Shadow Brave's Readventure - Re-Tale of the Brave

A village called Orrim in the country of Luxerion. Having undertaken a crusade mission for a herd of demons who visited such a village twenty years ago, Kite had managed to reach the former village chief's house in the village centre where he thought there was a connection. Reaching such a former village chief's house, Kate was beginning to look for a hidden room with demonic stones that, along with both Laurent and Alice, presided over the control of the junction.

"Hmm..."

In the larger library for the former village chief's residence, Kite was investigating if anything had changed. Hidden rooms are still not something to be found quickly.

It is not a place of good security such as the Empire or the Patriarchate, but in the past, in insecure places, bandits and insiders deliberately de-linked and guided bandit raids. Therefore, the demonic stones that inevitably control the junction were set up in the basement of buildings that are the center of villages such as village chiefs' houses and churches.

"If you want to install it, it should be here..."

I guess it's because I'm still a lord. Essentially, the blueprints of village chiefs' houses everywhere have been brought to Kite's place, and the authorization has also been granted. This is because the village chief's residence is also a public institution of some kind, and therefore requires the permission of the lord when renovating or altering it.

Tina had instructed it to have some uniform design because it would be difficult to have a structure that was magically problematic. Therefore, with that combination, Kite also grasped some theory so that there were no structural deficiencies, and knew where to install it roughly. And that's why Alice asked Kite looking for a hidden room.

"... in the middle, is it?

"Oh. Basically if the hidden room...... no, in this case the demonic stone that controls the junction? If you want to install it, install a staircase leading to the hidden room in the middle of the room."

"Isn't it easier to install stairs by the wall?

Alice asks as she leans her neck against Kate's words. After all, when it comes to hidden doors, it is her imagination that the bookshelves themselves act as doors. I guess that's why I thought so.

"No, this time it's a staircase to the basement. This is why it's surprisingly easy to install it under a bookshelf with some space on both sides. This is a big library, and it's more likely to be in the center."

"Really?

"Oh...... right. Alice. Have you been to the Satellite City Light City of the Temple City?

"Ah, yes. I was just at the Harvest Festival in the Temple City... in search of a library of church history books."

Alice nodded one at Kate's inquiry. Eight satellite cities in the Temple City. In some of them, Alice was visiting. The reason for this is, as she said, to learn about the history of Luxerio.

After all, it was interesting to know what kind of history her religion had followed in other countries. Fortunately, the satellite city is about an hour away by carriage. I also have regular flights. Furthermore, Alice was apparently given by the school in the form of assignments from the point of view of her studies, and Kate, who was asked by Alice - rather than Rufaus, who wasn't up to her plans - was also visiting once with her.

"You remember the Grand Library?

"Yes."

"There's actually a hidden staircase in the middle of the big library that leads to the hidden room. To this point, the large library is not commensurate with the village chief's house. Then I assumed the size of this library was for that reason."

"Heh..."

You know a lot of things. Alice nodded like she was impressed with Kate's words. And, well, that's how it seems. I thought it was a big library for a village chief's house. I thought Kate was using this floor to amplify connections throughout the city.

If Tina could free the demon eye, I would have found out in one shot, but I couldn't use the demon eye, so I just had to check into the tunnel. And that's why they were looking inside the library, but suddenly Kate held Alice. That was just where I tried to get into another passage.

"Eh."

"Shit."

What do you do? Against Alice, who tried to ask that, Kate immediately puts her hand on her mouth to stop it.

(Don't speak up. Keep your ears clear)

……

Alice also lurks her breath and clears her ears to the words of Kate, who spoke in a spiritual connection via Sonya. Then I could understand why Kate held herself.

(Sound... something... moving?

(Oh... I thought it was suspicious... but wouldn't it be so convenient for boulders)

Apparently, there was a demon in the library. Fortunately, I didn't seem to notice this one, but I could hear him wandering down the aisle.

(Alice, there may be others. quietly)

(Yes...... what do you do?

(As far as the sound is heard, the number is three. I'll finish them both at the same time. You're the one who's gonna finish this. As far as the signs are concerned, you're about as cluttered as a single blow. Terminate with an ambush from above. Keep holding him)

(Yes)

Alice nodded silently at Kate's instructions. As such, Kate moves quietly over the bookshelf cleverly manipulating the Demon Thread. As a result, the two landed without sound on the bookshelf, confirming the herd of demons who were on the opposite side of the bookshelf.

