The Handbook for Completing Demi-Human Girls

Chapter 418: Emergency Landing (5k)

"Rumble rumble!"

"Ah hahaha! Outstanding!"

Even Fisher found it difficult to imagine exactly how this solitary diminutive boat plummetted from above the firmament, how it unceasingly shifted between the Crevice and Reality... He merely felt violent shaking spanning above and below spanning the surroundings... feeling the wooden boat's speed attaining a precipitously unimaginable rapidity... simultaneously additionally hearing Asuka Karasawa's shrieking alongside Helaire's laughter situated beside him.

Arduously narrowing his eyes... his palms obstinately gripping the verges spanning the wooden boat... Lifting his head peering ahead... conversely discovering Gou Wen unnoticeably already thoroughly losing his consciousness softly collapsing within the center spanning the boat's hull... Being gripped encompassing clothes spanning his body traversing identically poorly complexioned Mikhail guaranteeing he wouldn't get flung flying out... He twisted his head shooting a glance spanning the stern observing the Helaire who remained standing stably traversing without fault... uncontrollably loudly opening his mouth requesting,

"Когдаэтозакончится? (Russian: When will this end?)"

Fisher raised his eyebrows, not understanding a single word he uttered. He had completely forgotten they had already exited the Sanctuary right now. Naturally, he couldn't comprehend the other party's words. And right now, within their team... every single person spoke a different language.

Helaire tilted her ear... similarly shouting loudly,

"What did you say? I don't understand?!"

"..."

Mikhail refrained from speaking additionally... He merely felt the surrounding temperature incrementing bit by bit... The gargantuan Dragon God situated ahead harbored zero intent journeying navigating toward the Tree Continent... alternatively looping a circle circumscribing the cosmos's exterior surging soaring toward his old nest the Dragon Continent... Furthermore Helaire additionally didn't harbor the intent continuing following him... At this moment in time, situated exactly confronting this diminutive boat, resided the increasingly approximating planet, alongside the World Tree remaining exceedingly resplendent amidst the pitch-black night."Hiss hiss hiss hiss!"

The surfaces spanning the wooden boat plummeting spanning freefall spanning several tens of thousands meters aloft swiftly began heating up... Helaire standing spanning the stern faintly smiled... Extending ranging from spanning the illusory blue-gold wings spanning her back... an expanse of gentle morning light completely cocooned the entirety traversing the diminutive boat... Subsequently mimicking brandishing a whip lashing a top she unleashed a void-borne pointing finger traversing the air situated beside her... thereby instantly coercing the entirety traversing the wooden boat to start spinning right crossing mid-air.

"Blegh..."

The Asuka Karasawa beside him who could no longer endure her eyes rolling back into her head collapsed beside the bitterly enduring Fisher... While the Gou Wen positioned ahead additionally point-blank vomited white foam... causing Mikhail to silently retreat slightly... Furthermore Fisher who could additionally no longer endure shot a glance spanning the Helaire at the stern... loudly shouting towards her,

"Helaire!!"

"Don't rush, don't rush. Our current speed has already reached its limits, we can't go any faster."

"...You crazy woman."

Fisher was speechless to the pinnacle. Uncontrollably standing his body up... he arduously journeyed toward Helaire... Along with their rapid descent, the wooden boat ultimately transversed through the mesosphere entering atmospheric stratosphere... Coinciding exactly spanning nighttime right now... Hovering above spanning the cloudless Tree Continent... exclusively that rapid-movement tiny morning light boat seamlessly adjoining traversing the exceedingly distant magnificent World Tree resounded exceedingly distinctly conspicuous.

Lacking clouds to obstruct vision... the morning light buffering the boat identically dimmed bit by bit... Consequently that enormous continent nestled underneath the distant tree which thoroughly evaporated without a trace crossing the future first manifested itself crossing Fisher's visual scope... Gazing across that colossal land not a solitary smidgen inferior to the West Continent... finding it incredibly arduous conjuring explicitly exactly what manner traversing magnificent power coerced its thorough subsidence vaporizing crossing individuals' perception crossing traversing the Mythical War.

Yet at this moment he obviously possessed zero time to ponder such profound topics... He merely agilely arrived before Helaire... Looking at her appearance traversing having an incredibly exceptional time Fisher felt anger traversing arising from all corners... The Gou Wen alongside Asuka Karasawa standing behind already lost their consciousness... Although Mikhail remained conscious, it pertained solely traversing remaining capable traversing persevering presently...

"Helaire, decelerate... If this continues they're going to..."

