364 - - Episode 362 Lucky Skebe

The dismantling of the light dragon revealed that Ruby's knife skills are as impressive as those of a master swordsman, and looking directly at the dragon's entrails caused some subtle psychological damage, but the dismantling and appraising are now complete.

I am revived by the healing power of Belle and the others who are happily pushing the meat to me, and I can forget about the entrails and think about the delicious dinner I'm going to have. I gave them the meat of a fire dragon to compare the difference in taste between the meat of a light dragon and that of an attribute dragon, so we will have a sumptuous dinner tonight. I'm looking forward to it.

"Okay, Ruby. Take care of Gina, Sarah, and Mel.

You're in good hands. Come to the store when it's time for dinner!"

"Okay, I'll walk you back in a bit."

"Yes, please, Sylphie."

With a wave of his hand, Sylphy took the three of them and flew away from the floating island with Ruby and the others. Oh, Fuchu, Puru, Sheba,...... Meral, you went with them,...... I don't mind if you're a contracted spirit, but there's nothing to do over there, is there?　No, Meral can at least help.

"Yuta, can we go to the showroom and play?"

Belle asks with an excited look on her face. She had heard Ruby's words.

"Yes, we're going to eat a lot of light dragon meat at Ruby's today.

"Woohoo, I'm going to tell everyone!"

Bell, who had been so excited, runs off to tell Rain and the others that they are going out to dinner tonight. Onyx told me that Belle and her friends sometimes use the Rakuen cafeteria on their own, but I wonder if they were happy to eat out with everyone.　The fact that the meat is from light dragons seems to be a high point.

When Belle reported that Rain and his friends were flying around the floating island, they cheered loudly and turned their flight into an acrobatic one. I like the way Belle and her friends express their emotions, because it's easy to understand.

"Hey guys, I'm going back first! Come back before dinner time!"

I watched them for a while, but they still didn't seem to have settled down. Sylphy has returned, too, so I decide to call out to Belle and the others and head back. They waved their hands at the sound of my voice and were excited to have dinner, so I guessed they would be back in time.

"Marco, Kikka, we should go back to the house. "Marco, Kikka, we should go back to the house... and go down the slide..."

I'll do it!

"Kikka too!"

"Okay, let's go. Sylphie, please...

For a moment I thought about taking the magic carpet home, but I decided against taking the kids for a ride. Nomos said it wouldn't run out of control, so it would probably be okay, but I was still afraid to take the kids on a ride without practicing.

"We'll just use the slide on the Spirit Tree, right?"

"Yes, I would appreciate it if you could drop me off at the tea place."

"Okay, let's go."

With the wind of Sylphy in the air, I arrive at the slide with Marco and Kikka.

"Do you want to go down the slide with us, Sylphy?"

"I'll pass. I'll wait for you downstairs. I'll pick you up if you fall.

"No, I won't fall off. I've done it a few times myself, and it's safe.

"Hmm, you know the word 'just in case'?"

I know, I mean, there's a word for that in this world too.

"I know, but I didn't want to hear it at this time. I'll be happy to help you if you need it."

It was built by amateurs, albeit with a wide safety margin. We cannot deny that there is a chance.

"Leave it to me."

Now you can rest assured that if something should happen, it won't. But I've never seen Sylphy sliding down a slide. Is she embarrassed?

Let's imagine Sylphy sneaking down the slide alone in the middle of the night. ...... Yeah, that doesn't look good. Also, Sylphy is looking at me with some embarrassment, so let's not think about it any more. If I'm not careful, the chance is about a tenth of what it should be.

"Master, I found a fun way to slide!　Watch!"

"What?　Oh, I think I went a little ......."

Marco slides down the slide head first on his stomach. Uri is standing on Marco's back with all four legs in a dignified manner.

But it seems that children on Earth and in other worlds think in a similar way. When I was a kid, I tried many ways of sliding. Mostly on water slides. ....... Just because adamantite is slippery, is it safe for Marco to put his face on the adamantite?

...... No, I've already done it a few times with that method, so I'm pretty sure it's okay. However, I don't think you will be able to see the scenery that way. It's quite beautiful in paradise with the spirit tree in view, isn't it?

"Master, watch how Kikka slides!"

Following Marco, Kikka is planning to ski in an unusual way. It's great to be active, but the ladies of paradise are getting more and more active.

"I'll be watching, but don't get hurt!"

"Yes!"

Kikka responded cheerfully and slid down the slope while sitting on her haunches with Mame in her arms. She said she could see the outside better this way, but it looked scary. But it was a good point that she was paying attention to the scenery.

I'm the only one left, should I do something special?　There are a few other unusual ways to ski, but the question is whether it's okay to hang out with them as a master.

