“I see, I see, I see, I see, this is interesting.” (Cry)

I quietly gazed at the shining crown as I *un, un* nod.

I may be weak, but I am still a Treasure Hunter. I would be lying if I said I am not interested in ruins and gimmicks. I just place more importance on safety. So I am not afraid to take my ti and thoroughly investigate a Treasure Shrine that is safe.

After descending the stairs from the hidden entrance for a few seconds, what was there was a very interesting hidden room.

A statue looking up to the sky and a silver crown. And finally, a big red button.

What is the truth behind these three things?

And Mary-san’s call that got cut in the middle.

My Treasure Hunter blood is boiling. I want to think about it carefully, but quite a bit of ti has passed since I entered the Treasure Shrine. If I don’t hurry back, it will be morning soon.

“Well, I guess I will take the crown for now. I am a Treasure Hunter after all……” (Cry)

Is what I tell myself as I lift the crown from the pedestal. The crown is light. I *kurukuru* spin it around to examine it, but there is nothing particularly noteworthy, just so pattern engraved on it.

*Fumufumu*, I see…… So this is the Relic? Doesn’t seem to be what I want tho’.

Then I look at the statue that has been ostentatiously installed. It is a strange human-shaped statue. There is a groove on its head. A groove just the right size to fit the crown.

I *un, un* nod. It is a simple gimmick that even an idiot can figure out. Seriously, this Treasure Shrine is treating like an idiot.

I just need to put this crown on that statue, right?

…………………… Uuuuuuuuuun.

After much deliberation, I decided to place the crown on my head. No, I get it, ok? I get that all I have to do is put this crown on that statue. I also get that so kind of gimmick would activate.

But you know…… That would leave with very little to gain.

I ca here to obtain a Relic, you know. I don’t know if this crown is a Relic or not. But I think it would be fine to put it on after I have confird whether it is a Relic or not.

I found it, so it is mine. That is the rule in Treasure Shrines.

The words “Failure as a Treasure Hunter” co to my mind. But honestly, I have already failed as a Treasure Hunter a long ti ago.

And look, Mary-san didn’t say to put the crown on it either. Although she might have planned to say it later before my phone ran out of battery……

Ard with logic, I take a breather.

All that is left is this button, huh………… Just as I am thinking that, a gust of cold air suddenly blows in from the entrance.

“Ah, Lucia” (Cry)

The person who cos down as if she were tumbling down the stairs is unmistakably Lucia.

var adx_id_10791 = docunt.getElentById('bg-ssp-10791'); adx_id_10791.id = 'bg-ssp-10791-' Math.floor(Math.random() * Date.now()); window.pubadxtag = window.pubadxtag || []; window.pubadxtag.push({zoneid: 10791, id: adx_id_10791.id, wu: window.location.href})

She is breathing heavily, and her skin is pale. And her gaze is sharp.

Her behavior doesn’t seem right. Her eyes widen as she looks at .

This is, the pattern where I get scolded if I don’t say sothing.

I imdiately speak to Lucia.

“Etto………… What’s up, out at this ti of the night? What a coincidence.” (Cry)

“Hh!? Th-That’sss, what I should be sayiiiiiiiiiiiing!” (Lucia)

The cold air rushes in, and frost forms on the walls and floor. This ti, it isn’t particularly comfortable, so I cannot help but sneeze. Cold air attacks that do not cause damage are one of the few attacks that even the Barrier Ring cannot counter. Ɽ₳𐌽O͍BÈș

“Th-That’s, obviously, you see………… That’s right! I was looking for a Relic! I found so really good info. Should I tell you about it later?” (Cry)

“Hh………… Do you, know why, I am here? Nii-san?” (Lucia)

A stifled voice. If you think about it calmly, you will get it. To enter this 『Treasure Shrine from Another Dinsion』, you need information obtained from an email sent to my smartphone. The fact that she is here ans that she must have seen the note I left behind and co here――.

There, I blink as I see Lucia’s face regaining color as she turns slightly red.

“Areh? Did I make you worry?” (Cry)

“………… Are you stupid?” (Lucia)

“N-No, it is alright because this Treasure Shrine is safe. I knew no Phantom would appear there……” (Cry)

“………………” (Lucia)

Lucia is *purupuru* trembling silently. This is bad……

It might sound like an excuse, but I had no intention of causing you any worry. I was just planning to quickly obtain the Relic and return just as quickly. To think it would take this long before I got my hands on a Relic………… In other words, it is all that Mary’s fault for calling .

Now that Lucia has arrived, my little adventure is over. I don’t want to worry her anymore, and I am starting to get sleepy.

But I really wanted a Relic……

“Well, sorry about that. I have finished everything I had to do here, so let’s go ho quickly. Lucia is so kind.” (Cry)

“Hh………… Why you…………” (Lucia)

Lucia finally seems to be regaining her composure.

I have always felt that I could never win against Lucia. After all, I have been looking after her since I was old enough to rember (Although recently she is the one looking after ).

As I am *nikoniko* smiling, Lucia sighs as if she has resigned herself.

“Haaaah………… Right. I got a little, carried away. There are many, many things I want to ask you, but I am sure everyone is worried, so let’s go ho quickly.” (Lucia)

Things you want to ask , huh…… I don’t really have anything in particular I want to talk about. This Treasure Shrine certainly does not have Phantom, but there is no Relic either. Overall, exploring it was a complete waste of ti. Well, at least it was *wakuwaku* exciting, tho’.

Lucia heads toward the entrance.

Just as I am about to follow her, I suddenly rember one thing I have forgotten. I cannot believe I actually rembered, I am brilliant today.

Then, with a smile on my face, I *pochitto* press the button on the table.

The world trembles. Lucia imdiately whips around and lunges toward . She has a strained expression.

“!??? Nii-san, what, did you just do!?” (Lucia)

“Eh? I just pressed the button tho’?” (Cry)

“Why!? Why did you press it!?” (Lucia)

“No, it is because Mary-san specifically told to absolutely not press it――” (Cry)

“You were told not to press it, so why did you press iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!!” (Lucia)

Lucia grabs by the shoulders and *gatagata* shakes violently.

“That’s not… Lucia, listen! Mary-san, has, told , similar things, over, and over, again, up, until, now. Look, with, this smartphone――” (Cry)

If you let give you an excuse, I have done a lot of similar things over and over again before I got here. I was told to press a button I shouldn’t pressed, I removed a talisman I shouldn’t removed, and I opened a well I shouldn’t opened. So, of course I will press the last button too.

“In the first place, wasn’t the other side of the line a Phantooooom? Don’t listen to what a Phantom sayssssssssssssss! Moh, moh, moh, moh, mooooooooooh!” (Lucia)

Shouts Lucia. It has been a while since I have heard such a loud scream that makes my ears *kiiin* ring.

And then, the world switched with a loud noise.

Thanks for reading! Couldn’t post it yesterday but here is the second part of the chapter No one can stop Cry! You gotta press the big red button that say “Do not press!”. It is basic human instinct XD But Cry’s solution to people being Spirited Away is to rge the Treasure Shrine with the real world… Well you cannot be Spirited Away if there is no place to be Spirited Away! Also Lucia’s interaction with Cry is super funny too!
