Contradictory Beast
"Remove everything on the deck!"
"Wyvern's landing preparations are complete!"
Staffs moving around in a hurry
"Light beacon!"
"Landing is clear!"
First, Sedona glides down to the deck.
"Whoa!"
However, she can not kill the momentum and gets entangled in the net stretched at the end
"Sedona-sama!"
"It's alright! More than that, Wyvern-san and the others!"
The whole crew pulls on the net.
The wyverns dive toward it at a considerable speed.
"Brace yourselveeess!"
----------------
Fortunately, both me and the wyverns were able to land with only minor injuries.
"Sedona. Your panicking won't change the situation."
"Yukikaze, you say so, but!"
"I know. That thing is dangerous."
-I see, so your name is Sedona-
Speaking of which, I didn't told them my name.
-Yeah, it's nice to meet you-
-Well, we have to do something about that before being acquainted-
That's right.
It's coming down from the volcano, heading for the sea.
"Yukikaze, what happens when it goes underwater?"
"There are four possible scenarios."
One.
It cools down and makes it possible for us to approach it.
Two.
It is swept away by the current and sinks again.
Three.
The sea boils over and all life around it dies.
Four.
The sea explodes
"Explosion? What's that!"
"When water becomes gas, it expands more than 1,500 times. What happens when that happens all at once underwater?"
"What is the range?"
"I don't know... but it won't come that far."
If any of that were to happen, all we could do is watch, which is frustrating.
-Sedona-
The wyvern talks to me
-What's wrong?-
-It's hungry. Probably-
I don't want to hear the rest of it.
Because it's heading south.
The continent of the empire.
-How much does it have to eat to be satisfied?-
-It's never being satisfied, it will eat forever-
"It's going into the sea!"
Hearing Yukikaze's words, I looked down at it.
Its red-hot legs touch the sea
"Eh?"
"Why? Why!"
-Ridiculous! Why would that happen!-
Everyone on the airship is surprised to see it
The place it passed through is definitely burned
The rock surface it stepped on became molten lava.
So there is no doubt that its red-hot body is terribly hot.
But,
"Is it... walking on the sea?"
"That's impossible! It's true that if it touches the surface of the water due to the high heat, it can float! But there is no way it would be buoyant enough to support that huge body!"
The wyvern answered.
-Sedona, look at its feet...-
-Feet?-
I saw it. I understood. But it was even more of a mystery.
"Why is the sea freezing..."
Yukikaze also saw that and understood. But she didn't seem to understand
"The surface of the sea freezes when its legs touch it? That's absurd!"
Even though the leg that touches the surface of the sea is red-hot.
But the sea froze and it started walking
-No! It's aiming at us!-
"Yukikaze, retreat!"
"Retreat! Full power!"
Lava is flying toward the airship as it begins to retreat!
"Hot!"
If the airship had not heeded the wyvern's warning, it would have crashed for sure!
The lava flying to the airship landed on the surface of the sea.
And a big column of water rises up.
"Is that the explosion of the sea?"
"That's right. Ordinarily, it's going to be like that. What the hell is that guy! What's going on with the laws of physics!"
A dragon's voice can be heard mixed with Sedona's complaints.
-……rts…-
It's not the voice of the wyverns near us
-Stomach, hurts…-
Those were certainly the words released by the thing walking on the surface of the sea.
