Chapter 49 (Teleportation Device)
Kyurie-san rushes up toward me and then get down on her knee.
And then she began to examine my cut up cuirass armor and exploration uniform.
"Are you alright ?"
Then she looking at me while being uneasy.
After looking at Kyurie-san, I breath out a sigh of relief.
"... I'm glad."
"What is it ? you're feeling relieved because I've come ?"
"I'm relieved that Kyurie-san is alright..."
She shows an expression as if she don't know what to say for an instant.
"At the time when we're being divided by the wall remember ? at that time, I heard a strong explosion sound from the opposite side of the wall... by any chance, is Kyurie-san being attacked by a strong monster, or so that was what I thought."
Ah, Kyurie-san shows being consent from my answer.
"That is, at that time I was trying to crush the wall using magic, but... well, though it was unlike myself, I feel a little bit upset at that time. and yet after that, after I find a way to arrived at your place, I can't find you there."
Huh ?
"There's no hole on the floor ?"
"A hole ?"
"... you didn't see any ?"
"Yes... I didn't see any hole, but..."
I see...
So after I fall down, the hole is being closed up, is that how it is ?
.......................
"So... are you alright ?"
"Well yes, somehow ... thanks to Cecil-san, my wounds had been healed."
"Cecilー"
Kyurie-san looked up at Cecil-san.
"Thank you. for you to come, I'm really glad..."
While having a complicated smile, Cecil-san responded,
"... You're really strong aren't you."
"Nn ? Strong ?"
"Ah no, please don't mind it... being able to save Kurohiko, I also feel relieved you know ?"
"You guys too, thank you."
Kyurie-san also express her gratitude toward Zix-san and Hirgiz-san.
"Yes..."
"... Sure."
The two people which being thanked gives small nods.
After that, looking at my direction Kyurie-san floats a smile filled with irony.
"However, for someone to be worried about me... this is such a rare experience."
Currently, Kyurie-san is like a teacher to me.
And she also much stronger than I do.
For me being worried about her, was it presumptuous of me ?...
"I-I'm sorry."
"Don't apologize stupid. ... emm, how should I say it... that is not something bad after all."
Kyurie-san scratches her cheek, while turning her line of sight away.
*Jii* looking at the scene in front of her, Cecil-san cleared her throat while creating *Ahem* sound.
The movement of Kyurie-san finger scratching her cheek stopped.
"Ah... w-well, more importantly, why are you inside the fifth layer ? are you able defeated the strong guardian monster ?"
"T-The truth is..."
I told everyone what had happened to me.
Having the floor collapsed, then arrived inside a weird room.
And then defeating a monster in search of an exit, and one way or other, I've arrived in this place.
After explained all of that,
"Well, it was a close call, though... but well, I do have a forbidden spell after all..."
I hurriedly changed the end by using a light tone.
"Anyway... It seems like Cecil-san and the other have been searching for me, but..."
"About that, let me explain it."
Cecil-san raised her hand a little.
Based on Cecil-san explanation, it seems like at the time I and Kyurie-san arrived at the fourth layer, Cecil-san, and the others also arrived in the fourth layer.
At the time when the earthquake happens, they seem to be discussing things in front of the guardian monster room.
Then after the earthquake, they decide to aim at searching the teleport device.
On the way, they meet Kyurie-san which in the middle of a hurry.
After listening to the story which I'd disappeared, Cecil-san suggests that they help to search.
Then immediately after that, they began searching.
Kyurie-san and Zix-san searching within the fourth layer.
Then finally they confirmed whether I've returned the rental items I'd borrowed at the sacred ruin assembly hall.
And then, finding out from the people in the open space if they've seen someone like me.
After that, if I seem not yet returned, they will join Cecil-san and the other searching the fifth layers and bellow.
On the other side, Cecil-san and Hirgiz-san were searching for me from the fourth layer onward.
The two of them will search for me up to the seventh layer, after that they will meet up with Kyurie-san and Zix-san, then decide on the limit where to look.
After Cecil-san proposing such plan for searching me, they immediately begin searching.
Then, unexpectedly Cecil-san found me early.
And then, Zix-san who at the time are inside the second layer, his ring emit some light toward Cecil-san (they make this as a signal when they've found me), being guided by the ring, he and Kyurie-san moving in a hurry toward this place.
By the way about the guardian type monster 『Guardian Ogree』, the two of them can easily defeat it.
"....................."
Everyone seems to take action without showing any hesitation.
With this... I feel like being thankful is not enough.
This debt, I have to return it somehow.
"Thank you very much. really, how should Iー #@&# !?"
Kyurie-san embrace me.
"I'm thankful to Cecil and the other... and you too should be thankful toward them, however, you don't have to feel thankful toward me."
"Kyurie-saー"
*Gyuu* Her power hugging me grew stronger.
"... I'm sorry... if only I were being more careful... if only I were more faster at noticing the irregularity. much less saving you."
"Emm, Kyurie...-sanー"
"That's why you don't have to worry about it. you did not do something wrong."
"Emmー"
"It's alright, you don't have to mind it."
"... Well, even if you says to not mind..."
Having Kyurie-san worried about me, of course, I'm happy.
And I'm very thankful for it.
"..................."
But, however... my face is...
Because of my position is sitting down...
... in other words, well...
My face is currently buried on her c-chest...
I'm trying to send a message toward Cecil-san who looking toward here that this is goodー, no I mean, somehow, this is bad...
"Kyurie... can I have a moment ?"
"... what is it Cecil ?"
"........................."
"..........................."
"It looks to me that Kurohiko is suffering because you hug him too strong."
"Mu~... Is that so ?"
Listening to Cecil-san words, Kyurie-san relaxing her force.
"I'm sorry..."
"No... it's alright... wait... eh!?"
Wait, I'm being hugged again !?
This time, my chest and K-Kyurie-san chest is...
"Kyurie ! T-That kind of thing is... that kindー"
Trembling all over, Cecil-san shoulders shivered greatly.
"Nn ? This time, I didn't use any force, though ?"
From her voice tone... there's no implication.
I feel it is purely a questioning voice.
In other words... she's basically feeling glad that we meet again, and nothing more, I guess ?
The strong embrace before indicating that she's really happy... however, this kind of gentle hug is, somehow will create some question...
"K-Kyurie-san ! Anyway, let's search for a way back to the surface ! though with this member there won't be any problem with monsters, however, if there's another earthquake it would be bad after all!"
"Just like what Kurohiko said, Kyurie ! let's move immediately ! hurry up and separaー stand up please !"
Cecil-san gives me a follow-up.
"Nn, that's true..."
Kyurie-san then stands up.
"The teleport device room, Zix have found them a while ago. let's head back immediately."
Somehow or other we're able to move...
Anyhow, we decide to return to above ground at once.
After we decide to go back via teleport device, Kyurie-san and Cecil-san began discussing which one among them who going to lend me a shoulder, since I've lost all my strength to walk.
By the way in the meantime.
While folding their arm, Zix-san and Hirgiz-san looking at the scene.
I then heard the conversation of the two people.
Zix-san with an astonished face.
While Hirgiz-san starring with patience.
"Cecil-sama... she seems different lately isn't she...?"
"... Or rather, she has turned back to her true self, probably..."
