shaking is loud, and the wind can't keep your eyes open.
 Ehhh........is this going to last forever?

 It's not at all like the comfortable air travel of an airship........
 But Momo and Abel look like they're having fun, so I can't break the air.
 Patience, patience.

"Spirit Master, would you like to fly a little slower?
I'd appreciate it if you would.
 Mr. White Dragon (Mel) immediately recognized me.
 After all, she's the oldest and most attentive.

 Thanks to Mr. White Dragon (Mel) slowing down, I was finally able to have a conversation with him.
 I tried not to look down too much as I talked to both of them.

'You've never been to the Land of the Moon (Raphiloig), have you, Mako-san?'
 I was chatting with Abel the Brave and he asked me a question.
'I have,' he almost answered, hastily holding his mouth down.

'Of course I've never been there,'
 I've been to the royal capital of the Land of the Moon (Raphiloig) a thousand years later.
 It was an empty ruin.

'Actually, I've always wanted to go there. I've only heard about it through rumors, but it's the only holy city that has escaped the threat of the Demon King's army for the past few hundred years. What kind of place is it?''
Well.........
 In contrast to Abel, whose eyes sparkle with anticipation, my reply is heavy. 

 The reason why the Land of the Moon (Rafiroig) is flourishing is because it is connected to the Demon King's army.
 According to the picture book, it is Abel, the brave man, who will expose that fact.
 Since I can't leave Abel, I brought him with me, but what will happen.......

''Master, you can't practice fire magic here!
 The peach next to me appealed to me.
 When I'm on the back of White Dragon (Mel), the wind is so strong that the fire seems to disappear.
 By the way, I'm also continuing to practice water magic and fate magic.

I'm not going to be able to get it right. You can use earth magic or wood magic, right?
 I suggested another magic to Momo.

''Ugh you're not going to tell me that I don't have to train while I'm moving...''
You'd rather not be on the road when you're not doing anything but practicing.
 He's a disciple who says things I don't understand.
 Later, though, the Great Sage.
 That's when I remembered something important.

"White Dragon, could you teach Momo how to transfer space (teleportation)?
 I shouted to Hakuryu (Mel) while the wind made it hard for me to speak.

''Hmm? I'm going to teach you. I don't mind.
'Master, how is this happening all of a sudden?' 
'Because I can't teach, you know. But peaches have 'wise guy' skills that you can use.
 A thousand years later, the Great Sage Master was one of the continent's leading users of spatial transitions (teleportation).
 So Momo must have a talent.

''Then I'll teach you some destiny magic in my free time.
''Yes, yes ... there are now two masters.
'This is the first time I've ever taught a human, or even a half-vampire, magic. Hmm, I'm a tough one, huh?
Ugh, go easy on him.
 White Dragon (Mel), you're so good at taking care of people.

 The old dragons (Ancient Dragons) of the Great Labyrinth (Labyrinthos) looked up to you.
 He's like a big sister to me.
 As expected of a ten thousand year old dragon.
 However, I got a glare when I mentioned my age, so it seems I shouldn't say it.

''Mako-san, what should I do?''
 The brave Abel asked me something strange.
 There's nothing I can say to Abel, the legendary savior of the world, to be proud of....

''Well, I'm not a swordsman, so there's nothing I can teach you, Abel-san.
I see.....
 You look a little sluggish.


 --Then I remembered something Fujiyan had told me a long time ago.


'Listen, Tuckey-dono. When three or more friends get together, the conversation should be about 'common knowledge'. I and Tacky-dono are having a great time talking about the game, but if someone who doesn't know much about the game mixes in here, they'll feel alienated. It's important that you have other knowledge as well.
I see.
 It's as good as it gets, Fujiyan, a strong communicator.
 It's useful.

"Therefore, Tacky-dono will understand the beauty of 'chemo-ears'!
 Apparently, he just wanted to talk about his hobby.
 It wasn't helpful.

''I think people with the 'chemo-ear' hobby know a lot about video games...I'm biased...''
Hmm, now that you mention it, that makes me feel that way.
 It doesn't matter.
 At the time, I didn't understand the beauty of "chemo ears" after all. 

 Be that as it may.

 Me, Great Sage-sama (Momo) and White Dragon (Mel) are having a great time talking about magic.
 Only the brave Abel is not participating in the conversation.
 This shouldn't be.

''Can you teach me solar magic? I'm new to this, having only recently acquired the skill, so I'm unfamiliar with it.
I'll teach you...? Yes, sir! We'll take care of it.
 Abel's face lit up.
 The correct route.

'Well, I'd like you to get right to work and see my magic.
I mean, right now?
Hey, guys. Don't let the magic fail on my back. 
 While being warned by the white dragon, we continued our journey in the sky.



 Abel the Brave's point of view.



 It was nighttime and we decided to camp out as Hakuryu (Helpmelk)-sama was tired.

 Mako-san caught some fish from the river and Momo-chan cooked for us.
 I wanted to help, but Makoto-san told me to take a break, so I had nothing to do.

 After we had dinner, we took turns taking a break.

Then Abel-san goes first.
'Master, you're wobbling, right? You need to rest.
Spirit Master. You're the tiredest of all. Rest.
Okay.....
 It seems that Makoto-san was using a lot of energy to get on Hakuryu-sama's back.
 As soon as he laid down, he heard her breathing in her sleep.

''I'm with you!''
 Momo crawls under Mako's blanket and looks happy to be sleeping too.
 She's like a little sister spoiling her brother.

 The rest of us are Hakuryu-sama and I.
 By the way, Hakuryu-sama's current form is not that of a dragon, but that of a woman of the human race.

''.........''
..........
 No conversation.
 Awkward.
 As if to break the silence, the White Dragon Master spoke to me.

''By the way, why are you in the form of a female ... 'Heavenly Wing Tribe' now? We should keep it hidden, shouldn't we?
'I'm the only one here who knows my secrets.... Also, I'm more comfortable in this form at night. During the day, I take on the form of a man....
"Hmm, you mean you have a mixed blood constitution? That's a tough one.
It's been a long time since I've been able to be in my natural form like this.
 I said, and looked at Makoto's sleeping face.

 It hadn't been that long since we met.
 But Makoto-san never ceases to amaze me.

 Let's follow this man.
 I'm sure that if I trust in Makoto-san, everything will be fine.
 The idea came to me naturally.


It's not a good idea.
 Lord White Dragon said with a grin.

 I almost missed it for a moment.
 Dangerous?
 Is that you, Makoto? 
 This thing is so strong.
 I stared at the white dragon-sama's face in surprise.

''What, human brave boy. Don't you think so? You don't think that if you follow Spirit Master-kun, everything will be fine, do you?
?
 He grinned at me.
 I felt as if Hakuryu-sama had seen through my heart and I shushed him.
 Why are you saying that?

''White Dragon-sama........ Please tell me, what do you mean by that?''
'Don't shout, you'll both wake up. ...this is just my opinion, and it doesn't mean it's right. Do you still want to hear it?
I have to ask...
Very well.
 Saying that, the words spoken by the legendary White Dragon Master, who is said to have lived for ten thousand years, were enough to surprise me.
