The Villainess, Cecilia Silvy, Doesn’t Want to Die, so She Decided to Crossdress
7. "Maybe Prince Janice?"
Twenty minutes later, they were in the corridor behind the temple.
The warehouse-like rooms are lined up, and there are no signs of people there.
Leanne looks at the paper she received from Cecilia and sees where she is.
"Third from the back." Tap the cobblestone next to this vase three times...... "
She muttered as she stepped firmly on the cobblestone beside the vase.
Once, twice, three times...Then, the third time, the cobblestone was dented.And then, the wall in front of me was shaking... and it made a loud noise, sinking once and slipping sideways.
It's a covert door, and then it turns up...
"The stairs...!"
It was a staircase leading to the basement.
It was said that there was no basement in the temple.In other words, there was definitely a sword of choice ahead.
As they stepped into the entrance, there were lanterns on the left and right.As Grace instructed, the door closes naturally with a flint stone brought to the lantern.
I don't know how it works, but it's a big joke.
With the lantern on their shoulders, the two of them descend the stairs.
The stairs were spiral-shaped.Every time they get off, the katsu katsu katsu and footsteps echo.
It's like a ninja mansion, isn't it?
Isn't that like an RPG dungeon?
I don't know why my predecessor wanted to hide the [Sword of Selection] by making such a trick, but I feel like a obsession no matter what.
Cecilia looked back at Leanne as if it were her last confirmation.
If you light the pedestal up ahead, the last door will open, right?
……
Lean?
Huh? Ah, yeah! I think so!
“What's the matter? What's going on?"
Cecilia peered at Leanne, who was staring at the lantern like she wasn't here.Leanne then pointed at Cecilia's lantern with a difficult face.
"Hey Cecilia, I just noticed something strange..."
Is that weird?
"Look at this. The roof of the lantern."
I looked down at the lantern as I was told.But Cecilia's gaze is preceded by a lantern of no strangeness.I don't know what's wrong with it at all.
"What's wrong with this?"
"There's no dust on it."
Huh?
"It should have been left for years, decades, but there's no dust on this lantern."It's as beautiful as if someone had used it recently. "
That's...!
An unpleasant feeling rushed around my head for a moment.
But Cecilia remembers that she couldn't have done that.
But this is a place that no one has ever entered until they found heroin in the game, right?
"That's right. If we obeyed that rule, no one else would be able to enter here but us..."
The cold sweat spreads to my cheeks.
Like the heroine of a game, there's no such thing as a chance that someone just stumbled across this place...In that case, it would have been widely announced that the sword of legendary selection had been found.It's strange that the information hasn't reached Leanne or Cecilia.
Hey, let's hurry!
Yeah!
The two of them run down the stairs.
And the little pedestal down there...
"The fire is lit..."
"Cecilia, come here!"
Leanne called Cecilia, who was about to move on.
Running in the called direction, there is an open stone door.And Leanne was beyond that door.
"You've been hit..."
Cecilia gazed at Leanne in the direction she was looking at.
At the end of the line of sight, there was an elephant that looked like a goddess.Below it was a pedestal in the shape of a dagger.Probably, there was a selection sword there.
"Who is..."
The moment Cecilia let out such a puzzled voice, something hit her toes.
When I drop my gaze, something glows.Cecilia crouched in and pinched it.
"Is this... earrings?"
Cecilia recognized the earrings somewhere.However, I can hardly remember where I saw it.
It was my best friend who followed me so far.
Isn't that Prince Janice's earrings?
Ah!
Could it be Prince Janice?
In response to Leanne's words, the two stared at each other.
