Chapter 184 – #2-17 Goblin Magical Girl Escape Plan (2)
Whatever it is, you have to get out of this room.
Yura looked at the only entrance to the solitary cell where she was confined. She was locked with a mechanical lock.
It is a challenge from the beginning. Can she break it with her own power?
‘She’s in good shape, but her magic power is less than half of the original… She’s recovering.’
She wanted to save as much magic as possible, but she wasn’t sure if she would be able to break it even if she poured all her magic into it.
She made a loud noise there, and someone might notice the situation and raise the alert level. If that happened, I wouldn’t even dream of escaping.
As quietly as possible, even if they are caught someday, I want them to be caught as later as possible.
Thinking what to do, I looked at her room again.
There are vents in the ceiling, but apart from taking them off, the question is whether you can escape through them. There seems to be a lot of dust.
She left it as a last resort and resumed her search.
And what could be the key to hope, I was able to find right away.
“Card key?”
No matter how you look at it, it’s a card key used in places like hotels.
The pure white card key had strange letters engraved on the front. It was the language of [Mekrak] That was installed before.
Feeling the strange flow of magical power, I gently touched it, but suddenly a new letter and a picture of Yura’s face appeared in the blank space under the letter. This time in english
What is this… Name… Body size… Research level… Title… And…
‘Authority level?’
It is a vaguely catchy name. The grade is A. The problem is that I don’t know if this is high or low.
A is the lowest grade, one, two, three, four… Maybe it goes up like this, maybe A is the highest grade.
Please be the latter Considering that her research grade is S+, her wish is not without possibility.
Anyway.
When I brought the card key in my hand to the device hanging next to the doorway, the heavy door that was blocking me opened without a sound. It seems that this kind of entry and exit is not a problem.
But how can the door move so smoothly? Once again, I was amazed at the technical skills of [Mekrak]. But isn’t this a huge waste of electricity?
‘Where is this place…?’
The moment I stepped out into the hallway, I felt it. This is not the lab near the university where she was captured. It must have been moved to another facility somewhere while he was unconscious.
As I vaguely remember, the reason for having a laboratory near the university was to supplement young talent nearby whenever needed… It is not strange that there is a larger facility to conduct proper research.
Yura cautiously walked down the hallway.
The hallway wasn’t as dark as I thought, but I couldn’t say it was bright either.
It was a fairly tall and wide hallway, but it was because blue light leaked in from thin windows that were sparsely lined up in high places that I couldn’t reach at my height.
It’s not a bright light, it’s the kind of light you often see in the early morning. She jumped up and down to check, but outside the window was full of thick fog, and she couldn’t see anything beyond.
‘Is that outside in the first place?’
I have no idea either.
If you wanted to go outside, you had the option of breaking the window and leaving, but the fog in the blue light is very unpleasant.
After thinking about it, Yura decided to continue down the hallway. It’s not good to act hastily in a situation where you don’t know anything. The reason I was caught here in the first place was because I jumped in fearlessly without any prior information. I think she has become a bit more mature.
“Ah… I have a map.”
As I continued down the corridor, a small machine was installed in an alley that turned in a T shape, and a holographic map floated above it.
“Uuuuu”
After looking at the map, Yura groaned.
As she said, the map had various features intertwined like a spider’s web, and although I didn’t know what the comparative scale was, it was clearly visible that it was ‘wide’. As evidence of that, a red dot appeared at the location where this map was located, as if to indicate that it was here.
I’ve walked this hallway for quite some time, but it’s only about two finger joints long on this huge map.
It’s tight. It’s a really filthy wide shape.
She sighs, but it’s good to know her geography.
Each room or hallway was recorded with unknown codes and symbols, so I couldn’t tell what they were doing (perhaps it was a countermeasure against outsiders), but at least I could confirm where the elevator and stairs were at their final destination.
Let’s make this our target…!
Things were going smoothly, and I wanted to hum her song.
While Yura was putting the contents of her Hee-Hee Paradise Map into her head, the magical girl’s keen senses picked up the sound of footsteps.
‘Someone is coming…!’
Yura, wary of footsteps that seemed to be coming this way, hid behind a pillar near her.
Where are you going? If she ever comes this way, she has no choice but to defeat it without a rumor.
Hearing her footsteps, it seems like there are two of them…
『…How about the newly captured magical girl…』
『…The product she made this time…』
Along with a serious voice, the sound of words spoken in Mekraq was heard.
He must be a monster.
It’s a gigantic facility even at first glance, and I don’t think research is something that the old man can do alone. There is nothing strange about having monsters who are her subordinates and assistants.
‘By the way, the newly captured magical girl?’
But. The more samples you study, the better.
Anyway, are the magical girls who were captured in this facility?
‘Maybe we can join forces.’
Like mind control by nanomachines, you don’t know what the actual situation is, and rather the burden may increase… You have to be careful, but if it goes well, it will lead to a big increase in power.
Be careful, but let’s keep it in her head. Memo note.
As I waited while hiding behind a pillar, two monsters in white robes appeared side by side. Fortunately, it seems that Yura is not heading towards the hidden hallway, but towards the hallway opposite the T-shaped hallway.
