Chapter 159 (1/2)

We've had enough rest

Today we'll finally conquer the labyrinth ofsun rises

It's becoht to reach us even atcovered in darkness

Tiallant Silvi-chan tries to guide us

Since it's only that girl who knows the route

I just somehow became worried, so it ca her hand

「Obsessive parent」

「I think it can't be helped when having such a cute daughter……」

Even though shi+on is also thoughtful with her family

「Everyone-sa forward or to the side Please look only to your feet If there are fallen leaves, then that is the correct path」

Silvi-chan is collected issn't she

Crisp notes fro upon fallen leaves reverberate

Certainly, we're being careful as everyone lacks vision, our progress is slohatever we do

There's also no leeway for pointless chatter

Because it's soo off course isn't it

In the labyrinth of ht path of this trail of fallen leaves

Soe between the tops of large buildings……nervous

――Fufufu, ahaha

「This is……」

Suddenly, an unnerving laughing voice reverberated

「Do notfairies」

Then are even such things here……

I feel like, it's getting a little off from the domain where people live

――Ahaha, hu our reactions You must not mind them」

Silvi-chan reemphasized herself

She's a child that can be relied upon

Fumu, fairies love mischief, is it

Should I assume they're starved for amusement then?

This world is filled with 』elements arenn't there

――Ahaha, ufufu

「……」

Be that as it hter of faeries deep within the forest truly is unnerving isn't it

This is practically a supernatural phenomenon

It is a little better, in as far as I understand the trick but……

You know, I'm kind of bad with this sort of stuff arenn't I

Like, since I really hate things like su inn is a trau to be concerned of you know」

Perhaps she saw through hter

「Si, Silvi-chan……」

I aluardian?」

「It's because it's ojousama」

Hecklers jumped in from behind but, I don't el

Kindly, as if her hands were saying it's okay you know, she firmly pulls ives people courage

Such war

This is, Luminchan's prided nee-sahter

Aah……how to describe it……

「Mother-sama……?」

「Nn?」

「Ah, no……that is, such overly forward behavior……」

「N~n, because I'rip frohter acted flustered

Fufu, cute

――Turn back, turn back

――You'll be cursed, you'll be cursed

――Kyahaha, hyahaha

In top foro along with that attehter power

「Be that as it may, Silvi-chan, can I assume you receive lots of confessions or the like?」

「Eh? No? There has not been a time when I have received such a statement Ah, but Lumina's friends often confess to her you know? Fufu, because she's cute is she not?」

「Hei~?」

Certainly Luminchan is innocently cute

But Silvi-chan is……I see

I look fixedly atpraised but, I can sense fro of my and Kran's features that seems to captivate with an otherworldly sort of beauty

Kind eyes provisioned with deep affection at her age

Mannerisms that make you feel her nobility

All of that pushes her toward idolization

Fuumu……

「A flower of the peaks is it……」

「?」

Even her befuddled face is adorable

This type of thickheadedness isn't like Kran is it

……Then whose is it?

……Well it's fine

Does there exist a partner to go along with this child, who can gain my approval?

This child is a princess-sa that's absolutely necessary issn't it, I kinnda don't like that……

「Marisan, please protect Silvi-chan okay!」

I had an unpleasant fantasy so I ended up giving that request in a spinal reflex

「Ufufu, I will not be picking out so like a suitable partner for princess-sama you know, since that would cause Kran to remand me」

I was sudden but this person, she took in my intent well didn't she?

Capable people really are incredible……

But that's good, Marisan was an ally

「But froether with someone like this『Lumina』sama?」

……An ally?

「Cer, certainly there's no problem with Luminchan, but a different probleh the wo is common in the world of nobles」

「That's so!?」

No that's right, on that note, was it such a thing even in es??

「Maa? Lue things okay, Silvi-chan?」

Marisan, I'll rehter in strange things okay

「Ufufu」

…………An ally?

「! Be quiet, everyone-sahten our focus again

Huh? This party's leader is……as it?

――Now, the trial!!

――Enjoy it, to your ute voice, thesed――into thehands with Silvi-chan is going away

This is――the ement!

「Ku……! Everyone, be safe―― !!」

I shout withis sed into the mist

◇■◇■◇

I merely walk, within pure whiteconsciousness but, I became isolated at some point

A faint warmth remains on my left hand but, I can't find Silvi-chan either

Even if I was given warning ahead of ti

「The mist's trial, was this……」

This current space is, co like drifting through the world of drea like the eternal worldKakuriyo?

According tolike, a test where only those with a strong will canField」

For the nonce I try deploying a barrier

…………Nn

Nnn?

Un…………I' a in it so I release the barrier

But h ht

Let's resist with our full power should anything co with a trot

Walking earnestly

There's nothing

I feel like 」

Can I assu ile is me alone!

In short, if I can escape this, thatto my side for a bit

My footsteps, why are they possible?

I try lightly striking the white surface and a note like a wind instrument's resounds

Clearly not dirt so, this really is another space

「Oh?」

I finished confir my vision and, at some point there was a door there

Unnaturally, there's only that door within open space

It's overly abnor around the door but, it really is a single door with no trick nor contrivance

――Ahaha

「Scary, you've coht suddenly appeared before my eyes

It's not particularly a for but a ball of light

――Pass through, human

Well I did think that should be so

「It can't be helped can it, there's no uts」

I resolutely open the door and step in

――The environs changed

「This is――」

It's suddenly a town's ie

Haphazard isn't this……

Furthermore this place is the royal capital, isn't it

Did I return to the starting point?

I try looking about and, there's a disquieting presence

Perhaps there's so every which ith a severe appearance

No……I have a memory, of this scene……

――Onlooker, watch closely

Onlooker? ……For the ti I observe with deep caution

There's no mistake, it's the royal capital of that ti for it but, the scene beforebecomes tense

Masses of people are cut down, byin
