72 68 If you dont have a job, look for a job!! (2/2)

Of course, the chains don't seem to come off either.

If it's difficult to escape on your own, you try to approach the door to call for help, but after thinking about it, you give up on the idea that making a fuss here will only bring in the person who caught you.

And the conclusion that was born after worrying about it was the very reality that there was nothing we could do about it.

...... Ann, are you okay?

I feel like this is a waste of my sleepiness.

This is what I said aloud to myself, but such and such a thing happened.

I know I have to give up on her.

I'm getting tired of repeating the affirmation and denial that it's not true, hoping for that.

I sit upright in bed and bury my face in my lap, regretting that it would have been better if I had just gone to sleep.

”Worrying about other people instead of yourself trapped, funny girl.

”Who!

”Who?　Well, that's all I want to hear. I thought there was some kind of noisy chain, and if I listened, I could hear my daughter's voice. And now I'm free. So I thought I'd offer to talk to you. I'd like to introduce myself, if I could strike up a conversation, but unfortunately I don't know who I am. Now, how do I answer your question.

I mumbled to myself and didn't expect an answer.

I look around, but there's no one in this room but me.

I thought there was someone on the other side of the door, but I don't think I'm hearing this voice, somehow.

Was it a ghost? It seems that the owner of the voice was very worried about it, and then he solved it.

Then, daughter, will you decide on my name?

”Huh?

NO, apparently you didn't solve my problem, you forced my problem on me.

Isn't that a good idea, or is that a stray idea?

This is the first time I've been asked to pick a name.

”What?

”What, take it easy!

I'm not troubled, I'm confused. ......

”Well, Mike,

”Hmm, so now I'm Mike. Nice to meet you, daughter, I'm Mike.

”I wonder if it's okay?

Still, is it because you have the guts to make a decision so easily?

I've heard that people can clear their minds after a night's sleep.

But I'm not sure if I'm introducing myself as such, and I'm sure the owner of the voice is suspicious.

But

”So, daughter, what's your name?

”Hmm... Then I'll let you decide, too?

I guess I was more lonely in this space alone than I thought.

I decide to talk to this mysterious voice, but I won't tell you my name just in case.

”Then you're my daughter.

”Well, I need a prettier name.

”Hmm, I don't know what's cute about a pretty name,

”Hmmm, just call me Amy, that's what my friends used to call me!

”Okay, then Amy”.

”What?

”Where am I?

”I want to hear it.

What is this guy asking me who is exactly trapped? Ha. This voice makes me wonder if I hit my head when I lost consciousness from the hallucination.

Oh, I'm sorry. It was dark and I couldn't see anything, and I couldn't control my body. The only one who could receive this telepathic communication was you. There were several others, but they seemed to be unconscious for some reason.

”Is there anyone else nearby besides me?

”It's not exactly true that you're there, you can only feel it. You're one of them.

Oh, I don't see it, do I?

”Oh, and in addition to that, it's like I'm stuck in something, I can't move around.

You're with me.

”Hmm, my feeling is that you're caught, and with that, I'd say you're caught in my current situation: ......

”You just realized that!

”Yeah, I'm sure you've never been caught before as far as I can remember, after all.

”I don't have a memory, so what's the point?

”Oh!　That's right!

This is not a hallucination.

If it was a hallucination, it's just too sad to have a conversation with such a blurry hallucination.

I see. I was just trying to get help if I wasn't caught.

”Hmm, from what Amy said, you want to get out of there, don't you?

That's right.

”Hmmm, that's something. Alright, if this sounds interesting, I will help you escape.

”Really?

”Oh, I don't know what I can do, but I'm here to help!

Then we'll figure it out together!

”So I guess we should start by finding out where we are. When the door opens, you are in hostile territory, and you need to check your escape route before you are pursued.

I get it!

”I'll tell you what, can you do it?

Can you?

You might be able to rely on me to give you the first idea when you say you don't know.

As I said to Ann recently, this kind of thing is easy to do.

I put my ear against the wall, build up my magic and knock with my hand.

”Houhou, you've got some interesting skills.

You know?

”Hmm, that's a detection using magic waves. Surely, this should give us a clear escape route.

Maybe that's true too.

It's in my own brain to remember, but a clear picture stays in my memory to some extent.

Maybe that's why.

Hey, here.

”Look familiar, or in this case, sound familiar?　Is it?'

”Yeah, I know this place.

The map I explored with Ann smoothly overlapped with the map I had explored with her, and I had to start from the continuation.

Now it was just a matter of filling in the missing pieces.

”Well, that's a good start. Have you found a way out, then?

”Yeah, I'm fine.

Where we are now is a room a little off the path taken by the fake classmate.

I've got a good idea of the path that leads to it.

Now let's go back to the beginning. Now it's just a matter of how we're going to get out. What's in question?

”Well, is it heavy duty chains and doors?

I'd like to add that the doorway has a magic spreading mechanism and the chain has a function of releasing excess magic power to the ground. It's probably to prevent the brave men from using their powerful magic power, but oh dear. This is all you've got?

I guess I'm not the only one who thinks that's enough.

If this voice, Mike, is right, that door is immune to magic.

If I tried to use my magic to great effect, these chains would release it like an electrical ground.

The end result will be a powerless me.

But I'm more interested in how you understood what I just said without seeing it.

From the way we've been talking, I'm sure there's a distance between him and me, and I'm trapped and wearing it, and I even noticed after being told.

The person with this voice (?) What the hell kind of person is that?

Despite feeling something unfathomable, you have to rely on this voice to get out.

So let's change your thinking.

”Huh?

The door dissipates magic, the chain releases magic, and in reverse, the door dissipates magic but does not erase it. A chain only releases magic, but it doesn't mean it can't be reversed. Hmmm, I'll give you a technique then.

Amnesia, you don't know who you are, but you have a lot of knowledge.

I'm going to draw a wealth of magic from the end of the chain, let's fill the room and break the door. Specifically, yes, we'll submerge the room in a sea of magic to keep it from dissipating, and then we'll blow the door down. What, I'll support you and you'll be ready in three minutes.

However the idea is pretty amazing.

I'm not sure I can really trust you with it.

But ...

As Mamie said, ”A woman has guts!　Mike, please!

”You look like you've got a strong mother, Amy. I do. Then let's not waste your energy being the first to do so.

Worry and regret can wait for now.

I'm doing everything I can!

”Learn this technique.

”Be-study?

”Oh, you're not happy?

N, No, I'll do it!

It has nothing to do with fervor!
