"Maribel was originally a kid who wasn't here, so my father told me to hide, and then nobody came home all the time."

I guess that means Maribel's fathers and others who came here two months ago also fronted three weeks ago and disappeared from all this...

Still, Maribel would be an amazing kid if she lived alone in a place like this for three weeks.

Seeing Maribel talking in a puffy face about her father not coming back, the emotion that I think is pathetic makes me feel like I'm about to spill tears.

Could I have been so tearful...

I wonder if my tear glands have loosened because I've cried a lot since Finn disappeared.

"Brother Al, what's wrong?

Maribel wept. She cared about me and peered in with bright red eyes like a gem.

"Yeah, it's nothing. So you've been waiting for your father to come home alone."

"Yeah, I thought I'd leave, but the door didn't open. I had eaten and drank rice and water left, but that was gone yesterday too... I thought I couldn't do it anymore. But your sisters are here to help."

"I mean, can I just say that Maribel, who was hiding, is in this facility now?

Maribel talks about two days of running out of water and food, like nothing else, but she didn't think it was weird to be mad to think she was in that position.

My childhood trauma is the reason why I'm so dark and so narrow. When I was in hiding, hiding in the little cave that was behind the orphanage, the entrance to the cave collapsed and I was trapped. That's traumatic.

Soon after that, Fern called me an adult and got nothing, but still when I get into a narrow, dark place as an adult, I get the pain of my heart being squashed cum.

The entrance door is open, and the light is on, so I'm calm now, this is how I talk to Maribel, but otherwise I'm likely to be disturbed.

In contrast to my weakness, Maribel was young, but she answered well.

"With a range of facilities running, this is the only entrance. If I can get you dinner, Maribel will show you around the facility."

"I can't believe I showed you... I haven't eaten in two days, so you don't have to."

When I immediately removed the portable food from my hip porch, I offered it to Maribel.

Maribel was starting to cheek a lot when she grabbed the portable food that was in my hand as if it were going to snap.

"To that. Marihel doesn't have to eat for two days."

"Maribel, I wonder if you'd like to talk while you eat. Look, I can pack that much, so drink the water."

"Nfu."

I watered Maribel, and gently rubbed her back.

I've been whispering in my ear that Mayla would poke me in the back like that.

"Al, I think we should explore this in detail to report to the Alliance. And if there's anybody but Maribel, we have to rescue them."

Maribel said everyone was gone, but it looks like she was doing repair work at this facility with a cool number of people, and Mayla has a point -

"I don't feel comfortable because it's dark..."

I was hesitant to go into my traumatic, dark, narrow place, behind it.

Maribel, who was watching me like that, stood up and walked towards the corner of the room.

"Brother Al, if you want the light, press here."

When Maribel pressed the outpouring that was on the wall, the room, which was dark, was suddenly dazzling and bright.

"Oh, the lights!? Can Maribel use magic?

"No. They say 'Denki'. My fathers were surprised, but they said it was a" scumbag "made by strange people."

"Denki"... "Kakaku"... isn't this magic?

But the room magically lit up all at once.

That's a strange trick.

I was impressed when I saw the brightened indoors.

That seemed to Meira, who was next door, to feel the same way.

"I've never seen a trick like this in an ancient ruin... I wonder if it's a different culture... if you look closely at the walls, it looks like metal."

Meira colored the brightened indoors in a variety of ways, squeaking bumps that it wasn't, uh, Ko.

Apparently, it's not the same institution of ancient civilization that Mayla was good at.

And for what purpose do you have a facility like this...

"Behind this door is a passageway, and it's made by digging around this big hole."

When Maribel, who said so, approached the door, the door opened on its own and the lights of what seemed to be the passage lit one after the other.

"I can't believe that an intercultural facility was built on the sidewall of Abyss Fall... Al, this may not be the scene of the great discovery of the century."

I was surprised that Mayla was shaking her feet with a clatter as she watched.

Honestly, I have no idea what happened to me and how I got that thing.

I'm guessing it's working on principles that I'm not quite sure about, just like magic.

Creepy and irresistible.

When I put my face in the aisle where the lights lit up, I was kind of curvy along Avisfall.

"Al, if this passage is going around the entire Avisfall, I think it's going to be pretty long. I can't believe we have such a massive facility."

"Mayla, look. This floor works on its own too!?

When I rode into a place like the black carpet that was laid in the middle of the aisle, there was some actuation noise. I thought the black carpet was starting to move on its own.

"Al, wait! Don't leave me. 'Cause I'll ride, too."

Maribel will show you around.

