188. This smell...

Then a while later I remembered the man I had shot earlier and looked for where he was. Then I found it hanging on the wall. I turned to the man to hear what that man did in front of Yua and what he was doing here.

I'm going to get close to the man I fought earlier, but I didn't notice anything coming this way. I wonder if you're even asking about this one? I approached him carefully with that in mind, but there was no sign of movement, and I confirmed about the man nearby, but apparently he was losing his mind. I checked about the man with a little relief to see if he woke up, but his surroundings were stained red with a lot of blood.

"... Was it a little too much?

I made a terrible determination as to whether I was alive just in case I thought about it. For once, I think I'm alive because I have a pulse, but there was still a spot where the blood was flowing, so I recovered the dagger and the knife, and then burned the wound with fire.

"Ugh..."

Then I heard a groan from the man's mouth, so I was alert to not waking up but there was no sign of waking up. When I was a little relieved that I didn't wake up, the smell of the meat burning drifted around.

"Hmm?"

I know it smells because I burned the wound to stop the bleeding now, but I noticed a mixture of odors in it. I haven't noticed a cup about Youre before, but what's this exciting smell? With that in mind, I wondered where it was drifting from, and when I looked for a place with a strong smell, I smelled the smell from the bookshelf on the corner of the room.

"... pah, it's just a bookshelf, right?

I looked for any suspicious places with that in mind, but there was nothing suspicious about saying this.

"Uh-huh. But I think it's from around here, so I think there's some kind of trick..."

I pushed the shelf with that in mind. First I pushed it from the front, but no sign of this shelf moving. Now I pushed it from the side. Then he made a noise of 'chatter' and moved straight to the back.

"Ho, I didn't know it would really work..."

The door came out from behind the shelf, a little surprised by that.

"Maybe there's a cause for the smell ahead..."

With that in mind, I never opened my hand to the door, and there appeared a staircase leading to the basement.

"Oh, it's dark."

That's what I thought. I tried to put out a fire, but if I put out a fire where it's not too windy, the air might fade. I thought so and my surroundings lit up like I should try light magic.

"This could be convenient"

Slowly descend the stairs with that in mind. The smell grew a little tighter, but there was a door at the end of the stairs.

"This time."

I thought so and opened the door.
