Twilight of Shepherd and Calamity

Ch42.5 Sentimental moment(short story)

(Location: In the earthpuse passage)

"COoOo------COoOoOo--------"

"Huh?" Velvet is surprised by the call of the DOVE follower. Then she facepalmed, so this little thing follows them all along, how can she forget about it. To think that Ophelia may laugh so hard on the other sides when she may see their activities via this bird, she wants to eat her already.

"What's in all a sudden?" Mikleo questioned since the bird doesn't make a sound until now.

"Low in battery?" Sorey guessed.

"Bienfu, do you know anything about it?" Eleanor asked.

"Hmm??" Bienfu pondered when he is asked but he can't come up with an answer in a sudden. It should be an important thing but he can't memorize it at the moment.

Suddenly the DOVE stops its long-beep ringing and stop swinging its wings, falled on the ground with its stomach facing the sky. Its limbs and wings wriggle like poisoned Cockroach struggling before dying on the ground, it seems like it ran out of battery. Sorey carefully picked it up and put it into his backpack while Eleanor is trying to stop Velvet from destroying the mechanic bird. People here start to think that is a signal of low battery and they continue the way to back their place and Bienfu is still wondering about the signal.

Strangely, it is supposed to be a straight way when they come, yet now the way topple down in a mess. Even for a rock seems strong and in a whole piece, it breaks when they just steps on it, finally falls into the sea of energy. The sea seems burning like lava as energy columns raised up from it and you definitely don't want to fall into it.

"That's how the Reaper's Curse works?" Mikleo exclaimed with sweat dropping.

"Pretty much but I don't expect the earthpulse topple down like this, we didn't experience this even with Eizen."

"Then it will be something making the earthpulse unstable, like someone other than the Empyrean using the energy from earthpulse." Edna analyzed.

"......someone?" Mikleo questioned.

"Bien...!! I remember now, the signal call of the DOVE lately, that's an emergency call, something is happening!" Bienfu interrupted and exclaimed with horror expression, he doesn't want to imagine what is happening.

"......You don't mean?!" Eleanor tensed when seeing Bienfu terrified reaction.

"....Let's get going." Velvet suggested.

"Under such a situation?" Mikleo questioned when seeing the following path rumbled down. There is a certain distance from here to the other side.

"Bienfu, would you mind to summon the skateboard for us?" Sorey kneeled down and asked.

"Okay............But keep the number of passengers as small as possible please, it will be a very quick ride....." Bienfu added with descending volume.

"Okay, just like before."

"Fine with that."

Due to the emergency, no one complains, this is the most convenient and comfortable method. After the passengers, including the newly added Eternal, enter the bodies of their contractors, only Sorey and Velvet remain as skateboard passengers.

After Sorey and Velvet both got on the skateboard, Bienfu, who was often in trouble, let the skateboard speed ahead at the beginning.He didn't care about his physical strength and the feelings of the people standing on it. the speed of Skateboarding was far better than when he was fighting the dragons with Velvet. The speed is comparable to that of a meteor, and it is afraid that he can't do anything when he burns out.