Yet before concluding his words... Fisher immediately felt Helaire's facial features transforming brilliantly golden... Yet that didn't pertain tracking Helaire's indigenous luminescence, alternatively being something glittering tracking behind her illuminating her.

Staring blankly tracking turning his head backwards... he consequentially discovered abruptly lighting up tracking along the spans spanning that gigantic tree birthed expanses spanning pure golden silken threads... Subsequently tracking tracing these silken threads expanding outwards... enormous energies swiftly transmuted tracking into clusters spanning resplendently golden orbs of light... rapidly locking onto tracking approaching this suspended wooden boat plummeting downwards tracking bridging onto the precincts spanning the Tree Continent.

Every solitary resplendently golden orb of light ensconced gargantuan destructive power... exceptionally effortless tracking remodeling mountains and rivers... coercing Fisher to feel an abundance traversing danger...

"What are these things?"

"Ah, this ah... this pertains tracking the Elves' Universe Square Axis Artifact. Excruciatingly sensitive tracking toward spatiality, they deployed quite copious amounts spanning these things adjoining the peripheries crossing the Tree Continent... The destructive might pertains being quite formidable... Point-blank eating a solitary cannon blast myself would additionally portend sustaining severe injuries nah... Wondering suppose Fafnir soaring across would additionally portend sustaining hits... Presuming getting blasted our entire ship's populace would utterly conclude perishing..."

Fisher raised his eyebrows. Gazing at Helaire, he couldn't help asking,

"We are... supposed to be here celebrating longevity, right?"

"Mhm, exactly ah."

"Then why are they blasting us down?"

"Ah, about that... probably because I forgot to inform them we'd be arriving early. Ordinarily, the Elves come to receive us. We departed in a rush this time, solely to avoid bringing slaves or whatever, specifically didn't inform them and just came. Accurately speaking, we should be considered illegal border crossers? But don't you think this is very thrilling?"

Looking at the smiling Helaire before his eyes, Fisher truly felt his headache exacerbating... It seemed tracking being his inaugural encounter tracking entities or angels entirely disregarding orthodox logic handling affairs... Yet tracing backtracking onto the root, coercing tracking explaining explicitly her objectives tracking achieving doing this... then unequivocally aiming accessing traversing amusements.

Gazing tracking approximating Universe Square Axis Artifact advancing tracking nearer... those golden orbs of light wrapped traversing gargantuan wind sounds carrying overpowering 'Go Nowhere Without Success' imposing might cleaving traversing the air tracking approaching... coercing Mikhail staring into standing up the fine hairs crossing his body identically tracking locked spanning by hundreds traversing Novosibirsk Wind beam satellite cannons... those golden orbs up spanning reaching thirty to forty meters tall drawing tracking increasingly nearer... Helaire conversely brightly smiled standing her body up... Before Fisher managed to react she completely barefoot-stomped explicitly onto his chest kicking him down...

"Attention passengers, please fasten your seatbelts! The Morning Star is currently encountering turbulent airflow. Captain Helaire, taking command in this critical moment, is about to guide everyone through the storm! I repeat, please fasten your seatbelts securely!"

Four passengers, two already disconnected, the remaining two not faring much better either.

Helaire's golden short curly hair trembled ceaselessly from the howling wind... Yet she didn't mind a single bit, hoisting the enormous scythe in her hands... Spinning it, generating cutting power capable of cleaving through space.

If the Moon-Treading Ark was merely an ordinary Relic crafted by Michael—retained solely out of his nostalgia—this scythe was undeniably a genuinely top-tier item. It was the Ferrying Scythe capable of actively opening space.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

As space was disrupted, the method the Universe Square Axis Artifact employed to lock onto enemies was similarly jammed. The exorbitant orbs of light instantaneously trembled, completely losing their direction akin to headless flies. The loose white robes draping Helaire's body were blown wildly by the oncoming wind, abruptly revealing her soft bodily curves...

Mm, it was flat.

After all, she seemingly still hadn't determined her own gender... Solitary harboring personality traits heavily leaning toward the female orientation, nothing more.

She leisurely smiled, maneuvering the wooden boat precisely brushing tracing traversing the verges traversing two enormous orbs of light bypassing... The entirety traversing the ship completely encompassing her standing traversing the stern brandishing spinning the scythe... Let alone tracking deciphering exactly what magnitude traversing coolness alongside chic transcending... Trusting she herself concurred traversing identical notions.

"..."

Gazing upon the two orbs of light rapidly brushing past their ship's hull, for some unknown reason, Fisher surprisingly heaved a sigh of relief. As if such a crisis had finally passed. Yet, before he could thoroughly exhale the air from his lungs, he instantly witnessed a scene that might be etched into his memory for an eternity.

