「Nu. You finally came back」
Oh.
Come to think of it…
I could no longer see him around in the middle of the treasure hunt.
「Ado~ Hunted for treasures deshu~」
「Nu. So that was from treasure hunting~ The holes all over the prairie. Then, when are you going to hunt for treasures next? I will join you」
Ah~
It was just a sudden treasure hunt today.
「I’m exhausted so I’m good for today nya~」
「W, wha… you are already done…」
En-san looks lonely.
En-san silently looks at me.
「Maa, we will surely do it again sometimes, let’s have En-san participate that time」
Energetic En-san.
He’s brimming with energy.
「I’m sleepy from moving so much nya~」
Ado and Chiko rub their eyes.
They are already dozing off.
Tekuteku Tekuteku
「Suu~ Suu~」「Suu~ Suu~」
Indeed.
They were running around so much, after all~
That may be the proper outcome.
Sasa
Suu~ Suu~ Ado’s and Chiko’s fur are swaying.
They look very comfortable.
「Nu. Lord should also rest. You must have used a lot of magic during the treasure hunt」
Suta Petari
I lie down on the bed.
However…
What is it?
My amount of magic might have increased with the evolution.
But…
My eyelids got heavy.
I may enter the land of dreams~
A faint scenery comes to my mind.
That is… a space I have never seen before…
Someone is talking to me…
zzzzzzzzzzzz.
zzzzzzzzzzzz.
zzzzzzzzzzzz.
I wake up and have a breakfast as usual.
We gathered at a place En-san has told us about.
A place I can overlook the 48th floor from.
A vast dungeon is spreading below.
Hey.
Though I saw the bottom a bit before… this place is rather high.
Indeed, it’s too high.
This moment.
Suta
Ado has a fear of heights after all.
She probably got conscious of the height and started thinking how high this place is.
「Yoshyosh, Ado. Everything’s all right」
「Ado is not good with heights nya? How strange nya~」
She seems to be alright.
I think being afraid of heights this high is quite normal.
「Nu. Ado is so slovenly」
The pressure.
En-san was the one who told us「Anyway, I want you to come to this place」…
Just what does he want to do here?
「En-san, do you have something here?」
「Deshu~ Hiyunhiyun deshu~ Scaryscary deshu~」
「Fufufu. I intend to have you witness my challenge」
Nn?
Challenge?
En-san with a smart expression.
He has a philosophical atmosphere around him.
「What are you doing nya~?」
「I am going to challenge the heavens」
Heavens?
Is he going to the ceiling of this floor?
Although I can’t see the ceiling of this mysterious floor…
「Heavens deshu?」
「Right. I’m going to challenge the feat no one has done before. I learned about this while teaching the wyvern chicks about the sky. Then, it occurred to me. I will be able to reach the ceiling if it’s me…」
「Nyanya? Is that safe nya? The wind seems very very strong nya~」
「Absurd. Carefully observe me」
Powan Basabasa
En-san transforms into the big dragon form and jumps out the huge tree.
Zaza Zaza
En-san flaps his wings and steadily rises.
「H, high nya~」
「Yeah~」
Zaza Zaza
En-san’s altitude steadily increases.
When we rise our heads to follow…
Pikapikagoroon!
「Gyaaaaaaa!」
En-san is dropping with a black smoke coming out of his body.
「Nyanya? What nya~? A lightning inside a dungeonya?」
「Ah, there’s certainly a smoke」
He’s just like a falling airplane.
How~ever.
He flaps his wings and lands.
Yakitori, no Yakidragon En-san.
Powan
A burnt black dragon.
「En-san…」
「Deshu… There’s a smoke deshu」
「I was just a little careless. Indeed~ To think there would be a lightning… The damage is not a big deal. I was rather surprised」
I’m glad.
The dragon scales may be very tough.
「Kuu… I’m going to try one more time!」
En-san instantly turns into the big dragon and flies to the sky again.
Oh.
……
A great challenger.
「En is amazing nya~ Tough nya~」
「Un, un」
While watching the sky.
En-san flies up high in the sky…
Pikapikagoroon!
It came! The lightning!
Hiyoi
「Nyanya, En has dodged the lightning nya~」
「Right~」
But.
He avoided the lightning only for a brief moment.
Pikapikagoroon! Pikapikagoroon! Pikapikagoroon!
「Gyaaaaaaaaaaaa!」
「Nyanya…」
「En-san…」
En-san falls with a black smoke coming out of him again.
As expected, dodging three lightning strikes is too hard.
Batabatabata
He’s tottering a little.
En-san turns into the small dragon form.
He questionably falls to the ground.
「E, En-san, are you all right?」
「Deshu yo~ En is whole roasted deshu~」
En-san stands up and blows the smoke from his body.
「Hohoho. Indeed~ Who would have thought there would be three lightning strikes. But, do not worry~ It’s buzzing a little, but there’s no problem. I will recover if I lie down for a while」
A lively En-san.
The lightning struck as if it totally aimed at him.
It’s like someone shoot magic at him.
Does it mean it won’t let monsters approach the ceiling?
The questions don’t end.
「Then, let’s return to the room. It would be better for En-san to take it slow today」
「Ado also wants to become roasted deshu~」
「I shall lie down」
