Chapter 41 (1/2)
hat day, Melby suddenly broke
“U……”
“U?”
“Uwaaaahahhhhhhh~~~n!!”
“U-uwaah!?”
I ended up screa unintentionally due to the “loud voice” I suddenly heard through [Telepathic Communication]
“W-what’s the matter, Fellow believer Orochi!?”
“N-nothing!”
I replied to Donna, who spoke with concern, then panickedly rushed out of the children’s room
Ascending the nearby stairs, I head to the field below the big hole where I encountered Elemia before
Today, Eleement with the special forces and ay fro across her
……When I think about it, ere able to speak with [Telepathic Corabbed Melby and ran off by reflex
Even in the meantime, Melby’s Uwaaahhh…… continues
Ah,to split……
After checking that there was no one in the field, I address Melby
“W-what’s wrong, Melby!”
“Uwaahhh~~n! I want no more of this dirt-filled place! I wanna lie in a flower field and bathe in the sunlight~!!”
I release the kicking and struggling Melby
“Calm down”
“What’s with this place anyway!?
Dirt, dirt, dirt in every direction, I feel like I’!”
“That is… certainly true”
“Uu (sob) After all, it’s already been…… a month and a half!?
We returned to the hamlet many times en route, but only for short intervals…… Apart froround this whole time!
I’ of me!?”
“N-no, you’re not wrong! You’re not wrong so calm down!”
Watching Melby throw a tantruht,
――This was my mistake
After all, I’ve often been associating with the emissaries and haven’t made much time to talk to Melby
Even though she stays by my side the whole day
Since Melby is very diligent, she probably sympathised with my circumstances and endured it
She had lasted one and a half months in a place that would make Secel and Secela say “I’m bored~” within a few hours
“Even with Master, there’s no progress at all! I get it! You’re in no state to be told that! But…… but…… uwaahhhh~~~n!”
I kneeled on the ground and lowered ain
――Right, it was a dogeza
Illu hiht appear a little surreal when seen objectively
Melby stopped bawling, startled
“Wha…… wai stop it!
Even though I’ve been talking so selfishly!”
“But, what you’re saying is right
I’”
“I-it’s fine! I’ such nonsense too……”
In response to Melby despondent uttering, I stand up and say,
“――Alright Then let’s head outside for a bit”
“E-eh!? How!?”
“Naturally, via this big hole”
“But this hole is full of barbs, and steel wires are laid out on every level with clappers set up”
“I’ve thought about that already
I have a plan especially for escaping in a pinch
―― Melby, take that out, the thing I made the other day……”
“Ah, that”
We were talking so in sync like a ed couple, and Melby took the requested ie
A large hook retrieved from the historic relics was attached to the end of a durable yet flexible wire also fro hook
It was one of the tools I ether by means of the equipment from the historic relics and 卜 (flame)
“Of course, you oing to do about the clappers?”
“It’s alright”
I used [Psychokinesis] to “fix” the clappers in place
I usually used [Psychokinesis] for s but now, conversely, I used it to “stop it fro”
It’s the concept of reversal
While rappling hook onto the steel threads and boulders and pull, rising higher and higher with the counterforce
Checking the clappers with [Night Vision] and [Farsight], I fix the so they were very sensitive, but I somehow reached the end of the hole after tens of seconds and o out above the surface
Of course, the flying Melby was following behind me
If Melby was alone, she could go outside this way and return to the Fairy Hamlet, but she orried about me and tried to stay with me as much as possible
“―― It’s the stars”
“You’re right, how pretty”
Being unable to see the stars underground was natural, as there were few chances to even see the sun directly
We’re not moles, stress would accumulate even for someone other than Melby
“Now then, let’s look for flowers”
“Eh, flowers? I-it’s fine, you don’t really……”
“It’s not fine Since the princess finally expressed her wishes, I’d like to grant it”
