Let’s Fly

“Nooooooo!!!!!!!!!”

“Uwa, Uwa, Uwawawaaa!!”

Kazane's own and another girl's screams overlapped with each other.

“Yaaaaaaaaa!!!!!”

“Uwa! Wait! Don’t point your blade at me! Don’t come here!!”

“Aaaaa!!!”

“Calm down Yumika! It’s me! Kazane!”

“Uaaaa!! Eh?”

After hearing her name called, the hysteric girl who swings her short sword around finally meet Kazane’s eyes, who was continuously falling back and evading her attacks.

“Eh? Kaza…ne?”

“That’s right, it’s me. So please lower your weapon, okay?”

The girl with tears in her eyes, Yumika, doesn’t understand what has happened in front of her, she tilted her head.

“Eh? Eh?” and she looks at Kazane.

“Why are you here?”

“That’s my line though…”

Kazane feels relieved as Yumika finally put down her short sword.

“I thought the goblins were back.”

“If you really intent to perform an ambush, look ahead properly. That was dangerous.”

While complaining “Seriously!” Kazane laughs, and Yumika also starts to smile.

Perhaps because they meet a familiar face, they lose some of their tension. And then Kazane finally looks clearly at Yumika's figure.

“Leather armor, dagger, and a shield. It seems your equipments were prepared normally.”

“Now that you said it, are you coming here to suicide?”

Yumika looks at Kazane once more, and somewhat feeling at a loss while she asked back.

“No.”

Tank top and shorts. It’s as if she is going to mountain climb with only a pair of underpants, thought Yumika.

“Binding play?”

“I am not that M.”

I know what you want to say…Kazane thought, but she didn’t say anything. Savage play doesn’t suit her taste.

“When I woke up I am already in front of this ruin.”

While being amazed, Yumika's respond was only “Hah?”.

(Perhaps Yumika is the reason why there are a lot of goblins.)

As she found out that it might somehow be the gap of game mechanics, Kazane feels somewhat refreshed.

“Errm, wait a sec. Do you mean, you came here just now?”

While being confused with Kazane’s words, Yumika asked.

“That’s right. But it seems different for you.”

Dagger, leather armor, and a small shield as big as saucepan lid, also herbs sticking out from the rucksack at her back, it seems that they are medicinal plants. No matter how you see it, she must have prepared before coming here.

“I was here for a week already, errm, which means?”

"Dunno?" Kazane tilts her head.

“Well, if this is a dream then it would be possible.”

As she said that, Yumika's gaze towards Kazane turns into pity.

“What is it?”

“I was also thinking like that.”

Receiving that straight answer, Kazane groaned. If this is really a dream then Yumika’s words is nothing but nonsense, but even so…

(In any case, whether this is a dream or reality, there’s nothing we can do but to test it out)

With a change of mood, Kazane's thought returns to her first goal.

“Let’s wrap the small talk for later. When the door open, we must run."

“Can we?”

Yumika showed an amazed expressions.

“Right. Didn’t you enter with that thought in mind?”

“I was thinking of doing hit and run tactic in front of the door until all of them are annihilated.”

“…Uh uh.”

Are you part of the muscle brained faction? Kazane muttered in her heart.

According to the tutorial quest instructions, you should break them apart and kill them one by one, but there are players that gather goblins at the ruin and bulldoze through them until all of them are annihilated. Those kind of players gained the nickname of muscle brained faction, but of course Kazane is not a person who can’t read the mood and said it in front of her face.

“But when I saw the real thing I felt afraid. While I was thinking on how to escape, you came.”

“I see. Well that explains your state before.”

There’s no way she will win like that.

“Ugh.”

While she laughed from hearing Yumika’s groan, Kazane starts to walk into the ruin's interior.

(First, I need to…)

Inside was goblin’s dwelling. Walking the passage according to her memory, she reached her destination.

“The door is…unlocked”

“Wait, what is this place?”

Yumika who follows behind her, asks.

“You don’t know?”

“I didn’t enter this far when this was a game.”

Oh, so that’s why, Kazane consented.

To finish the quest in Signa Ruin you’ll only have to pick floating stone at the entrance. After fighting the goblin boss your vitality would be close to the bottom, that’s why players who has surplus energy and tried to sweep through the ruin were just a few in number. Since it’s a ruin far from town and there’s rarely any need to come here, this ruin is one of ruins that were easily forgotten.

“This place looks like Goblin’s Kitchen”

When the door opened, prickling smells of rotten meat can be felt.

“Uuh.”

Yumika grimaced.

Leaving Yumika behind, Kazane enters the room. Since the interior of the room is as disastrous as she thought, she could feel something in her stomach boils again.

(I have no time for this.)

But this time she managed to successfully holds her nausea, without paying attention to the source of the smell, she walks into the inner part.

“Yes, there is it!”

Then after she found her objective, she took what can be taken and she ran outside without so much so as to look aside.

“Fuah!”

Even though the outside is also humid, the inside is like a hell.

“Wait, don’t come out so suddenly, Kazane!”

With much vigor, Yumika raises her objection.

“Well it can’t be helped, who wants to stay in that kind of splatter house.”

Said Kazane while trying to put her breath in order.

“That bad?” …Kazane ignores her question (what is inside is not something that should be mentioned), and the spoil she held in her hand falls into the floor.

“Sword and spear?”

A dirty, long sword and a relatively new metal spear, and the other things are two black balls.

“Can you use this Yumika?”

“Yes?”

Kazane took the spear and gave it to Yumika.

“Uwa, heavy.”

Since the weight is far heavier than her own dagger, she sluggishly carries it.

“Even so, you seems to carry it just fine.”

“All my bonus stats goes to strength after all.”

As I thought, muscle brain… Kazane mutters in her heart.

“Well, if you can then use it. It won’t make much of a difference in battle potential if used by an amateur, but it should be better than a sword.”

“Since this place is narrow, I can’t swing it though.”

“Don’t swing it. Thrust it!”

Kazane instructs her.

“I know, I know.”

Yumika thrusts the spear, creating shuu shuu sounds.

(That’s right. She really can use it well.)

(So it’s because I leveled up. Perhaps I defeated the one at the entrance?)

Most likely because of panic, she didn’t notice the level up notification…while thinking like that, since she feels anxious about her magic power, she adds 1 bonus point and press the OK button.

[[Flying skill acquired]]

At the same time, she opens her spell acquisition window.

In automatic skill acquisition area, as long you meet the requirements you’ll learn that skill.

“How is it?”

“It’s a success.”

While answering Yumina who questioned from the back, she remember that they haven’t formed a party, and so she send a party invitation. Realizing that, Yumika opens her window and accepts it.

“Ah, yeah. Accepted.”

Now the window shows two statuses. One of it is Kazane’s and the other is displaying Tachiki Yumika.

“With this we can escape, right?.”

“Even so, my magic power might only be barely enough. Please be careful so that we won’t fall while landing.”

“Roger.”

After she listened to Yumika’s answer, Kazane nod,

“Skill: Fly. All party member.”

She starts it up with voice command.

“Uwaahh!”

“Th-this!”

Then the two rises up to the sky.
