Sword Art Online's
Chapter 2's
"Good morning, Ronye-san.you don't have to worry about the fight, because today is a long wait from the fest."
“Fest...what is it?”.Unknowingly he tilted his head.Today—is the date of February 17th, the year of the 380 calendar of the Human World, the days as usual.Also, there is no “The basic law of the Human World ” that was rumored last year, as, or ‘Taboo Index’ has also been changed, there are no special instructions to celebrate this day.
However, looking around, in front of the Central Cathedral was filled with countless spectators. Everyone was trying to get food and drink.
Furthermore, the front gate of the Cathedral, which is usually tightly closed, is seen open to the public today.2 supervisors standing in the left and right areas inside the main gate, are seen to be open to the public today, it was filled with the number of people passing through the gate.
“...Well, whether this is the name of the festival or what, I do not know, senpai..when Mr Prime Swordsman does something, it must be like this.”Ronye also nodded due to Tieze's words with a embarrassed face.
“Well, I guess.ayo we hope that he does not damage the Cathedral today.”.On the other side of the crowd, where there were 3 people meeting each other, As they said, it was difficult to express it in words.
A strange sound that echoed from the middle, the area separated by almost 100 mel, and in the pure white stone, a “machine dragon” appeared.However, it was not just a decoration, it was not, the very top of his head is made of transparent glass.His short wings on the left and right sides are thin, and both legs are thick cylinder is large, No tail.Requivocally length is about 5 mels, and the orange flames were visible from the holes above and below, but his identity was hard to figure out.…One thing for sure is that it makes me feel weird.
Throwing away from the heart, Ronye turned his gaze away from the metallic dragon and looked at the 3 people standing nearby.One of them—a young swordswoman with long chestnut-colored hair who was blown away with a sword on her left waist, precisely on top of her white-colored skirt, averted her gaze when she saw Ronye. He smiled and raised his hand then gave him a gesture.“Hey, come here.”
As Tieze hesitated and retreated slightly, Ronye first ran and passed the yellow barrier rope, of course followed Tsukigaki.By ignoring the large crowd, he passed through the crowd, stopping in front of the swordswoman, of course, he gave a knight's greeting to her.
“Good morning,Vice Prime Swordsman equals.”Good morning, Ronye-san, it looks like we're going to party today, so just make it comfortable huh?”.She said with a smile on her pretty face, Ronye relaxed her shoulders and replied.
“...Good, Asuna-sama”
“I told you..no need to wear sama”.
She smiled at him, but it was hard to do so.
The girl standing before Ronye who looked older than him was the representative of Prime
The Swordsman Council of the Asuna Human World Union respected everyone, instead being more respected than the Prime Swordsman himself. Because everyone in this Human World believes that she is the reincarnation of the ‘Goddess Great Stacia’, one of the 3 goddesses in genesis mythology.
Although she denied that she was not a goddess, Ronye had witnessed it herself as Asuna made a huge crack in the ground with her sword slash to avoid the enemy's attack, you can't imagine calling him without–sama.Although he's been told to [not to wear - the same] by the highest knight he has to obey, he said, he moved his neck left and right with the intention to continue, he looked at Asuna with a bitter smile.
“So, Ronye-san, you are the best in sacred art thermal element right?”
“I..i-iya that's it.”Feeling awkward, he nodded. Asuna brought her face closer to him and said quietly.
“Then, there's a little thing I want to ask of you.As long as we have the thermal element array and you have the same tendencies with each other, I want you to teach me how to get it out.”
“Eh...oh…? Is there a thermal element in there?
Ronye could not understand his intention, he turned his gaze and flickered.He looked at the topmost peak of the dragon machine, and saw 2 young men discussing something next to him.
“...The bottom line, Left-boy, although you said the thermal element can be computerized and against the heat of the result, it's because there's a sufficient supply of permanent freezing, it's, My granddaughter is not good at cryogenic elements, so if you take another delay during the sacred art, the full filling of elements can be lost in the blink of an eye!”.One person who was speaking in a loud voice and with words that were almost difficult to understand was a 50-year-old man with a neat beard.
Ronye knew him, a worker who made the best armor in the capital city of Centoria named Sadore.Had long since he operated a shop in the city, and after that he cooperated with a request from Integrity Knight at “Empire” 4 Uprising, he took a job at Central Cathedral as the head of machinery.
And one more person was talking to Sadore-shi whose face was flushed like a child, With the same color of hair and eyes, black. He was more visible as a young man, wearing a long coat jacket and strange gray trousers. No guns on his waist. He put his hands in leather gloves behind his head and spoke again with Sadore with a lazy face.
“Hey, listening to it makes my ears hurt like being bitten by an insect tofu, oji-san, don't call me Kiri-boy again.”
“Hmph, don't expect, since that day, since 3 years ago you came to me carrying that tree branch to my shop, I have refined and honed that tree branch using the best 6 black stones to sharpen it into a sword. After that I decided to call you as my grandson forever.”
