"You want me to fly?" I asked, pointing at myself with surprise.

Ashmir nodded affirmatively.

"Yes, that's the idea. To inspire the young Griffins to fly, you, Sihyeon, need to take the lead and demonstrate it yourself," she explained.

"But why this sudden suggestion?" I asked, still taken aback by the idea.

"Because the young Griffins see you as their guardian and follow your lead. By flying yourself, you'll naturally encourage them to follow suit," she replied calmly.

"I'm deeply sorry, but I'm just a normal human without wings or the ability to use magic."

Ashmir looked away as if she was searching for an answer.

"I don't have a solution for that either," she said.

"I guess this is too much to ask for," I said with a sigh.

"But wouldn't other demons have a solution?"

“……”

I looked anxiously at the other farm members.

Unfortunately, the farm members were already showing great interest.

"That sounds like fun,"

"With Sihyeon and the griffins' relationship, it's a reasonable opinion,"

"We could renovate one of our artifacts into a flying device,"

"No, let's make a separate wing component so Sihyeon can glide through the air,"

Andras and Lilia were already discussing potential flying devices, and even Kaneff expressed interest.

"Please, you don't have to go to such lengths for me. Maybe we can find a simpler solution," I tried to say.

"Don't worry, Brother Sihyeon. I'll make you a flying device even if it takes all night," Lilia said determinedly.

"Thanks, but…" I started.

"Don’t worry, Sihyeon. We will make sure you can fly," Andras said, cutting me off.

I was never worried about that.

Although the word … was up to the throat. I couldn't bear to disappoint them, so I stayed quiet.

Thus, the focus had now shifted from making the griffins fly to making me fly.

⏩ ⏩ ⏩ ⏩ ⏩

The longing to soar in the sky like a bird has been a cherished dream of humanity for ages, one that has been difficult to achieve.

But now, in the era where the skies are filled with airplanes and flying has become a routine reality, the desire to fulfill this dream still lingers.

At a farm located in a remote area of the demon world, the demons have come together to make flying devices, driven by their determination to bring this dream to life for a human.

Unfortunately, the only human on the farm, me, wasn't exactly thrilled about this situation.

"Ta-da! The Griffin 3 is finally ready!" Lilia exclaimed with pride as she pulled out the flying device she and Andras had created.

The device was designed to be attached to my back and had large wings that could fold and unfold.

As soon as Speranza and the baby griffins saw the Griffin 3, they erupted into cheers, as if they were an audience at a show.

"Wow! This is amazing, Lilia!" Speranza exclaimed with wide-eyed wonder.

Biip

Biip

Meanwhile, I looked at the flying device with suspicion, like I was encountering a street drug dealer. My expression grew darker with each passing moment.

Andras, noticing my hesitation, approached and asked,

"Sihyeon, is there anything you don't like?"

"No, it's not that I don't like it," I replied.

"You don't need to worry about safety either," Andras assured me. "We've thoroughly tested it and addressed any safety concerns during the design process."

Urki added, "And I've flown on it myself, it was completely fine."

Urki, with an innocent look, praised "Griffin 3" in an excited voice. I knew it well because I saw firsthand how he piloted the "Griffin 3."

The problem was that during the failure of ‘Griffin 1' and ‘Griffin 2', I saw Urki fall.

Of course, Urki, an Angel, used his wings to escape danger leisurely, but it was a pretty dizzying scene for the viewer.

As I was recalling the dizzying fall scene that happened, someone asked me in a low voice with a reluctant expression.

"Are you not doing it because you're scared?"

"Huh! You must be really scared."

Kaneff twitched the corners of his mouth and made a playful expression.

"Ugh. Boss, why are you here? You usually don't come out of the house… "

"How can I miss such an interesting sight? I'm going to sit here with Speranza and watch everything."

"huh!"

He smiled and patted Speranza's head.

It was the cheekiness that made me want to hit him once if it weren't for Speranza.

"Uhh.."

To be honest, it was scary.

The sight of Urki falling down because of the flying device made my heart throb, and my fingertips and toes nearly went numb.

But now I'm going to fly myself.

The rides at amusement parks had always been a challenge for me, and now I was faced with the decision of flying on this device.

