Once we are at a height where the ground is visible, I steered the Nimbus Cloud towards the airspace of the lake.

Upon nearing the lake’s surface, I took the Ruyi Staff out using storage magic and extended it towards the bottom of the lake.

Several tens of seconds later.

Once I felt that the tip of the Ruyi staff made contact with the bottom of the lake, I stopped its extension.

Right after that…Artemis contacted me telepathically.

[I have strengthened the life force of all living organisms in the lake. With this, they should be fine even if you momentarily freeze the lake.] (Artemis)

[Thank you. …There you have it Caucasus, the preparations are complete. Please cast the freezing magic at once.] (Varius)

[Understood.] (Caucasus)

Upon my instructions, Caucasus directs his horns towards the lake.

…and released a light filled with magic from his horns in the water.

A few seconds later…

Accompanied by cracking sounds, the entire lake became a lump of ice in just a moment.

As a test, I grabbed the Ruyi Staff and tried giving it a shake.

…All right, I have no complaints. We should be able to aim for the moon without any issues.

[Now then, to the moon!] (Varius)

I clung onto the Ruyi Staff with Artemis equipped, and began to extend the Ruyi Staff.

*******************************************************************************************************

[Ooh, we’re finally back at the height we were at before.] (Caucasus)

[Damn straight.] (Beelzebub)

It has been around 6 minutes since the Ruyi Staff began making its way to the moon.

Caucasus and Beelzebub began their conversation as such.

By the way, our party is currently set up in the following manner:

Caucasus is holding on at the lowest position, his horns holding onto the Nimbus Cloud.

Sitting atop the Nimbus Cloud is me — with Artemis equipped — and Beelzebub.

My role is to cast recovery magic on Caucasus’ legs when he needs it so that he does not fall due to the fatigue.

Beelzebub’s role on the other hand, is to provide magical energy to the Nimbus Cloud in order to maintain the deployment of the weather shield.


Although the Nimbus Cloud loses its functionality when going beyond the stratosphere, it does help with maintaining atmospheric pressure and reducing cosmic radiation.

Having distributed our roles as such, we are able to comfortably head towards the moon.

At this pace…it wouldn’t take an hour before we reach an altitude where the atmosphere is pretty thin.

Once it gets like that, moving at supersonic speed would not generate as much of a shockwave as it normally would.

I guess I’ll raise our rising speed once we get there.

******************************************************************************************

It’s been around 6 hours since then.


Ever since around the time  we escaped the stratosphere, I have begun raising the speed of the Ruyi Staff’s extension…however, I then discovered a truly shocking truth.

Would you believe it, the Ruyi Staff’s speed limit, isn’t just [Slightly faster than the speed of sound.]. 

Until just a moment ago, the Ruyi Staff was still accelerating.

I think it isn’t strange to say that the current speed is around 4 times the speed of sound.

It seems we’ll reach the moon sooner than we thought.

Well, even so, having to spend a few days inside the closed space of the Nimbus Cloud’s weather shield is…may seem boring, but that isn’t the case.

 

Seeing our planet from this height…is so beautifully breathtaking.

[What a great view…] (Varius)

[[Yeah…]] (Caucasus, Beelzebub)

Not just me, Caucasus and Beelzebub felt healed by that spectacle as well.

Oh, it’s already time.

I thought I’d take the opportunity to observe the various celestial bodies across the galaxy seeing as we’re already in space.

It’s not everyday one gets to clearly observe the celestial bodies without interference from the atmosphere.

Using telescopic magic, let us capture this precious moment.

For starters, I think I will begin by observing one of the planets orbiting around.

A few minutes later, I made a discovery regarding that planet.

In order to take a closer look, I drastically increased the magnification of the telescopic magic but…I almost fell off the Nimbus Cloud when I captured the image of the planet.

…W…Why does that planet have 4 natural satellites?!

As far as I know, that planet only has 2 natural satellites.

That fact should have been confirmed by scientists countless times.

I never heard anything about it having 4 natural satellites, exactly what is going on…?

After taking a few deep breaths and regaining my calm, I have come to a conclusion.

I, have reincarnated to a different planet.

Definitely, everything makes sense if I think about it that way.

The part where no Tamers know about awakening.

Or the part where the treatment of Tamers are unreasonably poor.

Even the fact that not a single person knows about True Chant magic.


Everything, is because [This planet has not achieved that level of civilisation yet.]

Well, not like I can say anything even if I know all this.

My feelings after having all my doubts since reincarnating resolved is…honestly, complicated.

****************************************************************************

It should have been a few days since then.

Our party has…finally come close enough to the moon to clearly see it as a small rock.

……It has really been a long journey.

Even if we were travelling at a speed multiple times faster than the speed of sound…380000km is really far after all.

Incidentally, I thought of trying to steer the Nimbus Cloud so I tried willing it to move. When I did that…the Nimbus Cloud only moved a little.

 

It was an experiment based on the hypothesis that [The flying abilities of the Nimbus Cloud would be displayed once it approaches the surface of a celestial body]…..and it seems that it was right.

[Thanks, Caucasus. It seems that I can finally move the Nimbus Cloud, so please get on. Let’s reach the surface of the moon together.] (Varius)

I told Caucasus, while slowing down the extension speed of the Ruyi Staff.

Soon after…using the Nimbus Cloud, we flew towards the surface of the moon.

I placed Artemis against a nearby boulder made of Lunar Metal.

Right after that…Artemis once again assumed the form of a girl.

[Thank you. I never would have thought that I would return to this place again……Ah~ I’m being filled with power.] (Artemis)

Artemis said while stretching.

Throwing herself into a depression in the Lunar Metal boulder, Artemis continued.

[Could you stay here for about 24 hours? With that amount of time…well, I should be able to recover about 60% of my full strength. Once I do, as thanks, I would like to share some of my power with you, Varius.] (Artemis)
