"Thank you for saving my life in such a dangerous situation, my name is Maeleen Kazatia.

　A soaking wet woman thanks us with a salute.
　She was the captain of the Vertino fleet, which had been chased by the Megalo Whale just a few minutes ago.

　We had rescued the girls from a ship that had capsized after being unlucky enough to be struck by a mysterious large wave, and we had parked the ship at the end of the seaway to discuss the matter.

　Oh, I was responsible for retrieving Vertino's ship, so she's fine. It was a little broken, but I heard it will be fine after we fix it, so we're good to go.
　Yeah, compared to getting wiped out, it's not much more than a little capsized and soaked, but it's not much damage at all!

'My name is Vern Doobag!　Commander of the Rosewood Domestic Grand Sea Order and captain of the state-of-the-art battleship Goodruiser!

　Mr. Byrne introduces himself in exactly the same way as he greeted me one day. Maybe he likes it.

You are from Rosewood, aren't you? It's nothing short of brilliant that you were able to fight off that unorthodox monster.

No, no, no, I didn't do much. I just gave them orders. It's all thanks to the good work of my men.

How humble...

　Great, it's established even though the conversation is not engaging.

'Here you go, ladies and gentlemen, and please wipe yourself down with this.

　By holding out a towel to the conversation, which is derailing the conversation to no end, the XO enters the conversation.

'This is not going to go away,'

By the way, Captain, we'd better get to the point.

Oh, that's right.

The main thing...?

　Thanks to the XO's change of trajectory, Mr. Byrne reminded me of his original purpose.

''Yes, the reason we came to the mouth of the river is to investigate the demon I mentioned earlier.

''Do you know anything about that monster!

　Knowing that we had come to find out about the Megalo Whale, Mayleen changed her blood and asked Mr. Byrne to explain.

''Very well. As for us, we were hoping to have a detailed discussion with the people of Vertino regarding the investigation of the demon.

'Thank goodness for that. As for us, that demon has been bothering us.

''Oh, oh?!''

　When Maylene-san smiled and shook Byrne's hand, Byrne's face was understandably red and disconcerted.
　It's a very good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
　That's right, Mr. Byrne's type is s*xy. Yes, it's rather unimportant information.
　Well, just like that, we were going to go to the country of Vertino.

　◆.


So we're going to wait for Mr. Byrne and his team to finish their meeting.

　Mr. Byrne and the people of Vertino went to the castle of this country for a conference.
　Because Vertino is a seaside country, the capital is also built by the seaside, and it is located not far from the mouth of the river.
　But we are commoners, so we can't go with Mr. Byrne and the others.
　Originally we were going to stay on the boat with the other sailors, but Maillen has arranged to let us use her villa.

'She saved our lives, you know. I'm sorry that we can only repay you for something as small as this.

　And then he rented me a gorgeous villa for a pawn.
　It's a villa with servants and a private beach........

'Whoa!　That's awesome!



'You can't tell me that we are the cause of the ship capsizing, either.

　To the frolicking Jairo-kun, Liliera-san and Mina-san are pale with astonishment and guilt.
　It's okay, it's Megalo Whale that's bad. So........there's a chance!

Anyway, it's nice to be able to stay on land. I'm tired of traveling by boat all the time, after all.

　Oh, I can certainly understand that.
　When I went to save the continent across the sea in my previous life, I was relieved to be on land.
　When I returned home, I thought I'd rather be a native of this continent than cross this ocean again.

'Well then, let's go to the town of Vertino!

Yes, stop.

　I excitedly grab Megri by the scruff of the neck and capture him as he's about to head to the royal capital of Vertino.

'Let me go!　King's Landing will flee!

I won't run away. But there's something else you're going to have to learn.

"'That you want me to remember?'

　Everyone's eyes are drawn to me.

'Yeah, I want everyone to learn some flying magic.

　Yes, since I had the time to do so, I decided to teach everyone the flying magic that Liliella had been requesting for some time now.

'Seriously?　We're going to be able to fly just like my brother?

Depends on the training.

　When they heard that they were going to learn flight magic, everyone turned serious.

