"After defeating the Demon King, the castle began to collapse!" The ticking narration of ▽"RPG" fills my brain.

But when I finished my ears, I didn't hear the sound of collapse.

I borrowed the bone from the tail of "Meteor" while apologizing "Excuse me for a moment" and tried to approach the boundary of the room, and the line glowed light blue.

It's still working, isn't it?

"There must be some filled ones." Whatever you did, it helped... but your favorite "death flag" was about to rise. "

It looks a bit grumpy. I suddenly turned to the day after tomorrow, whistling, but I was suddenly decorated.

"Excuse me..." I apologize and hold my forehead.

The reaction of the barrier means that you can't even bring out the bones of the "meteor" and mourn them.

When I put the bone back together and I wanted to get it out of here one day, Abel said, "I can do it."

That's what I look up at him.

If we crush these bastards from one end, there will come a day when we can enter this labyrinth with dignity.

"Wow..."

It's a word that people would be guilty of if they heard it.

However, I was also of the same opinion.

"You can't allow inhumane deeds such as immortality." I want to do something about it. ”

"Ahh..."

Abel nodded firmly, but before we tried to leave the room and enter together, we looked back and looked at the "meteor" and shut up.

Somewhat uneasy, dark gaze.

If you were enthusiastic earlier, you probably don't think it's your future.

What's the matter?

"No....... hey, you......"

Say something and stop.

Encouraged by her gaze, she waited impatiently, and Abel made a thoughtful face.

If there was a power source for any sorcery, any kind of magic...

What if I do?

"... no."

It's nothing. Mr. Abel walks out.

Even if I asked what was wrong with it, it was a hard expression.

Pulling his sleeve back, he finally stops.

"Mr. Abel? Tell me if there's anything that bothers you."

"No, I can't. I'm sorry to say it, but I can't."

Abel shook his head and looked more irresistible than he wanted to tell.

Looking up and wondering why she looked like that, Abel became more and more miserable.

And then she muttered to herself, "Just one thing.

Only people I know have a catastrophe that will happen to them.

Just people you know?

Is that a condition?

"Yes, you shouldn't have said that, because if it's true, you shouldn't even know that there's a secret."...... I know you'll get there eventually, but I don't want you to feel unwanted misfortune. "

It's mysterious. But I understand you're worried about something.

Is that a disaster that you can't solve even if you have a Tarot?

"I don't know... I don't know the whole story anyway. But I am certain that it is beyond human wisdom."

This is the end of the story, let's finish it.

I'm sorry to hear that, but I can't go any further.

I had no choice but to nod.

A catastrophe that affects only people I── know.

The more I'm told, the more I want to know.

I don't know why Mr. Abel found out about it or what happened to him because he doesn't tell me.

But there's only one thing I can tell... I'm sure it's involved in the "hill incident."

Abel still doesn't tell us why the incident happened, or what happened and many people died.

"I can see various hallucinations, and when the magic rampage ended, they were all dead."

I didn't feel like I couldn't say it because I was backward.

It shows that an unspeakable disaster took place there.

The narrow aisle ended as I walked around worrying about what the disaster was.

Enter the open space all at once.

What is this?

A lot, again.

I lost a few words in the sight.

The high ceilings and dozens of meters wide spaces show up.

And ──it was an underground lake so dark and so vast that I couldn't see it.

If you summon the flying gear, you'll be able to cross it, but well, it won't be that easy.

I think so.

We don't have any flying gear on us right now.

With the power of the "lover" tarot, I am able to connect with the place where I am in my room and transfer it freely, so I send it back when I don't need it.

I could always summon it and fly, but I didn't think I could clear it with my steps.

"I thought, but this isn't the basement of the Imperial Castle, is it?"

"Yeah. It's too big... I think it's been diverted by that waterway."

I don't know if I ran some kind of trick while running away from the water, or if the water itself was enchanted, but it must have flown somewhere at that timing.

I don't know why you wanted to create such a labyrinth, but in any case, it is terrifying that we have firmly incorporated the "transfer of the human body" that we have not been able to develop yet.

After all, magic flourished in the ancient Empire.

When you approach the lake, the water is so clear that it's scary.

But he could not see any plant or creature, and his goosebumps stood against the unnatural.

The pebbles at my feet didn't melt, but the stones that sank into the dark water without any sound and disappeared were all stirring up anxiety.

There it is.

When Abel called out to me, I turned around, and there was a promised tablet next to the passageway that I had entered.

It says, "Conquer your dreams, and take the crown at the end of your journey."

"Conquer your dreams?"

It was a mystery again.

"Dreaming" is an important element in occult culture, so I can think of some.

Predictive dreams, fortune telling dreams, real dreams, shared dreams... There are no examples of mysterious phenomena related to dreams.

But what was the "journey" and "crown" that followed?

Abel nodded, “This is easy.”

"Eh, did you figure out what to do?"

“If this represents a tarot that should be used, then there is only one.”

Abel took out a card from his pocket.

Then, when a small amount of magic power was poured, the card glowed to indicate the correct answer.

"Expand (Spread)", positive position.── “Interpretation (reading)”

That's why Abel activated the...... "Fool" Tarot.

I am convinced by what I have been told.

The Tarot of the Fools is a fun young card with a picture of a young man on his journey.

Therefore, its meaning also means "the beginning of the journey", "freedom", "dream", etc.

I thought about it because it was occult mania, but it was a simple answer.

As the cards melted into space, they soon sounded.

The surface of the water that didn't have a single wave began to sway faintly, and there was a sound of "kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Alert, he exchanged gazes with Abel-san.

Less than a minute later, the identity of the sound appeared.

"Ship...?"

A small boat emerged from beyond the dark lake.

On top of that is a bow with a deep hood.

The only thing that holds the ship's oars is the bones... not the people.

We did not mind, but the head of the boat laid the boat on the water.

Only the sound of the ship swaying in a quiet space can be heard.

"Wow..."

"Get in, I guess..."

I don't want to ride hard. The atmosphere is completely Mitsukawa.

But there's no way you won't get on it.

Without looking at the ship's forehead, the hood was facing the void with the hood at the depth of the eye.

The mouth I could see was a skeleton after all.

As I boarded the terrified ship, I murmured one thing I remembered.

"Now you know the word 'traveling'."... I had a dream about another keyword that seemed important, but I have one that comes to mind. ”

What?

"... have you ever heard the word astral travel?"

I wondered if that was the case with Mr. Abel, who shook his head to the side.

Astral travel, or astral irradiation.

Because it's an occult term from a previous life.

Astral refers to the soul, to put it bluntly.

Although it is a spirit, it does not have the so-called ghostly meaning.

It seems to mean the spiritual nucleus or essence of the human being.

And in the astral world, the memories of various things are said to remain without being permanently extinguished.

In other words, astral travel is basically an attempt to see the truth of the world through the eyes of the soul, or to meet the memories of the world that remain in the astral world.

I hadn't even tried it in my previous life, and I didn't think I could do it.

"In other words, where does this ship go..."

Abel's body tilted when he heard── me.

"Knock...!?"

"Abel, ah, ah..."

Mr. Abel slips over to the side of the ship.

I was surprised when I reached out to him, and I was struck by intense drowsiness.

Abel-san was able to protect her, but she lost her strength while looking at her miserable face.

Each of them will be incapacitated without a second thought.

In my dizzying sight, I could only see that the bow slowly set sail towards the cold darkness.
