The day after I played Jenga with Elinora's sister.

　I was in my room as usual, training to increase my magic power, when it occurred to me.

''Maybe I should transition to the royal capital for a bit.

　I went to the port city of King's Landing, Esport, Kagura and a place far enough away so that I could go there at any time by transference, but I've never gone there by transference until now.

　Last time, I transferred to Kikka to look for slime, but I had the misfortune of encountering Erinora's sister. And I couldn't find any more slime than I expected.

　Maybe that's why I've been thinking about transferring to the capital, but I haven't been able to act on it.

　There's no practice today, and Elinora sister, who comes to detect something, is also going to the vigilante's practice.

　It's a good time to practice transference.

　It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for. It's a great way to fulfill your daily routine of training to increase your magic power at the same time and kill two birds with one stone.

　With that in mind, I immediately put on my shoes and leave the house and head for the grassy field.

　Yes, there are no people around. It looks like it's safe to shift here.

　After carefully checking the surroundings, I built up the magic power in my body to transfer and pictured the scene of the royal capital in my mind.

　There were many dense incidents in the royal capital. Various scenes come to mind.

　Among them, the most memorable one is probably the one where Eric and I escaped into the air after being chased by rotten girls.

　The horrible number of rotten girls chasing us in the back alleys - but the scene in the air where we could look down on the streets of the royal capital was so beautiful and spectacular.

　Even now, even though quite a few days have passed, I can still vividly recall it.

　As I recall that scene, the magic power in my body suddenly enveloped me.

''Oh, shit.''

　The moment I thought that, the transition was triggered. My body suddenly felt like it was floating softly.

　And the next moment.

　Instead of the grasslands of the village of Coriat, my vision switched to the sky far above the royal capital.

　In front of me was the upper floor of the majestic Misfirito Castle, with the clear blue sky spreading out endlessly. There were white clouds floating lazily closer than usual, and the warm sunshine poured down on me.

　It was only for a short time that I enjoyed the view. Now that I've been transferred into the air, I have no foothold.

　Therefore, I'm falling headlong from far above the royal city.

　My vision changes from the clear blue sky to the cityscape of the royal city.

　And it's approaching with increasing speed.

''Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

　Bungee jumping from above the royal capital, which I hadn't expected. Moreover, there was no lifeline, no cushion underneath, nothing. It would be useless to prepare a cushion for a fall from such a height.

　Facing the unprecedented danger to my life, I couldn't help but let out a shameful scream.

　Oh no, oh no, oh no!　I'm going to die for sure!

　While those impatient words are floating around, the city below is getting closer and closer. The time limit of my own life is dwindling with every passing second.

　The object that is me falls from the sky, cutting through the atmosphere around me.

　Or rather, the wind pressure on my body is great. I'm sure my face is in trouble right now. I'm sure I'm in a lot of trouble because of the tears and snot that are coming out of my face.

'I mean, this is no time to be thinking about that!

　I thought about this in a semi-reality-defying way, but that's not the point.

　Even as I was doing this, the distance between me and the ground was getting closer. If this is the case, I'm sure I'll hit a building or the ground and die.

　I have to use magic or whatever to find the possibility of surviving........!

　And then I remembered as I thought impatiently.



　That's right, you can return to your room or land on your own with transference magic. I have a magic that boasts of absolute safety called transference by spatial magic. With that, a situation of this magnitude can be handled in any way.

　If you think of it that way, you won't be afraid of lifeless bungee jumping. No, it's pretty scary to actually do it, though.

　When I remembered about the transfer, my impatience from earlier was wonderfully gone and I suddenly became calm.

　Falling from the sky above the royal capital is very scary. I should use the transference as soon as possible before I pass out or something.

　You've come all this way to the capital. I want to at least take a stroll.

　I thought so, and instead of my room, I took a look at the building where I landed with Eric and checked my vision.

Transition!



　You're not going to be able to do that.


　Today I look up at the sky from my bedroom window.

　Ever since the day I saw the two boys in the sky above the King's Landing, I have made it a routine to look up at the sky from my bedroom window.

　If I do this, I hope that the two boys from that time will appear in the sky again. I think of that faint hope.

'It's another beautiful day, isn't it?'

Yes.

　While I am leisurely gazing at the sky, Sarya, who is standing beside me, smiles and says, "I've been looking up at the sky more and more often since I started looking up.

　Ever since I started looking at the sky, there are many days when Sariya looks up at the sky like this.

　That doesn't mean that Sarya doesn't care about the boy too. Perhaps she is just bored with taking care of me, who rarely leaves her room.

　But thanks to you, we can talk like this, looking up at the sky and chatting while watching the city together.

　It's a lot of fun and I like to look out the window with Sarya.

　As I'm in a good mood and looking out, a breeze comes in softly from outside.

　The breeze caresses my skin and I can't help but squint as it feels good.

'It's a nice breeze,'

But won't you get cold if you're in the wind all the time?　Even though it's summer, the temperature in this room has dropped due to Leila's ice magic, and...

　I can use ice magic, so during the summer season when the temperature is high, the cold air from the ice magic lowers the temperature in the room.

　That's why this room I'm in is so cool and comfortable, it's hard to believe it's summer.

　That's why Sarya must be worried about me getting sick from the wind.

''I'll be fine. I'm good at ice magic, so I can adjust the temperature so that you don't get sick.''

　I reply to Sarya, who sounds worried, with a confident smile on her face.

　I have been unable to walk since I was little, and I have been exposed to magic ever since I can remember. In fact, it was difficult for me to even move around the royal castle, so there was nothing for me to do but magic.

