- Number 15, come in.

One of the blackheads, transversely, indicated the back of the thick metal door with his jaw.

"... what about this heya?

I ask, but Blackcrumb doesn't make it faint as if he didn't hear my question.

However, I turn my attention to the gazaine behind me.

"Don't worry. I'm not locked up in a cell."

"... No, I don't know what to do."

The room was in the back of a stone room deep underground.

It's about four and a half tatami in size, but no windows, only the ceiling is slightly higher.

At the top of the ceiling, there is a light removal hole with an iron lattice, but calling that a window would be painful.

Others, if you look closely, have round holes all over the wall, but their size is such that adult grips don't fit in.

Though there are many doubts, that room of robust stone construction is normally considered a solitary confinement.

It's like keeping a murderer or a political prisoner locked up.

"What, Scared to Notice," "Hernfang" Baby Scarlet ""

"... you just have to be there"

When I entered the cell, the guide door was shut and the door was shut from outside.

"... Melvi, are you there?

"I'm here. Don't worry."

A little anxious to ask, Melvi answered and stroked my head as she disappeared.

That's everyone's sister.

- Five days have passed since I was abducted from Viscount Culée's residence in the city of Phono.

In the meantime, I was surrounded by the chief and other shady black-crushed armies, watched, and walked down a roadless path in the woods.

Sometimes I tried to pretend I was tired and take a break and check my current position, but the route of travel was twisted and bent and blindfolded in an important place, so I can only tell that it seems to be vaguely going west from the city of Phono.

Most importantly, Melvi, who is hiding by my side, is invisible to all the wicked executives, so he should be able to see his surroundings without being blindfolded.

Nevertheless, it seems that Melvi has never been too far from that fairy town, so it would be suspicious to know where he is currently.

But having Melvi means, at the very least, we can use the gate to fly to that fairy home.

That was giving me some room in my spirit.

Now, in the course of five days, I went through the woods, proceeded through the wilderness, down the valley, and arrived at a place like a crevasse between the cliffs.

It took five days, probably because I, a child under the age of one, demanded a break every once in a while, and because I had deliberately overlaid my roundabout to hide the path to this place.

The blackheads jump off the crevasse without any gear.

When the chief gazein,

"- Do you want someone to carry you?

I've heard that, but I ignored that question and let myself leap into the hole.

He wrote "Physique" in the air, descended slowly, and landed with a wink on the child's black scuff that rounded his eyes.

Beneath the crevasse was a space about the size of a gymnasium in a previous life.

At its end, a trolley with a metal seesaw is placed.

I thought something, but when I stared, there was a rail under the trolley.

I mean, this is that one.

You're a trolley that goes by alternating up and down the seesaw.

Next to that trolley was a cleverly hidden little hole.

Towards that hole, one of the blackheads meets the knife with the knife in a constant rhythm.

Goto Goto Goto......

There was a dull noise coming from afar.

- Get in.

and Gazein.

I ride a trolley, not sure.

The trolley was ridden by two other black scumbags, me and Gazein.

Two blackheads alternately raise and lower the seesaw to run the trolley.

"Whoa."

"Hmm... are you a kid here"

Gazein poisoned me when I was touched with vegetables.

The trolley, passing several branches along the way, still arrived in a space about the size of a gym.

I noticed when I passed the branch, but the knife signal earlier was probably a signal to switch branches.

If we don't do that, we'll go somewhere else, or if it's bad, maybe we can even make him dive into a big hole with his mouth open somewhere.

Unlike the previous space, this space was lined with several metal doors.

When I do it in the middle, there is a small door that looks sturdy, a long way from its left and right, and a normal-sized door.

The normal size one is open, with a glance at the stairs behind it.

I was taken in front of the door in the middle - to the beginning.

"Hey...... hey!

Am I in a cell? I would call from within, but I had no voice to answer that.

"What do you want..."

I couldn't help it, so I sat down in the middle of my cell.

It was dark in the corner, and I didn't know what it was.

... No, if it's dark, should I brighten it up?

"Xu (light)"

Generate a light, and I'll observe inside the cell.

but when I do, I can only tell that it's a space in a beautifully shredded stone.

Is the hole all over the wall an air hole?

I feel like there's a lot of them.

As I pulled the lights closer to the wall,

"… ∃ (Illays)"

I heard voices coming out of the hole in the wall and my lights were wiped out.

In the dark fallen cell again,

"I see... Was it Densen (voice tube)"

I snorted like one convinced me.

"Hey, you're listening. Why are you doing this?

After all, there was no answer.

I've waited a few minutes, but there's no sign of anything happening.

"… So what do we do?

I say one thing at a time, think.

- And,

"... do you want to improve your skills"

If he doesn't do anything over there, he just has to wait.

I decided to reopen it and work on my skills.

There are a few candidates for what you want to do.

First of all, it's a classic, maximum MP raise, but it's rejected because I don't feel like passing out in this situation.

Next, improve your [listening ear] skills.

Actually, I've already done it, but this room seems to have so thick walls that I can barely hear the sound across the wall.

Then I also want to gain the [Night's Day] skills Gazein had.

It was just dark, so I've been careful since just now and try to stare, but I haven't gotten to the acquisition yet.

