Chapter 84: Infiltration
So, from where are we going to enter?
I did a preliminary investigation and eliminated the areas with the least amount of security, so lets head in from there.
Like in Japan, there was no sense in being on the lookout for surveillance cameras, but even so, there was no reason to go in head-on and uninhibitedly.
I attempted to retrieve the note I had prepared from my pocket, yet the paper wasnt felt on my fingertips. This was strange, did I drop it somewhere?
I then remembered that I was wearing these pants the other day when I had a match with Fina. Perhaps I had dropped it at that moment since I had moved rather vigorously. It was, however, probably not all that worrying.
With no choice but to rely on my intuition to some extent, we came to a corner of the high wall surrounding the library that I had spotted in advance. Then, I immediately asked Mira to cast her magic.
New Rise, Hide, Owl Eye, Invisible, Slip Throw
The fan that Mira was always carrying was apparently a magical tool.
From textbook-level magic such as Inforce to advanced-class magic I have only known from books, a variety of grant magic was employed. She was indeed Alices master. A sense of omnipotence ruled her body as if she had transformed into a different person.
I havent received enhancement magic in a long time, but magic is incredible after all.
Rather than saying magic, its because of Ms. Miras competence. Even if I cast the same magic over you, it wouldnt overflow with this much power.
I chuckled bitterly at Felts impression, and she looked at me with half-opened eyes. No, this part was true, you know.
Among the magic I just cast, there is also the magic of passing through the walls. You can go through this wall without having to jump over it, so feel free to do so.
Are you for real
My body has become invisible, my presence has faded, and I can pass through walls at will. If such a thing were possible in Japan, anything would be conceivable.
Well then, I am off.
Mmm. You can get in touch with me at any moment because my Message is constantly open.
Even though it was called a book storage room, it reminded me more of a bank vault. The room consisted of wide white walls and floor, with nothing in the center other than a massive door. Even the central door had a gigantic vermilion magic stone set in the center as if it was glaring at us intruders who had come in unceremoniously.
So, do you have a strategy for this one too?
Eh?
Dont give me that look. No matter how I look at it, theres something in the depths of that place that you are after. But I am asking if there is a method to successfully break through that door.
Oh, you mean that? Its easy.
When I brought out two new magic crystal stones, Felt raised a panicked voice.
W-Wait! Are you intending to destroy the entire door like you did just now!?
No doubt. In the first place, there is no way that you and I can open a door that looks so solid. Therefore, I will make the entire door and the barriers dissipate as well.
No, no, no, if you do that, they will definitely realize we are here!
Thats right. I left Mr. Gato on the first level because of this.
! Could it be that you have that initial
It would have been a different story had Ms. Mira been able to lift the barrier on this door too. Well, the greatest candidate for this position is Mr. Gato, so lets count on him to do his best to buy us some time.
Are you just going to cast aside Gato?
No, I am not that heartless. If I can safely snatch what I am seeking, I intend to retrieve him as well and escape as planned.
As I approached the door, the stone on the door began to glow as if to warn me.
Well then, Ms. Felt, from this point on we are in a race against time. Our haste will ultimately lead to saving the others, so please be on your toes.
I get it!
Felt, who shouted in desperation, was my cue, and I shattered both of the magic crystal stones in my hand.