“...remember too, without that sword, this world would be in trouble.”
The grumbling young man looked towards Ronye.So much as they met the first time, he did not change. Leaving an impression of a young man. Soon, Ronye saw the smile of the young man on his face, something felt pulsing in his chest.Ronye lowered her head slightly, giving him respect.“Good morning, Kirito-Senpai.”
At this time actually he wants to use kata–sama well, but specifically for that person, call–sama is used only in formal times only. So unable to dodge, she called him with the word–senpai just like when they were still students.
The former Elite Swordsman at the Sword Mastery Academy in North Centoria, a young man named Kirito who had now legitimately occupied the position of Prime Swordsman in the United Council of the Human World, waved his hand with a smile.
“Oh Ronye! What are you doing there?”.The little dragon appeared behind Ronye and exclaimed ‘kururu’ then spread its small wings and stopped in front of Kirito and stroked his cheek. After smiling looking at the situation, he also greeted Sadore.
“Good morning, master”
“Oh, good morning, son of Ronye”
After greeting each other, Ronye approached the oji-san with a smile and asked.
“So..it...you just talked about it, what is it...like thermal element?”
“Machine...dragon?”.
Very foreign words again, but he quickly understood that it was the name of the metallic dragon standing before him.Looking at him again, he felt strange as he called him a dragon, the dragon, a work that does not live with a strange sound that sounds ‘hirururu’ behind its long and large form.
“There are 2 storage containers made of west adamantin stone, there are only 10thermal elements filled there.”
"Eh....... Eeeeh!".Upon hearing that, Ronye stepped back slowly.
Thermal element is the most difficult thing to master compared to the source of 8 attributes of sacred art.Unlike cryogenic and aerial that can be maintained in space while, if left behind when produced, not like, it would quickly emit heat and light then dissipate. If you use thermal elements, you can't lose concentration until the process goes on or is interrupted, which is the main thing learned by the apprentice priest.
“Yeah...like...the adamantine stone with resistance to its very high heat, if you leave in contact with 10 hot elements, will it melt and explode?."
“That was his invention, outside the container, there was a pipe made from the skin of a giant yorund centipede that had a high frozen defense. It is a pipe system that is connected to a sealed chamber with cryogenic element that supplies cold air there to prevent the hot chamber from melting.”
"That..um...”.
Although called a discovery, for Ronye, thermal elements and cryogenes are the source of sacred art which is ‘Ampunan dewa’ and far from the art of blacksmithing and metal. He never thought of combining the two.
“...It is like that..what will work...?”
Unknowingly muttering, Sadore's master spread out both his hands.
“Yeah, it's already perfect lo.”
"Dee!"
“Left-boy who will drive this thing.”
"Eeeeee~~!?"
"Riding—a-what is this?."With fear he looked up at ‘naga machine’ it.Then, he saw something that seemed nothing but a chair inside the transparent glass head that tipped taper. There's a metallic pipe and a number of small disks around that chair. The thin needle in the middle of one of the disks seemed to vibrate with a strange sound.
“...It is impossible..someone who sits there, then..releasing thermal element...from the container behind it....then..”.
“Wish!! Fly..like dragons in the sky.”
It was Kirito who stood up after him.
Tsukigaki sniffed the metal wings from the dragon engine, and moved away with a disappointed face.
“J-ja-don't, this doesn't make sense, senpai!!”
He shouted while pulling Kirito's sleeves.
“Well, you don't think we're going to replace each other's entire 20 thermal elements at the same time, which will instantly disappear entirely right?! It's like a Cathedral.” elevator
“Yup, since the pipe has been adjusted and installed properly, you can raise or lower the pressure with the aerial element. There is nothing better to fly in the sky than the explosive force of the thermal element.”Finally he smiled.laly Kirito turned around.
“In addition, many people have been waiting for this..if you say to cancel it, ‘Prime Rebellion’ later the incident.”.
“Ah, instead of senpai meet with all of them!?”
The large crowd gathered today at the Central Cathedral in front of it as Kirito loudly announced “we will be holding a public experiment from the Cathedral armory.”
During the peace in Underworld, it was common for staff members and this new society to enjoy “protective restoration experiments of the northern cave dragon protector” that the Prime Swordsman of the Human World would exhibit, that is the source of the crowd to do something again.
At that moment, when Kirito made a slight mistake controlling the white dragon, almost all of the tree plants in the Cathedral froze. Ronye who knew that involuntarily retreated a little.
His back was restrained by the Vice-Prime Swordsman standing to his right. Asuna who has been in contact with Kirito for a long time said with a face that looks like giving up.
“Don't waste time, Ronye-san, there's nothing else we can do, it'll happen.”
“But...but..this is not true...”.
His head shook, making him think again. Last year Ronye had learned about “there is no other way but to do” if the stubborn Kirito was doing something.intend to do everything possible to avoid disaster,then Ronye focused his mind inwardly on the word ‘dragon’ machine.
