Re Istode : Things that kitsune girl do in another world - Chapter 127
“Wait! Wait! Wait! Let me walk!” I screamed when Honesty hold me as she flew.
“Walking? That was incredibly slow. So, no walking,” she said with a firm unwillingness. “Flying is the fastest method of transportation. Except for the teleportation.”
The woman increased her speed. As for me, I’m desperately clinging to her arms, trying not to fall.
“Don’t be too fast! Please fly slowly and safely!” I screamed, again.
“But we’ve been flying very, very, very slowly. I could die if we flew slower than this,” she claimed then increase her speed, again.
I can’t seem to change her decision. So, I try to accept things that happened. I just hope, my pants that have been dried by her do not become wet again.
I’ve never thought about this before. But now, I found out that flying in the sky at high speed and without enough safety turned out to be extremely terrifying!
Imagining the scenario when I fall to the ground far down there made all the fur in my body stand up!
Our trip lasted for a few minutes but for me, it was forever. And yes, in the end, we arrived at the Airship.
My mouth gaped as I saw dozens of people lying on the deck. Most of them didn’t move and there were a lot of bloodstains there!
“They didn’t die right?” A little panicked, I asked Honesty. At the same time, I saw another Flugel who was now standing on the deck.
The woman was the only one who is still standing.
That Flugel looks like a Valkyrie. Her powerful aura was so oppressive and her expressionless face made her outright intimidating.
I believe, she was the mastermind behind the carnage.
Although her face was identical with Honestly’s, that short-haired woman was so different in many ways.
“All those people are alive, they’re not going to die. That’s why you can breathe a sigh of relief. And the woman who was there, she was my sister, Dishonesty.”
I nodded after hearing Honesty’s explanation. I believe her because I also feel the heat of all those people.
As we got close enough, the scary woman on the deck moved her head to look at us. When our eyes met, my body shivered. Along with that, my fox’s ears and tail stood upright.
My instinct told me not to approach her but… well… another woman who was also no less terrifying brought me to her.
I who have no choice are forced to face the fear that envelops my heart.
“Dishonesty, I found her!” Honesty said as we floated above the deck.
And without warning, the woman dropped me who wasn’t ready. Thanks to that, I fell onto my butt to then say, “ouch!”
I stroked my butt as Dishonesty approached us.
The woman looked down to take a peek at me. A moment later, she opened her mouth to say, “Is she a Player?”
“Yes,” Honesty replied briefly.
“Good then.” Dishonesty sheathed her sword. “I’m tired of playing around with them, we leaving, take her my sister.”
“You need to remember I’m not your servant,” said Honesty, who saw her sister walking to the edge of the deck. “And I need to say, she’s Vier.”
Dishonesty stopped. Without turning around, she asked, “Vier?”
“Yes, Vier. Someone you and Eden love.”
“Did she truly declare that she was Vier?”
“I can’t possibly mishear her words.”
Shortly after Honesty uttered that, Dishonesty’s figure disappeared to appear in front of me. Then, she observed me from head to toe.
Some time passed until she asked, “Is this your Avatar after you used the Seed of Life?”
“Yes, that’s right,” I replied a little dazedly. I didn’t expect that she–
“You still remember the Item she had after more than a thousand years had passed?” Honesty cut my mind off with the question.
And thousand years? What did she mean?
“Of course, I remember it. After all, for thousands of times, I suspect that Item is the main reason why we moved into this world.”
“It was something I never hear and I want to hear it in more detail.”
“You’ll get it. But we have to go back home first. Take her, my sister.”
“No, you’re the one who’s going to take her.”
“… All right,” Dishonesty said after a pause for some time. Then, she reached out her hand to take me.
Seeing that, in a hurry, I said, “I can’t go.”
“Why?”
“My friends are hurt, I have to take care of them,” I explained. A moment later, I scanned the deck, searching for Kimi, Ruciel, Chloe, and Alan.
“…” Dishonesty was silent for a moment before she snapped her fingers.
Instantly, a huge, green Magic Circle appeared above the deck. A thousand spots of green light resembling snow appeared to then enter the bodies of the injured people.
The green light heals them.
“They have been repaired. Now, let’s go, there’s a lot of things that I want to ask,” Dishonesty said.
