Chapter 7: The road to the Sky City

Information about the sky city is being gathered while were taking a brief rest.

Theres some found about the floating city among them.

However, the location of the gate which leads to the essential city isnt clear

I wonder if it will take longer?

I muttered while looking over the documents gathered in my room.

Still, theres no sign of the queen on the sky city moving even if Im ruling all the queens on land.

I think they normally should take action as I take down the queens in succession.

Is she careful or arrogant? Or she doesnt care about the surface?I cant guess it

Theres only a few number of human who came in and out and the information isnt collected, Aisha doesnt also know the details in the sky city.

Its no joke if we rushed to a trap, I want some detailed information

Waiting for information is irritating

Weve been advancing pretty good until now, getting stuck makes me mad.

Should I practice magic to kill time?

The door opened first when I said that and was about to go out of the room.

Excuse me master!

uo!?

Since she came in without knocking, they clashed as they cant avoid it.

Though they didnt fall down, it was still dangerous.

Furthermore, another one entered the room.

Hey Leona! You dont have to hurryAah, What did I tell you?

Yarina was following her.

It ended without becoming a domino accident.

I arranged my clothes and let the two come in.

Leona, what makes you hurry?

I talked to them after giving them a seat to calm down.

Yes, actually, I have obtained information about the gate that leads to the sky city

Oh, thats good. I was waiting impatiently here

Actually, thats the reason Im going out.

Then, where is it?

Yarina is the one who answered the question this time.

The edge of this continent. Thats why the communication was delayed

Yes, its on the opposite direction of the Shrine Maidens country. Theres also no human who can warp casually like Ryuu-sama

Is that so? It cant be helped

I always use it so I forgot that its not easy to use.

We used human wave tactics. Theres no way to escape with either physical or magic either

Because it took a country to mobilize, it would be strange if its not found.

However lets move immediately if the location is found.

Lets move ahead of time. How are the preparations of the military unit for capturing the sky city?

Leona answered.

It cant be helped as theres a thousand in number after all.

Then well go to that gate. Well confirm ahead so we can make smooth progress

Lets seeYarina will be the guide, Elena Ria and Olivia should be fine as guard. Ill leave the command and preparation of the capture force to Leona

Roger. Then, Ill be calling the two

Afterwards, the two were added and the four of us headed to the gate at the edge of the continent.

We have reached a miserable country town by warp.

Is the gate connecting to the Sky City in this place?

Yes thats right. Its said that theres a church at the outskirt of the town

Yarina answered Elena Rias doubts.

Well, this cant be found in ordinary means.

We advanced while being guided by Yarina.

Then we arrived at the destination which is the church.

It looks old but its firmly made. Its much more splendid than the houses on the town

Just as Olivia said, it looks inappropriate along with the houses on the town a while ago.

I opened the three meter big door and entered.

You, wait!

But I was stopped by a voice from the side.

Looking at it, there are two women wearing a nuns habit.

No good, this place is closed to public

I cant say that. Anyway, go back

The girls are stubborn

Dont be absurd. Elena Ria

Acknowledged

Elena Ria whos behind me immediately dashed out and the two were knocked down and tied up.

They werent given time to counterattack.

It got even more suspicious that theres a guard. Lets go in

I took the three and entered the church.

Hey, is there someone here!?

A person appeared inside when I called out.

Oh, who are you?

Im Miura Ryuta, you can call me Ryuu. The ones on my back are my companions

Saying that, she looks surprised.

Theres no man in this world that can take a woman as attendant.

Ill get straight to the point. Is there a gate that connects to the Celestial maidens sky city here?

Yes there is

Though her expression became fierce, she answered my question.

I cant see them outside but where are the girls?

Is that so? Though theres a gate, we cant let you pass if you have no permission from the celestial maiden. Please release them and return

She refused with a clear and calm tone.

Shes got some nerves of steel.

Whatever you say, were going to the Sky City. Could you let out the Gate?

Saying that, I approached the sister.

Or do you want to be eliminated by our force?

Even if youre four, I dont think that those who cant even kill those two and bound them can win. However, I wont confess whatever torture you do

The sister remains in her firm attitude.

Then, if the celestial maiden knew that her people was wounded, shell defeat you without fail. Thats why I recommend you to go back before its too late

I see, she has the absolute confidence of being the top.

It seems that the celestial maiden is quite trusted.

Im looking forward to meeting her.

Oh, defeated without failyou say?

Let me return those words to you

Yes?

The sister frowned her eyebrows as she cant understand.

Why do you think we were able to come here? The gate in the ground thats been hidden until now?

Thats by coincidence?

I laughed at the sister who returned unconsciously.

Hahaha, you dont know anything!

Im ruling all the queens on the ground. Whats left is the celestial maiden on the Sky City

The sisters eyes popped out.

No way, theres no way the Queens would lose to a man like you

Ill show you the evidence. The two behind me are the Former Empress and Former Saintess

The two of them stepped forward when I mentioned them.

Is that true!?

The majestic appearance of the girls are above ordinary so the sister realized that its true.

You get it now right? The Sky City has nowhere to run

Is that so? The queens on the surface

The sister looked down but looked up immediately

However, ruling all in the surface doesnt mean that you can win against the Celestial Maiden thats ruling in the sky. The result will be the same

I thought that shed be confused from my talk but it seems that she have yet to doubt the victory of her master.

I respect you for going that far. You really are trusted by your people1

But, no matter who my opponent is, nothing will change.

Then, Ill show it to you. The power that ruled the surface

Saying that, I activated my charm magic like usual.

Now, Sister. How far can your loyalty go?

I am looking forward to the development.
