LIGHTNOVELONLINE Book 5: Chapter 5: Part2
Part 2
As I entered the ship Blaznir, Surara came over and said to me.
“Master-san! I’m collecting the items we received from the people of the royal capital in the ritual hall!”
“All right. Shall we go take a look?”
“Yes! Follow me!”
So, together with the bouncing Surara, we walked down the corridor and headed for the ritual hall.
There were many items there, and the number of items was increasing.
“Good job, good job!”
“I’ll carry it carefully!”
“Slime transport! We’ll leave the items there!”
The Helper Slimes came one after another and left behind items that had been given up by the people of the royal capital.
It could be an old stuffed animal or a rusty sword, all of which seemed to have some meaning to them.
Normally, people would have been reluctant to part with such items, but they were all so generous.
“Everyone expects so much from you, Master-san.”
“That’s very kind of them.”
If that’s the case, I’d like to respond to that feeling.
Now, how much more material do I need?
Thinking about this, I picked up an old stuffed animal and heard [Full Assist]‘s voice.
Trial calculation in progress──.
If you are thinking of more perfection, the more items you have in mind, the more ideal it is.
If possible, it might be best to reach out to the cities we have visited so far.
Okay, I get it.
Then, let’s go there now.
And while I’m at it, I could try out [Space-Time Domination] as well.
While I was thinking about that, Iris came to the ritual site.
“Ara, Kou, you’re back already. How did you do with the pieces of emptiness?”
“I got it safely. I just upgraded my coat with it.”
I spread the hem of my Fenrir Coat Void.
“Ara, I see that the color of the lining has changed a bit.”
“Yeah. …I’m going to go around a bit now and talk to some of the cities I’ve been to so far. And yes, Iris, you can come with me.”
“Of course. Well, let’s go talk to Lily and Leticia for a bit.”
“Are they both back?”
“Yes. They’re taking a break in the ship’s café.”
“Well, let’s go talk to them together, shall we? I’d like to share some information with them. You can come with me, too.”
“Yes! I’ll listen to what you have to say.”
So, I headed to the ship’s café with Iris and Surara.
There I found Leticia and Lily.
“Ara, Kou-sama, what a coincidence!”
“Thanks for your hard work. …Did it go well?”
“Yes. At any rate, I think we’re on the same playing field as Zogral.”
I answer and give a brief explanation of [Space-Time Domination].
“…That’s a tremendous power.”
Iris was the first to say so.
“You can fly and stop time. You’re like a god.”
“It’s amazing.”
Lily’s sparkling gaze turned to me.
No, even so, Lily has inherited the power of the God of War, and if you want to talk about god-like, she’s probably better than me.
Well, putting that aside──
I told them that I was going to go around to other cities and ask people to bring me items that were filled with their feelings.
“I’m going to call on them today and go around and collect them tomorrow. I may not be able to gather much in one day, but I need as much material as I can get.”
I doubt it. I am sure we will have a larger turnout than expected. Kou-sama, you are well-liked.
Leticia said with a giggle.
“Anyway, I am glad that we are on track to fight Zogral.”
“That being said, I should also thank all three of you for your support to the people of the royal capital. Thanks to you, we’ve collected a lot of memorable items.”
“No, no. I’m sure the person who has done the most is Milia, who isn’t here.”
“I think so, too.”
Lily nodded and said.
“She is now mobilizing all the adventurers and calling out to everyone in the city.”
“I’ll have to thank her later.”
“Yeah, you should.”
I nodded to Iris.
“By the way, what are Leticia and Lily going to do now? Do you want to go to another city together?”
“Well, what shall we do?”
Leticia looked at Iris and me alternately for some reason and said.
“What do you think, Lily-sama?”
“…I think I’ll stay here and rest. Plus, we have to deal with the people who are going to bring us their memorable items.”
“I see. Now, we will remain in the royal capital, so please enjoy your short trip with Iris-sama.”
“Well, it’s not that simple, though.”
The world’s survival is at stake, after all.
Even if we need some relaxation, this is no time to play around.
Anyway, now the schedule is set.
