85-Episode 75: The Strongest Onmyoji, Slave Girl





 Yifa seemed to be talking about something with the elven squire.
 But due to the magic of the air pressure, the wind was too loud to hear well.

 I was just thinking that he had spoken, and Eifa came running towards us.
 Facing the dragon, which has its head on the upstairs terrace, I jumped up as hard as I could and reached out my hand.

''Seika-kun!''
Hey.

 I grab his hand.
 I pull him up as hard as I can and sit him back down.

Sorry to interrupt your session. I'm in a hurry. Hold on tight.
Yeah.

 Yifa put her slender arm around my belly, and when I saw it, I told her to go to the dragon, and sent the Hitogata of Light flying in front of me.
 As soon as I saw that, I told the dragon to go, and sent the Hitogata of light flying in front of me.
 The dragon looks dubious, wondering if I was going home, but eventually it raises its head and spreads its wings.
 The magic output increases.
 The wind from the pressure difference begins to blow hard.

 I made a smile and told the prince and the elves.

I'll be waiting for you all at the top of the mountain for a while. Oh, and please bring some food and other supplies.

 The dragon shot down its wings.
 Grasping the dense air, the giant body rose up.
 Eventually it gained enough altitude, and now it gradually gained momentum forward.
 It tilted its left wing and made a wide turn once. When it turned back to its destination, the dragon began to fly leisurely toward its home mountain.

"Awww, and it's flying!

 Up in the sky, Yifa, on my back, makes an impatient sound.
 I'm in a good mood, and I talk to Yifa.

What do you think, Yifa? What do you think of flying?
It's a bit scary. But it's beautiful. I've never seen a view like this before.

 Yifa mutters as she looks down at me.
 'I'm sure you're right.

'But great. Seika-kun,''
Hmm?
I never thought I'd ride a dragon. You said you couldn't...
That's right!
'What? What, what...?
I didn't think it was possible until just now. But I've made an amazing discovery!

 I explained excitedly, "Flying on a winged creature is basically impossible.

You can't fly on a winged creature," he says, "but you can't fly on a winged creature. When it flaps its wings, it can't help but move its trunk up and down in a reaction like this. Normally you can't ride on your back.
Oh, I see...
'But there was actually a place where I could flap my wings and not move up and down. Do you know where it is?
'What...? Oh, maybe the head?
'Yes! Whether it's a bird or a dragon, the only thing holding it in place is its head, as much as possible. You have to maintain your vision, and you can't think properly if your brain shakes in the first place.
Heh, yeah...
'A normal dragon might not be able to do that, but if it's as big as a Greater Dragon, it can ride on your head! This dragon is the only one I can ride! Maybe that's how the dragon knights in fairy tales flew, too.

 Yifa was slightly silent, then.
 Suddenly, he started laughing loudly.

''Hahahahaha! No way - a dragon knight riding on the head of a dragon is not cool.
Isn't that cool?

 Oh, yeah?
 I was also a member of a rain dragon's head in a previous life, do you think I looked like a strange person?

'Haha... and if it's such a big dragon, it doesn't make any difference whether you're a human or not.
I mean, sure... no, but you need people to control the base and...

 As I say it, I'm starting to feel like it's too much to ask.

But I've never seen Seika-kun talking so passionately before.
I mean, it's no big deal. I'm talking too fast.
'Yeah I want to hear more. How did you get along with the dragons?
'Uh....'

 We'll be at the summit before I can tell you everything here.
 And they'll be closing in on us, too.

It's taking me a while. I'll tell you when it's over.
Okay and thanks for your help earlier, Seika-kun.
What?

 I asked back at the small muttered words, but Yifa didn't respond.
 Hmm? Oh well.

'I'm not going to move my head, but it's going to shake some. I'm holding on tight.
Yeah.

 Yifa huddles up and puts some strength into the arms she has turned.
