Chapter 87: Kaiō-sama

Upon landing on the tiny planet above Snake Way, Seraphine felt the oppressive force of its gravity, reminiscent of her experiences in the hyperbolic time chamber and her mother's gravity machine.

Seraphine: I knew it... There's a house here... Uh... (The planet gravity slams her on the ground) What's going on? Nng ngh... Nngh... (She struggles) What's with this ground? Hmm, it feels like the hyperbolic time chamber and my mother's gravity machine, but this is crazy! The more I try to fight against it, the harder it tries to pull me back down! Ah!

As she grappled with the unfamiliar gravity, Seraphine noticed a peculiar monkey-like creature nearby.

Seraphine: Hmmm, you wouldn't be Kaio-sama?

Kaio-sama: (laughs) You are right; he isn't me.

From a small house emerged a short, blue, chubby being with two antennas on his head. He wore divine black clothes with a large kanji that read "Kaio" on his front.

Kaio-sama: Alright, try coming at me... I'm going to see just how good you are.

Seraphine: Um, I'd love to, but... ever since I got here, I can barely move!

Kaio-sama: Where did you come from, Earth?

Seraphine: Uh huh.

Kaio-sama: Well, no wonder! The gravity on this planet is a lot stronger than what you're used to. Try jumping for me as high as you can!

Seraphine attempted to jump, but even reaching 20 meters proved challenging, and she fell back to the planet's surface.

Seraphine: Damn, it's no use... I can barely get myself off the ground.

Kaio-sama (thinking to himself): To be able to jump that high at this gravity... this girl has a lot of promise.

At last, Seraphine has found the universally-renowned Kaio-sama and convinced him to give her training. Too bad it will have to be on this tiny planet with gravity much stronger than that of Earth's!
