Chapter 7: The Four Who Acted Without Permission (4)

*

The imaginary blood did not appear.

Hinako was saved by Haruna who reacted quickly.

"Are you alright, Hinako?"

"I'm fine, thank you, Hauna-chan."

"It's fine if you're okay."

No traps other than arrows are triggered.

But it's still unknown if there are any other mechanisms.

"I'm sorry, Hinako. I shouldn't have said those things......"

Hoshino apologizes for his previous gaffes.

"It's okay, it's okay, don't you think I'm fine?"

Hinako didn't get angry and made a triumphant gesture towards Hoshino.

Really......

"Now, I'm going to push open the door."

"Hmm."

"One, two!"

Hinako pushed the door open with all her might.

Behind the gate is a narrow passage that leads to an unknown area.

"Stupid, why are you pushing them all away?"

"How are we going to get in if we don't push it all away?"

"What if there are guards behind the gate?"

"There won't be, you see, isn't it nothing?"

"Even if it's okay this time, you should at least have a minimum of vigilance."

"I see."

However, the mechanism was triggered just now, so no one will notice it, right?

"Who?!"

The ten-man squad that had patrolled earlier came out of the passageway.

"Huh?!"

It actually appeared!

"Nao-chan, can you not speak?"

"You can't blame me for that, can you? I don't know......"

"Let's not talk about that, everyone is ready to fight."

Hinako immediately commanded the three of them into a combat state.

"Understood."

"Trespassing is a felony, and you don't want to go any further."

The soldiers drew their swords pinned to their waists and watched the four warily.

"I'm sorry, but we're going to have to break through today."

Without hesitation, Hinako used the few magic scrolls she had left.

The magic only stopped the soldier for a few seconds, and did not do the damage that Hinako had imagined.

"How so?"

It seems that she is still immersed in the state of last night.

"Stop them, don't let them go any further."

The soldiers surrounded the four of them.

"Nana, can you see the enemy clearly?"

Hoshino saw that Hinako didn't react next, and immediately issued an order to Nana next to him.

"Hmm."

"Then please. Harina, I'm sorry for you to cover Nana. ”

"Understood."

"You stay in the back."

Hoshino forcefully pulled Hinako, who was in the front position, behind him.

"Oh, let me take you down!"

How did Nana become the same as Hinako......

However, Nana's strength was as strong as ever, and she took down a soldier with a single punch.

"Come on, Nana, there are nine more."

"Oh, Nana will try!"

"Quick! Catch this little guy for me! ”

The soldiers unanimously pointed the finger at Nana.

But they weren't Nana's opponents at all.

One by one, they fell under Nana's fist.

"Damn! Are you a monster? Fall back! Fall back! ”

Seeing that Nana was no longer the enemy, the soldiers fled in a hurry into the passage.

"Don't let them run away!"

"Nana, let's go!"

Harina picked up Nana and chased after her.

In front of the "sprint champion", no one can outrun her.

"Ho, you can't run away."

Under Nana's iron fist, the last soldier also gave up resistance.

"Yay!"

Nana also learned from Hina to make a triumphant gesture.

"Hey, are you still in a daze?"

Hoshino shook Hinako, who had been stunned since just now.

"Ahh

"It's been solved."

"Huh? Is it solved? ”

"What are you doing?"

"Sorry, I just thought about something else."

"Thinking about last night?"

"Huh! How do you know? ”

Hinako looked at Hoshino in surprise.

"Just look at your face."

“…… Is it that obvious? ”

"Of course."

"Really......"

"Don't think too much, you have to play with the captain to play your best, don't you?"

It seems that Hoshino is not very good at comforting people.

"Hmmm......"

"Anyway, let's move on."

"Yes."

Seeing that Hinako was not in the state, Hoshino consciously took her place as the leader.

Hoshino in front, Nana and Harina in Naka, and Hinako behind, and the four of them cautiously entered the passage in such a formation.

"It's a long passage."

"I didn't expect there to be such a place under the prison."

"I always feel like there's something bad in front of me......"

"Please, Nao-chan, don't say any more, something will really come out later."

"What do you mean? It's like it's my fault. ”

"Didn't you tell me what happened just now...... Could it be that Nao-chan is actually a prophet? ”

"Not really!"

I was still in a low period just now, and after walking a few steps, I was in the mood to talk to me, and the stupid man was really relaxed......

Behind the long passage is a small space.

Still empty of nothing.

"Why is there nothing behind this?"

"It's weird......"

"Did those people come up out of thin air?"

"Humph! Nana got it! ”

Nana said thoughtfully.

"Nana?"

"What do you know?"

"There must be some mechanism here."

"None of us can guess that."

"What? Can you even guess this? How terrible. ”

Are you two here to sing? One sings and one harmonizes.

"According to my inference, the answer lies in this pattern."

Nana stepped on a strange pattern.

On closer inspection, the pattern is exactly the same as the one depicted on the previous door.

"I'll see."

Hinako stepped in.

But it was clear from her expression that she didn't recognize the pattern either.

"I can feel a faint wave of magic up there."

Hoshino moved a little closer, and he felt a faint wave of magic emanating from the pattern. There is no doubt that this pattern should be some kind of magic mechanism, as long as it can be activated, it can trigger magic.

"Huh! Why can't I feel anything? ”

"You're not a magician."

"It's too much, Nao-chan......"

Hoshino mercilessly poked Hinako's sore spot.

"Do you want Nana to break it?"

"If it is broken, the magic mechanism will be invalid, and we will not be able to use it."

"What then?"

"Do you have any magic scrolls left?"

"I'll see...... There are also two scrolls of fire magic and earth magic. ”

Hinako pulled out the final scroll from her backpack.

"Enough, try it with your magic scroll."

"Do you want to use it directly?"

"Hmm."

"Won't you destroy it?"

"No, your magic isn't as powerful as that."