Before his eyes, Helaire charmingly spiraled the scythe... subsequently one moment traversing inattention from her wrist... that enormous scythe point-blank slipped traversing her grasp soaring launching traversing spanning adjoining Asuka Karasawa... Simultaneously the spatial tearing effect encompassing Abrupt End... Exposing the entirety traversing the wooden boat's coordinates point-blank into the optics traversing the Universe Square Axis Artifact...

Fisher's breath instantly hitched up traversing his throat... Whereas Helaire additionally awkwardly froze traversing her original spot... Subsequently extremely embarrassedly stroked her own head...

"Ehehe... slipped away..."

"You!"

"Rumble!!"

Before Fisher's words could conclude, the two orbs of light behind them plummeted explosively. Within the tranquil night, they resounded identically tracking stupendous fireworks deafening traversing heaven and earth... The ferocious aftershocks rippled expanding navigating crossing traversing the vast firmament progressing crossing exceedingly exceedingly distant... Thoroughly outshining the lackluster moon nestled within the sky.

"Were you scared?"

That ferocious explosion didn't expropriate their lives. Because exactly traversing one solitary second tracing preceding the explosion... Fisher's optical purview instantly permeated completely traversing alongside a gentle white light... Subsequently they emerged exactly adjacent to traversing the peripheries spanning the Tree Continent... roughly exclusively existing below one thousand meters altitude bridging traversing crossing within traversing the troposphere.

The Tree Continent at night was profoundly quiet. Below, occasional animal cries and the rustling of leaves blown by the wind could be heard... Everything appeared exceptionally peaceful. Only the several passengers aboard the ship had been frightened out of their wits, the roaring of their hearts still echoing by their ears.

Fisher stared blankly as he sat up. He only saw their wooden boat currently descending slowly right through mid-air at an exceedingly sluggish pace... Nighttime here... Unknown tracking presuming hallucination... Fisher entirely felt identically darker significantly compared tracking traversing the era he resided traversing... Erupting tracking the indigenous gigantic World Tree traversing nighttime inherently rendering tracking almost transparent... That golden luster categorically didn't pertain being an intrinsic endowment... alternatively tracing spanning sunlight penetrating traversing leaving tracking within its body...

The air here was humid, a mixture of plant and ocean scents, carrying a refreshing essence distinct from the aftermath of rain.

Dressed in white robes, Helaire sat quietly at the stern, legs extended over the side of the boat, gently swaying. As if that madwoman in high spirits earlier wasn't her... It wasn't until she turned to look at him, asking if he was scared, that the teasing smile on her face confirmed her exceedingly deplorable personality.

"Oh... Just now I even thought about drinking vodka... I swore before, I absolutely have to drink vodka before I die. (Russian)"

"...I don't understand what you're saying."

Behind him, Mikhail's body had also gone slack. He lay on the inside of the boat, panting, muttering in Russian something Fisher couldn't understand. Fisher identically replied back with a sentence in the Nari Language. Merely speaking traversing halfway he suddenly sat up tracking surveying encompassing Helaire... Seemingly experiencing Somewhat Unbelievable.

Just now, the language she used to ask him was the Nari Language?

"You can speak the Nari Language?"

"Yup, exactly... just learned it from you."

"...That fast?"

"Exactly that fast."

Fisher provided no further response. Helaire withdrew two small boxes from the storage-capable Space-Time Capsule, subsequently tossing them to Fisher and Mikhail. Simultaneously repeating once utilizing the Nari Language and the otherworld's Russian,

"Rest assured, I already considered the language issue before coming. I asked Lord Michael for something that would allow you all to converse freely. The Dragon Continent has a Demi-Human Race called the Brain Demon Race. As long as they are present, everyone on the scene can communicate without barriers. Lord Michael explored this capability in detail before, crafting this gadget..."

Fisher and Mikhail opened the boxes, thereby witnessing the translucent gel-like peculiar substance resting quietly within... Their complexions instantaneously mutated into something peculiar.

According to previous experiences handling Angel Michael's toys... Fisher identically lacked the cognizance deciding exactly whether Michael designated traversing this item's shape deliberately traversing accidentally.

Nonetheless, he additionally swallowed that gel jelly proceeding navigating Helaire's directive... Subsequently his facial contours lit traversing bit by bit embracing crystal-clear stria... Reopening tracking traversing speaking again... their words possessed the capability traversing being comprehended spanning covering crossing the others.

"As for them... Hmm, let's wait until they wake up before feeding it to them. I didn't expect them to be so weak, unable to endure even this level... The little human girl is one thing, but this Whale-kin should be near the Thirteenth-Tier, how could he be even less enduring than the little girl?"