When Maribel and Meira also rode on the floor that moved out on their own, they decided to leave it to the floor to move and continue down the aisle.

The passage was long and the moving floor was slightly faster than the early walk, but the floor was proceeding on its own without having to walk on its own feet.

"This is also the power of Denki Kaku. We're only halfway through the repairs, so we're only halfway there. Where this room was repaired."

Eventually, when the floor that was moving stopped, the door that was on the wall in front of me, just like the earlier room, opened on its own and the light inside was on.

The room was dozens of times larger than the entrance room, and the facilities and appliances remained narrow and spacious.

For now, I don't see any signs of people...

You can't be alarmed.

Such equipment and apparatus. Meira was ecstatic as she sparkled her eyes and looked around every corner.

It's not an ancient ruin, but I'm guessing the equipment in front of her looks like a pile of treasure.

"Sounds like it's not the same as the ancient ruins. After all, it doesn't seem to be an institution built by my ancestors who were on this continent. Sounds like a lot of technology is used that I don't even know about. It's a completely different kind of civilization."

After some research, Mayla reddened her cheeks, and yes, she had reported it to me.

I knew you meant intercultural technology.

Meira said she's good at magical culture.

Sounds like a different system than the technology we have here.

While Mayla was investigating the equipment, I was searching the large interior with Maribel's guidance, but there was no one left.

"As Maribel said, there's no one there... After all, has everyone abandoned the repairs here and left?

Maribel was right to tell you that she suddenly disappeared three weeks ago.

I wonder if that means he got away with it while he was working on it.

"Then it will coincide with when Abyss Walker was discovered."

I knew you'd think so......

When I heard Mayla's words, I had the same thoughts.

I hear that the Abyss Walker found on the ground was crusaded by the Knights, more or less three weeks ago.

"Should we see that the people who were here had some sort of relationship with Abyss Walker? What does Al think?

"But that means the lord of Inverhanes who gave instructions to carry the package here could have something to do with it, right? So you're saying there's a gyle one involved?

I got a question from Mayla, but I also returned it with a question because I couldn't sort it out properly in my head.

If Gil is directing this matter directly, what exactly did he aim to build such a facility on such a perimeter?

To restrain the Yuguhanotes border uncle, who they say is unfriendly?

I think it's too much for that.

"I don't know. Maribel's father just said he was a minister, and he couldn't get rid of the possibility that he was cheating on the name of the Kingsguard Knights Commander."

It's like Gyre's men are making it on their own. It's too big.

With all this facility, there will be a fair amount of money and resources.

I don't think it's the kind of facility you can build with a single subordinate.

But I don't think that color bogeyman, the Knights of Kingsguard, will pay for this stuff.

The figure of Gyre, who lived in luxury and obscurity to show that he was a nobleman's bonbong in the Wang capital, and the image of the person who created this institution did not connect well in me.

"But I think you should report this to the Adventurer Guild soon. It will take manpower and time to explore this facility. I just can't do it with my own hands."

Meira, who had strained herself to explore, also seemed willing to report the problem to the Adventurer's Guild, just as she had been found to be a huge institution of different cultures.

I also felt something terrible was going to happen if I left this, so I decided to report it to the Adventurer Guild for now.

"Okay. Maribel, why don't you come with me because we'll protect you for the time being? I don't know where he is, but I'm going to find him with me."

We decided to return to the campsite site to protect the only remaining Maribel and to report the facility to the Adventurer's Guild.

"My father told me to wait here, but I'm out of rice and water, and I've decided to keep up with your brother Al and your sisters, Mayla. In the meantime, if Dad ever comes back, you can write it down."

Maribel, who had agreed to leave this facility, had finished writing a note to her father in beautiful writing by running a brush when she took a piece of paper that was nearby.

"Can Maribel write?

"I'm studying hard. Look. My father tells me there's no harm in studying. I also learned to sneak a peek at how to use the facilities here. It's amazing."

Maribel was stretching her chest as she proudly showed me her written notes.

With courage, action and wit, Maribel in front of her was a child so firm that she didn't think she was a normal child.

"So that wit saved Maribel's life. Well, I'll hold him."

"It's going to come back. Let's do this today."

Back to the entrance, I tied each other with ropes so I wouldn't hold Maribel, and I turned the handle on the winder I borrowed from Meira and climbed up the wall.

Later, when we returned to the camp site, the city of Yuguhanotes became noisy.

Soon a search for the facility, discovered by Lloyd himself, a lord as well as the Knights, was scheduled to take place, and it was decided that we would also participate in the search.
