Seiju no Kuni no Kinju Tsukai

Why is Mr. Currier here?

Damn, I just said I went back to my quarters like that......

Were you going to come to the Holy Ruins once you returned to the quarters?

Mr. Currier looks kind of nasty.

"Um, Mr. Currier"

When I spoke, Mr. Currier frowned, as if he'd given up something.

And

"- You're an idiot?

Mr. Currier's expression was harsh.

Her gaze constantly checks my whole body.

"With that gear, and I can't believe you're coming to the Holy Ruins by yourself... no matter how much curse you can use, I don't think you're sane."

I... couldn't return the word.

I was going to go right back - yes, I couldn't give it back to her.

Because I was about to go further down the hierarchy earlier.

Mr. Currier doesn't get out of tune to blame, he continues.

"Earlier was Daiwa, 'eaten' by the qualities of the sacred ruins, and so on... Occasionally, some love to dive alone, but it's recommended that more than two people dive because diving alone has a higher chance of being 'eaten'. It's easy to blunt your mind when judging you're alone. Especially not here."

…………

I was definitely about to be 'eaten'.

I was about to go 'one more level or so' and 'ahead' without thinking.

Besides, you won't be able to use the transfer device.

"... Yes"

That's right.

My biggest problem with future Holy Site attacks was' it '.

Students seen in the square before diving, transferred.

They returned with a transfer device to return to the ground in the ruins.

but how to start that transfer device - that was the problem for me.

The transfer device is activated by pouring in the saccharin.

One of the major reasons why 'whether sacraments can be handled' is important in the qualities of students enrolled in this school is here.

In a post-class explanation, I found out about it.

If the sacrament cannot be handled, the transfer device cannot be used within the sacred ruins.

In other words, those who cannot handle the sacraments must search the stairs to the upper floors on their own.

In the sacred ruins, where the map makes no sense, the transfer device adds to its importance.

Actually, I figured out a way to get the students I met in the ruins to help me only on my return.

Instead, I get rid of the demon with my curse of pushing it over on my return - on this exchange condition, I thought it would be a realistic idea to ask him to cooperate only on his return.

This is not a complete solo attack, so I couldn't get lost on the proposal to the end......

However, if you actually step into the Holy Ruins in this way...... the solo strategy seems impossible in the first place.

Most importantly, I don't meet people.

Or maybe if it's a big room or a return room we meet......

But I don't even have that certainty right now.

At first, I thought if I could just use a curse, I'd figure it out.

But as I was saying, sometimes chants don't come in time.

Holy ruins, they're not that sweet.

My thoughts were sweet.

So,

"... sorry, I didn't think enough"

I leaned down and said so.

And Mr. Currier stepped forward silently.

She grabbed my arm and pulled towards herself, closing the door.

"In the meantime, come here"

Slightly we stood side by side, keeping our backs on the quiet aisle wall.

Seeing, Mr. Currier had a long sword down his belt.

However, the outfit remains uniform.

I haven't even changed into exploratory clothes.

You noticed my gaze, Mr. Currier drops his gaze on his outfit.

"Hung... I was planning to be right back today, too. Besides, sometimes I get 'eaten' by holy ruins. Even with this gear, I'd be able to afford it up to about twenty levels by myself.... I've never been there."

Apparently, he was very confident.

However, as far as the pouch and water bottle on the belt are concerned, I am getting ready at a minimum.

I guess there's a little food in the porch, too.

Incidentally, within the Holy Ruins, they say they are less hungry or want to go wash their hands than on the ground.

I don't know what the principle is.

I've been through several things in the previous world where my appetite dropped when I was mentally and only water went through my throat, or when I was walking in a bookstore I somehow wanted to go to the bathroom.

Outreach, the human body may easily depend on the mental state and environment.

... Of course, there must be some decent alternative mechanism for the Holy Ruins, but that's what my image looked like.

Also, it's not like I'm not hungry.

Much better than on the ground, that's all.

"I'm going to go to the Holy Ruins, he said something like that, so if you come and think about it... I don't know if you're going to dive alone... you're crazy"

"... I have no words to give back"

…………

Hmm?

What, that?

"Um, maybe Mr. Currier... worried about me, in the Holy Ruins?

Time stops.

Oops, there was a noise moving inside the ruins somewhere.

Mr. Currier turns away, puffy.

"... I don't know"

The sacred ruins divide the parties from each other.

Assuming that's the case, Mr. Currier will have been following me for a long time, while maintaining a certain distance...

For example, because the distance was close, the Holy Monument judged me and Mr. Currier to be 'parties' and didn't split......

Look at Mr. Currier's neat side.

If she was worried about me...... wow, I'm glad.

At the same time, I reflected so much.

For letting her do that.

"... I'm sorry, Mr. Currier"

Slightly, Mr. Currier breathes.

"If you reflect, ask that Archrite daughter around tomorrow to join the offensive squad"

"Huh?"

