Sanzen no Souru Supina

"There's a hidden door here."

It was Elektra who noticed the anomaly in the structure.

The location was right next to the statue of the lion, near the end of the aisle.

"Where? There's no seam?

"Touch it. The texture of the material has changed slightly.There are no locks or keyholes... but there is also a faint smell of water.It is the same as the fountain just now.Probably a passage to a hidden water facility.

"Hold on. Let's go through the Spindle."

That was the correct answer.

When Ashley touched the palm of the Spindle, a glowing green line ran, and there was a bang and the lock came off.

Don Pisha, Ashley.

"I'm glad it wasn't a trap."

"If we start setting traps on the hidden door, he's paranoid.It certainly seemed a little strange, but was this the castle of dragons?If you go that far, don't shake the Empty King.You think they're gonna do something like a little rich guy threatening a burglar?

Ashley thinks so too.

If this is the dragon's castle, I'm convinced they can't have the spirit to trap the intruder.

When I raised my face, Ele's red eyes and eyes contacted each other.

"What's wrong?

"No... I thought you had long eyelashes"

"No, what is it? Suddenly.Also, it's kind of close, Ele.Ah, it's hitting my elbow, and it's soft. "

"No, what? My Spindle smells really good.Somewhere like Izuma... she's fascinated.I suddenly became conscious. "

Ashlet felt that Ele's eyes were moist.

But I didn't have time to think deeply.

"That's close. Get away from me."

Dang, and Love breaks in between and gets his hands on the wall.

The more that momentum opened the hidden door, the more power it had on its flat side.

"Absolutely no alarm or gap."

It would have been perfect if I hadn't taken Ashley's arm.

Love won't let go of his hugged arms.

Somehow the opposite arm is held by Asuka.

I don't know what it is, but it seems like Ashley is having a strange time with them.

"Hey, guys, seriously.Now I can't hold a weapon or shield. "

When Ashley complained, the two beautiful princesses jumped out in a hurry as they realized what they were doing for the first time.

I wonder what happened to us... I think we both had wet eyes.



Is it because of your mind?

Ashley twisted his neck and followed behind the preceding elephant.

Ele was right about the hidden door.

The access route to the water mains hidden behind this palace, the door that leads to it.

The door was deliberately concealed by the side of the device that maintains the waterworks in the shade of the palace... that is, behind the scenes (backyard).

An enormous structure appearing in front of us for thousands of hours.

Ashley sighed before the majesty.

"What a huge space to hide...."

The water route, which was distributed by drawing a geometric pattern, was made by piercing polished crystals.

Pale light seems to be transmitted light.

Is the light coming through from somewhere?

Still, I can't believe this is a waterway.

My feet are made of pure white sand.

The pure white runs through the water path.

Ashlet feels as if walking on a crystal forest floor.

No, actually, this is a forest floor.

However, artificial.

Built by incredible wisdom and technology.

Ashley and the others walked on a waterway that looked like a street, and manipulated the gate that looked like it everywhere.

Nevertheless, the passage of water is open, and it is difficult to reach the core source of water.

Naturally, no drop of water is allowed to flow.

I knew I had to go to the source.I wonder how much distance we have left.I've been walking so far, Ked... I wonder if I'll be able to get home. "

"Don't worry. It's already tied to a door that uses Arakne's yarn for the entrance, a classic labyrinth strategy.The measures are complete. And.... "

Besides?

"When you go home, follow the flow of water.There must be an exit before the flow gets there.Sound and vibration guide me. "

I see, and Ashley was impressed by Ele's teachings.

It is an earthspider that inhabits a complex underground world.

The wisdom and skill of the Labyrinth could not have made man an enemy.

The Arakne thread, which is not tangled and cannot be cut, was taken from the name of the beautiful princess: Araknephtis, who appears in their legend of earthspiders.

At the time of the mystery, the princess gave the hero a thread connecting her fingers to the underground world and helped her return safely.

I heard that the curse of love that connects this thread to a lover's pinky finger is the culture that came from it.

