251. Country of Sakura, Cherin and Seven Holy Swords [22]

I lifted the glider off the bogie and gently lowered it to the ground.

(It’s much lighter than it looks.)

The total weight might not even reach 10kilograms.

And when I was ready to test drive, the president began to explain.

「First of all is how to start the glider. You hold the steering wheel in the middle of the glider and pour in your spiritual power. That way, the power system will start running and the glider will slowly hover.」

She continued on.

「The basic operation is very easy. If you move your center of gravity to the right, it moves to the right, and if you move your center of gravity to the left, it moves to the left. When you want to raise the altitude, pull the steering wheel up, and when you want to lower it, push it down. When you want to accelerate, pour in a lot more spiritual power, and when you want to slow down, just reduce your spiritual power.」

「I see…」

The operation method is very easy-to-understand in a bodily sense.

「Well then, Allen-kun. Go ahead.」

「Okay.」

I got onto the glider, and gripped the steering wheel tightly.

And then,

「Allen, be careful.」

「If the machine behaves strangely, put on your dark robe and escape immediately!」

Ria and Rose said, worried about my wellbeing.

「Yeah, thanks.」

I exhaled greatly and slowly poured in my spiritual power. The four wings that were folded on both sides stretched out, and they started flapping at high speed.

「W-Wow!」

As a result, the glider slowly rose on the spot.

「I-It’s really flying!」

「I-I’m amazed!」

Ria and Rose widened their eyes in astonishment.

「All right, you started it perfectly!」

「S-So cool!」

「It’s insanely futuristic though!」

The president nodded with satisfaction, whereas Lilim-senpai and Ferris-senpai exclaimed excitedly.

「Nee, Allen-kun. Go ahead and try flying around.」

「Yes, I understand.」

In response to the president’s words, I operated the glider as she described earlier.

(T-This is amazing.)

I can freely move it to the right, left, up, down, and even sharp turns as I wish.

I freely flew around in the sky as though having grown an actual pair of wings on my back.

(This thing’s mobility is unbelievable.)

After enjoying a journey through the sky to my heart’s content, I gradually reduced the spiritual power supplied to the glider, and succeeded in landing safely.

The next moment,

「I-I want to fly too!」

「This is an amazing machine!」

Ria and Rose’s eyes sparkled.

「My glider… is this one!」

「First come, first serve though!」

Lilim-senpai and Ferris-senpai scrambled for the remaining gliders.

The president, who saw them rushing, smiled happily.

「Fufu. All of them have the same performance, and I have prepared one for everyone, so don’t rush.」

Afterwards, everyone got onto a glider and took to the sky one after another.

「A-Amazing… The view is so great!」

「The Hundred Million Year Sakura seen from the sky is even more beautiful!」

While Ria and Rose were moved by the scenery from the sky,

「It’s a great invention, but…」

「The consumption rate of spiritual power is greater than I thought though…」

Lilim-senpai and Ferris-senpai appealed with a bitter expression.

「Ah, come to think of it… It’s true that it has already drained a fair amount.」

「At this consumption rate, I’d say we only have thirty minutes of flight time.」

Ria and Rose, who were excited just a second ago, now muttered with a difficult expression.

「Yes, that “poor fuel consumption” is the problem. The results of the Performance Test, which the Holy Knights participated in, shows an average flight time of 15 minutes. Even at the longest, it was only 20 minutes.」

The president said so and sighed loudly.

(That’s strange. My spiritual power doesn’t feel drained at all though.)

As everyone says, there’s a feeling that my spiritual power is being sucked away, but…

It’s very, very miniscule to the point where it’s negligible.

In fact, I recover way more spiritual power from natural recovery than the amount that is being consumed.

Perhaps this is why I can fly for a long time without taking a break.

(Or maybe everyone else’s glider is defective.)

I thought so, and decided to ask.

「You know, I don’t feel like my spiritual power is being drained though.」

And then,

「Well… Allen-kun has a monstrous amount of spiritual power after all.」

「Simply in terms of spiritual power, you’re superior to “Black Fist” Leia Lasnode after all.」

「I don’t think you can understand the problems of us “humans” though.」

The president and senpais said so, and put on a wry smile.

■

After that, we practiced flying the glider for about three minutes.

And then, the president raised her voice energetically when everyone was able to control their glider freely.

「Well then, let’s go to the destination before everyone run out of spiritual power!」

Thus, we who had obtained the means of transportation in the form of gliders, went to a small isolated island on the other side of Hundred Million Years Sakura.
