377 Trap? Or...
I had a vague idea, but when I entered the large hole, my view was blocked by purple-black smoke, making it impossible to see several meters ahead.
"The miasma is so thick that I can't see anything. What do you all think?"
"Visibility is a little poor."
"It's not enough to interfere with the battle."
"My concubine is fine too."
“Luciel-kun, you should secure your vision without forcing yourself.”
It seems that everyone's visibility is a little poor.
Rumina-san's suggestion is kind and I'm happy, but if that's the case, I feel like it would be better to ignore my visibility problem and move on.
The reason for this was that the monsters, demons, and knights had not appeared since they entered the big hole.
"I see. I can't see, so I want to make sure I can see. However, I feel that there is a high possibility that demons and demons will come flooding in by purifying the miasma, so let's continue as is."
However, this decision of mine will soon be overturned by my master.
"In that case, you should just refuse and quickly secure your line of sight. Before long, monsters and demons will appear even if you don't like them, and there's a possibility that they will become weaker."
Master gave me a shout.
Still, I remembered the evil god, so I thought it would be better to proceed with caution.
"That's true, but..."
“Then quickly secure your visibility.”
"Understood……"
However, losing to my master's irresistible force, I activated a purification wave to get rid of the miasma, but thinking that one time was still not enough, I activated a second purification wave.
Lionel is explaining my personality to Pope-sama and Rumina-san.
"As you can see, no matter how strong you become, you don't want to fight in vain, so you have to be careful, Luciel-sama."
"I understand that, but I think the ideal role of a leader is to lead the way. Luciel should already have that power and authority."
I couldn't be natural at all in Yennis because I was too conscious of my superior position, and I no longer want to be in a position where I wield power.
"I see... It seems that the Pope is thinking of Lord Leinster and Luciel. What do you think of the Holy Knight?"
"I...I saw him never give up and save me even in the most hopeless situation. That's why I feel confident that I can trust him with my back..."
I heard Rumina's voice and my back felt a little itchy.
"I'm sure the Pope, who knows Lord Rainstar, will find Luciel-sama unsatisfactory or disgusted. However, if he sees Luciel-sama fighting against the evil god, he will change his mind. That's right, Luciel-sama."
When Lionel asked me to talk to him, I was able to convey my personality and at the same time learn about myself.ridiculeTeasingI found out that it was.
"I don't know if you'll change your mind, but I promise I won't give up on saving you. Now, let's move on while the miasma fades."
When I said that and started walking, we naturally fell into a formation with Master and Lionel walking in front of me, Pope walking a little ahead of me, and Rumina-san walking next to me.
Even so, I thought that the large hole that was the source of the miasma was definitely a labyrinth, but it seemed like the miasma was just thick and continued into the hallway of the castle.
However, my master seemed to notice a slight change that I didn't notice, and after we had walked a little, he raised his hand to stop us, then crouched down on the spot, and looked into us with his face parallel to the ground.
Then, after confirming something, he stood up, raised his sword, and fired a slash that flew forward, and after waiting to see where the slash would go, he checked his surroundings and opened his mouth.
"It seems like he's already caught in a trap of some kind of genjutsu or something."
“But Master, the light of the magic tool continues on without change, right?”
“That’s not the case, it means that it may not already be inside the castle of the Duchy of Brange.”
I listened to my master's words and carefully checked my surroundings, but I couldn't notice any changes.
The same was true for Lionel and the Pope.
"It's true that there is a slight feeling of discomfort. However, it is hard to determine what is wrong..."
However, Rumina-san seemed to be different, and that was when she expressed her discomfort.
The sound of something like metal scraping can be heard from a distance.
"Well, for now, you're a customer."
Hearing their master's words, everyone prepares for battle, but what emerges are knights wearing this country's knight armor.
However, unlike before, there was no miasma wrapped around them, and they approached defenselessly while chatting.
We were frozen in place due to the unusual situation, but the knights passed by us as if they couldn't see us.
“What about the current knights?”
"It seems like they couldn't see us, but that's probably not the only reason."
"Ah. It's obviously abnormal, including the fact that you can't even hear the sound of the slash I fired colliding with you."
So I decided to ask my master what it was that made him feel uncomfortable.
“Master, why did you think you were caught in a trap?”
"Luciel purified the miasma, right? So I thought the inside of the castle would be clean, but there were some places that were dirty."
"That may be strange, but..."
It's possible that the dirt didn't come off because of the miasma, and I felt like it was a bit far-fetched.
"But I can't see any signs of deterioration anywhere."
"But if you're a dwarf..."
But there was something that got in the way of my thoughts.
"Did you notice? That's right. Since this country is a supremacist of the human race, they shouldn't have allowed anyone other than the human race to touch the castle, which is the symbol of the country."
"There's no possibility that slaves were helping..."
That's when I noticed something strange about my master.
"Ah. In the first place, until we came here, there wasn't a single part of the castle that had been reinforced enough to not be destroyed."
The possibility that Master and Lionel destroyed it with attack power that exceeded the reinforcement was also a mistake. But that's probably why the master tried firing a slash just to confirm.
“Perhaps this is the Duchy of Brange in the past.”
Then, the Pope muttered with a thoughtful look on his face.
"In the past... But what about when the knights didn't react?"
"There wasn't enough explanation. It means that the concubines are being shown scenes from the past."
"But then why would the evil god do something like this... No, there's no point in even thinking about it here. If we follow this light, we should be able to find the truth."
Everyone nodded at my words and decided that what we could do for now was follow the light that the magic tool guided.
Then, as I walked down a long hallway, I saw people who looked like civil servants hurrying somewhere, people who looked like nobles in luxurious decorations chatting, young ladies wearing glittering costumes, and children playing around. I saw a maid chasing after it.
However, they couldn't see us, couldn't hear us, and couldn't touch us.
I had no idea what the evil god was aiming for, but I was sure that the peaceful daily life of the Principality of Brange was there, and I followed the light with complicated thoughts, until a large door that blocked the light appeared in front of me.
Thank you for reading.
