Episode 583. ⑵[ But

why did you bring me along?]

“Aren’t you bored going alone?”

[…] … Huh?]

Cressel raised her voice as if it were absurd.

In fact, the intention of bringing this guy was because of the expectation that he might remember some clues if he took him with him.

Because he was the one who fought them about a thousand years ago. The structure of the city has changed greatly, but you never know.

Perhaps he guessed that much too, so he didn't ask anymore.

[Instead, Mr. Won't you listen to my request later?]

“I'll listen and decide later.”

If there is something coming, there must be something going. I decided to listen to the request or something later.

[By the way, who the hell sent it?]

“Nand, do you understand?”

I don't even know if I should ask that.

All that was written in the secret letter was the location of the dog hole to enter and the content inviting people to come.

“Anyway, I came here because I didn’t want to ignore it. If it's fake, you can just walk away, and if it's real, there's nothing better.”

[But you're not going to take the others? Reincarnated people from the south or others?]

“What are we going to do with them? Would you like to apply for a group tour? Then will he accept it?”

I guess this guy got it wrong.

“I have no intention of fighting. I'll just find out what I'll find out and fall for it. And listen to the person who sent this.”

Even if he succeeded in infiltrating by himself, he would not be the one to be assassinated.

It might be possible if I stabbed both of them with the momentum to kill them, but there is no reason for me to do that.

Don't be greedy to go there.

More than anything else, he is so pretty that I would risk my life to fight each other.

“First, let’s check if this map is correct.”

According to the map sent by the unknown guy, there is a dog hole that can be entered in an inconspicuous place.

“Well, it's only like this that normal guys can't even enter.”

It seemed that the dog hole was in the sea, at the bottom of this city.

Apparently, the city's structure resembled a kind of giant ship.

In other words, the whole city is floating on water.

And there seemed to be a passage at the bottom.

The problem is that the current here is unusually strong.

This is due to the influence by the appearance of the city.

And there are many dangerous creatures in the sea.

Because of this, most people would not be able to enter even if they knew of its existence.

‘I can see the intention of the guy who made this.'

If you don't have the ability to penetrate at least this much, you're probably going to get out of here.

“Anyway, I'm going to dive, so make up your mind.”

As I sighed, relaxed my limbs, and prepared to swim, Cressel, hanging from my back, groaned.

[Are you really going to enter… … Seawater is a bit It's embarrassing when salt touches the skull.]

“Don't talk nonsense, shut up. I am the one who swims.”

you can just hang on

And you don't even have to breathe.

Ignoring his complaints, I jumped into the sea.

The ocean current is strong, but that's about it. With my physical ability, it's possible to just go barefoot.

Following the map I had memorized in my head, I moved to the bottom of the city.

And I was able to fully grasp the shape of the barrier.

When I saw it from afar, I thought it was completely spherical, but when I dived, it was not.

The lower part is just precisely enclosing the floating city in a flat and distorted form.

‘But I can't go in like this.'

Having reached the bottom of the city, I looked around to find the dog hole.

I made a rough guess, but it must have been here.

‘… … Is there any?'

If you use magic to see ahead, it will be detected, so it is difficult to find more.

Would it hurt if you hit it blindly?

what the heck

[Brother… … It's a bit further to the right.]

Unlike me, Cressel pointed the direction correctly to see if he was looking forward.

Following his instructions, this time I headed a little further to the right and stretched out my hand.

Something worked and interfered, and some of the barriers disappeared.

All you can touch is the texture of ordinary rocks.

‘This is it.'

I shouted for joy and stuck my hand into the crack of the rock.

He grabbed the rock and pulled it.

‘Ughhh!'

Can not help it.

It's not even a door that opens when you push it.

This is nothing more than a forcibly fitted rock.

Let's just pull out the rock.

Seawater is sucked through the empty space.

You won't be able to find your way with this.

I just swam into the aisle.

After swimming for a while, I finally saw the end.

When I put my head out of the water, the musty air unique to the underground welcomes me.

“Whoa! … … I really don't want to go out to play near the sea for a while!”

It seemed that a human being would have been hurt by this swimming for the rest of his life.

Although it is unlikely that normal humans will be able to swim in the deep sea.

“It's a passage made unexpectedly deliberately.”

The water level at which seawater will be sucked in by the water pressure when it is opened and entered is also calculated in advance.

The guy who made this must have been quite resourceful.

… … Even so, I mean, I did it.

[Doesn't that passage need to be blocked?]

“It doesn't matter. It's annoying too. It’s disposable anyway.”

Once you go into hiding, there's no way even those guys won't notice the change.

It will probably be blocked when you visit later.

So, there is no regret.

“It's useless, let's find something to find first.”

The existence of the dog hole turned out to be true.

If so, it means that there is a guy who really wants to call me here.

After passing through the passage, we arrived at a building on the outskirts of the city.

I didn't feel like it was popular, probably because I didn't use it.

[By the way, bro? Where did you decide to meet?]

“Ah… … That's what you mean.”