"If you had provided some prior warning regarding the danger level of this journey, perhaps they'd be slightly better off than their current state."

"But if I did that, would it still be considered interesting? Many things become extremely boring once known in advance... the unknown is what's most fun after all."

"No, at least humans generally fear the unknown."

"Oh?"

Helaire cupped her chin and sat back inside the ship. Looking at Fisher, she smiled and said,

"But is that really the case? Life naturally feels fear toward things it knows nothing about, but that's merely one facet after all. The other facet comprises exceedingly hard to detect excitement and curiosity. Although relatively difficult, I harbor a deep love for this 'Totally Unexpected' amusement. It's solely a pity reality constrains fulfilling my wishes. Still, if others can experience this unexpected joy on my behalf, I'd also be exceedingly happy..."

"..."

Fisher roughly understood what she meant by 'constrains fulfilling my wishes'. Just like this occasion... Although the situation earlier seemed tremendously perilous... It was glaringly obvious Helaire knew exactly what she was doing. Otherwise, she wouldn't have effortlessly rescued a ship full of people at the very last moment... For her, performing traversing such was demonstrably inadequate satisfying her thoroughly.

Fisher didn't delve deeper tracking pursuing this subject matter... alternatively encompassing surveying tracking traversing encompassing dense forest nestled below traversing the wooden boat... opening tracking querying,

"What's our arrangement going forward?"

"Hmm, the longevity celebration is still a month away anyway... From here... let me see... It seems like the realm of 【Tsubaki】, right? Walking from here to the World Tree takes exactly a month... Absolutely exactly."

The noun Helaire articulated was a very short, single-syllable word. Fisher chewed on this name for a moment, asking somewhat puzzledly,

"...Tsubaki? Is this the name of a nation on the Tree Continent?"

Beside them, Mikhail additionally turned his ear tracking attentively listening... Seemingly comparably harboring an interest traversing topic crossing traversing encompassing other worlds.

"No, this is the name of an Elf. Including the Elf King, there are exactly one hundred and six Elves, their names are all such single characters. And the Tree Continent is vast. Categorized encompassing the five noble ranks bypassing tracking descending... The Elf King partitioned covering navigating ninety-plus vassal states comprehensively... Apportioning tracking conveying Tree Continent's territories covering navigating these Elves aiming commanding..."

Vassal states?

Fisher abruptly thought of the Northern Border. However, right afterwards he suddenly remembered that the Phoenix originally came from the Eastern Continent... which implies the Tree Continent migrating to the Northern Border. It was highly plausible they subsequently carried the method Elves utilized to manage their nation over to the Northern Border... Even though traversing succeeding the Eastern Continent submerging... this system managed bridging surviving marvelously bypassing traversing transmitting tracing species previously oppressed encompassing traversing Elves onto differing alien locales... seamlessly encompassing traversing all succeeding bridging succeeding the era Fisher inhabited...

Mikhail conversely brushed his chin, declaring opening tracking mouth,

"So... We currently plummeted onto traversing nestled within a vassal state governed encompassing navigating tracking traversing traversing an Elf titled 'Tsubaki'. What corresponds traversing this Elf's noble rank?"

"He was enfeoffed as the 【Tsubaki Earl】 by the Elf King... The sovereign of a diminutive nation nesting spanning traversing the frontiers spanning navigating tracking Tree Continent... His Tier rests approximately abutting Sixteenth-Tier bridging... However, it's touted addressing portraying an exceedingly benevolent Elf. Distinguishing bypassing traversing contrasting differing spanning vassal states rigorously adhering spanning navigating traversing 'Li', Tsubaki comports exceedingly tolerantly tracking addressing handling differing species. Portends addressing an exceedingly merciful sovereign. Ergo navigating explicitly intentionally selecting navigating our landing spot encompassing this location."

"So that's how it is..."

Fisher gazed encompassing traversing the exceedingly rapidly converging gargantuan jungle nesting traversing underneath... An expanse encompassing vibrant overflowing vitality abruptly barged permeating traversing covering crossing his line of sight... Coercing traversing him tracking exclusively obsessing spanning sweeping glancing scanning tracking peering capturing visualizing tracking traversing the imagery arrayed ahead.

However... the ensuing night scenery unfolding intersecting exploring bridging presented traversing incredibly impenetrably murky... Even alongside his optical acuity proved thoroughly incapacitated ascertaining the exact scenarios manifesting beneath... Exclusively relenting abandoning bypassing retracting crossing backwards to the wooden boat's periphery... Awaiting encompassing traversing navigating Helaire leading navigating encompassing their plummeting onto traversing the ground surface... Commencing spanning exploring tracking their traversal navigating crossing traversing Tree Continent's journey extending tracking spanning.

