Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance:Volume4 Chapter2

Chapter 2 - Sky Voyage

The flying boat filled with ether continued to glide over the clouds.

The destination was a sanctuary in the Elemental Spirit World – Floating Island <Ragana Ys>.

It was the venue for the Spirit Blade Dance festival.

Originally, only the shrine princesses from the <Divine Ritual Institute> were permitted to enter the sanctuary to attend the Elemental Lord.

However, this was open to the general public specifically during the Blade Dance festival only.

"Oh, this flying boat is so amazing!"

Overlooking the sea of clouds that extended through the window, Kamito was feeling dizzy.

Anyway, it was his first time riding a flying boat.

But as expected from the ladies of nobility, they got accustomed to it as soon as they unloaded their luggage.

He was relaxing on the sofa in the private room that they were each allotted.

The carpet was subjected to very beautiful embroidery in red with the walls being of polished marble.

All the built-in furniture on board was of the highest standard.

"Nevertheless, there is not even a small tremor."

"This is indeed a latest flying ship. If all goes as planned we will be arriving about noon."

That being said, Claire lie herself down on the sofa. But no matter, her posture was....

One could easily see her pink panties. Kamito hurriedly turned his face.

"Come to think of it, I have heard that tonight will be the opening ceremony at the castle. Have you brought your dress for the Formal Ball?"

"No, I did not bring it. I hate dance parties."

Recalling the Blade Dance Festival three years ago, Kamito groaned bitterly.

Honestly, the ball was nothing but trivial.

"Is that so…."

For some reason, Claire muttered regretfully.

"....? Don’t be embarrassed if you need help over your dress, okay?"

"No no, there’s nothing required!"

Claire blushed and turned the other way.

"Are you angry ......"

"I ―I am not angry...stupid!"

"....Really, both of you, fighting on a ship?"

Rinslet was amazed at this and shrugged her shoulders.

"Rinslet, what are you doing here ― ?"

Rinslet had beforehand arranged a tea set on the table.

"I have heard that the flavor of tea leaves from the Laurenfrost province is really good."

"Uh huh! It is essential to relax a bit before the Blade Dance festival."

Fianna and Ellis too, who were gazing the scene outside came forward to join the table.

It kind of seemed to be an elegant young lady’s style to enjoy tea during the evening time.

As Rinslet gracefully poured tea into the cups with her hands, the steam rising immediately filled the room with a pleasant citrus aroma.

"Oh thank you! This has got a really nice flavor."

Claire sincerely gave her words of praise.

"This orange tea is a specialty of the Laurenfrost province."

"Heh-heh, the tea brewed by my lady is indeed delicious."

Her maid Carol giggled and smiled.

"Isn’t this usually a maid’s job to do?"

Kamito enquired ―

"Well, then my adorable Carol will have burns all over."

"Ah, I am sorry..."
