To my question, Kron once looked up at the sky. The country of the Seraph tribes, and where the captured Jamdi’el is held.
“…… Up there… is far away…… even if I jump a lot and reach out my hand, I don’t feel like I can reach it.”
Kron stretched her hands overhead, as if trying to measure an unfathomable distance.
Earth… can you reach that far?”
“Well, I don’t know. I’ll have to try it out.”
“But…it’s impossible for me to… you have potential, don’t you?”
“…… I’ll do it.”
Recognizing that she couldn’t do it herself, Kron looked at me, and then said…
“If I had the potential to reach as far as you…… I’m sure…… I wouldn’t hesitate.”
“Is that your answer…”
“Yes. If I had that kind of power… I would have soared to the sky at once.”
If Kron had the power to go up to the sky by herself, she would have already gone.
To the abducted Jamdi’el.
That’s Kron’s answer.
“Machio too… if there was a means, he would gladly launch a raid to help Jamdi’el… apparently, Jamdi’el is a benefactor and a master for this country… well, he can’t just abandon her.”
“I hear that, as a High Priestess, as a leader of the Revolutionaries, and sometimes as an instructor to the dojo, Jamdi’el has been involved and admired by the people of this country from various standpoints. But…… even if there are speculations that cannot be told to the people… she is still…”
Yes, Kron’s right.
Jamdi’el, when she was in this country, has spent her time with other faces, not the face of the former Six Supremacy and General of the Demon King Army.
As a High Priestess in front of the sisters of the church and people.
During the past civil war, as a leader to the citizens.
And to these unscrupulous men, as a mentor who trains them.
She has all these faces, and there are many people who adore her for all of them.
Even if there was someone like José.
After recognizing that, I asked Kron again.
“What exactly is Jamdi’el to you?”
So what does she mean to Kron?
A High Priestess? The leader of the Revolutionaries? The master of the Arcane True Zenith?
It should not be any of those things.
Because Kron was special to Jamdi’el, Kron must have seen a unique face.
Then Kron…
“I don’t know.”
“What?”
“It seems that Jamdi’el drew the line at serving me only as a vassal, but… I didn’t think it was all, and I didn’t want to think it was all. But, as a person who was ignorant of the world, I couldn’t answer clearly what kind of feelings and relationships I should have.”
Jamdi’el and Kron. Kron murmurs that she doesn’t know what kind of relationship is appropriate, although she says it’s not just a master-subordinate relationship.
But……
“So now I regret it.”
“Kron…”
“Because I don’t have parents… Jamdi’el spoiled me to the point of overprotection… I don’t know how to spoil her… so…… that’s why…”
At that time, Kron, who always smiles gently, showed her first expression.
“My true feelings… were full of what I really wanted to call her… there were so many… in the end, I couldn’t say anything!”
The expression of sadness, regret, and many shed tears.
At that moment, something in me burst out hot.
“Then, if you want to tell her, you might still be able to… it’s not like anyone knows if it’s too late!”
Seeing Kron’s tears, and hearing her words, I was naturally screaming.
“Earth…”
“Not yet…… not yet…… if you don’t think that’s enough… don’t give up… “
Yes, it isn’t over for Kron yet.
She’s different from me.
―― Enough… I don’t care……
Yes, it’s not like me who threw everything away in the Academy match.
I have no regrets.
I’ve given up, and I’ve had enough.
――If I knew it would be this hard… I would not want to be born as a hero’s child… Father…
At that time, with more than ten years’ worth of feeling, I said that.
So it’s too late for me.
But not for her.
She can still tell her.
It’s not too late.
“Kron, let’s go!”
“Earth… b, but…”
“If you don’t think this is a good idea, just say it! If you don’t say it now, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life! She will not wait forever!”
I don’t know how long that cloud will stay over there.
In the first place, I don’t know what’s going on with Jamdi’el right now.
But if we move now, we may still be able to do something.
On the other hand, if we keep still like this, we may not make it in time.
The answer, then, was clear enough.
