Otherworld Company Chapter 74.2: Shall We Make an Unforgettable Exit?

I move my body before thinking.

I deal with the Knight Commander’s sword by mobilizing all my senses with my body.

The sword is a very powerful one, but it is not the only one.

I jump backward and the leader of the knighthood comes cutting at me, separated by less than one-tenth of a second of force.

I use the recoil from my backward momentum to intercept it with a thrust, and the knight commander returns a kick. The knight commander comes flying forward with his sword at his side like he’s planning on jumping over me.

The only thing I could do in response to the kick was to immediately clench my abdominal muscles, but the impact on my internal organs was only slightly mitigated by the clenching of my muscles.

“Then, I’ll do it until I make you vomit what I want.” (Knight Commander)

“Physically?” (Jiro)

I laugh at him as if he were a joke.

The noise around us is getting louder and louder.

Some people tried to get close to Amelia, but when she made a gesture of trying to fire a magic cannon, they moved away.

The church wants to settle things before disaster strikes, and I persist in my efforts to escape.

“Hmph!” (Jiro)

“Take this!” (Knight Commander)

I glance to the side to check the situation, and he takes advantage of the opportunity.

I try to deflect the attack with the Mineral Tree, but I lose.

I was near the point of physical exhaustion, but before it reached that point, my internal clock told me it was time to go.

“Bishop! There are massive creatures from the sky!” (Knight)

“Are you going to run away because of that! Fool, it will be brought down by the bombardment from the ramparts when it gets low!” (Bishop)

The bishops’ voices told me that they were coming, and I decided that this was the right time.

“Well, we’d better be off, then.” (Jiro)

“You’ll never get away!” (Knight Commander)

“It’s bad manners to hold up someone who is already leaving, you know?” (Jiro)

First, I rip off the second button of my suit to draw the Knight Commander away.

I remember to close my eyes tightly as I do so.

The moment I close my eyes, I see through my eyelids that my suit jacket gives off a powerful flash.

“What kind of power is it to still dazzle me when I close my eyes?” (Jiro)

The power of the flash was so strong that I would have gone blind if I had looked directly at it, and I was reaffirmed that the special suit made by the Giants was not a bad idea in a crazy scenario.

The victim, the knight commander, closed his eyes as if in pain, but he was not exposing himself to any openings, as if he had caught my movement with my presence.

“Wait!” (Knight Commander)

“Is there an idiot who hears wait and stays, Amelia! Make the students float!” (Jiro)

“Okay!” (Amelia)

I don’t have enough time to deal with the monster in front of me.

It’s enough for me to stop him from moving.

I’m not going to be able to see the way they are going to respond to my move.

The knight commander’s movements lacked precision when he was blinded, even if he wanted to respond to my movements, and he was unable to keep up with my spur-of-the-moment moves, so he took a passive stance to respond.

In addition, the flash of light from earlier affected the soldiers around me, and since there was almost no personnel who could move, I was able to move freely.

Amelia, who is on my side, is also affected, but that is within the scope of my prediction.

Mike, the imaginary being, tells me that he should be able to do it, and I confirm that after the students are afloat.

“Let’s take off!” (Jiro)

“Fly?!” (Amelia)

“No, I mean jump!” (Jiro)

The huge shadow coming from the sky is unable to fly low enough to get close to this cathedral due to the attack magic from below.

Then we have no choice but to get closer.

It’s not unreasonable to go to the sky that is far away, it’s reckless, but this fantasy world makes it possible.

While running up to Amelia, I wrapped my arm and carried her on my side, and I apologize to the students, but I asked them to endure it as they were floating in the air.

Then I activate the hidden magic tool.

“Amelia this is quite the rare experience. Don’t bite your tongue.” (Jiro)

“What?” (Amelia)

I felt a strong magical response from the activated magic tool, the soles of my leather shoes, and it was like a bomb about to explode.

A magic circle is then deployed at my feet.

“Target set, fixed coordinates, output critical!” (Jiro)

I follow the procedure according to the manual, leaving Amelia puzzled by the suspicious atmosphere, and I shout out the message sent to me by the owner of the Giant weapons store, a familiar face to me.

“No seat belts! Emergency escape system, activate!” (Jiro)

It was the moment a bomb exploded, rather than a jet engine firing up.

