Captain Ferlock

[Iris]

Whoa~ this is great!! The wind is so cool~!!

Hooray~ we are flying through the sky! For free on top of that!

Is it not marvelous how this huge ship can fly without the use of magic? Chaos?

[Chaos]

......

...?? Chaos?

.....Sage Kadmon..

What are you doing instead of listening to me!!!!

Argh! Aaah~!!

Humph! That's what you get for being absent-minded!

Ah...Iris!! Are you trying to kill me~!!

Humph! I don't care if you die or not...

[Captain Ferlock]

Hey!! No horsing around on the ship!!

This is what's wrong with young humans. They have no manners! If you act up I will toss all of you off!!

Oops... By the way captain, how does this big airship fly through the sky? It is so marvelous!

Huh? That's a good question.

As you can see, we heat the large boiler to boil water then use the pressure of the steam to move the pistons which turns the cogwheel and moves the turbine to turn the propeller.

Eh... So that's how this big ship floats... but now the feeling of the mystery is gone. I thought there would be some mystical device... a little disappointed...

That's right. This big ship can't be in the sky with just steam. So it uses an amplifier called a 'Rune Engine'.

Rune Engine? What is that?

It's a device that uses a magical stone.

Something about fallen fragments of a broken heart according to the legends... a ridiculous legend but that doesn't matter...

The stone is the so-called 'Tear of Ymir.' If put in junction with locomotive engines like steam engines, the rune exuded from the stone amplifies the energy.

In all honesty it is not an overstatement to say a rock the size of a thumb is moving this ship. It possesses an incredible power.

That little thing...!!!

[Loki]

......huh?

Something is coming this way...

[Guard]

Alert!! Alert!! A large Wyvern unit at 7 o'clock!!

What?!

Gre...Gremlins!! Gremlins have landed from the Wyvern!!

Hm... What is this now?

[Arcana]

Hahahaha~ You have waited long!!

Beautiful sorceress Arcana's surprise airborne monster show!!

Wha...what show?

Now... Let us get started! Gremlins~!!

It's PARTY TIME~!!

Cap..Captain! This is serious!

Gremlins are all over the ship!!

What?! These are Gremlins?!

You bastards!! Come down from there now!!

Captain. There is no need to be so agitated.

Gremlins are just monsters that tinker with machines. Rather...

You don't know what you're talking about!!

We're at an altitude of 8000!! Even a minor malfunction could lead to a deadly crash!

Argh!! Rear engine number 1!!

...This is serious! They are heading towards the engine room! We have to protect the Rune Engine!!

Damn it... Where did I put my weapon...

Hey humans!! Block that nuisance while I go to the captain's room to look for my weapon!!

We have to especially stop them from getting to the Rune Engine!! If that is destroyed the ship can no longer fly!!

Damn... if only I had my weapon...

Iris!! Let's go down to the engine room! Loki and Fenrir, hold this place!

Oh...okay! Alright... Let's go!!
