156 Library dungeon ④

It's like worrying about senpai, and worrying about the radio waves of a smartphone in a luxury hotel in Tokyo.

I see that senpai is stronger than anyone else here. Originally, he would have been not much different from the vice chairman and Mr. Ziyuan at the moment. But senpai got some useful skills in various dungeons with us. Well, I'll lose my head.

The light soldier came out a little, and I couldn't pierce the gap between senpai, and the angel with the spear in front of me was nothing compared to senpai.

That's why you were the first to defeat an angel with a weapon. The angel of the spear that hadn't responded to her sword immediately disappeared.

After the defeat, it seemed that the senpai was following IO.

However, it seemed that the angels were basically entrusted to IO or only to attack the Light Soldiers.

Katrina flirted with angels at her own pace, Io attacked, Rudy supported with magic, and the disturbing soldiers of light were suppressed by seniors and Vice Chairman Franc.

It's only a matter of time before we defeat them.

Haa!

Io swung down his sword with his voice. Shields were bounced off balance and crushed by Rudy's storm hammer.

Soon, Io was finished with an angel who couldn't move.

After defeating the angels, it didn't take long to wipe out the Light Soldiers. However, when I defeated the last monster, the book I summoned lost its light and returned to the bookshelf, something strange happened to the room at the same time.

"Haha!?" N-no, n-no, is this it? "

The magic circle rose and the bookshelf moved. And the things we didn't have before were summoned, and we put up our weapons and we were on alert.

I was summoned by a Stone Statue. They all had books in their hands, each standing to make a△ (triangle) with their backs turned.

The book also falls in the center of the stone statue standing on the triangle.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is just a stone statue. It won't move."

If you say so, we'll drop our weapons.

"There's probably no trap..."

Katrina, who was examining the stone statue, said that, and took the book in the center of the triangle.

"What is this book?"

That said, Yuka slaps a book with her fist. Made of leather hardcover is good. After checking the whole book, she opened it.

Ancient language.

Katrina mutters when she sees the letter.

"It's like an ancient language inside." Can you read the franc? "

Mr. Ziyuan, who was looking into it, turned to Vice Chairman Franc.

"I can barely read because I haven't studied enough. If Anemone Daiso were here....."

Anemone would have read it as soon as she was here. I don't have her this time, though.

"Well, there's a nagomi here." Na-mi? "

I'll take care of it.

Nanami, who was watching the book, reports to me.

It looks like the title is "Past Books."

Naomi receives a book from a flower and opens it with a perla-pera. I wonder if I'm reading it, but I don't say anything, and I turn to go further.

It's just that there was a string of things that we didn't really understand, but there was something on one of the pages that was familiar.

Io raised his voice when he saw it.

However, all you have to do is say, "I see." At last, he closed the book.

Na-mi, what did it say?

"If you ask me... yes." The diary, no... is it a fantasy novel? "

"Delusional novel?"

"For example... Master, with the strongest setting you've ever considered, if you saved a carriage that was chased by a bandit, the princess would come out from the inside and fall in love with it, and eventually you would make a harem and flirt with a wild girl maid, right?"

Let's be a novel, shall we?

“Bad analogy. Make it more concise and more likely.”

Well then, with the strongest setting you've ever thought of, you've had an indifferent delusion.

"Why do you say that with certainty? Well, you did or didn't do it."

A public execution in Black History? The second year of junior high is the peak of everyone's life.

"It's something like that, something like the best dungeon setting I've ever thought of. A dungeon like this can be interesting, beautiful, etc.”

When I borrowed a book from Io Hanami, I opened the page that spoke up earlier.

What's depicted here is the soldier of light we were defeating earlier, right?

The page that opened was depicted by the soldier of light earlier.

"It also shows gargoyles." Could this be..... "

"Yes, Mr. Io, you're right, Mr. Rudy. The journey to this point is consistent with the information written here." So were the appearing monsters. Dear IO, would you please turn two sheets from the last page? "

It depicted angels with the weapons they had fought earlier.

"Well, that doesn't mean that the information about the monsters that appear in this dungeon is written here." Isn't the monster ahead...? "

It seems unlikely.

Vice Chairman Franco turns over the book that IO has. There are only two more pages until the last page.

"I see, there is no information related to monsters." However, there are written instructions on how to proceed from this place. I don't know the truth. "

"Wow, isn't that a trap?"

Konohana said that with a frown on her face.

But I don't see any other way forward.

Rudy looked around and said so. The area is full of bookshelves, and the only road is the one that came.

Anyway, how do I get ahead of myself?

