*Unedited. Might not wanna read this since it’s 2 in the morning and I’m tired… Thanks for reading~

Author's note: The manga version has been updates this week at young ace up-sama. By all means, read it and press the support b.u.t.ton!

Excluding Eve, we all came to the gigantic garden in the demon king castle.
It's to borrow a dragon, so we can arrive at the Dioral castle faster than Bullet.

Two green flying dragons are sleeping in the gigantic garden.
Their body length is around six metres.
These are the flying dragons that the dragon knight corps are proud of, the Tempest Wyverns.
The optimum monsters for transport, as they possess an ability to control the wind, can fly at high speeds, and can cover itself in a wind veil, erasing the air resistance to the limit, making the ride feel comfortable.
Nearby them, two dragon people with red skin were there.
They must be the dragon knights.

"I have been called on by demon king Eve-sama's orders. We are warriors of the crimson dragon tribe. I am called Yonai." (Yonai)
"Similarly, I am also a warrior of the crimson dragon tribe, and I am Inaba." (Inaba)

The two red skinned dragon people went on one knee and bowed. They are human sized, but their heads are completely dragon, and they have intensity.
The demon king's orders are absolute. So, they even follow orders like letting a human ride and fly.
I look at them with my jade eye.

"How polite. I'm the hero of【Healing】, Kearuga. Inaba, your right shoulder can't go up, can it. Isn't it inconvenient?" (Kearuga)

I talk to Inaba, who has the fiercer face among the two dragon people.

"I am amazed you realized it. Previously, I received a serious injury, and it still couldn't rise even after the injury healed. It is inconvenient, but it doesn't cause any problems when I handle the dragon. Please don't worry about it." (Inaba)
"I didn't ask it because of that. I'm a healing magician. I can fix it if you want." (Kearuga)

After hearing that, the man opens his eyes widely.
It's quite a common condition for a shoulder to not rise, but it limits various actions. He should want to fix it if possible.

"Are you sure!? Please treat me." (Inaba)
"We're going to be under your care after this, so I can at least do this much." (Kearuga)
"Thank you very much. Please, go ahead." (Inaba)

I smile sweetly at him, touch his shoulder with my hand, and use【Recovery Heal】.

"Try move it." (Kearuga)
"Ooou, this is. I can feel my shoulder. My body feels light. To think my shoulder that the healing magicians and doctors of my country gave up on was healed, I don't know how I can thank you." (Inaba)
"You can just show your grat.i.tude through work. Send us to our destination swiftly and safely." (Kearuga)
"Yes, of course. It was a task I didn't feel like doing, but I have gotten motivation all at once." (Inaba)

While breathing roughly from his nose, the crimson dragon tribe rotates his shoulder round and round.
He must be quite happy.
Setsuna, who is besides me, opens her mouth.

"Kearugsama, happy." (Setsuna)

Since Setsuna is giving me a look of respect, I nod.
I think about this from time to time, but even though Setsuna respects me so much, there are parts she doesn't see correctly.

… Obviously, I didn't just treat the crimson dragon tribe with good intentions behind it.
The first purpose is to ensure safety. I wanted to check their memories to see if they are going to betray us, while acting like they are following orders on the surface. I can read the memories of people I use【Recovery Heal】on. I was able to confirm that they don't plan on harming us.

And, there is one more reason. As far as I've seen with【Jade Eye】, they possess the ability to manipulate dragons. Demons all have the power to manipulate their particular monsters. Unlike that, they seem to have an ability called dragon knight.
I wanted to obtain the ability to manipulate dragons with【Imitation Heal】, since if by any chance they die, I might be able to manipulate the dragons with that ability.

Because of these two reasons, I used【Recovery Heal】on him.
He's foolishly honest, and I don't plan to explain my intentions to him, since there's no loss for him to think I'm a good person.

The people of the crimson dragon race each head to the dragon they're in charge of, and call us after installing the reins and saddle.
On the saddle, there are four seats, so it seems that three other people other than the pilot can ride it, as they have been combined.

"Kureha, Freya and Ellen, you guys go to the flying dragon over there, and Setsuna and Guren are with me." (Kearuga)

Since it's an air trip, it's hard to think there would be an attack, but it's better to be cautious.
I split the judgement power and fighting power as equally as possible.
The other team has the fighting power of the hero of the【Sword】, Kureha, the hero of【Magic】, Freya, and the former strategist Ellen, who is in charge of the brains.
Even if they're separated from me, those three should be able to live and link up with us.
Kureha, Freya, and Ellen all come up in front of me.

"I will go ahead, Kearuga." (Kureha)
"Taking separate actions from Kearugsama is lonely." (Freya)
"Kearugniisama, stay safe." (Ellen)
"You guys take care as well. In the worst case scenario, just move as we talked about yesterday." (Kearuga)

The three nod, and rode the dragon on the other side.
Now, we should go too.

"Setsuna, Guren, we're going." (Kearuga)
"Okay." (Setsuna)

Setsuna responded, but Guren didn't say anything.
And for some reason, she's not in her usual kitsune cub mode, but in her girl appearance.

"Guren, why aren't you a kitsune like always?" (Kearuga)
"In that appearance, Guren would easily be blown off. The sky is scary." (Guren)

Looking at her closely, her kitsune ears are flat, and the fur on her tail has shrivelled.
She seems to be quite scared of riding the flying dragon.

"If you're scared, just hold on to me. You won't get blown off as long as I don't let go, after all. Even if the dragon falls, I would be able to survive and save the people near me." (Kearuga)
"This is the first time goshujin-sama has been reliable! You definitely can't let go!" (Guren)

Guren firmly clung to my back.
It's hard to move, but this is my first time seeing Guren like this. It doesn't feel bad.