"From what I've seen, that girl, she seems to be buying you something. I may not be able to ask for it from myself because I've always declared that I won't work with anyone but you, but if you ask for it, it must be quite possible."

Oh, well.

Currier doesn't know that Cecily invited me to the offensive squad...

"... I declined the invitation from Mr. Cecily"

Tickled, and Mr. Currier's shoulder moved.

"What?"

"Actually, Mr. Currier asked me to join the offensive squad after he left the classroom."

"... how did you say no? I think it would be best for you to work with those Arklight daughters..."

"Mr. Currier and I wanted to get together."

And, Currier accidentally, he just did his hand around my ear.

Her expression had a slight, caring color.

"You... are you sure you're all right with your head?

"... Huh?

"Say no to that girl's invitation and you want to pair up with me? I don't know what that means. Besides, after I said no, I dived into the sacred ruins by myself without forming with anyone... really, what are you thinking?

I missed my gaze.

I'm kind of embarrassed.

"Me... so far I'm not going to work with anyone other than Mr. Currier, because I don't"

Mr. Currier withdrew his hand.

And she did her hand to her forehead in a slightly troubled breeze.

"That's why I'm not impressed with diving alone."

"The hierarchical record of this school... if I dive in and repaint it by myself, Mr. Currier will admit my strength and put together an offensive squad, I suppose."

I tightened my mouth.

"But... I think you were right about being frivolous. Honestly, I was sweet about the sacred ruins."

"Why?

"Huh?"

Mr Currier said in a slightly frightened manner.

And I put my arms together, and I asked.

"Why do you want to work with me?

"Me too, I don't know... I just feel so much stronger about wanting to pair up with this guy..."

A weak, but somewhat bitter face, Mr. Currier.

"For such vague reasons, you can't convince me the other way around... just -"

The look on Mr. Currier's face tightens.

"Again, there is something about the Sixth House. I said that earlier. That's why you're working with me."

"Mr. Currier."

I blocked her speech.

"Previously, I was wrong about the question."

"What?"

I hold my fist in and look straight into her eyes.

And I heard.

"The people in that sixth house - they're stronger than the curse...?

Moments later, Mr. Currier's expression changed.

He opened his eyes slightly and looked like he had been stuck by surprise.

And after a few seconds, he quietly opened his shapely lips.

"... I don't know. It's... I don't know either."

"I'm prepared if my life is in danger."

For once, it's like he's dead anyway.

But I also have a dream of being made.

So,

"... naturally, I'm not going to die easily"

Chip, Mr. Currier pounded his tongue.

The tongue just didn't look like it was against me.

Rather, it seems to be directed at itself.

"Ask only one"

"Yes."

Mr. Currier's cleavage eyes shoot through my eyes.

"What do you think of death?

About death......

Death.

What do you think?

In the previous world, it felt alive, but just alive.

But in today's world, I also feel that death is closer than in the previous world.

Me.

My own thoughts.

Answer.

That 's--

"Whether you're alive or dead, in the end, you're convinced or you were... I think that's where it matters. If you're not convinced, it still doesn't make sense - I don't know if this is the answer..."

My voice dropped slightly in the second half, but that was my honest idea.

And, after hearing my words, now openly, Mr. Currier's expression changed.

He looked unexpected, like he was taken aback, like that.

I thought so, and then she leaked a smile.

It was like an accidental leaked smile.

"Currier......?

"Hum, I see."

Mr. Currier looked away somewhere.

"... There used to be a guy who said the same thing. Oh well... think so"

and, at that time, the lower part of the nearby wall collapsed.

Coming out of the hole is Goblin.

"Gigi...... Gear!

Mr. Currier turns his back off the wall in slow motion.

Then she put her hand on the pattern of the sword, relative to the goblin.

"... gi? Gu...... gu......"

Goblins step back.

And

"Gi...... gi je je je!

Oh, my God, I rushed back into the hole where I came out.

"Hung."

Mr. Currier takes his hand off the pattern of the sword.

Whoa... but could it be, Mr. Currier, killer? You just drove Goblin back...?

Wow......

- Are you convinced?

With his back turned, Mr. Currier said.

"Huh?"

"Having had a relationship with me, if you got caught up in trouble with the people in the Sixth House and lost your life... are you convinced?

Um, that means...

"You mean with me, you'll put it together?

"I'm asking for answers"

"Also, of course! Instead, if Mr. Currier will put it together, I can only be convinced!

Chip, Mr. Currier struck his tongue again.

"... really, it's my favorite."

"Ha..."

I cheek and smile back.

"And I knew it - stupid. I can't live long, guys like you."

"Could be"

Step forward, Mr. Currier said.

"Hum... I'll protect you whenever I can"

And he sounds his shoes on the stone floor, and Mr. Currier walks out.

"Then we'll look for the stairs back to the ground first. One level would be quicker to find the stairs. Besides, if I were in a room with demons, I'd kill them instantly. Don't worry."

"This is comforting..."

After this, me and Mr. Currier found a staircase back to the ground in a few minutes and returned to the square in front of the Holy Ruins.
