TL: clover

ED: clover

We went down the stairs following the past Ann thatusing the Urd Sight

This was the eighth layer

How far would we go down?

We went down to the next layer as usual, starting fro staircase

However, the scene ahead was completely different from e had seen in Ruins of Visitor so far

It was full of the scent of death

When we arrived, dead bodies of unfamiliar creatures were scattered about everywhere

Blood covered beasts, chopped reptiles, crushed huge bugs

Multipod monsters that had become charred, plenty of chopped meat—

I felt dizzy

It was fortunate that we had not been exposed to such bad odor, as they had been subjected to simple preservation treatment

There was no ani the corpses, and it was fortunate that all the other ular shapes

Otherwise, I ht not have been able to suppress the nausea

Two filters, olfaction and vision, changed the scenery into an iame or a realistic movie

You were useful in unexpected places, game brain

Those thoughts werescene, keeping

”Uh……, are you alright, Erika?”

”I'ht, but I will be fine What about Klaus-sama?”

”I' to the sa rid of monsters……”

”Your speech is beco messy, Klaus-sama”

It was nice to have a conversation with a friend

Shocking videos, too, were surprisingly less da when you watch them with other people

But thatit harder than us—

”Let's hurry Ann should be there”

”Yes I'm sure she would find it hard to feel fine”

Most of the pillars were knocked down, large holes were opened all over the walls

Mechanisears to ed parts

It was a trace where the power of terrible destruction was demonstrated

”This is why your older brother accumulated so much money”

”These monsters were his opponents”

”Although I intended to be arhtened when I think that all these carcasses were living and ”

When Klaus said that, shi+vers also ran over my spine

What if the group of Edward-oniisama had not wiped out these monsters?

I didn't knoould happen to the three of us

The reason why the Ruins of Visitor was said to be the erous area in Aurelia territory was finally felt by our skin

How long had we been walking around?

Thanks to the creepy er than the actual search time

It felt like Edward-oniisauided us toward this situation

We stopped in front of a room

At the entrance of the rooht Gallnut Ink

”'Do not step on the stars Otherwise'…huh? It disappears?”

”It seeht now The first roas 'Do not step on the stars', wasn't it?”

”It seems that way, but…”

”I don't knoill happen if we step on it, but I haven't seen the mark of stars yet in this layer, so I think we're safe for now”

With Onii-sa was the first time, so I felt a bit nervous

When going in and out of the rooht have to observe carefully whether there was a ht

In addition, since the Levitation effect ti the wand……

When I thought about such a thing, Klaus suddenly crouched on the spot and started to investigate so

”Klaus-sama, is it a mark of a star?”

”No, it's not……This is the eastern spell card Magic of Alare and increased accuracy……That's how this spell works”

Klaus suddenly stood up, stepping over the spot where the spell was casted, and took a step into the room

”……Ann! Are you there!?”

It was a room with relatively few traces of destruction

A s at the other side of Klaus

She noticed us and raised her face

Oh, good……we came in time……!

”……Klaus-oniisama? ……Ericsama!?”

The lairl who looks like Klaus

Ann Harvan's face was ghastly pale with fatigue and fear

I could see how hard this had been for her, just by looking at her face

There were traces of tears tracks on Ann's cheeks

But the tears that flowed down her cheeks noere different from other tears

Klaus ran to Ann and hugged her

Ann also hugged Klaus back

”Onii-sama……Onii-sama! ……Onii-sama, you idiot!”

”……It was bad I was bad Ann, I caused you a bitter hardshi+p”

”I was lonely……I was really scared, you know……?”

”Aah, I'm really sorry”

It was probably because Ann's tension thread broke after she joined Klaus

She burst into tears with a loud voice

Klaus gently stroked Ann's head with a gentle face that I had never seen before

While being stroked, Ann returned it with a warm-hearted punch like a spoiled child

”I'lad you're okay……I orried all the time”

”Mou…… Ericsama!”

”Aah, it's all erous ruins in order to stop me?”

”—Eh?”

”……Hm?”

”Ah—, yes That's right I tried to bring you back without telling Otou-sama Please appreciate it”

”I see You used your mind……”

Ann……your eyes were swi……

That's right I felt that way fro

If it was only to stop Klaus, she could stop hiic

As we talked about it during the dinner party, I wondered if her interest in the ruins came to her at that time

These people were really siblings

Once she finished crying, Ann left Klaus

She wiped away her tears, stretched her spine and faced me

”Ericsa caused you trouble”

”I'lad”

”Ericsama……”

I cleaned the face of Ann who had fallen apart again with a beautiful handkerchief

Her expression, it changed to the same smile as when I saw it in Knot Garden

With this, I was finally at ease

(I had a bad feeling e arrived at this layer, but it seems to end in peace safely~~!!)

If the three of us could escape fro would have been successfully avoided–!

After this, it was a si up with Levitation, going through the transfer gate, and then sleep

Aah, there was also a ser to bed…but co six years in the future, it was overwhelly better!

Klaus took out the ical recovery potions and let her drink it

Ann also lostthe ruins

Rather, it was aical power so far by herself

The fact that her precision ic, was compatible with the characteristics of the labyrinth

Now then, the excursion was an excursion until ent home

It slipped through my mind now that we had joined with Ann, but I didn't knoould happen on our way home

First of all, until Ann could move, ould rest in this room—

”Hmm?”

Since a little while ago, I thought that thesounds of the mechanical labyrinth would be done

This sound was the sound that I heard frequently since entering the Ruins of Visitor

Therefore, I got used to it, and it was kept away from my consciousness

But, so?

I looked back to the here we came from

There was no particular change

However, there were ruins devastated by battle and many dead bodies

”What's wrong, Erica?”

”No……so……”

Far fro louder and louder

So closer

”By the way, Onii-sa time, but what is that?”

”'That'?

”Yes I think that it is Moonlight Gallnut Ink……”

”Ha!? Erica! Hide the lamp!”

Klaus looked at the direction pointed by Ann, shouting like in a hurry

He covered the lamp attached to his staff with the sleeve of his robe

I also i

—Indeed, in the outside world the clouds that were covering the moon seemed to have cleared up

A light bluish golden light shone on the whole floor of the room

We were standing above the starry sky draith Moonlight Gallnut Ink

In e written at the entrance came to my mind

Do not step on the stars Otherwise— Otherwise, ould happen?

Fearfully, I shi+fted my shoes

There was a mark of a star in the place where my shoes had stepped on

Uwah, I, I was too lucky!?

”Ann! Erica! Hands–!”

The cru sound of the stones obstructed Klaus' cry

The field of view tilted obliquely

No, it was the floor of the labyrinth that was inclined

I could see the hard stone floor swelling like a stormy sea
