Manowa Chapter 112

Chapter 112 - Let's Explore the Dragon Boat

A Dragon Boat was a boat used for travel in Zexiaharts that flew in the sky . For floating it used the Floating Stones from the Cigna Ruins where Kazane and Yumika first met in this world . It flew by using the dragon's flight magic, and for fine control man-made wings of Muscle Clay were used .

Its power was provided by a Power Stone, which was the same type of thing as a Dungeon Heart Orb, Dragon Heart, and Childstone, and Kazane's aim was a spare Power Stone (small) . The biggest obstacle to Kazane's Big Tatsuyos.h.i.+-kun plan was a lack of power, and a Power Stone would adequately supply it .

Even if she created Big Tatsuyos.h.i.+-kun right now it wouldn't be able to run for a long time using only Kazane's Magic Power, and she didn't possess a Childstone powerful enough for Big Tatsuyos.h.i.+-kun .

In fact, the problem was that she was unable to use her Magic Power together with a Childstone . Although it would certainly generate the same Magic Power as its operator, that only meant the Magic Power it generated was sufficiently pure to『subst.i.tute as the user's Magic Power,』and there would still be rejection if the owner tried to add in their own Magic Power . For example, she wouldn't be able to add her Magic Power to Tatsuyos.h.i.+-kun Dragoon after it was activated, but she instead needed to completely switch from using the Childstone to using her own Magic Power .

That problem was solved by a Power Stone (small), and therefore it was the item that Kazane wanted now .

「Well well . Wait for me . Power Stone~」

Kazane recklessly ran down the pa.s.sage with a revolting smile on her face . By the way, who was the one that decided to explore alone to be cautious? But such a modest girl was already dead . All that remained was a runaway train running to make her wish come true .

「Oops, it was around that corner . 」

Kazane said while going back and going around that corner, and she stood in front of a door . This area was securely locked, but that was meaningless to the Infinite Key . Kazane held the Infinite Key in the air in front of the door and unlocked it, and it started to open with clanging noises .

「Mm, it has quite the ambiance . 」

She surveyed the surroundings, which certainly gave the impression of being 1000 years old . But there were also places that were obviously recently looked after . The mysterious being that did that was a small disk-shaped object scuttering around near Kazane's feet . This was the legacy of the ancient civilization which supposedly existed on the Ishtaria continent, and it was a kind of machine puppet .

(If I had forcibly entered I probably would have been attacked)

However, although Kazane used the Infinite Key, she wasn't attacked because that mimicked the regular procedure .

「So then, this is it?」

Kazane ignored the 1 meter wide Power Orb installed in the center of the reactor and took one of the soccer-ball sized Power Orbs placed next to it . Kazane thought that it would be fine since there were still four spares remaining, and without touching anything else she walked away while putting the Power Orb in her Item Box . The disk pa.s.sed by Kazane .

After that Kazane searched the other rooms, but she didn't find anything outstanding . She didn't find any weapons or armor, but she obtained one Floating Stone set aside as a spare and enough Muscle Clay for one Hippomaru-kun .

She peeked inside the c.o.c.kpit but didn't touch anything, and then she returned to the deck the way she came .

「Is that, Ka, Kazane?」

After she reached the deck Kazane undid her stealth Skills and noticed Minaka was there . It seemed she didn't notice her scent earlier because she was concentrating on not glancing toward the ground .

「Minaksan?」

Kazane could sense a thick fragrance coming from Minaka .

Minaka's face was flushed, her breathing was rough, and her voice was shrill . Her clothes were disordered, and the skin of her slightly exposed shoulder was dyed red from excitement . The beads of sweat only emphasized the obscenity of her skin .

「Eh, uh, eh」

Kazane's face couldn't help turning red after seeing Minaka . Kazane was a woman, but she was still shaken by Minaka's dangerous allure . But the bigger problem was the woman beside her .

「Oh, isn't that Kazane?」

It was Louise Cancer herself .

「Hyan, Onee-sama, don't separate suddenly . 」

Louise separated her hand from Minaka's shoulder to wave and say「Hi~」to Kazane and leaned coquettishly into Minaka . Even just that contact slightly intoxicated Minaka and she writhed . It was an extremely seductive appearance . It seemed her entire body was intensely sensitive .

「Uhh, what are you doing?」

Kazane asked with an expression that showed she had no idea why she said that . Minaka started rubbing her groin against Louise, but Louise said「Didn't I say it would only be a ma.s.sage?」and slapped Minaka's pink bottom . A s.e.xy「hguu」came from Minaka .

「Ma.s.sage?」

Kazane said doubtfully .

「Hey, such a thing shouldn't be done to a still young child . So it's only a wholesome evil spirit exterminating ma.s.sage . 」

So saying Louise rubbed Minaka's body . Minaka's「huu, a, aaan」cries were awfully obscene, but from what she saw it was certainly only an ordinary ma.s.sage .

