Legend

One room in the back of the Marchelle family mansion. In it Prix was smiling, looking at the gem in his hand.

Gemstones are decorated all around the room, a sight to describe even exactly with the garden of gemstones.

The lights are also adjusted with various hands according to Prix's unique standards so that you can fully enjoy the gem.

"Whenever you look at it, it's so deep blue that it's going to suck in. It's too much to keep watching... but today's ritual makes you more beautiful. Well, it's blue now, but what color will it be after the ritual? Quickly show me that you're prettier than you are now."

Love the gems with a sneer grin.

Fortunately, the sacrifices used in today's ritual are quite famous adventurers. More than that, the brilliance of its life should have polished the jewels more beautifully.

A sweet moment spent with the jewels you love yourself. It was a blissful time that would not normally allow anyone to get in the way, but it is inadvertently forced back to me with the sound of the door opening of the room.

"Master, Sinnyushades"

To the words, Prix's hand, which was stroking the gem, stopped perfectly.

"An intruder? Let us deal with the fanatics of Holy Light."

"Hijounita Kaimaryoku Mottail Monomoi Masuga"

The word out of the doll's mouth stops me from trying to love the gem again.

The words out of that mouth are very hard to hear, but they sound just fine to Prix to say the producer.

"High magic? Could it be Master Elaine, who came here the other day?

"Yea, Chigaimas. Desga, soleyori motakai maryoku motta monogachtri. Sochiranihao Yobi Masenga, Takai Marioku Motta Monogahitori"

So the doll, once cut off the words, opens her mouth again.

"Soleto, Büne Flautnosgatamokakuninsimasita"

When those explanations came out of the doll's mouth, there was a grin in Prix's mouth that the grump of being interrupted by a moment of bliss had also disappeared somewhere.

But the grin is not very much, but hesitant to describe it as a grin, a grin that even makes the beholder feel disastrous.

"The Beaune of the Fraut family?... thats it. I didn't expect you to come into our hands from the other side. And those who possess greater magic than Master Elaine, and those who do not extend to it but possess higher magic? This is my day to day act, so is this the guy who protects the Holy Goddess of Light?

Prix turns his gaze to the doll who came into the room, whining to ridicule him toward a god he doesn't believe in himself or at all.

"How much Holy Light was left in the mansion?

"20 Ninhodokato. Scosimaeni 30 ninhodoga de caquema citanode"

"You have an oliqueur, too, right?

"Hi."

Open your mouth with a nymphomaniacal grin as you illuminate the light of the room with the ring embedded in all your right hand fingers in the doll's words.

"Then work with the other dolls to capture them. About 40 will suffice. The fact that they have high magic power definitely makes them superb material. And..."

Turn your lucid gaze toward the jewels decorated in your room.

to two jewels: orange red and water coloured.

"It's a corner, so let Beaune see her parents. I'm sure she was only 10 years old or there, so you'll still miss her parents. Living with three parents and children is something I've been thinking about."

I guess that word alone figured out what my master was thinking. The doll leaves the room with a small head down.

After a glimpse of the doll loyal to himself, Puri's gaze once again turns to the precious material that came from him into his own hands, directed toward the gem.

Only for a moment in that, past the back of my brain, was Bosc, the head of the Silva family, one of us who is ruling this Exil.

At first glance, it also looks like someone you can take with your brain muscle or on your hand, but in fact, a man who has been instinctively avoiding the praiseworthy hand that has been stretched out more than once.

"It's going to be troublesome when that guy sneezes out... but considering the Levisole family thing, you won't be able to make any far-fetched moves"

So whine and decide there is no problem.

If we had thought more closely about the identity of those who had broken in at this time, or the presence of the high magic in it could have been the ray of adventurers with deep red aliases, connected to that ray, to Elaine, and to Bosc, connected to those two in the matter of anomalous species.

However, he was obsessed with the act of loving gems, and when he was told that there was an intruder who had been after him for a long time, the back of Prix's brain was filled with gems that he could get.

It could be described as a puri faulty obsessed to the point that this neighborhood is bigoted about gems.

No need to worry, Prix, believing that he would undoubtedly get superb gems, returned to the blissful moments of loving gems.

"... there's really nobody there"

It was the Rays who went inside the mansion, but in a way, no one was inside the mansion as expected.

Light magic items were installed on the aisle walls at certain distances, but for Nact and Buune, who are working out to make the night work as a measure of traps and dark hierarchies in the dungeons, Ray, who originally had dark vision capability, not about those three people, but who can still see through the darkness more than the average person, Ning Luo Light is only in the way of covert action in terms of raising their figure.

"Nact, Bühne, where do you think someone is being caught in these cases?

Ray asks just for the moment and opens his mouth while Nact looks difficult.

"If it were normal, I think it would be a basement or something..."

"Mmm."

Beaune groans to agree with Nact and turns her gaze to the hallway.

In fact, Ray also thought it was very likely that the adventurers caught in the basement were just caught in the Azitos of the Sacred Lightists.

"Why don't you just give me an allowance or gradually destroy the room? That way people will come from the other side sooner or later, so you just have to catch them and interrogate them."

That's what Vihera whines about, which has nothing to do with Teevia.

