[182nd day]

I saw the stars.

I saw a star at the bottom of the dungeon.

Blinking twinkles in a vast, invisible, enormous cavity.

The Milky Way is on the ceiling far away. Surrounded by darkness of unclearness.

Spires, forty-five levels.

Another name is the hierarchy of stars.

It's a name like a date spot, but it's actually a superb view, but it's a dungeon, so it's full of danger.

Our party is exploring the surroundings around the hierarchical portal.

Anyway, this hierarchy is dark.

Nothing really exists.

The light doesn't spread beyond a certain distance like a special space that absorbs light.

"Well, nothing."

"Nothing."

Hit the sister and search carefully. Neither the view nor the sensation arrives. It's a place that would go crazy if you were alone. Fortunately, the platform is not bad.

If there is a pit in such a place, it will fall easily.

"Hey, Sawyer. The rope has reached its limit."

"Already?"

"I'm done."

The clerk, Shuna, showed me the rope that was running low.

Party paused.

Near the portal at the starting point, the rope is tied by driving a stake. I drive a new pile of backpack into the ground and tie the rope received from Schna to it.

"Next?"

"I am"

The father ties the rope he carried to the stake, and the party resumes movement.

"Umm, that's something."

"Are you?"

Ms. Shuna and Air mutter.

Well, I know what I want to say.

It's been like this since I reached this star level. It is more than expected for the level of evidence for senior adventurers.

"What are they two?"

Lana is misleading. She is a type that can do endless tasks even in simple tasks. This kind of complaint is out of understanding.

"My sister is sober."

"What? Recently, I have become more flashy with more skin exposure than before."

"No, no. Adventures are sober. Horns, hordes of white bears, there were lots of flashy and dangerous adventures, right? It's a class of senior adventurers, so if you think about it, You just have to move on a rope with no enemies. "

My father coughs.

"Princess Eyre. You seem to have misunderstood, but adventures are sober in nature. The result of their accumulation is only talked about in glitz. For some reason, this party is so flashy and dangerous. Gana. Who's to blame? "

It's my fault.

"Speaking of which, what did you do when your father was adventures alone?"

I'm not worried about Shuna's useless mouth this time, so I'm also concerned.

"I'm the ultimate in plainness. I spent five years exploring the wall of the mad hierarchy, and in the next five years I finished exploring the floor, so I was holding the ladder and exploring the ceiling. It took me.

It's been eight or nine years since I went back to the next level and checked the floor. I couldn't find anything when I searched or searched, and I couldn't find any way to open or destroy the only suspicious wall. He was abandoned and was banned from approaching dungeons for about two years after slaughtering monsters in the hierarchy.

Looking at this as a good opportunity, I tried to get information by fishing Hohens and Jumikura's banned books, but it ended up in vain. After rotting for about four years, I tried the dungeon again. Of course, from the point of examining the wall. How plain? "

"………………Oh, yes"

Schna and Ayr were pulling out. Yes, this person was like this.

It's plain or crazy.

The party walks silently. I can not rely on the light of Cantera. The darkness felt more intense as she spoke less.

Where

"What is that light?"

"here we go? What is it? Various types of snow breeze sensors are out of observation. "

I speak whispering in the snow breeze.

Light is the stars on the ceiling.

It is not an artificial light like a planetarium. Perhaps it's not a monster flash? The stars are not all enemies.

"Next time, we will bring a flying observation drone."

"This strange space. If you are bad, you will lose control?"

"The possibility is high"

Drone parts can be used for mini pots. It is a valuable thing that cannot be replaced in another world. I don't want to waste it,

"Let's consider it."

"Raja"

I'm not going to wander around this place endlessly. But I want to go where I can go carefully. It is difficult to judge.

"Oh, brother."

"What happened?"

"You were talking about snow and snow breeze right now?"

"Yes"

A strange question from my sister.

"Is it because of me?-Like when the snow breeze was talking, the upper star was blinking at the same time.

No way.

