D Genesis, 3 Years after Dungeon Appeared

The grounds of the building were as large as the standard school grounds.

On the side, we tried to peek through the window into the building, but the position of the window was elevated, the glass was white and dirty with dust, and nothing was clear.

The pale shadows in the mansion were there, walking around like servants.

Hih!

I heard Miyoshi breathing, so I looked back in a hurry, and there was a pale shadow and face facing through the window.

The shadow repeatedly behaved as if it were wiping the window, but of course the window dust did not fall.

It looks like you're piling stones in Sainokawara.

The shadow is probably always there, trying to clean the windows.

But as the years passed, it was only by putting dust in the windows that they would not pluck it away.

Especially the outside is terrible.

Driven by a strange rage, I took a towel out of the storage and cleaned the outside of the window to match the movement of the shadow hand.

Although there was some dust on the inside of the window, it was cleaned to look different.

At that moment, the motion of the shadow stopped perfectly, and I felt like I had eyes.

After standing still for a while, the shadow turned around and left the room.

"Senpai, didn't you do something stupid and try not to stimulate it?

Miyoshi, who was watching as she breathed, whispered.

"Sorry."

"Well, I don't know how you feel. It was like Black's left shift department."

That's what Miyoshi said, and I felt like I understood the identity of my anger.

Behind the mansion were spreads of what used to be perhaps a clean mown lawn.

Strange twisted trees grow everywhere.

"It feels like a while after the nuclear war."

"Yes, but I'd rather be afraid of a garden like Royal Victoria Park (* 1) here."

"Who's in charge?"

By the time I walked along the back yard and turned to the other side, it was past 45 minutes.

So we found a little door a few steps up the stairs.

"If it's a normal mannerhouse, I'm sure it's a trick. On the other side, it was like a drawing room or a parlor."

The drawing room is the reception room and the parlor is the guest room. Does that mean that door is in the kitchen?

The door didn't open automatically just by approaching, like the previous front entrance.

There's no sign of anything beyond the door. Nevertheless, the ghost wasn't good at life detection, so he didn't do much work.

"For now, let's see if we can open it."

We split up on the left and right side of the door, and I grabbed the door handle.

"Senpai, it looks like we're Special Forces."

"No, they're like houses of horror."

The Delta Force training facility, a US Army special forces unit, is called the House of Horror.

"If I train, I don't usually have to die..."

I put a lot of effort into pulling, but the door just made a noise and there was no sign of opening at all.

Miyoshi said unfortunately when she saw it.

"... senpai. The western doors are mostly open."

"Oops...."

The front door in Japan is mostly open, so I pulled it...

Re-participating and pushing lightly, the door opened inside, making a small noise.

The room with a gentle glance was a small room with slightly dark eyes. There were doors on the front and left, and doorless entrances on the right, opening their mouths to the darkness, but nothing else.

"Probably a battery or pantry on the right."

The battery is a grocery store.

The pantry is the same, but it also means the dining room.

"They used to store wine and other alcoholic beverages."

"... three good. I don't have time for this, so the way to the stop is NG."

Yes, I know that much ~

With all due respect, senpai, what a prep, but the sweat on your forehead tells the whole story.

"On the left is the normal kitchen. What do you want me to do?

"I have a lot of interest, but I don't have time. Let's go straight to the entrance hall for now."

Copy that.

We gently killed the footsteps and walked towards the front door.

"But you're a trespasser from anywhere, right?"

Last time I walked in the front door, Miyoshi destroyed the statue there, and we didn't do anything rough.

"Isn't it the tradition of JRPG to go into someone else's house and check out the barrels of tennis?

"Can you find a small medal?" (* 2)

That said, as I tried to reach the front door, I noticed something falling under my feet.

"What is this? Numerous beads?"

It was a strangely shaped item like a pearl.

It looks like a rosary.

"Rosario? No cross?

"Look, there are five beads in the part that jumps out of the circle. The two ends are big and the three between them are small."

Ah.

"And the part of the circle is a big bead followed by a small bead... maybe ten in a set, and it's been repeated five times."

I see.

I don't know the number between them unless I count them properly.

"That seems to be the structure of the rosary."

"Then what about the cross?

"Crucifix is supposed to be ahead of the popped up part....."

There was nothing there.

The last bead was just attached as if it meant the end, and there was no particular ripping afterwards.

"And that medallion, doesn't it look like Earth?

The medallion seems to be a slightly larger bead or ornament where the jumping part sticks to the ring. All the other beads were made of black matter, while the beads were slightly blue.

