Spirit’s Paradise And The Idle Another World Life

Journey in the Sky

———————-

 

“Mo-rn-ing!”

 

“Kyu-Kyu-Kyu!”

 

“Oh, Morning.”

 

Yesterday, I went to bed early and woke up before dawn.
A lot happened, like the battle with Lich and the contract with Sylphy, my mind and body were tired, so it couldn’t be helped.
However, the time until sunrise seemed extremely long.

 

I was planning to fly in the sky once the sun rose, but time passed so slowly that even after getting ready and having breakfast, it was still dark.
Sylphy told me to calm down a bit, but I couldn’t contain my excitement.

 

Before going to bed last night, Sylphy had warned me that there might be a chance of falling during flight, which scared me.
However, she reassured me that she would help me, so there was no problem.
All that was left was to fly in the sky once the sun rose.

 

I think it was inevitable to be excited when the sun finally rose after being so impatient.

 

“Well, are we going to leave now?”

 

“Yeah.
let’s go.”

 

I couldn’t contain my excitement.
It was like the feeling of a child the day before a field trip.

 

“It’ll definitely be okay, so calm down and manipulate your magical power.”

 

Sylphy scolded me with a look that indicated I was a spoiled child.
Well, I understand the feeling of wanting to look at an adult who is overly excited, but I want her to watch over me kindly.

 

“Okay, I got it.”

 

I replied as calmly as I could, and Sylphy cast a spell on me without chanting.
The wind wrapped around my body and lifted me up lightly.

 

“Since you can now fly with magical power manipulation, try it slowly.
Don’t put too much magical power into it.”

 

As instructed yesterday, I let my magical power crawl through the cocoon of wind and imagined blowing wind backward.

 

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

 

My vision was moving at an incredible speed, and I couldn’t understand what was happening.
My mouth was screaming on its own.
What should I do? Confused, I was suddenly held by Sylphy as the wind flowed softly.

 

“Um…what happened?”

 

“You suddenly flew away at high speed.
I told you not to put too much magical power into it.”

 

“I know that, but I haven’t used magical power for anything other than daily life, so I’m not familiar with the feeling of magical power.”

 

I had some baseless confidence that I would be okay, but it broke in an instant.
It was really scary.

 

“…There’s no choice but to practice.
I’ll take care of the flying, and you can practice magical power manipulation?”

 

It was scary.
Certainly scary.
My heart was pounding too.
But I didn’t have the choice to give up here when I knew I could get help.

 

“Sylphy, is there a way to practice while flying?”

 

“Hmm… freedom will be limited, but how about holding hands while flying? That way, I can interfere if you go out of control.”

 

Like practicing riding a bicycle with someone supporting you from behind? Then I wouldn’t go out of control, and it would be a good practice.

 

“Please do that.”

 

“Okay.
Shall we go now?”

 

Sylphy took my hand, and we set off carefully this time… she pulled my hand.
It seemed that there was too much magical power.
After a few more times of pulling and stopping, we were finally able to depart after about an hour had passed.

——

“That’s right.
That’s it.
Lean your body in the direction you want to turn, while reducing the magical power in the direction you want to turn.
Yes, it seems like you’ve got the hang of it.
Once you get used to it, you can turn without slowing down by increasing the magical power on the opposite side, rather than reducing it.”

 

“Phew.
Thanks.
I think I’m starting to understand it.”

 

I realized that once I started flying, I could maintain a normal speed with minimal magical power.
It consumed much less magical power than cleansing.
It seemed that just giving a little push to the wind cocoon that Sylphy had created was enough.

 

However, at first, I had put more magical power into it than necessary, which caused that mishap.
No one would have thought that using magical power to fly would require so little.
Sylphy’s wind cocoon is too high-performance.

 

However, it seems that there is a difference in speed between riding on Sylphy’s wind cocoon and flying on my own.
I will probably experience it when I go to the town.

 

“Kyahaha! Yuta, come this way next!”

 

“Okay, I’m coming! Wait for me!”

 

I leaned to the left and reduced magical power.
As a result, the distance and speed of the turn decreased, and I ended up behind Bell.
I then increased magical power and caught up to Bell, who was flying in front.

 

“Yuta, you made it! Kyahaha!”

 

Bell and the others are helping me practice because I’m not very good at flying.
It’s a bit embarrassing, like calling a child who has just learned to walk.

 

Next, I was called by Rain and was patted on the head with a fin.
Then, when I went to Turu when he called me, he praised me for being great.
We were supposed to fly around with Bell and the others and then return to the base, but it’s a little different from what I imagined.

 

“Come to think of it, Sylphy, why can we talk normally while flying?”

 

I had been too focused on flying, so I hadn’t noticed anything strange until now.
But when I thought about it calmly, it was strange that we could have a conversation while flying, even though we weren’t shouting.

 

“We’re under contract, so we can communicate with each other if we want to.
That’s why if Dyne were here, Yuta’s voice wouldn’t reach her.
Well, Dyne would probably use magic to listen to your voice, so there wouldn’t be any problem in that case either.”

 

Being under contract is quite convenient in many ways.
I wonder what other useful features there are, but for now, let’s enjoy the sky.
I practiced various things while flying, like somersaults and barrel rolls, with Sylphy pulling me along since I couldn’t do them myself yet.
There’s no wind pressure, and the wind doesn’t blow on me, so I’m calm, it’s not as scary as a roller coaster.

 

“How is it to fly in the sky?”