She stretched out her hand again to take me. But before she managed to touch me…
“Stop right there!” A shout was heard.
Not long after, from behind the door, Kimi ran up to us. She left Alan and Chloe who is frozen behind.
“You can’t take big sis away!” She declared. The trembling little girl pointed her sword at Dishonesty.
The Flugel who gets the threat observed her attacker for a while. Then, she looks back at me. “Who is this little girl?”
“My little sister.”
“…” She didn’t say anything.
“I challenge you to a duel! Whoever the loser must obey the winner!” Kimi offered a challenge.
Dishonesty narrowed her eyes, and that was more than enough for the expressionless girl to show her irritation.
Then, suddenly, the atmosphere became noiseless and cold. My instinct felt such a harmful disaster come to befall my little sister.
My body trembled with fear but I managed to stand in front of Kimi to protect her.
“Okay, calm down, take a deep breath,” Honestly said, appearing behind Dishonesty. The woman then pulled and played with her sister’s cheeks. “Don’t get angry, I’ll bring the little girl, and we’ll have a tea party!”
As soon as she said all of that, the harmful disaster I felt disappeared.
Dishonesty who closed her eyes said, “All right.”
“Perfect answer! Let’s go home!”
With that, the two Flugels took me and Kimi away. We couldn’t go against their will and now, we are like prey carried by an eagle.
We flew, leaving the Airship and everyone behind.
Minutes passed until I said, “Wow…”
I was amazed when I saw a magnificent and enormous Flying Castle emerge from within the clouds.
The Flying Castle had a traffic cone-like shape. Twenty statues of Flugel surrounded the bottom of the castle. Meanwhile, at the top, there is a small castle made of emerald-like crystal.
The Flying Castle that had dozens of floors could be considered a Sky Island. That’s not an exaggeration.
“… Can you tell me the size of that Flying Castle or maybe Sky Island?” I looked at Dishonesty’s eyes with hope.
The woman glanced at me for a moment before looking back ahead. She showed absolutely no signs of wanting to speak. It made me give up on getting answers but then…
“Uncertainty has a diameter of twenty kilometers at the bottom. At the top, it was around one kilometer. The height was fifty kilometers,” Dishonesty explained.
‘That’s amazing. I’m sure, there’s no such Sky Island like that when we play Ark Fantasy Online.”
Dishonesty doesn’t give a reply. And so, automatically, we traveled without conversation. An awkward atmosphere befalls us. Honesty who see this made giggles.
Minutes passed and…
“We’re here,” Honesty said as she set foot in the dock. The woman then released my little sister.
Dishonesty did the same to me.
A moment later, she walked away from me. And in exchange for her, Kimi ran up to me. The little girl hugged me. I stroked her head to calm her down.
“Come on, come with us,” Honesty asked.
The two of us who have no other option move our feet to follow them.
My fox ears twitched with more energy than usual. Again, I was amazed.
But why?
Because I saw a beautiful city after we passed through a gate. And not only the city, but I also saw the forest and the grasslands. Surprisingly enough, there is a lake in this place.
And I need to say, the inside of this Flying Castle doesn’t look like the inside of a building at all. This place is more like a piece of natural area that is put into an enormous room.
This place is so extraordinary. And it becomes even more amazing when hundreds of Flugels live here. The beautiful women passed by, doing their activities and business.
Yes, Flugel is just like the Amazones and Valkyrie, their race has no creatures called men.
A city that contains only women…
Living in such a place is like living in paradise!
We walked through this paradise for some time before an unexpected event occurred.
All the Flugels on the street and in places we could see clearly, kneeling as soon as they saw Dishonesty and Honesty.
The thing that happened made me who walking along with them feel uncomfortable. And not only me, but my sister also seemed to feel the same way.
She appear so panicked and her hand that was holding my hand became tighter.
Amid this situation, Dishonesty walked without care. Meanwhile, Honesty…
“Please, all of you don’t have to kneel,” she told them. The woman didn’t make a shout but her voice was reverberating all over this place clearly. “Stand up and please treat us as your neighbors.”
The Flugels got up a short time later. They did what Honesty said.
It makes me wonder about the true identity of Dishonesty and Honesty who is now in front of me.
