Episode 181 Rift of Ice

I was attacked by fear and levitation, and drew a magical formation in my white vision.

However, I feel the rope wrapped around my waist stretching.

Nil!

Looks like Nil managed to stick to the wall.

From a floating feeling to a lateral motion, the body pushes out the white snow smoke and advances.

As the body progresses, there will probably be ice walls with nil on them.

I don't know how far it is, but it should already be a lot of centrifugal force...

Bwah!

The snow smoke that was supposed to be in front of me disappears. No, my body went through the snow smoke.

"Huh?!

Beyond the clear view, the wall of ice is approaching.

"Nuuuu?!

Gah!!

Twist your body as hard as you can and stand up against the wall.

The sensation of numbness and shock in your feet.

"Ohh... it hurts..."

Hurry up and plug the picket into the wall to avoid bouncing back.

It seems that my expectations were correct. I thought he was dead, but Nil managed to stick it against the wall.

"Nil"

Pota...

When I looked up to thank Nil who was directly above me, something warm fell down around my cheeks.

"Sena!!

Senna, who is above me and below Nil, is hanging on the rope and snuggling.

He doesn't react to my voice, he's unconscious.

When I wipe my cheeks, red blood sticks to my hands.

I can't see from here, but it looks like he's hurt somewhere.

Nil!

"Master! Senna!"

Nil is trying to get to Senna somehow, but I don't know how much of the injury is. If Nil moves poorly, Senna is supported by Nil and moves.

Nil, calm down! If Nil moves, Senna will be in danger!

"Nh!!

I wonder if this is what the pale face means, but Nil's face has turned blue.

We're on the verge of panic. Listen to my voice and stop moving, but you're pretty upset.

I want to know how Senna is, and I should get back to her.

Nil, don't move! I'm going to Senna's!

"Ha, yes!

After hearing Nil's voice, he climbed the ice wall.

Gah! Gah! Gah!

Stick the pickel against the wall, but there's a hard sound.

The walls here are also pretty stiff. I hope you didn't hit your head...

Carefully go up to Senna and attract the tight Senna.

"Senna! Hey! Senna!"

Call out to the attracted Sena. I don't think there are any major scratches on my head or face.

"...... nh......"

When I tap my cheeks and call several times, I raise my eyebrows and see a painful reaction.

"Good... you're just losing your mind..."

"Master!

Nil, it's okay! I'm just out of my mind!

"... I'm glad..."

When Nil called out to him that he couldn't be patient, Nil put his head against the wall and sighed.

I'm just out of my mind... there was blood on my cheek earlier.

Looking closely at Senna's body...

This is it...

I see a big laceration on Senna's left foot. There's a lot of blood coming out, and it's a life-threatening level.

Nil, don't move!

Yes!

Speaking of wounds, I think Nil will move and dare not touch the wounds.

"I don't know if I'll be okay with my first aid..."

To do anything, first use Dark Magic, Sticky Shadow to secure yourself and the wall so you can use both hands. I can use both hands now.

First of all, I think we need to stop the bleeding and tie Senna's hip area with a shorter rope.

I only did what I watched on TV with a mirror image, but I'm sure it wasn't a mistake. As you put the pile inside the rope and spin it around, the bleeding that was docking with your pulse will stop.

"Alright, now fix it..."

When the bleeding stopped, I took out the wound medicine that became more effective thanks to Greenman and hung it on the wound.

I think it would be better to sew the wound, but not here. This will be all we can do now.

Once the first aid is complete, wrap Senna's arm around her neck. It's hard because I'm unconscious... but I managed to carry it.

Wrap the rope around me and Senna in that state. You should have taken off your worst condition first.

However, the hemostasis has stopped the whole leg from bleeding and it shouldn't have been good if I kept tying it up. Loosening the rope is too much in this situation.

Besides, if you were stunned, you'd hit yourself hard. I want to keep you quiet, and I need to find a place to lie down.

"Nil, it's okay!

In one word, Nil relaxes his whole body once more.

"Well... I don't know what to do from here...

Looking up, the ice walls roll over a lot, and it's unlikely to return to where Rat would be. It might be possible if we use magic... but if we cause any more collapses, it's over.

Looking down, from about ten meters down, the situation is still completely white and cannot be grasped.

I don't know how much of it collapsed, but a lot of it must have collapsed. It should have turned into a wall perpendicular to the bottom.

If you go around the side... you look at the side with that in mind, but you can only see the vertical wall wherever you go.

"Do I have to go down somewhere once...?

That's all I can do.

But... can I go down with Senna on my back...

"Nil! Down..."

I noticed what I was about to say.

"This is...."

Pickel pierced the ice wall. One of them is piercing the ice wall quite deeply.

I was desperate about Sena just now, so I didn't notice.

"How soft is this place...?

Paki!

When you pull out the pickle, flakes and ice debris fall.

Huuuuuuuuuuuu...

Wind can be heard through the hole where the pickle is pulled out.

"There's a cavity inside!

The surface of the ice wall was pale and I didn't know, but it seems to be hollow inside.