Spanning crossing trailing traces encircling spanning white foam remaining spanning exploring tracing trailing navigating traversing bordering Gou Wen's mouth's corners... Asleep splayed out limply bordering traversing traversing sprawlingly encompassing bypassing... Spanning spanning tracking the trailing trailing tracing gargantuan whale tail nesting tracing spanning his posterior sporadically slapping traversing crossing traversing circumventing the ship's hull's sides... Repercussions encompassing traversing vibrating generating traversing slapping sounds reverberating exploring traversing... Trailing pursuing encompassing traversing uttering indistinct unintelligible phrases spanning traversing spanning within his mouth... Mikhail's ears twitched subtly... Exceedingly abruptly snaring deciphering crossing traversing encapsulating the Relic swallowed previously spanning translating interpreting traversing tracing the phrases...

"Wifey ah... Wifey..."

Mikhail's complexion instantly blackened... Unfathomable tracking discerning discovering whether reminiscing traversing encompassing some unpleasant occurrence... Coercing him spanning addressing spewing traversing sighing crossing traversing spanning resignation... Depositing encompassing discovering sitting navigating tracing shifting distancing further proceeding encompassing separating tracking spanning Gou Wen.

While Asuka Karasawa... curled up traversing encompassing similarly sleeping deeply encompassing pursuing traversing adjoining Fisher's flank portended exceedingly placid... Although encountering tracing traversing her lips' identically manifesting encompassing subtle twitching... Conversely trailing the uttered phrases encompassed excessively minuscule... Point-blank assigning deciphering exploring diagnosing the babblings spanning attributing interpreting addressing intersecting spanning nightmares encompassing traversing encountering navigating reaching tracking utmost traversing extremities encompassing traversing fearfulness alongside spanning..."

"Subhuti... What are your thoughts..."

Simultaneously... traversing the synonymous identical moment encompassing navigating encompassing... Navigating encompassing an exceedingly distant bypassing traversing exceedingly remote region traversing the Tree Continent spanning crossing... Adjoining navigating tracing bridging traversing towering gargantuan palace's apex ensconced traversing bathed spanning crossing sunlight... An expansive encompassing yet seemingly bottomless spanning traversing navigating traversing Water Abyss... Rippled exploring traversing spanning manifesting sequentially traversing trailing undulating reverberating intersecting crossing waves... Transmuting spanning the diagonally reflecting sunlight interpreting navigating exploring interpreting intersecting transmuting tracking traversing into scattered crossing exploring traversing spanning tracking dazzling speckles...

Within the swimming pool crossing... Faintly exposing deciphering traversing spanning trailing exploring diagnosing capturing recording tracing traversing an indistinguishable murky imagery manifesting... Furthermore intersecting bridging navigating embracing exploring encompassing the imagery navigating traversing pinpointing addressing capturing scanning spanning exclusively that singular traversing Fisher draped intersecting enveloping encompassing angelic white robes reclining traversing crossing an expanse spanning encompassing traversing nocturnal night sky illuminated traversing exploring intersecting scanning tracking encompassing navigating traversing tracking... Sweeping glancing viewing tracing spanning encompassing spanning viewing tracing navigating tracking penetrating visualizing tracking exploring referencing descending scenery below.

Beside spanning the traversing covering pool's waters... an indifferent female voice's murmured whisper abruptly resounded,

"Désolé, Tu dois mourir."

(French: Sorry, you have to die)

The waves spanning navigating traversing interpreting intercepting intersecting evaluating inside bridging traversing traversing the pool's waters' spans dissipated bit by bit... The imagery encompassing Fisher similarly vanished navigating bridging mapping tracking interpreting spanning tracing completely navigating... Trailing mapping discovering embracing tracing analyzing penetrating interpreting scanning investigating encompassing intersecting the sunlight outside... That incredibly profoundly profound connecting traversing Water Abyss mapping spanning tracing penetrating radiating examining enveloping encompassing interpreting covering analyzing displaying strands evaluating encapsulating encompassing translating spanning trailing... strands traversing penetrating interpreting examining exploring tracking pale golden hues...

That pertained spanning examining measuring evaluating predicting observing capturing tracing traversing representing encapsulating addressing interpreting pinpointing spanning tracking analyzing tracing encompassing observing interpreting translating encompassing exploring interpreting... the spanning traversing crossing capturing tracking evaluating measuring tracing observing navigating tracing penetrating evaluating encompassing translating... World Tree's luminescence.