“Then, Iris. Shall we go?”
“Yes. Then, please take care of the rest.”
“Okay. Have a good trip.”
“See you later.”
“Good luck, Master-san and Iris-oneesan!”
So, I took Iris and headed up to the deck for a while.
“Where are we going first?”
“Fort Port, I guess.”
“Then we’re going to fly. I’ve got some flying potions in my pouch.”
“No, that’s not going to be enough.”
“Eh?”
“You see, the [Space-Time Domination] can be used on people other than myself.”
I answered, and then I reminded myself to activate the [Space-Time Domination].
Immediately after──
I had a strange sensation, as if my whole body was expanding.
The voice of [Full Assist] echoed in my mind.
I confirmed the activation of [Space-Time Domination].
Optimization of the perception by Kou Kousaka is performed.
Soon after, an image appeared in my mind that was just like looking down on myself from a bird’s eye view.
If I were to use a metaphor, it would be the third-person perspective of an open-world game.
At the same time, my own vision is also present, which is a bit confusing.
Well, I guess I’ll have to get used to it.
Anyway, now I can grasp the surrounding scenery without moving my head.
“Kou, what’s wrong?”
Iris, perhaps worried that I had fallen silent, called out to me.
“Ah, I’m sorry. I’m just taking a little time to get used to my skills.”
For now, let’s try [Spatial Manipulation] flight.
I’ve set the feeling of flight to the same one as the flying potion.
Irisnote Fafnir can also fly freely as long as it is within a radius of one hundred meters centered on Kou Kousaka.
As expected of [Full Assist], you’re very clever.
Immediately after, our bodies floated gently in the air.
“It’s amazing that I can fly even though I didn’t drink the flying potion.”
Iris said in amazement.
“Shall we go to Fort Port then?”
“Yeah. But it would take a lot of time to get there normally. I’ll use the “Divine Speed Blessing EX” for Iris and me.”
“Can you use it on me too?”
“As long as it’s within the range of [Space-Time Domination], it’s fine. I think it might be better if we back off at first.”
“Well, maybe I should ask you to escort me.”
Iris said and offered her right hand to me.
I grabbed her hand with my left hand and activated “Divine Speed Blessing EX,” targeting myself and Iris.
“Let’s go.”
“Yes.”
We soared and headed for the sky above the royal capital.
Zogral caught my attention at the edge of my vision.
The barriers still seem to be in place.
I activated [Auto Mapping] to check the direction of the Fort Port and headed in that direction while holding hands with Iris.
Because I activate “Divine Speed Blessing EX,” we move away from the royal capital in an instant.
I looked down and saw that we had already left the land and were now at sea.
“It’s amazing how fast we are going!”
Iris shouted excitedly.
“So, this is what Kou always felt, huh?”
“Well, I don’t usually move at this speed.”
I replied, turning my attention to my own magic power level.
Although I was activating “Divine Speed Blessing EX,” targeting not only myself but also Iris, the magic power consumed per second was less than one-tenth of the previous amount, probably thanks to [Space-Time Domination].
With this, it seems possible to keep it activated for an entire hour.
“Hey, do you mind if I try flying by myself?”
“Yes. I’ll assist you if it’s dangerous, so you can do whatever you want.”
I said that and slowly removed my hand from Iris.
“Kyaa!”
Iris lost her posture for a moment and grabbed onto my coat.
“I-I’m sorry.”
“No, it’s okay. I guess you were too hasty. What do you want to do now?”
“Wait a minute. I’ll try a little at a time.”
Iris then recovered her posture and removed her fingers from my coat.
“Oh, so it feels the same as when you fly normally?”
“Yeah. It’s just a little bit faster.”
“I don’t think it’s just a little bit.”
Iris giggled and began to wiggle and meander.
“Fufu, it’s pretty funny.”
“Just be careful not to get too far away from me, or you’ll lose the effect.”
“I’ll be fine. Eii.”
Iris begins to make a spinning, whirling motion.
She’s getting pretty excited.
I think this might be the first time I’ve seen her act in such an innocent way.
I let out a smile without realizing it.