"Amenbo, Akaina, Aiueo. The seaside and the shrimp are good. Kakikinoki, Kukikinoki, Kakikukeko. Kitsuki, Kotsuki, Kakeyaki. Put aside, put on soup, sississeo. That seaweed, tomorrow. It's quick, rappa, tachitetsu. "

I was looking at the ceiling while the snow breeze was singing the Japanese syllabary,

"Huh? I'm crazy. Mistakes for me?"

The stars did not change.

It's not 30 minutes of reasoning. Isn't the hint falling quickly and convenient?

"I'm done."

My father's rope has run out. Next is Liz.

I tied the rope silently and resumed moving.

When the rope runs out, hit the stake, tie and move. That's it.

And

"Ah"

Lastly, my search is over and today's search is over. I have no choice but to return.

If there is no thread to follow, what is waiting is death losing in the darkness.

There are no battles with monsters, and no material to sell. But there was one harvest. It is a valuable fact that it is useless to search in the dark clouds.

Do you use a drone, as the snow breeze says? Or do you want to see it flashy with the magic of Lana?

For now, it's time to return.

"Let's go home. Roll call"

"Oh"

Father's voice.

"Well"

Shuna's voice.

"Yes"

Air voice.

"Yes"

Lana's voice.

“……………”

Liz replies silently.

"here"

Someone's voice.

"That?"

Who? Pull out the cane blade and turn to your voice. Nobody is here.

"What did you do?"

"No, my voice"

"voice?"

Lana looks around, but looks strange.

"Nothing to me. Air, did you hear anything?"

"Nothing. But if you're looking for a close distance, your older brother is better. Really ..."

My sister also looks around. But nothing has been found.

"Dad, can't you hear anything?"

"I can tell you the truth. Well, but hey, you're not too surprised."

What's new?

"I've been hearing the voice of a friend who has just died.

Cold air flows during the party.

Please report such an occult phenomenon early.

"Oh, Sawyer. I heard the voice of my old dog now."

"Oh, my brother. I'm the voice of my dead mother now."

"What are you guys, calm down. I can hear the whisper of my dead mother, but I'm ignoring it as a hallucination."

"Okay, let's all calm down."

Group panic.

"brother"

"What is air?"

"Eh, what?"

I turn around thinking I was called. Darkness spread beyond the sight, and the voice of the real sister came from behind.

"Yeah, am I too tired?"

It seems mentally strange in this dark.

Couscous and laughter.

Liz was smiling with a strangely glossy face. ............ Scared!

"I will line up as I arrange, meeting"

At such times, the leader must be firm.

I'm at the forefront, my shoulder is grabbed by Shuna behind me, Air grabs his shoulder, followed by Lana, Liz, and finally my dad.

To make sure, make sure that everyone is present.

No problem except that Liz is laughing. No, it seems like a pretty problem.

"I'm moving"

The party moves like a train pretend. It's a stupid, senior adventurer.

Follow the map and rope displayed on the glasses and arrive at the return route. Good to go, but definitely scary on the way home.

To stop,

Something "looks" in the corner of view.

In the darkness, a little girl stands alone.

She is a girl with short black hair. Strong and willing eyes, petite and thin body. It is strangely full of vitality for ghosts and visions.

It's even cooler to see it.

White sleeveless and denim hot pants. On top of that, a large jacket is worn around the sleeves.

I remember this jacket. Simple design with no pockets, chocolate color. Smooth textured material. It's like the guy I bought in the past.

He kept his weight on a modern cane. Neither the cane nor the outfit she has is obviously a different world.

What is that?

Did the Gentiles ever reach this level and end up?

What's that, this strange look.

Do you know someone? But I don't remember at all.

concern.

This girl is strangely attracted.

`` Soya member ''

"Soya!"

She was called by Yukikaze and Shuna and returned to me.

The party line is far away from the ropes.

"Who saw her?"

Darkness where you point.

There is only darkness.

“………………”

Oops. I did it. All parties are silent.

"Yes, take turns"

"ask"

Hand the glasses to the air and change positions.

With her at the top, march alongside Shuna, me, Lana, Liz, and father.

There was nothing from there to the entrance. Nothing beats me.

However, being able to return safely and without missing anybody today is a great harvest.

Just one.

A girl seen in the dark.

Even when I returned outside, it became a lump of memory and was hanging out for a while.