''It would certainly be useful if we could learn it. No matter what kind of place you're in, you'll be able to ignore the problems of the terrain.

''Yes, I think flying magic will be especially important for us to carry out this request. It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

''Yes, I think that being able to reach your destination quickly as a healer is a great advantage. You'll need to be careful not to use too much magic power to move though.

'Just learn quickly and go to King's Landing!

　Only Mr. Meghri is very slow.

Now we're going to train in flying magic, so everyone get dressed in this and gather on the beach.

" " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " "

　You're not going to be able to do that.

So, we will now begin training in flying magic.

　I announce the start of the training to everyone gathered here.

''Wait a minute. But first, I want to ask you something.

What is it, Miss Liliella?

Not a "what the hell"!　What's with the training wheels!　You have almost no fabric!

'What?　It's all there.

　Liliella and her friends were wearing the swimsuits I had prepared for them.
　We men are wearing normal pants type. Rieliela and the other women are wearing bikini type swimwear.

　It's a good thing I learned how to make clothes in my past life for when I have to live in a survival situation.
　I'm glad I prepared for this so that I could practice my flying magic if I ever came to the seaside country.
　This time we are not in a survival environment, so it's a good thing we were able to prepare the materials in advance.

It's not underwear!　It's not a training outfit at all!

"Lex's s*x...

　For some reason, the women are strangely shy.
　I wonder if they're all from landlocked countries and don't know what a swimsuit is?

Well, it's a nice sight, isn't it?

No, I mean, it's a little too much for me, but...

　While Jairo-kun smiles with Nimanima, Norbu-san turns bright red and looks down.
　Oh, my nose is bleeding.

'It's not underwear, it's a swimsuit. This is an outfit for playing and activities at the water's edge. It's made of materials that are properly made of water-resistant demons.

　Yes, if we are going to train in the sea, we need a swimsuit after all.
　By the way, I didn't know everyone's size, so it's a type of swimsuit with a string to adjust the length.

''Why would water be involved in the training of flight magic!

Of course, we need it to fly.

I want a good explanation!

　Yeah, I guess so. Explanations are important.
　Before we start training, we need to make sure we know what to do if we don't succeed.

"Look, everyone, flying magic is flying magic. But it's also a very dangerous spell.

Is it dangerous to just fly?

　Mr. Norbu raises his hand and questions it.

'Exactly. Everyone should think about it. Humans don't have feathers like birds do. So by nature, humans can't fly.

　Everyone nodded in agreement with my words.

''And this time, the purpose of the training is to use magic to force a person who can't fly to fly. So far so good?

""Good..."

Then we'll move on. Suppose we continue our training and actually get to fly.

""Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah."

'But what happens to a human if the next momentary control fails and they fall to the ground?　Yes, Mr. Liliella.

'What?　Me?　Well depending on how high you are, you could die. Seriously injured at best?

''Yes, you're right. You might be able to endure some if you activate the body enhancement magic, but there is still a limit. And there's no guarantee that you can conveniently activate your body enhancement magic when you're in a panic.

　So I point to the ocean in front of me.

"So I'll be training in this ocean.

　That's when Mina finally realized the meaning of the swimsuit and raised her voice.

'I see, if you're on the water, you won't get hurt if you fall in!

　Still, if it's too high, though, you'll get hurt.

Yes, so it's a good swimsuit to get wet in.

""I see..."

　This is where I finally get a voice of approval for wearing a swimsuit.

'But why can't you wear a little more thickness?　I'm embarrassed to show a little too much skin.

The more cloth there is, the more water it absorbs and the easier it is to drown.

I don't care if I wear a bathing suit!
'I'm so embarrassed I'll learn and change quickly.

　Jairo-kun's voice sounded happy, or rather happy, and Megri-san's cheeks were red, but her gaze was still swimming as if she was curious about the royal capital.

''Then I'll start training in flight magic. There are many types of flight magic, but the important thing is the image that fits your attributes and aptitude.

What is aptitude?

　Mina-san actively asks me questions about the fact that it's a magic technology I don't know about.