(Three zombies... they're all falling apart)

(What do you do? I'm not going to be able to defeat you at the same time......)

(There is no problem. Kill at the same time...... Alice. The whole thing at that end. You see?)

Apparently, the trinity noticed Alice's slight appearance. It was a slow move, but it looked like it was headed that way. It also looks like the other one is headed from the opposite side to the passage where they were. The rest of it remained intact.

(Yes)

(Ask for that one. I'll do the two over here)

(... ok)

(Good...... timing it)

Kite quietly moves over the bookshelf, approaching the zombie-shaped demon who was checking the aisle from those who were trying to get themselves out. That's how when she got to the placement, Kate started counting down.

(3…… 2…… 1… now)

At the same time as Kite's signal, he protrudes the sword Alice was pulling out of the top of the bookshelf at the same time deep near the clavicle of a zombie-shaped demon. That's how Kate stepped down into the middle of the two remaining just as she sidelined herself pouring the power of the exorcism directly inward.

"Ha."

It's a landed kite, but he throws a disposable knife toward the left and right two at the same time as landing. That knife pattern was intertwined with his demonic thread.

At the same time a disposable knife thrown like that pierced a zombie-shaped demon. The power of the exorcism was poured through the demonic thread towards the zombie-shaped demon, raising the white flame and burning out without sound.

"Phew..."

"Wow... how did you do that?

"I just used the Demon Thread. Alice now would be more than enough."

Kite briefly explains the principle for Alice, who recovered the disposable knife that was just on the road.

"Oh, good. Disposable anyway. You use it."

"Ha..."

Alice tried to return it to Kite, but I will thank her for her words. Certainly disposable. It's less than a single piece of silver coin as a cost, and if you're an adventurer in as many realms as Kite, I guess you don't even care where I gave you one or two. Therefore, Alice would like to thank you. And that's where Laurent contacted me.

"Kite. It's me."

"Oh, what's up?

"Are you all right now?

"Oh, I just took down the demon in the library."

I was curious to read the signs, but there were no more signs of demons in the library. Nevertheless, this can be called a battlefield. Hence there are countless murderous demons around, unreadable no matter how much kite or dormant they are. So it was only to the extent of reference - and therefore I hadn't read the signs - it turned out to be. And to such a kite, Laurent tells.

"I have now successfully destroyed the safe. There were still plans in there."

"Again? Was there a place in the basement?

"Oh. Looks like there's a hidden staircase in the middle of the library."

"Again? There was a demon in the vicinity."

'I see... this one will continue to investigate. Let me know if you find anything. "

"Aye."

Apparently, Kate was right in her assumptions. Alice and Kite snort after being contacted by Laurent and listening to him in the headset just like Kite did.

"Well... Alice. Focus on this area. Let me know if you find anything."

"Yes."

They have hidden doors that lead underground around here, both in the raven and in the corner. The two rely on reports from Laurent to begin exploring the surrounding area. Well, it's a building abandoned twenty years ago. As if there were any traces on the boulder, I didn't see it.

……

"... Um"

"Hmm?"

Alice calls out to Kite, who was exploring the area with some harsh face. Besides, Kite looked up, too.

"What's wrong with you? He had some kind of harsh face..."

"Ah, oh. No, never mind. I was just wondering... just a guess. I'm just wondering if I need to say something far-fetched."

"Ha..."

Something seems to be grasping at Kite. From the look of Kite with a rugged face, Alice perceives it. Nevertheless, he understood that it was not something he was going to talk about, and decided to return to the investigation. And, being such a girlfriend, I noticed the discomfort by putting back the book I had.

"... this is..."

"What's up?

"Ah, yes. The strange discomfort..."

"Uncomfortable?"

"Yes... when I treat this book here..."

Alice, who was questioned by Kate, puts the book she had earlier - which seemed to have fallen by chance - into an empty space. Seeing that, Kate also looked at the book to her hand to try it out. Then I could understand the cause of discomfort.

"Oh, I see. This is not a book."

"Huh?"

"I fake it well in my book... look, take a good look"

Kate opens what looks like a book Alice took and shows it to her. Then she also understood that it was not a book.

"Ah... Inside, the Demon Stone..."

"Oh. This is the key...... apparently, this is the hit on the bookshelf. Does Alice feel uncomfortable when she treats you feel uncomfortable when the key fits"

Kate looks up at the bookshelf where Alice finished the book. There were countless books there, and none of us could look at which was the same key as this. but I don't need to look into it properly, and I don't have time for that in the first place. So Kate decided to use a little backgammon.

