Chapter 173: Escape
Riding on Sedona's back and flying through the deep, deep hole
It was easy just to go up
But from the top of the hole, a huge amount of black sand flowed in, blocking our escape.
Over the next few days, we climbed only a short distance, passing the falling sand through the gaps in the walls.
I don't know how long it took
"Eleven years, four months, and four days by today's civilization standards."
The iron ball easily answered my sentimentality.
Thank you for not reading the air and giving me an accurate answer!
Sedona jumps out of the hole and looks down at the continent from the sky.
"How disgusting..."
Wince voices such impressions
The black sand had diminished considerably.
Instead, the ground has taken on an eerie yellow hue.
"I'm detecting large amounts of sulfur compounds. If we stay here for long, even in the sky, Master Sedona's life will be seriously affected. Please evacuate the area immediately."
"For now, let's fly north, Sedona!"
-Yes!-
There seems to be no problem with the direction due to the accurate support of the iron ball.
"I have a question for Shiro Edgeworth"
"What is it?"
At that time, the iron ball speaks
"Master Sedona named me Tekkyuu, what does that mean?"
"Iron ball?"
"………"
The iron ball is silent
"Master Sedona."
-What? I mean, give me directions-
"I refuse."
-Ha!?-
"Think of a name for me."
-What are you saying at a time like this!-
"If you don't think of a name for me, I will remain silent."
-Is Tekkyuu not good!-
"No, it's not good. Think~, think~"
Was this guy this kind of existence?
-Father, please!-
"Me?"
"I demand a good name"
Um, then
"Ginkei then."
(TN: ギンケイ, Lady Amherst's Pheasant.)
"What does that mean?"
"It's a bird's name. It's a good name if you serve a dragon and stay by its side, right?"
"……"
How is it? Is it no good?
"I'm worried because I don't have a bird named Ginkei in the database. I think it's fine."
Good.
By the way
If you write Ginkei in kanji
[Silver chicken] (銀鶏)
The iron ball is very shiny and...
I came up with the idea because it's noisy like a chicken
I'll keep that in my mind forever.
-------
We're flying north on Sedona
"Shiro-san! It's the sea!"
There was no such thing as a sandy beach.
Just a few feet of sheer cliffs.
Beneath it, the sea swirled violently.
-Let's keep going north!-
Sedona is about to pass through the sea.
"Not recommended"
Ginkei stops her.
I agree with Ginkei
"Sedona, let's get some rest."
-It's okay, I can still fly!-
That can't be true.
You're obviously pushing yourself too hard.
"We don't know how far the sea goes. You need to take a break."
-…I understand-
Wince puts Sedona on her lap when she returns to her human form.
"You're overreacting."
Sedona who said so fell asleep immediately
"There are no signs of life in the area. Rest assured."
"Thank God. Then let's think about what we're going to do."
"Understood. I'll show you the map of the last confirmed collapse of the continent."
Ginkei displays a map in the air
"By my estimation, the chances of Master Sedona flying back across the sea are zero."
"Is it too far?"
The central continent has been torn apart.
Our hometown of Berdreich has been swept away
"Yes. However, this is a case of flying directly from our current location. If we have a relay point, we will be able to return."
"Which air route is the safest?"
"This island would be the safest."
The location it specified was halfway between the island and Berdreich.
"It seems to be located south of Master's hometown."
"Wince, do you know what country it was in?"
I'm out of ideas.
"Maybe the Kingdom of Geldaria?"
"Reed juice?"
"Reed juice."
It's also stupid that it was remembered due to reed juice.
"...Let's go with that. Don't push Sedona again."
"Hold her a lot at night."
"As expected, I don't want to have s*x in the open air in a place like this, you know?"
"I wish there was an abandoned building somewhere."
I will not do it
Never
"If my functions were at their peak, I could have used full stealth mode."
I ain't gonna do it!
"What is that?"
See, Wince got interested!
"It's a feature that renders a given space completely unrecognizable, both visually and aurally. Dragons used to be known for mating in the open, so support terminals like ours have a variety of useful functions built in."
Dragons were also strange
