by fnovelpiaThe time when the moon rises.
Magic Tower 4th floor.
Guest room.
“In the end, I didn’t find out anything… .”
Andrew grumbled like that.
Next, Astradic, Lapis, and Aleph each said something.
“I was hoping to discover something amazing.”
“Me too. I thought Felix would know better, but I only heard a lot of ghost stories.”
“I guess people in Magic Tower don’t really care if it’s not their interests. Senior Felix was also very excited when explaining his experiment.”
“Ugh~ I’m feeling a bit lost.”
Phew~
A group of sinking Ronicas.
The tour of the Magic Tower was definitely fun.
But something felt uncomfortable.
There definitely seemed to be something there, but as expected, there was nothing I could easily figure out.
conclusion.
I only looked at the Magic Tower intently.
end.
but… .
The real thing starts now.
Ronika seemed to have made up her mind and suggested one thing.
“Kids. Shall we explore the underworld?”
A ghost story told by Felix.
Let’s find the basement of the Magic Tower.
It was a shame to leave like this.
I wanted to check the truth of the ghost story for myself.
No, my senses were speaking. There’s a secret I want to know down here.
Stories of missing children.
That overlaps with Venus information.
There must be some connection.
I wanted to find out that.
“Eck? But is it still okay?”
“How about asking them to show you the 15th floor up? I think that would be more realistic. Of course, this won’t work either.”
In my friends’ worries.
Ronica said to him.
“Not even the people of Magic Tower knew that I came here with King Caesar. That would be the same above the 15th floor.”
A place no one knows.
I need to find that place.
“Umm… surely. It’s similar to a ghost story in the fact that no one knows. If you want to find something, it might be better to look underground.”
Astradik responded lightly.
But most people still don’t understand. Therefore, the story about disappearance was also brought up.
“According to Venus information, those who recently disappeared from Leonis are presumed to have disappeared to the Magic Tower. This part matches what senior Felix said. Maybe it’s here.”
This time Aleph responded.
“Then… Maybe the ghost story is true. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to take a look.”
“Ha, but if you go in, you can’t come back!!… .”
“Ugh. Why is this senior so scared? Whatever you do, I will protect you.”
“You’re so scared!!… uh?… Protecting you?… Hmm… Shall we take a look?”
The atmosphere is gradually passing.
Aleph added the finishing touches here.
“Let’s also take a look. As Ronika said, the most likely location is underground. No, otherwise Myorin wouldn’t have done that.”
“Huh? Myorin?”
“… … What?… .”
Myorin, who was walking around alone in her room, tilted her head as she listened to her story.
“Why Myorin?”
“I was worried about it earlier, but ever since I got near the tower, I’ve been looking down. Maybe he noticed something.”
“Really? Myorin. Come on and transform!”
“Myowong… Myoot!!”
Paang!!!
“Did you call me?”
The human Myorin laughed lively.
Lapis began asking several questions to confirm Aleph’s words.
“Myorin. You have to speak well. Did you feel something underground?”
“Underground?… The waves I see for the first time are strange! It seems like the soft moonlight is calling someone. I was curious about that, so I kept looking.”
“Really!?”
“So, you said that Myorin can feel waves, right? There must be something underground that we can’t feel.”
“Then Myorin can find it!”
“Myorin. Can you do it?”
“Mmmmm… It will be possible with help!”
“Help?”
*
In the dark of night.
Under the reddish moon.
“Miao~”
“Jung!!~”
When Myorin let out a short cry outside the magic tower, small rats gathered around.
“Cat clothes!! Myo, my aaa!!”
“Squishy!!”
The rats scattered in all directions according to Myorin’s command, and began to run around looking for any hidden entrances or spaces.
Inside and outside the Magic Tower.
It doesn’t matter where.
The rats actively used their quick agility to dig into every crack and crevice.
“Cat clothes!”
Myorini watched the waves and actively directed the rats to look for suspicious places. About two hours passed like that.
“Sweet!!”
“What!?”
There was a response.
The rats found a suspicious underground space.
“Myohohoho!!”
Myorin smiled happily and immediately followed the reported rat and took a look.
