「Since Elena takes the initiative to undertake the defense, the other two people can freely concentrate on the offense.」
「Understood!」
Elena was a little fired up again.
Cutee~.
———-
After advancing for a while, a group of『Thunderheads』appeared.
「Everyone be careful!」
「「Yes!」」
Elena’s wall of water defends against the attacks of the Thunderheads.
Hilda creates several pillars of flame around the thunderheads using that opportunity.
It seems to be just like a『cage』made of flame pillars.
Although they don’t speak, the Thunderheads are frightened by the flame and move about in utter confusion.
I block the Thunderheads that were trying to escape from the cage using barrier.
「Aya, aren’t you going to use Downburst?」
「I’m trying to use it now!」
Using Wind Magic, Aya gathers the air, which was heated by the flame that Hilda created, together above the Thunderheads……
「Compressed, compressed, compressed the wind……」
「Oi, Aya, what are you doing!?」
「Don’t talk to me anymore because I’m concentrating!
Here it goes! DOOOOWN, BUUUUUUURST!!」
She shouts so like it was some killer move.
The burning hot air that Aya compressed,
became a terrible downdraft and directly hit the Thunderheads.
The Thunderheads were sucked in in order to be swallowed by the downdraft, and then, they dissolved and vanished.
「I did it!! It’s a huge success!!!」
Aya takes Elena and Hilda’s hands and happily jumps up and down with *pyon pyon*.
Well, even if you didn’t expressly use such a grandiose magic, it was the end if they were hit by Hilda’s flame just as they were, though……
Hilda probably wouldn’t mind for the sake of saving Aya’s face.
What a capable girl. I’ll pat her later.
Afterwards, there was no enemy that appeared so we advanced above the clouds smoothly
and along the way, Aya was thinking about various poses when using Downburst; it was so annoying.
You will fall from the clouds when you walk while doing such a thing!
After advancing for a while, we were able to find the stairs that leads to the upper floor smoothly.
***
When we climbed up the stairs, the fifteenth floor was also a sea of clouds.
However, the landscape we’re on this time seems to be a mountaintop;
only the mountaintop is sticking out above the sea of clouds, which makes it look like an island.
「The view in this floor is also good~.
The wind is also strong here, though.」
Right, the wind here is also strong.
The floors where wind is strong follows after another.
When I was thinking about such a thing――
「Seiji-sama! Over there!!」
Elena shouted and pointed towards the sky.
Kiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!
What appeared together with a gigantic chirp……
was a super huge bird.
Translator’s notes:
[1]It seems the author intentionally rearranged the characters. The raw says 雲入道; 雲 means cloud while 入道 priest/monk/bald-headed person/monster. It’s supposed to be Thunderhead入道雲, a rounded, projecting head of a cumulus cloud, which portends a thunderstorm.
