Chapter 282 (1/2)

When we went to the fourteenth floor, the scenery completely changed again.

「Ama~zing, we’re above the clouds!!」

The stairway that we used to climbed up to this floor was a stairway that seems to lead into the clouds.

A sea of clouds spread out when we climb up the stairs.

And then, the wind is also blowing in this floor, too.

「Nee, onii-chan. Let’s ride this cloud.」

「Are you serious!?」

Elena and Hilda walk above the clouds happily.

They’re just like angels.

And then, Aya, who seems to be similarly happy, is frolicking.

She’s just like a child.

「Since it’s dangerous, don’t go too far to the edge.」

「Y~es.」

Is it really alright?

「Nee, onii-chan. If we fall from here, where do you think we’ll fall??

The lower floor?」

「I don’t know, would you like to test it out for a bit?」

「Wai-, onii-chan, what do you want to do?」

「Well, to find out like you said.」

I went to the very edge of the clouds while watching my steps and threw a stone, which I took from the inventory, below.

The stone dropped far off to the bottom and quickly disappeared.

「The stone has disappeared.」

Elena, who came next to me before I knew it, mutters so.

「It seems like it has a reasonable altitude and since we don’t know what happened after it disappeared either, let’s be thoroughly careful.」

「Y~es.」「「Yes.」」

———-

When we, as much as possible, traveled along the center of the rather fluffy road of clouds……

the sky gradually worsened.

「A lot of clouds appeared, huh.」

That’s right, clouds that were clearly different from the clouds under our feet began to engulf the surroundings with *moku moku*.

「Everyone be careful, there’s a reaction of a monster!」

At the same time as I said so,

a part of the cloud suddenly projected towards us.

「Aya!」

「Leave it to me!」

Aya slashed the projecting cloud with a knife.

However, it’s like grasping a cloud. The opponent is nothing but cloud!

「What’s this!?」

Aya’s knife passed through the cloud and slashed the air.

When I used【Appraisal】, it seems to be a monster called『Thunderhead[1]』.

Its form seems to be made of clouds.

「Physical attacks doesn’t seem to be effective. Attack it using magic.」

「「Yes!」」

Aya attacks using Wind Magic.

Elena creates a wall of water, defending against the enemy’s attack.

Hilda joins in and attacks using flame.

The most effective was Hilda’s flame.

When the cloud was scorched by the flame, interestingly, it seemed like it vanished and she was able to easily defeat it.

「Hilda played the most active role.」

「Ehehe.」

When I patted her head, Hilda was happily embarrassed.

「Onii-chan, what about me?」

「Shouldn’t you try the【Downburst】that you learned a short while ago?」

「【Downburst】? I mean, can you make it fall even though there’s no ground?」

「Isn’t a cloud something caused by an updraft?

Then, why don’t you do the opposite?」
