CH 107

After getting out of the bath, Kuzuha-chan and Richelle-san take me to the library.

I can feel the smell of the old papers around me after getting out of hot water. It is not a bad feeling. 

Even so I must ask them first

“So what’s wrong with this place?”  (Arge)

“Can you see there is a road there?”  (Richelle)

Richelle-san point her finger to the corner of the library. There was a gap in the bookshelf unnaturally, and the other side seemed to be a passage.

“What’s going on?”  (Arge)

“It looks like a hidden passage, I’ve explored with Kuzuha-sama before.”  (Richelle)

“Haa, I see … Kuzuha-chan, so how do you think about that passage?” (Arge)

“It was serious! I have no problem with it though!” (Kuzuha)

It seems that it was serious.

For the time being, I looked into the other side of the aisle. It seems dark, but it doesn’t matter to me. The vampire’s vision can even see in the darkness.

There are signs that there are arrows stuck in the walls, holes on the floor are clear, and something just exploded.

The stairs can be seen in the back of the road, but the road lead to it was in terrible condition.

“… It seems that you stepped on a lot of trap” (Arge)

“Yes, Richelle went ahead and started all the traps … and I must help every single time … It was serious.”  (Kuzuha)

Indeed, it certainly seems that what Kuzuha-chan said was true.

Still, from her face, I can feel that she didn’t feel tired but rather had fun as Kuzuha-chan is laughing. Even though she thought that it was difficult, it must be fun.

As for Richelle-chan who was on the side of being protected, she also smile.

“Kuzuha-sama has saved me from dangerous many times” (Richelle)

“Well, I can tell just by seeing it.” (Arge)

If you look at the misery of the aisle, you can predict what is mostly what happened.

“But I can’t see any golems, even you guys cause a lot of noises” (Arge)

“It seems that the golem will not come near here.”  (Kuzuha)

“… It is strange, is not it?”  (Richelle)

Golem should also use for security, so it is strange to say that they didn’t react with a lof of noises, especially this a hidden place need a lot of protection like this.

Well, but if they are surrounded a room with hidden passage, it will also like announce there was some important hidden there.

When I start walking in the hidden passage, there’re alot of dust and gunpowder’s smell stick to my nose.

Dust is due to this place isn’t cleaned for years, and gunpowder’s smell is from the explsion trap residue.

“… Well, it seems like you had activated all the trap”  (Arge)

“I wonder if it will release anymore?” (Richelle)

“It was innovative, wasn’t it?”  (Kuzuha)

“I’d say it was more novel like …” (Felnote)

I can hear the voice of Felnote-san from the back.

“It is quite narrow if we go with four people. Shall we divide in two rows?”  (Felnote)

“Please wait a moment, Felnote-san … so Richelle-san, what did you find ahead?”  (Arge)

“It’s a hidden room, but it was locked by magic, I thought that Arge-sama could open it.” (Richelle)

In other words, is it my responsibility to open the lock?

I feel like I’m carrying a thief all purpose tool, but I also concerned about this place.

What kind of relationship between me and Cyril? Perhaps I will get some hints in this place

In order to find an answer the mystery that appeared abruptly, I started walking.

“Light”  (Felnote)

As Felnote-san’s voice echo, light appear on her fingertips. It is unnecessary for me and Kuzuha-chan, but it is certainly better to have a light because this aisle is dark.

Ignore the burning smell of trap and go through the aisle while avoiding the difficult walking place.

Looking into the stairs, there was also a trace of traps there as well.

Every trap have been activated, which is quite a terrible thing, but it seems we will be able to pass easy now.

“Well then, shall we go?”  (Arge)

Talk to everyone and go down the stairs.

The stairs were difficult to walk, but it wasn’t long. It takes few minutes to reach the end of the step.

Before our eyes, there was a huge iron door.

I gently touch and push. The door didn’t move at all, but I can felt the flow of magical power rebound.

“…This is”  (Arge)

“Certainly, this magical power has wavelength similar to Arge” (Felnote)

Felnote-san, touching the door in the same way next to me as she talking.

Certainly, the quality of magical power I feel from my fingertip is the same as mine.

“… Open sesame” (Arge) (original was “Please Open”)

I use my magic the same way with recovery magic.

The recovery magic that I use is a powerful magic that nor only heal wounds but also curses and poisons.

And a seal is close to a curse.

And then I hear a loud noise, the magical power that covers the door scatters and disappear. I try to push the door again, this time it opened obediently.

Dusty air escapes from the gap of the door and strokes my skin.

I stepped inside the door, and the room appear before my eyes is…

“This is … the office?” (Arge)

The word leaked naturally as I evaluate this place.

A set of tools for writing is lined up on a chic black desk.

A stack of notes on the edge of the desk is a number of documents.

I approached and reached for a note. Even if I do not know what the languages on the cover are, but I can understand the meaning with the language translation skill.

“This is a diary …” (Arge)

“Arge, you can read?” (Felnote)

“Yes. And in this case, I think this is Cyril’s diary.” (Arge)

“It looks like an ancient spiritual language, it is simple and legible.” (Richelle)

Richelle get interested while looking at the diaty in my hand.

“Arge, what will you do?” (Felnote)

“… I will read it” (Arge)

I understand that reading a diary of another person is never a good thing.

Still, I chose to read a diary. I will not understand anything unless I read it.

“… Then, it will be bad if she (Igu) come back while you are still reading.” (Felnote)

“Yes, the golems will not come near here, but Spirit-san will come back after she repel the thieves … Then, she will look for Arge-sama” (Richelle)

“Then … Shall we go and buy Arge-san some time?” (Kuzuha)

“… I’m sorry and Please.” (Arge)

And then Felnote-san and Kuzuha-chan leave the room with a smile.

Richelle-san is excited looking around the room. And she set her eyes on the bookshelf in the corner of the room and began to read those book.Let’s leave her alone for now.

I sit on a desk that looks expensive and begin to choose from the diary stack.

I go back to the year written on the cover and decide to open it from the oldest number.

As I turning its pages, I can get the meaning even I don’t know the language.

“… !?”  (Arge)

Suddenly, I become sleep like I never sleep before, my consciousness is fading and I’m fallen asleep

And after I wake up I saw someone who looked like me. (TN: Arge’s consciousness was suck in dream world, her body is in sleep state)
