“……”

After Ronald spoke, the two girls who were still talking just now fell silent at the same time.

The atmosphere around it became weird.

The staircase leading to the upper level of the castle is far from the end, and it does take some time to walk through it normally.

But here's the problem –

The Ronald trio have been here for a while.

When I looked back again, I realized that they weren't that far from where they had just set foot here!

This is not the normal speed at which the three of them are moving forward anyway.

And the reason why Ronald was one step ahead of the other two and the first to perceive the problem was because of his extremely keen perception ability, which detected a wave of magic power that had just flashed away.

It's just that he followed this discovery to observe, only to find that this magic fluctuation, which was already extremely imperceptible, had disappeared without a trace. After his eyes fell on the stairs around him, he realized the strangeness of the position of the three of them.

"Boss, we've been standing still just now?" After a few seconds of silence, Ilr took the lead in asking questions.

"Maybe we've been dominated by some kind of space spell, and we've been unconsciously moved closer to the starting point?" Fischer also offered his own opinion.

Regarding the thoughts of the two girls, Ronald shook his head dryly:

"Unfortunately, I just found out about this issue and don't know the details."

"As for what the situation is here, let's actually test it and we'll know."

The words landed, and Ronald took a step forward.

He has such a perfect talisman spell as [Human Reason], and when faced with such doubts, he should naturally be the first to experiment.

Then the first step fell, and nothing changed in Ronald.

He looked back at Il and Fischer, and the two maidens distanced themselves from him as he walked.

Nothing happened, everything seemed perfectly normal!

So Ronald moved on and took the second and third steps up the stairs without oblivion......

Finally, after continuing to advance thirty-nine steps.

The moment Ronald took the fortieth step forward, the magic fluctuation he had just sensed reappeared.

It's just that he doesn't wait for him to observe the situation and appreciate the actual changes.

The next second in Ronald's coherent thoughts is the image of himself returning to where he first climbed the stairs.

“……”

It's a very special process.

Although the time to be returned to its original position was very fast, and the scenery around him changed very quickly, it was such an abrupt thing, and Ronald did not feel anything strange in his mind.

In fact, if he hadn't discovered this particular turnback mechanism in advance, his attention would have been focused on this aspect.

After being sent back to his place, I am afraid that he himself will not be able to perceive the strangeness of this incident, and will only think that this is what should have happened when he ascended the stairs.

“……”

"Isn't this just a ghost hitting the wall......

Whispering a word of complaint, Ronald still set his eyes on Il and Fischer.

Compared to getting up and being in the range of the spell, what happened just now must have been seen more clearly by these two girls.

"Il, what just happened from your perspective?"

Hearing Ronald's inquiry, Il's answer was immediate, but his tone and expression were a little confused:

"Boss, I'...... I'm not so sure. ”

"In my perspective just now, you just took a step forward and then returned to the position below in the blink of an eye, during which I didn't find anything superfluous, as if you had been moved out of thin air?"

After some explanation, Il remembered something, and pointed lightly to his chest:

"And it's not just the visual observation of the eyes, but in the special sense of the two of us, you are also very abruptly moved to this position."

The action that Ilje made specially was naturally the induction on the soul level of her and Ronald. After all, it is a part of his own soul, so in this regard, Il can make a very accurate judgment.

After Il's answer was finished, Fisher on the side also showed what he had just seen:

"I don't know much about the special induction between the two of you, but Ronald, the picture I just saw is exactly the same as Il."

“……”

Both Il's and Fischer's statements illustrate what they have just experienced.

But after listening to these descriptions, Ronald felt that it was not enough insurance, so he glanced at Il, and immediately stretched out his hand to the stairs ahead:

"Il, you go up and try it too."

"Huh?" Yir obviously didn't expect that she would face such an order, but after all, this was Ronald's order, even though the expression on her face was as uncomfortable as stepping on shit, she still walked forward honestly, but she didn't forget to repeat it many times, "Boss, you have to take care of me." ”

"If something goes wrong, you'll never find an obedient pet like me again, and that's more than worth the loss!"

As soon as the words landed, Ilr honestly walked up the stairs.

Fischer, who heard this on the side, was shocked, and then looked back at Ronald sharply:

"Il...... Pet ......"

Ronald pretended not to see Fischer's surprised expression.

He looked intently at Il, who was walking up the stairs, and when he was about the same distance, Ronald turned on the [Human's Reason] to ensure that he was not affected by other inexplicable spells.

Then, the exact same picture appeared.

Ilr still came to the same staircase position as Ronald.

No other characters arrived, and there was no interference from some kind of facility. Il's disappeared in place in a second, and immediately reappeared at the beginning of the entire flight of stairs.

“……”

Faced with such a situation, Ronald frowned slightly and did not speak immediately.

However, Il, who was below, confirmed that he was not injured at all, and immediately showed a flattering smile to Ronald:

"Boss, it seems that the two of us are in the same situation."

“……”

At this time, Fischer on the side was a little unable to stand.

Seeing that Ronald's master and servant were trying to take risks with their lives, she was unwilling to stay out of it at this time.

"Ronald, Il, I'll try another position, you guys like me."

As the words landed, Fischer jumped straight down the stairs and recited the incantation in his mouth.

Bang –

The spell was successfully activated, and a powerful force immediately erupted from the red-haired girl's feet.

Immediately afterward, Fischer leaped from the ground.

She did not intend to step on the stairs at all, but was ready to support herself with pure strength, rushing up to the higher floors from other directions.

Soon, however, Fischer's figure flying upwards suddenly disappeared in mid-air.

Just like Ronald and Il, who just walked up the stairs.

Her figure reappears in the castle, and she is back on the ground from the beginning!