　Therefore, I am reasonably confident in my control of magic.

''Having said that, last year you caught a cold from your own cold air, didn't you?

　I twist around to escape Sarya's still gaze.

　However, I couldn't escape properly in the narrow wheelchair and got turned around.

　Ugh, if only this wheelchair was wider.....

''Well, I had perfect control of my magic, you know?　I would have adjusted to a more comfortable temperature that day as usual!

''Even if you can control your magic and regulate the temperature, it won't do you any good if you can't keep track of your condition. Even if it's only because Leila's body isn't very strong.

　Uggh, you're absolutely right Sarya.

　No matter how much you can regulate the temperature, it's useless if you're not making sure it's the right temperature for you at the time.

　I'm a dumbass for catching a cold in the middle of summer with my own ice magic.

'You'll still be looking at the sky today, won't you?'

Yes.

'Then I'll bring a blanket for you to put on. If it's too hot, you can just put it on your leg.

Yes.

　When I nodded honestly at her, Sarya nodded with satisfaction and moved away.

'Thank you for everything, Sarya,'

'No, no, it's my duty to take care of Leila's health.

　Sarya smiles and walks out of the room, probably to get a blanket for the other room.

　The room is instantly quiet and I turn my gaze to the sky again.

　It's a nice blue sky today. When the weather is this nice, I naturally feel energized.

　When it's a nice day like today, I wonder if those two boys will suddenly appear again.

　However, it's been two months since the day.

　I have been looking up at the sky every day without fail, but those boys have never been seen.

　If they haven't been seen for such a long period of time, I must have misjudged the scene at that time. I often think so these days.

　Was the scene I saw that day just an illusion that I created because I was yearning for the outside world?

　I couldn't leave the castle, hoping that the boys would take me out.

　Because it's strange that the boys are playing in the sky. It's a skill that shouldn't be able to be done even if you have the skill of magic.

　After all, that might have been an illusion created by my desire........

''Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

　As I'm lying face down with these thoughts, I suddenly hear what sounds like a scream.

　The sudden scream startled me and I looked around the room in a panic.

　However, the owner of the voice is not there. Rather, the direction of the voice that I heard was clearly outside.

''What?　Are you outside, by any chance?

　As I followed the direction of the voices, I hurriedly looked out the window.

　And then, there it is.



　--The person who looked like the boy I saw that day was falling headlong from the sky.



"....A person is falling from the sky?

　Suddenly the situation is so sudden and incomprehensible that I just stare at the phenomenon there.

　Rather, the situation is so sudden that I can't keep up with it.

　What is happening?

　The boy falls headlong from the sky while a large number of question marks fill my head.

　Is the boy not expecting the current situation? He is struggling in the air, making strange noises, I don't understand.

　When I saw him in this situation, I realized that he was in great danger.

Oh my God!　If we don't, that boy is going to fall to the ground!

　What would happen if it hit the ground at that height and that fast? Just imagining it gives me the creeps.

　I have to save her somehow!　

　But I don't know how to help a boy in that condition.

　The way to save the boy is to somehow stop his fall.

　However, the ice magic and water magic I can use cannot stop the fall.

　It is faster for the boy to hit the ground while chanting in the first place.

　What should I do!　

'Leila, I brought you a blanket.

　Just as my mind was confused and panicked, Sarya came back at just the right time.

'Sarya, it's terrible!　A boy fell from the sky!　If I don't, I'll die!

Yes?

　As I desperately call for help, Sarya rushes over, though she doesn't understand.

'There's a boy in the sky!'

　Sarya looks out the window as I point to the sky with my finger.

　However, the expression on Sarya's face was not one of astonishment like mine, but one of doubt.

''........Leila?　There are no boys in the sky, though?

'I'm here!　Look, there's a boy upside down right there!　....Huh?　I don't see you anywhere, do you?

　I looked at the sky as if devouring it, but the boy was not there.

　........Don't you think the boy was knocked to the ground and died?

　I feel my blood drain away as I arrive at that fact, and I feel a rush of blood.

'What is it, Leila?　You look very pale.　I knew the temperature in the room was cold, wasn't it?

　Sarya says something off the mark, but that's not the point.

　The boy's fall may be a cruel sight.

　There may be a sight that makes me want to look away. Still, I look at the place where he would have fallen with magic in my eyes.

　The area where the boy fell was, as I recall, home to a theater famous for its Dragon Slayer plays.

　If a person fell in such a crowded place, they would have screamed and panicked - wouldn't they?

　I am looking at the front of the theater with magical eyes, but the square in front of the theater is quite peaceful. As if a play is just finished in the theater, people come out of the building in a rush.

　It was just like the usual peaceful scene in the royal city.

　It's strange.

　If people fell from above and hit the ground, the people living there would notice.

　Could they have fallen into an alleyway with few people on the street?

　It's possible that if, and this is where we should investigate.

''........Sarya, would you please investigate the front of the theater?　The boy must have fallen in that area.

An investigation?　Did you see the boy fall from the top of the building?

'No, sir!　The boy I saw in the sky that day fell in the area of the theater!　So I want you to go see it!

Huh, huh... that boy in the sky?

　Sarya is confused by my words.

　Even I would be wondering what she is talking about if it wasn't for her position.

'Yes, I saw the boy I saw then fall from the sky to the ground.

''...Okay. This is a request from Leila, who rarely asks for favors. I'll have a knight of my acquaintance survey the area around the theater.

　Sarya had a dubious look on her face, but she saw the seriousness of my expression and nodded.

''Thank you, Sarya.''

I hope that boy is safe.