Good!

Bakki! Bakki!

Use a pickle to widen the hole.

Definitely. There's a cavity inside.

I peeked inside as the hole widened a little.

"It's narrow... but I think I can handle it.

Nil! There's a cavity here! I'm going to open a hole and get inside now, so please wait a little longer!

"Ok!

Nil stands by honestly.

It's not that hard to pull up the nil once you get inside.

Bakki! Bakki! Baggy!

After a few hits with a pickle, a large chunk of ice falls off and a hole is finally formed that looks like it can pass through.

Looks like we can go.

Keep Senna on your back and let her dive into the hole.

At that time, I finally noticed that snow had entered my neck, wrist and ankle and it was cold.

Inside is a completely icy world. There are vertical ice walls all the way up, and it feels like a huge crevasse...

The light is dim just as it comes in through the entrance.

Going a little deeper, it was big enough for three adults to lie down and pass.

"I think it would be nice here.

Put Senna down from her back and put her to bed.

"... uhh..."

Speak quietly and look down. I think my legs hurt. It's quite a serious injury, of course.

I want to warm you up with a fire, but Nil first.

Return to the entrance and hold the body in place with a pile and rope, face out of the hole and look up.

Nil!

When I reach up and raise my palm, you notice the intent, nodding little... falling down.

Bash!

Nil grabbed me with both hands.

Gary!

"Nh!!

My feet began to slip, but I stepped on them to catch Nil.

"Okay, are you hurt?

"I'm fine! What about Senna?

There is a small scratch on Nil's face. Perhaps there are many other small scratches when I look at my whole body. I'm with you.

I don't think there's any major injuries, and now I'm relieved...

"I hurt my leg. We had first aid, but could you sew the wound?

"Are you hurt?!

Nil hurried to Sena. I'll take care of the wound suture. Let's use the magic of the lights to illuminate our hands.

Shinya! Are you okay?!

"Ah, first.

Tell Rat he's safe.

"It's just that Senna's pretty badly wounded.

Are you okay?!

"First aid, now in a rift of ice.

Do you know where we are?

The ice rift... it's still snowing and my nose isn't working! We'll find the entrance!

"Oh, I'm counting on you.

Yeah!

Rats will definitely find the entrance. I'll leave you to it. We'll take care of Sena.

"How's Senna?

"Thanks to your husband's first aid, the condition is stable.

I'm badly injured... but I think I'll be fine if I sew it up.

Nil seems to be speaking calmly, but quite quickly. I wonder if calm is a far cry. I know very well because I'm similar.

Nil is not a doctor and I don't know the details. That must be what keeps her sober.

"I'll light a fire.

"Thank you very much.

Thanks to the inventory and magic, it's easy to light a fire in a place like this.

Nil's treatment was completed immediately, and then the tent didn't go to…, but we can use wood boards and fabrics to put Sena to sleep quietly next to the fire.

"Are you okay..."

Nil sounded worried as she watched Senna breathe.

"It's okay because Sena is strong. I never broke my bones, and that scratch pill will get better soon.

"... yes..."

Senna is breathing a little faster, but she's breathing steadily, and I'm probably right. But in fact, Sena won't feel better until she wakes up safely.

After a while...

"...... uu......"

Senna, who had been illuminated by the flames that were pounding, regained consciousness.

"Sena?!

"... Nil...?...!!

When she saw Nil's face peeking into herself, Sena distorted her face in pain as she tried to wake her body.

"Don't move yet! It's a serious injury!

"... my... are you hurt...?

"Yes, my left leg has been severely cut..."

"Sinya-san... and Nil...?

"Yes... it may leave a scar..."

"Don't worry about that... if anything happens... I'll hold Shinya-san responsible..."

"Huh?!

"Hehe... I'm just kidding..."

Even in times like this, it's a joke not to worry about us... a really big woman.

"Where is this...?

"There's so much... no. Now, just think about healing the wound. It's all after that.

"... okay..."

That said, Sena fell asleep again.

"It's good to be conscious again. That's reassuring for now.

"Yes... I'm really glad..."

Nevertheless, I ran into a terrible sight.

That kind of collapse would take years... no, once every decade, or so often.

Instead of being caught up in that one... I think I survived well.

"Nil, we also have a lot of minor scratches. I'll apply some scratch medicine.

"I see.

Check their wounds and apply scratch medicine.

There were many wounds that I didn't notice until I saw them myself. Some of the injuries are bleeding and seeping into your clothes… and people may feel anxious to get away from the pain.

I applied scratch medicine on my back and other areas that I could not see.

"Master. It's tea."

"Thank you."

Just a few moments later, we prepared tea and a simple meal to warm up the cold body that had been swallowed by snow.

"... nnhhhh... it's warm..."

You can see hot tea passing through your throat and entering your stomach.

"Fufufu. Isn't that an amazing voice?

"Really?

It was a voice that came out naturally, but Nil's smile was seen without aim. Perhaps it's good to smell it from time to time...

"Still... it's a wonderful place to look again.

Looks up while delivering snacks to his mouth.

