28 Chapter 26 Sesshou-Seki Part 1 (2/2)
*Thud! Thud! Thud!*
The heavy footsteps continued on as it got further and further away from them, they were lucky that the golem hadn't looked through the foliage that they were behind of as it passed by and just went straight without doing anything else.
”Looks like it's gone...”
Miku quickly signalled Yui to get back out onto the dirt path that they were currently one but this time there was a problem...
The talismans that she was expecting to find were now there right infront of them- as if someone had turned them invisible somehow.
”What the- How is that talisman there now?! That wasn't there before, was it?”
The now confused girl tried to approach and examine it but it soon started to catch on fire to get rid of itself.

”Wait! Stand back, that's a special type.”
”A special what now?”
Miku was now even more confused that she previously was. The talisman had been there all along but thanks to the cloaking spell that was used on it they didn't notice it at all.
Combined with the way it set itself fire as Miku tried to touch it, it was clear that it wasn't something that anyone could just go up to and touch.
”Looks like it was hiding some classified information...”
Yui put a hand under her chin, deep in thought.
If that was a trap trigger then how was it invisible? Normally one would have to hide it somewhere and not use a cloak spell on it to keep it from being seen...
With Miku still in front of her now being alert, Yui continued her thoughts:
This unknown magic... Who could've possibly done something like this? It doesn't seem like normal humans could trigger this since the sesshou-seki was a tourist attraction.
She soon thought of two possible suspects when it came to who set the trap trigger-like talisman by the dirt path:
1. The village elders from decades ago using a old form of magic.
2. Someone from this time period did this.
From the way it burned that talisman just combusted on it's own looks like it has another unknown spell on it...
Question... After Question came to mind as she continued thinking about what that trap was for, almost forgetting that she had some business with the stone called ”sesshou-seki”.
”Mentor? Why are you quite all of a sudden?”
Miku started to grow quite concerned about the amount of time that Yui had been taking being quite, deep in thought.
”Shhh, Did you hear that?”
”Hear what? I don't hea--”
*Crack*
Twigs being seemingly stepped on could be heard from a short distance, the source of it was in the foliage that they had just hid in.
