Ihoujin, Dungeon ni Moguru

<Chapter 3: To the city of death and ice> [01]

[01]

[149th day]

I had a dream.

I had a red dream.

The scene is not reflected. However, intense emotions are burned into the brain.

Anger, grudge, sadness, fear. A storm-like torrent that mixes it.

I couldn't stand it.

I looked away.

No, I crushed it.

He crushed his eyes.

Oh yeah, the oozing red color is my ――――――

"Soya!"

She is agitated and awakened.

"Hmm?"

It is dark even though I woke up. You can see a little light, but you cannot see it because the view is blurred.

Rub your eyes. A slimy liquid clings to your finger like oil.

"Who is this blood?"

"It's Sawyer. Doesn't it hurt anywhere?"

Maria in front of me was gradually visible.

"I was bleeding from my eyes. I was worried."

"Sorry, sorry."

Apparently, I was crying while dreaming.

Once again, I can never remember the contents of my dreams. I remember it was a bad dream.

Receive a water bottle from Maria and wash her eyes. The cloudy field of view is clear, reflecting the dim darkness and the light of the burning wood. On the contrary, it is scary that there is no pain.

[Soya member. Please show me the affected area.

"ask"

Have the eyes look at the snow breeze.

"Scan. Please look directly at this point. "

The arm of the mini pot takes out the note paper with the black dot.

I stared as I was told.

"During scanning ... no trauma. No abnormal pupil reaction. Bleeding cause ……… Unknown. No abnormalities were found in eye function. Is the stress of the abnormal environment a factor? "

"Maybe"

No wonder what happens when you sleep in the grave.

"Another concubine can be the stick of Sawyer for a lifetime."

"Don't be afraid. It's okay."

I can't play it as a joke or blindness.

"Noisy until you wake up, you guys"

I was amazed like Barful.

"No, probably because you called Mary."

This is an unforgettable grudge point.

Well, it is last night's continuation.

"Okay, return to Maria."

"turn down!"

Argued while preparing for the morning.

Not at all.

"If you want to leave such a concubine, you can do it yourself.

"Kunotsu"

A stubborn child.

Don't even know your parents.

"It's about what Sawyer is all about. It's the one who keeps Lana and Eyre alone and worried about the truth!"

"I was silent to not worry!"

"I'm sorry for my concubine!"

We cooked breakfast while quarreling.

I feel like I was losing as a whole, but it's because of it.

Today's breakfast is bean curry.

Former sea curb regate canned bean curry powder, ketchup and chopped dried meat. Put the crushed dry bread. Just one piece of chocolate for a secret taste.

Heat it with a firewood and you're done.

Like spam, there are also a lot of canned beans, so if you dispose of it and make it properly, it was ok.

"Soya. If you don't break the beans, you won't eat the concubine?"

"Yes yes princess"

At first, after crushing the beans and feeding them, I could not eat them without crushing them.

Since it is hot, hold a can with gloves, and crush the beans of Maria with the back of a spoon.

Talk to a beasthead man while working.

"Because Barful doesn't really eat?"

"I have this"

He takes out the sake bottle.

He glanced at his luggage and found a lot of the same thing.

"When I saw my luggage, I was there. I guess the Tutu guy was hiding it."

No, it's not the amount of sneaking.

Move the spoon for about 5 minutes and crush the beans. By the way, the temperature of the cat tongue Maria was just right.

"Love"

"Um, I'll eat it."

In front of the,

"I have you"

And joined hands.

Eat bean curry.

"I'm losing to Lansir's Potov ... but this is it ... this is it!"

Maria eats with satisfaction.

Every one is a bite.

"Hmm"

The light taste of beans is not bothersome thanks to the curry powder. The texture of the dried meat and dried bread that comes in sometimes is good. If you are strong, I want to put potatoes and carrots. Pig peach and bird peach. You can put onions fried in candy color.

Oh no.

If you add extra effort, the outline of outdoor cooking is lost. This is ordinary curry.

"Umauma"

And Maria.

"OK"

And me.

Well, it's strange. The beans cans around the firewood are really delicious. Probably delicious for situational reasons.

Well, this is a grave.

I don't feel like breakfast because of the darkness, but after breakfast I have a break.

"Return home, Maria."

"I ya da"

Have a round-the-wall discussion.

"Do you want to go now?"

Barful took up his luggage and stood up.

"Wait a minute. I'm still."

I'm ready to pack my luggage.

"The concubine will follow you whatever you like.

Again, hold your head.

This guy transfers and escapes, even if he keeps going. I have to persuade me to change my intentions, but I hate my instinct.

"... Maria, promise me. If you feel danger, run away. Even if I abandon me and Barful."

"I understood"

A proper reply.

"It's important. I swear."

"... I swear. I'll run away if it's in danger .........."

He gave me a serious look and turned him seriously.

I am anxious.

I can't feel safe at all.

"Yukikaze asks Maria. Tell her to relocate if she senses danger."

"I understand."

Hang the mini pot on Maria's waist.

"Maria, do you know if Yukikaze gives the instructions?"

"I know."

Answer that seems to be troublesome.

Still something hand.

"I'm done. I will ring the Great Bell Tower."

Barful acted without waiting for me.

An oversized sword hits a large bell held by a dragon. Loud sound like a lightning strike.

"T"

Maria and I closed both ears too much.

Starting with the vibration of the large bell, the bells around it also start to ring all at once. The sound spread like a wave, trembling the bells of all levels.