Regardless of whether the legend is true or not, this kind of sharp tool really helps in these situations.

If I had to deal with these small items, there would be no rival species in the Earthspider.

Ele was incorporated into this squadron on Izma's recommendation, and I once again thought that she was right from the list.

Well, let's forget about that... racial problem.

"Still, why don't you take a little break?I knew it would be a lot bigger than that, but I didn't think it was this big. "

Continuing, Ele suggested.

I think Ashley is right.

I spent a lot of time here.

I communicated with Athlei using the precautionary story just before proceeding to the back of the hidden door.

From then on, I would have been walking close to this for a moment.

"We're moving on alert.I didn't walk that far if I fixed it to a straight line, but I think it's time for a break.When it's time to go, you can't talk if you're out of breath. "

"That's right. I also have lunch from Athlei.Use the terrain in the columns to lay the cloth and secure a place to rest. "

"Leave it to me, I'll set up a tent."

Quickly, Ele built a tent in no time.

The flat, short tent is unique to the clandestine spider family and has the effect of making it difficult to spot the base from the enemy's eyes and minimizing the impact of the wind.

Still, it was devised to allow enough space for four adults to dive in and sleep.

"I used it during the trumpet attack, but it's a useful thing, the earthspider tent.It is difficult to leave traces because it can be glued with threads to walls, stones or trunks of wood, so it is not necessary to choose the installation location or to drill holes.And it's much more comfortable than it looks. "

"Whether or not you can build a good nest is one of the statuses of an earthspider, male or female.Even in the human world, it is similar to having a daughter who is good at weaving with a lot of pullers.Well, I'm better at nesting than the Bethelion family, but my sister: Elma or Isma. "

Indeed, Elena's nest, built from the remains of the gallery, was a splendid one.

Made of empty fabric, it is beautifully harmonious with the light of this pale blue labyrinth.

It is a mystery why the wreckage of huge pillars has been left all over the water facility, but it is another matter.

"Yes, this is brilliant."

Ashley was whispering.

Ele laughs at me.

"Fufufu, do you remember how to do it?From here on out, this knowledge and technology of survival becomes important when you lead a battle team.If you don't intend to enlist and plunder the human race like a true knight's maiden rides, it's important to train yourself to do all kinds of things. "

There is a problem with some expressions, but Ashley thought Ele was right.

This water exploration has already been carried out.

Maintaining an army during expeditions to enemy locations and long range incursions is a technique that avoids wear and tear in situations other than combat.

At the individual level, it is the ability to set up simple accommodation, to accurately see the terrain, or to procure food more directly.

Of course, it was included in the basic upbringing of the Knight of the Etruscans (Paladins) of Extram, to which Ashley belonged in the past.

But the role of the Paladin is heavier than that of interrogation and direct combat.

The preparation of the knight's meal and sleeping quarters is in the first place up to the Servant.

Ashley wasn't bad at cooking either, but once upon a time Servant: Eunice or Athlei, who now handles everything about the team's meals, I wasn't as confident.

Izma and Ele are no exception to outdoor survival, and Burton and Norman are no exception.

"This is a good opportunity. Can I tell you what to do?

You must have seen Ashley seriously considering it.

Ele suggested it to me.

Please, I would have answered immediately and honestly if it were a regular Ashley.

I didn't do it because I was too close to Ele.

Specifically, she was hugged from behind.

"No, that elephant?!I don't know, it's kind of weird how far I feel today!

"Nfu, is that so?As far as I'm concerned, it's just an innocent skinship with my brother.

No, not at all, Ashley thought.

The glossy breath on my neck felt nothing but a sticky intent.

Before we left, Ashley was worried about Ele's costume, so he was teasing me.

"Anyway, stay away!Get away from me. Ahhhhh!

"Hmm, I can't connect you, brother."

Ashley pulled off the elephant easily.

Because there was Love with his arms braced in front of him and Asuka standing behind him who could swim his gaze into the air.
