Man is infinite, and his ambition is to slay the dragon

next moment--

"Buzz!"

The white light enveloped his body, causing him to disappear instantly. And then, the Clinshid floating above the String God Island also turned into a stream of light that streaked across the sky in an even brighter light, heading towards the starry sky that was still far away for this planet.

This scene caused the entire Genshin Island to fall into a commotion, but without paying attention to the hustle and bustle below, Nangong Nayue just looked up at the light that was gradually moving away.

(The next time we meet will be 65 years later...)

(Be careful on the road, stupid student.)

3. Maybe it's time to go home?

On board the Climbhide.

After walking out of the transporter, Sieg immediately went to the bridge.

When he arrived at the bridge, everyone was already waiting there except Sarah, who had been locking herself in the studio and was too lazy to go out, and Wang Ma, whose mind was filled with fighting and training.

"Welcome back, Senior."

Himeragi Setsuna, carrying the Snow Wolf on her back, came forward and greeted.

"I will be living on this ship starting today. I will adapt to life on the ship as soon as possible. Please take care of me in the future."

"There's no need to be so formal, Ji Shu." Sieg said with a smile, "Since we're on the boat, we're a family now, so just be relaxed and natural. Besides, we're not in school now, so you don't have to call me senior anymore, just call me Sieg."

"No, I'm more used to it, senior."

Ji Hiiragi smiled and shook his head: "Besides, I am the only one who would call you senior like that."

"Really? Just as long as you like it."

Sieg sat down in the captain's seat and turned to look at the others on the bridge. "Alright - although we are about a year and a half ahead of schedule, our trip on Earth 94 will come to an end here for now. Miss Brunhilde, as before, book a trip for 65 years. We will have to come back then."

【learn】

Brunhilde nodded slightly.

Ji Shu asked doubtfully: "Same as before?"

"It's our hometown." Stella explained, "Although the specific time has not been determined, it is tentatively planned that we will return to the hometown of Daohua and others in about 50 years. For the time being, we still need to go back to see our parents~~~"

"At first I thought I wouldn't have to go back for at least 20 years, but after calculating my schedule, it became increasingly far away, and I feel like the next time I go back will be 70 years from now."

Dao Hua also laughed twice.

On the other side, Edwards asked Qig: "Since our journey on this planet has temporarily ended, where is our next stop, Captain?"

"Yeah, where's the next stop?"

Xijing Ningyin was also somewhat looking forward to it.

During these two and a half years, if anyone was to be the most comfortable, it would undoubtedly be Nin. On Earth 52, because he had to accept the management of the Alliance and was watched by his good friend Shinguji Kurono, Nin suppressed his nature to a certain extent.

After letting go for two and a half years, she finally tasted the sweetness.

Now she can't wait to go to the new planet.

"Regarding this, I actually want to confirm the time first. Miss Brunhilde, how long have we been away from Miss Tina and I's hometown?"

[It has been 7 years since we met, Master Sieg]

Brunhilde replied.

[Do you want to go back? ]

"------!"

Hearing her say this, Tina, who had been leaning against the bridge door not far away, stood up straight immediately. There was obvious anticipation in her eyes, and her expression became somewhat excited.

Seeing her like this, Zieg was not surprised: "Ms. Tina, you haven't decided to go back yet. We agreed to go back ten years later at the latest. Now there are still more than three years. Don't get too excited."

"......Humph!"

Tina snorted coldly, pretending to be indifferent and leaning back against the wall with her arms around her chest: "I'm not excited. It won't be a few years anyway, and you will have to go back no matter what. I can wait."

Although she said that, anyone could tell from the faint disappointment on her face that she really wanted to go back.

And Himeragi Yukina asked curiously, "The hometown of Senior and Miss Tina... What kind of planet is that?"

"Hmm~~~~ It's a planet that doesn't give people much sense of security and safety."

Sieg considered his words.

"Basically, that planet is also an Earth, but on that Earth there exists a natural enemy of mankind called a dragon. You can look up the relevant information in the database later. But remember, don't agree to any of Em's requests. She is a pervert."

"How can you say that about your mentor? Don't forget that the remaining modules of the True Ancestor Magic are still in my hands. Be careful that I won't install them for you."

Em's voice came over the radio.

[By the way, if you want to go back, that means Tina-chan will have to leave our ship~~~ Oh, before I knew it, the Tina-chan who wanted to tear Sieg into pieces and was at odds with Sieg has been living with Sieg for so long~~~]

[Don’t feel lonely after returning to Hell Valley]

"Are you kidding?" Tina raised her eyebrows. "Do you know how long I lived alone on the fourth floor of Hell Valley? It was only less than ten years, which is nothing to me. In addition, let me make it clear here. When I return to the Roaring Blood Clan, if we meet again on the battlefield, I will not hesitate to treat you as enemies and eliminate you."

"Then I will do my best to kill you, to repay you for your kindness in sparring with me over the past few years."

Zieg smiled and said, "However, it's still too early to talk about this now. Since there is still some time before the ten-year agreement, I would like to continue my previous journey."

[Let the Clinshid search the universe for the planet that the future Sieg-sama has visited, right? ]

Brunhilde understood what Sieg meant.

Sieg nodded: "Let me think about it... Just like this time, spend a year searching in the universe. If we find it, we can live on that planet until the ten-year period is up. If we can't find it, we can go back two years earlier. It's not good to let Miss Tina really wait for ten years. I think she will probably be impatient with the remaining half of the year, right?"

"..."

Tina didn't respond, but just turned her head away.

No one objected to Zieger's decision.