"Setsuna is a bit envious of Guren. Setsuna also wants to cling to Kearugsama." (Setsuna)
"Please endure that. In exchange, I'll give you plenty of love tonight." (Kearuga)
"Nn. Okay. Setsuna is looking forward to it." (Setsuna)

Us three ride the dragon.
After Inaba of the crimson dragon tribe pulled the reins, the dragon suddenly flew high in the sky, accelerating.
The surrounding scenery instantly disappeared behind me.
What speed.
So this is the world that dragons see.

"Kyaaaaaaaaaaa, scary. Gurenーisーfallーing." (Guren)

Guren is raising a scream behind me.

"Kearugsama, the scenery is very nice. And the wind feels comfortable too." (Setsuna)

Setsuna seems to be enjoying this scenery and wind. She's smiling while holding down her hair and wolf ears. We're going at this speed, so although the Tempest Wyvern is reducing the air resistance with a wind veil, we have our hands full with holding on right now, and we probably can't even open our mouths.
I'm glad they prepared a Tempest Wyvern for us.
I'm about to laugh from the contrastive appearances of Guren being frightened and Setsuna having fun.

"Guys, we should reach Buranikka in the blink of an eye at this speed. We can't experience something like this that many times, so let's enjoy it as much as we can!" (Kearuga)

Guren is silently putting power into the hands she's using to cling onto me, and Setsuna is raising a bit more of an excited voice than usual.
Like Setsuna, I'm also enjoying the scenery and wind.
Dragons are nice. I want to fly one myself someday.

We arrived at Buranikka by the evening. We were able to link up with Kureha and the others that went separately.
I heard dragons are fast, but it was beyond my expectations.
The crimson dragon tribe people are taking separate actions to hide the dragons in the forest. We've decided the union point for tomorrow, so we'll depart to Ra.n.a.litta early in the morning.
We should have gone much further than Bullet already.

"Kureha, did you enjoy the air trip?" (Kearuga)
"Yes, it was one of my best experiences. But just riding it is frustrating. I would like to obtain a trained dragon and fly to my heart's content." (Kureha)
"I agree. However, wouldn't it be difficult for a human?" (Kearuga)
"That isn't true. If I remember correctly, there is a dragon knight in the Ash Rahma republic. That person is most likely the only human dragon rider. But if there is a person like that, there is a possibility for us as well." (Kureha)
"That reminds me, there was wasn't there. I completely forgot about it." (Kearuga)

In the first world, there was a dragon knight among the three champions of the Dioral Kingdom.
His blood-lines were unknown, but a flying dragon was always next to him.
He was humanity's sole flying fighting power that could overwhelm the demon dragon knights from the skies.

In the first world, us heroes were helped by him multiple times. Transport, supply, seizing air superiority, and so on, he easily handled every possible job.
… For me to forget his existence, it seems I'm quite out of it.
If he is lending his power to Bullet, then the foundation of the plan is out of order. Arriving at the Dioral Kingdom faster than Bullet would be impossible.

No, thinking about it calmly, I shouldn't need to worry about that.
After all, just like Kureha said, the dragon knight is a warrior of the Ash Rahma republic.
He was invited to the Dioral Kingdom to be one of the three champions around two years before the subjugation of the demon king.
In other words, it's not going to happen until a bit more than a year in the future. There's no way he would be cooperating with the Dioral Kingdom by this point.

"It seems the dragon knight of the Ash Rahma republic is quite skilled with the sword as well. I would like to have a match with him someday." (Kureha)
"Don't do it, you're level 200 right now. Your statuses will be too different." (Kearuga)
"Now that you say it, that is true. Fufu, that is troubling. Without you as my opponent, I won't be able to properly have sword practice." (Kureha)

A rivalry of physical ability to some extent is needed to compete with ability. If their statuses are too different, they wouldn't be able to fight.
I'm probably the only person in the world that can properly cross swords with the current Kureha.

"If you're fine with me, then I can keep you company whenever. It's also a big plus for me to cross sword with you after all." (Kearuga)
"Yes please. Kearuga, you become stronger by crossing swords. I need to follow your example too." (Kureha)

We smile at each other.
That reminds me, what are Freya and Ellen doing? It's awfully quiet. Normally, they would have jumped at me and hugged me the moment we linked up.
I immediately understood the answer.
Both sisters are desperately holding in their vomit with pale faces.

"Kearugsama, I got dragon sickness." (Freya)
"Semicircular ca.n.a.ls, my semicircular ca.n.a.ls, they are worn out. Kearugniisama." (Ellen)

Although they were protected by the wind veil, they were flying through the sky at ultra high speed, and it did sway.
For these two that don't have high physical ability, it must have been quite severe.
From the fact that their clothes aren't dirty, it seems they were able to avoid vomiting in the sky.

"Come over here, I'll【Recovery Heal】you guys." (Kearuga)
"Thank you very much." (Freya)
"Kearugniisama, you somehow protected my pride as a girl!" (Ellen)

I quickly use【Recovery Heal】on the two.
With this, everyone has gathered.

"Everyone, let's go drink. Because of one thing after another, we couldn't enjoy good food and alcohol for a while. Let's enjoy the times we can enjoy with all our heart." (Kearuga)

I hear everyone's happy voices.
Now, let's quickly go to a tavern. It's been awhile since we went to Buranikka, so if we can, I would like to visit several of my favourite shops.
Dragons can't see in the dark, so although we are hurrying, flying at night is fatal, and either way, we won't advance any further today.
Exactly because it's a time like this, properly releasing the fatigue in our minds is necessary to show our real power.

… While I'm at it, I plan to gather information at the tavern.
How the general citizens think of demon king Ura, and I also want to know what changes have been born from Ura becoming the demon king.
