Chapter 260: Encounter with the unknown
Sponsored Chapter
“Alt floor? At the third floor, there was an Alt engraved at the entrance……!!! Could it be the ‘Crimson Corridor’?! To think it actually existed”
“We have confirmed the Crirown up”
Acco the first encounter of a Marikosan, I was able to reunite with everyone at the next floor
We decided to finish the exploration of that day and returned to the hotel
Third floor clear
We anticipated that ould be able to go even lower, but we had a harder ti a reflectionrefuge here were participating at soetsu-san was surprised when he heard the name Crimson Corridor and we received words of surrender fro to Hokuto, the route till the 10th floor has beenfrom tomorrow on, it would definitely be those Alt floors A place where not even thought transmission works, just what kind of mechanism is at work there?” (Tomoe)
“That’s the part It seems like there’s so results at the previous floor in order to be thrown to those Alt floors, so it would be bad to hurry too et everyone separated” (Makoto)
I don’t think speed is the only condition
At the Garden, the condition was the number of Drakes defeated, or it was at least one of the conditions
Leaving me aside, in the cases where Beren, Hokuto or shi+ are thrown into the Alt floor, it ersto the labyrinth with just Tomoe-san, Waka-saets thrown into the strange floor, there won’t be much problems” (Mio)
Mio proposes what’s possibly the number one safest way
It is true that with that there will be no dangers
If it’s only us three,would be okay
But…there will be no ment froeon environht even be better adapted than us three Especially in lower floors where we don’t have a decent aood idea
Yeah
The words of Mio served as the trigger A nu here and there
Of course, there were the proposals saying they wanted to accompany us Their desire to accompany us froo to the labyrinth, they can do things like gather infor for theinal objective, or more like, its priority is low
The nuotiation with the roup succeed, you know…
The reflectionthat continued till dinner had idle talk mixed in it as well, and it didn’t look like the decision could be reached
“I have an opinion Is it okay to say it?”
That voice came from my back
At a place that was close to my neck, a blade was placed there, and with the other hand that wasn’t holding it, that person saluted
“?!”
Tomoe, Mio, and everyone else noticed the current situation after those words
Well, that was the same for me
It truly was as if he had suddenly appeared just now
Really a surprise
So surprised that I lost the chance to get panicked
“Grand Master?!”
But within that surprise, one person directed the words ‘Grand Master’ at that man
A word I aiven to soaetsu-san
“Uotten quite the presence now”
“Y-Yes Rokuya-saetsu)
“I am an eternal 20 years old after all” (Rokuya)
Suddenly turning his blade atnonchalantly; I don’t knohat kind of intentions he has, but this etsu-san even introduced himself and made a joke He parted the blade from my neck, and, without any noise, he moves towards the wall and places his back there
Is he an assassin?
I can instantly tell that he is incredibly skilled
I don’t knohat skill it was, but not a single person in this room was able to catch his presence
Because he moved, I was able to confirht similar to mine which is pretty rare in this world, white hair that’s neither long or short, extremities that I can feel firmness and flexibility from
To my surprise, his appearance is a lot further than the standard of this world, even more than me
The identity of the blade that was ata stance with theetsu-san, who is he?” (Makoto)
“He…Rokuya-saetsu)
Master’s rand huh
Like when you say grandparent
Shougetsu-san who is already an oldhim the master of his‘eternally 20 years old’?
However, the appearance of thestopped with so assassin, name’s Rokuya Pleased to meet you” (Rokuya)
“I am Raidou The representative of Kuzunoha Co soo Since I wanted to see the person as able to pass the Criainst h you were approached to such a proximity, you didn’t seem to flinch at all It has been a while since that happened You are quite…splendid” (Rokuya)
“Rokuya… assassin Rokuya Are you the real one? You are still alive? Is this a joke?”
“I thought Shougetsu-sama was able to make funny jokes, and yet…seriously, this joke’s not funny at all”
The two bodyguards of Iroha-chan were dumbfounded
By the way, Tomoe and Mio had taken their battle stances in an instant, so I command them with my hand and calh the trouble of speaking with us, that
He is still an unknown factor though
“Rokuya-san, was it?” (Makoto)
“Yeah The re people here are your subordinates, and…the people that serve princess Iroha, right?” (Rokuya)
“That’s right And so, is it okay to assume that you are not an enemy?” (Makoto)
I heard the word assassin
Lately, I have been attacked by those all the time
Even I wouldn’t just assume that he is not related
“Fumu, currently, the answer to that question would be that…I am not” (Rokuya)
After a short silence, Rokuya-san faces me and answers in that fashi+on
“…Then, what’s your business?” (Makoto)
“I was a bit interested in the objective of you guys I heard that Raidou-kun’s objective is the 20th floor, roup Is that true?” (Rokuya)
“…Yeah, that’s true But that doesn’t answer my question” (Makoto)
“Of course, I know Let’s answer in order About me, well, it would help etsu-kun later In that way, the information would be more definite than if I were to say it myself after all” (Rokuya)
…
It ishimself?
What does that mean?
“Then, what’s your answer to Waka’s question-ja? Speak in the ti docile” (Toon samurai The reason why I visited Raidou-kun…one of them is, just as I said before, my interest for the person that was able to pass the third floor’s Alt floor; the other one was to confire to hie, you say?” (Tomoe)
Froered towards Rokuya-san
That was the same for Mio and everyone of Asora here
Everyone from Iroha’s side seemed to feel some sort of reverence towards this person called Rokuya-san
The reason why they haven’t participated at all in the conversation unless they are directly spoken to by Rokuya-san ht now, roup you set your objective on By the way, the current leader of that roup is ets pretty angry about that, so be careful Also, she can be considered the direct etsu-kun there” (Rokuya)
?!
The leader of the etsu-san?!
Wouldn’t that make her quite the old woman?!
Is she still in active duty?
Well, it see called Bibi instead of Vivi -though I feel like they are both the same-, so at that time, let’s be considerate about it
My name is Makoto, but if we play with the words a bit, it can turn into Maggot , and I wouldn’t like that either
“Yes, Vivi-sama is my mentor She is probably the person that possesses theand surprise attacks A pro at raids” (Shougetsu)
