Chapter 34 (1/2)

―Head in, No 15”

One of thepast a heavy metal door with his chin

“……What’s this room?”

I asked, but the h he didn’t even hear my question

I reluctantly looked towards Gazaine behind me

“Don’t worry It’s not like we’re going to lock you inside an isolation cell”

“……But no matter how you look at it, this is an isolation cell”

That rooround

Above the ceiling there was a barred skylight, but it’s hard to call that a

Although I had a lot of doubts, this solid stone room would normally be considered an isolation cell

And it was the type that people who have committed a heinous or political crime would be locked up in

“What, are you scared, 《Baby Scarlet》?”

“……I just have to go in, right?”

When I enter the cell, the door was closed and barred from the outside as I expected

“……Melby, are you there?”

“I’m here Don’t worry”

Melby said when I asked with so invisible

As expected of everybody’s big sister

―― Five days have passed since I was kidnapped from the Viscount Chrebl estate in Fauno City

During this tiloomy troops dressed in black , and they watched me closely as alked on an off-road path in the forest

I would occasionally feign tiredness to take breaks, as I thought of trying to confirm my location, but not only was the path very crooked, the i was that I was blindfolded so I could only tell that ere heading roughly west of Fauno City

But then again, Melby who remained by my side whilst invisible (or should have been) could see our surroundings without being blindfolded because the evil <yatagarasu> leaders were unable to see her

That said, it seems like Melby had never travelled so far away frorasped our location was doubtful

But since Melby was there, we could escape through the gate to Fairy Garden at least

Because of that, I was given great peace of mind

Now, five days later, we had left the forest, crossed plains, scaled valleys, arriving at so like a crevasse in a cliff wall

It probably took five days because I, who am less than a year old, frequently requested breaks and theus on a lot of detours to hide the path to this location

The men in black jumped into the crevasse without any equipment

The leader, Gazaine, asked,

“――Do you need someone to carry you?”

but I ignored his question and threw myself into the hole

I write ♭ (physik) inat the black-clad children staring in wonder as I landed

At the bottoymnasium from my previous world

I wondered what it was, but then I looked closer and saw tracks laid out under the bogie

A rail car thatthe seesaw alternately up and down

Next to the rail car, there was a cleverly hidden small hole

Heading to that hole, one of the ainst each other in a steady rhythm

Gotogotogoto……

A dull noise reverberated from far away

“――Get on”

Gazaine says, and I got on the cart without really knohy

The twothe seesaw in alternation, propelling the cart forward

“Ooh”

“H like this”

Gazaine scoffed at enuinely moved

I realised it e passed the junctions, but that signal with the knives was probably a sign to switch the tracks

If you didn’t do that then you would probably end up at soht even end up taking a dive off some open pitfall

This space, unlike the last one, had some metal doors lined up

The regular sized doors were left open, with stairs visible inside

I was taken to the door in the centre―― which leads us to the scene at the start

“Oi……oi!”

I attempt to yell out from the isolation cell(?) but there was no response

“What are you trying to do……”

Since there’s nothing else to do, I sit down in the centre of the cell

The corner is dark, so it’s not like I can tell as there

……Wait, if it’s dark, I just have to light it up

“∩(Light)”

I create light, then survey the rest of the inside of the cell

But all I could tell was that it was a uselessly cleanly carved air space in a stone

I wonder if the randomly scattered holes in the walls are air holes

But there seems to be too many of them if that’s the case

I atteht) over to it but then,

“……∃(Erase)”

A voice sounds froht) was erased

In the cell where darkness has fallen again,

“I see……so they were voicepipes”

I nod as if I’ve solved one mystery

“Oi, I know you’re listening Why are you doing this?”

As expected, no response comes

I waited a fewcomes

“……Then, what to do…?”

I say to

――Then,

“……I guess I’ll raise my skills”

If they don’t plan on doing anything, I’

I stand back up, i

There are a few choices I want to try

First is the standard, raisingI want to avoid in a situation like this, so it’s rejected

Next is leveling [Eavesdropping]

Fortunately, I’ve been carefully straining my eyes since it’s dark in here but I have yet to obtain it

There’s also [Spirit Magic] which requires the practice of “trying to hear the voices of spirits” that I still haven’t ed to succeed at