I have seen beautiful views and vast landscapes many times before, but it is a different view.

It's not strange to have a grudge against the snow mountains after experiencing so much fear, but I'm impressed when I look at the ice walls that extend from both sides to the top.

"It's a view you'll never see in normal life.

"I guess.

"It feels strange that such a place can be created naturally.

"You'll wonder what happened.

Maybe... even in my former world, there must have been a scenery like this somewhere.

However, I don't think I could have seen the opportunity to encounter this scenery every day at work, even if I had finished my tenju after that.

I answered that message lightly.

Even though it's a one-way ticket that you'll never come back...

Do you want to live in the world of Fanderges?

I don't think deeply about that question, yes. I pressed the button.

But if I'd known this was going to happen, I would have been. Would you have pressed the button?

Look at Senna's face as she goes to sleep and Nil's face as she looks worried about it.

I'm sure... I'm more confident than I was then, yes. You will press the button.

I think I've had a lot of painful experiences since I came to this world.

That's why if I was in the other world, I would have experienced something as painful as I had never experienced.

But... somehow I'm alive. I felt that way.

Maybe he's crazy. Maybe it's the idea that some screws flew.

I know that well myself.

But... that's why I think I'm glad to be in this world.

"Master?

As usual, Sasainil noticed my expression and turned to the question face.

"No... nothing.

When I put my hand on the necklace on my chest, I hear a click.

"Let's get some sleep too.

"... yes.

Then Nil and I took turns sleeping, overnight.

"How's Senna's wound?

"... it's almost healed.

"That's good.

It's as powerful as ever.

It's not easy to get, but the effect is huge.

The Green Man was planted with fear, but I just want to thank him for this scratch medicine.

"Ugh...."

"Good morning. Senna."

"... good morning... Nil.

Sena, who had been sleeping since then, woke up.

I don't even drink water, so my voice is a little dry.

"It's water.

"Yeah... thank you..."

Sena woke up. It seems to have caused a lot of pain.

"Phew... I feel alive..."

"Fufufu, that's good.

"Thank you very much. So... sorry.

Nil doesn't really know why Sena apologizes.

"Even though Shinya said it was such a dangerous place, I pulled my leg.

That's right!

"I don't think that's what Sena managed to do. Ning, I'm sorry that I couldn't avoid the warning signs.

If you look at it now, it's the bad sound Rato was saying. It must have been a sign of collapse.

I should be blamed for not doing anything while I was listening to that from Rato.

If excuses were allowed… I don't think it would have changed much, even if something had been dealt with. Most things are pointless if they collapse on that scale.

"So don't look so dark. If it was the other way around, would Sena have helped us?

"Of course!

"At that time, while it was falling apart, it wasn't strange that any of us were in the same situation as Sena. Life is a miracle in the first place.

I'm not talking about who pulled my leg or anything like that.

"That's right! Your husband is right!

"Heh heh. Thank you."

That's what Sena says to make me smile.

"How are you feeling?

"It hurts a little... but it's okay. It moves normally and I don't think you need to worry about it.

"I'm glad..."

"But didn't you say you were seriously injured?

"Actually, there's a good scratch medicine. I used it.

"I've never heard of a good wound medicine... that can cure a serious injury...?

"It's been a long story, but I've had a lot of opportunities.

"Really... Shinya-san will surprise you no matter what you do.

Huuuuuuuuuu...

In the middle of the conversation, you hear the sound of the wind.

"I was wondering if it would be all right if you were on fire, but is the air flowing through here?

"Oh, it's a little cold because of that, but it's not as painful as a fire.

"Does the wind go through this rift, somewhere?

"I hope so. Rato is looking for another entrance right now. Please don't leave this entrance, and I'm just hoping you'll find me.

"My legs are fine. Do you want to move on?

Looking at the tip of the rift, Sena says.

If I move too much, I think finding Rat is going to be a lot harder...

"Let's wait a little longer. If we don't find Rat, we'll move towards the exit.

"... okay.

If you proceed, the wounds on Senna will be completely healed.

"To do that, let's eat first.

"I've been waiting!

I don't think he's injured.

"I'm not in the mood yet, so please don't eat too quickly.

Yes!

This brings Senna back to normal and finally brightens the air.

"That? Shinya-san... that..."

Sena looks at me and is stunned.

The reason is Eisen and Pickel that I was using.

Eisen has several broken spines and one of the pickets is missing.

"I was desperate..."

"I have to thank you for saving my life. It's okay. It's easy to fix. I'll do it later.

"Thank you.

If Sena hadn't come with me, we'd be moving on with this broken gear.

Then half a day passed.

"Rato, what do you say?

I can't find it yet!

"I'm relieved that Sena's wounds have healed for now.

Good!

"How's it going out there?

Hmm... not very good. It's snowing.

"Well... don't push me. We'll look for an exit too. Do you know where we are when we move?

Yeah! With Shinya, it's fine!

"Okay. Then I'll move on. Rat, move while you're safe.

Okay!

After working with Rato, and with Senna, who's energized, we're going deeper into the ice rift.
