Chapter 170.2

Chapter 170.2 \n<h1>Chapter 170 Carpet</h1>\n\n　You stubborn one.　As I, once again, faced the carpet and watched it gradually closed the distance between me, Lucia sighed for the umpteenth time.

“Wouldn’t it be better to give it back?” (Lucia)

“Flying in the sky is mankind’s dream. Don’t you get it?” (Cry)

“No, since I can fly by myself. In the first place, Leader, you have the 『Night Hiker』, don’t you?” (Lucia)

“That’s a defective product. In addition, it can only work at night.” (Cry)

　Besides, it was one of my dreams to fly on a carpet. Even if it had a somewhat troublesome personality, I couldn’t pass up on this opportunity.　The carpet spins around me as it slides in a smooth motion, catching my feet in the process. And I fell flat on my ass.

　The carpet offered me one of its corners and patted my head. I was completely being made for a fool.　So I gave it a badass smile.

“Fuuuuh…… What a cute little one. …… Okay, let’s give it a name. I know…… Car Pet! Ohhh~!” (Cry)

　The carpet slipped beneath my feet, carrying me gently up to the ceiling, which was nearly five meters high.\n

　Did you finally recognize me as your master……? Just as I was thinking this, the carpet flipped over and threw me into the air.　I plunged headfirst into the metal floor and a terrible sound echoed through the training grounds. I have consumed yet another of my Barrier Rings again.

　I am probably the only person who consumes that many Barrier Rings in a day.

“After all, aren’t the Dark Wings easier to use?” (Lucia)

“No…… I hit my body just as much when I used those to practice.” (Cry)

　Besides, it is boring to be able to use it right away. Now that I have got the carpet I have always wanted, I need to take the time to study it……　Lucia let out a long, soul-draining sigh and recharged my Barrier Rings.

“Please put you in my shoes when I have to accompany you to do all that.” (Lucia)

“Okay, I will let you ride on it when I can do it.” (Cry)

“Absolutely not. As I have said many times, I can fly by myself.” (Lucia)

　Lucia can fly on a broom. Not on a broom Relics, on a regular broom. She can use that kind of magic.　It was a Magic I had thought of, but at that time I didn’t know that the 『Witch’s Broom』 was a famous flying Relic. Maybe Lucia was the only one in the world to be able to fly on a broom you buy in the market.

　By the way, according to Lucia, it’s easier to fly without a broom. Un, un, that’s right……\n 

　I had been dropped and slammed against the wall a lot, but my heart wasn’t so weak as to be discouraged by just this. 

　I have been a little lacking in exercise lately, so this was perfect.

 

　The 『Rebellious Carpet』 knocked me down many times, but there was no sign of it escaping to a place where I couldn’t catch it. Maybe it has some kind of restrictions.

　When the carpet *hirahira* fluttered, it hit my body.　Since the opponent was made of cloth, the force of its blow was negligible, but with its speed, the impact on me was no joke. I bounced on the floor a few times and rolled over onto my back.

　The carpet *fuwafuwa* floated comfortably above me.

　…………… Maybe it wasn’t restrictions, maybe it just had a bad personality.

　However, that too is…… OK.　I am an adult, so I don’t get disheartened when the carpet makes fun of me.

\n　There is something wrong in their head to ask me to do this………… This is a job for Ark.