「In the first place . A human being that claims to be a warrior shouldn't be naive and believe a devil's sweet words . 」

「Aaaaaa, an . I'm sorry Onee-sama . I, wanted to become stronger . An, aan!」

Strange . If it was only a shoulder ma.s.sage why was she making such a face? That Minaka with long black hair that seemed to embody the virtue of Yamato Nades.h.i.+ko had drool spilling down her face . Furthermore, Louise hadn't said her piece yet .

「Hold on, peace, peace . If you're so spirited I can't appeal to Kazane . 」

「Fu, fuwai . 」

This woman had the nerve to say peace .

「Err, so what's the goal of doing this?」

「Err, so what's the goal of doing this?」

To Kazane's question Louise shrugged and responded .

「Somehow this child managed to get herself possessed by an incubus . Even though contracting with an incubus to become stronger like she claimed is pointless . 」

「Such… . . a… . . thing . . . . . ua」

「Oh, are you still saying that?」

When Louise suddenly put her strength into it Minaka could only gasp . Right now she was only ma.s.saging her shoulders, so why?

「The incubus was trying to subordinate her soul, so by giving her more powerful pleasure I'm fixing the subordination of her consciousness . If I were a devil I would have already stolen your soul . All right, some other customers are begging for a visit . 」

So saying Louise started ma.s.saging Minaka's limbs . A pink scream resounded .

「Umm, then just tell me the result later . 」

After Kazane's remark Louise grinned broadly and nodded .

「Then, I'll be going . 」

「Wait, wait a moment . If any more is done I'll . . . . 」

Minaka reached out and raised her voice to Kazane as she tried to leave, but when Louise murmured in her ear「Do you want me to stop?」Minaka looked at Louise with a befuddled expression, then while blus.h.i.+ng she closed her eyes that were shedding large teardrops, then shook her head and said「No way . 」And so resigned she slowly lowered her raised hand .

Again, there was no metaphor for what she was doing, it was an ordinary ma.s.sage . Just to be clear it will be written again . It was only a ma.s.sage .

And while deciding to never ask Louise for a ma.s.sage Kazane went back to the carriage . The men in the surroundings seemed to be . . . distressed due to Minaka's reverberating voice and unable to sleep, and Kazane witnessed many people with circles under their eyes and dazed expressions the next morning .

◎ Dragon Boat Deck - Morning

「Fuaa」

Kazane was awakened by Jinrai after his early morning training, then she went out to the deck .

「If you don't wake up properly you'll fall down . 」

Jinrai warned, looking worried . Kazane answered「yes」and slapped her cheeks .

「Aren't we arriving at Resurrect City at noon today?」

「Aren't we arriving at Resurrect City at noon today?」

「That's right . Well, I woke you up now because something interesting can be seen near here . 」

Jinrai said .

「Something interesting?」

Kazane said and looked outside the Dragon Boat . She could see mountains and plains, and far away a sea could be seen . It seemed they had already left the Kingdom of Mins.h.i.+ana and pa.s.sed through two more countries .

「Are there huge ruins somewhere?」

「Well, that's not wrong . Look, over there . 」

Jinrai pointed his finger at a ma.s.s of clouds . Lightning flashes could be seen .

「Thundercloud?」

Kazane said doubtfully, but since something that looked like a building could be seen in the cloud she activated the Circlet of Wisdom's remote viewing and looked in that direction . After that several buildings could be seen there .

「There are buildings . Probably floating? Is it an island?」

Kazane gradually began to recognize its ident.i.ty as she viewed the situation . The island with those buildings was an unusual floating island in this world .

「They call it the Elsta Floating Kingdom . Well, it's a kingdom in name only . Only a few people who have a way to fly through the sky can get there, so it's a mysterious place that is mostly unexplored by humans . 」

「It's a place that tickles the adventurous spirit . . . 」

Jinrai nodded to Kazane's words .

(Can I . . . go there?)

Kazane thought . It was doubtful she could reach it with the spell Fly, but if she turned into a dragon it should be possible to bring the entire party .

「Going there has been my dream ever since I was a young child . 」

Jinrai spoke with a distant look . The Elsta Floating Kingdom could be seen from Jinrai's hometown in Hyvern . I looked at the Elsta Floating Kingdom when I was a child and said someday… . Jinrai thought, and he was still thinking that .

In fact, that was what motivated many people to become dragon knights, but dragon knight was a state managed profession, and doing whatever one pleased with a dragon wasn't allowed . Therefore one of the only ways to reach that place was to ask a free dragon for a ride . However, the level of the flying monsters in the area was high, and the monsters in the Floating Kingdom were also generally strong . So it was a place that was mostly unchallenged by people .

「Is that so? Then shall we check it out on the way back?」

「Can I really ask that?」

「Can I really ask that?」

Jinrai said with a face full of antic.i.p.ation . With that level of antic.i.p.ation there's no way I could refuse going there . . . Kazane thought as she nodded .

(Mmm . But isn't that the birdman tribes' floating island?)

A floating island created by the birdman tribes that had wings on their backs . The birdman tribes had mostly died out in Zexiahart's time, so there should be few remaining birdmen . From her recollection the island's position was further north, but it may have moved within the past 1000 years .