[I understand. Then please tell me the characteristics of the planet we are going to this time, Sieg-sama. However, it should be noted that it was a miracle that we were able to find Earth 94 in just one and a half years. Normally, if you want to find a specific planet in the universe, you need to calculate it in units of hundreds of years.]

"It doesn't matter. We have plenty of time anyway."

[Then please tell me about the iconic buildings on that planet, the special species that exist on that planet, or the ecological environment of that planet]

"Well......."

Sieg held his chin up and thought: "Perhaps it's because I have come into contact with the future again. This time I can remember two places... One is also Earth, but there are a lot of gods, angels, and demons living there. From my memory, it seems that there is a strong connection with dragons."

"The other one... seems to be a place called [Chaldea]?"

[Okay, the above information has been entered into the database of the Clinshid. Next, we will compare the information of the planets we pass by.]

[In addition, the interstellar coordinates of Earth 94 have been recorded in the star map to ensure that it can be traveled back and forth through jumps in the future]

"Well - well, thank you for your hard work, everyone!"

Sieg stood up from the captain's seat and said, "Let's disband first. There is still some time before dinner. Before that, everyone can move freely on the ship as usual."

"Oh!"×N

4. The Last Year with Miss Tina

The Crimsheed Magical Research Area.

This was an area opened up by one of the first few contractors. After nearly a thousand years and transformations by successive contractors, it became the most important area on the Crainhild when Em became the contractor.

There are various magical devices here. Although most of them are in dormant state because no one on the Crinshid can use them freely yet, there are still some devices that can be used.

For example, [Body Age Modification Device].

This is a magical device that can adjust the age of a living being to any time period. According to Em, time magic and biological magic were used in its creation. She originally created it so that her lover and lovers could stay young forever, but she didn't use it much later.

And now...

“Gulp, gulp, gulp~~~”

As the liquid that filled the entire device slowly sank into the drainage pipe, Sieg, who was completely immersed in the device, opened his eyes and waited for the device to open and slowly fall to the floor.

Sieg picked up the clothes hanging beside him and put them on, then looked at the mirror beside him - what appeared in the mirror was a young man who looked a little childish, yet a little mature, with red hair draped over his shoulders, and a muscular but not overly strong body that showed his strength.

[How about myself at 23?]

As a curtain of light appeared, Em, revealing his upper body, smiled at Sieg.

"Something... unexpected."

Sieg looked at himself in the mirror.

"If I had developed normally, I should look like this now, right?"

After disbanding the impromptu meeting held on the bridge, Sieg wandered around for a while, and then came here, and used the body age modification device on himself with the help of Em.

When he landed on Gengami Island, he modified his body age to 14 or 15 years old for ease of movement. Until now, when he left there, his body age was only about 17 years old.

But if we talk about his actual age, Zigg is 23 years old now.

"Do you feel... a little old?"

[You are definitely older now than before, time is merciless~~~ But why did you suddenly want to adjust your body age to match your actual age? I think you looked best when you were around 18, with a face that could definitely attract many beautiful girls if you wanted to. ]

"......After all, I'm going back to my hometown soon. If I go back with the same appearance as when I left, that dwarf will definitely laugh at me and mock me for not growing up."

Sieg smiled softly and said, "Miss Brunhilde is right. It was a miracle that we were able to find Genshin Island in just a year and a half. I don't think it will be so easy to find the planet I want to go to this time. In this case, I have to make some preparations in advance for my return in a year."

[That's right. I also spent almost 20 years searching the universe for materials to make a new staff. Even if interstellar travel is possible, the distance between planets is so far that it would be impossible to cross it in a lifetime.]

Em sighed.

「Then you can show off your skills for a while. I will also take care of Tina-chan’s affairs. I will leave first. I still need to study True Ancestor magic.」

After saying that, Em disappeared from Sieg's sight.

Before Zieg could wonder why she mentioned Tina——

"You're here, Sieg?"

At the entrance of the magic research area, Tina's voice came over. After looking up and down at Sieg's current appearance, she nodded slightly: "Well, it's better than before. He doesn't look so stupid anymore. He looks a bit like a warrior."

"It's rare to hear Miss Tina praise me." Zig said with a smile, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"I suppose so—come and take a walk with me on deck."

"it is good."

————————————————————————————

A special barrier has always been maintained around the Krenshid, with an atmospheric and gravity environment similar to that of the Earth, allowing people to move freely in the universe without wearing a space suit.

After arriving on the deck with Tina, neither Sieg nor Tina spoke first, but just walked along the edge of the deck at a leisurely pace.

Time passed slowly in the silence between the two, and the sea of ​​stars around and above their heads became their backdrop at this moment.

Then——

"Do you remember when we first met, Sieg?"

Tina asked first.

Sieg smiled softly: "You can't forget it even if you want to, right? Even though seven years have passed, I still remember what happened that day clearly."

Counting now, it should be exactly seven years ago.

At the age of 16, Sieg broke into the base of the Roaring Vampires in the most direct way. After letting his temper take him aback and making a big fuss, he formed a bond with a superior dragon named Gargantina in the worst way.

"It feels a bit strange." Sieg sighed. "Seven years ago, I certainly couldn't imagine that I would be walking on the deck of the Clinshid with the person I regarded as an enemy back then. Even now, when I think about it, I can't remember when my relationship with you, Miss Tina, eased."

"Ease? Us?"

Tina glanced at Sieg and said, "Although I haven't been a human for a long time, I think that the way we get along with each other, where we tear each other's bodies apart at any time, is far from being peaceful."

"But at least now, we won't fight over a disagreement, right? You have to know that Miss Tina wanted to kill me hundreds of times back then."

"Don't you think about what you did to me at that time?"
