The plain and unnoticed me is no more

138 The identity of the ball of light

"Eh...?

Was that a fairy? I thought you weren't here, but seeing it in a building without plants is kind of weird. I wonder where I got lost...?

As I was invited by the ball of light, I walked away from the scene and followed it to the entrance hall of the building.

Instead of the inorganic stone walls and floors I've seen before, it was decorated with warm trees, and it was quite old compared to the place where Irina broke up earlier. The size is quite different, and it gives the impression of being close to the town church.

The front entrance door is somehow left open, with long hallways to the right and left. Is the hallway on the left just finished? It is still new enough to smell of wood.

"Um... is anyone there...?

There are signs of someone being there, so I tried calling for fear.

Ingredients such as fresh vegetables packed in wooden boxes and sacks are piled up near the wall on the right, and some luggage remains in the outside van that you can see from here. As far as I can see, I think someone was carrying them in, but I don't see where they went.

When I heard it clear, I just heard a bird chirping from the outside, and there was no response to my call, and I didn't feel any sign of people nearby. Perhaps the people who were here were driven out to search for Sandra.

And when I got here, I lost sight of that fairy ball of light. I didn't know what I was going to do after it, and I remembered that I had returned to me without telling you anything, and I decided to hurry back to where I was.

"Oh my...! I have to get back soon...."

When I turned my heel back and tried to return to Irina, Weiss, who was hiding behind me, hindered me in the form of a large white lion.

"Hey... what are you doing, Weiss?

I hurriedly spread my hands and checked the surroundings to hide Weiss.

There were many people here who were so spiritually powerful that they could see the fairies, but Weiss appeared magnificently.

During that ritual, the influence of the power given to him by the goddess with me made him visible to ordinary people when he was alarmed, so I have to be more careful here.

But no matter how much I tried to hide, I couldn't hide him many times as big as myself, and I gave up early.

"I want... at least a puppy size. What are you gonna do if someone sees you?

(Don't worry, there's nobody around here. Are you sure you don't want to go after Lana and Leviant? He was looking for it before he left.)

"... Leviant?

(... no wonder you didn't know who the fairy was earlier, but you were just chasing after the dark clouds?

I nodded with cockroach.

"I mean, I kind of wondered... was it really Levi?

(Yes, definitely)

"Yes... that's why I noticed. I wonder if Levi wanted to lead us somewhere."

(I think so. But you've lost it here)

Looking at the hallway on the right, there are several doors lined up, and there is a plate on the corner that says "cafeteria." So what's ahead is the kitchen and pantry doors.

And at the end of the hallway on the left is a heavy door with a gaze window. I hadn't heard the exact location yet, but it soon became clear that it was the only place that would lead to the Virgin's residence, as Irina had said.

Because even though you purified the black fog before entering the building earlier, there is still black moya flowing out of the gap between the door and the wall.

... hmm? Something's wrong. Sandra left her room, and she must be missing now, right? That's why the priests are searching around the building... what do you mean there's moya in there?

"Hey Weiss, did you see where Levi went?

(Seems to have gone to the left, but doesn't know where to go)

"On the left... I wish that door wasn't locked. Let's go first."

Instruct Weiss to hide, proceed to the left hallway while watching the area, and stand in front of the door. The black fog is drifting with moisture, and I feel very disgusted.

Still, I put my hand on the door handle and pulled hard. Then the door opens so easily that you can clap your hands off.

No matter how much it was in the temple, I thought the Virgin's residence was secure, but it wasn't locked.

"You're careless...."

When I opened the door, it was the continuation of that corridor that surrounded the Great Temple. As if it was directly connected to the room, the corridor remained intact, and a white square bungalow building was seated in a closed space surrounded by high walls.

There are no windows to peek inside, and there are many elongated windows that open higher than the person's gaze.

"Well... there's nobody here. I thought there might be someone here, but you didn't leave any guards here..."

Taking the corridor to the right and checking the full contents of the building, the wall on the side of the Grand Shrine protruded partially in front of it, creating something reminiscent of the shrine's shrine.

Instead of the bell, a small bell hangs, but if you put the coin box and hang the rope from the top, it looks more like it.

I wanted to see what was inside, but unfortunately there were layers of thin cloth curtains hanging on the other side of the fence, so I couldn't see inside.

This building has two doors that look like entrances. One is a beautiful carved door, the other is a simple door without decoration. The sculpted one will be the main entrance and exit.

"What is this door used for...? A trick? I feel something terrible coming from here..."

I went to the door without the decoration that I had been worried about since I arrived.

If you look silently, you can see even a thin black mist covering the door. Sandra, who was disturbed that I was gone, actually thought that nobody would find me here.

I'll try to open the door. And it wasn't locked, and it was a well-organized warehouse. On the shelves lined up, there are pots and other ceramics that seem expensive to see, and luxury everyday items and rare cloths are neatly stored.

When I entered a little, I saw furniture and a large mirror in the back, and there was something moving in the mirror. I start approaching carefully to see what it is.

Then, a man with long white hair, who was familiar with it, stood up gently and looked back gracefully as he raised his hair.

"I found it....! What are you doing there?
