We arrived at the crack without a thing, and after rendezvous with Mr. Lasse, we were to descend into the basement as soon as possible.
It goes down a cliff roughly 30m from the crack to the basement with the ground, but it's not that fearful height for me right now.
"I'll go down first and make sure it's safe. ——— Hakro, Yulan"
Hakuro wraps my body in the wind so Yulan can build scaffolding in the air at any time.
If you cage the physical strengthening, you can normally jump from here to land, but you can't do that because the impact of the landing can also cause the ground to collapse.
Scaffolding must be identified as a top priority in site surveys.
I think of Mr. Sheena's teachings over and over again in my head.
"Mr. Kate, can I leave Nia to you because she's small?"
"No, Mother, treat me like a child..."
"I don't mind. I'll take care of it."
"So...... ooh!!"
Turn your back and give in to Nea, who steps on the group thickness.
Bumping Nia complaining about the bump, I jump off the cliff as I keep moving forward.
"Oh, Mr. Kite!?"
Listening to Mr. Lasse's surprise voice, he makes an attitude in the air with the power of a hawk.
At the same time as the velocity of the fall slows down, he asks Yulan's magic to build a scaffold and descends downstairs as he scaffolds there.
"Wow, the stability is amazing..."
Lightly landed underground without danger, I look up over my head and tell him I got off safely.
"Okay -" Sheena's voice returns, a little while later a longer rope drips from the overhead where the sky's light plugs in.
For now, I'm waiting with Nea on my back down, and something black comes down to me telling me a shadow made of rope from over my head.
It spreads wide as it reaches my feet, and Reefa, Sheena, and Lasse appear to rise from the shadows.
"" Shadow Road "… Arrival"
"It's a handy magic."
"No, this is easy..."
Don't be reminded that Reefa brought you here in the shadows, or that her magic is handy at times like this.
Well, that's what everyone got down here, and lighting a flame that would be a seedfire on a pre-handed, demon-shaped pine light.
"Schiff, give me the flame"
"Uhm."
Matsumitsu emits bright light due to the flame generated by the shiv.
The lighted places were carved with tiles, murals, etc. like ruins.
"This is the ruin…"
"There is a door just ahead of us. Let's head over there first."
Each advances through the ruins with a pine light.
It's a strange feeling what to say.
Such anxiety and exaltation, like stepping into an area you don't know.
"Mr. Kite."
"Yes?"
"Don't forget that feeling"
Sheena laughs at me for guessing how I feel.
"An exploration into the unknown. It's something that gives us a sense of exaltation that we can't describe in words, and at the same time it's a danger to our own lives."
"... Yes"
Carving her words into her chest, a large door appears in front of her.
Double-opened old doors.
The other site parts are shattered and damaged, but this door is the only one that is not missing, and on the contrary, it looks intact.
"Sheena, this door... is it?"
"Yes, it hasn't changed at all since the last time I saw it, which means you're still saying no one's inside."
If you stop by, the door is carved like a mural with a black lion with a white pattern on it.
Underneath it is depicted dozens of people who fall asleep, and Mr. Lasse, who sees it, starts to roar in an intriguing way as he touches his glasses.
"This is for sure. Death of man, divine beast that protects sleep. Its exhalation gives peace to what suffers, and its eyes identify man with a merciful heart... wow, this is a door that never opened for a very long time..."
God Beast Beor Hidun.
Here, there may be that divine beast.
A little bit to the fact, Ms. Sheena turns to Reefa and Nea.
"In the meantime, why don't you both stand in front of the door?"
"I wonder if it's that easy to open"
"Well, let's try it"
Subtle expressions Reefa and Nea move in front of the door.
Then more than a dozen seconds later, the door doesn't even respond.
"Doesn't it look good?"
"It won't open at all..."
They're both tilting their necks, but there's nothing we can do without the door open here.
Should this be fixed in one go?
When I'm thinking about the possibility of going home, Mr. Lasse speaks to both of us.
"Why don't you both work out some magic?"
"Magic?"
"If the power of the two men came from their presence in this ruin, they might as well use it when entering."
…… Let's give it a try, Reefa. "
"Yeah."
Reefa and Nia, who now turn to the door once, activate their own magic.
The magic of manipulating shadows and the magic of manipulating cold air.
The moment those two flood out of their bodies, the door slowly moves out that never showed any reaction before.
... you reacted to the power of the two of us?
"Is this fate too..."
Seeing the open door, Mr. Sheena sighs a little.
After this, trying to get Ms. Sheena to decide what to do, she put the luggage she had on the spot.
"As discussed in advance, I will wait for you here. If anything goes wrong or you get injured, come back soon."
"... yeah, okay"
"I'm waiting for your return here."
The place we're headed now is a ruin looming at the roots of Reefa and Nea's power.
More than not knowing what's going to happen there, Mr. Sheena's feelings for worrying about the two of you will be considerable.
"Mr. Lasse, I'd like these kids, too."
"... oh, I'll take care of it"
Mr. Lasse, nodding at her words, restarts his luggage so as to put his mind back in.
Next, Ms. Sheena looks at me.
"Mr. Kite, I've taught you everything you can teach in this short time. All we have to do is keep it alive."
"Thank you until today. I will definitely come back using my teachings."
For a short period of time, I intend to acquire mindset and minimal knowledge.
I still don't seem to be able to count on Mr. Lasse enough, but now let's deal with it calmly without growing with his knowledge of burning blades.
"After all, why don't you carry on my trail?"
"Huh? You can't even hope if you can have an adventure like Sheena or Lasse. Ha ha."
"" Ho... "
To Sheena's words, I give it back with a laugh.
There won't be much freedom right now, but there will be more to that kind of opportunity than being on the job of being asked to be an adventurer.
... Though I'm concerned that for some reason Reefa and Nia look like they said "Shit!?"
"Really? Really? You had fun when you left."
Something seems delightful.
Tilting her neck to the upbeat Mr. Sheena, Mr. Lasse, who was checking her luggage, gets up.
"Then let's go in. Let's do a minor investigation first, then go back to this location--base and gather the information. Let's not rush, let's keep it steady."
"Yes!"
With Mr. Lasse at the forefront, we set foot from the open door to the ruins.
Inside, sand and dust, etc. are seen, but they maintain an unusually beautiful appearance, and that's all they make me understand how historically valuable this place is anymore.
"O pure demon of gold..."
"--Huh!"
Something like someone's voice echoes in my head as I walk down a path illuminated by pine lights.
The voice of some gentle man.
I just shrugged about it and then I couldn't hear it, but still, someone did make me speak.
"Kite, what's going on?"
"Oh. But... this could really be here"
I look up at the back of the aisle surrounded by darkness as I reply to Schiff looking up at me worryingly.
With several columns lined up, there is even a high ceiling space.
I don't know how wide that is and continues ahead, but I'm pretty sure there's a god beast somewhere in this ruin that was lurking like Merriam.
