Flying Whale's Wonderful Life - I Who Has Fused With An Invincible Weapon From The Age Of Gods Will Build A City On My Back - Chapter 34

The city that we actually stepped into was much more beautiful than we saw from a distance.

The shape of the houses is different from the one in the Toyok.u.mo, and has a warm design made of bricks.

The color of the tiled roof is bright, such as reddish brown, pink or light blue.

The city, which spreads out in a circular shape, is separated from the outside and inside by a river, and can be accessed by a stone bridge.

Perhaps the outer area is a residential area, and the inner circle is a commercial area.

I felt like I was exploring the city.

The overall scale is quite large.

Did about 100,000 people live?

But there is no sign of humans.

When I entered a restaurant-like house for trial, it was cleared up without any dust, the tables and chairs were lined up without missing, and the flowers were alive.

Of course, you don't feel the smell of life because they don't have any humans, but you'll almost feel like they've been there.

"... It's creepy."

When I muttered, Ballaina nodded.

"Well, where did the inhabitants disappear?"

"It doesn't look like they're hiding somewhere."

"Then, the extinction prediction seems to be the correct answer."

"But I don't know the cause ..."

As I continued searching while thinking, an object came into my eyes.

"Hey, Balaina. Look at that."

I pointed to a human-sized spider robot.

It was busy repairing the walls of the house.

"That's a robot that is maintaining the city."

"Looks like it. They should be aware of our presence, but there is no response. It doesn't seem to have any security features."

"No robot seems to be in charge of security. The chimera that I just wiped out might be the only guardian."

We continue to explore the city with the help of electromagnetic checkers.

Along the way, I found several other spider-type robots, but none of them were hostile.

The strongest response of the electromagnetic wave checker inside the city is the clock tower in the square.

I and Balaina enter the clock tower and find a hidden door that leads to the bas.e.m.e.nt.

Down the stairs, there was a room similar to the control room of Toyok.u.mo.

And at the center is a control ball.

"It looks like this is the management console of Sky Island. Balaina I leave accessing it to you. If you can get administrative privileges, pull out what happened to the island."

"……OK"

I tilt my head to Balaina, who responds in a non-lifting voice.

"You are definitely strange, what's wrong?"

"No, no problem"

"If it's really okay, I'm not going to pursue it. It's too late after something goes wrong. If you have any concerns, tell me first."

"... It'll be fine ... maybe ..."

"What do you mean maybe ..."

"I'll start accessing it."

Balaina forcibly cuts off the conversation and tries to hit the forefoot with the control ball.

--It was at that time.

"Playtime is over."

An arrogant voice of a woman is heard from nowhere, and a gust of wind blows into the room.

The verdant green wind, which is so densely visible that it is so dark, swirls around the room and then swirls together like a tornado.

The wind began to form a humanoid, whereupon a woman was floating.

A woman with asagi-colored hair flowing down to her waist emits a huge amount of extraordinary magic.

Not a human. At a glance, I understood so.

First, while the woman was human, she also had the characteristics of a beast.

A pair of white wings growing from the head. A hand with a key bone and a stake like a bird's foot. White feathers that wrap around sensual limbs.

Those are the characteristics of the beastman. But it is not a beastman.

No way, is this woman...

When I have an unpleasant premonition, a woman distorts a beautifully-shaped face uncomfortably.

"While I was taking a little nap, I didn't expect such an insect to intrude my garden. Truly unpleasant."

A cold, inflected voice.

I don't even need to talk to her. This isn't someone who considers the opponent's circ.u.mstances.

Just like a storm itself, it's just a matter of rampage.

In other words, this guy is

"A pillar of the five great spirits separated from the phantom dragon Metatron," Aeria "which controls the wind?"

One side of the airbrush of Airia rises to my voice muttering.

"Oh you know of Metatron? Even though people today do not know I as Metatron's divide, they just wors.h.i.+p me as G.o.d."

Aerial glanced at me with a piercing eye.

"... I see. You look like a rabbit, but is it a human being inside? And you're the heir to the s.h.i.+p that came from that alien planet."