No, the sound of the sound shakes the layer itself.

I can't stand the vibration and the loud sound like an earthquake. I can't even open my eyes. The semicircular canal is paralyzed and nauseous. My brain shakes and my consciousness flickers.

I can't keep my consciousness.

Fall into deeper darkness than to sleep.

Maria's small scream was heard in the corner of the bell.

And when you regain consciousness,

"Becomes"

She was wrapped in cold pain.

A white wind is sounding like the reverberation of a bell.

Outdoors.

It is also during the blizzard.

Great bell tower.

After all, is it an effect similar to a portal?

The surrounding area is a thick snowy field. Snow cover close to knees. Between the winds, I saw the mountains surrounding the land. Difficulty in breathing is not solely due to cold. Oxygen is thin. The altitude is different from the usual living area.

"Maria?!"

"Here it is"

"Here it is"

Maria and Yukikaze were right behind.

"Oh, you've arrived safely."

Bar full as well.

"It's dangerous here. You can go a bit, but can you go?"

"Yes, well."

My head is still jerky but if I walk.

"Is Maria OK?"

"It's OK. Sawyer, I'm a little overwhelmed. Midwinter on the left continent is not like this."

She breasts openly.

"Snow breeze, what's wrong with the function?"

"Currently, minus 7 degrees Celsius. Power consumption increased by 13%. Due to the snowstorm, the search function has been reduced to 5% of normal

"Tasteless"

Now, if an enemy attacks you, you will be surprised.

"let's go"

Barful goes on without any problem. Once, they stomped on the snow and made our way.

Let Maria go first and follow.

But it's cold.

It hurts cold.

In addition, this furious wind. There is no loss of physical strength.

"Let's lend Soya a muffler? Is this warm?"

"Okay. My cape is the same material."

Maria looks back on me who is late and worries.

I'm sorry.

He wears winter clothes and his cloak of dragon blood is feverish. Cold and wind that can't keep up. Later, simply my cold-resistant function?

No, maybe Maria is just too cold. Does Barful look like a creature that freezes to death?

"here"

I walked for about 5 minutes. I feel like I was frozen for one hour.

The city spreads in front of you.

"This is Neomia. It's the first time a living person has come alive for 500 years."

The city of death and ice was located on a steep cliff.

The town is white-painted and frozen. Wonderingly, is the building left because it freezes and hardens? There are no walls like Lemuria or Lothian in this city. That's true. The surroundings of the city are cliffs. Where it fell, the darkness of the deep sea was wide open and wide.

Characteristic is the huge castle at the back of the city.

Black even when frozen. It's like a castle where a witch with a bad picture book lives.

"But there is one problem"

Barfur points at the road with his sword.

A narrow straight road following Neomia. Less than 6 meters wide. It is thin enough to worry about not collapsing in this snowstorm. Simple handrails are provided, but beyond that you will be upside down under the cliff.

The other way to go to Neomia is ... Is it impossible to fly in the sky?

"Look good"

A flash of a sword like Barful.

A sword scratches an invisible wall.

"It's the barrier of Prince Shirane. I can't destroy it with my arm."

Before entering the alley, there were invisible walls.

Touch and look, but not cold. Hard, soft, vague feel. I tried to cut it with an agathion, but only stroked the wall.

"But the vampire crossed this and came to Lothian, didn't he?"

"Yes, maybe somewhere in the barrier is broken. But we can't be sure.

Barful approaches Mary.

"It's Jochan's turn"

"Oh, I see."

Maria understands and takes Barful's hand.

It's a child-like part of this guy, and I'm glad to receive it if I can rely on others. I'm glad I have the opportunity to show off my strength. I also love being praised.

"Hmm"

But what? What is this bad premonition?

According to Barfle, the vampires are appearing in Lothian using the Great Bell Tower. But there was nothing like a bell where we got off.

No, it could be inside Neomia ...?

wait.

Strange.

How did Barful intend to cross this barrier in the first place?

"Wait for Maria!"

I was late for a moment.

The two have transferred and are on the other side of the barrier.

"Maria returns soon ---"

It was also slow.

Burful pinches Maria's neck with her finger. That alone took her consciousness.

My extended hand is blocked by a transparent wall.

"That's what you mean!"

With Mary on her shoulder, Burfhur answered without any savagery.

"I've been searching all the time. A way to get rid of this annoying barrier. It couldn't be so easy to jump over ... Hmm, what? I think it was just 500 years long. "

This guy, me from the beginning to use Maria.

"Sayya, don't worry. Vampires must kill me. You just brought them in with raw bait. You can play a good part."

"Wait! Bar full! Hey!"

The bar full proceeds ignoring me.

I do not mind any screams. But he turns around a little.

"Oh, yes. Watch out. The end guard is coming soon."

"what?"

The sound of moving thick air behind.

After the impact, the view reverses. The bone of the left foot rings.

"Gatsu"

The body floats in the air.

A white beast was biting on my feet and lifting.

A big white wolf.

He is 2 meters tall. The length is 6 meters after putting the tail.

A size that easily surpasses tigers and lions.

"you're kidding"

It appears as a flock in a snowstorm.

There are at least 30.

And this is different.

This white wolf is not a talkable beast like the old man or Lothian cat. Eyes without emotion like a crocodile tell the story.

This is a beast that does one thing like a machine.

Does not have emotional fluctuations.

And now, these beasts spread their fangs all at once, thinking only about killing me.
