Above the clouds, through the vast blue expanse of the sky, with nothing but the wind and the sound of our own breathing filling our ears, wonders spread everywhere.
The world of Sins Paradise was flat and beautiful, with the horizon looming over the edge like an endless abyss. The land was a patchwork of green forests, winding rivers, and sparkling lakes. Mountains rose up like jagged teeth, and cities sprawled out like glittering jewels.
As we flew on, I watched the world unfold beneath us, marveling at its endless wonders.
Great deserts, vast oceans, and sprawling grasslands teeming with life.
Castles and buildings towered in the cities and sprawling villages, and I marveled at the great works of art and architecture that dotted the landscape.
This world was truly beautiful. But perhaps the most beautiful thing of all was the sky itself.
With the world being flat, nothing obstructed my view except for the white clouds and my own sight. Someday, I wanted to visit the edge of the world myself. I only heard about the setting back in the game and had no chance to find it.
It was a world of magic and wonder, and for a moment, we forgot all our worries, lust, and fears and simply basked in its beauty. After beautiful girls, I liked looking at beautiful scenery like this.
Once again, the reality that I was in a whole new world settled in, and a smile appeared on my face.
Or so I hoped before loud voices from my side destroyed the tranquility.
"S-Slow down, Arthur!!"
"Fufufu, this is fun!"
"I know you would say that, Emilia."
Currently, we were flying in the sky at a fast speed. Our hair was swaying around wildly due to the wind, and Eliza screamed loudly while holding onto my waist with all her power.
On the contrary, Emilia somehow giggled happily while holding my arm on the other side of Eliza.
"We are going to fall! We are falling! AAAAHH!!"
For a frail girl, Eliza held onto my waist strongly. Tears built up in the corner of her eyes; she was totally scared of what we were doing.
"Don't worry, Eliza. We won't be able to fall from this carpet." I reassured her, holding her shoulder closely and bringing her close to me.
"No no no, how can you say that! The wind is going crazy! And we are above the cloud! If we fall, we will become a paste, and it's scary!"
"You don't need to worry about that, student Eliza," Emilia responded to Eliza with a warm smile. She used one of her hands to hold her hair so it wouldn't fly anywhere or hit my face.
"Did you not learn anything in our class? I remember we've covered it already, something about magic item enhancement." She continued.
"T-Teacher, I know about that!" Eliza replied by shouting. "But something scary is scary!"
The tears that accumulated around the corner of her eyes began to fall onto her cheek.
I just found something new. So even when people could still revive, they were afraid of height? Even if they fell from this height, I could guarantee they would immediately die no matter what kind of surface they landed on.
Well, maybe if they landed on something really soft and bouncy, they could still survive with their status, but that was a rare case.
And about the enhancement Emilia talked about earlier…
"Emilia is right. This carpet has a few enhancements to make our travel comfortable."
Controlling its speed and letting it fly was one thing, but there were a couple more enhancements that made this vehicle my go-to one instead of the other designs and vehicles I had in my inventory.
First, its appearance fitted perfectly in a fantasy world.
Second, it allowed me to look at the scenery without any obstruction, which I sought from a flying vehicle. Added to the wind that I purposely didn't stop using the third enhancement, the experience of flying like this was marvelous.
And the last enhancement…
"There is an enhancement to keep us on top of the carpet's surface even if we go with a crazy maneuver. Rather, do you want to try flipping around in the sky?"
"NO!"
"Yes, please!"
"Hahaha, I was just joking."
Two different answers returned from the girls. I didn't need to tell which one said which, as it was already clear from their scared and excited expression.
Again, I didn't know Emilia would be this excited about flying in the sky. When I asked her why she would be so excited, she answered casually.
"I have wanted to fly in the sky since I was a child. So this is like a dream coming true. That's also why I learned <Wind Magic>. I've aimed for Lv 6 <Wind Magic> so I will be able to fly in the future."
That was such a childish dream for someone like Emilia. I wouldn't be surprised if she said her dream was to have an orgy with her students.
Well, it was a good thing I dominated her, and she was satisfied with only me.
Then I turned to Eliza. She still looked scared and refused to let go of me. My hand that held her went to her breast, and she didn't even notice it. It was firmer than Emilia's, probably because hers were a bit smaller and younger.
It wasn't my intention to take advantage of her like this, but I also wouldn't let this chance go and enjoyed the feeling of her breast.
We passed by various cities on our way. The magic carpet was even faster than a normal mage flying with Lv 6 <Wind Magic>, using a skill called <Fly>.
Those cities were similar to Bluerose Duchy, with medieval-looking cities and bustling with activities as it was still afternoon. Looking at those cities from the sky allowed me to judge their actual size, which was surprisingly big.
The biggest one was the territories of the Duke and Marquis, which could rival big cities on Earth, surrounded by walls.
Of course, I didn't know which territories were whose. But there was a teacher from the Royal Academy with me, and she remembered the map of Virtue Kingdom in her head, allowing her to point out which city was whose territory.
Almost all of them were bigger than Academy City. And then, at the end of those cities, a rather different scenery stretched wide.
A small city near the border with the Sin Kingdom looked more like a large village with various crops growing on the fields, larger than the residential area.
"We've arrived." Emilia pointed at the small city with no walls surrounding it, only wooden fences. "That's Rose Barony."
"F-Finally!" Eliza exclaimed with a weak voice.
However, my sight wasn't focused on the Rose Barony. Instead, I looked at the horizon far from the city, where the grass was colored red, and the blue sky was turning light purple. It was around 100 KM away from this place, but I was able to see it clearly.
The border separating the Virtue Kingdom and the Sin Kingdom wasn't just a normal national border. It was also the border of the world, separating two different areas with two different scenery, which created some magical border.
And in the middle of that border was a land with no life on it, a barren land spread 10 KM wide and traversing to the edge of the world. That barren land was where the war between the two kingdoms was waged.
Fortunately, there was no war waged today, and the atmosphere was calm. When there was war, I knew that the anxiety would spread to this place.
'So that's the famous border. Its atmosphere reminded me of Horizon Online.'
