Chapter 249 - Country Of Sakura, Cherin And Seven Holy Swords [20]
249. Country of Sakura, Cherin and Seven Holy Swords [20]
We followed the president, and arrived at the beach on the east side of Hundred Million Year Sakura after a while.
There was a very beautiful sea and pure white sandy beach, but not a single person was to be seen swimming.
That’s because…
(Those waves are pretty violent.)
As Rose said, the tides are pretty fast.
With this, even sailing a ship would be difficult, let alone swimming.
And when I was staring blankly at the violent surface of the sea,
「Ah, look, Allen! This shellfish is very big!」
Ria pointed to a large spiral shell buried in the sand, her eyes sparkling.
「Oh, this is amazing.」
It was as splendid as the ones sold in a shop.
「It’s a “razur shellfish”. If you put butter around its mouth and steam it, it tastes excellent. I used to eat it with my grandfather at the end of our training session.」
Rose said, sounding nostalgic.
And then,
「Shellfish, butter… steamed!」
Dominated by appetite, Ria quickly looked around with sparkling eyes.
「L-Let’s look for it! There must be a lot more!」
「W-We just ate it a little while ago… And I don’t think we can eat it even if we look for it now though…」
As we were making noise on the sandy beach, a group in black clothes – the servants of House Arcstria – came towards us from the front.
They were all pushing bogies, and there was a big object of about one meter square placed on each of them.
Because a gray sheet was covered over them, it is not possible to know what’s inside, but… it seems to be quite heavy.
「What is that, president?」
「Fufu, the “fun” I prepared in regards to this spring training camp.」
「Oh right… You were certainly saying something like that before we left Ringard.」
「Fufu, I am sure everyone’s going to be surprised.」
She smiled like a mischievous child, and–
「Heeey, over here!」
Waved towards the servants.
「Thank you very much for your patience, Ojou-sama.」
The old gentleman who we saw a few times a little while ago, bowed deeply with elegant conduct.
「Thank you, this is so helpful.」
「Please don’t mention it. However, while this may come off as presumptuous, this is a product that has completed all safety tests, but it is still dangerous. Please be careful while handling it.」
「Thank you. But it’s alright. Everyone here doesn’t have that kind of soft body.」
「Indeed so… Please forgive this old man for over-speaking. Then, I wish you a comfortable “air trip”.」
The old gentleman said so, and led the group in black clothes away.
「「「「「…Air trip?」」」」」
As we tilt our heads, the president stripped off the gray sheet covering the object.
And there was,
「Ta-dah! Ultra-small flying glider – commonly known as “Glider”!」
A very modern machine shaped like a dragonfly without a tail.
