Comet Dragon, breaking into the gravity field

However, unlike Chihaya Aine who was concerned about the clothes themselves, Takamatsu Deng was more curious about the meaning of the names marked next to them.

"What kind of clothes do you think would suit us, Naruse-kun?"

As the saying goes, "the drunkard's intention is not to drink", when the notebook was passed to her, Nagasaki Suyo just glanced at it casually and then turned her gaze to someone next to her who was playing with a cat.

"I don't know. I've never thought about this."

Ritsu Naruse tossed a pristine white pearl fresh from a pearl oyster to Kaname Rana as a toy. Watching the cat amusing itself on the cart, Ritsu Naruse, now in idle mode, responded to Nagasaki Suyo with a rather casual attitude.

Then, he saw someone with an unhappy expression.

On the other hand, although Shiina Riki took the notebook and admitted that the clothing designs on it were very beautiful, she did not care as much as Chihaya Aine.

"Wouldn't it be better if everyone chose the same thing?"

"Eh? That's too boring, isn't it?"

Apparently, there are some things that Shiina Tatsuki and Chihaya Aine will never agree on.

"Since they're all for protection, wouldn't it save more time to make the same style of armor instead of spending time making different styles?"

Faced with this stern statement, Chihaya Aine was speechless.

"Eh - doesn't this make me seem like I'm being unreasonable?" Holding the notebook in front of her, Chihaya Aine looked at Naruse Ritsu on the side, trying to seek his support.

Tilting his head, Naruse Ritsu suggested, "Why not just pick a suit that everyone likes?"

"Yes..."

After hearing Ritsu Narose's answer, Chihaya Aine, who had an idea, immediately looked through her notebook excitedly, and kept asking other people to discuss it.

Soon, they made a decision.

"A Wind Dragon suit that's a mix of the Alpha and Beta models... I see."

The blue and white color combination gives people a fresh and bright feeling, and the leather that looks very soft dilutes the heaviness of the metal armor itself.

The cloak on the back is both handsome and beautiful, and paired with the wing-shaped headdress and shoulder ornaments - this set gives people the feeling of an elf in a fantasy story.

After mentally estimating the materials needed to make a five-person set of equipment, Ritsu Narose nodded.

After dealing with this matter, everyone continued on their way. Soon, they stood in front of the rope that served as a transfer point.

The whistling cold wind kept blowing past her. Looking at the other side of the river which looked like a black dot in the distance, Chihaya Aine felt her calves begin to tremble.

"Can't we...take another route?" She forced a smile and made a final struggle.

“If you’re really scared, Aine can just close your eyes.”

"No, no, no! This isn't a problem that can be solved by just closing your eyes, right?"

Waving her hands hurriedly, Chihaya Aine racked her brains to find a way to persuade Ritsu Naruse.

"There's only a bare rope here. How on earth are we supposed to get through?"

Upon hearing this, Ritsu Narose launched the hook on his left arm as if to demonstrate, and firmly fixed it on the rope.

"That's it—"

Before he could finish his words, the automatically triggered rope started to move, dragging Ritsu Narushe who was hooked on it away.

As they watched Ritsu Narose gradually move away and almost turn into a black dot, everyone present fell silent at the same time.

"Where did he get this comedian from..." Shiina Riki sighed and held his forehead. The tension in his heart had been completely dispelled by the freshness brought by this humorous operation.

"Here I come." Yao Lena, who had been sitting in the cart, suddenly said.

Then they saw Ritsu Narose slowly returning here from the air as if he was wearing a jet pack.

Seeing them look like they have seen a ghost, Naruse Ritsu also looked a little confused: "Have you forgotten that I have wings? They are not just for looks."

"But generally speaking..." Chihaya Aine looked at the gun wings behind him that were still flashing a faint red light, and said hesitantly: "Isn't that how wings are used?"

"Because I'm an ancient dragon, it's normal to be a little weird."

Naruse Ritsu didn't know how to explain his wings. In his eyes, this innate knowledge was not much different from how humans learned to breathe.

Without further ado, Ritsu Narose began explaining how to cross the chasm before them. However, practical demonstrations were easier to understand than verbal explanations.

After saying that, Ritsu Naruse hugged the cart beside him, including Rakuna Kaname sitting inside, to his chest, and then took off on the spot.

When he came back from the other side, he saw Chihaya Aine looking at him expressionlessly.

"So... does this have something to do with that hook on Naruse-kun's hand?"

"It doesn't matter."

"Then why did you deliberately scare me before?"

"Because I forgot I could actually fly."

"How awful!"

As if in anger, Chihaya Aine quickly walked up to Ritsu Narose and spread out her arms generously.

"……What are you doing?"

"Aren't you going to carry us over one by one?"

Seeing Chihaya Aine's determined look, he couldn't say "I just want to carry you over."

With no other choice, Ritsu Naruse had to adopt a relatively less intimate posture to carry Chihaya Aine to the other side.

"So, why are you shy again now..."

In mid-air, looking at the pink-haired girl he was holding horizontally in front of him, with her ears red and her face buried in his chest, Ritsu Narose was speechless.

63. The mythical beast Qilin is very shy

As Takamatsu Touma and Nagasaki Motoyo were sent to the other side one after another, only Naruse Ritsu and Shiina Tatsuki were left on the cliff on this side.

"Let me tell you in advance, I won't allow you to use that posture."

"Okay, okay~"

With a casual nod, Naruse Ritsu grabbed Shiina Riki's waist and carried him on his shoulder.

"Hey! I told you—"

"If I talk now, it'll make the wind go straight into my stomach."