"Alice, I need you to step away for a moment."

"Yes."

"Good... a little dastardly..."

Having let Alice take just a little distance, Kite herself falls back again a little bit to distance herself from the bookshelf. That's how he created countless demonic threads to connect to every book in the book.

"Wah..."

Alice unexpectedly raises her admiration for Kite, who has let her connect the Devil's Thread to every book in the mountains. Plus, Kite scrutinizes every book instantly, with a slight bloom. I just pulled out the hit.

"These five books are a hit."

"Ha... so what do I do with that?

"I don't know that"

To Alice's inquiry, Kate shook her head clearly with a laugh. I've found out that five books are keys, but I don't know how to open the door to the hidden room.

"So we just have to think about it together. Okay, Alice. Anything you can tell me?

"Ha..."

To Kate's words, Alice looks at the bookshelf again. The number of shelves on the bookshelf is exactly the same five steps as the number of keys. Nevertheless, the bottom of the bookshelf was provided with extensibility so that objects could be stored or larger books could be stored, neither of which were on this bookshelf.

"Maybe... I'll fit one book per step"

"Oh. That would be definitive. The question is, where and how do you arrange them?"

"Hmmm......"

To Kate's words, Alice compares the bookshelves to the keys. And I noticed her like that.

"Ah..."

"Hmm?"

"Um, this book. The titles of each book…"

"Hmm...?

To Alice's words, Kate looks at the back cover of the book again. but I didn't see any regularity.

"Nothing..."

"Huh? Ah... well..."

"What's up?

"No. I don't think you can tell this is Mr. Kite. Can I borrow it?

Apparently Alice was convinced by how Kate didn't know. When she says that, she receives all the keys from Kite and follows some regularity and acts in order from the top.

"Uh... this is here... this is here..."

……

From what Kate sees, I don't see any regularity in Alice's punishing book. but there was no stray in her arrangements and I felt clear confidence.

"Done. Ah..."

"Ho... that's a trick"

"Thank you"

Alice shyly bows her head to Kate's praise for looking at the bookshelf that made the noise and moved it out. That's how they found the door to the basement, and they decided to put in contact with Laurent for now.

"Laurent, it's Kite. Are you okay?"

"Oh. What's up? Oh, yeah. Here's one more report."

"Oh, no. This one managed to find a hidden door. I can go underground."

"What?"

"Alice's got it."

'Well... in the meantime, I'm on my way there too. Rendezvous underground'

"Okay."

Kite nods one at Laurent's suggestion and goes underground with Alice. And, on that road, Kate asked Alice.

"Even so... how did you know? There seemed to be no regularity..."

"Ah... maybe it's because it's been translated into a Nakatsu language in Mr. Kite's case."

"? Oh, I see...... I certainly can't do that"

To Alice's point, Kate is convinced that it doesn't matter how she scratches herself. In Enefia, basically, language is translated mostly by witchcraft. I don't have to cut this first. but as a result, it works without question, and those who manipulate other languages are aware of the translated results.

Therefore, for example, a cover written in alphabet is recognized in Japanese by the Japanese. As a result, even if they were arranged in the order "A B C", for example, they would be recognized later on in translation, and thus the correct answer cannot be derived for those who manipulate another language. It was a defense that poked at the witchcraft blind spot of language translation. And that's why they went down a little underground listening to that narrative, but in a little while, they reach the bottom level.

"This is it... me, I've never seen a device to control the junction... what is it?

"... big demon stone, what... still"

There it is, Cancer. It's an empty basement. There were no control boards controlling the junction and no demonic stones at the heart. Behind bitter-faced kite when she saw it, Laurent appeared.

"This is..."

"Apparently, the boss here took it away. Sounds like a pretty cutter, the boss here."

"Hmm..."

Look at the basement of Cancer, Laurent makes a bitter face.

"The demons were protecting this neighborhood... and I thought it was suspicious at that point."

"Huh?"

"Don't you see? They knew it was important here. but contrary to that, the vigilance was weak. I mean..."

"Important things came out of here after they were taken out, you mean?"

Laurent, who hears Kite's suspicions, gives an answer to Alice, who turns her eyes round and reveals her confusion. Thus, even if the kites responded, they would dare to crusade the bosses of the herd under these circumstances.
