Gather Divine Coins and Gacha! - Chapter 120

 "Welcome back... What's wrong?"

Elena tried to greet Seriana as she came in through the window, but she looked puzzled when she saw me being carried.

I must have had a tense expression.

Since we were flying at quite a height, it seems my screams didn't reach this far.

"Are you feeling cold? It was quite chilly up there."

"Allow me to take over. I'll warm him up."

Elena received me from Seriana's arms and warmed me with magic.

So this combined with airflow becomes magic like a dryer I usually use... I wasn't making that face just because I was cold, but it's nice to be warm.

"So, how was it? I lost sight of you midway, but you toured the capital, didn't you?"

"It wasn't bad to see it with my own eyes instead of relying on maps. This should make my 'Area Recognition' function more accurately."

I see... There was a reason behind it after all. She wasn't just a speed freak.

"Will you continue to use it in the future?"

"I don't think so. It's too vulnerable. Sera alone won't be able to protect me, right?"

"That's right. Even with the young lady's protection, there's no guarantee that no one will exploit it as a weakness. It's probably best to stop using it."

Good... It seems she won't do it anymore.

"yawn... "

Feeling relieved and warmed up, I'm getting sleepy.

It's already late, and I want to sleep soon.

"It's late already. You can go to sleep. I still have things to do, so I'll use 'Hideout,' okay?"

"Okay."

Today has been quite eventful, and I'm exhausted at the end of it all.

Time to sleep!

The Knight Order Training Ground within the Royal Castle.

When I came to verify the "Scarlet Bee's Sting" before, there were still some people around, but now it's just past 10 in the morning. Perhaps because the morning tasks haven't finished yet, apart from us, there's no one else in sight.

Soldiers stand at the entrance to the training ground, but that's all.

By the way, today's main targets, Jighart and Fiora, are accompanying me under the guise of being my guards and receiving magical instruction.

In this deserted training ground, Alex's roar echoes as a prelude.

It seems the "Furious Horn" activates by covering the hand with the equipped device and shouting loudly, targeting allies within hearing range.

...I can't use this. It's not compatible with my style of covert operations, trying to avoid being noticed as much as possible. Well, but I'd like to try something like shouting "Charge!!" from the rear and attacking from the air...

As I contemplate such things, Alex returns, apparently done with the verification.

"Are you finished already?"

"Yeah. I've grasped how to activate it for now. I'll try it out a few times in the dungeon before returning to Zelkis."

Well, in a place where there are no enemies, it's hard to feel any effect.

"Hmm, I see. Then, it's my turn next. Here you go, Jig."

I hand the "Dragon's Lung" that was hanging around my neck to Jighart.

"Ah! Let me use it."

Jighart receives it and hangs it around his neck.

It seems like his voice is resonating more, not just my imagination.

The "Dragon's Lung" seems to be related to magic, but since I still can't use magic, I haven't activated it yet, in case I can't handle it if something happens.

I wonder what it will be like when it's activated?

I let out a sigh and it's clear that it's activated.

It's obvious at first glance.

"Wow..."

From the side, something resembling red patterns emerges around his mouth.

Since it's also around his neck, it's probably coming from the "Dragon's Lung."

"Jig, look this way."

His position only shows his profile, so I ask him to face me... it's ominous.

Flames are creeping up from his chest.

"I see..."

Fiora murmured as she looked at Jighart, who was facing them.

The method of inscribing magic circles directly onto his body was probably inspired by his appearance.

It looks somewhat similar.

"Jig, how is it? Do you feel any different?"

Jighart, looking puzzled at our reactions, perhaps because he can't see himself, was asked by Fiora as she showed him a mirror.

"Well, nothing seems different. Just in appearance?"

"Are you sure? Maybe you'll notice if you try something?"

"Yeah, maybe. Can you two step back a bit?"

He gestured with his hand to move back.

Looks like he's about to use magic!
