Chapter 985: Tokyo Tower
Tokyo Tower is a communications and observation tower in the Shiba-koen district of Minato, Tokyo, Japan. At 332.9 meters (1,092 ft), it is the second-tallest structure in Japan. The structure is an Eiffel Tower-inspired lattice tower that is painted white and international orange to comply with air safety regulations.
Built in 1958, the tower's main sources of income are tourism and antenna leasing. FootTown, a four-story building directly under the tower, houses museums, restaurants and shops. Departing from there, guests can visit two observation decks. The two-story Main Deck (formerly known as the Main Observatory) is at 150 meters (490 ft), while the smaller Top Deck (formerly known as the "Special Observatory") reaches a height of 249.6 meters (819 ft).
When they saw this tower, Haru, Sumire, Charlotte, and Tabane realized how lucky the main character and Ash Roller were.
Haruyuki, who was the main character, had an ability to fly and his speed was very fast which made his transportation easier.
Ash Roller was also very good since he owned a motorbike that made him able to move around easily.
Both of them had a means of transportation which allowed them to move a long distance without any trouble.
But Haru, Sumire, Charlotte, and Tabane didn't have that. They could only run as fast as possible toward the Tokyo Area. Even though Sumire was able to fly, there was only wood, greenery, etc in the stage of Fairy World. There wasn't any metal and Sumire couldn't use her power in this condition.
Haru and Tabane had faster speed among the four of them and they picked both Charlotte and Sumire on their back running toward the Tokyo Tower.
The distance between Tokyo Tower and their condo was quite far. They were living in Suginami and the location of Tokyo Tower was in Minato. They also needed to use a train and they needed to fight some players along the way.
It took them an hour before they had arrived in Tokyo Tower.
Unlike normal Tokyo Tower, because of the Stage, its shape had been changed from a metal tower into a large pillar of mountain with various greenery which encircled it.
If he made a comparison this shape of Tokyo Tower would be similar to Pillar Mountains China.
"It's beautiful..." Sumire nodded and thought to take a picture of it.
"But do we need to climb it?" Tabane asked.
It was beautiful, everyone agreed with it, but climbing it was very troublesome.
"Why not? Just think of it as a means to train," Haru said. He took a deep breath and looked at his Special Gauge.
"Well, I guess I'll start," Charlotte said and manipulated her drones. She had tried to fly using her drones and she needed a perfect imagination to do that.
Everyone looked at Charlotte quietly before they saw her slowly floating.
"This...."
Tabane was surprised and asked, "Since when did you learn it?"
"Shh... don't bother me first, we can talk at the top. I need to concentrate!" Charlotte said and started to leave them, flying toward the top of Tokyo Tower.
"Then me next," Sumire said and took out a metal plate which she had taken from the train before. She destroyed some parts of the train and took the metal part as a means to fly. She placed the metal plate on the ground before stepping on the top of it. She used her magnet manipulation to float slowly toward the Tokyo Area.
For both Charlotte and Sumire, climbing to the top of Tokyo Tower had become their means of training for their new abilities.
"How about you?" 2x
Haru and Tabane asked at the same time.
"I'll answer your question first," Haru said.
Tabane nodded in response.
"I'll swim after I've entered this pillar mountain," Haru said.
"Swimming, huh..." Tabane felt a bit jealous of Haru's ability, but there was nothing that could be done since each other had their own ability and speciality.
"I'll wait for you," Haru said since he thought that this woman hadn't developed a way to climb besides using a normal means.
Tabane took a deep breath and said, "No, you can go first. I can develop my ability as soon as possible." She jumped and tried to do a second jump in the air, but she failed, falling on the ground. She pondered for a while before doing another jump to the sky and this time she was successful.
Tabane looked at her Special Gauge and it decreased when she failed, but didn't decrease when she succeeded. She smiled then quickly jumped in the air, reaching the top of tower slowly, but she didn't say anything to Haru since she needed to concentrate at this moment.
Looking at Tabane, Haru was surprised and thought that this woman was really a genius. He saw that Charlotte and Sumire were also slowly moving toward the top of the Tokyo Tower. He rubbed his nonexistent nose on his Duel Avatar and thought that he was the only one who didn't have the ability to move in the sky.
Sumire could use a metal plate to fly, Charlotte could use her drones to fly, and Tabane jumped in the air to be able to move in the sky.
But Haru....
Haru shook his head and entered the pillar mountain before swimming toward the top of the mountain. His "physical permeation" ability made him able to move freely around a matter.
To make his mobility better, he swam rather than running or walking since it was more convenient to swim.
Sumire, Tabane, and Charlotte who did their best to climb to the top were surprised when they saw Haru who was swimming near the surface on the pillar mountain. His speed was so fast that he overtook them quickly. Their lips twitched, and they felt challenged by him. They moved quickly and didn't want to be the last one.
It didn't take him a long time before he reached the top of the mountain. He stood up while overlooking the surrounding area from this spot. He had to admit that the scenery in front of him was so beautiful that it was out of this world. He wanted to take a deep breath, but he didn't have a nose.
However somehow he could feel the fresh air in this place. Then he turned when he heard a noise from behind. He could see a small house on the top of this pillar mountain, but that wasn't the main problem since he could see a player who was sitting on the top of wheelchair looking at him.
Both of them stared at each other for a while.
"Is this place yours?" Haru asked.
"No, I only own a house here, but the surrounding area is free," the player said.
Haru observed the player in front of him and knew that the name of this player was a Sky Raker.
Sky Raker wore a pink dress with a deep blue brooch along with an equally white sun hat. She also sat in an ornate wheelchair.
Contrastingly, Sky Raker also looked at the player in front of her and noticed that this player was Ocean Stingray. Even though she wasn't active for a while, she often heard the news within the "brain burst". She didn't know what this guy was planning on this place, but she knew that he wasn't alone.
However, when she saw the rest of them, she opened her mouth wide since Charlotte, Sumire, and Tabane were able to fly to the top of the mountain.
"Three flying players!"
