“Chapter 85: Night of the Astray 2”

– Phew, I almost didn’t make it.

Despite Letty’s little scene I managed to get to the toilet in time.

The toilet wasn’t flushing like a human one. It just had a hole. I’m not sure how the sewage system works or if they even have one.

– I should stop thinking about it.

Before my mind reached unwanted places, I took another look at the note and came back the way I got here.

– It’s really cold in here huh…

The castle is inhabited by the undead so the temperature has probably never been an issue before.

I wish there was something to keep me warm-

– GWOOOOOOOOHH

– HYEGH!?

A skull appeared right in front of my eyes. The red circles in its eye sockets were staring at my soul.

– Oo. This. Possible? Takaya-sama?

– Huh? Oh, wait. Werg? Is that you?

– Ye. That one. Werg. I patrol for Mumuruu-sama.

I only recognized him because of his silver crown.

– What wrong, Takaya-sama? Room far.

– What? Mumuruu’s notes said this was the shortest path back to the rooms…

I looked past Werg and saw stairs that should NOT be there according to the note.

– Oh.

Mumuruu’s notes only say “And here you turn right” or “Left this way”. It does not say anything about a staircase with a lever on the side.

– Werg-san, by any chance, do the corridors in the castle change according to the time?

– Yes. Just change now.

As a fortress, it would be meaningless if intruders knew the structure’s layout, so the corridors are constantly changing.

Well, I’m lost.

I should’ve accepted Letty’s help, even if at the cost of my virginity.

– Worry don’t. I lost too. Happen often. Michael. Big Brother. Lose too. Very.

– Ah, right.

This sack of bones won’t be of any help.

NOW I’m lost for sure.

– Uh, let’s see if I can find the right path.

I could just stop here and wait for Letty and Mumuruu to look for me, but I’m too scared to stay here.

I kept hearing a rumbling sound coming from the toilet. And I didn’t want to find out what it was.

I decided to walk up the stairs that just appeared in front of me.