“But… even if I move… I can’t fly like Jamdi’el…”
“That’s why I’m here!”
Yes, that’s usually the biggest problem.
Those who cannot fly to the clouds in the sky can’t reach them no matter how hard they struggle.
But that doesn’t mean there is nothing we can do.
“I’ll ask a guy who knows how to fly, and I’ll fly you!”
“Earth…”
Someone who should know how to do it was by my side.
「Tre’ainar…」
『Have you found a reason to fight?』
「No, I just thought I should help.」
『Fuhahaha, what is that? Well… if tis what you intend, make the attempt!』
Tre’ainar nodded as he was watching our interaction.
Yes, there’s a way. I don’t know anything about it, but…
『Then let us prepare. Child… and Kron… with no one around, and nothing… that should be…… move to a spacious location like where you fought Jamdi’el.』
「With just me… and Kron alone?」
『Yes, it may be difficult just by the power of the child at present… but with Kron by your side, the possibility of ‘contacting to him’ may increase.』
「Him?」
What? What’s Tre’ainar trying to get her to do?
“Ah, for the time being, I’ll prepare a little with Kron. Everyone… oh, Mr. Machio, Elder Sis Tsukshi and Sadiz, please stay here for a moment.”
“Little man? What the heck……”
“It’s necessary… apparently. I still don’t know how yet, but…”
“…… ah…… that’s what… you mean.”
Sadiz alone seemed to have understood this.
There was a way to reach above the unreachable clouds. That it’s not my idea, it’s Tre’ainar’s.
“Eh? The Goddess and Earth… what are you trying to do?”
“Tsukshi…… let’s leave this to Little man.”
“Do you know what it is, Sadis Big Sister?”
“I don’t know…… but there must be a move to play. And it would be better if we were not there as they prepare for it.”
“What does …… that mean?”
“Come on, but…… Little man. Tell the one who came up with the idea. Don’t let him do anything unreasonable.”
Everyone seems to be wondering what kind of idea it is, but Sadiz stopped them.
However, Sadiz seemed somewhat uncomfortable with her gaze. No….. it’s not at me, it’s towards Tre’ainar.
“Then, let’s go, Kron.
“Yes!”
Anyway, let’s move for now. Kron also nodded firmly, with pure eyes without doubting me, and ran alongside me.
And…..
「So? What are we doing?」
I asked Tre’ainar to tell me about it soon.
Then, Tre’ainar…
『Uh huh, of the means to go above that cloud… there are two.』
「Two?」
『One is to fly by magic. However, even if you fly blindly against the Seraphs born the ability to fly, you will only become a target and be struck down.』
「W, well~, that’s right, but…… then, if that’s no good, what’s the other option?」
There are two ways, but the first method seemed to be a bust.
If that’s the case, then Tre’ainar’s suggestion would be the second method…
『To have someone who can fly in the sky take you.』
「….. huh?」
No…… well, if you can do that… do it from the beginning……
『For instance… a monster capable of flying in the sky.』
「Eh!?」
No way? In spite of myself, I asked.
「Hey, no way… are we going to catch a monster that can fly in the sky now? Are there any monsters in this country that can do that?」
『No, you will not catch one. Even if there were any such monsters, they would only be done in by the Seraphs and Pegasus knights in the same way.』
「?」
『Yes, even if you are to take a monster who can fly in the sky… tis desirable to have a monster of overwhelming strength or enough monsters to deal with all the Seraphs in the entire country.』
No, no, no, no, no, it’s desirable… but is it even possible?
Can you take such an outrageous monster who can fly in the sky as your ally?
How am I supposed to do that?
『Child, ‘Summoning Magic’… and… ‘Dragon King of Hades’ … do you know of these two?』
And from now on, I’m going to listen to Tre’ainar’s shocking idea, and after all of that explanation, I’m going to throw a retort from the bottom of my heart.
Hey, Tre’ainar… rather than flying and antagonizing the Seraphs and their country… isn’t that more difficult and life-threatening? Really.
