Isekai Dungeon de RTA

Episode 46: Dungeons of Knowledge (Primary) 3

I didn't even think I'd go down the stairs alone without telling the two of them anything like this - but I had no choice but to head to the stone slab where the two of them were because it was just so bad.

"What do you say? How you doing?"

Let's just put in the exploration.

"Dear Kite…… that's it"

"It's subtle."

The look on their faces is not excellent.

"Is something wrong?

"……… I was wondering if you would understand if you could look at the tablet"

I can't imagine it being that difficult. It was easy as a puzzle.

I break in between them and stand in front of the tablet.

Uh, what?

……

I can't read it.

It says 5 of the numbers at the top of the tablet, and then the letters are in the left half of the tablet, and the numbers are in the right half.

But I have no idea what that means. In the first place, the character group on the left is not a sentence either.

I see.

In the meantime, I see why you two are confused.

It would mean that you simply didn't know what it meant with me.

... But is this the one called cryptography?

You can try to solve it seriously, but the staircase has already emerged to move on.

We're wasting too much time...

"Simply put, you mean align the paintings."

I make them read something that looks like a crypto without changing their expression.

Of course, I don't know how to read it. I just counted it backwards from the gimmick.

"No way... can you read it?

"Come on, is that true?"

Leia and Liv come stuffed.

Well, I can't help it, 'cause it looks like we've cracked the code we're struggling with in a flash.

"Yeah, it should mean something more or less."

"Hey, how do you know that?

"That's true……………"

If the cipher can be solved quickly, you can explain to him how to solve it, but he just has too little time to think about it.

While I respond appropriately, I direct them towards the stairs that have already appeared.

"I'll explain. Come here a little bit."

The two men who arrived in front of the stairs were just as surprised.

"……… This is…"

"Is this a staircase to move on?

I nod at Liv's words.

"As you can see. Is that enough explanation for you?

I keep my chest open and declare that this is an explanation.

Of course it can't be enough, but it's troublesome to get stuck in a lot of things. Especially for Leia…….

If you find out there's already a way out, Liv, you should feel the snakefoot for a detailed explanation here, etc.

Then you just have to convince Leia.

Well, that might be a bit of a hassle...

"... Dear Kate, weren't you talking about letting us handle this one?

"I don't want you to misunderstand, but it just so happens that the stairs showed up. I was just enjoying the pictures in my spare time."

"... by chance? And what do you mean by" painting "?

Leia turns her skeptical gaze toward me as I say so.

I can't help it. I'll give Leia and Liv a brief description of the picture situation.

But Leia doesn't look convinced.

Well, I don't mind if you complain, so let's just keep it in mind.

"Because the painting itself was easier, which means that what was difficult this time was the cryptography that was painted on the tablet... You had no luck."

I try to convince you by emphasizing that the puzzle itself was easy.

"You say luck, but Master Kite has also solved the cipher quickly. Could you at least explain it to me?

Was it a snake……….

I would have dared to distract myself from the cryptography on the tablet. If this happens, there's no other choice.

"…… right, ok"

That's what I said, and I'll bring the two of you in front of the tablet again.

It took a little while, but I had an approximate idea of the cipher on the tablet.

"Actually... this line of letters and numbers is encrypted."

"That's where we found out..."

Leia nodded cocklessly at Liv's words.

"Well listen. First look at the line of letters written on the left half. It's a sentence that doesn't make any sense as it is, but when you shift the letters, you know what it means."

"Shift the letters? What's the meaning of this?

I'm not going to waste my answers.

This explanation is a waste of time in the first place......

"... I understand!

Whether you've been pinned in my words, Leia shouts a little louder than usual.

This is all the tips you got? If so, it's a big deal.

"Then what can you read in the upper left hand corner?

"The sun...... is it?

"……… correct"

I didn't know I really knew......

After all, she seems to spin her head fast.

"Hey, explain it to me so I can figure it out!

"… I haven't understood everything yet either"

Why don't you just explain?

"Simply put, this is a preliminary Caesar dark......"

Wait.

Caesar is not a resident of this world.

There's no way I know these two when I say Caesar cipher.

What do you call it in this world?

Although it is not necessarily named in the first place.

Of course there will be Caesar ciphers in this world as well.

But it may not be very common to look at what they didn't know.