......Children have a certain respect for those who invent amazing games. Sylphy will save me if I fall, so I'll show my apprentices how great I am. I've been thinking of using my secret weapon for some time: .......

"You slip too, Yuta! I'm going to slip too!

Before you know it, Dine appears and is already standing by on the slide. I have a feeling that Deene's presence and disappearance are becoming more and more sophisticated. Besides, Deanne seems to like the slide.

"This is the way to slide, sis."

Deanne went down the slope lying on her back with her feet down. She bragged about it, but that was just lying down from the normal style. I would say that this is the first type of skiing that a child who is tired of normal skiing would try.

...... I guess there's no point in telling Deanne. Deanne just skied, we should give her some time. My secret weapon is super speed!

I'm trying to look cool, but it's just a large wooden sled polished to a smooth surface, with a string for a handle. Still, it should be much faster than normal sledding.

It's time to go. We set the planks just at the edge of the slide and sit down carefully so as not to slide out suddenly. Here we go! Slowly move your center of gravity forward.

"Whoa!　I'm going faster than I expected!　I think I misjudged the compatibility of wood and adamantite..."

The sled moves forward with no friction, not even on the ice. You can barely control your speed except on the outer wall where your body is in contact with it. If the soles of my feet could touch the slide, I could manage, but I made the sled so large that there was no space ...... for my feet to set on the ground, making it a faulty sled.

Usually I have time to look at the huge spirit trees and the paradise and the view that there is nothing in the land of the dead, but this time I had no time to look at the view because of the unexpected.

Oh, if I open my legs and step on both sides of them, won't ...... my crotch split?　I believe that I can handle it at a higher level, a higher level of me, and I'll be fine.

"Aah!　Dene, avoid!　Look out!　Uppuah!"

"Aah!　Yuta?"

Dene appeared from behind a curve and slammed into him before he had time to avoid her. Oh, it's so soft!

"Yuta, I don't think it's right of you to attack me in a place like this, sister!"

"...... sorry, but I didn't attack you."

I apologize to Dine, who has her head on my stomach, as I have a little more time to spare now that I have combined with Dine and my speed has decreased. I apologize to Dine, whose head is on my stomach, and say that I'm the one who took the damage.

If I hadn't lifted Deene's head, I might have hurt her. But as a result of lifting my head, the sled slid under Deanne's head and stuck into my stomach with my legs open.

If the sled had hit a little lower, I would have fainted in agony from the damage to my vital organs. A blessing in disguise for Deene and for me, right?

"Yuta. I know you want to spoil your sister, but it's a little painful.

"Oh, sorry."

He was relieved that his son had survived, but he was still hugging Deanne. No ...... is this what you call a hug?　It was ...... soft, as if it was holding Dineh on her back from under her chest.

This is the kind of lucky skate that I knew existed, but it never happened to me. I thought it was an urban legend, but it did exist.

"So, Yuta, why did you chase after your sister?　Did you miss me?"

I untied her arms, but she was still talking to me, using my stomach as a pillow. Up close again, I think she's a beauty. She was wonderfully soft, and I would have fallen in love with her if it hadn't been for this sudden and incomprehensible thought process. In fact, the softness and the up-close look are making my heart pound.

"No, I wasn't chasing you, I was just using this sled to go faster than I thought I could, and I caught up with you.

"Wow, that sounds fun. Can you lend it to my sister?

"I don't mind lending it to you, but if you ride it normally, it's hard to brake and it goes really fast, so it's dangerous.

"I'm fine. If it gets dangerous, I can just fly or deactivate my materialization.

That too. If you fly, speed doesn't matter, and if you dismantle the materialization, it's physically invalid.

"I don't mind if you lend me your body, but we'll be arriving soon, so please get up."

"Well, sis, I think this way of sliding is fun too!"

I'd like to say it's not that kind of problem, but we arrived downstairs while I was trying to convince him. I'm sure Sylphy knows what's going on, but I'm afraid to look at Marco and Kikka.

At the end of the slide, there is a gentle angle, then a light climb of a few meters that slows us down, and we make eye contact with Marco and Kikka, who are looking at us from the side of the slide.

"Master. Did you and Deanne go down the slide together?　

I've skated with my sister, too. It's fun to ski together, isn't it?

Thank God Marco and Kikka are more innocent than I thought. I know I was a bit self-conscious, but it would have taken me a long time to get over it if they had called me filthy.

"We didn't ski together. I guess I was just going too fast with this sled and it caught up with me."

Marco and Kikka were looking at the sled with great interest, so I took the initiative and told them that the sled was defective and promised to make a safer one later if they wanted it, which they agreed to.

"My sister is a spirit, so this sled will be fine. I'm going to go now.

Deanne flew off with the sled in her arms. I'm sure she's a spirit, but she needs to keep up appearances in front of the children.
