Pretending to be a baby wyvern.
Pushed for flight training and falling to death.
Grand prize winner in the category of World's Most Foolishly Dead Snake!
As fierce wind struck my face.
As the dizzying sensation of falling spread through my body with a tingle.
That's what I thought.
'Isil, at least you survive.'
If it falls while attached to my body, Isil might get badly hurt too.
Light-bodied Isil would be fine if it separated.
Flick flick.
But who knew it would understand words so quickly.
Were you that smart?
Whoosh!
Like a fighter jet's cockpit being ergency ejected.
Isil whooshed off my body.
'Isil...!'
What is this feeling of betrayal?
This traitor chira plant.
Still. Live happily.
Even without , well.
Since it's too barren here.
Go a bit further south.
Stay with the triplets for now, until you grow a bit more.
Would these words reach Isil?
It seed they could.
Because 'Resonance lv2' was still working.
Isil's vine hands only work when touching my body... Ah!
'Isil!'
It hadn't run away alone.
It had 'jumped up' while keeping its vine hands on my body.
The reason for that was.
"Peeee!"
Pipi, who had already beco quite accustod to flying, ca flying this way.
I could feel her determined will to save her youngest brother.
But no matter what, this was flight learned just today.
It would be difficult to catch falling rapidly.
Here, Isil's bold decision helped.
Its long extended vine wrapped around Pipi's neck like a leash.
Strong tension was applied to my falling body.
"Sak!"
For a mont I thought my spine would all break.
Fortunately, Isil's vines had elasticity.
I bounced up high.
This ti there was a place to land.
The place I landed with a thud was on Pipi's back.
"Peeee!"
She roared as if proud.
Amazingly, she started flying while carrying .
"Kekeke."
"Chuik!"
Kei and Chui also followed alongside.
The wyvern triplets, one snake, and one vine grass flying.
"To be this skilled on their first flight. I guess wyverns really are princes of the sky."
So they were princes of the sky.
In fact, the three perford sothing like formation flying, albeit clumsily.
I was soone who really disliked flying.
Thanks to Potential 20 I could learn flying skills but there was a reason I didn't.
Because I had no wings from birth so I couldn't control direction even if I flew, and I was instinctively scared of heights.
However, now...
'...This is fun!'
I was enjoying flying through the sky.
Pipi's back wasn't very wide but it was enough for to ride on.
Originally it would have been scary with nothing to hold onto without hands and feet, but now Isil was attached tightly to .
Isil's vine wrapped around Pipi's neck felt like reins.
It feels like I've beco a wyvern rider.
Actually, that was correct.
'Let's go up!'
Whether she noticed the slight pull on the reins.
Or whether my will got through because I had tad her.
Pipi whooshed upward.
I could see the wyvern mom watching with a pleased expression from that nest above.
Though she probably hadn't predicted this would happen.
Seeing her happy makes feel good too.
The baby wyverns started getting properly accustod to flight.
The eldest sister Pipi was brave so her style was aggressive, and the second child Kei was the fastest among them.
'Let's switch rides, Isil!'
The mont Isil extended one vine long toward Kei, I leaped up.
It was a bit dangerous but a cool stunt.
This ti I rode on Kei and tried high-speed flight.
'If we add magic...'
「Using Basic Elental Magic: Fire lv7.」
I shot a fireball.
You know what?
If you fire a 100km/h BB gun straight ahead from a car going 100km/h.
The BB gun's speed becos 200km/h!
Is that right? Anyway, it must be sothing like that.
The fireball that normally flew slowly shot much faster.
Bang!
The fireball hitting and exploding on a stone pillar.
A sufficiently powerful strike.
'Next to Chui!'
"Chuiiik!"
I jumped from Kei and landed on the youngest's back.
The youngest who had succeeded in flight alone when we all fell from the nest before.
Indeed, Chui's flight was the most technical among the three.
Diving steeply then spinning once in mid-air was nothing short of acrobatic flight.
Usually such a crybaby, but fearless in the sky.
The best flyer among the three.
My mood elevated further.
'A complete legend appears.'
Should I say I discovered the true taste of flight?
We flew for quite a while.
And Pelerian and I realized sothing important.
"That's Delfram."
At this rate, it seed we could reach Delfram's dungeon.
'That stone tower?'
"My dungeon! That stone tower!"
In the distance I could see an area without stone pillars.
However, in the middle was one noticeably black stone tower.
Like a black obelisk.
'It looks different from the other dungeons from the start.'
"I nad it 'Gravestone'."
Pelerian wanted to go there when he died.
'What kind of dungeon is it exactly?'
I only asked because I still hadn't heard a detailed explanation.
Pelerian gave an unexpected answer.
"...I don't really know."
'What?'
"I don't have mories of what's inside."
Pelerian seems quite displeased about that too.
This old magician's soul beside now isn't his complete whole.
It's just a part of his soul hidden in a ring after being torn.
Therefore, while he has mories, there are often missing ones.
He must feel his own existence being threatened.
'We'll find out when we get there!'
"Y-yes, that's right!"
We'll know what's inside when we enter, right?
It's no different from before.
'Let's go!'
When I commanded "Saah!", my wyvern army (three babies) started flying toward the black tower.
Though they're still young and small, being able to fly is really convenient.
The distance that would take a long ti crawling started closing instantly.
At this rate it seed we could reach Pelerian's dungeon in no ti.
"Don't get too close, stop in front..."
Before we could stop after hearing Pelerian's words, a mighty roar shook heaven and earth.
"Kuooooo!"
Pitch black darkness covered us.
Though it was clearly midday, it suddenly felt like night had fallen.
The identity of the black curtain was the wyvern mom's wings.
She wrapped us in her huge wings and landed.
It was a rougher landing than expected. Enough to roll on the ground with a crash.
Wondering why she suddenly did that, I looked at the wyvern mom.
"Kugagaga!"
She was extrely angry.
Even though wyvern fear doesn't work on , I could feel that anger tingling.
"Pipiek!"
Even brave Pipi trembled in fear, and the other two siblings had already flopped over and were making a fuss.
Though the wyvern mom would usually end it at this.