I think it is far from the feeling that the samples are common at this point in time…….

I cough one up and start explaining.

"Simply put, this is a kind of cipher that makes sense for the first time by shifting letters."

The two of them are quietly listening in silence.

"Three-character shifting is common, but there is no particular determination. In this case, it says 5 on the center of the tablet, so just shift it by 5 characters."

"I see…………………."

Looks like Liv understood too.

Leia nods silently.

Caesar ciphers are preliminary ciphers.

Not to mention dramas and movies, they also often appear in reasoning games, etc. Of course, I have experience with RTA in reasoning games...

I just don't really want to recall the RTA in the reasoning game.

By the nature of the game, it's mostly the type of adventure that reads text.

It almost depends on how you choose your options and when you press the message feed button…….

Well, the biggest downside is that I don't understand the story because I'm going to skip the text to the next page right away.

"…… Dear Kite."

I can speak to Leia unexpectedly.

Apparently, my thoughts were quite out of line.

"Let's keep explaining. The number on the right relative to the letter on the left is how many times the pattern is shifted. I haven't seen you two, but there was a trick to step on the floor and move the pattern."

I'm not so sure about the numbers on the right. I have already forgotten the position of the first pattern beautifully.

I can't be sure because I don't remember.

But it's the same thing the other two can't be sure of. Which means you don't have to worry about getting a penetration from the two of us.

"Let's move on."

I turn my back on both of them and walk out to the stairs.

Neither of us seem to be complaining.

Apparently, you convinced me.

Moving on to the next hierarchy, there is still a stone slab in the center of the floor as well.

There's something about the hierarchy just now, and I'll keep quiet here......

I urge both of you to go ahead with nature.

But the two of them don't show signs of responding.

"Hmm? Neither of you will disturb me this time, so I hope you'll check first."

"……… No, Master Kite, not at all."

"Oh, now I'll have you come with me. It's not boring to be solved again."

When you say that, as you indicated, you pull me forcefully in front of the tablet.

Subsequent junior dungeons were two singles altars, with the exception of me.

Sometimes it would have been elementary, but I would pass the hierarchy without having to lend a particular hand.

Well, I wasn't allowed to lend myself a hand...

The three of us are not particularly bitter, and we reach the fifth level.

As we continue down the aisle, we see a large door.

According to Alliance information, this is the lowest level of this dungeon. If it's a regular dungeon, it's the boss's room, but this dungeon has no enemies.

Is this the end of the attack?

I reach out my hand to the door while suppressing my feelings for doing so.

"……… Please wait, Dear Kite"

My movements stop with Leia's voice.

"Hmm? What is it?

"……… apparently one must enter at a time"

Follow Leia's gaze - letters were floating by the door.

"Hmm, it does say one at a time, as the princess says. It would be easier to obey for now."

Liv is right. There will be no reason to defy it.

If so, the question is who goes first……. Well, you don't even have to think about it.

"I'll be the first to go and see how it goes. I don't think it's dangerous, but it's definitely not..."

I'll declare it for now.

The truth is that there is a possibility that the fastest strategy can be achieved, but of course there is no reason to say so.

"Dear Kate, I'm here..."

For some reason Leia is still motivated here.

Exactly. I can't give up here.

"No, it's unlikely that there will be demons, but there's no reason to take Leia alone to a place where there's going to be a little danger. Understand."

"……… but"

Leia doesn't seem convinced yet.

The desire to be useful is very helpful, but I can't pull this off right now. It would be best if I left out the fastest offense. Liv on the next point. The choice of her going is unlikely in itself.

"Fair enough, princess. You should leave it to kite here. Guys want to dress up at times like this."

Liv... I think that's a little different.

But it's a corner. Do you want to stay on the Liv?

"I mean. There hasn't been a turn since the middle of the dungeon... At least let me dress like this."

Tighten your expression and say as you look into Leia's eyes.

But as always, I can't count what's in her heart.

The same poker face...... hmm? For a moment, my cheeks were a little red.

I observe her expression again.

"…… I understand. I'll leave this place to Master Kite."

Yeah. You look exactly as usual...... Was it apparently your fault?

Well, permission has been granted, and would you like to go inside the room now?

"Then I'm going. If there seems to be danger, I'll be back once."

When I told them that, I walked into the door.