Tadadat~
The place we arrived was a shabby stone house.
It was one of the houses where engineers lived on the outskirts of the Magic Tower branch, but strangely, the door to the house was locked and there was no sign of presence.
“Myoung!!”
Shock~
Fortunately, there was no problem.
There is a rat hole, so just cross through it.
“Squid!”
Then the rat scout pointed to a place.
Cracks in the corners of the house. The scout rat went straight into there and disappeared.
“No!!”
Myorin immediately went there too… … .
Ouch!
“Cat clothes!?… .”
I got stuck in a crack.
Unfortunately, the crack thickness is only the size of a fist.
It’s a size that only a mouse can’t cross.
This is only possible if the black cat changes into the form of a baby phantom. It was too much for Myorin.
“Myomuruk… .”
It’s time to feel sad about that.
Myorin looked forward with only her face closed.
It was hard to see because it was dark, but I realized that there was more space than I thought.
“Jeonjik!!”
The rats inside urge.
There’s a secret passage here.
“Myooh clothes!!”
Paaah!~
A wave flashed in front of Myorin.
It illuminates the front using light emitted at its own special wavelength.
So it was revealed.
A secret staircase leading to the basement!
“Myahah!!”
found!!
effervescence.
Finally, the mission was completed.
But even for a moment.
“Myo, myo… … .”
I don’t know how to get in here.
Even he himself can’t intervene like this, so is it possible that Ronika is in trouble?
Bong!~
I pulled my head out of the crack again.
Measures are needed. A way to get in and out of this place with everyone.
Think about it carefully for a moment.
Okay.
I looked around.
Of course, there was no one in sight.
blast furnace.
Wow!!
“Yay!! Make sure to find out!”
Transform into a human body.
I immediately started searching every corner of the house.
Everyone’s expectations are focused on Myorin. Lapis and Ronica, Astradic and Aleph. Everyone is looking at you!
Myorin likes this kind of attention.
I love all the gestures, including stroking and holding out treats.
If you solve this problem well, you can receive it in abundance. That’s why Myorin tried to find the entrance with a sense of mission on her face.
Softly, softly~
Twirl.
The ears and tail are constantly fluttering.
He wandered around the house, digging, touching, tearing, and tasting.
table.
shelf.
chair.
bed.
light.
a drawer.
And so on and so forth.
I searched the house diligently.
At that moment.
Let’s go.
“Puhhe… It doesn’t taste good.”
Tsk tsk tsk!!
Whoosh~
I found some potatoes in the kitchen, so I ate them and threw them away because they tasted terrible.
and.
puck!!
“mya?… Is that a cat?”
Something like a potato hit a wall lamp, causing the lamp to rotate about 30 degrees.
“… Happy New Year!!”
There was nothing to say.
Myorin quickly walked over and turned on the light, and the wall next to it opened with a creak.
I finally found it.
The epicenter of ghost stories.
*
“Did you really find it?”
“Mullon. Myahaha!!”
Magic Tower 4th floor.
Myorin, who returned to the dorm, proudly stuck out her chest and smiled loudly with her hands on her hips.
“Hurry up and say it! What was there?”
“Is there really an underground passage?”
Everyone is waiting for their story.
How could you not be happy?
“Muhihi… .”
But there was always someone who struck the candle.
Astridic picked his nose and tackled him as if he wasn’t expecting much.
“I went there, but isn’t there a mole house?”
“Mean… Myaaa!! I hate you!!!”
Pak!!
“Evil!?… .”
Anyway.
Myorini found the entrance and decided to lead the way to Ronica’s group.
“Just trust me and follow me~”
So, secretly move out of the magic tower.
Strangely, the people of the Magic Tower did not move around and did not encounter anyone. No, thanks to Myorin’s reconnaissance, it was easy to avoid people.
Easily move to the first floor using the Magic Tower stairs.
I escaped through the circular hallway window.
So, the Magic Tower branch.
“You can trust Myorin, right?”
“Myaa!! It goes without saying. This is the underground world that I found after going through so much trouble!!”
“But the moon is a bit dark today… .”
“It looks a little red?