In addition, I have not yet been able to train to "hear the voice of the Spirit" in order to master [Spirit Magic].

In short, even if you're trapped in a dark, small room, there's countless things to do and you're not going to just be bored.

If you really seem to be trapped here all the time, you can ask Melvi to open the gate to Fairy Township and take it to the release of the stripping junction that traps the original elf.

Most of the time, you're under surveillance, so you can't just disappear.

- And then what a half day or so, nothing happened.

As far as I'm concerned, I wish I'd been glad to get some cohesive time to improve my skills, but I don't know what it means to have nothing so far.

Speaking of which, it's time to get hungry.

This one, too, isn't so chopped feathers because if you ask Melvi, you'll be able to share the nuts and fruits Melvi is snacking on.

But if I were a normal kid, I'd be right around the time I cried for you to let me out.

If I had thought of that, abruptly, I would have heard a voice.

'- Remember... when was the first time you sinned?

"............ what?

All of a sudden, I shouted.

'- Remember... when was the first time you sinned?

Words are repeated.

"No, so even if they say that all of a sudden..."

'- Remember... when was the first time you sinned?

I don't respond to this voice, and my voice forcefully repeats that line.

"Why would you do that?

'- Remember... when was the first time you sinned?

"I can't stay here anymore. Give me the mesh."

'- Remember... when was the first time you sinned?

"Then let me go to the bathroom. I've been wanting to do this for a long time."

'- Remember... when was the first time you sinned?

"You're persistent, too. I mean, what the hell are you?

"- I am a ghost. Remember... when was the first time you sinned?

Oh, you've just changed a little.

I've heard a lot about it since, but it was only at this time that the answers changed.

At this time, I wasn't expecting it.

- That I will be dating this self-proclaimed ghost for the next two weeks.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

- Since then, it's been a week.

"- Remember (abbreviated below)"

I was trying to hear the Spirit, ignoring the lines that were repeated.

Melvi says flying beside me.

"If it were here, the Spirit of the earth would be nice.

The voice of the Spirit of the earth varies so much from time to time and from place to place, but there are so many stones here that it sounds like different types of minerals crashing into each other.

The channel of consciousness is to be very low.

Well, some ore spirits exist in very high channels. "

This one called "Channel," but I'm not quite sure.

"- Remember (abbreviated below)"

Even if I asked Melvi softly so the people outside wouldn't notice,

"That's all I'm saying. I know fairies are born, so I can't explain them well."

And it was a reply that I can't even guess.

"I mean, if I could lurk my voice enough, why don't I just remember [reading]?

I remember, so we should be able to talk in two directions. "

"Did you have that hand?"

"- Remember (abbreviated below)"

From there, it became a [reading] classroom by Dr. Melvi.

"Okay? Look at me. So align the wavelength with my magic. I am made of magic, so it must be easy to understand."

I watched.

I just stared at it.

Would it have been an hour or so?

I kind of figured out what Melvi meant by "wavelength".

"Yes, that's it! Then don't miss that wavelength, take your time."

"Like this? Oh, I did..."

"- Remember (abbreviated below)"

Then I busted into practice for another three hours or so and finally, I was able to keep track of the "wavelength" for a while.

The feeling of getting stuck is just a little bit, but I see.

"Something's going on with me. I'm more tired.

Oh, do you want some nuts?

"Yeah."

I get nuts from Melvi that resemble tuna and eat.

The crust cracks and the sweet juice overflows from inside.

Yeah, yum.

"- Remember (abbreviated below)"

I fell asleep when Melvi said I was tired.

Speaking of which, it may already be night outside.

Shall I improve my skills [at night]?

No, it's not weird to sleep at night.

Or rather strange if I don't let him sleep somewhere.

Shall I raise my MP while I pretend to be asleep?

"- Remember (abbreviated below)"

That's how we spend the night, and when Melvi wakes up, we practice [talking] again.

It took me half a day to finally grasp the feeling of tugging.

Melvi's voice is starting to sound uninterrupted.

Looks like you'll be able to master it in a little while.

"- Remember (abbreviated below)"

It was some time after Melvi snapped, "It's time for lunch."

The bottom of the cell door was pulled out with a bump, and instead a tray with a meal came in.

The menu is just bread and thin soup.

I'll be done eating soon.

Placing the tray under the door, it was immediately lowered.

Looks like he's been watching you pretty well.

"- Remember (abbreviated below)"

Heaven's voice remained the same during the rice.

When this happens, I also know what "ghost" and his intentions are.

It would be the soul dare to lock the child in a dark, narrow place to frighten him, not to take his meal as much as possible, not to interrupt him with his voice to sleep, and to brainwash him where he was weak.

So this doesn't end without pretending to be brainwashed?

There are a lot of skills I'd like to raise, and I can stay like this for a while.

By the way, if you're in the bathroom, it's a way to head for a dedicated hole in the corner of your cell.

I don't like the smell if it stays, so I used π (aqua) to flush it, but I just never put ∃ (ilease) on it until then.

I mean, would a wizard who can use ∃ (Illays) also be standing by outside this cell all the time?

Totally hard work.

...... hmm? Looks like you could use this to improve your skills, too.
