Gather Divine Coins and Gacha! - Chapter 119

 "Are you interested?"

"Well, yes. I wonder why it floats?"

We were tidying up the tools and having tea together, but Selyana's gaze was fixed on the 'levitating orb.'

Come to think of it, since I often ride it even in the 'hideout,' there aren't many chances to see just the 'levitating orb.'

If I were to forcibly recall, maybe it was when I was exhausted after fighting a demon?

"Wanna try using it?"

"Oh, thank you."

She looks like she wants to try it... Though it's my lifeline, well, I guess it'll be fine. They wouldn't suddenly dispose of me now, would they?

"Could you lend me a hand?"

"Sure."

It feels odd for me to be on the user's side, but I handed the dowry to Selyana.

I see... So this is how it works. You can sense the opponent's movements through the item. Just grip it, huh?

It should work now.

"Should I sit?"

"Yeah. Sit down and just think about floating. Then, it'll float. After that, it should move roughly as you wish?"

"Oh, really?"

As soon as she hears the explanation, Selyana tries it out eagerly. She floats up with a quick movement and starts moving around the room.

So this is how it looks from the side... It moves silently, so it's no wonder it might be mistaken for a ghost or some other magical creature.

"Hey, I wonder, can this lift objects?"

While spinning around, Seriana listened intently.

"I could lift small objects, around 1-2 kilograms, but heavier ones were impossible," she said.

When I was practicing how to use it for the first time, I wondered if I could lift Makyō, but it was impossible.

Well, considering it can carry a human and still have that much mobility, expecting more might be...?

"Hold on a sec!"

"You could hold it, huh?"

Seriana, who had circled around behind me, lifted me up.

And then she kept moving as if nothing was wrong.

Huh...? That's odd.

"Is it okay if we go outside?"

"Huh? Umm... Is it safe?"

I should be attracting enough attention to have an escort, but is it really okay?

"I looked around, but there are no enemies. It's fine."

"Hmm..."

When I looked at Elena, she nodded.

So it's okay.

"Alright then, let's go."

◇

"Wait, wait, wait, this is scary, scary, scary!!"

My voice echoes as I cling onto Seriana, who is swiftly flying through the skies of the royal capital using her floating orb.

I thought she was going to leave me behind and go alone, but she ended up going outside through the window while still carrying me.

Well, that alone wouldn't be too bad, but as soon as we went outside, she immediately ascended.

We're even higher than the spires of the royal castle in the distance.

Must be over 200 meters, right?

I hope it's not 300 meters.

Sure, taking a safety margin might require this much altitude, but my highest record so far has been about 60 meters, and I didn't hesitate at all.

"The air is chilly up here, and the wind is strong," Seriana remarks casually, holding her hair blowing in the wind with one hand.

She's supporting me with one hand as I cling onto her, but she just did a somersault like that...

It's like bungee jumping without a cord, or riding a roller coaster without a safety bar...

Why is Seriana so calm?

I remember seeing in a past life that there were races sensitive to fear and races oblivious to it. Is that it?

But even though our hair and eye colors are different, we should be of the same race...

Is it because I have memories from my time as a Japanese?

"I suppose it's nothing much. Let's go back," Seriana says after flying around for a while and seeming satisfied, returning to the airspace above the mansion.

Perhaps those sudden changes in direction were due to hostile reactions?

At any rate, this should put an end to this roller coaster ride.

"Waaaaah..."

I never expected her to pull off a stunt like suddenly diving downwards right at the end...

Even with my eyes closed, I can vaguely sense the speed we're descending at from the wind pressure.

It must have been over 100 kilometers per hour.

Humans die when they fall from high places, you know?
