Chapter 236: 239

Chapter 239 - Hot Air Balloon

　Gran and I started making a hot air balloon together.

　First of all, I told him about the simple structure and mechanics of the balloon.

　To put it simply, the air inside a bag made of cloth is heated to a high temperature to generate buoyancy and make it float.

　To do this, a device that generates high temperatures is necessary, and this device involves the usage of flame ore.

　The cloth part is made of a durable material that is resistant to heat and tear-resistant.

　For this purpose, we decided to use the hairs from creatures other than the goats.

　Valkyrie hair.

　Valkyries are mysterious animals that do not mind getting into hot water, and it seems that their hair is also quite fire-resistant.

　In fact, I had tried making fabric from Valkyrie hair before.

　The fabric created using the pure white hair of the Valkyries was beautiful.

　It was probably even finer than the best of the goat hair fabric.

　However, I decided to not sell that fabric.

　Or rather, very few people knew that there even was fabric created from Valkyrie hairs.

　The goats' hair grew quickly, but not the Valkyries'.

　I was worried that if I got carried away and clipped their hair, they might not survive the winter, even though they are such astounding Familiars.

　So, after the first trial, the use of Valkyrie hair was forbidden.

　Nevertheless, the fabric I made at that time still existed.

　I used that to make the balloon.

　The fabric is flame-resistant, lightweight, and strong.

　Gran and I attached a basket underneath the balloon for people to ride in.

　In the middle of the basket, there is a flame ore processed by Gran.

　Pouring mana into this should produce flames and lift the balloon into the sky.

"Ok, it is done, Gran. Let's take a ride now!"

"I'm scared... I want you to ride alone, degozaru."

"Why? I need an engineer in case of emergency. Besides, it's important to have a feel for what it's like to actually use it if you want to build more!"

"I apologize, but I just cannot ride this thing. I don't like it, that I don't. I don't think I can fly using it, either. Even if it did, it would probably crash soon..."

"Everything'll be fine! Trust me, Gran."

"No, no, no, I don't want to. I can't do it. Isn't it you who said that you wanted to fly, Ars-dono? Then it is best for you to try it yourself, that it is!"

"Nn, it's fine for me to ride, but I don't feel comfortable by myself. I'd like someone else to ride with me..."

"I understand, that I do. I shall bring someone to fly in the sky with Ars-dono, degozaru. Please just wait."

　Gran and I completed the balloon together.

　However, Gran said he didn't want to ride in the hot air balloon.

　How heartless of him, leaving me by myself.

　But I can't help but wonder what would happen if something were to happen while it was flying.

　Even more than that, though, I wondered if this could actually fly properly.

　Oh, I forgot.

　I should have made a parachute just in case.

　It was when I was thinking about that after Gran had disappeared.

　It seemed that the guy had returned.

　He brought two people with him.

　They were people I knew well.

"What's wrong, Ars-nii? Gran-san came crying to me..."

"No, he's just freaked out that I'm going to attempt flying using this machine that Gran and I made together. What do you say, Kyle, you want to take a balloon ride with me?"

"Hmmm, it sure looks scary, doesn't it? Is it going to be okay?"

"Maybe. You'd have to take a test ride to find out for sure."

"I see, I see. I can ride with nii-san."

"I'm impressed with you, Kyle. Okay, so Kyle's riding with me... are you also gonna come with us, Thanatos?"

"Yeah, I would, Ars."

"We should be coming right back after finding out some logistics. Well, the three of us are going for a ride. Gran, make sure you get a good look at us flying in the sky in this hot air balloon. I'll make you wish that you had been on that first test ride yourself."

"I understand, degozaru, Ars-dono. I will observe the balloon from the ground, that I will. That is also necessary to confirm the trial run, after all."

"Ara, ara, let's just leave it at that then. Alright, we're going to get going. Secure yourselves in the basket, both of you."

　As if practiced, Kyle and Thanatos get in the basket, and I go in last.

　Then I put my hand on the center of the basket and chanted, [Mana Injection].

　The flame ore reacted to the mana it was being fed and a flame appeared at the top.

　The air inside the balloon was heated by the flames and expanded, causing the fabric to expand like a balloon.

　The flame ore continues to emit flames.

　And finally, the time had come.

　The balloon seemed to flutter for a moment, and then it gradually lifted.

　Slowly, slowly, the basket we were riding in floated up and away from the surface of the earth.

　Hooray!

　It's a success~

"Hey, look, Kyle. We're flying."

"Yes, that's true, Nii-san. But, wow, it really worked...!"

"We're not done yet, Kyle. It's going to go higher. We'll be able to see Barcania from right above it."

　The balloon was going up and up and up.

　This was also my first ballooning experience.

　I was quite excited.

　We were soaring higher and higher in the hot air balloon.