I've lent a hand to Ray's acquaintance, but if I tried it on Vihela, it's the Marchelle family, which is also one of the three houses that rule Exil, so I just thought there were more powerful enemies than that.

But if I actually snuck in, I didn't even see the servant of the mansion, rather than the enemy, and I was in a hurry.

"I'm sorry, but I want you to be a little more patient with the rumbling. After I did something to help Teevia out..."

Because I know Vihera is called a madman in this Exil, I ask Nakt to go out poorly so he doesn't manage to piss me off either.

"... I get it. Well, maybe it would have been more interesting to turn to the Silva family."

"When you're going to act with Elaine, there's definitely going to be a commotion first, so stop it. Anyway, if the dungeons are suspicious, you should look for them."

Even if he was talking about it here any longer, Ray decides to just waste his time and hangs on to the door of a room nearby for now.

And when I open the door...

"Nothing?

Unexpectedly whine.

Yes, there is not even any kind of furniture in the room, and all there is is is a beautifully polished floor.

I guess it's done without getting out of hand when it comes to cleaning. As far as the lights from the corridors and the places illuminated by the moonlight coming in through the windows are concerned, little dust or debris exists either.

"Don't even look too well cleaned for an unused room"

Nact also peeks into the room from the side of Ray and tilts his neck.

"I do doubt it's a bit well cleaned up to rooms I don't use, even though I don't have many servants so far... but considering it's the Marchelles, isn't that so surprising?

"... although that may be true"

"Anyway, if you look all the way through here and there's nothing there, you can check out another room. If that room is as beautiful as it is here, I'm sure all the rooms in this mansion will remain beautiful."

To the words of Vihera, and that too, Nod Nact and Bühne scatter to check the room quickly.

Ray will also explore what's going on inside if he can help at all again, but Vihera won't try to move through the entrance to the room.

Ray turned his gaze towards you for a moment, but when he understood that Vihella's consciousness was pointing out of the room, he was convinced that he was on guard and explored the room.

Then...

"Hey, you're lying, right?

The voice of Nact, who was examining the walls of the room, echoes into the room.

Everyone's gaze is pointed at the voice, but Nact himself is mocking the wall without looking at all concerned... eventually wondering if he heard a chirping motion, at the next moment a part of the floor opens and the staircase going downstairs becomes dewy.

"... you do know what it's like to want to say you're lying"

Ray squeaks as he turns his gaze toward that staircase that suddenly appears in the corner of the room.

A hidden staircase leads to the basement, which was present in the first room that I accidentally snuck into, in a mansion this size.

Whatever you think, you have to feel something deliberate.

"But it was only by chance that we decided to go into this room, wasn't it? I wouldn't have checked this room if I'd been inside the mansion from somewhere else. Given that, I think it's only a coincidence that there's a hidden staircase here. Isn't it simply our luck?

"... mmm..."

Biune also tilts his neck at the words of Vihera.

Sure, there are a lot of suspicious aspects to it, but it's still only a coincidence that I checked this room out, as Vihella said. But I really have to feel something deliberate. The stray was why Bühne was tilting his neck.

"And... even if this was someone's idea in the first place, do you think we could infiltrate the mansion and then create these hidden stairs?

"... Indeed"

I can only assume that I was lucky enough to find a staircase leading to the basement in front of me, beyond being able to argue against that word.

"Anyway, I found the stairs, so why don't you go down? If there's a trap, you just have to eat it and break it."

If you can't help but worry about it here as it is, everyone else nods indisputably to Ray's words that have changed your mood.

You don't have to hesitate to help Teevia if you try to make it nakt, and Vihera is likely to have powerful enemies if you head underground. Bühne doesn't like the Marchelle family.

Each for a different reason, decided there was no need to hesitate here and went down the stairs.

In the order of Bühne, Vihella, Ray and Nakt from the beginning.

Nact turned to the rear because he still thought there might be some action from behind more than going underground on the hidden stairs.

In the sense of perceiving the signs, Ray also had confidence. However, if I can be entrusted to the post, I will decide that I should entrust it to Nakt and give him the tail.

We go down the stairs as we stand in that line...... eventually we go down to the bottom in a few minutes, the door in front of us.

"Again, all we have is a brilliant door.... What do we do?

That's what Vihella asks, but as things stand, there's nothing else to do but open this door.

When Bühne and Nakt gaze at each other and end their exchange of views as bandits silently, Bühne gently reaches for the door.

Having seen it, Ray and Vihera are vigilant as they prepare to deal with whatever happens.

Fortunately, the door was not locked, and the door opened as the metal sounded... Rays' face stained with surprise when he saw what lay ahead.

"This is..."

At the end of the line of sight is a large room. If you think about it in Ray's perception, it would be about 40 tatami. It's huge.

"It's nice to be big, but you don't have anything here either, like the room upstairs"

Vihera squeaks as she dives through the door and looks around the room.

In fact, there are several tables and chair types in the large room at the end of the gaze, but there is only a meaninglessly large space otherwise. … except.

"As far as the walls go, I'm pretty sure we found a hidden staircase."

Ray's gaze is directed at the doors countless on the walls of the vast room.

Several doors existed on the same wall as the doors they entered.