Dragon energy burst out from the gun wing nozzles on the back, but because it still maintained its human form, the output was far less intense than when Ritsu Naruse moved in his original form.

Across the plateau, Naruse Ritsu clearly felt Shiina Riki's body tense up. But soon her tense body relaxed again, like a wax figure melted by the sun, and slumped over Naruse Ritsu's shoulders.

It was thought that Shiina Riki had adapted to this feeling, but after he landed, Naruse Ritsu discovered that Shiina Riki had actually fainted.

After swapping its position with the cat in the cart, Ritsu Narose and his group continued on their way.

And when they encountered almost vertical cliffs on the way, he was the one who carried the girls up one by one.

Trolleys are no exception.

Looking at Shiina Riki lying in the cart in a rather unladylike manner, Naruse Ritsu couldn't help but feel worried.

Hope your waist is ok.

Fortunately, Shiina Riki's condition did not last too long. After about half an hour, she finally woke up from her coma due to back pain.

Then she returned to the team with an embarrassed look on her face.

Although this journey seems a bit cumbersome, it is the fastest way that Ritsu Narose can think of.

After several breaks along the way, and after some twists and turns, everyone finally arrived at the "secret camp" mentioned by Ritsu Narose.

"so beautiful……"

Pushing open the heavy wooden door, when Takamatsu Deng followed Narushe Ritsu into this space made of rocks, he was immediately attracted by the scene here.

Sunlight pours in from the opening at the top, making the space less gloomy. Clear water flows out from the rock wall, and combined with the surrounding terrestrial corals and barnacle fossils, it gives the place an aquarium-like feel.

"Look, there's a hammock here!"

Standing on the wooden ladder, Chihaya Aine looked curiously at the rope net hammock in front of her that exuded the fragrance of herbs.

The pillow's inner filling seems to be mixed with dried herbs, giving it a light fragrance. The feathers used as the main filling are extremely soft, and the touch of hay does not interfere with sleep quality.

Just by looking at this pillow, Chihaya Aine could already imagine the pleasant scene of sleeping at night.

Traveling to another world is so fun!

Unlike Chihaya Aine who was standing aside and grinning foolishly, Nagasaki Suyo looked at the beds in the camp silently.

According to what Ritsu Narushe said earlier, he must have come here to rest quite often. But if he was just resting alone, why would there be so many beds?

She felt that there must be something fishy going on.

Not knowing the girls' complex inner thoughts, Ritsu Narose entrusted them with the task of tidying up the camp and left the camp.

As this was a campsite he frequently used, he wasn't worried about its safety.

The ancient dragons living here are well aware of each other's movements, and those individual violent creatures that are not ancient dragons will not deliberately run to this remote and narrow place.

Even if they really passed by the camp gate, his disguise would not allow the Golden Lion Tyrannosaurus and the like to notice that there was anything wrong.

That's why he left with peace of mind, preparing to catch a few Wind Dragons to dig up some materials.

Spraying dragon energy, Ritsu Narushe quickly climbed to the high altitude of the Coral Plateau, searching for the Wind Dragon in the area.

After he left, the girls began to tidy up the camp in full swing.

However, before they were busy for too long, the extremely heavy wooden door of the camp was kicked open from the outside.

"Bam—"

Accompanied by a loud bang, a clear and pleasant voice came from the door.

"I'm here to have some fun with you! Kaka!"

Following the sound, the girls in the camp only saw a little girl in a vest and shorts appearing there with her legs raised.

From their perspective, the originally lively girl looked at them in shock after seeing the situation in the camp, then covered the pale blue horn on her forehead guiltily, slowly backed away without saying a word, and then carefully closed the open wooden door.

Then they heard vague shouts and faint thunder coming from outside the door.

She opened the door and looked out, but Chihaya Aine couldn't see the other person anywhere.

After searching fruitlessly, she returned to the camp and said in confusion, "That kid...could it be that he knows Naruse-kun?"

"probably……"

Thinking of what Ritsu Narose had said before about the "souvenir", and combining it with the unicorn horn on the girl's head, Nagasaki Suyo had a vague guess.

Unseen by the girls, the little girl had already run into another secret camp, yelling at Melo Miel, who was lying on a hammock, eating snacks and playing games.

"Hold it back and eat spicy food! Something big will happen!"

"Shut up the noisy brat!"

Startled by the sudden loud voice, Melo slipped his hand and watched as he was overtaken by the NPC in an instant while occupying the first place.

Because of this mistake, the gap, which was not too big to begin with, was widened to a desperate distance.

In a rage, Melo threw the game console aside, jumped down from the hammock, and fiercely grabbed the Qilin's face: "I've been playing for almost a whole day and was finally about to break the record, and you ruined it!"

"But humans have occupied Kaka's camp!"

"What?"

"A lot of people have occupied the camp that Kaka set up over there."

While pointing in the approximate direction, the [Mythical Beast] - the petite ancient dragon named [Qilin] by the hunter hurriedly said.

After a moment's pause, Melo, whose mind was full of games, finally remembered who the "kaka" she was talking about was.

"Ka... Didn't Ritsu Naruse tell you not to call him that anymore?"

“But Kaka is Kaka?”

Looking at the innocent and not very smart phantom beast in front of him, Mello decided to give up explaining this problem that was beyond the other party's brain capacity.

"I've taken it, so what are you doing over there, Vera?"

Without any sense of shame as an elder, Mello lazily walked to the pile of snacks on the side and squatted down, unscrupulously picking up the snacks that Ritsu Narose originally bought for Kirin.

"Because I saw Kaka——"
