“Uh....”

“He's been the replacement chef ever since you left.”

“Papa's meals are plain.”

“Wait-”

“He also tried setting up a campfire manually.”

“Papa used magic instead and nearly blow up the camp.”


By the time Cheng and Ruri were done,Xenon could be seen sulking at the corner of the room.

“Guess the leader had it bad huh...”
 
"Meh, could be a lot worse." Ryutaro said. "Hey, um, Rachelle..." Lorna spoke as she goes up to her "When we get to Fuucho, let's meet somewhere private. I have something to give you." She was confused at first, but after she thought about it, she nods in agreement.​
 
They soon landed on one of the designated landing pads within Fuucho. The airship was undergoing proper maintenance (the cost luckily being lower due to the Drawf Mechanic's guidance),Scientia and Clair started looking at on everything they could find to read regarding the world their in (while people were giving those two funny looks due the former's appearance and the latter's right arm).
 
"Man, I'm beat. I could go for some grub right now." Ryutaro said.​
 
“I'm kind of famished myself. Could be a good opportunity to ask the locals about anything they have gathered regarding the "storm" dragon too.”

Xenon suggested. Meanwhile,Clair himself decided to ask Scientia a question.

“Still,how the heck did you managed to get here anyway? The host-bot you're using right now has something to do with it?”

“We managed to create a temporary rift gate that allowed me to come here into this world. Alex had me possess a hastily-finished host designed for my to use to come here just in case I ended up getting destroyed here. Unfortunately it'll take some time for the gate to recharge or be optimised to keep the rift connected from our world to this.”

“Right....I'm guessing you didn't bring my weapons along either?”

“Consdering you left them in goodness-knows-where,we couldn't find it by the time I came here in search for you.”

Sighing,Clair facepalmed briefly before looking back up at his cousin.

“Right...anyway,you only came looking for me right? What's the deal with the huge ass amount of weaponry you have with you?”

All of sudden,Scientia fell silent,slowly averting his gaze away. Clair's gaze sooner hardened in realisation.

“....You saw that vision too?”

“Clairvoyance's warning....I don't know when it would take place. But it is more than enough the reason I came here armed fully to the teeth.”
 
The group starts to ask the locals about the "storm" dragon, and after much time has passed, they stop at a hotel.​
 
Of course. Scientia was not welcomed due to how much space he was taking,his rather threatening appearance as well as being rather armed to the teeth. As such he decided to fly around the perimeter instead to pass time while the rest stayed in their accomodation room to start making their plans against the dragon.
 
“From what I've remembered,the dragon also started attacking Rachelle,Michelle and Scientia when they flew towards the area of vicinity where the tornadoes were formed. It's possible that it isn't just any transports getting near that will trigger our target,it could be just about anyone.”

Xenon explained.

“Some of the locals whose been to the shore also mentioned about seeing a vague silhoutte of what we're guessing would be the dragon up above the clouds. Which would mean we'd have to take it to the skies if we wish to encounter storm-scaly head-on.”

“One issue being not knowing where the ones managing to control the dragon are,there's also the fact that it's only going to show up if there's something to destroy at the designated area.”
 
"So in other words, we're gonna have to kill it." Ryutaro guessed.​
 
In response,Ruri glared daggers at Ryutaro for the suggestion,fuming as she remembered her close encounter with death in the cave behind the waterfall.

“Well,if you want to make an enemy out of those who worship the dragon as a god,sure. I'd like to avoid gaining animosity if I were you.”

Cheng answered.

“You guys don't have some kind of "hypnotiser finder" of sorts?” Clair asked, “Or maybe something that cuts the link?”
 
"If you're talking about a spell, then I know about one or two of them." Lorna steps up.​
 
“There you go then.”

“If that's the case we'll definitely need Lorna to find the culprit controlling the dragon. As for getting him out....”

“I'll do it.”

His sudden appearance behind the window of the hotel room startled everyone indoors.

“S-Scientia!? When did you-”

“I just went for a short test run against the tornadoes. I can lure it out so that several of you could go confront him while the others find the ones keeping the spell active on it.”
 
“Wait. Is it really okay for you? You're on your own after all.”

“Don't worry about me. I've been used to carrying out seemingly unreasonable orders.”

Sighing,he looked at everyone else.

“I guess that settles it then. Everyone ready?”
 
“Let's do this.”

--------------------------------------------------
The team were split into two. One looking for the culprits,and one either stalling the dragon until the seeking team traces the spell back to their origin or pacify (or in worse case scenario if they have no other choice,kill) the dragon if they could not hold it off any longer. Lorna,Rachelle,Michelle and Ruri were the seekers while the rest would be up in the air in search and to fight the dragon.

“Scientia,once we find the dragon,one of us up at the sky will send word so you can leave the storm and regroup with us. You being the only one here who can fly around swiftly and easily means the dragon will have a harder time trying to get a hit on you.”

“Understood. Heading towards designated position now.”

On the top surface of the airship (there is a seperate exit that allows others to stand on top should there be any corners the ship armaments was unable to find) stood Clair,who was using his own powers to keep himself from falling off while also being largely unaffected by the decreasing amount of air the higher the crew goes.

“You doing okay up there?”

“No problems. The bubble shield add-on your inventor friend made for the ship took a few load off my issues out here.”

Ryutaro and Xenon were now manning the weapons built on the airship,Sidney being the pilot as usual while Cheng and the Drawf Mechanic (he wanted in with the action too) would be responsible for the ship repairs during the stalling.

“Your magic-formed platforms hanging around the airship better not just disappear and drop the two of us down into the ocean while we do the repairing of the damages outside Clair!”

“Chill out foxy,it won't happen.”

“Sir (talking to the Drawf Mechanic),you sure you don't mind being part of this? It could get hairy pretty quickly.”
 
"Aye, I am very used to this sort of thing. In fact, I used to be an adventurer, like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee." The dwarf mechanic said.​
 
“You mean you got married and decided to take a more quieter life?”

(Writer note:"Taking an arrow to the knee" is a Nordic way of saying one is married)

Clair asked while Xenon contacted the ones on the island searching for their target.

“Be careful there you four. There's no telling if the dragon would also come after you girls.”
 
"Aye, by the time we got married we already have a child in her womb." The mechanic said.​
 
“Well. Let's all make sure we get out of this in one piece so you can get to your family shall we?”

“Target agitated. I'll keep him busy while the rest of you start your search.”

Scientia notified,the sound of the whirling tornadoes audible on his end.

“Amelia,are you sure you don't want the join the rest of the girls on land? I have a feeling they could use a little helping hand.”
 
The airship soon ascended up into the sky while the distraction (Scientia) in place. Amongst the clouds everyone onboard could see a pale white dragon whose wings were shrouded by crackling lightning.

Gaining visual,Xenon quickly noticed those on the ground.

“Rachelle,we found the dragon. If what Lorna said about the hypnosis spell is true then us confronting it now should make tracing the origin a lot more easier for you guys.”
