A Different Start

Chapter 6

"Waa!"

W-wha... it's beautiful up here! The forest sure is vast... no wonder. A person ruling this kind of land'd be pretty lucky. Quite beneficial.

Velzard: "Gomen na, Rimu-kun, But I'll have to go a bit faster, you can enjoy the view next time."

"Y-yeah, oka-"

Too fast! No, it's better. We gotta save Shizu-san fast!

|Front Gate of the Dwelling Of Spirits |

(Yosh! We're finally here. Velzard-san already went back to her human form (I think).) I thought as Velzard-san went ahead, froze the gate before breaking into pieces.

Velzard: "Rimu-kun, follow me."

"Un..."

(Scary... Velzard-san is scary... No wonder Veldora tried to reason with me. Self-note and reminder! Never angry this woman...), I thought as she walked down the hallway while I bounced, my slime body's noise resonating within the hall.

It's giving hunted house vibes...

???: "Hihihi..."

Yep, hunted.

Wait, what? Child giggles?

Oi oi oi. You've got to be kidding me! I mean, I get it, unknown world, dragons, slimes, and goblins, but ghosts?!

???: "Hihihi..." , "Children like you people should go ho-"

Velzard: "I have no time to deal with your games, Demon Lord Ramiris, The Fairy Queen."

('Fairy'?) I asked internally as I looked around, not like I have to since I have magic sense, but it doesn't matter.

Velzard: "Come out this instant!"

Ramiris: "Hai!! Ramiris at your service!"

Velzard: "I'll go straight to the point, I need a high-level spirit."

Ramiris: "Eh? Even if you say that, it's the spirits themselves that choose whether they are willing to-"

Velzard: "Just bring us to the site."

Wow, what a reliable woman to have.

Ramiris: "By your command!"

| Prayer Hall |

Ramiris: "And oh, by the way, take note that the person that wants a spirit will be the one that has to pray."

Well, I already know that because Raphael-san informed me of it while riding Velzard-san.

A/N: 'Riding Velzard' sounds so wrong in so many damn ways. I just know that I'm not the only one who thought of this even though I'm the one who wrote it... I can't describe or write how I want it to come out as so deal with it.

But, the problem is... Shizu-san isn't in the best condition to pray...

Tch...

(Time's ticking dammit!)

"B-"

And just when I was about to speak, Velzard-san walked towards the center of the platform. She looked up, her eyes glowing dangerously yellow. A few seconds later, a barrier covered me and little tinker bell before she released a bit of her aura. The whole place shook, cracks beginning to form, and yet, despite all those, the barrier remained intact.

(As expected of Velzard-san...)

Little Tinker Bell doesn't seem too happy with this, but all she can do is just shiver in fear. After all, Velzard-san is a true dragon, the strongest one alive at that, while she's just a mere fairy. What harm can it do to a dragon?
