I’m an Adventurer! ~Musou Skill is Plane Magic~
Episode 236: Magicians Deceive People to Breathe
"Sorry to bother you...."
I whispered no before sending the camera in.Nobody's here yet. I've already checked for signs, and I don't think I can hear you even if you're nearly a kilometer away.
Nevertheless, it does not mean that there are no signs.There are strange signs that are different from living things.Probably a magic tool.Because it is dangerous if it is a security trap, we only let the camera in just in case.
First move the camera to the location of the indication.Is this... a hawk?Stone statue, huh? It is installed in pairs facing each other in front of the back door.The room is in the northeast corner, so normally it's a kitchen or toilet.But for that, it's a heavy door.It even comes with a padlock with an iron door.It's unlocked now.
This is an alarm magic tool.It is often placed around noble mansions.Passing through the stone statues, the alarm of the jam sounds. "
"Ah, that was it!I was wondering why they found out I left the dorm!"Why are there weird statues everywhere?That's what I thought!I think the school should trust more students!You can't buy or eat!
There's a supplement for Christella.I see, an alarm.The aristocratic mansion is huge, so without such a device, we'll need a lot of guards.Do I have to have all these magic tools when I set up a mansion in King's Landing?If I buy a mansion, I'll have to order it from Toneriko.
I think Jasmine's sister deserves it.It's a mistake to be angry.The struggle of the dormitory superintendent is borne out.
Between them, that is, you don't have to go through the door, so you let the camera get through the wall and into the back.If it's not a dark magic spot, the camera is clear.The alarm is out of order.It's a shame.
It was dark when I went through the wall.I can't see anything. A dot light source slightly above the camera illuminated the surroundings brightly.
That was the warehouse.The whole is thick stone and about ten tatami mats in size.Several wooden boxes are piled up, and old swords and spears are hung on the wall.The entrance is just the door and there is no window.It should be dark.
I don't know what the contents of the box are, but it's not unnatural to have a sword or spear.It's only natural that residents of this neighborhood, close to the mountain, have weapons for self-defense because they say monsters occasionally cross the mountain.
Nevertheless, it is unnatural to store normal objects strictly until a magical instrument is installed.There is no point in not being in a place where I can pick it up immediately.I knew there was something in this room.
No, if you just think about things, you can take a lot of damage when you're unexpected.We have to go carefully here.
With the project that passed the planning meeting without a doubt, the character model that I had made in advance became a bot with all the design modifications.Even though I was able to root it out... it's all the boss's fault!That's what you said!If there's no alternative, don't deny it!Don't play games!!
Oops, my abominable memories have been dug up.It's too late.Let's push the past beyond forgetfulness.
So I will search the other rooms first.
It feels like a very ordinary farmhouse.Agricultural tools, pots, and utensils are also kept there.Does the family consist of an elderly couple and their son (or daughter)?It seems that there are no small children.There is nothing particularly suspicious about what I saw.
I knew that warehouse was suspicious.Only there is different construction.Probably a hidden passage.They must have left the house from there.Focus on the search.
That's funny. There's nothing there.
I checked under the stacked box, behind the sword, behind the spear, and even inside the box, but I couldn't find anything.There was dried meat and potatoes in the box.Is it preserved?
I used a point light source (emitter) to disperse very small particles, but I found nothing suspicious on the wall or underground.
If there were any gaps or cavities, the particles would have gone in and found them, but they were only immersed in the gaps of the piled stones.It's really just a warehouse.
No, it can't be.You must have missed something.But what?
"You're going to have to go and check this out directly?
"Seriously? Isn't that dangerous?
"I have to do something about that alarm magic device. I can't sneak in."
"... destroy"
"That magic tool will send the biggest alarm as soon as it breaks.Otherwise, it's useless. "
"Oh, my God, this is stuck."
Absolutely.
I checked all the places I could look into.Of course, it's a remote operation over the camera, so it's not a detailed investigation.There may be some overlooks.But going directly to investigate is the last resort.
No matter how careful you sneak in, there will be traces.These guys are careful enough to put away the magic tools for the alarm.But if you have any doubts, you'll alert me.
Wait, wait, wait.
In Bob's investigation, there was nothing particularly suspicious except that the man from the shop did not come in and out.That way, there would have been just enough people in and out of this house for the dishes, except for the man in the shop.Probably the four members of the family, the members of the committee.Where did they go?
If you were an ordinary farmer, you would have walked into farming and shopping.But I haven't heard such a report today.I mean, everybody should be in the house.And yet there is no one in this house now.Where did they disappear?
Did you use magic like optical camouflage that covered the island of the Sea of Lute?Impossible, but that leaves a subtle discomfort around the unfolded area.I don't suppose the good scolders won't notice...That was pretty clever.If that's the case, it's up to you.
But there's only one clue.All we have to do is stick around until we get results.I don't want to take too long.
As Bob and the others report, if there's really nothing suspicious, they'll be back soon.You're not going out, but you're coming home.
I thought, "Hold on," but actually, I think you're right to wait here.If we can see where they're coming back, we might be able to figure out a way to disappear.
◇
"Eh!?"
I must have waited about an hour, but suddenly there were strong signs in the house.Is this magic? The place is still that warehouse... not the hallway in front of it!?
Moving the camera in a hurry in front of the warehouse, the door lights up in rainbow color.And with a slight vibration, the door opened, and the elderly men and women and young men emerged from it.Beyond the door, rainbow-coloured light is swirling and I can't see.
Unfortunately, the movement of the Consolidation Gate is disgusting and uncomfortable.
I see. I feel like I'm getting tough when I get older.
Shall we just go with Erica next time?
I see. I've already taken over, and I'll leave it to you now.Let's just think about protecting this house.
Right, you.
Where did these guys come from?Turn the camera to the warehouse side and check from the back.
It's closed!? Turn the camera around the hallway again... it's open!? Double doors... no, it's not thick enough.What do you mean!?
"Could this be a magical instrument of transfer?
"No way! I don't even have a royal family!
"But did someone come out with the door open?
"You said the Consolidated Gate.Why, the smell of mess is starting to smell like trouble.You're a worse organization than I thought you'd be meeting the committee?
It wasn't a hidden passage, it wasn't "where was the door?"
Even if the alarm device wasn't dummy... it probably meant misleading.If it's in front of the door, I think there's something in the back of that door.I don't think the door itself is the real thing.
In fact, I didn't feel anything from that door until just before it started working.Mechanically, it's a spec that sends magic from the outside just before it works.Well done. I was totally fooled.
I agree with Kikka's concern.Transformative magic equipment not even held by the royal family, and members that extend to merchants and farmers.
Apparently, this one can't be done with a rope.
