It was night ti when everyone was asleep and only a sliver of moonlight illuminated the city.
I was near the estate where I killed Gram the other day.
I had left the city, but I rembered sothing that I had to do and returned by myself.
Kurou, Ria, and Alia were camping outside the city, waiting for .
Yoru was, as usual, sitting on my shoulder.
Here, huh.
The neighborhood was deserted despite it being in the middle of town, and I stopped in front of the affixed barrier that could not be seen by others.
I had theEye of the World, so that place that was not reflected in the eyes of others could not be hidden from .
If I were to hide soone, I would put them sowhere near , and underground.
If even the door was made to be imperceptible, then most people would not even notice that there was a door that led underground.
Ironically, it seems that Gram and I had a similar train of thought when we wanted to hide sothing.
And, the maze-like city of Uruk was the perfect place to conceal sothing.
Shadow Magic
When I pointed to it, theShadow Magicdevoured the barrier.
Other than that, everything was as it was.
I still did not know just what kind of magicShadow Magicwas, but it was highly practical, so I used it often.
If Commander Saran saw that, his eyes would probably be shining.
no, co to think of it, it was after Commander Saran had died that theShadow Magicdid as I said.
The barrier shattered, as if it were glass.
In the place where there was nothing just a mont ago, a door appeared.
It was most likely a type of barrier that confused the senses.
Yoru, are the preparations completed?
Aah, Master-dono. Im ready whenever you are.
After calling out to Yoru, I opened the door.
It was dim inside, just barely able to see my own feet due to the moonlight.
It was dusty, and it didnt seem as if it was regularly frequented by people.
As soon as the door opened, a set of stairs appeared, and it seed to lead to a place underground.
This was Gram, so I thought that there would be so kind of chanism, but it seems that it was just the barrier that concealed the door.
It was slightly anticlimactic.
Maa, even if there was just the barrier, it did well in concealing the door, so it might not have been discovered by normal humans.
Suddenly, I felt that sothing was out of place and when I looked at the inner part of the door, the door knob that was on the other side was not there.
Which ant that it would be correct to think that the person was imprisoned here.
Only the sound of my footsteps echoed within the darkness that grew darker the further down I descended.
The staircase was only wide enough for a single person to pass through, and my feet could still be faintly seen.
Maybe I shouldve brought a lamp or sothing.
I was pondering over sothing a little as I cautiously descended down the stairs step by step.
Of course, I had a reason for coming here.
I had forgotten as we left Uruk because of Kurou, but I was requested by the elves to save their family that had been abducted.
At that ti, I think I told them that I would pick them up if it was along the way.
I had, more or less, confird the structure of the building when I ca to assassinate him, but I had noticed the hidden door at that ti.
Due to the shock I received after assassinating soone and whatever else, I had neglected it.
If it was like this, then I wouldve broken my promise.
So, I purposefully ca back.
maa, those guys too, they probably wanted to co rescue them themselves if they could.
I tried putting myself in their shoes.
If kaasan and Yui were abducted, would I entrust their rescue to soone else, when I could go save them but was unable to due to other ties of obligations.
No, if it was the current , then I would do it myself.
To say nothing of those elves who lived longer than the beastn, and even had magic power.
I could avoid the confrontation of the two races, and I couldnt abandon the request that was filled with heartrending grief that was entrusted to by the elves.
Did you say sothing? Master-dono.
No, nothing.
Perhaps we had gone down the second flight of stairs.
We were finally able to reach the end of the stairs.
My eyes that had beco accustod to the darkness landed on sothing other than the stairs.
is there soone there?
The words that had a strange intonation similar to a certain dialect reverebrated.
Did you co to threaten to make more drugs? I told you this before, but I will no longer make drugs that turn people into wastes! I dont need food either. It would be better to die than make drugs that break people! Also, quickly send these people ho!
The persons voice was trembling, but the resolve in their voice was easy to distinguish.
I see, so youre Amaryllis Cluster, huh.
It was written on the docunt that Yoru swiped, that the one who allegedly made the strengthening drug was a previous pageant winner.
Ria and the others seed to be searching for her, though they didnt know of her existence, but who wouldve thought that she had been here all along.
It was truly hard to see what was under your nose the entire ti.
Co to think of it, when they asked for identification papers at the reception desk, we showed them our dog tags, which was proof that we were adventurers, but most identification papers stated ones occupation as well.
Of course, it was necessary for identity verification, but it could probably verify ones occupation as well.
I didnt think that they would have it in their heads, to use an ordinary woman after discovering that she was a pharmacist.
who? Co out.
When Amaryllis heard my voice, she sounded frightened.
I used a magic stone to light up the torch that hung on a nearby wall.
