Chapter II: The White Whale

The whale-shaped Over Gear, Val Albus, emerged from Babylon’s hangar and set sail through the clouds.

“It’s not as fast as I thought.”

“It could go as fast as Gungnir if I wanted it to, but we need to be mindful of the spirit energy and ambient magic we’re drawing in. If we go too fast, it will put too much of a strain on the system and we’ll probably lose other functionality like cruise control.”

“Wait, we’re not gonna crash if we run out of ambient fuel, are we?”

“No, don’t worry. We’d fall like a feather if that happened, just slowly losing altitude.”

...Yeah, but we’d still fall, right? What if we came feather-floating down on top of a city? That’d be bad!

I made a mental note not to go too fast unless it was an emergency.

“So, we’re out of Babylon for now...but where should we go?” Yumina, still seated in the captain’s chair and wearing her navigation visor, asked Doc Babylon for further instructions.

“South for now. Let’s move between the borders of Mismede and Ramissh. We’ll do a submarine test there.”

Oh yeah, there’s that inland body of water between those two countries, right? The Sapir Sea.

I suggested opening up a [Gate] and taking us straight there, but it was flatly rejected. Apparently, they wanted to do a flight test. After hearing that, I decided to just suck it up and wait. We weren’t going super fast, but we were certainly faster than a carriage.

I guess it’ll take a couple hours at this rate...

Yumina continued giving instructions to Albus, the two of them learning more about how to pilot Val Albus at the same time. The vehicle ascended, descended, came to a halt, reversed, then sped forward again. I was a bit surprised, since I’d expected to get motion sickness...but I was completely fine. Even though we were jerking around, I didn’t feel woozy or anything.

Doc Babylon, Elluka, and the professor were all tapping away at various consoles. Quun was helping them here and there. Kuon and I weren’t doing anything at all, however. We were just kind of staring at the big monitor, slowly getting bored at the unchanging scenery.

My son eventually grew bored enough to pull out diorama parts from his smartphone’s [Storage] app. He set them down on the floor and started putting them all together.

You brought your hobby out with you? You really do march to the beat of your own drum, kid...

I was kinda bored too, so I shrugged and started to help him.

Kuon started assembling small blocks, gluing them together to create walls. The castle Kuon was working on was the Regulus Empire’s. It was a sturdy castle with a rugged exterior that betrayed a long and storied history. I wasn’t confident enough in my diorama skills to help with the actual assembly, so my work was mostly relegated to preparing the pieces for Kuon.

I kept on stirring a slime-based material in a pot. If I didn’t keep it viscous, it’d get bubbles trapped in it.