 

“It feels amazing.
But in the Land of death, it’s a bit disappointing because the scenery is monotonous.”

 

Since I’m flying over the Land of death, there’s almost no change in color.
It’s really a barren land.

 

“If you like it, that’s good.
The exciting scenery is waiting for us when we get to the town.”

 

“Is the scenery of the living land in this world beautiful?”

 

“Yes, I can confidently say that it’s beautiful, in places where there is no war, that is.”

 

Somehow, the spirits are tough on humans who are at war.
Well, it’s clear why when you see the Land of death, but still, what a Lich nature.
When I’m in the Land of death, I feel like I’m starving for greenery.
When I was in Japan, I never thought about nature or anything, but it’s important to appreciate it again.

 

“I don’t want to get involved in war, but are there any safe towns?”

 

To be honest, I don’t care if there is a war going on as long as I don’t get involved.
But as someone who wants to see the world, it would be annoying to deal with it.

 

“There are many countries and places with a secure location that aren’t under attack, so you don’t have to worry.”

 

“That’s a relief.
I’m looking forward to going to the town even more now.”

 

“Hehe.
I’m happy if you can enjoy this world.”

 

“Since it’s a different world, I’ll enjoy it to the fullest.”

 

Oh, but the public safety in this world must be bad.
What should I do if I’m attacked by people? After fighting so many undead, I feel like I could fight back if I were attacked by people, but it wouldn’t be a pleasant feeling.

 

“What’s wrong?”

 

Sylphy asked with concern as it seemed like something unpleasant was bothering me and it was showing on my face.

 

“I was imagining going to the town and the possibility of being attacked by thieves or unsavory people came to mind.
They do exist, don’t they?”

 

“Yes, they do.
However, in your case, as long as you’re cautious in the town, there shouldn’t be any problems.
Besides, since we can travel by flying, we won’t encounter any thieves.
Although, if you become an adventurer and take on escort missions or venture into the forest, there is a possibility of encountering them.
But, if I’m scouting ahead, we can avoid them before they find us.”

 

“That’s reassuring.
Sylphy, I’m counting on you.”

 

“After all, we made a contract.
I’ll do what I can, so you can relax.”

 

Sylphy is reliable.
Although the place I teleported to was the worst, the encounter was the best.

 

“We’re almost there.”

 

I was lost in thought when Sylphy announced that we were about to arrive.
Although it took three days on foot, it only took a few hours by flying, even if we were slow.
It’s too convenient.

 

“Oh, I see it.
The rocky walls stand out, but even the slightest amount of water and greenery makes such a difference in the atmosphere.”

 

From above, the spring sparkled and reflected, and there was greenery in the nearby fields.
It was hard to believe that it was a land of death.

 

“It’s the result of your hard work, Yuta.
You can see how much you’ve achieved from the sky.”

 

“Yeah.
When I look at the big picture, I feel like I’ve done a lot.”

 

I had been relying on cheat tools and spirits to slowly work on what I could do, and it turned out to be more impressive than I thought.

 

“Hehe.
You can be proud of yourself.”

 

“Yuta, well done!”

 

Sylphy and Bell, who were flying nearby, praised me.
It felt heartwarming.

 

“We’re back!”

 

I landed elegantly in front of the spring, and then something slapped on my face.

 

“Tha-that hurts.”

 

“See, Tamamo-chan? Yuta-chan is in pain.”

 

So this fluffy creature is Tamamo.
Well, I already knew that.

 

“Tamamo, we’re back.
Were you lonely? Sorry for coming back late.”

 

While making a kuu sound, Tamamo licks my face with all her might.
It’s really cute, but I feel sorry for her.

 

“Tamamo, thank you for staying behind.
Is the field growing well?”

 

“Ku-ku-ku.”

 

While shaking her fluffy tail, Tamamo nods confidently.
She seems very proud of herself.
But, I don’t think foxes shake their tails…Oh well, there’s no reason to be surprised since there’s a dolphin and a little girl flying in front of me.

 

I reward her for her hard work by giving her a good cuddle.
It’s a reward for me too, so it’s a win-win situation, isn’t it?

 

“Yuta-chan, instead of just paying attention to Tamamo-chan, let’s talk to Onee-chan as well.”

 

When I turn my gaze to Dyne, Nomos, and Dolly, they are all looking at me.
I need to say my greetings.
I pass Tamamo to Turu, who is secretly itching to hold her, and head towards them.

 

“We’re back, everyone.
We defeated the Lich and I made a contract with Sylphy.”

 

“Welcome back, Yuta-chan.
Next time, it’s our turn to make a contract with you.”

 

“No, I think Dyne will be the last to make a contract based on the conditions required.”

 

“Huh? Why is that?”

 

Well, because we can’t build the waterway without finishing the conditions set by Nomos first, and we need to go to the city first to bring back soil to mix.
Nomos and Dolly will go first, and then Dyne.

 

“Oops.”

 

I said “oops” myself.
It’s just the order of development, isn’t it? Anyway, let’s leave Dyne, who is complaining about how she was supposed to be the second to make a contract, and talk to Nomos and Dolly.

 

“I see.
If we have a clear path to achieving the conditions, then there’s nothing to complain about.
Let’s do our best.”

 

“I’m also looking forward to making a contract.
And since Tamamo is feeling lonely, please spend some time with her.”

 

“Haha.
I’ll do my best.
I’ll try to stay with Tamamo as much as possible.”

 

Even though the environment is still harsh, coming back here makes me feel quite calm.