Below the magic circle, or more accurately, the soles of my shoes, a tremendous explosion propelled my body into the heavens.

The Giants’ project, was made after the crazy bloodthirsty giant saw in a movie a device that allows you to escape from a car in a number of spy movies, an emergency escape device.

A work of art with almost no use for it has now seen the light of day.

This leap is one way, and the only thought is to go up.

It is a defective product that does not even take into account any measures against falling back to the ground.

And since it was originally based on the assumption that the entire class would be placed on top of the magic circle and escaped from this city, the power was much stronger than the emergency escape device in the movies.

“What’s going on!?” (Amelia)

(Hahahahahahaha! This is the work of the giants! They really like making some interesting things!) (Mike)

In case you’re wondering, aerodynamic resistance barriers are put up, so it doesn’t matter when you’re jumping.

Amelia, who can’t see, and the sleeping students don’t know what’s happening, but I, who can see, and Mike, who perceives, know exactly what’s going on.

Flung into the sky at an unbelievable speed.

“They overdid it, that idiot!” (Jiro)

Sure, I can say that this will help us escape, but what are we going to do over the bugs rendezvousing in the air?

The momentum was too much, and we went over the huge dragonfly-like magical beast.

In a panic, the rider manipulates the reins and chases after me.

In the meantime, magic is still flying from below, and I’m flying too fast for them to catch up with me.

“Yo! Brother, quite a spectacular entrance! Are you the guests my vampire sis told me to pick up?” (Dragonfly Rider)

“Yes, we are! I’m not the only one who booked you to come to this place! Stop your whining and get to work!” (Jiro)

“OK, I’m glad to hear you’re doing well, brother. Can you make the jump?” (Dragonfly Rider)

“If it was possible, I would have done it by now!” (Jiro)

“Then this is going to be a little rough. Let’s go buddy!” (Dragonfly Rider)

The rider caught up with me faster than we fall.

We magically extended our voices to grasp the situation and quickly and swiftly move the reins.

The rider and the beast, in unison, carefully moved their huge bodies in a somersault along with us as we drop in the air.

“You’re alive, brother!” (Dragonfly Rider)

“I’m realizing how nice it is to have a floor you can’t fall on, can I take a break?” (Jiro)

“Yes, it hurts.” (Amelia)

(Hahahaha, that’s quite potent.) (Mike)

I’m feeling alive right now as I’m caught in a nice layup shot in a basket mounted on the back of a dragonfly for carrying people.

I was stowed a little messily, but I can’t blame them at this point.

Amelia may have bitten her tongue on the first impact, and she is holding her mouth.

The other students are also safely contained.

I was relieved for the time being, but I would rather have a smoke first than check my aching body, and I asked the rider holding the reins for permission.

I wonder if this basket is also a magical tool, I do not feel the cold or wind.

Thanks to this, I easily light up a cigarette.

“Were we able to escape?” (Jiro)

“Who are you asking, we have plenty of time.” (Dragonfly Rider)

“Well, then, please stick to the schedule.” (Jiro)

I’ve heard that that country has an air force as well.

When I ask if there is no problem escaping with smoke in my lungs, I got a nonchalant answer.

If so, the rest would be as planned.

“Everyone else was left behind.” (Amelia)

“Hmm?” (Jiro)

“Jiro, Mike, is this all right?” (Amelia)

(I’m not sure if this was the right thing to do. If Amy had stayed where she was, you and the others here would have lost your lives. It’s an accomplishment to have been able to save them. I’m sure you mean the other people, but I don’t think we could have afforded to bring more than we did.) (Mike)

I was thinking about my next plan in my head, and Amelia, now free from pain, opened a serious topic.

She must be feeling guilty that she was the only one who got away.

“Oh, I’m sorry.” (Jiro)

“Ah, No-no don’t be! I’m not blaming Mr. Jiro.” (Amelia)

“No, I mean I’m sorry I didn’t explain myself better. Rider, what color is the reply from Memoria?” (Jiro)

“Green brother!” (Dragonfly Rider)

So, it’s worth all the effort, huh?

“Then I guess things are going well over there. Amelia, I think we may have gotten your classmates out of there safely.” (Jiro)

“What?” (Amelia)

Sorry, Amelia, I’m not good in serious situations.
