17-Something wrong with my second party member. 2



 Come on, Commodore Dragon Revenge Battle!
 I heard from Stella along the way, and it seems that the only skills that can be learned by leveling up are skills. I'm not going to be able to use the skill points to strengthen the magic I've learned, but to learn and use new magic, it seems there are two choices: learn it from someone else or be born with it. What a troublesome other world, I thought, but I didn't say it out loud.
 I've been told that Aria's verbal magic is innate. It's a good thing that you can't get away with it.
 It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to find out what's going on.

 I'm here. Take care of Stella.
 Nice to meet you!

 When we get there, me and Aria move behind Stella and push her little back.
 That plain (heya) that Aria and I screamed at just a few hours ago. When I look at the 'mountain' that Aria has raised, I can't help but laugh.

 'What are you grinning at? I feel like I'm being made fun of.''
 No, I didn't.

 Don't do it. Don't laugh.

 Wait, wait, wait! It's just that the mistress's celestial magic needs some time. And if they're scattered all over the place, they might miss a shot. It's a good idea to have a few of these dragons in one place.
 'Celestial magic! Awesome! I can't wait to see it!

 When I heard of celestial magic, I got really excited. I think I can even shoot a giga-slash now.

 ''Isn't it? You can't wait to see it, can you? Then go gather the monsters as fast as you can.
 Roger that, Stella! All right, let's go, Aria. Come on.

 I motivated myself to look at the celestial magic and called out to Aria, who still wouldn't move from behind Stella.

 ''No, I don't want to! One kakel is enough for a decoy! I don't want to be chased by those scary monsters!

 This guy. You didn't come along just to watch and get experience, did you? 

 'Two decoys are better than one, of course! Just get on with it.
 No!
 All right, all right. I understand why you're so scared. But you know what, Aria? You won't get any experience if you keep going like this.
 "...what? Is that so?

 I knew it. He thought he'd be on top of things.

 I'm sure he will.

 I don't know. Maybe if it was the same party, it would be in.

 Ummm... but...
 But that's not it. If you work hard, I'll buy you that food you just ate every day for a week.
 ! Kakeru really? You're going to buy me an ice clincher!
 Oh. So make it quick. Stella's gonna be waiting for you.
 Okay.

 Honestly, I'd like to eat too, and I'm sure my pocketbook can afford it for about 500 saris.
 Seeing that Aria had moved next to me, I said.

 ''Aria, I'm going to teach you the art of bait and switch.
 I don't want to know how to do that, sir.
 Well, don't say that. It's all about paying off the debt.
 ....

 Why do you look unhappy?

 'A good decoy, you know, runs that kind of speed where they can't seem to catch up to you. It's all about rushing your opponent.
 I know.
 "Sides.

 Me and Aria stepped into the Komomo Dragon's territory again.

 Under the sun shimmering blue sky.

 'Noaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Come on! Stella, hurry!
 'Kyahhhh! Kakeru, please help me! Please help!
 Don't tell me that!

 Me and Aria's screams were echoing.
 As we entered the Komomo Dragon's territory, me and Aria split off to the left and right, running in a circle.
 The plan is to lure the Komomo Dragons in their territory from left and right, and attract them to the center. It's not a problem since we're just running, but just to be sure, Aria and I aren't too far apart.
 There are six Commodore Dragons chasing me and five chasing Aria. If I defeat these guys, I'll have 550,000 sarees. And I have 100,000 sarees as a reward for completing the quest, so that's 650,000 sarees in total.
 Even if I pay off the debt, it will be enough to pay off the debt.

 KAKEL! KAKEL! I'm scared, I'm scared!
 Just run! If they catch up to you, you're done!
 'I know that, sir! Huh!
 'What? Oh, no! What are you laughing at? d*mn it! "Axel!

 I ran out to rescue Aria, who had fallen down at an important point, and I ran out to her.

 ''Whew. You made it just in time.
 'Aaaaahhhh! Eugh........not cool........Higg.
 ....

 This guy. You should be thanking me for saving you instead of whining about it.

 "f*ck you. Aria! Time is running out! Get out of there!
 Finally! I get it!

 I took off to walk through the center of the territory with Aria in my arms.

 ''Heavenly gate, open (gate open).

 Stella raised her right hand to the heavens, and with those words, the heavens split open.
 A red-burning celestial body slowly, slowly descends from the ripped, pitch-black space.

 'From this it shows is hope. From this I show you is despair. I point to the reason for all things. My mother, the stars! My Father, the Galaxy. I shall be the entity that holds the essence of it. It is the original particles that bind it. The stars twinkle here and now.

 An orange glow emitted from the celestial body enveloped Stella's body.
 The orange glow that Stella wore gradually converged on her right arm.

 'Scrape away! 'The Roar of the Sun God (Helios Roa)--!

 It became an orange beam as Stella swung her right hand down along with a fingertip that mimicked the shape of a pistol.

 The magic that Stella unleashed caught the swarm of Komomo dragons and hit the earth.
 The sound of the blast was so loud that it almost tore my eardrums and my body almost floated in the air, and it hit me and Aria.
