Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

Tips... Tips...

Footsteps resonate in a cavity made of ice.

"It's a big rift, isn't it?

"Sounds like it.

The rift continues to the back, turning left to the right. The footsteps are sounding a long way ahead, and I wonder if they're too loud.

It was intense up and down, and if Eisen and Pickel had not been repaired, it would have been a big deal.

Also, unlike the outside, there is a cold like getting cold from the core.

When I illuminate the passage with the magic of a light, it is reflected and sparkling on the surface of the ice.

"Khu! It's freezing!

"Do you use magic?

"It's not that bad. It's okay! This is proof that he's alive! Hehe!

Senna buried her face in a snowshoe jacket and laughed.

"I wanted to show it to Sakura too..."

This is what Gonzo told me, but it seems that Senna uses this word every time.

I guess that's all you're thinking about.

Sakura said that every time she visited Sakura, Sena talked to me with gestures...

Behind it, these thoughts were hidden.

"To be able to see this scenery, you have to train as much as Senna first?

"I'm not really that good at training..."

"I guess everyday exercise is training. If we don't let Sakura do that, we won't be able to climb it.

"Heh heh. That's right. I'd like you to help me with my work first. Sakura won't skip.

"I can't really imagine a place where the sakura skips..."

"Instead, I can only imagine Sakura-sama scolding Senna.

"Ahh! Nil, that's terrible!

"Fufufu."

Walking through a dark ice passage while talking like that.

A short time after I started walking, I went to a strange place.

"Is this a natural place...?

It is not impossible for Nil to wonder.

Because it suddenly emerges into a large space and there is a rough ice wall in front of it.

On one side, it gives the impression that the surface has been polished beautifully. It doesn't look natural.

"There seems to be a similar passage in the back..."

The corridor itself goes deep... but this wall is suspicious anyway.

I came here looking for Ice Hua. Ice Flower, the original purpose... the atmosphere that seems to have something in it is conveyed in a bottle.

"Here... I think it's too suspicious... what do you think?

"I feel like I'm saying something...

"It's suspicious, but what do we do?

Ice polished like a mirror from anywhere, no cracks, no cuts.

It seems quite thick and the other side is invisible, but it will take a lot of time and effort to break or melt.

It takes too long to work away from Rat.

"I doubt it... but let's meet Rat first.

I'll be fine! I'm on my way to the entrance!

"Oh, really?

I think we'll be there soon!

Apparently, I wasn't left out of luck.

"Lat's going to join us.

"Good... now we can all meet again safely.

As Rats wait to join us, they appear from the back passage in a few minutes.

It should have been black and yellow hair, but the snow adhered to my whole body and turned white. Looks like you've been doing a pretty good job searching.

Finally I see you!

"It's pure white..."

Hmm?

"Hold still.

Yeah!

The wind magically cleans Rato's body. After all, the latte will not melt unless it has a black and yellow pattern.

Ah, yes. Sinya. This thing fell on my way here.

I dropped what Rat was sucking on my mouth.

The salivation is amazing...

"What is it?

"Something... a piece of metal?

Sure, the fractured surface is shiny and beautiful, but...

Sinya! Back! Back!

Back?

Rat told me to roll the metal in my hand...

"What is this?! Why are you here?!

The back of a piece of metal... that's the surface, to be exact, but anyway, there's a symbol of a woman's lateral face and feathers.

I've seen this symbol many times. It's an emblem of the Watanabe that's in the sheath of my sword.

I thought it had something to do with it because it was in Sinya's weapon.

Did I help?!

"Ah... ahh. Thank you."

Ehehe!

I'm glad you thanked me, but why are you here...?

And this is a complete artifact. It is not a substitute for falling into such a corner of an iceberg.

"Is it related to this wall...?

When I try to touch the rough ice walls, I get attacked by the feeling of the force flowing out of me.

When I see the resonance bracelet wearing the arm I gave you reacting, it seems that the power is reacting. Is the black stone reacting exactly?

Since Genjiro taught me how to handle the power, I have been practicing daily manipulation, but thanks to this, I have become aware of the slight shaking of the power in my body.

It is still difficult to freely manipulate divine powers like the Four Demons, but I always feel their existence. It's spilling out.

I thought I'd stop forcing my magic, but I felt like there was something ahead... Ning, I poured my magic into it.

... fuzzy... fuzzy!

Then, your feet shake a lot.

"What was that?!

"Another collapse?!

We put our hands on the floor and put up with the shakes.

Gogogogogogogo!

Bigger and bigger.

Bakin '!

Ice falls apart from rough ice walls.

"Isn't this bad?!

There's nothing we can do in this crevasse to escape.

Bakin '! Bakin'!

The amount of ice falling is considerable. If you stay here, it's dangerous. I tried to force you to leave, but at that moment...

Gogogogogogogogogogogogo!

The rough ice wall leaves about 30 centimeters below and pulls into the back.