"Don't you think too much?

"Maybe."

Regardless, the shape matches the rosary.

"I'm sure some of those pale shadows are familiar with the religion of the planet."

I managed to put it in my pocket and stood up.

And like the back entrance, he carefully opened the front door.

Behind the door was a hallway that seemed to penetrate the building, straight down the back window.

Occasionally, the Ghost enters and leaves the room and walks in and out of the hallway, but they still ignore us as if we were invisible.

"When Attack Time comes, will they all attack?

Let's hope we get out of here.

About ten minutes before the time limit, we arrived at the entrance to the entrance hall.

The hall is like a library with walls filled with bookshelves.

The four-corner statue that was supposed to have been destroyed the other day was restored and the front entrance door was closed.

"Well, how is Lord Baroway?"

When I said so, Miyoshi was approaching the bookshelf on his own initiative and trying to do something.

"Hey, what are you doing?

"I tried to store the entire bookshelf, but I couldn't. Is it integrated with the museum?

Miyoshi said that and took the book out of the bookshelf, but apparently it couldn't be stored.

Does the book look like a museum?

Because you're conscious, it's going to be a scary idea, so let's stop.

Miyoshi tried to open it to photograph the contents with regret.

"Let me, senpai. Really? I can't even open this book.

"Hey, you have the Magic Book. If you try to force me to open it, I hear some things burn my hands, so watch out."

Um...

Miyoshi had no choice but to put it back on the bookshelf, and now he was shooting just the back cover.

But there's no Baroway. Because you didn't open the front door? So how do we get the inscription to appear?

"Miyoshi. Just keep an eye on the statues in the four corners of the room. If you're going to move, you can attack immediately."

Roger that.

After asking Miyoshi to do so, I had to walk towards the center of the room.

When it reached almost the center, a magical formation spread under its feet. I jump back into the corner of the room in a hurry.

"Coming!

As before, it was a pedestal with something like the page of The Book of Wanderers that approached from under the floor.

"What's wrong with being like a Guardian?

"After all, is it because you didn't open the front door from the back?

I don't know why, but I'm glad I saved you a wasted battle.

"So, what does it say this time?

"I'm sure it's important information -?!"

I came closer and peeked at it, and I was stunned.

Because at the end of the page, written in letters that we couldn't read, there was something we could read. It was an undisputed alphabet.

"Senpai...."

Ah.

It contained something like a signature written in a writing body. So, the slightly broken letter is Theodore N. I could read Tylor.

"Senpai, Tyler...."

"Maybe."

Theodore Tyler.

It was the same name as the man who was supposed to die in the most tragic accident in Nevada three years ago due to the dungeon.

"Is this some kind of joke?"

I don't know. If you know what it says, you know what it says. "

I took a detailed picture of the surroundings before storing the inscription.

At that moment, from the hallway side, a voice like a high armor scream came up.

"Senpai!

There was a pale shadow that had ignored us before, standing facing us.

A tall cry came from the big open mouth, and I thought the eyes of the face with no details opened up.

"Hmm...."

His eyes slipped and fell off, crawling towards us.

"That's where the eyeballs are....."

I fired a water lance at it and quickly selected the aubrist displayed in front of me and ran along with Miyoshi to the front entrance.

"Senpai! I won't open this door!

After gripping the door handle and pulling with all his might to confirm it, Miyoshi said while flying the gun and the iron ball.

I'm glad the Guardian didn't get in through the front door, but I'm surprised the door won't open.

I tried to smash an iron ball, but I didn't get a scratch. It seems to be treated the same way as a dungeon wall.

I was beginning to hear a lot of shouting in the hallway.

The ghost who missed the eyeball was just flying around, but when the ice cream touched it, the ghost's body rubbed through the ice cream.

"Senpai! Touching it seems to cut your health!

Is that Drain?

"Anyway, we're going to the hallway!

Got it!

What we saw running down the hallway was a swarm of ghosts coming and going.

When they find us, they start screaming, producing eyeballs out of their eyes, and then they start flying around in pieces.

The crowd coming from both the parlor and kitchen sides, we had to escape to the stairs that went upstairs.

"Senpai, in a few minutes. If it's time, break the window and jump!

"We don't have to, let's do it!

I threw an iron ball at the window, all the way up the stairs.

The iron ball that hit him with a loud noise bounced back, but there was no scratch on the window.

Miyoshi tried to open the window, but neither did you.

Se, Sepai ~

"Don't worry, if you're in trouble, knock them all down..."

"We don't have time!

Oh, that's right....

