Chapter 14: Kaito welcomes them into the whale.

When we entered the Toyok.u.mo, the little girls started running around the place shouting amazing nya! What is this nya! Since their excitement was at its peak.

To the two, Balaina skillfully guided with as she followed them closely so that they don’t get. ...this girl, she’s already mastering the art of babysitting in such as short time.

As for Sena, she was as curious about the place but she felt responsible for caring Nao as the eldest, and thus refrained from asking questions.

After walking for a while, we finally arrived at the vivisection lab. The capsule specialized in medicinal use in the lab, should be able to save Nao. After I explained to them about my idea, Sena looked back and forth between the capsule and me and nodded.

“..We, We are in your care”

Well, of course you would be afraid. You were just asked to place your important sister inside this suspicious metal casket like thing, you wouldn’t just give out the answer immediately. Despite that, she still nodded, so I must show her that her trust is not wasted.

I carried Nao, who was still sleeping inside the capsule and confirming that she was placed properly, I closed the lid and started operating the machine.

I chose body scan, stabilization of stamina, and operation on diseased part. The machine started operating the selected commands, and displayed the current progress in the display. After waiting for about 20 minutes, finally, the word, completed, appeared on the display.

Soon, the capsule opened, and Nao looked way healthier than before showing how much she has healed from before. Even the pattern on her body disappeared.

“Um, Umm, Is this the end of it?”

“Yeah, this is the end.You can already see it from her face but yeah she is fine now. All we have to do now is wait for her to wake up.”

“I...see. Aa~~, this is greate~~!”

Sena fell on her knees as if every energy in her left her body. If I can, I would love for them to stay here to rest, but unfortunately, having them stay inside Toyok.u.mo for any longer would be no good.

“Sena, I’m sorry but can we move to somewhere else?”

“...eh? Aa, right. But, to where?”

“We go up again”

Saying so, I laughed.

“Unya~! We are above Cloud nya~!” “This is Amazing nya~!”

As we got out to Toyok.u.mo’s back, the little girls started to cause a ruckus again as they ran around.

“Ha~, So there is a place like this~”

I apologized to Sena who said so looking grealtly impressed.

“I’m sorry about that. To bring you to such a place. But there are reasons I can’t let you stay inside for too long”

“No, please don’t apologize. We are already under favour that we can’t return even with our lives, for saving nao, so there really is nothing for us to complain”

She smiled as she said so, while adjusting Nao in her back so that Nao didn’t fall.

“...But, if they went to the edge they might fall right? Will they be fine, I wonder~”

“Oh that, you don’t have to worry. Even if they fall, there is some contrivance that prevents them from falling directly to the ground. But even then, it wouldn’t be good if they fall”

Even if they were to fall, the safety machine will automatically manipulate the gravity and bring them back. This setting was set when I was trying to fish the cloud fishes.

“I see, then they should be fine”

“Right. I’ve prepared a place for you guys to take a rest. Follow me.”

I started walking as I led Sena and her group, to the place I prepared beforehand. In there, a house similar to the ones inside Toyok.u.mo stood still. When I decided to heal Nao with Toyok.u.mo, I commanded the worker robots through remote control to build this house.

“...This is a house? It has some unusual shape”

“Yup. But inside there is a proper bed, toilet, or even baths so it should be good enough”

“Haa, I see. Eh, then?”

“Yup, Sena and your family could use it as you guys pleases. You can even stay until Nao’s fully rested. The food is a bit not so great, but the food is plenty”

“I, is it alright for you to do so much for us? This seems like a confidential location, us staying may cause problems for you”

“Staying inside may be bad but in here, it is all good. If you need anything, you can tell me, I will prepare it to the best of my ability”

Saying so I looked at Balaina who was distracted by the little girls.

“Balaina, I will leave the responsibility to you. I will have to leave for now”

“Understood, Captain Kaito”

“Hmm? Are you going somewhere?”

“Aa~, right. I will be back in no time”

To me who started to walk away, Sena loudly shouted

“Mr Kaito! Thank you very much for saving my little sister!”

I thought of turning back, but I decided to wave back with my arm and left it at that.

After leaving Sena and the guys, I wore Oxygen mask and jumped off Toyok.u.mo. Then, using mini gravity control device I started to fly towards the place that I needed to go.

After operating on Nao, one thing came to light thanks to the whole body inspection. Is that Nao's Mana blockage has a high rebound percentage despite the surgery. Meaning, if we leave it as it is Nao requires constant surgery in her life. With that, I can’t call her fully healed.

To fix this problem, after a few searches we found the existence of device that prevents the rebound from outside.But to make this, it required a precious material. That is the Grand Holy Dragon’s imperial wrath.

We’ve already investigated the location for the dragon’s nest the sacred mountain with drones. After the incident between the dragon and I, I worried that it may have died so I already was investigating his whereabouts.

Thankfully, that guy --- Israphel is alive.

“To think that this time I would be the one to seek him”

Honestly, I can’t help but curse at how ironic the world is
