Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

A huge gate standing at the back of an underground cave.

The tightly closed white door is engraved with a relief that is slightly weathered but has a solid shape.

"In the meantime, make sure it's safe."Setting up a campsite"

There is no time for emotion, and countless crabs attack from behind.

I unfolded the “scale cloud” slightly larger into the gap where the toca was repelling it.

Mr. Reggie!

Thank you for waiting.

As soon as the tent was installed, Letty and the others who were chasing her from behind also caught up.

The tarts and Luna also suffered some scratches, but they stood with refreshing expressions.

"Wow, I'm tired. In my tent for now, Letty!?Is your arm okay? "

Looking back, I was surprised to find a bandage that wrapped around Letty's left shoulder.

"It's okay, I think it'll stick together soon."

Are you taking it!?

Speaking lightly, Letty raised her voice again.

Once again, I was astonished at the recklessness of listening to what happened behind Lacto's back and realizing that she had been so reckless.

"Take care of yourself a little bit more."

"Ehehe, I will do good."

Letty answers me with a suspicious smile, knowing how tired I am.

"Anyway, we all got here safely, and if it's over, everything's fine."

Letty clapped her hands to get out of my sight.

Astra and the Silver Wings, as well as Luna and the White Deer Monastery, are all here as one person.

You should be honest about it.

But what do you think?

Astra clouds his expression as he turns around and relaxes the nervous air.

He turned to the gate, tickling Arthur's mouth, which rested on his shoulder.

"Does White Moon have any particular reaction?"

The white moon standing at his feet was not paying attention to the gate that stood before him.

The same was true of Tart's shikora and Luna's muffs, and the priests seemed to have nothing against the white gate.

"When I was at Coshua-Partacia, the gates opened with a white moon pass."

"Don't say the white moon like a ticket to an amusement park."

Letty pinched the tip of the white moon with her fingers and said.

Regardless, it seems that the possibility that Astra would open the gate if the four priests who Astra was hoping for gathered.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Reggie, you wanted to see the real thing nearby. How about that?"

Astra speaks to us.

I looked from the “scales” towards the gate and observed the carved patterns on the surface.

The woven vine pattern edges the doors, and each of the two doors is engraved with large claws resembling a crab.

After carefully reviewing them, I look back at the pictures I took before.

"Did you think of anything?"

"Oh, the relief of this gate is probably the same as the one that Koshua-Partacia was protecting."

Astra and the Silver Wings face each other neatly in those words.

Fine shook her shoulders and snorted her nose.

"Hmm. I've already figured that out.Is that all you wanted to know? "

"Well, that's right...."

The Knights are not regarded by Date as the biggest offensive band.

It wouldn't be strange if I knew already.

But that's why I was wondering.

"Isn't this door the other way around?"

"Reverse?"

Nimma looks at the gate and leans her neck.

The square doors, including the carved relief, are all there without discomfort.

Naturally, it is not mounted up, down, left or right by mistake.

"What do you mean?"

Their gaze is directed at them all at once.

I wobbled up two pieces of image data.

"This is the door at the entrance to the beach.It's taken from the fog forest side and the beach side, respectively. "

The pattern is different.

Letty peeked from next door, pointing out the brilliant difference.

I nodded and enlarged each picture.

"This is from the fog forest side, and this is the sandy beach side.Isn't it simpler to look at the door from the side of the fog forest? "

"Sure, there's a lot of crabs carved on the other side that looks fun."

Lacto nods.

The Partassian door from the fog forest side is carved with the same relief of crab claws as the large door here.

Compared to that, the doors viewed from the beach side were lined with crabs of all sizes and sizes.

"So on the other side of this big door is the pattern of this lively crab party?"

"Maybe, but that's not the point."

While nodding at Amy's words, she proceeded further.

"Doors are basically things that protect the inside from the outside.In other words, for those who come in from the outside, right? "

Of course, there will be exceptions, and if you come and go frequently, there will be identical designs on the front and back.

But the gates we've seen are changing their design on the back and front for now.

"It's just a prediction, but I think these gates are aware of the direction of travel."

"Direction?"

Luna raised her eyebrows with a strange look.

I expand the map and point my finger.

"The Partassian Gate had a rich design on the beach side and a simple design on the fog forest side.If you are aware of the direction of travel, it is assumed that the easier it is to follow, the more plain - that is, the direction from the beach to the mist forest. "

"Well, that means... we're going backwards?"

