Chapter 151: Round Table (1)

“It’s landing. It’s landing!”

“Yeah, it is!”

The airship landed. The two, dozing off after growing tired of looking at the sky, clung to the window again.

“Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!”

The airship slowly landed on the runway, vibrating and shaking. Epherene and Allen’s bodies shook, and before long, the steward knocked.

—Professor Deculein. We’ve arrived.

I encrypted the Go board again, stood, and called to Epherene and Allen.

“Let’s go.”

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

As soon as I opened the door to the VVIP room, the steward and the captain were lined up in the hallway. I, familiar with it, walked between them, and Epherene and Allen followed hesitantly.

“…Wow.”

The moment we stepped off the airship, a magnificent sight greeted us. Allen was amazed, and Epherene stood with her mouth agape. The Round Table was that unique a place.

“What is all this…?”

The Round Table was a round table. A spacious, round plate-like space. Pink sunset over the horizon colored the world, and the glass floor reflected the light.

“Hey, Deculein.”

Someone called out to me. A familiar face approached from the other side of the runway.

“Oh. Did Leaf come too?”

It was Ihelm. He waved his hand as if pleased to see us.

“Gosh. Because of you, everyone in the tower is calling me Leaf.”

Epherene glared at Ihelm, but he merely shrugged.

“Well, that’s good. Much better than Epherene.”

“What’s wrong with Epherene?”

“I told you, it’s not such a good name. Anyway.”
