Chapter 120 (1/2)

The Preceding Hero and the Preceding Saint

「I am sure that you have already noticed but……The weather outside has becoe due to me」

Heading towards the labyrinth's 31st underground floor, we descended down the long staircase

With the Vampire Princess Paimon as the lead, the order was es and Silber, and then Fiona

「Well, I'm sure it is」

It was only intuition, but having felt so any particular surprise

「I had just woken up, you see……Even though I tried to fix the cru time since I had handled Maryoku, so I was in a bind」

Is she seriously saying that she was only waking up when it has been over teeks since all of this started happening……As usual, the Mazoku's scale is huge

「In order to regain e to carry out your duty ……Kikiki!」

When we descended the stairway that was long enough to h for two or three floors worth of stairs?”, we suddenly saw the exit

「Duty? ……Wait, what, is this?」

Having descended the long stairway and reaching the 31st floor, what spread out before our eyes was a room with enormous airspace and black walls that spread out and filled up our field of vision

It was a roo to the next floor, and nobut black walls possessing a luster like that of polished stone

No, what is this? So is on the wall……

「? ……What could this be? There is so on the walls……っ!? Th, these are, Sacred Letters These are Sacred Letters, Yashi+ro-san!」

Having noticed that there were letters carved into the black walls, Bernadette ran up to a wall, and raised her voice

「Sacred Letters? What is that?」

Hearing about the Sacred Letters, Angelica tilted her head

「It's one of the old es that are hard to learn, and the ones that try to memorize it exclusively only the people of the church By the way, I can't read them」

And then, the ic systehost, it's a h to be a head above the rest

「That's right, ……The rooraved with 『Sacred Letters』 ……This place is, the innerreat labyrinth」

Monolith……It's a stonelike a relic and is occasionally excavated

Inscribed contents are varied, fro that a person from the ancient days wrote

They are manmade structures with historical value

A room surrounded with such monoliths……Just what is written on them?

「Although not everything has been explained yet, I do understand that this labyrinth is sealing equipment that contains the 『Evil Deity』」

Ahh, coh weaker than the Demon Lord, it was a troublesome opponent that needed to be contained……

「More accurately, it would be correct to say that it ”was” sealed」

「Was sealed? ……Then, right now, the Evil Deity isn't here?」

「Uone was me after all ……Kiki!」

Distorting her pretty face, the corners of her reatly raised

「Crossing over a time of a thousand years, you have done well to appear before e of the miko, release me from this seal, and capitulate to my command!!」

With tension that looked like a Baba-n! sound effect would go ith it, Paimon declared that ……But,

「No way, that's such a pain」

Of course, there's no way I would accept that

「Fue!? Wh, why?」

「Even if you ask ree to that after suddenly being told that」

When I refused, Paie, she became flustered and made a face that looked like she would cry at any moment now

「I, I mean! Sora had said that she would take me out of here, you know!?」

「I don't know anything about that! Rather, who is this Sora?」

「You know not of Sora either, you fool! You are her descendant, are you not!」

「Descendant……Right, that Why do I have to be that Sora guy's descendant?」

We cae of thelike that ain with, I'm not from Reynbrook and was born in Earth's japan

「Ya, Yashi+ro-san……Do you not know of 『Sora』-sama!?」

「Eh……Is she that famous?」