'That's right. It's a good idea to have an image of yourself as the wind, or the wind wrapped around your body as you manipulate your flight magic. But if you are good at another attribute, you can't do the exact same image, for example, if you are good at earth magic, having an image of your body clad in earth won't make you feel like flying, right?

You mean you need to imagine that you can fly in your own way?

''Yes, and to top it off, the high-speed movement using the fire attribute enhancement that Gyro-kun seems to be using can be used for flight if you increase the power output.

Really?　I can fly now?

With the right amount of power.

Okay, I'll try it.

　As soon as he said it, Jairo-kun activated his body-enhancing magic, causing flames to erupt from behind him.

''Oooh!''

　Flames erupt from behind Jairo-kun's spirited body, and he floats up in the air softly.

''And it flew!''

　Everyone shouted in surprise, and with a puffing sound, Gyro-kun crashed down.

''Guh!''

Are you all right, Mr. Gyro?

　As I walked up to the fallen Gyro-kun, I saw him hunch over with an exhausted look on his face.

''What the hell, this is going to be exhausting as hell.

''Ah, you're releasing too much magical power for nothing. Someone who flies like you, Gyro, needs to narrow down where they put their power.

Squeeze?

'Yeah, don't let it all come out at once, just squeeze it small to build up the momentum. Like this.

　Saying that, I spewed a magical power of fire into the soles of my feet and soared into the sky.

''Since it will be difficult to control your posture at first, it might be a good idea to spew magic power from your hands like this as well to keep your balance.

　With that, he released flames from his palms and fingertips to change the balance of his body.

''Oh!　I can't believe we're flying like that!　Alright, I'll give it a shot once my magic is restored!

Hang in there.

　You're very motivated.

''Um, according to your explanation earlier, I'm good at defending the earth attribute, so I don't have a talent for flying?

　'What's the matter with you?' asks Mr. Norbu, looking shovel-headed and depressed.

'Don't worry. As I said before, what's important is the image that suits your aptitude. If you're a person with the earth attribute, I've heard it's best to use the image of an invisible ground in the sky.
The ground is invisible?

'Yes, instead of letting the magic cling to your body in order to fly, you create a force field of magic power under your feet and ride on it. Like this.

　And I jumped into the air and came to rest in the air on the scaffolding created by my magic power.

''Stopped in the air!

'Well, it's like this, the trick to flying magic is to figure out how to fly if you're going to fly and how to use your strongest attributes to fly.

So you're saying there's more than one kind of flying magic.

'Exactly. There are so many different types of flying magic that they say there are as many different types of magic as there are wizards. So you'll have to come up with your own way of flying.

Do you think you can handle it?

I'm just going to try!

　While Mina is unsure of herself, Megri is repeatedly jumping into the air with her body clothed in magic power, trying to fly in the sky anyway.

Also, when you fly, please do it facing the ocean! Just in case something happens, I'll catch it, but there's a danger of accidentally not being able to make it in time.

""I understand!"

　Yeah, yeah, lives are on the line, so everyone is serious in their responses.

　◆.

"Whoa!

　Gyro-kun jumped up into the sky, but his attitude control failed and he crashed into the ocean.
　He jumped up so fast that he plunged into the water with such force when he fell.

"Whoa!

　The output of the force field generated in the air was insufficient, and Mina stepped through the magic floor and fell.
　It was a bit like a mime, but fun.

''Ukyaah!''

　Megri-san failed to control the wind and spun around and fell into the sea.

'Ahhhhhh!'

　Mr. Norbu was slowly floating in the air, but when he started moving to fly forward, he couldn't maintain his buoyancy and plunged into the ocean.

'Awwww,'

　Liliera thought she could jump up and through the air pretty well, but she failed to turn and went straight into the ocean.

''Well, that's how it goes at first.

　No matter how many mistakes you make here, you don't have to worry about getting hurt, so good luck to everyone.

Squeak!

　In the midst of all this, a mofo mofo caught a fish that jumped up while running on the surface of the water.
　Then it starts eating the fish on the water, looking delicious.

　It looks like it's walking on the water, but in fact it's using flight magic, isn't it?
　It's a very deft way to fly as if you are running on the sea.

"d*mn, if he can do it, why can't I?

