“Chapter 85: Night of the Astray 2”
– Phew, I almost didn’t make it.
Despite Letty’s little scene I managed to get to the toilet in time.
The toilet wasn’t flushing like a human one. It just had a hole. I’m not sure how the sewage system works or if they even have one.
– I should stop thinking about it.
Before my mind reached unwanted places, I took another look at the note and came back the way I got here.
– It’s really cold in here huh…
The castle is inhabited by the undead so the temperature has probably never been an issue before.
I wish there was something to keep me warm-
– GWOOOOOOOOHH
– HYEGH!?
A skull appeared right in front of my eyes. The red circles in its eye sockets were staring at my soul.
– Oo. This. Possible? Takaya-sama?
– Huh? Oh, wait. Werg? Is that you?
– Ye. That one. Werg. I patrol for Mumuruu-sama.
I only recognized him because of his silver crown.
– What wrong, Takaya-sama? Room far.
– What? Mumuruu’s notes said this was the shortest path back to the rooms…
I looked past Werg and saw stairs that should NOT be there according to the note.
– Oh.
Mumuruu’s notes only say “And here you turn right” or “Left this way”. It does not say anything about a staircase with a lever on the side.
– Werg-san, by any chance, do the corridors in the castle change according to the time?
– Yes. Just change now.
As a fortress, it would be meaningless if intruders knew the structure’s layout, so the corridors are constantly changing.
Well, I’m lost.
I should’ve accepted Letty’s help, even if at the cost of my virginity.
– Worry don’t. I lost too. Happen often. Michael. Big Brother. Lose too. Very.
– Ah, right.
This sack of bones won’t be of any help.
NOW I’m lost for sure.
– Uh, let’s see if I can find the right path.
I could just stop here and wait for Letty and Mumuruu to look for me, but I’m too scared to stay here.
I kept hearing a rumbling sound coming from the toilet. And I didn’t want to find out what it was.
I decided to walk up the stairs that just appeared in front of me.
