12-4 Journey to the Royal Capital (4)

Satou's here It seems stubborn people exist no matter the era of the world I respect people who live dirtily when it's ain order to avoid responsibility

◇

I release the spirit light that I have sealed

That line sounds like so said from the mouth of a chuunibyou patient, but I can't help it since it's the truth When I release the suppressed spirit light, spirits froather to me with dreadful speed

There's no need for me to hold back since only Mia and me have the Spirit Seer skill in this airship

"Satou?"

I nod at Mia who's asking uessedto ask us while panicking about so to do after hearing Mia who's started chanting a spell of spirit ic

"Geh, that spell is very bad Pochi, Taht if it keeps up!"

"I don't really understand, but let's hurry nodesu!"

"Agreement accepted~?"

Arisa dashes to the deck with Pochi and Tama on both flanks

"Nana and Lulu, I'm sorry, but please stay here and keep Karina-sa out to the deck"

"Yes, Master"

"U-um D-do we not need the Accelerated Cannon?"

"Un, theto end with Mia's e on the surface would be terrible if she uses the Accelerated Cannon

I tell so to Lulu who looks anxious, and then I go to the deck while carrying Mia with princess carry

I decided to pretend that I didn't hear Karina-sama who had her arms pinned behind her back by Lulu shouted "Release ely in high spirits are waiting for the Lance Beetles that are approaching from afar

It seems the birdkins unit that have been deployed earlier isn't for intercepting the Lance Beetles, they're going to suppress the tamers at the castle fort

That should be the correct decision considering the fighting force on the airship

"Co~?"

"They're sirls intercept the three cannon balls shot by the Cannon Toads flying between the Lance Beetles with a shuriken, a long toothpick, and a javelin

"Au, even though it hit"

"Le~ave the rest totoothpick thrown by Pochi was broken by the cannon ball due to the difference in mass

And then the fire balls shot by Arisa and several people with fire wands wrap the cannon ball up The cannon ball that's been scratched by Pochi's toothpick is scattered away by the fire balls

Fire wand can be shot just by supplying it with ic power, it's also faster than the normal spell since it doesn't need to be chant

The attack power is also relatively good, so there arewands than scrolls fro"

"Okkey~, doesn't seee everyone with my beautiful voice?"

"No, let's leave that for when the next opportunity arises--"

I ask Arisa to dowith the small fish Incidentally, I also instructed Tama do a Ninja errand Pochi and Liza are to protect us

Mia as chanting the spell with ut those conversations finally co Creation (Create Garuda)"

An artificial spirit that looks like a bird crown appears

It's a being of the same rank as the one that Aze-san had suic Power Transfer] to recover Mia who has lost ic power

"Ooh, what is that?"

"Is it a new enemy?!"

"Shield! Protect our friends!　■■■ Diamond Shield Activate!"

The Mithril explorers who are surprised with the sudden appearance of the artificial spirit have changed their aiize in a hurry

I nod to Mia who's looking at me and per Mia's words, Garuda spreads its wings in stillness while ignoring the aerodynas transfor and then they extend toward the Lance Beetles, attacking the and thin like threads and extend, piercing the Lance Beetles like it's wrapping them, and then cut them into sic that defeated the floor aretheht when the birdkin unit has arrived at the fort, an Ano Centipede breaks open the fort's gate fro itself

Unlike the tamed monsters earlier, this one isn't ta] status Just how did they bring it into the fort

"Mia"

"Nn"

Garuda who's received Mia's order attacks the Flying Centiped as quick as a bird of prey

The flying centipede that's preparing to attack the birdkins on the surrounding sway its wings and rise in the air in a swiht that e attack called 『Mystic Ray』 We should be fine, but it can be dangerous for the airship, so keep it fro Centipede I've made it like that since the source of information is the map

I'm fine with Mia, but we're in a situation where there are explorers around us

"Use it?"

"No, just use the golden feathers to tor about the trureater artificial spirits posses

In case of Garuda, it's a big-scale technique called [Te power, it's too showy so I refrained froicians who are chanting spells with all their her than the airship"

"Will do"

Garuda that howls in accordance to Mia's instruction stitches the Flying Centipede, stopping its track dead in the air

The Flying Centipede was shooting some suspicious serrated rays once in a while, but it never reached here even once since it rapped in Garuda's golden feathers
