Itai no wa Iya nanode Bōgyo-Ryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu

As usual, the two of them traveled underwater with no change in the scenery, sometimes recovering oxygen along the way, and were exploring a much wider area than initially expected.

How long have you been swimming?

"On the map, it was just in the middle of the crack."It's almost straight ahead, so there's a lot of things that haven't been investigated, such as the edge or the wall on the other side. "

Until we dived, we didn't know, but there were several types of terrain connected together at the bottom of the water, and there were places with different characteristics, such as the rocky and sandy areas where the two of them passed.

The sandy area looks like the main area of the ambush, so if there's something you want, it's somewhere else.

It's just sand, isn't it?

"It's possible that it's buried, but I can't find it."

It's not good for a boulder to dig around this wide sandy area without any markings or proofs.It's hard to prove that you don't have it, because you don't have it.

The monsters can handle it!

"Now let's get out of here." If you know the seeds, you won't be afraid of raids from below, and you won't want experience points or loot. "

There was no use in the sandy area, and they came to the end of the sandy area while defeating the monsters that jumped out of their feet.The headlights that illuminated a little further up were now floating on rocky hard ground.

Is it rocky again?

"From the map, you shouldn't turn back by mistake, so it's a different place."Besides, there's no such thing as a tall rock like that. "

“Really, I do.”

"It's getting harder to hide, and I'm sure you're not here earlier... unless you tell me that the difficulty has increased in the first place."

"If I hide here, there are few places to hide, so it seems difficult..."

"Well, let's proceed with caution."I'm losing oxygen again.

That's right! If you relax, you won't be able to explore anymore!

If you're too vigilant, you can't help but swim through a new area.Then, in addition to the rough rock, although it was worn out, I found something like a stone brick rolling.

"Sully, Sully! How are you!?"

"It looks like there's something sinking into the water."Would you like to spend some time exploring the area?Even if the journey is longer, there seems to be little to gain. "

"Hey, hey!"

I still don't know what kind of monsters there are here, so let me stay next to Maple.

Fine! I'll do my best to protect you!

"I'm looking forward to it."

As the two of them proceeded to explore further clues, they were able to find several traces of the former people.Although it is worn out, it has stopped its shape to the extent that it can be seen as a trace if it is made of a sturdy material.

There's one here too, Sally!

“The number of falls is increasing, and I think it means we're getting closer to the center of the area.”

It is good that things are going well.It was a maple that was swimming over there and over here, but when I suddenly turned the headlight forward, the place finally rose into the darkness.

I have a house!

"It's worn out... but it's definitely a building." Is it a town? "

It used to be the entrance to the town.When the lights were turned around, most of the buildings collapsed, and only a few of them remained.However, the amount of rubble piled up tells us that the town was very large.

Let's go in!

Yeah. No sign of any monsters.

There's no reason why I shouldn't come in here.Since there is more shade compared to the sandy area, you will swim around the town while being careful of ambushes.

Is there a building that we can get into?

I can't seem to find it under the rubble, so you're on your own.

”Fufufu, I'm used to exploring ruins!”

Huh? Really?

"I wonder?" But I've done quite a bit! "

"Yes. You've explored more than you've ever seen before."You might even notice something about the atmosphere. ”

Sally leaves exploration to Maple's intuition.

Maple seemed motivated enough to go into the nearby building first.

I checked the door, the furniture, the house without a roof, but I didn't find anything inside.

It can be seen that most things have been ruined by this large quantity of water.

Hmmm, there's nothing there, huh?

Next time, right?

Yeah, let's keep going!

If you don't try and find it, you won't give up anymore.It was when I searched and looked and didn't find it.

Follow the Maple as she cheers up, and see if Sally has missed anything.

I've dived this far, so I want to bring something home.For Maple and, of course, for myself.

I was swimming around, but apparently there were no monsters, so I kept a little distance and explored efficiently with the two of us.Of course, it is necessary to maintain a sense of distance so that the light of the headlight can be seen and the voice can reach properly.

Maple! Is something wrong?

There was something!

"Yes, it was... it was there!?"

