Obviously gave me the feeling that someone was walking here a lot.

The most important point is that there is a wind blowing in the ——— passage.

I'm pretty sure it's probably the prisoner's hiding place.

However——— it is still necessary to check the hole next to it.

So, I came to the hole on the far right.

"Hmm...... There is no wind, and there is no movement of people...... Looks like it's a trap......"

Wrong!

Wait, this is most likely a trick left by the enemy!

Deliberately creating the illusion that someone walks through it is a trap left by the enemy.

Why did the enemy leave such a visible mark to let me know that people often pass by here? And there is also the wind passing through ...... Can't be wrong, it's definitely a trap!

Fortunately, I was well-informed and saw through their scheme, otherwise I would have been in trouble again.

However, just in case, it is necessary to go to the right aisle and check.

As I thought, there was no sign of anyone going through the passage on the right, and there were quite a few bones that looked like corpses.

"Hmph, after my investigation, I'm sure - the real exit is the passage on the far right."

"Huh?! Human, I remember I was talking about the passage on the left, right? ”

"No, the passage over there is a trap."

"You don't believe in dragons? You'll regret it! ”

"It's just because I believe in you that I made such a mess."

Did this guy forget that she had just been miserable so quickly?

"Captain, are you sure?"

"If you hurt us again, I won't be able to spare you."

"If you don't believe me, let me and Harina go first."

Really, you don't trust my judgment.

"Is it just me and Miss Suzuki......"

"Let's go, Harina."

"Huh?! Oh, oh, that...... All right. ”

I took Harina's hand and walked towards the passage on the right.

"Are you two okay? What if I encounter an enemy? ”

"No, I'll be careful."

With a vow, I strode forward without fear.

"Is it really okay, Miss Suzuki?"

"Really, even Haruna doesn't believe me?"

"No, I just don't think it's very safe here......"

"It's okay, there will definitely be an exit ahead."

The deeper we go, we still don't see the so-called exit.

"Miss Suzuki, that ......"

"Be quiet, I think I hear a voice."

"Voice? But I didn't hear anything. ”

"How so? There is obviously a ...... Wait, it won't be...... Run! ”

Sure enough, it was the sound of falling rocks!

Boom ———

The voices that had been heard before reappeared.

"Miss Suzuki!!"

"I'm sorry———"

I collapsed directly to the ground when I ran out desperately, and in contrast, Harina was breathing a lot more smoothly because she didn't run with me.

"Hmph, stupid human!"

"Captain, are you alright?"

"It's good that I didn't go with you, otherwise I'd be tired again."

Ignoring the noise of a few people, I found a rock and lay on it and gasped for air.

"Right... Rise...... Hauna, let you ...... Fool around with me. ”

"It's okay, Miss Suzuki will take a break first."

Harina handed me a glass of water.

As I drank it, I felt for the first time that the water was so delicious.

Damn it...... My judgment was wrong, and these people are too unprepared...... Doesn't that tell us where we should go?

Really, I thought my reasoning was perfect.

"Captain, do you want us to investigate again?"

"No need...... There, I went to see it...... No problem. ”

"Then why do you have to go to the passage on the right?"

"I thought it was a trap they had deliberately created......"

"Hehe, the captain is really smart but he was mistaken by being smart."

Hinako turned her head and covered her mouth and snickered.

"I want you to be verbose."

"Worthy of stupid human beings."

"Please, Suzuki, can you think about it a little more next time."

“…… I have nothing to say. ”

In the face of their accusations, I can only listen honestly, and I have nothing to refute if I make a mistake in judgment.

After another ten minutes of rest, we set off again.

This time I was sure I couldn't be wrong, and I double-checked with Sophia.

"There are indeed a lot of traces of people passing by here, and there should be no mistake."

"Wow! And many inexplicable corpses?! ”

"Get ready for battle! Sophia and Nana were in front, Harina and Hinako were covering, and Hoshino and I supported according to the situation. ”

"Yes."

"Understood."

Sophia and Nana slowly moved forward side by side, their eyes keeping an eye on their surroundings.

"Report if you find anything."

The deeper you go, the more you can see signs of frequent traffic, and even a man-made path.

"What's going on this time?"

"I'm sorry, my lord......"

"I don't want to hear this nonsense!"

At the end of the trail came the sound of a few people talking.

Probably what we're looking for.

"Be careful, they're just ahead."

"Yes."

The six of us quietly leaned against the iron door of the passage, and the sound from inside was very clear.

"By the way, what happened to the princess you mentioned earlier?"

"She was having a wedding when I went to assassinate her."

"Oh? That princess actually wants to get married? Which minister is it for? ”

"No, it's a woman I've never seen before."

"Huh...... Interesting. Don't want to be a puppet...... But the king and her brothers wouldn't agree, would they? ”

"But the king and the prince, they are now on the front line against the demons."

"That's why you chose this time...... Hehe, it's pretty good. If you have another chance, you must kill her. ”

"Yes."

Sure enough, they were the ones who wanted to assassinate Alice, and they couldn't let them go.

"Nana, Sophia, get ready!"

"Human, you're a little bit more."

"Sophia! It's slightly better for Sister Suzuki. ”

Nana reminded that Sophia was a lot more honest.

"......Shh I know. ”

Really, I'm going to take a good look at you and let you understand the priority between us.

"My lord, the mechanism has been triggered."

"What?! Anyone dares to break into here...... I'm really looking for death! But I'm sure I'll be killed by the trap. ”

"My lord, do you want me to take someone to see it?"

"Well, go ahead. I wanted to see who had the audacity to come here. ”

"Yes, my subordinates will go."

Some of them are coming out.

"Wait for them to come out before we do it."

"Hmm."
