「Hey, Mimi, you can’t even drive? You’ve been slacking off a lot」
「I-I mean, it’s usually Fuu-kun carrying me」
「This is why you lost, you’re too spoiled!! Move your feet!」
Ruu-nee’s shouting at Emily since morning. Every time she kicks in the air, she runs a few meters in an instant. Emily desperately chases after her, running in the air.
Sky walking, sky driving. That’s one of the methods the Kiryu use with their attribute magic.
Just as Lina launches fireballs of magic matter, the magic matter created using attribute magic is something the Kiryu manipulates.
Basically, it floats or shoots in one direction, but if you’re a skilled Kiryu, you can bend it like a bullet or deviate the shot.
The principle is that if you create magic matter under your feet and walk or run on it, you can move in the air.
It may sound easy on paper, but it takes delicate magic manipulation to lift oneself with their magic.
Also, the method of walking and running normally through a passage made in the air is called “Air Walking” The method of strengthening both legs and creating footholds using magic is called “Sky Driving” Naturally, sky driving is much more difficult, but if you’re skilled enough, you can use it not just for movement but also in combat, making it possible for high-speed three-dimensional combat.
Sky driving is an essential skill when fighting strong enemies, such as the Shinryu who freely flies through the sky and you’ll be promoted to the first class gold rank if you can learn it.
Ruu-nee and Emily both have the same gold special class. Ruu-nee is a veteran equal to a first-class gold rank, and Emily is equal to a third-class gold rank.
「If there’s a request to subjugate a strong monster, we’re taking it, if not, we’re heading West. I’m going to fix your guts」
「Noooooooooo!! I just came back yesterday!!!」
The Western Front is also known as the Demon King Army’s frontline.
It’s a battlefield where the Kiryu and Zatsuryu aim to succeed by using their lives as chips. Many graduates of the Upper Dragon School have also died.
The Kiryu are the top combatants in the world but they’re no absolute powerhouse. Emily, who was spoiled by her bodyguards, thought about the life-threatening request of being sent to the West…

I was training with Melody-oneesama and Mira-chan, and I knew that the Kiryu had such outstanding power.
Now Mira-chan’s training how to walk in the air, and Melody-oneesama’s floating around in vertical and horizontal axes using her wind magic.
I only have non-attribute magic. And since non-attribute magics don’t have any physical interference, I can’t use it as a scaffolding.
I won’t be able to compete with the Kiryu who can freely run on the sky as I have no choice but to run on the ground. It’s like a fight between a tank and a fighter jet. I’m just a target. Hmm, I wonder what to do about it.

「Well then, Alec-kun, please do it」
「Okay~」
Thanks to Melody-oneesama accompanying me for training, today’s my on-stage performance.
Actually, Melody-oneesama seems to love watching plays. She usually behaves theatrically, which seems to have been influenced by her love for it.
「Alec’s a great singer. He was the best in the village!」
I was talking about Melody-oneesama’s recommended musician, and then Lina-chan boasted that I was good at singing, so Melody-oneesama took the bait.
Nasha-chan, Mira-chan, and the other girls also wanted to listen, so I picked the time to do a concert live.
Why a concert you might ask. Actually, I did something similar back when I was in the village.
There was almost no entertainment in Reya village, so singing a song was a good way to kill time, and I also tried to strengthen my throat and lungs by strengthening training.
People heard my song at that time and they asked me to sing at the festival.
I sang songs I know from Japan, so I guess they’re treated as a novelty and original here. There aren’t that many opportunities to hear new songs in the countryside. Everyone was happy.
And of course, nobody could play with me so I learned how to play the instruments as well. It’s a small guitar-like instrument that seems popular in this world. Is there a rule in this world that says boys who can play instruments are more popular?
「Everyone, please enjoy」
So, I decided to hold a live concert, and since it was a good opportunity, we asked the other ladies and the friends to gather some musicians and they decided to do it in the women’s dorm music.
I decided on the basic melody of the song and the professionals arranged it to create a profoundly and finished product that satisfied even the refined ladies.
The Japanese lyrics were translated into the lyrics tailored to this world, and I felt the high level of culture on my skin. On the contrary, I think that the professionals have built a good relationship, as they were impressed by the masterpieces that have been culled and refined by the public ear in my previous life.
「Then, I’ll sing. Please listen. Our first song」」
Then, the concert began. I started with a solo, then a duet with Lina-chan, and then a chorus with the singers invited to the event. Ten songs at that time.
Aah, singing is great. Songs are the best.
My first concert ended with a whirlwind of applause and enthusiasm, making me wonder if we could have karaoke in this world as well.
I feel like it’s a culture bomb, but that’s fine. Anyway, listen to my song.
