152-Episode 139: Sage, Control Legendary Beast?




 We crossed a sea of white clouds.
 We looked up at the bright blue sky, the sun baking our skin.
 The sound of the wind whistling beat against my earbuds, and I could smell the faint scent of the tide.

 A total of 620 people from Adventurer's School Chapter 5 were riding on the back of a giant monster bird, heading towards the Sow Trading Country.

 You would think that 620 people could be carried on board, but Chrome's built-in magical power allows it to expand and contract its body at will.
 At its maximum, it was equivalent to the size of a country's castle.

 If it weren't for that kind of power, a single animal wouldn't have been able to take on humanity and the demon race at the same time.

 I take the lead and tell my pet chrome the direction of my destination.
 Because Chrome is a bird-head.
 It easily forgets where it's headed.
 That's why we need to be careful.

''Sage, where was Krome heading?''

 You see?
 I've already forgotten about it.
 I used the magic of 【Mapping】 to check the location for a while, and then gave the instructions again.

 Air travel is quite comfortable.
 Using transfer magic, it saves time and is more efficient than anything else.
 But when it comes to travel, it's indeed tasteless.
 It's not that I'm not a fan of this, but I'm not a fan of it.

 We've been squeezing our students a lot lately.
 It's a good idea to give them time to do things other than train.

 But even with that training - a.k.a. Lasell Hell - there are still people who are in good spirits.

 One of them stood behind him.
 He was holding a wooden training sword in his hand.

'Lacelle! Win!

 Oh dear, I turned around.
 The large, ample belly - a young man with a firm, toned body was standing there, laying low.
 On his uniform, there was a cherry blossom emblem on it to indicate his primary student.

 It is a Borunga.

You're in good spirits too. You were training in that space until yesterday, weren't you?

'Ha! I don't care how tired you are. I just want to beat you.

 Ah. Yes, yes.
 Was this guy such a hot character?
 Well, it's a good thing you're willing to do it.

'Well, that's good, but are you okay with it?'

What?

'Oh. That one.

 I pointed toward the back of Bornga.
 There were more than six hundred students lying there.
 Some of them included faculty and staff, and some were being cared for by the school's resident healer.

 They all had pale faces.
 Some were even slack-jawed.
 Chrome's back had turned into a field hospital.

"Huh. I'm not in the same boat as them!

 Borunga stretches his chest.
 But the next moment--.

 Goo.

 The sound of his belly rang out.
 Borunga hurriedly hides his belly.
 I grinned.

"The guy who was vomiting all over the place just now doesn't say a word. It just felt good to get everything out of your stomach.

Oh, shut up!

 Borunga's face turned red and he turned away.
 I sulked.

 Good grief.........
 I thought it was a good idea for me to travel in the sky in Chrome, but I didn't expect this to happen.

 The sickness that is consuming the students of the Adventurer's School Chapter 5 is, simply put, not seasickness, but chrome (sic) sickness.

 When flying normally, it's not a problem at first, but as mentioned above, Chrome often forgets it.

 He would forget that he had a man on his back, and so he would flail about, turning 180 degrees, climbing vertically, trying to drop leaves, and so on.
 He would shake, and the sky and earth would be upside down, so he finally got chrome sickness, not sky sickness, but chrome sickness.

'Sage! Wise man!

Hmm? What the hell, Chrome!

"I just realized! There's a lot of people on the back of chrome!'

 Again..........

 I covered my face.
 Then, Chrome speeds up.
 It accelerated so fast all at once that we all almost got shaken off.

 I instructed them to hold on to their chrome hairs.

'Look, look, look! Human, fall down!

Stop! Chrome! I just explained it to you! This human is my servant.

"The wise man's servant?

'Yes! Servants. So slow down! Fool!

'Oh! Wise man, I said fool! Whoever said he's an idiot is an idiot!'

'Dahhhh! Now is not the time to say that. Calm down!

 It was then.

'Kyaaaaaah!

 The screams echoed.
 One student finally got shaken off.
 To be clear, there is no student in our school who can be shaken off at this level of speed range.

 However, I finished my training for the anti-magician yesterday.
 In addition to that, I am chrome drunk.
 It's not surprising that some of the students are not feeling well.

 Oh dear..... It's no use.
 In the meantime, I'm supposed to be in charge of the school trip.
 I don't know what the chairman--and even the headmaster of the Vael School--will say if he he hears that one student has disappeared.

 Tons!

 I kicked Chrome's back.
 Activating the magic.

 [Levitation]

 It floats softly.
 It's a magic that floats in the air.
 Its control is difficult, and it's a magic that most [mages (wizards)] have stopped using nowadays.

 It's already a legendary magic in this era, but in fact, it just floats puka puka puka.
 It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.

 But by adding a certain arrangement to this magic, I succeed in accelerating it.

 Geez!

 I cut the sky.

"Oh!
Fast!
''To use [levitation] to accelerate it further...''

 I can hear the students praise.
 I reached out to the fallen student and caught him safely.

''Feng..... Are you okay?

 I looked at the student in my arms.
 Relivia, with her bright red hair and bright red face, was staring at me.

''What, is it you........''

What the hell! You don't have one!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Sorry.

"Oh, shit! You should do something about the stupid crows you brought in.

I'm sorry about that too. But don't worry about it.

 With that, I let go of Relivia's hand even though I was still in the hollow.

'Hey!' You! What...!

 At that time, when she screamed, Relivia--

 Pop! And bounced.
 He landed with his butt in the air and in a sitting position.

'Hey, what's this?'

 Lelivia reached out her hand.
 She pressed her hand on the part she was sitting on.

''Soft........ Could it be [Warding]?''

 That's right.
 A [Warding] has been put up around Chrome.
 Moreover, I made sure that it was safe to fall from the chrome.

 That's why, even if Relivia fell, no problems arose.

 I went to help, well, it was a reflex.

'There's no way I'm going to let you get on the chrome without a plan,'

Well, that's okay. ........But, wait a minute. Can [Warding] be softened like this?

 Lelivia tilted her head.

 Hou..........
 Have you noticed that different quality?
 As expected of the descendants of the brave.

 Hey, hey, let me explain it to you.

 I'm sure it's still difficult to understand.

"...ahhhhh!

 Then, suddenly, a cheer went up.

 The sea of clouds that had been going on for a long time disappeared and what appeared was a cobalt blue sea.

''Ha! Speaking of which, I was going to take this human to the Sow merchant country with me.''

 Finally, Chrome seems to remember his mission.
 He returns to normal speed and starts flying straight up.

 I guess even Chrome can remember things.
 Good grief.....

 I'm back in place.
 And what I see is a large city surrounded by the sea.