"Ah, there's something coming from here too!

Miyoshi reacted to a voice coming from the parlor side upstairs.

From below, the herd just came up.

I don't know where to run anymore, and when I thought about it... I saw an arrow on the dusty floor in front of me.

"Senpai!... but maybe it's a trap."

"There are traps and shit in this situation! Follow me!

Yes!

We ran after the arrows drawn one after the other.

Curiously, there were no ghost swarms ahead of the arrows. After going up and down several times, the last arrow drawn seemed to point to a more clogged room in the hallway.

"Back, back, up, up, up, up, up, down, down, down, this is the first floor, right here!

Miyoshi shouted as she saw signs of chasing him from behind.

"Back up. Back up. First floor?! Isn't this a two-story building?!

"Hmm...."

Miyoshi raised a strange voice that didn't make a sound, but there must have been a hidden third floor in the attic. I'm sure you will, let's do it!

Anyway, we ran towards the room.

"If that door doesn't open, it's getting clogged up.

"Is it a good day to die?

"Ya! I'm so heartbroken!" (* 3)

Without even looking behind, we held the door handle and pushed it hard.

The door of the room that I thought might not open was opened without any resistance, so we both stepped on it.

When he raised his head without turning, there stood a pale shadow.

Suddenly, as soon as she tried to step back, Miyoshi violently closed the door and locked it. Soon thereafter, I heard something hitting the door violently.

It seemed like a sturdy door, but it didn't seem like it would last much longer.

When I watched the shadow vigilantly, it pointed to a window.

"Senpai, that window..."

Ah.

There was a bright light coming in from the window that was pointed at. That was the window I wiped earlier.

Miyoshi rushed to the window and momentum pulled it up. As I thought, that window...

"It's open!

I looked at her - probably her - and thanked her.

"Thank you. Thank you."

"Senpai, hurry up!

Miyoshi pushed me over the window frame.

I nodded at it and approached her pale, somehow thanking her, I put the rosary I just got on her neck.

Strangely enough, it never passed through her body and never fell to the floor.

At that time, the building's bell tower began playing a farewell song. The outline of the room was gradually lost and gradually distorted.

"Well then, be well!

I don't know if I can hear you, but that's what I said, and I crossed the window frame.

At that moment, I heard a crack in the door from behind.

Looking back slightly, I saw a pale shadow standing to protect the distorting window.

(Senpai, just in case.)

-What?

The good news is that we can talk even when we're all missing.

(The rosary doesn't usually hang around the neck)

"Seriously?!

It's a necklace anyway! I suddenly stopped my feet, but I started running again in a hurry.

(Tell me quickly, that's not true!

(No, I was dressed up, so I kept quiet.)

(Kh......)

Afterwards, he even ran toward the gate, shooting magic and iron balls at the eyeballs that had circled the front entrance side and the bullshit ghosts.

Somehow he reached the gate and left, but the bell still hasn't stopped the song. And a crowd of eyeballs were passing through the gate, just as we were dragging them.

"After all, they can get out of the gate!

"Now there's less you don't know!

"I'm not happy!!

Anyway, we ran into a one-storey aisle and there was a loud bang behind us.

Looking back unexpectedly, there were eyeballs that looked like they had hit a transparent wall.

Maybe you can't get out of the space in the museum?

Apparently, that's what I'm talking about.

As we pause and look back, more and more balls are hitting the wall. It was a very creepy sight.

I tried attacking from here, but it still didn't get there.

"If I could attack unilaterally, I could have attacked early and hunted all I wanted afterwards...."

"Senpai, isn't that too convenient for a boulder?

A grotesque scene with stupid eyeballs across the transparent wall provoked such anxiety.

"This isn't going to collapse where it's piled up, is it?

"Senpai, please stop saying things like flags."

At the moment Miyoshi said that, the sound of the bell was interrupted as if it had been cut off by something, and suddenly as if he had woken up from a dream, there was only a one-storey passage in front of him.

I told her that the clock's hands were the next day, and then something like a crystal appeared, perhaps a drop that knocked down the eyeball.

"This is the second time I've experienced it, but even if I look directly at it, I think it's only a phantom."

"Senpai, that..."

Before Miyoshi pointed to it, something different from the eyeball crystal, a light light light light light blue thing fell.

I came closer and picked it up, and it was a rosary I had seen.

However, in the place where there was supposed to be no crucifix, a pale light light blue gem with a teardrop shape of about 15 mm was shining.

"Aquamarine, right?

Saana

It seemed to me like she was trapped in the Mansion.
