Chapter 135 – Episode 122 – Chit, It’s a Trap! (2)
“…Tch. Is it a trap?”
I was so dumbfounded that I spit out nonsense without even realizing it.
What is this. Even though I really knew everything, I got hit. Why did this happen?
He said that to Lisbeth and then walked in on his feet like this.
It hits the goal. Really… Was it this crazy? What is my horse head?
“…Ha. Really…”
I sighed and got up and looked around.
Fortunately, I don’t think I’m going to get hit, seeing as Bibora and her subordinates are nowhere to be seen…
What then Is the purpose of just keeping it locked up?
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry Mr. Sema…”
As I approached to check the rocks blocking the entrance, I heard Marthe’s voice like a small muttering through the rocks.
If you’re going to be sorry, don’t do anything to be sorry. Are you ill?
“Ha… What is it? Did you take any money?”
Feeling the need to be more polite now, she just spoke openly and asked audibly over the wall.
At the same time as asking, I knocked on the wall and started to roll my head, thinking about how to get out of here.
“…No. I got involved with Mr. Sema because of my patheticness.”
Hmm… Judging by the sound, it doesn’t seem to be as thick as I thought…
If I hit my soccer kick in a row… Wouldn’t it?
“It sounds like an excuse… But actually, I have a sick mother and a little sister.”
Excuse is right cub What are you trying to pretend?
“My family is my reason for living. I lived an adventurer’s life where I could earn a lot of money even at a young age for my family, and I became a hero knight belonging to the kingdom after seeing them recruiting hero knights in the kingdom.”
While listening to Marte’s story, I looked around and saw that it was blocked by a wall, and there seemed to be no escape other than the entrance.
“With the income I earned after becoming a hero knight and the money I earned during my adventures, I was able to somehow recover my mother who was terminally ill… But in that situation, I couldn’t afford to find a new house, so I stayed with my mother for a while. My sister was living in a shabby house on the outskirts of the capital.”
Oh yeah Enzyme, enzyme.
For now, putting aside the front where Marte is… Wouldn’t you like to say that the other road is blocked?
“That seems to have gone into the ears of Bivora, who needed help from an outsider a while ago. After hiding through stealth and camouflage and abducting my sister when she went to burial, she told me that she would release her sister if I kept her locked up here, Mr. Sema.”
Did you? You are suffering so much.
But being pitiful is pitiful, and being fucked up is fucking shit.
“After imprisoning Sema and a member of the guild here, Bivora said that she would offer Clea to give up her saintess in exchange for freeing them once the test is over.”
“Oops. Don’t kill Thank you.”
Even in the situation where Bibo became a criminal, it seems that she has no intention of killing us.
Was the reason why Marte didn’t say anything even when she left Lisbeth away because she thought I was enough for the threat?
For now, you can rest a little. There is no change in the need to get out quickly, but it can be said that there is still room for the safety of the two and for the end of Clea’s test.
She said, “I couldn’t give up on her sister, so I accepted it, but she told me that she would never allow anyone to hurt you or anything. Even if Bivora has a different mind, I will guarantee your safety… Even if my sister… Goes wrong… Your safety… So…”
Hearing Marte’s trembling voice, it seems that the situation is understandable.
Thanks to her hiding the evidence that she is Bibo well, she thinks that at this point, she will be able to cover everything up with Clarisse becoming her saintess. She still has a hard time moving, so she took Marte while looking for someone to move instead.
And Marten, above all else, because her precious family became a hostage, you became involved in Bora’s crime, and as her warrior, you secured our safety with a minimum conscience, so please stay calm, right?
Oh, I’m so grateful that I’m about to cry. I should bow
She struggled and came out, but don’t you even think about Clea, who is in a situation where she has to give up her saintess because of you guys?
You bastard who used to be so strong… Thanks to you, the impression of the warriors who grew up in me these days has been completely ruined, bastard. What’s so messy?
They are obviously nice guys, but it’s a bit problematic to say that they are the chosen special human beings that Paul boasted about.
Of course, I’m also a sick person who passed over even though I knew everything.
…Write. Except for the entrance, everything is just a wall. Then rather go inside… Huh?
…What is that
“…Hey. What is this place?”
“Yeah? …Ah. According to Bivora, she said that about three years ago, a dungeon suddenly appeared in the basement of the mansion. It’s a unique dungeon that doesn’t have monsters and doesn’t disappear, so it’s said that it was used for hiding things.”
“No, that’s not it, like that altar.”
“Ah… I said I didn’t know what it was, even if it was rain. They say that there is something like a barrier or something, but they can’t get close to it, but because of the usefulness of the dungeon, they were just ignoring it after looking into it for a bit…”
Barrier… Yes. This dungeon. That’s it.
The strange dungeon where the memories of the goddess were sealed, and she obtained the mine form while looking at those memories.
The difference is that it is just a small table-type altar, not the large stair-type altar that I saw then…
So, is it because there is nothing in the dungeon but it doesn’t disappear because it’s a strange dungeon like that?
“I left food and water inside. If my sister’s safety is confirmed, I will take responsibility for Bivora and make sure she’s arrested…”
Marte’s bitter excuse continues, but it comes in with one ear and goes out as it is.
Why? I can’t take my eyes off that altar because of the strange obsession that I have to go to that altar right now.
Was it because of this strange attraction that I followed Marte without even realizing it?
“…Then. I’ll come later. Mr. Sema.”
When Marthe’s voice cut off and the sound of her small, distant footsteps disappeared.
I was approaching the altar, swallowing my saliva.
Crazy… What are you doing with this. I have to leave soon. Why do you care so much about this?
The previous altar just gave me a mysterious feeling, but I didn’t feel this strange.
From the moment I saw the altar, I felt strangely thirsty, and I couldn’t stop walking because of my impatience.
There must have been a barrier. As if there hadn’t been anything like that from the beginning, he came right up to the altar before he knew it.
And when I looked down at the low altar with a trembling feeling, the strange decorations placed on it caught my eye.
This… A candlestick? Tree decorations? Work of art? What should I do?
An indescribably strange tree-like decoration placed on top of the altar.
Two strangely ominous black marbles hang from the ends of two of the many winding branches.
Looking at the bead, which is both like a fruit and like a decoration, unknown sensations wrap around my body and I can’t stop trembling.
What is it It’s a very unpleasant and scary feeling… But on the other hand, a strange feeling of excitement and anticipation…
“…Haa… Whoa…”
As I reach out to each marble with trembling hands, the marbles fall into the palms of my hands as if they had been waiting for them.
Dull black marbles the size of large candies placed on both of my hands, which were too rough to be human.
Why? Why is your heart beating so fast? Why did you suddenly fall on your own?
What is this. Because of the unknown feeling, in the dungeon I entered even though I knew it was a trap, this flow that continued as if something had been decided?
“Whoa… Whoa…”
The trembling won’t stop.
Afraid. But what the hell are you afraid of?
It is expected. But what the hell are you expecting?
Something… A strange feeling of excitement, as if a box was left in front of my eyes, whether it was a bomb or a present.
No, that’s not it.
The biggest feeling in my body right now is…
…Guilty?
“Pugh…! Whoa…! Keugh…!”
His body trembled as he could not take his eyes off the marbles placed on his palm.
I, who was dominated by unknown emotions as I let out a rough breath from that trembling.
Just like that, I put the two marbles into my eyes.
