Chapter 23: Lagnis Lien da Levien
It’s fine even if we fall.
Before she even thought of that, Lagnis quickly turned her body and looked at the owner of the voice.
Her eyes teared up at the sunrise and the strong winds, but it didn’t matter at all. Because either way, she would’ve cried.
In her young and immature years when she was still living a happy life at her fief. There were days when she dreamed of the romances in stories like other noble girls and read really many books.
To her fellow nobles at her age, the fact that the war erupted with the Demon King Army was merely a thrilling subject. In their heads, something like a wretched future and a life turned impoverished at a defeat by the Demon King Army didn’t exist.
Rather, they felt that a legendary and heroic era exceptional even in history had arrived. They cheered saying that they were living in an era of glory and dreams, when countless heroes were born, knights rose, and love and honor were sung.
They were immature and laughable young days when looking back, but it was also true that she had dreamed of a meeting with such a knight.
Fantasizing of sir knights who confessed their love and slayed dragons to prove them, sir knights who fought for his honor and gifted their glory together with a single flower, and all sorts of other varied imaginations, she raced her heart. When a few noble girls hired painters and drew knights or princes in their imaginations and showed her, she even felt envious and wanted to have her own, too.
Because of that, she was certain.
That even if she brought all the knights she and the other noble girls had imagined, they couldn’t be more enchanting than the sight of him falling from the sky and piercing the drake’s head like a lightning, and cutting her kidnapper like a flash of light.
“Eldmia!”
From within happiness and joy, Lagnis cried out.
She wanted to believe he would rescue her. Because it absolutely wasn’t a situation where she could be certain he would unquestionably rescue her, she simply wanted to believe. Even as she felt appalling disgust at herself that couldn’t do anything but simply believe in him and wait, she couldn’t abandon that belief.
“Wow this actually worked!”
Eldmia, who was laughing and smiling a smile brighter than any she had seen until now, was falling down. Of course, she herself too, and the dead drake, too, were falling down. Seeing his smile, her kidnapper who had clearly died should also obviously be falling.
But Eldmia simply smiled as if there was nothing to worry about. Even showing calm by casually sheathing the sword in his hand and tying it to prevent it from coming out even while falling, he smiled more gleefully and freely than ever before.
Because of that, Lagnis smiled together with him.
“Let’s go home! Lagnis!”
“Yeah!”
Because she trusted the light that lit her up, she widely smiled.
????
I didn’t know that I would come to a fantasy world and actually do skydiving that I hadn’t even tried in my last life, but I couldn’t deny that it was a successful experience.
Excluding my body squeaking and trembling from the body strengthening done at full strength, it was perfection itself. Giesse really masterfully matched our speed and not only caught Lagnis with zero discomfort, but even securely sat me down at the back again.This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.
“It’s a name I haven’t heard before. I also wonder if it might be a fake name.”
Having avoided death by falling like that, we came down to the ground and then lit a campfire and took a rest for a moment.
“Because I judged too complacent, and because the situation went sideways because of that, I ultimately killed someone. Sorry.”
“It’s hard to believe Eldi judged complacently, though, no?”
“I thought together with Lagnis what we’d thought was enough, but... they were reading just one step ahead of us.”
If Delt had judged even my skills perfectly, then he would’ve used the adventurer bastards only as throwaway hands instead and left nothing at the campsite. If he did, then Lagnis wouldn’t be here. We were simply lucky.
There was still time until the guards interrogated us, and when I told her the rough sequence of the events in that time, Asileye hugged me with a faint smile and spoke.
“Yeah. If you can judge like that, then your big sis thinks it’s not something I need to worry about. It’s fine if you’ve judged with a cool head.”
“Thanks, sis.”
“More important than that, big sis is curious how Eldi won against an opponent like that. If he even flew on a drake, Eldi who can’t properly use magic should’ve been really disadvantageous, no?”
“Ah, that.”
Asileye’s thought wasn’t wrong even a little. If I had normally fought Delt, then the one who fell from the air would’ve been me even if his swordsmanship had been worthless.
Even the thing called aura was ultimately just a type of enhancement. Whether enhancing the body or enhancing the weapon one held, put simply the role of aura was making it sturdier. I did sometimes hear legends and rumors of crazy maniacs whose swordsmanship had reached the level of magic, but, after all, it wasn’t like I could copy them.
Really, how the fuck would a sword swing by a person split apart space? It was obvious that something like that was a lie.
In the end, unless one could shoot sword slashes like arrows or make the swords fly on their own with telekinesis like in Chinese fantasy martial arts novels, it was natural to get one-sidedly beat up by mages in air battles. That was why I kicked off the fight with such an extreme move.
“Ah hah. I actually did feel my heart wobble a bit from that. Giesse, I mean that drake pilot friend over there, that friend’s incredible flying skills did a big job.”
“Oh, really?”
“Yeah. I could tell the moment I jumped. Like, ‘oh? It looks like I can directly poke the drake’s skull if I fall like this, huh?’, and so on.”
“......huh?”
“I thought it was a pure lie that the world slows down when you tense up, but just 1 second? 2 second? Was it about that long? That time I’ve gripped my sword with both my hands until I pierced down into the head really felt like an eternity. That Delt guy probably also felt something similar to...”
“Wait, Eldi? Jump? Toward a drake’s head? From where?”
“Hm? Of course from the drake we were riding on.”
When I stopped my description of the scene and looked at Asileye wondering just what she was saying all of a sudden...
Asileye, who seemed to stiffen with a faint smile as she looked at me, immediately rolled her eyes backwards and fainted.
“Uaaaagh?! Sis?! La, Lagnis! Water! Water!”
“Eld...? Kyaaaagh! Miss Asileye!!”
Oh my fucking world! I shouldn’t have said it!
