Chapter 53 (1/2)

Chapter 53 – A double, triple-fold trap desu

“Open it if you can.”

Those taunting words are written in the napping room's door.

Since something like that is written, the Great Sage should not have any complaints even if the door was destroyed.

Nonetheless, destroying it with a kick has a low girl's power.

Laura decided that she would break the barrier gracefully as one of the girls.

「First is a.n.a.lyzing it」

Laura placed her hand at the door like Charlotte from earlier and closed her eyes.

She makes her magic powers flow into the door and read the engraved formula.

Doing that, a magic circle of complex and mysterious appearance appeared inside her head.

「Uu……」

Laura could not help but moan.

It is finer and efficient than whatever magic circle is written in the textbooks.

Something that could be called as art is written in that door.

And looking closely, there is one, two magic circles above each other and they are affecting each other.

It means that it is not a plane but a three-dimensional magic circle.

At that point, Laura wanted to give up.

However, there was the letter of challenge from the Great Sage.

She stared at the “Open it if you can.” message once again.

(I'll open it then!)

Laura closed her eyes once again and let her magic powers flow into the magic circle.

Which symbol does such effects, what part is it connected?

She a.n.a.lyzed all of it and removed them one by one.

It is a painstaking work, but Laura solved the puzzles with a concentration that surprised even herself.

That must be the work of the 9999 magic apt.i.tude value.

She felt that her world became wider and wider.

「I did it!」

*Gachari*, the door k.n.o.b turned.

「No way, in such a short time?!」

「I have somehow guessed it, but how frustrating, how envious desu wa!」

Emilia and Charlotte shouted with the back of their voices.

「I don't even feel resisting」

On the other hand, Anna let out a voice of resignation.

Anyways, Laura was praised.

“Fufufu”, Laura opened the door while she laughed smugly like that.

The next instant.

A tremendous amount of magic powers overflowed from the back of the door.

Laura was pushed back as if she got caught by an avalanche of sand and stone and got blown away to the wall on the opposite side.

「Laursan! What happened?!」

「Laura was suddenly became something like a billiard ball」

「Are you alright? You crashed on the wall from your head……」

The other three approached Laura who collapsed on the floor worryingly.

「I-I'm okay……the instant I opened the door, I was blown away by a mysterious power……」

Laura stood up as she rubs her head.

Her Defense Magic made it in time somehow so she was not injured.

But even so, to think that there's a trap after the door.

It looks like the Great Sage does not really want anyone disturbing her afternoon nap.

「Ara? It is a corridor inside the door desu wa」

「It's true. It's my first time seeing it as well」

Just like Charlotte and Emilia has said, it is a short corridor across the door and not a room.

And at the end of the corridor, there is another room.

Will it be the napping room this time when that is opened?

「I'm getting pushed back when I try to move forward」

Anna tried to pa.s.s through the corridor, but *Zuzuzu*, she gets pushed back.
