Chapter 48 - Disposal Ruins Investigation Team (2/2)

I traced around for quite some time until I pressed on one unsuspecting part of the wall.

Clank~ clunk~

A dent appeared out of nowhere.

It’s an elongated hole that is just wide enough for an arm to fit through.

I would then bring the crystal near the hole.

It’s a black crystal.

If you see this crystal’s color turn to platinum, then the work is over.

I don’t know the principle of why the crystal changes color.

However, I had no intention to investigate the reason.

An easy job.

Everyone in the Investigation Team is happily enjoying the leisurely job.

I know what kind of place this Disposal Ruins is.

But I’m not interested.

It has nothing to do with me whoever is sent to wherever it is.

It’s a discussion that has nothing to do with my life.

If I can have an easy life without danger, then that’s just fine.

I don’t wish for any change in my life.

Everyone was used to the leisure of our job.

Even I’m the same as them.

I don’t want any trouble in my life.

I just want to continue to do this good-paying job with ease.

[Hmm? What the?]

[What happened, Captain?]

[The color didn’t change.]

The black crystal didn’t even shine at all.

There’s always something that behind that hole that made the crystal shine into platinum.

The crystal at my hand should have changed its color in response to that.

[Captain! Does this mean—]

[Ah…]

My eyes turned serious as I looked at the others.

With a stern expression, I held my hand over my mouth.

[I guess this crystal had finally reached its end.]

[Even the magic tool that the Goddess had personally made had a lifetime too~]

Clink~

I poke the crystal with my fingertip.

[I guess we have to this crystal changed for a new one.]

[When we get back, should we report this to Allion?]

[No—]

I replied quickly within a beat.

[I can just tell them at the time of the regular report. That should be about half a year later.]

[Is that okay?]

[The procedures to handle matters are really troublesome especially when the news have to be sent to Allion. The procedures would be easy if it would be just talked about in this country.]

[Ah… I understand.]

The Investigation Team started preparing to leave the Ruins.

[Well, I guess the report this time should be “No Abnormalities” as usual. In fact, I can’t anything that had changed at all.]

[Well, what if there may actually be some people who had lived and managed to get out of this Disposal Ruins?]

[Hahaha! That’s impossible!]

Laughing and joking with the rest, I turned back and looked at the ruins.

[There was no record of someone of someone who has managed to live through there and escape the ruins even once, even after examining the past records about this ruins.]

The Disposal Ruins with zero survival rate.

There can be no change.

I put the crystal that doesn’t work anymore into my leather bag that was strapped on my belt.

[This will be just an easy job. Absolutely.]