Proceeding through the dark hallway where sparse blue light came in, confirming the two people walking away from each other, Yura let out a sigh of relief, but――
‘What…’
For some reason, feeling strange, I glanced at the white robe that was moving away.
Something, something bothers me.
I just felt like I shouldn’t let go.
When I checked the contents of the map I had entered in my head, I could reach my destination in the direction the two monsters were heading. Corridors on all floors are entangled like a spider’s web anyway, so it’s the same whether you go here or there.
‘Looking at what I said about magical girls, maybe they’ll be where they go…!’
Speaking from a realistic point of view, the magical girls you find aren’t necessarily allies.
But from the point of view of gathering information for escape.
In any case, gathering more information is definitely helpful.
Decision.
‘Let’s follow.’
“【Hide tightly, show your hair――hide your body, goblin’s armor】.”
After a while.
Yura’s body disappeared as if it melted into empty space.
Then, in an empty place where no one seemed to be there, the muffled footsteps rang out and chased the monsters ahead.
…And the camera cleverly installed all of that scene was capturing it all, but Yura didn’t notice it.
* * *
“Doctor. We have sent a summary of the current observation results and simulation contents of the research subject ■. Please confirm.”
“Yes, I am watching it now.”
Dr. Noguui was sipping a drink from a cup and monitoring the situation through cameras installed throughout the facility.
The fact that Yura escaped from her room, the fact that he hid her body after hearing the footsteps of the monsters, and even the fact that he hid her body with magic to chase after her.
Also, those rolling eyes are checking not only the screen of the surveillance video, but also all the figures and graphs, such as the floating instrument panel, as if surrounding him with a hologram display.
‘Hmm. The numbers are strange.’
Thinking so with calm eyes, I sip a sweet drink.
“As expected, being a magical girl is hard to deal with.”
“Yeah?”
“Still, the numbers haven’t stabilized.”
“…That’s right. As you can see, the variable seems to be acting strangely. It is expected to have a significant impact on the experiment.”
A young monster with an assistant-like atmosphere next to him spoke cautiously.
“What would you like to do?”
“…For now, let’s watch. Instead, figure out the location of the missing magical girl. Maybe it’s because it hides itself with magic, but it doesn’t even get detected by the heat sensor.”
“Yes, I understand. Let’s try using a sensor that detects the magical girl’s magical energy.”
The doctor, who left the rest of the work to his assistant, looked at the screen again, smiled, and took out a new snack from a corner of the room. …Sugar intake is important. Cancer.
* * *
When I secretly followed the monsters in white, what appeared was a huge laboratory-like space.
I couldn’t see inside, so one of the monsters tried to light the fire.
“Hey! No way! What will you do if “That bastard” Sees it!”
“…Ah, what is it? Have you released it yet?”
“It is to obtain experimental data. We should only use this light, which they do not react to.”
“It’s annoying.”
One is chubby, the other is skinny like chopsticks.
When the skinny monster scolded him, the fat monster let out a sigh as if it was annoying.
”That bastard’…?’
What the hell are you talking about?
Anyway, even though it is a research facility where people go, I found out why they didn’t bother to turn on the lights. I wondered if it was simply because it was night and everyone was asleep… I couldn’t understand why the monsters didn’t turn on the lights even though they were walking around like that.
Let’s refer to it Lighting a fire seems dangerous.
“Okay, we need to raise the product rating within today.”
“Hmm… It’s difficult to reproduce the texture with materials on Earth.”
“What can I do? Earth’s magic cannot be preserved for long with the materials we use.”
When the monsters manipulated a few touch panels, the cabinets in the corner of the room clicked! Chalkang! It started to open with a noise.
What I wrestled with and pulled out of it was――
‘Me?!’
Yura almost screamed involuntarily. She was astounded as much as she was.
What the chubby monster pulled out from a cabinet-like place was Yura, wrapped in a thin cloth.
He has the same face and body shape as his own.
As soon as the fabric peeled off, her immaculate skin and attractive naked body, no different from Yura’s, were revealed. The pupils of her eyes, which lost their light and opened in a daze, were the same color as her own.
Watching the body limp and limp, it was as if he had already died and that he was simply out of his soul… I even felt that way.
“Hey, this doll is really the best. The face is smooth, I like the chest, and above all, these horns are the best. You’re an S-level research subject, aren’t you?”
“Yes. Other magical girls can take turns working on them if they’re properly researched, but she’s a piece of cake. I heard that the magic level is different from other women.”
“Kuh… It’s a pity that you can’t taste the real thing. No, in order to make this doll into a finished product, shouldn’t you experience it in real life at least once? How can you make a fake look real when you don’t know the texture of the real thing!”
“Doctor will take care of it. Soak it sooner than that.”
In the arms of the skinny monster who spoke bluntly, another naked woman was cradled. She was a well-proportioned woman with attractive blue hair.
‘A doll…Fake?’
After hearing the story, it seems like that. Seeing that they are also called dolls, the word doll is just right.
The two of them were taken out, and the dolls that no matter how you look at them could only be seen as people――the stones were dropped into a bathtub filled with a strange liquid in the corner of the laboratory.
