Chapter 293.2. The School Festival Comes To A Close

-Miu’s POV-

I’ll order him to keep it a secret. This way, no one will find out, right? Heimdall nodded in agreement.

Alright, I’ll do my best!

I raised my tiny hands and got ready, full of determination.

-Due to an emergency, switch the system to local mode. Support program not operational. Initiating current status assessment... Completed-

She hummed a little tune like a baby chick and delivered the lines like a pro. Hehe, Mii-chan can do it too.

-External connection impossible. High probability of detection if the dimensional barrier is breached. Confirm [Ritual of Sacrifice] internally-

“...Ritual of Sacrifice?”

Heimdall asked, so she nodded. All knowledge is within her. The same magic that created this world in her previous memories was involved.

“Yes, they probably intended to outsmart me, their enemies. But it was done sloppily, so it turned into a doll show. Originally, they used humans, but they lacked the power to create humans, so they connected consciousnesses to plushies and performed the play.”

I pointed to the glass tubes. Inside several cloudy glass tubes, people got sealed with their eyes closed.

“Those people have their consciousness connected to the dolls. They were being used as cast members for the repeated [Ritual of Sacrifice]. I guess Mii-chan is the sacrifice!”

“Dolls... You can’t get fooled by puppets, right?”

“...Mii-chan doesn’t know.”

I turned away and whistled nonchalantly. Whistle, whistle.

The plushies rolled on the floor. Mii-chan plans to take them all with her.

“They tried to seal Mii-chan’s consciousness and make her the sacrifice. But they misunderstood...”

“Misunderstood what?”

“To seal Mii-chan, they made the outer walls that strong, but the internal systems are on an amateur level, so Mii-chan could easily enter the control compartment!”

Heimdall was persistent, but some things are a maiden’s secret.

Perhaps they were still trying to open the gate and hadn’t realized they had an intruder. There was no way they could have thought someone had already broken in.

“...Have you returned to your senses? Back to normal? Back? No, that faint feeling of power. It must be a misunderstanding...”

Heimdall wore a puzzled expression. She tried not to dwell on it too much.

“Yeah. Mii-chan is back! Now, shall we go help Tamamo-chan and the others?”

I hadn’t expected my memories to get sealed, but I had prepared well enough, so there shouldn’t be any problems.

-Let’s escape! Defeat Hrungrnir and use its soul to break the wall-

“Okay. Wafers!”

I switched my consciousness completely. It was time for a counterattack.

-Stone Flame Flower: 10 Wafers-

I released my martial art, kicked off the ground, and took flight.

[Stone Flame Flower]

I grabbed Heimdall, twisted my body, and let magic flow throughout my entire being.

I decided to use the martial art [Stone Flame Flower], a version of the throwing martial art [Stone Fire] that attacked all enemies.

“Why are you grabbing meee?”

“I don’t have any other weapons on hand except for Heimdall!”

My target was all the glass cylinders. They were weak weapons, so even a feeble weapon would do.

“Here!”

“Aaaargh!”

I forcefully threw Heimdall. Heimdall roared with battle spirit and divided into countless duplicates, flying into the glass cylinders.

All the glass cylinders shattered, and people burst out of them.

Among them, she could see Tamamo and the others. I sighed in relief. They were safe, thank goodness.

Heimdall celebrated his achievements and rolled happily on the floor, his joyous voice filling the room.

Now, where was Hrungrnir? Hopefully, he would be the key to escaping outside.
