Shi ni Modori, Subete wo Sukuu Tame ni Saikyou He to Itaru

There was a danger, but I passed safely through the second floor to the third floor.

Thanks to the carpet on the stairs, it was easy to erase the footprints.

After all, noble houses cost money everywhere.

The room in the back of the third floor is suspicious, so I'm going to approach the room in the back for now...

There are guards.

I murmur so small.

A male guard stands blocking the path leading to the back.

I can pull my face in as soon as I see it from the corner.

Of course, the guard didn't know I existed.

I can get to the back room from the passage that he's blocking.That's why we have to do something about it. "

Nina's voice came to my ear.

Is that the passage that leads to the back room?

"I see... I want to distract myself from something and go into that gap."

The place where I and the guards are now is like a straight road, and the guards are standing on the road leading to the main road.

I was watching the guards from the corner of the aisle on the right.

The guards are wearing light armor, but they don't seem very strong.

I might faint in an instant, but don't leave any evidence behind.

I don't know when I've been guarding, but it seems like I'm very free. I'm not particularly alert to my surroundings, but I'm just standing there in a stretch.

It's quite a distance, but if it's just me for a second, I can fill the distance.

That's why we should be able to get the guards to the left aisle for about two seconds, and we should be able to get to the back aisle.

"I want you to somehow distract yourself from the aisle on the side where I'm not here.Can you do something about it?

Leave it to me, Eric.

The words were Tina's voice.

Apparently Tina has a plan.

"I want at least two seconds.I'll take care of it. "

Yeah, I'll try.

A few seconds after Tina's approval arrived...

There was a loud noise coming from the aisle in the direction I wasn't there.

There are several rooms on this floor, so it's probably sounded from one of those rooms.

The guard, who was trying to spare time, shook his body with the intense noise now.

"Nah, what?

The guards are watching the corner of the aisle on the left.

Then I heard a voice from behind the corner.

"Somebody help me!I knocked down the bookshelf!

This voice... looks like a man, but isn't it Yurina's voice?

I was probably talking in a voice close to this when I was dressed as a man.

"Yes, I'm coming now!

There was no doubt in the voice that the guards left their positions and ran into the aisle on the left, that is, the aisle where I was absent.

Eric, now!

"Of course."

Now I can get to the back passage very easily.

But it's a very good operation.

Perhaps Tina defeated a bookshelf in some room with wind magic or something.

And as you can hear it in the hallway from the room, this is the wind magic that sent Yurina's voice again.

Instead of a moment's gap, I completely removed the guards from the scene.

That's right, Tina.

Ehehe, that's a good plan.

Perhaps the guards went to the room where the bookshelf collapsed and wondered if there was anyone there.

Well, that doesn't prove we were there at all, so I'm sure it's okay.

"Nina, is there a trap in the aisle ahead?

Yeah, I see.It's pretty good.

There's a suspicious room in the hallway where this trap is.

Perhaps there is something in the room that I want to keep secret.

I'd be happy to have any information on Elena we're looking for.

"As long as I can, I don't want the trap to work.We have to unlock each trap one by one. "

Maybe, but there must be a switch somewhere that cuts all the traps.Otherwise no one will get near the room. "

"It would be quick if it were in this corridor....."

Worst of all, the guy who enters and leaves that suspicious room has a switch to cut the trap.

As I go a little further down the aisle, Nina calls out.

"Eric, stop.There's a trap ahead.Maybe if there was a switch to cut the trap, it would be around there. "

That's how I look around and see if there's anything like a switch.

But I didn't see anything like that on the floor, on the wall, or on the ceiling.

"No, I can't."

"Wait a minute. I'll magically explore the area with Tina."

"Don't get caught in a magic trap or anything."

"I know."

And I'm waiting to see if anyone's coming on the spot.

Dozens of seconds later, Tina's voice echoes in my ear.

"Eric, I think there's something under the carpet on the right floor where I'm standing right now."

"Under the carpet?

Tina told me to look carefully at the floor on the right.

It was a carpet with a red color and a beautiful square pattern drawn evenly, but only one of the patterns was slightly skewed.

When I crouched down and touched it, I realized that the carpet could be peeled off only by the square pattern that was skewed.

When I peeled off the carpet, I saw a beautiful hallway floor, but there was also a slip on the floor... and when I slipped on it, there was a switch.

"Yes, this is it."

That!

"This isn't a trap, is it?

It's probably okay. Besides, it's not a trap because the hidden switches don't work as traps. "

That's true, too.

I'll never push that switch.

... nothing in particular happens.

"Can you disarm it?

"... I'm done, it's perfect.Every trap has no magic response, so it won't work. "

"Okay."

Looks like we've cleared the trap.

But I was alarmed here, and something worked, and if they found me, I fell over.

Until I got to the suspicious room, I walked along the aisle unabated and alert.