When it pulls in about 30 centimeters, it leaves another 30 centimeters from there, and the top pulls back.

Apparently, the ice walls are gradually building stairs.

"Well, what's going on...?

Suddenly, when the ice walls in front of us move in a snowy mountain covered in nature, it seems that people can only say that much.

Gogogogogogogogogogogogogogogo....

The wall keeps pulling in, finally completing the staircase going up.

"Oh, it's a staircase..."

Ah...

I just said what I saw. It seems that Sena's mood is no different from mine.

"Master! Look at that!

Looking next to Nil's voice, a large part of the ice wall that would have naturally fallen. A part of the metal wall is visible behind it.

Artifact, anyway.

And the walls are patterned and have exactly the same symbols as the emblem I have in my hand.

Apparently, the debris in my hand is part of this wall.

"Looks like something fell off this wall.

Still... this is the symbol of the handler, right?

"Ah. Why is this... thing here...?

"I don't know, but... it's not unusual on this island.

Huh?

"I mean, that symbol is Floyd Stole's symbol, right?

"Huh?! No, wait a minute! Is this emblem symbol belonging to Watanabe?! And Floyle Store!

Floyl Stole is the name I heard once when Nir revealed that he was a demon.

In the name of the God that the Demons worship, the Holy Knights and the God that they worship are different, and this is the cause of evil.

"Yeah, I know.

"Wait, wait, wait! Hold on a sec!

My head is about to explode.

"Wow, I don't know what's going on..."

Even Nil is confused.

This symbol is undoubtedly a mark indicating the handover. It is also a mark of Fanderge, which was a game, and I remember it very well.

Is that the same symbol that represents the Floyl Store that the Nir Demons believe in?

"Nil, do you remember the symbol that stands for Floyl Stole?

"Yes... indeed, this is the mark.

Nil scraped the ice on the floor with a pickle to draw a mark that looks like a circle of asterisks.

In any case, it doesn't look like the mark of the bride.

"Look at that. Not at all.

"What shape? I've never seen it before.

Floyd Store is the main believer on this island, but wherever you go, it's just the side faces and feather marks.

"... wait..."

Speaking of which... at Genjiro's dojo, he was seated on the shrine. The shrine on that shrine.

It was made impossible to see directly, but... I think it also looked like the mark of the watanabe.

For me, it was also in the sheath of the sword and I didn't care because it was a familiar mark. Now that I think about it, it is strange that the mark is on this island.

Have the pioneer players here noticed...? No, if this is a game in the first place, I wouldn't mind if there was a city with a theme mark for the game.

Even if I heard the story of Floyd Stole, I would only wonder if the symbol of the Watanabe, Fanderge, meant something like that... That's the end of brain processing as flavored text.

It is possible that they will not be judged enough to publish it on the Internet or even remember it.

"Why didn't you tell me?!

"What?! No, I think it's something I normally know..."

No, that's right. It's a mistake to blame Sena.

For Senna, it is a natural fact that this is the symbol of the Floil Stole, and I don't feel the need to explain it deliberately.

"I'm sorry. I'm a little confused...."

"Yeah, I don't mind... are you okay?

"No... it's not okay...

This mark hasn't changed much?

"Hmm... I don't know... forever, but at least it hasn't changed while we're alive.

I see...

If the Floyd Stole symbol on this island is a symbol of the Way Forward… from us who have all sorts of information, it has a completely different meaning than the flavored text.

First of all, it is thought that the Watanabe are people who believe in the Floystole... on this island.

This is one of the reasons Sakura mistook me for a priest.

And if the symbols on this island have not changed for more than a hundred years while Senna is alive... there are several possible reasons why the symbols on the mainland are different from those used by the Demons.

One is that the gods I believe in are different in the first place. This is impossible. It will be the same God when the names come together.

The other was a change in the symbols on the continental side.

Probably this way.

For some reason, it is more natural to think that the mark that the Demons believe in has changed, and that no one who knows the mark in the first place... Neither Nil nor Amazones tied this mark to the Floyl Store.

And since the cross mark is the mark of a woman's lateral face and feathers, it is believed that there is a close relationship with the Floyl Store... and the Floyl Store, which is limited to Ouka Island.

If you think about it, the weapons you get from the Black Stone, the Miracle, the Event… the Sword. Wherever you take it, it's obvious that you have a close relationship with Ouka.

Ning, why haven't you noticed before...

In addition, as a species and clan that believes in the Floyd Store, the demon clan is mentioned.

In other words, the demons, the Watanabe, and the Demons have a common denominator, Floyl Stole.

I don't know what that means... but this event called the Legend of Four Ones Hua... is much more complicated than I thought, and it may be an important event for me in the future.

"Ah... my head is about to burn out..."

"Well, that's tough!

As I said in the analogy of things, Nil starts to scratch.

At the very least, I understand that this island, Ouka, is quite important to me.

Honestly, I don't know anything more... but I don't think there's going to be any progress now.

