“In a rho said Chi-Woo stood on Shadia’s left, while Snowy Mountainto the back Chi-Woo looked around his surroundings

It was red Not exaggerating one bit, the whole world was simply crimson: froround, everything in his vision radiated a reddish light, like they had been doused with blood The only other color was the night sky It was coht And was it just his iination, or did it look like the bloody insides of a monster’s mouth, stretched wide open to s the expedition tearound and s his nose with his cat paw and twisting his face

“The soil here is completely different from that of the outside It’s not just theto a different planet, and it appears that it has gone through considerable erosion”

“That would make sense since centuries have passed since that incident We should consider this place part of an entirely different world one way or another,” Shadia responded and then looked behind her anxiously “Would we even be able to return…?”

They couldn’t see anything from where they had come from As if obscured by a curtain, the area was cloudy and hazy

“I don’t have a good feeling about this… Sheesh I suppose that hy the advance pay said

“Exactly what I wanted to say,” Shadia replied ” I a more about it So stupid”

The two conversed to relieve some of the hesitancy and nervousness they felt Eventually, Nangnang walked forward and placed his paw gingerly on the tightly shut entrance door As if he was doing a cat punch, he tapped on the door with his paws, and his eyes narrowed

“He? Is there a spell cast on the door?”

“No, that’s not it” Nangnang shook his head “ButI think we’ll have to watch where we go once we’re inside”

“What is it? Can’t you just tell us?”

“A guide has to relay only definite infor confusion with uncertain infored

“Well, I’o to the entrance for now What do you think, Captain?” Nangnang turned around and asked for Chi-Woo’s opinion Chi-Woo nodded; he was a complete newbie in thesehis approval, Nangnang turned his gaze onto Snowy Mountain

“Could you open the door for us a bit? Carefully if possible If you can’t be careful, it’s fine even if you use all of your strength”

Snowy Mountain stepped forward and placed both hands on the entrance, leaning his body forward Creaaak The steel door gently opened without resistance Nangnang’s eyebroitched, but for now, he quietly entered Once they were past the door, the interior was revealed to them more clearly

As soon as he saw it, Chi-Woo was reh-end cos, and the site was huge It looked like a school where children from rich families attended

‘It really looks like they poured a lot of ht was interrupted by a strange sensation

Then so while cautiously ain?” Shadia asked in a disgruntled tone

“Wait” Nangnang wrinkled his eyes slightly The whiskers on his face stretched out horizontally and tre said “I can s”

“What smell?”

“Smell of blood”

Everyone fell silent

“Here,” Nangnang turned, and they continued advancing After they passed below a bridge connecting tin towers, they cas they had just passed It was the building that they had been able to see faintly even fro size over the other structures, it looked to be theheaded to a stairway that appeared to be connected to the entrance door Visible blood stains cast a red light on the white staircase, and at the point where the staircase in of the fishy sht in full plated armor as well as a hel away, or had exhausted all his strength, causing hiht’s entire body was still soaked in blood, and Nangnang quickly approached to study hiby the way his face contorted and hardened, he probably had been in treht before his death

“How is he?” Shadia asked as Nangnang placed his paw on the young knight’s neck

“He’s already dead” Nangnang checked the knight’s pulse and shook his head slowly “And…” Nangnang didn’t immediately continue He hesitated and studied the corpse carefully again, lifting the knight’s ar his paw into the collected pool of blood

“Youfinally raised his head with a dazed look on his face “It’s a corpse…that has died not too long ago…”

“…What?” Shadia doubted her ears It was too unbelievable

“It’s true It’s been only a couple of days since he died” The blood stains were still fresh, and the corpse hadn’t decomposed much

“Well, before we came in,traces of someone who had forced their way in…” Shadia said and looked at the corpse like she ondering if this young knight was the trespasser

‘He doesn’t seeht curiously Of course, he couldn’t re a young knight He would’ve definitely re around in armor like this It seemed most likely that the man was someone who had come in before they did But overall, the situation was quite confusing

“We lack inforroup huddled together and searched the corpse They took off the corpse’s ar found so that looked like a small card

“It’s an identification card” Chi-Woo read the inforht seemed to be the son of an aristocratic family Let me see… Got it; it says his name is nobreium here”

“nobreiu until now, asked in surprise

Nangnang glanced at her and asked, “You know them?”

“They are one of the noble fado us that, but ere you so surprised?” Nangnang asked

“Well, that’s because…” Hawa hesitated, unlike her usual self “The nobreiuo”

“What? How do you know that?”

“Because the one who led the assassination of the nobreiurandmother”

“What?”
