"Well ... Is there a safety zone ..."

Sally mutters.

Sally realized he was starting to lose his concentration.

It's no wonder that fatal mistakes are about to happen.

And if Sally misses the enemy in search of a mistake, it could lead to death for everyone.

"I have to do my best ..."

Tap your cheeks to make your ears clear.

"I can hear a faint sound from the road on the left.

Even when they listen carefully, they are hidden by the sound of the ground and cannot be heard well.

I was unlikely to be able to take the place.

"Hurry up, it's bad if it appears on the right too

"Oh, I see."

"Yeah, let's go!"

The three go quickly on the right passage.

There was no snail figure there, and he could head back.

If they were going to the left, it was a snail at that time.

Sally's search had not lost its effect at the last minute.

After a while, they ran into a bump.

But it wasn't just bad.

"There is something!"

Kasumi pointed to a large purple crystal.

Enclosed in it were earrings imitating old keys and cherry blossoms.

When the three approached and looked, the purple crystal had an HP bar.

In other words, it can be destroyed.

"It looks like you need a key ... you have to bring it ..."

"Yeah, I think so too"

"If ... I'll do it"

Kasumi pulls out his sword and holds it.

"[Yo Tachi, Whirlwind]!"

Slash up and down twice.

A high-speed four-shot is sucked into the crystal.

The crystal was unable to withstand the barrage and shattered with the shattering palling of the glass.

Kasumi picks up the key and earring that fell on the ground and confirms it.

"The key ... has no description. The earrings are just equipment. It doesn't seem particularly relevant to escape."

Have them say that.

"Yeah, sure."

"The keys are ... where are they used?"

"Well ...? First of all, this earring is a hazy one"

Sally hands her earrings to Kasumi.

After a short discussion, I decided to give the key to Kasumi.

"Then ... let's go back to the search."

There is no escape here because it is a dead end.

The three decided to rush back.

Then, the three people who turned back searched for a while and found a side hole near the ceiling.

In the middle of the passage, it was something I had never seen before.

It's also natural that the three thought something was in them.

"Are you sure?"

"Hmm ... I don't think it can be reached with [leaping] ..."

Jumping is not enough to enter the side hole at a height of 10 meters.

At that time when they were thinking.

"... Wait, quietly! ... I'm coming!"

Sally's ears did hear that squeak.

That, too, from both sides.

"I was wary of pinching!"

Sally had read the position with all her power without ever having to pinch and never even encounter it in the first place.

The best route was selected by roughly knowing the distance and position from the direction and size of the ground sound.

It collapsed only when it came here.

He misread the movement of one snail.

"I only have to enter that side hole ..."

"Sally, it's a leap! I'll do the rest!"

I had no time to ask what Kasumi was going to do.

Snails appeared from both sides.

"[Leap]!"

She sought a bit of hope that Sally might have arrived, but she wasn't enough in this situation with the added weight of two.

"[Mino Tachi, Kogetsu]!"

Kasumi's body accelerates in the air.

Supported by the system, the body of the Kasumi jumps up to be shot out.

Of course they are also pulled.

Kasumi's body makes a full rotation in the air and falls forward, leaving the effect of slashing.

It was just towards the entrance of the side hole.

They plunged into the side hole as if rolling. Sally sees the snail below.

The snail did not reach above what was sprinkled with mud and mucus.

"I don't think there is any way to come up ..."

Sally sits down and rests her back on the crystal wall.

"Haha ... I'm glad I went well ..."

"Thank you Kasumi. I couldn't reach just my [leaping]."

"Yeah! It was amazing!"

"The lonely moon has a long rigidity when removed .... If it didn't reach, I wouldn't move and would have been hit by a snail ... I was a gamble as well."

The bet was a success.

Thanks to them, they can take a rest after a long absence.

This side hole is not big enough for a snail.

"It's good to take a break, but ... don't look back first? There's no guarantee that there's no other monster ..."

"... Yeah. That might be good. I was convinced that the only monster here was a snail."

"Yeah, I think it's good too"

The three members agree.

When they stood up, they headed deep into the side hole.

The side hole led to a circular hall.

About five meters away from the ground, there are six passages in the room.

You can see from a distance that the snail can pass through.

And there was one door on the wall just in front of the side hole where the three were.

The height is about 2 meters.

It was not a huge door like the boss room.

"Is that an exit?"

"Wait a minute. [Distant]! ... There is a keyhole. I guess you will use the key just before. I think there is definitely something."

"Well ... let's go? The snail sounds don't come from any passage."

"For real?"

"Are you sure?"

Sally listens again when they say so.

No sound can be heard from any passage.

After listening for a few minutes, no snails were heard after all.

"Okay. I can't hear any sound."

"If ... Would you go?"

"Yeah, let's do it."

The three descended on the ground.

Maple and Kasumi trusted Sally's search capabilities.

Sally had absolute confidence in her ability.

And there was no mistake in the answer derived from that ability.

There were no snails in any of the passages, or even no monsters.

But if you want to state the conclusion first.

After all, they should have taken a rest in that side hole.

Their thinking ability had certainly declined without their realization.

so.

They didn't realize at all that the environment might change after they got off.

The crystal grows rapidly and closes the side hole.

And all the passages began to hear that bad sound.

The creepy sound of that guchogucho.

"Well, not good!"

"what will you do!?"

"Let's run! That's it!"

Maple is now fully equipped.

However, there is no spare time to take off the equipment. Snails are already crawling out of the passage.

The distance to the door is 25 meters.

The distance, which would normally not be a big deal, seemed terribly far from the three.
