Chapter 5 (2/2)
「Help will probably coht？」
「They will probably come, but it’s not sure if they’ll know about this cave。 Ojou-san, are people aware of this cave in the village？」
「Maybe, I think that otou-san and the others know about; but, it’shere…………」
「It’s not like I want unreasonable wishes granted; but at least our luck should change a little bit more for the better」
「It’s still to early to be relieved」
Reasonable enough, but; if prospects becoether
Well, right now there is nothing we can do about this other than leave it to heavens and eagerly await for tomorrow’s rescue
Fyuoin—-
「「Hekkushi+…………」」
The freezing wind blows, the girl and I sneezed siirl, as there it was no choice but forher low te a cold would be one thing, but there the uncertainty if we’ll even make to tomorrow
「Oi, are you ok？」
「I can’t be ok now, it’s obvious I’m super cold…………」
As a complain escaped me, I noticed the essence of the natural phenomenom that has just transpired…
The wind blew; in a cave that’s supposedly sealed shut
To make certain of this, I turned my way towards the bottom of the cave
「What is it, Kanna？」
「…………If there is wind blowing, thatinside; that means there it has to be some sort of hole or access to the outside」
The entrance we used is already blocked by the avalanche; if despise that the wind still blows, then there it has to be another exit to this cave
「The value of our luck see」
「It h for a person to pass, you know？」
「Even if it’s like that, we just need to have Real use brute force to enlarge the hole, right? Ifduration; then it won’t be a problem if it’s used for only a bit, isn’t？」
Pure ; enough to produce huge gusts of winds like the ones from this mountain Unless the rock around it is extre our hopes on the rocks being bloay
「Even if we can’t turn around our current situation, rather than just regret it later; wouldn’t it be better to try everything we can while we can still move？」
「…………True enough; I got it, I’ll go with your idea」
It’s great that she agreed with irl
「I’m not sure how much we’ll need to walk; so hop on」
「Y- yeah」
The village girl couldn’t get our talk just now; she only seems to have understood that we need to move out and obediently climbed on me
「Oni-chan’s back is wide」
「Being a man not just for show」
I wonder if the guys that have cute younger sisters feel like this? Just by carrying her, I somehow feel my heart fulfilled
「Then onee-chan, let’s go ahead」
「Of course………… Erm, how did I ended up as your sister？」
「Nah, it’s that, you know? Going by the air you seem older」
「I’m only 18 years old」
「You really are older………… eh, only 18？ Even though you are fro eared tribe？」
「Elves and half elves growth is not really that different fro so unusual about me？」
「You are always so coht you were froe」
「And if I heard what actual concrete age you were thinking, I’ll make mince meat out of you with this blade?」
「You areit sound scary, so please speare me from that」
Even for half elves; it looks like woe………… And it seeardless of the world
It can be seen thanks to the illu; the scenery is completelyaffected due to the lack of progress even if we haven’t walked for 5 minutes… There is not only stamina to consider, but we also shouldn’t stray too far to the point we lose our return path; while thinking that I saw a light at the bottom of the cave
「This so」
We eventually stepped into a different area fro up in a roo was quite high, to the extent our voices could perfecly echo around fro ice walls created a hereatly ad I had seen up to now
「Sorry Kanna, but try to focus your eyes on the center 」
Rising hest point on the ceiling, it i winds were flowing through that place bringing the cold air
「To think the hole would be in a high ceiling And there is no place to climb」
「Should I suon？」
「…………No, if we go outside noe’ll only bu strong wind is enough to smash us on the rocks 」
That reason e initially did not use the dragon this ti Additionally; thanks to not being familiar with the local area and since it’s dark; we could only bet on flying at blind, which would end up being dangerous
「Rather, I’m cold It’s this room the coldest place here？」
「Indeed; even I started feeling the cold」
「In any event we’ll have to show our guts and stand the cold untilthe dragon we’ll get out; we should focus on preserving our stamina until then and since this is the coldest part; we’ll return to near the entrance of the cave」
「There is no other options…………。 Finding a hole that leads outside is already a great thing」
Froht on this endurance race to see hoeakened we are until ; return to the part of the cave where it’s less cold and quietly resist there without er
I glanced around on last ti back…
… But before that, I felt as if my eyes were sucked towards the central part of this space
It is only now that I noticed this; a strange shi+ning object is placed at the center; it’s long and narrow like a stick, that cylinder grows out from the hard rock
「Oi Real, what do you think is that？」
「That’s………… A lance？」
Focusing where I said, Real narrowed her eyes and unveiled the identity of the object In all probability, the elves eyesight er than that of us humans; for that reason she can’t be mistaken
At that ti that I shouldn’t leave was born
「………… When you find a weapon in a place like this; the normal would be for a shady story to be related to it… In the fairy tales I know at least; stuff like this is the usual pattern」
「Normally, it shouldn’t possibly be like that; but there are such stories around as well More than that; if there is an story that co about a seal If the weapon on itself gets sealed; then it’s probably so you wouldn’t want to touch」
「And so it isーー」
It’s not an unpleasant feeling… it is not; but I still feel like I’reat crisis Ever since I ended up in this world, it’s as ifuneasy now
「………… The best would be if we don’t even look at it」
「Agreed」
After a serious consense, without even looking here to proceeded back…
ーーーー Moving …
Soic formation appeared in the air…
「ーーーーEh, seriously？」
The fore was very similar to the formation on the floor that was used to summon me to this world and was at the castle
Real also seems to have noticed the anorlimpsed the formation
「crap ………… It has to be a 『guardian』」
「No need to guess, it’s here to protect that spear？」
There are plenty of those in RPGs… As the name implies, it’s the last ordeal placed to protect the treasure
「It does look like that spear has a shady story attached… Unauthorized entry probably won’t be forgiven, thus a su trap was stablished to deal with those who approach Well Kanna, what now？」
「Why is the opinion ofasked!? My vote naturally goes to running away! The truth of the issue is that surely you believe that worrying about bothersos is too much of a pain!」
「I’ht after all」
「Don’t put a satisfied face in this situation!」
I strongly played the straight man, in a fluster I went back to the entrance of this space Not even talking about irl onfor treasures, but just to rescue this girl
The light from behind beca for sound and violent treuts as not to have led; and I made a full speed dash towards the entrance
Only a little bit e shadow could be seen at my feelt
「-!? STEP ASIDE, REAL！」
Real as running in front of me was only a couple of steps from the exit of this area; however as soon as my voice reached her, she jumped to the side Ale could be heard landing in the place where she just was
