Komatsu's Love Defense

Chapter 108 City in the Sky

【Castle in the Sky】Located at an altitude of about 2 meters, the Castle in the Sky is embedded in the vast blue sky. It is quietly suspended, as if the magic of nature has carved this magical land so delicately and mysteriously.

In this sky city, there are all kinds of vegetables growing here, and the leaves are shining green in the sun. They seem to be the guardians of the sky city, bringing vitality and vigor to this land.

A Lu landed on the vines and couldn't help shouting: "We are here, Xiaosong! This is the vegetable field in the sky, the vegetable sky!"

I hugged A'lu's neck tightly, unable to suppress the surging emotions in my heart. The excitement surged into my heart like a tide. I could clearly feel my heartbeat accelerating, and I was filled with endless expectations and yearning for this mysterious land.

My eyes gradually became moist and tears flowed uncontrollably. They were tears of emotion and joy.

The sunlight in the sky is particularly dazzling. It shines through the clouds and covers the land with a layer of golden glow.

A Lu stood on the vines, feeling the fierce sunlight, raised his hands to cover his eyes, but still could not resist the excitement and joy from the bottom of his heart: "So... so dazzling... It's no wonder that it has been in the dark clouds until now, and this place is closer to the sun than the ground.

This warmth, more than anything else, is evidence of a passage through the troposphere into the lower stratosphere. This is a region of air above the equator, so it’s about 2 meters above sea level.”

"Look, Xiaosong, there is land above the clouds at an altitude of 2 meters. Is it right there? The vegetable fields in the sky [vegetable sky]!" A Lu looked into the distance at the land not far away, his heart full of anticipation and excitement.

When I looked up at the city in the sky, a breathtaking sight appeared before my eyes: a vegetable sanctuary suspended in the sky, bathed in the dazzling sunlight, like a treasure bestowed by nature on the world, emitting a dazzling light that was dazzling to the eyes.

A Lu jumped continuously on the vines in the clouds, his figure looked so agile and energetic in the sun. He couldn't wait to get closer to the land and reach the place he longed for.

When A Lu finally reached the land, he squatted down and gently stroked the clouds under his feet. The clouds were soft and light, as if they had life.

A Lu gently touched the grass on the land, with an expression of disbelief on his face: "It's unbelievable... the grass is really rooted in the clouds."

Ah Lu took a deep breath and sniffed the rich smell of soil in the air, which was a mixture of fresh grass fragrance: "This is the fragrance of deep and rich soil. If this is the case, it shouldn't be a problem for me to stand on it."

A'lu stood up and carefully stepped onto the land above the sky with me on his back. As soon as A'lu's feet touched the ground, he felt a wonderful touch, as if he was stepping on clouds, soft and light. This feeling made him a little unsteady, as if he was floating gently.

A Lu turned around and said to me excitedly, "How amazing! Standing on the clouds! Xiao Song, you come down and try it too!"

I slid off his back and sat down on the soft grass. My legs were still weak from the dangerous storm and I couldn't stand up.

Ah Lu's mouth corners slightly raised, his eyes flashing with a barely perceptible hint of teasing, he asked: "Hahaha, what's wrong with you, Xiaosong? Are your legs still weak because of fear?"

I sat quietly on the green grass, opened my mouth slightly, and breathed softly, trying to calm my heart that was beating violently with excitement.

I slowly reached out and took off the heavy goggles, helmet and oxygen mask that fit tightly to my face. Inside was a face full of wrinkles, as old as an 80-year-old man.

I turned my head and looked at A Lu, showing a relaxed smile: "I always feel like I have walked through the gates of hell, Mr. A Lu!"

Ah Lu opened his eyes wide and locked his gaze on me, as if he had seen something extraordinary. He was so shocked that he shouted, "You...you've grown old, Xiaosong!"

I held the oxygen mask in my hand and looked at A-Lu curiously: "Huh...really?"

"He's just a little old man, he looks to be at least 80 years old!" A Lu pointed at my face, the corners of his mouth twitching.

I scratched my head awkwardly, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere: "Ah... well... there were several times when even my past life flashed before my eyes like a revolving lantern, so..."

"You even don't know about your past life. What kind of horrible experience did you go through? What is the past life anyway, you guy!" After hearing what I said, A Lu's eyes widened, and it was obvious that he couldn't understand what I said.

I smiled and shook my head, not going to explain any further. Some things may not be understood even if you tell them, so I chose to remain silent.

A Lu looked at me, as if he wanted to ask something, but finally chose to respect my silence. He turned around and continued walking towards the direction of the Sky City.

I followed A'lu silently, looked up at his tall figure, my heart filled with gratitude.

"Thank you, Mr. Alu. I heard your words clearly during that storm, and they made me feel very reassured." I said softly, my voice full of sincerity.

A Lu was silent for a long time, staring into the distance silently, as if thinking about something important.

After a long time, A Lu slowly took a step forward and continued to walk forward, saying softly: "I should be the one to say thank you!"

Full of curiosity, I quickly quickened my pace, caught up with A'lu's tall and straight figure, and shouted at the top of my voice: "Mr. A'lu, why are you suddenly saying thank you to me?"

A Lu suddenly turned around with a smile on his face: "It doesn't matter what, I will protect you well during the journey!"

Me: O_o??? Well, this guy A Lu still refuses to admit it!

A Lu and I continued to walk deeper into the Sky City. As we went deeper, our vision gradually widened. The outlines of the mountains and trees in the distance were already vaguely visible, looming in the clouds and mist.

The air around us is filled with floating clouds, thick or thin, gathering or dispersing, like elves in the sky, light and free.

Ah Lu slowly walked to a cloud, squatted down, stretched out his hand and gently touched the white cloud in front of him: "Oh... so that's it..."

Seeing A Lu's strange behavior, I couldn't help but feel puzzled, and quickly asked, "What's wrong, Mr. A Lu?"

A Lu slowly lowered his head, his face almost touching the white cloud, sniffed it carefully and said, "It smells like ash... This cloud contains a lot of volcanic ash that flew up from the ground. It can be said that the ash froze to form this cloud, and the grass absorbed the minerals and thrived."

I walked closer to Alu out of curiosity and tried to touch the clouds. They felt soft and warm. "So that's how it is... These clouds contain a lot of nutrients that can help grass take root."

A Lu's whole body was pressed against the ground, and his hands kept groping the grass beneath him: "There are many active volcanoes on the ground nearby. I remember it was very close to the fiber volcano. The ash from the fiber volcano is rich in nutrients!"

Then, A Lu pressed the ground under his feet a little harder and continued, "Even a heavy body like me can easily bear it, which shows how excellent the soil texture here is! Maybe, under the influence of this strong upward airflow, their roots have been deeply rooted in the ultra-dense and extremely rich gray cloud below, intertwining and entwining with each other."

I sniffed carefully and smelled the clear air. “Come to think of it, since we arrived here, it’s no problem even if we take off the oxygen mask.”

A Lu slowly stood up, took a step, and continued walking towards the Sky City. As he walked, he explained, "It's so lush here, it must be because oxygen is generated through photosynthesis. And after entering the stratosphere, the airflow stabilized all of a sudden, and the slight warming feeling is also because of this."

I followed Alu, walking slowly and listening to his story, my heart filled with longing and curiosity for the city in the sky: "This is really a good place to live, it's simply a paradise in the sky!"

In this way, we moved forward all the way, towards that mysterious and desirable place. My heart was full of anticipation and excitement, wanting to see the true appearance of the sky city and explore its mysteries and wonders.
