Legend

Looking at several doors on the wall of the room, Ray recalls the shape of the Marchelle family mansion.

It was a big Co lettering, and the Rays snuck into the mansion from the one at its end, checking out a room where no one was and discovered a staircase descending into the basement.

"I mean... you mean every room had a staircase down to the basement?

"I guess..."

Nact agrees with Ray's whining.

If so, it was also convincing to discover a staircase leading to the basement in the room you entered suddenly.

If you didn't stumble into a room with a hidden staircase and find it, and all the rooms have stairs, then Rays' act is nothing but luck or nothing. Certainly.

And...

"Mmm."

Turn your gaze to Bühne's voice across the street from where we came in.

Only the walls are there, and there are no doors like the Rays came in.

In other words, only one side of the wall in this 40 tatami room is equipped with several doors.

It wasn't hard to understand what that meant.

"You mean there's another room the same size as here so we can get in from the opposite side of what we came in? … and"

We gaze at the wall we came into and the wall on the right, not the wall opposite it.

Only one door exists there.

It was obvious what the door here meant.

"Is that the only place that that door can go through this basement? Then there's a good chance that Teevia will be at that door."

"Mmm."

Beaune nods with a word of groaning at the words coming out of Ray's mouth, and Nact's expression tightens.

"I wish I had a strong opponent"

Speaking of, Vihera shrugs her shoulders small and squeaks, imagining, as usual, a battle with her powerful enemies.

"So you want to move on to that door? Or..."

Ray's gaze, whining, was directed at several tables and chairs placed in a corner of a space about 40 tatami wide. That's all that's been put in this vast space is uncomfortable, to say the least.

But as far as the distance goes, there's nothing in particular. It seems pretty upscale just because it's used in the Marchelle family, but I still didn't even think there was some kind of trick.

To Ray's inquiry, Nact, distressed for a few seconds, nods small and opens his mouth.

"Right, let's find out. You might be interested in moving on without looking into it later. Even if it's going to go to waste, you'd better settle the questions around it."

In the end, Nact's opinion was adopted, and the Rays walked out toward those with tables and chairs in the corner of the room.

Although Vihella seemed bored because it could first be judged that there was no battle with the strong enemy.

Nuigurumi and vases are arranged on the table, and flowers are kept alive in the vase.

"The flowers are still bright. Then you can probably assume that this room is used quite often."

Nact gently examines the flower and tells him so, and the look on Rays' face when he hears it tightens slightly and looks carefully around him.

There was naturally someone who was doing some work here, and then it would never be safe here.

Of course, it couldn't have been safer than being a hidden room in the Marchelle family, which is also the home of the enemy, but it is natural that the danger will vary depending on whether it is used more or less frequently.

Keep Ray and Vihera on perimeter alert, and Nact and Büne will find out if there's anything at the desk or around it.

However, there is nothing in particular to be found, and furthermore, there is little place to investigate itself, and the investigation ends in less than a minute.

"... you can't. Nothing in particular. I think you should head over that door."

"Mmm."

Unfortunately Nact groans with a sigh of relief, and so does Bühne, as he agrees with it.

More than just in case it was an investigation from the beginning, I'm not particularly sorry... No, Ray nodded with a look like Ning Ro was convinced and turned his gaze toward the only door that seemed to connect him in the back.

At that moment, the doll placed on his desk moves pickly, kicking the table he was sitting at until a moment ago and pulling through the thin long needle he had hidden in his own body towards Ray's head, attacking him as a protrusion.

"Whoa!

Ray noticed that was tantamount to total coincidence.

It has not emitted any more signs than it is a doll, and furthermore there is no such thing as homicide.

If you try to detect and deal with the signs of hostile opponents and the kind of killer, it's like you can even call them some kind of natural enemies.

But I should say fortunate in my unhappiness, by chance...... really by chance, Ray was about to turn to the doll that was decorated on the table, and because of it I realized that something was pushing straight and fast towards my head.

The doll flies right next to Ray's face, slipping away from him, and hits the ceiling as it is... I thought I would flip Kurli and his body to land on the ceiling.

Ray didn't know what technique was used for that doll, but he still recognized it as a kind of magic item. No, he took the death size out of the mystering and set it up.

Fortunately, there are currently about 40 tatami spaces, and there is plenty of room for swinging a death size unlike the room where the staircase to the basement was located.

A moment of adhesion.

It was the doll who broke it.

He kicks the ceiling with no sign or killing as well earlier and jumps with a needle toward the ray.

"If you can see it, there's no problem!

Swing the death-size at the doll that hangs on his face and sticks straight into it, trying to match the timing.

A moment of intersection.

And at the next moment, the doll hits the floor, and the impact rolls it apart into the upper and lower body.

"... doll, because?

Already dead in Ray's attack...... no, Nact softly approaching the deactivated doll.

It was Nact, who had seen so many rare things as a party bandit with a pretty good name, but the sight of a doll coming at us was unexpected.

Of course, in dungeons, monsters called puppets sometimes show up as a kind of golem system. But they're not as small as this doll.

The doll, which was about 20 cm in size, was cut to about 10 cm by a flash of death size.

It was Nact trying to reach for that upper body part...

"Mmm!"

"Cine!"

A needle released from Bühne stitches the doll to the ground to stop its movement.

Yes, the movement of a doll that was about to be thrown by nactus just by the movement of her upper body's hand.

"... sorry"

"Mmm."