"When the magic circle is activated by inserting the book with the stone statue in a fixed place....."

With the words of Naomi, our gaze goes to the three angel statues and the book in their hands.

"Where are you going to plug in?"

It was Vice Chairman Franc who answered Katrina's question.

"Please take a good look around. I think there's a lot of them in this place.”

We stare around.

"Haha, I thought it was impossible, but isn't it impossible?"

"No way, you can't be such a fool to treat such a large place gradually?"

Everyone's gaze is fragmented, but what they see is the same.

This dungeon is inspired by the library. Therefore, all the walls were bookshelves.

Even if we split up, it's a bone-breaking task.

But do we have to do it one by one?

No, it's not. The stone statue is actually pointing to the place.

Also, as you can easily see in the game,! (Surprise mark) It was even shown. You should be able to move on by inserting a book in there.

"Maybe this placement is with the game..."

Why is this statue pointing in three directions?

When I say it, the flower reacts.

I think it's okay if we're facing each other.

I don't know if I can move it, but does it have something to do with my gaze?

and a stone statue. The statue was as cold as ice.

"Does gaze have anything to do with it?" Would you like to take a look? "

Then, Konohana rushed to the bookshelf ahead of one of her gaze.

"There it is, there it is, right?" There was a gap where one book could be inserted! "

and happy to report the flowers. Soon everyone will gather to see where it is.

"It's definitely free... and the books around here don't move like they're glued to each other."

"There's definitely something wrong." Even so, is there anything depicted in the book itself? "

Rudy tried to get the book open, but it didn't.

”None, I'll lend it to you... mmm, it won't open”

Next time, I tried Ziyuan-san and Konohana as well.

It's just a dungeon gimmick, right?

"Give me a hand."

Katrina, who received the book, looks closely at it.

"It may be my imagination, but I feel some power." But I don't know any more. "

Katrina with a regretful expression. If you're struggling with your bandit skills, you might want to recommend a teasing castle or dungeon later.

I can't do everything I can, can I?

and seniors put their strength into it. But I still can't open the book.

Senpai, can you put some magic power into the book?

and senpai were able to apply magic power, but nothing happened at that time.

"I don't know what to do... everyone, back off!"

While talking like that, a book floats up slowly in the light. Then, with your voice, everyone stepped back and took their weapons into a vigilant position.

The book opens on its own, and something like a hologram rises up there.

What the hell?

It looks like a four-legged beast. Everyone was wary of the appearance of monsters, but nothing more. Eventually, the hologram-like object fogs and the book closes.

I tried it again, but it was the same result, so I decided to plug the book in.

"Something might happen, so be careful."

I asked Katrina and Nanami to check the trap, and Senpai pushed it in. Everyone was alert, but there seemed to be no trap.

"The transfer magic circle...!?"

Vice Chairman Franco, who was standing near the magic circle, reported the movement. She repositioned her glasses and stared at the magic circle with interest.

"The magic circle is beginning to shine." You can now move around, but... the shine is small "

According to her, the magic circle glowed weakly. To see the unreliable blue light, you can only transfer it.

At most, it's the five of us.

"It's the same as the limit of the usual dungeons." We need to figure out a way to get everyone together. "

Ziyuan-san and Io looked at the magic circle and said so.

"Then why don't you plug in another book?" Look, there are two other books. "

Konohana's words were gazed upon by a book that everyone had a stone statue.

Let's go ahead of the Stone Statue.

I pushed Katrina to the book.

Remove the book from the stone statue and go to the end of the line of sight. We found a place for the book to plug in quickly, but we didn't.

It looks like the light will go out when two books are inserted.

While keeping his glasses down, Vice Chairman Franco raised his voice as if he was a little discouraged.

So what happens if I unplug the first book and plug in another book?

As soon as Konohana said so, Katrina plugged the book in.

The magic circle has turned red.

That's what Rudy reports to me. And then I said, "Well, what about the other one? 'It is inevitable, and I will try the combination immediately.

After all, the color of the magic circle changes depending on the book you put up.

It looks like the coordinates set for the magic circle have changed, not just the color.

"You're right, Master Rudy." These gimmicks are common in dungeons. ”

When I heard Nanami's words, Vice Chairman Franc nodded.

"I've seen similar tricks before the first year of school. It wasn't a book, but when you activated the trick, the place where you could go changed... there was certainly Ziyuan and Snow Sound, right?"

"Oh, I remember. At that time, there was no limit to the number of people, so we all took all the routes. But this time...."

Ziyuan nodded to your words.

"I see. We have to follow separate routes." That's not what I meant. "