Ronica’s group arrived at the house Myorin found, chatting lightly.
“It’s locked?”
“Muhohoho! Just lock it and wait!”
Paang~
Myorin, who had turned into a phantom beast, crawled into the mouse hole and transformed back into a human body.
Click.
I opened the door to the house.
“Lee Yeol~ Myorin is kind of amazing, right?”
“As expected, it’s Myorin! I’ll cook you something delicious when I get home. Is there anything you want to eat?”
“It’s all the bran!!”
“For now, shh. Let’s go in quietly.”
Aleph created a lively atmosphere, and Ronica entered first.
“Where is the underground entrance?”
“Here you go!”
Quirk~
Myorin turned the lamp 180 degrees.
Then what I thought was a wall opened like a door, revealing stairs leading down to the basement.
Finally, we face the stairs of truth.
but.
gulp.
“The door really opened?… .”
“… … Ooh, should we go here?”
“For some reason, it feels like there’s a ghost. Besides, it’s clear that if you go in, you won’t be able to come back… .”
Andrew and Lapis said that in fear.
To be honest, I looked for it, but I didn’t really discuss going in.
No, I was scared.
It’s because of Felix’s ghost story.
No one goes in and comes out again.
“So you’ve come this far and you’re not going in? There will be no chance other than now, right?”
“Still… I’m anxious.”
Lapis grumbles at Astradik’s words.
To be honest, Ronika wasn’t willing to do it either. Would you go in knowing what would be here?
but… .
“How about just taking a quick look?
It’s inevitable that you’ll be tempted by Aleph’s offer.
I’m curious.
What could be down here?
Is your guess correct?
… Does God exist?
blast furnace.
“Will Myorin scout out first this time?”
“What?”
“If there is nothing wrong, let’s go in and check a little before coming out. It will be okay in a few minutes.”
The underground exploration began.
*
Not long after Ronica’s group went underground.
smart.
“Huh?… .”
Felix, who had been reading a book alone in his room, tilted his head.
A sudden knock.
Who exactly is it?
I put the book down for a moment and opened the door.
Squeak~
“Who are you?”
“… haha. I am Arcedius.”
“Huh?… What’s going on, Mage Tower Lord?“
Arcedius.
He said with a grin, taking on the appearance of a thin old man rather than Caesar.
“Didn’t promising talents come on a field trip? I have something to ask you about them.”
“Oh, I see.”
“Don’t feel pressured. I’m just wondering if they were curious and asked something strange.“
“If it’s something strange… .”
“Isn’t this the age when you’re at the peak of curiosity? Was there any special conversation?”
Sigh.
Felix rested his chin on his hand.
After thinking about it carefully, he opened his mouth as if something came to mind.
“I remember asking about a man named Medis.”
“Medis… Did you even figure that out?”
“Yes?”
“No. He was a promising talent, so I invited him once. Was there anything else other than that?”
“Ah! I was very curious about the Magic Tower. For example, he was curious about what was above the 16th floor and whether there was a space that I didn’t know about.”
“So what did you say?”
“Umm… I just told you a ghost story. They say there is an underground world below.”
“Hehehe. I see.”
“By the way, while we’re at it, may I ask if there is an underground world? It’s a ghost story, but I was curious about it too.”
“Underworld… … Yes.”
“Yes?”
There was “. 80 years ago… They say there was a tomb of an ancient god built by someone who longed for god.”
“Ah… … .”
“Don’t worry. Because there is no ‘grave’ anymore.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“Okay… I’ll just leave now. Study moderately and go to bed early today.”
“Yes?… yes… … .”
Sreuk.
Caesar turned around.
A wry smile appeared on his face as he walked down the hallway.
“Originally, I was planning to attack them first, but it wasn’t enough for them to come on their own and they went in there on their own… I guess I can pass on the plan to destroy Venus.”
He originally planned to destroy Venus and Goliath by moving the gods.
If Ronika hadn’t come here.
But this was easily resolved.
It’s okay if it ends like this.
therefore… .
The underworld in a ghost story.
A place that was the tomb of the gods.
Caesar headed to his laboratory.