In fact, the real embarrassing thing is from now on.

“There is no specific meeting place or anything designated.”

[…] … .]

I understand that you are stumped.

The only thing written down was the existence of the passage and the nuanced words encouraging people to come.

It's not even about meeting in person.

[…] … Well, you've come this far with just that.]

“Originally, it's human nature to want to ask if there's a bait.”

[He lives like a fish]

Flutter.

It's such a crazy life.

“Anyway, it’s my perception of the public, but I wonder what would happen if I walked around in moderation.”

“If you can't meet the person who sent the secret letter, that's enough. Instead, you just need to gather information. We're already in, now it's on my own!

Then there's nothing to lose, right?”

Therefore, I wanted to first check what was happening here.

To do that... … ?

‘I'll have to go to the place where the most suspicious things are supposed to be... …

It's a suspicious place.

I set my eyes on the most suspicious places.

I decided on my destination while staring at the castle in the center of the city, where I had met him last time.

‘They say there's no Harial now?'

Currently, Harial gathered the humans who supported him and seemed to be plotting something.

This means that the current owner does not exist.

So you have to pick out the main money and eat it.

The destination has been set.

Then, the only thing left to do is to slowly move forward.

never in a hurry

That is my Arel's dignity.

I headed to the place where I bought a place to eat with precise steps.

“That's why I'm bothered by the Taiyaki-like stuff that's sold over there. oh! The fresh cream bread you see over there is also on my mind.”

Hmm? I'll have to spy on this properly.

Just as a sparrow cannot pass by a mill, it never simply passes by a place where there is sugar. If you know my personality and arrange these various snacks, I have no choice but to acknowledge him for the first time.

The level of food is quite high, perhaps because the desire for taste still remains among the reincarnated people here.

These kids have been really naughty.

“… … Well well. Quite the way. Pretty sweet.”

[…] … Are you here to play bro? You're a complete tourist.]

Cressel, whom I had hidden in the bundle I carried on my back, murmured something absurd.

“How are you? You don't have to take spying seriously.”

You don't have to wear a paper box to sneak around and sneak around.

Rather, act boldly.

If you get caught, it's something to think about then.

Still, I'm not shameless enough to show my face openly, so I deliberately changed my hair color and impression.

Cressel just stole a bundle and stuffed it in.

[Is there really no problem?]

“There are more ordinary people here who don't know anything. They don’t even recognize my true identity.”

In terms of population, more than 80% of the city's population is just ordinary people.

Even now, the sight unfolding in front of my eyes is just their lives as normal as anywhere else.

Going out, chatting, eating... … .

[…] … You really are a normal human being.]

“Last time I only glanced at it, but… … Surprisingly, this place functions properly as a city.”

That's because it seems to have endured outside the atmosphere far away in the sky to hide the reality.

Its function as a city would be ideal.

[Mmm… … .]

“Why?”

While looking around, I realized something was wrong with Cressel.

“You're not complaining that you get motion sickness, are you?”

[I'd like to say that, but that's not it. Rather... … If what I see now is correct, they... … .]

“Huh? them?”

What he mentioned must be referring to the citizens who live here now.

“Why are they?”

[If what I saw is correct, the sister who just passed by us must be a descendant of the Eltena kingdom. And the old man sitting on the bench right now seems to be of Selkin Empire blood. You can tell them apart because they inherited a slightly peculiar constitution from their ancestors. I forgot, but I remember seeing it myself.]

The names of the two countries do not exist on the current continent.

where did i see that... … .

“Is this a country that existed a thousand years ago?”

[It's a country that was destroyed during the war with Herial Gnome a thousand years ago... … I definitely thought that all races there had been destroyed... … ?]

“The descendants of the race that would have been destroyed by him… … You are living here.”

That's something I didn't even notice.

It is a fact that I learned because there is Cressel, who has memories of the time.

It will be destroyed and reaped.

That's not a very nice thing to hear.

“You’re living a good life.”

[They probably don't know what happened a thousand years ago.]

“I guess so.”

Or does it matter if you know

They rely on their reincarnated people for everything.

Receive what they give and ask them if you have any trouble.

Extreme convenience.

People who have become indolent as they become indolent.

Perhaps they have neither the ability to overcome adversity nor the courage to face it.

It can be said that they are those who have fallen as soon as their immunity in life has fallen.

[…] … Don't like it? After all, doesn't it look right from the older brother's point of view?]

“It's a difference in thought. I like doing things my own way, but I don't like it too much when I imprison myself like this.”

What is the difference between rearing and breeding?

[But wouldn’t they be happy with just that?]

“Unexpected. Are you siding with them?”

[It's true, they probably won't have to worry about dying from disease or starvation]

“Umm??????

I understand.

There will be no despair for those who are here. There will be no pain.

But what about outside?

It is freedom, but it also comes with hardships and responsibilities.

Where are you really happy?

Is it a breeding ground where everything comes out?

Is it the outside world where you have to solve everything on your own?

It's a hard problem.
