From the airship, which was still floating in the sky, I descended to the ground using its lifting function. As the bonfires lit up the area, the merchant and the others rolled their eyes and shouted at each other.
“S-Something’s coming down…… Uh-, b-baby?”
“He is the talking baby that the adventurers brought with them!”
“Why is that baby……?”
In contrast to the astonished merchant and his men, Anje and Fana greeted me with a look of, “You’re finally back.”
“You’re late. But it’s really floating in the sky huh……”
“Master, welcome back. That’s the suspicious ship huh.”
Apparently, they had heard the story beforehand from Lill, who had returned earlier. Lill’s ears and tail were drooping, and her body was shaking in frustration.
“I didn’t expect myself to fall into such a simple trap……! Uuuh-, from my awakening, this is the biggest mistake of my life!”
But that was a trap I made so it should be a given. Anyway, it seems that she is safe.
“I’ve got all the goods back.”
“What!?”
“It’s true! These are definitely ours……!”
I then threw the thieves who came down with me to the ground. All of them are still unconscious.
“I also caught a group of thieves.”
“F-for real!?”
“They are the ones that were never get caught until now!? And now you caught them just like that…!?”
Ignoring them, I faced Fana and the others.
“I have something I want to discuss with you guys, due to various circumstances, I have to return to Vegaltia right away. In this regard, I’ll leave the escort matter from here on to you guys.”
I am going to go back to Vegaltia with the elf Ryuna. The merchants have always thought of me as a baby who can talk, but that’s it. So there won’t be any problem if I leave.
“I don’t mind…… But, did something happen? Is it about that suspicious ship?”
“That ship is not suspicious at all. It’s an ancient magical tool that a group of thieves happened to discover and use.”
“Is that a magical tool……? I’ve heard that magic was more advanced in ancient times than it is now, but I never thought that such a thing was even made.”
I’m the one who made it.
“For the time being, I’ll take them to the Adventurer’s Guild.”
Then, with the bandits in tow, I returned to the ship. Ryuna was waiting in the wheelhouse.
“Sorry to keep you waiting Oneechan. I’m going to Vegaltia at full speed now.”
“Thank you!”
“But I have one request.”
“Request?”
“Yes. You see, this control panel is used to control this ship. However, it’s a bit hard for for me. Oneechan, can you hold me?”
“That’s easy!”
Ryuna immediately picked me up.
『…… Master, why don’t you just use that chair over there?』
(…… Yeah. Maybe I should have done that.)
『Eh? What’s wrong? ……Did you hit your head or something?』
(I didn’t)
Right now, I’m probably looking like I’m in sage mode.
(This elf’s chest is so flat! I can’t feel any bulge at all!)
『……I guess Master is Master after all.』
Come to think of it, the elven race are generally all small-breasted.
“What’s wrong? Should I adjust the height a little?”
“No, it’s okay to put me down now, Oneechan.”
Anyway, the reception window won’t open until morning, so we move leisurely and slowly. In the meantime, I decided to replenish the ship’s magic. This ship is powered by magic, but the battery level was already zero, and it was barely moving due to reserve magic. I don’t think the thieves knew how to replenish the magic on this, and it wouldn’t have been long before all functioned stopped anyway.
As night fell, the ship reached the skies above Vegaltia. The stealth feature of the ship has been turned back on. The existence of such airship does not seem to be common in this day and age, and the people of the city may panic.
“Alright Oneechan, I’ll lead you to the reception window.”