Sally was about to pour back the words, but the light of the headlights turned toward Maple.

So, what happened?

Ah, Sally, here!

"Is this... a stone tablet? It's definitely not just a stone."

The rubble of a nearby building collapses into an avalanche, and the stone monument is as dark and dark as the surrounding water, making it feel different from the stones and iron that can be seen in the surrounding rubble.

"So, there's something written on it... this is..."

"Maybe it's a letter..."

Not all of them remain perfectly shredded by the rubble, but the surface of the black stone tablet is lined with letters similar to those taught a little by the canaries.

"Sally, can you read?"

"No, well... a little. I don't know much about it, though."

"I was just taught that time... ugh, the number of classes..."

Not both of them are insane, but it is impossible to learn an unknown language all of a sudden.

That's the only way I can do that.

…………

The two look at each other and say that this is all they can do, then open the window and start typing the message.

After a while, I got a reply from Canadian, the destination of the message.

It looks like you found something interesting.It's still hard to read, so I'll give you a hand.It's missing a lot, so let's make up for it and translate it.Looks like there's something in the middle of town.It seems to be important, and it is sealed and strictly protected.Why don't you go? I'm looking forward to a fun story of exploration. "

"It would be helpful if you could reply quickly... I see, it's sealed."

I wonder what's there?

Depending on what is sealed, there may be battles.It becomes important how much oxygen is left.

Maple, do you think you can fight?

"I still have the right skills!"I think we can manage the oxygen! "

"Well then, let's go to the center right away.""...... thank you to Canade......"

Since the destination has also been determined, we will change course towards the center of the town.Explore the area later.

Originally, it was quite deep into the town, and it quickly arrived at a place that I thought was central.

Is that it?

Probably.

There was also a building made of black stone.However, it seems that it was blocked tightly as long ago as when the stone tablet was made. Perhaps it was destroyed when the water overflowed, and the entrance door was on the verge of twisting and coming off, and it did not serve as a door.I could also check how it went in through the gap.

From the outside, it doesn't look like the inside is particularly wide, so let's go inside.

"The monsters around here are big and don't go into such a tiny place, right?"

I don't think they've been waiting for us, but they're coming in.As expected, there wasn't anything in particular, and the inside was surrounded by silence.

It is 5.6 meters deep, and there is nothing like a trap.

All I could see was one pedestal and the letters written on it.

"...... Wow"

Koo, help me!

From now on, no matter how much you scratch in extra class, you can't make it in time, so you have to call the teacher himself.

There's only one place where the letters are used as canades.

I expected that it would not happen, so I thought that two people might send me some additional messages for a while, so I replied immediately.

Um, do you want to hammer out the magic of the corresponding attributes on each wall?!

"It says that... I'll do it here."Maple doesn't have that kind of magic. "

Maple can only use poison magic properly, so we can't deal with this gimmick.You may be able to meet the requirements of the item, but this time, you don't have to think about it because Sully is here.

Sulley can use any magic without any problems.Enough to solve the gimmick.

[Fireball]!

When Sally prepares her magic, she throws it at the wall.At the same time, it bounced off the wall and disappeared. Instead, a red magic circle emerged.

"Wow! You did it, didn't you?"

Well, let's try something else.

Sally cast her magic on the rest of the wall.Canadians already deciphered which attributes correspond to which walls, so there was no doubt.

Thus, when the magic circle appeared on all the walls, a crack entered the black pedestal in front of me and split into two, emitting a blue light, creating a sphere that could flash in the center.The burst of light, like bees and electricity, gives a strong sense of energy, but as it stands, nothing more can happen.

"... nothing is happening." Do you want to touch it? "

"But you're so honeybee...?"

Let's just activate Pierce Guard for now. I'll make sure that I can recover as well. "

Alright! I'll try!

There were [Guardians of Tenacity] left, so no matter how bad the case, they would not be defeated before they left.

Maple touches the ball when she activates her abilities as promised.Immediately thereafter, a magic circle of the same color unfolded on the ground, and a powerful light emanated from the two feet.

Huh, [cover]!

At the same time that Maple was protecting Sally, they were swallowed up by the light and disappeared.
