Instant Death

The aisle was straight ahead.

The trap is mostly after it's been activated, with a few victims down.

It wasn't supposed to be nearly dangerous, but given Reinir's bad luck, he was likely to get caught up again.

So, the night fog snuck up and broke the trap. Apparently, the location of the killing trap could be detected, and if we could recognize its existence, we could kill it.

"I'm talking about the three left, are you okay?

Chichika, who got worried, heard. Now if you get three fatal injuries, there will be no more.

"When this is zero o'clock, the number is replenished in proportion to the unfortunate events of the day. So if you manage to stay up until late at night, you'll be fine!

"Nothing's going to be okay!? If you're dying with the current momentum, it won't last until late at night!

While we were talking about that, we arrived at the penetration of the aisle. There is a door there and the letters are written.

"Only one can get out"

Chichika has not yet understood the letters of this world, so the night fog read them out. Night Mist has read and almost mastered the Dictionary of Dictionary of Different Worlds Languages I received from Concierge.

"I feel magic through the door. It would be one of the trials. Probably this literal content..."

"Then it's easy. If there's only one person you can get out, only one person can get in."

Reinir responded briefly to Rick, who speculates on the contents of the trial.

"Is it that simple?

"Then I'll go in first. I have a stone to apologize for, so it's okay if you're dying!

"You have three left, are you sure you're okay?

"It's okay. Look, I got Mr. Tomotica to wrap it around!

That being said, Reinir raised his left hand, which Chichika wrapped around the string.

"Wow, that confident thing feels more ominous..."

Chichika was beginning to feel something slightly creepy about Rhineal. Though it could be resurrected with star crystals, it seemed too indifferent to the surrounding circumstances and too obsessed with raw.

"Well, let me do it! Because I won't bother you if you die at worst!

Rhineal opens the door. Shortly after entering, there was a wall and the passage followed to the right.

Reinir entered willingly and the door closed automatically.

"It would be nice to go in alone. How can you tell if you got out of there safely if there's an exit other than here? And if Mr. Reinell clears it, does that mean we won't even be able to try this trial? Isn't there too many holes in this operation?

"Ah."

The night mist raised the most questions, but that was not enough to worry about.

"Ghaaaaaaaa!

Because I could hear Reinir screaming right away. I mean, it turns out it's not safe.

Let's go in.

"In the end, there was no point in letting you go alone..."

"What do you say, it's just like putting him in a dangerous eye..."

But maybe this is also evidence that Reinir's fortunes are hopelessly bad.

Open the door and the three of us enter. Proceeding to the right, the passage was immediately broken to the left and the room was spread out ahead.

There was a blood odor. Inside there are scattered scattered human bodies. That's not one or two. Dozens of bodies are rolling around in blood without being able to undo it.

"Mr. Rainier!?"

Reinir's left arm was falling right into the room. Chichika's decorative strings are wrapped around it, so you can't go wrong.

- No way in here!

If Chichika panicked and looked around the room, Reinir himself was a little far away, standing back. The only thing I seem to have lost is my left arm, and if that's all I could say, I was lucky, but it didn't make sense that I fixed the star crystal to my left arm.

Rick pulled the knife out and pointed his sword at the person standing in the back of the room.

The maid's clothes were like a woman who didn't look good. There is even something impatient about that noble position. To Chichika, I didn't think the woman was just Fuku.

"This is you?

Rick asked carefully. There is an unusual tension in that voice.

"Yeah, but I don't think I can blame you. Do you know how this room works? The trial begins when two or more people enter the room, and the door doesn't open from the inside. And when I'm alone, the exit door opens. I mean, we're being forced to kill each other."

"You may be right, but you were alone in this room until earlier. Then you could have left the room?

"Yeah. The trial is over, and it seems to be one-time. So you could have walked through this room without any effort."

"I mean, that you're not going to let it through?

The woman stood in front of the door. The intention is clear.

"I don't think what that black guy said is a mistake, either. Kensei was bittersweet on that occasion, but would you say the same thing on this occasion? In the end, the strongest should be Kensei. So is it just too late or too early?

The black one would mean the swordsman in black, who asked if he could be a sword saint if he killed them all.

She dared to wait here and seemed to intend to reduce her rivals.

"If strength is the only criterion for judgment, all you have to do is choose a successor from the Unswept position. If not, there must be thoughts of Kensei there!

A lady in maid clothes just standing and Rick putting up a sword without a gap. The appearance was a real contrast.

Rick's setup, I guess fear made him take it. Rick pointing his sword at me is just trying to build a wall between me and the woman. That's what Chika looked like.

"Mr. Tomotica, that's not good. Worst case scenario."

"I know you, what is it?

From earlier on, it seemed that way to Chichika.

"There must be no one who aspires to Kensei and doesn't know it. His name is Teresa. He's a former royal swordsman."

"Well, I don't really know what the position is, but are you strong?

I wasn't sure about Chika. I feel a unique sign, but it wasn't as masterful as Chichika would know.

"The Swordsman position is third when it comes to the Swordsman's rank. By the way, I am the king's sword position, so seventh place. I mean, he's not a decent match to fight and win."

"Does a former royal outfit mean he fell that far?

"Is that where you care?

Rick speaks like he's out of his mind. Theresa herself then answered Chika's question.

"This outfit is a hobby."

I know you were whispering, but this conversation seemed slippery. You won't be able to talk to me about getting away with this.

"You can't escape through the entrance because you've already hit your hand."

Teresa says as if she had read Chichika's thoughts. Chichika, who confirmed behind her back, noticed that the escape route was blocked.

"Be careful, Mr. Rick! Thin wires are planted in many places!

Chichika's eyesight also played a role here. They broke through the fact that ultra-fine wires were planted all over the room, like they wouldn't be visible if they were normal.

"Yeah, I know her M.O. She uses a thin filamentous sword."

"Isn't the expanded interpretation of the word swordsman too bad!?"

I don't care what you think, Chichika thinks this would be a yarn user.

"Well. Master Kensei will also have trouble with the elephant surviving. At least show me how worthwhile it is to get away with my attack."

As soon as the air trembled and Rick shook up his sword, a tall metal noise echoed.

It would be as if you didn't know what happened in a regular person. But Chichika was witnessing the moment Rick intercepted the falling wire.

Rick's sword moves endlessly. There was so much continuous metal noise that there was no interruption. Rick keeps preventing looming wires from coming from all directions.

Is it because of Theresa's skill or because of the material? Not a single wire was turned down. Though they will be bounced, they will re-orbit and strike again.

"Come on!... I'll stop this place somehow. You guys look at the gap and go to the exit!

Rick's words were full of bitterness, even as he brilliantly judged the looming wire at high speed.

Chichika also knew.

Teresa is playing. You're interested in the exams, or Rick's ability to manage to contain the attack.

Rick would think to step on thin ice. Teresa is trying to get Rick to give her all she can after grasping his strength. If you lose your mind even for a moment, if you can't out-power yourself, that's it.

But if this is her exam, there was hope. Because if you're going to ride her thoughts, it should also be possible to escape.

"Die."

But the battle came to a light end with a word of night mist.

Rick's blow puts it together and slaps the wire. Teresa fell, and stopped moving.

"You know what? It's nice to be obsessed with the fight, but haven't you forgotten about Mr. Reinell?

I said as if the night fog had struck me.

"Oh, I was! You didn't use an apology stone! Mr. Reinir, are you all right!

Chichika rushed over to Reinir.

"... what the hell..."

Rick had a pompous face, staring at Theresa, who had stopped moving.