"I'm really not a child. Don’t make fun of such things in a childish way?"

"Pff. I think it's cool that you didn’t hesitate to step up to do this without any fear in the face of such a reckless situation."

Lia comforted me by pushing Kanef away.

“Sihyeon. Don't push yourself too hard. Grify and Finny are important, but I think Sihyeon's safety is also important."

Ashmir, who was next to me, also added a word.

"I also think it's not good to overdo it either. Don't feel too pressured.”

I looked at ‘Griffin 3' without saying a word.

It was made by the genius Schnarpe siblings through trial and error, so there seemed to be no problem with its performance and safety.

Now I had only one choice left.

Griffy and Finny came next to me, who couldn't decide easily.

Biip?

– Biip! Biip!

I must have looked sad, so they hovered around and cried. Maybe they just wanted to play a prank, but it seemed to me as if they were trying to console me.

Just watching those guys quietly calmed my heart a little.

‘Okay! Let’s give it a try.’

The Schnarpe siblings toiled tirelessly to build the flying device and Ashmir and Urki promised to assist me in case of any danger. I couldn't be frightened and fidgeted

I don't know if the baby griffins will really be influenced by me, but I wanted to do my best as their guardian.

With the help of Andras and Lilia, I was firmly determined to wear the "Griffin 3." My heart trembled little by little at the heaviness of the flying device that I felt on my back.

"Brother Sihyeon. Do you remember what I explained to you?"

"I remember everything."

"You'll be running fast down the hill over there. Then everything will be fine."

I nodded with a nervous look at Lilia's words.

"Papa, good luck!"

"SIHYEON, cheer up!"

“Kuh-kuh! Look at how pale that guy’s face is.”

"Mr. Kaneff, please be quiet! Sihyeon, don't worry. Everything will be fine!"

With the support of the farm members, I stood on the steep hill. Andras's cry came from below.

"SIHYEON, you can go now." Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Nʘvᴇl(F)ire.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Whoo…

I shook my stiff limbs and started to run down the hill, trying to overcome my hesitation. Then, I ran down the hill before the hesitation grew.

– Tadadadat!

Maybe because of Griffin 3, which was heavier than I expected, it seemed difficult to speed up. Still, I ran down the hill with all my might, trying my best not to fall.

When I reached the halfway point, I started to feel anxious and feared I would crash.

Whirrrrrrrr!

Suddenly, I heard the sound of wind in my ears and my vision became blurry.

And when I came to my sense, I was already soaring in the sky.

"Wow!"

"He really flew!"

"SIHYEON!"

Biip!

Biip!

The voices of the farm members and the cries of the Griffins were heard from very far away. Before long, the sound of those calling me was buried in the strong wind.

At first, I was very nervous because of the anxiety that I was flying this high and the strong wind that constantly brushed my body, but as time went by, the tension gradually eased, and the anxiety that filled my heart turned into a sense of liberation and wonder.

"Wow…"

The people who were with me a moment ago seemed very small like dots. I could see the wide farm facilities at a glance, and I was able to see the scenery of the strawberry fields and Elden village in the distance.

The view of the farm and village from such a high sky made me feel very proud.

– Sihyeon, can you hear me?

"I can hear you!"

– Now, try to control the Griffin 3 slowly. Remember how to do it and don't change the altitude too much. I'll let you know if you're straying too far.

"All right!"

I followed her instructions and started to operate the device, changing direction with my hands.

Flap!

Whi-ing!

The wings moved and I changed direction freely as I intended.

At first, I struggled to control the movements, but after a few tries, I learned to navigate the winds with ease.

– Good job. If you keep on like that… Huh? Huh?!

"Lilia, what's going on?"

– Brother Sihyeon, look down! Look down!

"Down?"

Her urgent voice made me look down quickly.

Confused, I looked down, but I couldn't see anything out of the ordinary except for the grasslands and forests. I searched for Lilia when a familiar sound caught my attention.

Biip!

Biip!

"What?"

I lowered my head as much as I could to look down because I could hear a murky but clear cry.

There were two little griffins chasing after me, trying hard.

"Grify, Finny!"

Biip!

Biip!

At my delighted call, the two baby griffins once again let out loud cries.