Tart tells me he's not confident.

Mutsuki and Kisaragi are surprised, but I nod.

"Well, that means the gate we came in from was originally an exit to the fog forest from the beach."

"This is the entrance?"

Astra looks up at the big door.

If the gate leading to the fog forest is the "exit”, this is the “entrance".

And we're looking at the entrance from the back.

So, is there another regular route to this [Sand Beach of Steel Crab], and Letty and the others were walking in the back?

"Yeah, well, it's hard to imagine being in a place where you can't even dig a hole from the entrance."

I nodded at Letty's amazing words.

It's like finding a marathon goal that only runners can find, cutting off the goal tape from the back, and then running backwards.

From the producer's point of view, it would be a headache.

"Um, Mr. Reggie."

Astra raised her hand.

When he had a bad feeling, he opened his mouth with wrinkles on his eyebrows.

"Maybe this door has never been opened before."

I don't know.

I look at the big door again.

It's a beautiful door with a fine relief carved into it, but nothing is likely to become a handle.

"Isn't that the type of door you pull in front of you?"

Correct route - if it is a simple door that opens by pushing in the direction of travel from the opposite side, we can nod no matter how much we push in the reverse direction.

I don't think there's a clue to pull it forward because it's a one-way door that we didn't expect to go from here to there in the first place.

"What....."

Astra collapses from her knees.

Well, I brought in a special chateau wrecker or a granular mechanic to launch a simultaneous attack, but it didn't move at all.

It is not impossible to wonder what the struggle has been.

"No, wait. I'm not sure I'm right yet."

"Yes, and even if it fits, how do we pull this door forward?"

I panicked and consoled Astra, who was disappointed.

Letty's right, even if it was a reverse run, there's no way to open this door.

It's like pulling a heavy door in front of you without holding onto a surface like this...

"Ah, mmm...."

Reggie, did you come up with something?

I can't deny Letty's voice.

No, not necessarily.

"Say it, Mr. Reggie. Prove that I was wrong."

"Why is Astra so mean...Well, maybe a floating spider can handle it. "

I take out the floating spider set from the inventory while struggling with Astra, who is sinking to the point where she is about to sit triangularly in the corner of the tent.

Of course, the little spider that forms the scaffold will be able to use it.

"The little spider's legs are stable on every terrain.I thought you could hold onto it even with less relief unevenness. "

"I see. That might be good."

If there's anything I can do, let's do it.

So I'll put a total of eight little spiders in the middle of the door.

Strong silver thread stretches from them, and Letty prides herself on grasping the end.

"Placement complete!"

This one's fine, too.

"You can always go."

"Hahaha... I want you to open it now, but I don't want you to open it..."

Some young people have a slightly more complicated mood, but everyone takes their place.

I was spared because I was too weak and busy maintaining the spider, and Lacto, Lisa, Kazuki and Kagura retired the crab to secure the place.

Letty, Amy, Toka, Mikage, Astra, Fine, Ash, Luna, Tart, Kiyozuki, and the hounds of the servant and Nirma, all 10 men and three hold the threaded rope.

Ahhh, can I do it too?

Do you want to do Susanoo too? Well, it's good. "

Susanoo, who was on the White Moon's side, walks out when she feels like she's pulling.

She's stronger than me, and it's better to have a lot of manpower now.

When I nodded, she stood beside Letty with joy.

Well then, let's go ~

Letty speaks up behind Lacto and the others, benefiting from the “scale clouds” and releasing the arts economically.

A tether grabbed the rope and lowered his hips.

"Seonoo! Ooooooo!"

The silver rope tightly tensions with the call.

The little spiders put their weight on their legs and stuck to the door desperately.

Hauu...... oh, woosh!

"Wow!?"

It was sudden.

On one side of the door, Letty and the others pulled forward.

The sand clogged in the gap dances and the glare spreads.

"Pull harder! We'll open it!"

"Ha, ha, ha."

Pull the rope again.

A thick door comes out intermittently.

By that time, everyone was in good spirits, raising their voices and pulling at their full strength.

Oh, Esu!

Susanoo also grips the rope with a small hand and puts his strength into his feet.

Every time she leans back, the door leans forward large.

"This is the last time!"

Letty shouted as she was about to fall.

Together, they open a heavy stone door.

Soil and smoke will blow up again, and the back of the door will be exposed.

"... you've opened it."

Astra says with complicated emotions.

Behind the huge, open door, there was more space.
