After finishing preparing we together with 5 ăRakshadiană elite mages set forth towards the underground passage below the ăancient Libraryă.
ăBut you know, who knew there was a place like this under the libraryă Kazuha
I utter to Tao while leading the expedition.
ăI too am a from here but⊠even in the ancient times this place was surrounded with puzzles⊠And itâs not like finding a ăsecret underground passageă is surprisingă Tao
Hee, is that so?
ăEven so this cave has a weird atmosphere surrounding it⊠Iâve been feeling something weird from the heart of this caveâŠă Ruru
Said Ruru whoâs following Tao.
ăP-please donât suddenly say such scary things, Ruru-chanâŠ! Iâm not very good in dealing with these kind of conversationâŠ!ă Tao
So youâre a former thief afraid of a ghostâŠ
Didnât you guys did lots of damage to gravesâŠ?
ăIt seems like ⊠the people from the back are properly following. But whatever the case, this is a very small placeâŠă Ruru
The smallest girl expressed that the underground passage was ăsmallă.
For some reason, if we were to further open the ăsealed dooră, the place would pretty much widen or notâŠ
Ah, by the way weâre walking the underground passage in a line.
Iâm the one in the front followed by Tao, Ruru, 5 mages, Selen and Rei proceeding like a train.
ăAh. I think I see somethingă Kazuha
I point the torch forward, and see a door with some weird crest carved on it.
ăAah, mage-san! Is this it?ă Kazuha
I call upon the 5 mages behind Ruru. (1)
And then baton pass.
ăâŠIs it ok? After unsealing this the a fearful demon will appear and attack. Please prepare yourselfâŠă Mage
ăYup, I think weâre all good. Cause weâre stupidly strongă Kazuha
ăI-I see⊠Now then⊠Here we go!ă Mage
The mages chant magic at once, and then fires it toward the door.
And at the same time a flock of big black snakes crawl out of the door with staggering vigor.
ăHere it comesââ! Here comes the giant snakesâââ-!!ă
ăGYAOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooonnn!!!!ă
My delight and the snakesâ roar echoed within the cave.
ăTao, Ruru Iâm counting on the both of ya. Hey! Both of you at the back! Can I destroy this thing myselfâ!ă Kazuha
ă⊠My, my? The door is open, huh! Kazuha-samaa!!ă Rei
ă⊠Damn, Itâs so small that I canât see! Do something about those snakes by yourself, Kazuha!ă Selen
Yeah.
In a way, itâs amazing, us the mercenary party.
ăHiiâŠ! H-hurry and defeat that demonâŠ!ă Mage
Uttered by the really scared mages.
Ah, but I guess thatâs the norm.
This monster is probably mid level boss.
I ready my very very heavy ăZwei Handeră and push the snakes in the door.
ăAh, can you close the door,mages-san?ă Kazuha
ăEh? ⊠Ah, okay! Without a moment to waste!ă Mage
Iâve glanced at the seam of the snake and, sure enough this place was big.
So rather than protecting the mages in a small and cramped place Iâd rather enter here and fight that big snake making it much better.
ăNishishi. Now thenâŠ. Iâm gonna go violent, since quite a while! Kazuha-chanâȘă (?)
ă»ă»ă»
ââAfter 3 minutes.
ăOi, Iâm through. You can open the door nowă Kazuha
ăAh⊠U-understood! Weâre gonna open it now!ă Mage
Then the door open.
Everyone has dumbfounded expression.
ă⊠Did Kazuha do this all aloneâŠ? ă Tao
ă⊠I canât believe it⊠Itâs only a hunch but⊠the strength of the demons here isâŠă Ruru
ă⊠Aah. IS probably much ăstrongeră⊠than the ădemonsă from the demon castleă Selen
ăHaaan/// No less from my Kazuha-samaaaa/// I⊠already feel indulged to youâŠ! ///ă Rei
⊠Iâll ignore that last one, I know that everyone was surprised.
Cause the snakes all in all were about 30âŠ
ăBut you know, I still havenât got the hang of using ăgreat swordă. In the end I had to ărely on magică which is really frustratingă Kazuha
My magicâs skill level has long since it achieved the highest level.
It would be better if I was able to defeat all of it with only ăgreat swordă but things didnât go my way.
ăErr⊠It seems like the dungeon passage is too rugged, I thinkâŠă Mage
Oh my, I think theyâre really afraid of me.
I shouldnât have flaunted that much of power, they might report me to the prime ministerâŠ
Guess itâs better not to stand out âtil Iâve made a countryâŠ
ăRei-san, Selen. Iâm tired so Iâll rest. Change with meă Kazuha
I said then moved towards the back.
ăâKay~âȘ I understand, Kazuha-samaaâȘ Then I will protect Kazuha-sama with all my mightâȘă Rei
ăKuku⊠ăTiredă huhâŠ? Donât make me laughâŠ! In your case itâs either ăyou gave upă or ăyou donât want to stand outăă Selen (2)
I hate the sharp Selen-san.
â Then we, gradually moved towards the ăsealed roomă in the innermost part.