To Nact, who speaks small and breathtaking words of gratitude, Büne returns his words briefly just saying that he has no problem, and this time he reaches for the doll, which has really stopped moving.

It doesn't feel like there are demonic stones inside that serve as a power source, it's just a regular doll filled with cotton.

Even less, it didn't seem like I could kick on the table and jump on the target at all that speed, let alone imitate standing on the ceiling.

"... How's it going?

"Mmm."

To Vihella's inquiry, Biune shakes his neck to the side.

Still, if you get a clue of something, you approach Ray with a doll divided into two parts: upper and lower body.

"Mmm."

Ray, who housed the Death Size, glances at the remains of the doll offered by Büne and turns his gaze to Vihera.

I said, "Keep it in the item box."

"Mmm!"

Although the puppet is given to Büne, who snorts at him as he is, with a slightly unpleasant look on his face, there is no reason to leave him alone more than he knows he will just get in the way as he is, and reluctantly stores him in mystering.

If you try it on Ray, it's like there's no killing spirit, no sign of it... and at first glance, there was nothing troublesome about the existence that just looked like a doll.

(Pri Marchelle... Elaine told me that she was studying technology that could magic into jewelry... but it was a raccoon)

He groans bitterly inside and once again turns his gaze to the door that is inside the room.

The doors that we have come out of, and the doors that line up at equal intervals from them, will lead to the stairs that lead to the buildings on the ground. Then the only door that existed in the corner of the room was the way to go from this basement.

"... let's go"

Everyone nods and walks on to the words out of Ray's mouth.

Eventually, when we arrived in front of the door, Bühne and Nakt checked to see if there were any traps at all.

Fortunately, there is no such thing as a trap, and Nact opens the door while each is on guard. And it came into my eyes...

"Again."

Nact whining in unintentional ways.

That's not impossible either. Because there was a passage ahead of the door, and there were several doors in that passage.

The door opened by Nact is the far end of the aisle, and just across the street there is a similar door.

Given the shape of the building itself, it was obvious that the door in front of us was connected to the same place as the room we had just entered.

Still, I can't help watching, so I head out into the aisle.

It's a fairly long passage, and if every door is a room or something, it's probably a length that won't fit just on the Marchelle family property.

"Well, what do we do? I guess it's better to check all the doors than to know where Teevia is being captured..."

"Exactly. That's a hassle, and it'll take too long."

To Ray's words, Vihera flaunts her shoulders just saying she's sorry.

Fortunately, the aisle is equipped with several light magic items, and you may have been lucky not to have any trouble with darkness. No matter how bright you are at night, you've never been bright.

"But more than no clue..."

If you try to make it nakt, if you open the door properly and there's teevia there, it's still fine. But I was absolutely sorry that Teevia would go ahead and be irrevocable without realizing the room where she was being captured...

"Well, I also have to look for evidence that you were involved in the anomalous species thing. Why don't we just adopt Nact's opinion here?

"Mmm!"

Beaune also nods at Ray's words.

If I try it as a Bühne, it can only be attributed to the Marchelle family, and I wish I could return that interest at all in this case.

Plus, I'm pretty sure there's a strong attachment to a place called Exil, more than just being the only blood muscle in the Flaut family. An anomalous species at risk of leading such an exil to ruin. I couldn't imitate it like I overlooked it any more than I found out that it was the Marchelles and Holy Lightism that were manipulating the Levisole family, which was studying that anomalous species.

"Phew, I get it.... No enemies will come out, and Ray will take them down lightly even as they come out. Honestly, I wonder why I'm here."

Vihera shrugs her shoulders, shaking her big breasts with a razor.

There's no way I can say I'm a Bühne interpreter, think about making it lay, making it nakt, and opening the door to the left or right in silence.

"... it doesn't change either way. Then why don't we just start from the right?

"Okay."

Vihera, who was flushed with her statement, was somewhat dissatisfied, but the Rays opened the door without even looking like they cared about it... the next moment, I hold my nose unintentionally to that smell that smelled from inside the room.

What stinks from inside the room is the smell that irritates the tung and nose.

There are several potted plants in the room. Various things are painted around the pot, or equipped with what appears to be a magic item, and in many ways it is a bunch of monstrous plants in the pot, in such a way as plants that are also making it look like tentacles, or plants that emit green light around them, and plants that emit a stimulating odor that is spreading throughout the room.

Ray opens his mouth small, having guessed some of the plants in it from Zeppyre's knowledge or from the memories he read in the book.

"You're the guy who makes magic plants by using magic on certain plants.... I see."

In the meantime, Ray grumbles as he urges Nact to close the door, saying there won't be any particular clue here.

"Ray?"

To Vihera, who sees how it goes and asks strangely, Ray opens his mouth with his gaze to the next door… the door opposite the one he just closed.

"No, I was wondering if one of the reasons the Marchelles were collecting demonic stones, just like the Levisole family, was that room. Of course, I don't think I was consuming all the magic stones on that magic plant alone, but still, if I were to make that amount of plants into magic plants and maintain them, I'd need a lot of magic stones."

"Surely there were quite a few demon stones in that room."

"Mmm."

Nact shrugged as he quickly looked around the room for a short time when he opened the door, and Bühne nodded.

You should just call this neighborhood a bandit.

"Anyway, there was nothing in that room we needed. Next."

Everyone nods at the words and Nact gently reaches for the door where Ray's gaze was directed.
