English = Unlike when you're riding a horse-drawn carriage, the strong winds past directly at my face.

My feet are in the air without any support, my body was teetering even with just a slight sway.

Even now the thought of falling over was terrifying, and I could not open my eyes.

''It's scary, but.... If Ghislain says so''

I took courage and tried to open my eyes that had been tightly closed.

There are no obstacles.

The moment I opened my eyes, the panoramic view of the Parterdeame has become wider.

''It should be the same scenery I see everyday, yet it looks much more vast, why is that.

The moment I wanted to take a breath, I held my head up and at that moment–

Ghislain's voice which always sounded, disappointed, was different today. Japanese = 馬車に乗っているときとは違い、強い風が顔へと直に吹き付けてくる.

宙に浮いた足元は心許なく、僅かな揺れにも身体がぐらついた.

今にも落ちてしまいそうな感覚が恐ろしくて、とても目を開けられそうにない.

わたしは思い切って、固く閉じていた目を開けてみた.

――遮るものが何もない. 開けた視界いっぱいに、パルテダームの全景が広がっている. 普段見ている景色と同じはずなのに、遥かに広大に見えるのは何故だろう. ギスラン 「どうだ. これでもまだ怖いと言うか？」

かすかに頭上で息を詰める気配を感じ、顔を上げようとしたそのとき――

憮然と聴こえたギスランの声は、常の不機嫌とは少し違う感情を含んでいる気がした.