I mean, what kind of a creature is that really?

　Everyone threw a glance at Mohumov, who had mastered flight magic, and Mohumov noticed this and looked at everyone and grinned.

''Pkew.''

"!

Yarrow!　Now you're laughing through your nose!

　No, no, no, they're mofo, okay?

"You pity me for being a wizard, even though I'm an animal!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Calm down, Mina.

"God said. God said, "Thou shalt not be arrogant. I don't want you to be too sure of your abilities.

　Oh, even Mr. Norbu.

"...we'll go to King's Landing a little later. I'm getting serious now.

　Yeah, Megri-san, please get serious from the beginning.

''........''

　Oh, good. Liliera, you're very calm.

"I'm going to fake an accident and drag you into the sea.

　No!　You're not cool with this!

Let's do it, Oraaaaah!



　Well, if you're motivated to do it, that's good, right?

'Woo-hoo!　My swimsuit is flowing!

"Boo hoo!

'I'll go get it now. Also, Norbu-san, you can use your own recovery magic.

'Whoa!　I can't hold my posture well!

"Gyro, calm down. Reduce the power before you panic. That's the golden rule of accelerated magic. Just do it like this.

　I advise Gyro, who is accelerating so fast that he doesn't know which way he's facing now, to reduce power once.
　Then I fly at high speed with flames coming out from underneath my feet, and this time I reduce the power to just enough to maintain altitude without falling. I then let the flames come out of my palms to maintain my attitude at any angle or attitude.

''Hey.''

By the way, it's hard to maintain power.

'Mina, don't think about forcing yourself to maintain the same power output, first float up a little harder, then control your attitude as you glide. Here, do this.

　Mina, who is struggling to activate the jutsu in a stable manner, is taught gradual control.
　Once she accelerates, she stops accelerating there and glides with a film of wind under her body.
　As she glides, she only concentrates on controlling her posture.

'If you have a problem, we'll solve it one at a time.


Hey, that's it!　Aww.

'If you're that type, Norbu, try to imagine yourself lifting and carrying your body. It's like a big hand holding you. Like this.

I suggest to Mr. Norbu, who is having trouble moving, that he imagine someone else carrying him.
　I also imagine that I am a doll in someone else's hands, and I let my body float.
　Then the imaginary hand lifts up my body and moves it as if I were playing with dolls.

The trick is to feel like I have my own doll in my hands.

Well, well. Nuh-uh-uh.

'Megri, why don't you try not trying to control the wind and let it carry you around?　Here, let them lift you up from underneath like this.

　Megri was having a hard time controlling the wind, so I suggested an image of a freer wind that was more like her.
　I let the wind carry my body into the wind as if it were blowing up from under me.
　Then I manipulated the wind as if it lifted me up and carried me wherever it wanted to go.

'See, no matter what position you're in, the wind will lift and carry you, so you won't fall.'

'Kuu!　Whoa!　Abubu.

'Calm down, Liliella. Remember what we always do when we fly together. When you fly, you can take it more slowly. Imagine that your body is wrapped in the wind.

　My image of flying seemed to suit Liliella, who was dizzy in the air, so I held her hand and flew with her.

'Let's start by eliminating the part of you that makes you most anxious when you're flying the way you usually do,'

　And then it's about time for the sun to set....

'Yes!　I can fly!

Now all I need to do is pace myself for the long haul.

I've gotten used to it. It's hard to fly fast, but it makes for some subtle movements, like staying in the same place.

"Yes, I'm flying faster now. Now I can go to the capital in a flash!

'Oh, it's nice to be able to fly by myself. Now I won't have to rely on someone else's flying magic to keep me on my feet!

　Everyone is getting really good at this.

Yeah, so far so good.

　That'll give you a lot of leeway next time you have a problem!

It's just, there's one thing I'm not happy about.

Yeah, me too.

Maybe I do too.

Actually, I do.

Likewise. We had a lot of work to do.

　And people are staring at me for some reason.

"Uh, what's going on, guys?

""How is it that they can all fly the same way?

　Huh?　I feel like I've been complaining about it for some unreasonable reason!