Apparently, the soul information itself was scrutinized.

After all, it is an opponent who can not be dealt in a straightforward fas.h.i.+on.

Well, what do I do?

There is no apparent hostility at this time, but it isn't weird for a battle to start at any moment.

According to data from Toyok.u.mo, Aeria is one of the five spirits that is particularly temperamental and elusive.

If it were to fight, this rabbit body would have no chance.

After all, your opponent is one of the pillars that manage this world.

Just looking at the fighting abilities, even Gabriel the Holy Dragon King can be treated as a baby.

Of course, you can win if I use Toyok.u.mo.

But I don't want to fight Aeria.

We want to avoid fighting whenever possible.

Well, when this rabbit body is gone, it doesn't hurt or itch, so let's go without any serious thoughts.

"Wind Spirit King Airia, is this sky island your garden? If so, I apologize for stepping in without any notice."

"That's right. This island is what humans have presented to Me. It is not a place where people can enter."

"... Present from human?"

"The man who was the custodian of this city was captivated by the beauty of Me. He killed all the inhabitants to try and stay with Me on this island."

"……what?"

He killed all the inhabitants Just to live with Aeria?

How stupid! Did humans disappear from this island by such a boring reason?

"However, it is impossible for I to live with a low-lying man. The man's neck fell off immediately, so this is a garden only for I."

Saying so, Aeria laughs arrogantly.

This guy is more violent than information ...

It's troublesome to get involved anymore.

I'm sorry that I can't get Sky Island, I should leave this place without making any fuss

I really don't want to use force to take it.

"I understand you, Airia, the King of the Winds. We'll leave this empty island immediately.

"Don't you think you can escape? And you're trying to make the garden of Mine, yours. I can't just forgive you for it."

"If you look into my soul, you should know about the Toyok.u.mo. In the fight, you will not win.

When I declared head on, Airia disgustedly distorted her face and tongue.

"... Disappear from my sight. There will be no next time."

"I'm grateful for your generosity."

We've finished talking to Airia.

I turn my heels and try to leave this place.

But--

"Captain Kaito doesn't have to give up on Sky Island."

Saying so, Balaina glared at Aeria.

"Aeria, you are the one who have to leave this sky island."

"For me to leave? Rabbit your saying something funny"

Aeria smiles, but she must be terribly angry.

I was in a hurry, trying to stop the Balaina.

"Balaina! What are you talking about!Let's head back!"

But Balaina shook her head slowly.

"This Sky island was created by humans, and if so, should be managed by humans."

"No, but ..."

"It's almost suspicious to say that they've made a tribute. I guess you've probably bewitched the administrator and robbed this sky island? Isn't that so."

The anger of Aeria finally floods outside with the voluntary deduction of Balaina.

"Do you want to insult me?"

"Insult? I'm just telling you truth."

"Are you saying I fought them like a pitiful human!?"

"If so, can you swear to Metatron?"

"You~~~~~~!"

The broken air area creates a gust of wind in the room.

If this happens, the fight will no longer be unavoidable.

F*ck! This Balaina, stirring up trouble!

But things roll in directions that I didn't expect.

Aerial, who had deployed a magic square to release the wind magic, stopped moving just before it reached me, and for some reason turned back as if she was frightened.

"Aeria, I will say it one more time. Get out of here. Immediately."

Aeria bites her lips with a remorseful reluctance.

"... If I leave, will you forgive me?"

Forgive? What does it mean to forgive?

"If you swear you will never repeat the same mistake, I will."

"... I didn't bewitch him. That's the truth."

"But it's true that you didn't stop. It's no different from bewitching him.

"... Okay, I swear I won't repeat the same mistake."

Aeria's body turned into wind and flowed to the exit of the room.

Balaina puts her forefoot on the control ball, with me being amazed.

"... The renewal of administrative rights has been completed. Sky Island-" Takamagahara "will now be under Captain Kaito's control."

According to Balaina's words, the information of Sky Island flows into my consciousness.

Normally, it would be best to ask Balaina on how she was able to frighten Aeria.

However, a completely different word came out of my mouth.

"Balaina, who are you?"
