Chapter 47

"Is there a crater rock dragon in the crater of this mountain?"

I had arrived at the base of the large active volcano called Mount Galrat. Since the carriage could only go this far, we had to walk from here. However, Mount Galrat was a steep mountain. There was also the possibility of encountering monsters along the way, so reaching the summit would be quite challenging.

"Hey, Varak, can you tell me more specifically where Orobos is on this mountain?"

Even if we reached the summit, it would be a waste of effort if Orobos wasn't there. I wished I knew the exact location of Orobos.

"Yeah, Orobos is at the summit!" Varak stated firmly. So, it seems we do need to climb the mountain after all.

"Hey, can we climb this mountain by ourselves?"

I asked for the opinions of Closel and Varak.

"In that case, shall I fly and carry you?" Closel said, spreading her angel wings.

"Can you really do that?"

"Yes, I can."

I see, if Closel has angel wings, she can fly. I hadn't seen Closel fly much, so I had forgotten about this ability.

"But, it would be bad if other people saw us."

If it were revealed that I was using a demon, it would be a disaster. However, Closel looks like an angel, so maybe I could pass it off as using an angel? Hmm, I wonder.

"Then, I suggest we split up!" Varak raised her hand and proposed.

"What do you mean by splitting up?"

"Well, Varak will carry Norman-sama, and Closel will scout the area in spirit form. In spirit form, she shouldn't be visible to ordinary people."

I see. Only Varak would be in physical form, while Closel would scout in spirit form. The mountain doesn't seem to have many people, so Closel should be able to scout alone.

"But, I want to carry Norman-sama!"

"Varak knows where Orobos is. It would be more efficient for Varak to carry Norman-sama."

"You're right..."

Since we've come to an agreement, let's go with this plan.

"Can you carry me, Varak?"

Varak is a child shorter than me, so I'm worried if she can carry me.

"Even though I look this way, I'm a demon. I don't want to be underestimated."

Saying that, the materialized Varak spread her angel wings and lifted me in a princess carry. I can't really complain, but being carried in a princess carry is embarrassing.

"By the way, Closel usually doesn't have wings when she materializes."

Now, Varak is materialized with wings. I wondered about the difference.

"When materialized, the wings can be stored."

"Varak can do that too!"

These wings are quite convenient.

"Then, I'll go ahead and check if there are any people."

Closel flew into the sky. After checking the surroundings, she made a large circle with her hand from a distance, indicating it was safe.

"Let's go!"

Holding me in a princess carry, Varak spread her wings and ascended into the sky.

"Whoa!"

This is my first time flying. I was surprised by the new sensation.

"How does it feel to travel in the sky?"

"It feels good."

"Hehe... I thought so."

Actually, traveling in the sky isn't bad. The scenery is beautiful, and the wind feels great.

"I'm really grateful to Norman-sama."

"Huh? Really?"

I don't remember doing anything that deserves gratitude.

"About Closel. Since being summoned by Norman-sama, Closel has become much more lively. Before, she was rather gloomy."

"True..."

My first impression of Closel was that she was very dark. Now, that darkness is completely gone.

"Love can change a person's personality, I guess."

"Love? What do you mean?"

"Hehe, I won't tell you, Norman-sama."

"Whoa!"

Suddenly, Varak accelerated, and I couldn't help but cry out.

"...There doesn't seem to be anyone around."

I kept looking down to check for people, but there didn't seem to be any issues. Closel, who was ahead, also occasionally signaled that everything was fine, so it seems we're good to go.

We are currently 6th in the genre rankings, and this is our last chance to return to the cover.

I plan to update a bit more today.