"So, are you okay?! Do you want to cool it?! Eh!

"Hahaha... it's okay. Because it's an analogy.

Anyway, I'm sure this symbol is important to me and... Nil.

That's all I need to know now. Let's not think about it again.

"I'm glad..."

Aside from Nil's Atafta, I can't help thinking about the Floyl Store, the symbols, and the stairs that open with the power of God. It's just...

Given the timing and content of the event, I've always felt something like meeting Nil, and then... anyway, something like a thought.

The answer is on this island... no, maybe we'll find it somewhere else.

"But... what's going on..."

Right in front of you is an ice staircase that leads up.

I wonder if it's okay to take the sick Senna up...

"Mr. Sinya? You're not going?

……………

Sena looks at me strangely.

"I can't help but notice it now..."

It is also dangerous to leave Senna here.

There is also the possibility that the surrounding ice will collapse due to the shake earlier.

If you think so, it would be safer to stay close to me where you can use the magic of the Holy Spirit...

"No, let's go.

I'll put my foot on the ice stairs.

Tips... Tips...

Step by step, carefully climb up the stairs and the light plunges in.

Looks like you're going to be in a much bigger space than you think.

Unlike the rift, the light from the outside is completely blocked and dark inside.

"... let's go..."

"Yes."

When I stand at the forefront and move on, the dark space is lit up.

This square space is about twenty meters square and twenty meters tall.

An ice floor with a regular square mass that runs deep into the eye.

Few round pillars carved with terribly precise and complex patterns, by whom.

The walls are made of metal and beautifully shaped with symbols seen outside and geometric patterns. However, there is ice on the surface, and the ice pillars (roughness) extend diagonally upwards from various places.

When the light hits, it reflects on the surface, sparkling, beautiful... it feels horrible.

"Master... that's..."

Nil's voice turned to the front as he watched me in that room.

The staircase that followed from below stretched from one side of the square to the floor, directly in front of it. On the other side of the wall, more ice columns are growing than on the other walls.

And in the middle, just in front of it, there is a large stone statue that seems to reach the ceiling.

The lateral face of a woman engraved in the emblem of the Watanabe. A stone statue modeled after the woman, feathers growing from her back.

In a word, everything in this room is ice pickled. However, for some reason, only the stone statue is slightly free of ice.

Because of this, the stone statue appeared strangely, and I felt like it was kind of moving.

Once I put such a statue in my sight, I couldn't cut my eyes off... and I was staring at it like it was eating...

"... who? ………

From the back of the room, you can hear the voice of a woman who, depending on how she listens, can be considered poor.

Did the statue talk?! And I thought... there's someone here. But... you didn't realize Rato was here...?

It seems to have been behind the stone statue, and the figure appears slowly.

"Oh no... no, Shinya... that's too dangerous..."

From the moment I saw him, Rat was totally alert... or freaked out.

I'm about to get out of this room.

In contrast to such rats, Sena and Nil are surprised, but not scared.

The reason was what she looked like.

A woman slightly over 160 centimeters tall came out from behind the statue. Besides, it looks like a tribal woman.

However, it is certainly not just a group of people.

The reason lies in the whiteness of the skin.

It's too white.

It can be said that Nil's skin is also clear and white, but the woman's skin is much white. The whiteness of the skin of a dead, uninterrupted person, as if blood were not flowing into the body.

It's a strange skin that I know is definitely not just a family of people.

Otherwise, however, it is not very different from the human race.

Light light light blue eyes, white... more transparent lashes (eyelashes). The clothes you are wearing are so-called (so-called) white clothes (shiroshizoku) and look like high-quality items.

White, long, straight hair that suits snow-like analogies.

A beautiful woman with a slurpy expression, in general.

However, she has white hair, blue eyes and Nil, but she feels cold somewhere. I may be impressed by being here...

I froze my spine when I saw her.

Beautiful, that's not such a positive reason.

She was simply frightened by her presence.

The body is small, and whoever sees it will see it as a weak woman.

However, I can see whether it is because of the spiritual connection with Rato, or whether it is the influence of the activation of the black stone, anyway, that this woman is very strong.

Your cheeks are sweating cold, and your stomach feels like it's being pushed down.

"Master...?

Nil and Sena don't seem to feel it and wonder how bitter Rato and I look.

"... who? …………

The woman repeats the same question again.

And those eyes are staring at me. He asked me a question.

"... the name is Sinya.

"Sinya... what are you doing here...?

"... I'm here to pick a flower called Ice Flower.

Answer each question with a woman.

If anything goes wrong, our lives could end there...

"Hyah... or...?

"Write it down as ice blossom... don't you know?

"Ice flower... I know.

"What?! Really?!

"... yeah..."

It feels like I talked to her and looks almost the same age as Nil, but the contents feel like children.

Rather than a child... I don't think I've talked much to people...

"Something... reminds me of an old Gonzo.

It would have the same image as Gonzo, who was just a catatop.
