Aiko an to wander towards the church ruins Hajime and Teio also looked towards the mountain of ruins
[……Ma~a, they were likely bloith it]
“The church just put too much faith in their barrier It was also a surprise attack, coainst that blast, it’s likely none are alive”
[A, ah…it can’t…saying that, although I prepared myself for this…]
Having been an accomplice, Aiko’s face turned pale as she was the cause that led to the explosion killing everyone of the church Although she steeled herself for the battle, she can’t regain her co pointed out
Unintentionally she vo, Hajiled up with Aiko And he held Aiko’s hands withoutthat it was dirty with vomit The current Aiko required warmth
Aiko felt warh her numb hands and her frozen heartrelated to a teacher and student relationshi+p, she leaped onto Haji
“……Mistress’s back……”
Teio voiced her sad opinion while looking at the terrible sight of her back, she iic to restore her scales Teio also desired to allow Aiko soin with so Aiko didn’t have to feel ht noasn’t the right tihtly healed her worn-out soul
Aiko whose energy returns,looks up froh it’s become a terrible scene because she has so much snot, tears, and vomit, Hajime didn’t particularly mind and simply took out some water and towel from the “Treasure Warehouse” and cleaned up the dirty Aiko Although Aiko was upset to have shown such disgraceful behavior, she remained as is
[Have you calmed down? Sensei]
[Y, yes I, I’umo-kun…]
Aiko who pulled herself back together after Hajime’s question, her face was dyed in red with shame and what not So upwards and staring were feverish and moist No matter how you looked at it, that wasn’t caused by only a sense of shas
Hajime only saw Aiko as a teacher and not a “wo shown, [Are~? Isn’t so about this different? Is it possibly, that kind?], he s and his cheek cramped up
This was dangerous in various ways, Hajime immediately adverted his eyes and Teio voiced out a word of caution
“Master There’s a person He clearly doesn’t seem to be ordinary…”
[What was that?]
It couldn’t be, its surprising that anyone could have survived that kind of explosion, Haji, there was definitely a , Hajime and them stared directly at him However, as Teio said, he definitely wasn’t an ordinary person That was because his body was transparent and he inging waveringly
Did the nized hi as if gravity didn’t exist and slipped and slid to the other side of the mountain rubble And he turned around just before he disappeared to glance over at Hajime and them
[……Is he trying to tell us to follow?]
“Probably What should we do, master”
[……That’s right, although I want to quickly in with, we caic It’s possible that this is somehow related to that We can’t afford to miss clues]
“Fuht Well then, lets chase after him”
With Hajis to land on the ruins, after unloading Hajime and Aiko, she reverted back to human form And she noticed the dirt on her back, with lowered eyebrows, she took out new clothes from the “Treasure Warehouse” Hajime also noticed his state and pulled out some extra clothes fro quickly
[A~u, s, sorry…I’ve made you dirty]
The cause was Aiko, she apologized and her small frame became even smaller with shame As a woman, it’s unbearably shameful to have vomited on another person’s clothes
Haji it, they wanted to tell her not toto do Anyways, with the little exchange fros, therefore, she’s begun to think about various things about Hajime in particular
However, it would be a probleed the topic
[Sensei, sorry for h I don’t knoill happen…we need to uy’s identity]
[Y, yes, I understand …I’ll follow along with Nagumo-kun……]
Hajie power and heat froly pretended not to notice and stepped into the place where the bald man had disappeared
The bald h the ruins And after 5they finally reached their destination, the bald roup
[Who are you? What do you ith us?]
[……]
The bald man did not answer Hajier Although the place was just a heap of rubble, the oldtheed that even if he questioned hi any answers, he nodded at Teio and them and went towards the location Then, at that round underneath it began to shi+ne faintly If you looked, one of the crests of the great labyrinth was carved there
[…You’re one of the…Liberators?]
As Hajiround emitted wrapped Hajiroup were standing in a co The rooic formation was drawn in the center, and there was an antique book on the pedestal by its side It appears that they’ve suddenly reached the final room of the labyrinth
Hajirabbed Aiko’s hand who had a “?” floating over her head and led her, while nodding to Teio for a ic formation
Then, it wasn’t the usual feeling, their oing deeper inside, and the 3 people instinctively let out a groan It was a very uncoht it was a trap, but in the next nized as people who’s coic was implanted directly into their heads
[…Spirit Magic?]
[U~ic that can directly interfere with souls]
[I see The reason how Miredi’s soul survived and was directly iolm was this…]
To the experience of knowledge being carved directly into the head suddenly, Aiko was crouched down holding her head, After Hajime noded with a consent face, they approached the pedestal by the side and picked up the book
It appears that the contents were notes written by Rouse Byrnepronounced Ban as the founder of the [Kareat labyrinth It explained practically the saes up until he died at [Kamiyama]
However, because Hajih it He didn’t care about Rouse Byrne’s life Why did he only leave hie body, he probably could have lived like Miredei by using Spirit Magic, although the reason was explained during the confession, he was throughas in done with the subject
And, the last section was describing the conditions to capturing the labyrinth, according to it, when the iuide, it would mean that you’ve pretty much been accepted
Because the ireat labyrinths, also having no faith in God, or overco some kind of influence that God’s power acted on in order to appear In other words, it appears that [Kamiyama’s] concept, was to possess a firm will that wouldn’t bon to God
That was probably it but, originally, if you challenged the proper route, it may have been possible to be accepted by the will Aiko had been accepted, Although she received quite a lot of teachings fros for her students were h that she had the judgeainst the church
For the people of this world, it was a rather harsh condition but, it was an easy condition for Hajime and them
At last, Aiko who recovered froed, and they took the ring fro with the book, they then quickly left the place Once again, Rouse Byrne’s crest shi+ned and they returned back to their original place
[Sensei, are you alright?]
[U~u, yes soic…certainly, if there’s such incredible ic that sends us back to japan]
Aiko nodded as she consented and washer temple Her expression was of soh events that developed within several days and had finally ended, she loosened up when the possibility of returning was truely felt
[Well then, we know the place where the ic formation is now, lets quickly join up with Yue and them]
[A~, that’s right! The Kingdoht? I hope everyone’s safe…]
With a worried expression Aiko clenched her chest as she prayed, then they began to descend froh I say that, the only way down froh the lift
Aiko’s Screa, Hajih With Aiko on his shoulder Haji the fladom which Aiko had a skeptical expression towards and they decided to first go to where Kaori and them were
And, what they sahen they joined up……
With a sword thrust through the chest, Kaori’s figure had already ceased breathing
