Chapter 28: 27

Perhaps because of the rumor, there was no sign of much presence in the hallway on the third floor of the Tartar Hall.

 

The reason for looking gloomy is probably because the lighting is bad. After all, it’s at the end of the hallway.

 

Wouldn’t there be a reason for the cool air?

 

However, even if there is a reason, there will be no one who wants to step into a space where disturbing rumors are circulating.

 

Whether it is the office on the third floor or if you need to look at something separately—.

 

Without such circumstances, they won’t approach it easily.

 

Thanks to this, it was good that I didn’t have to pay attention to others even if I put my ears on the mirror located at the end of the hallway on the third floor.

 

“Hmm…”

 

I leaned close to the mirror and listened.

 

I focused all my attention on the fine sound— but there was no particular sound.

 

After that, I waited for more than five minutes, but I couldn’t hear any wind, let alone scream.

 

The corridor was enveloped in a great silence.

 

I slowly took my ears off in a strange silence that was as persistent as tar.

 

“I can’t help it. It was originally random.”

 

It’s not like I can hear screams 24 hours a day.

 

If you’re lucky, you can hear it.

 

No, should I say bad luck? 

 

Anyway, I can’t listen to it today.

 

I wanted to hear it myself, but it’s unfortunate.

 

Let’s go back and rest.

 

Because I’m a little tired of learning tea ceremony.

 

“I was wondering who it was and it was Theo Agrit.”

 

I was surprised by the sound of someone calling me from behind my back suddenly. 

 

I couldn’t help but be surprised when someone popped out of the gloomy hallway.

 

I slowly turned my head around, and Jacomo, with his hands behind his back, looked at me and smiled suspiciously.

 

“…What is it?”

 

“That sharp expression, it’s not bad, but there’s nothing to be too serious about, isn’t it?” 

 

When I look back, I suddenly see a suspicious old man. So are you laughing? 

 

—I couldn’t say it, so I just decided to keep a straight face.

 

“I came here because I see you passing by.”

 

“I’m going somewhere else today, so I’m passing by here.”

 

“Hoho, there’s something like that. More than that, I guess you were concerned about the rumors I told you?”

 

“It’s not like that.”

 

The screams of the Tartar Pavilion are Easter eggs that I’ve always been interested in.

 

For a while, I invested days and days trying to uncover the secrets of this Easter egg, and I also wrote all sorts of hypotheses and speculations into documents and verified them one by one.

 

Even then, the fact that the secret couldn’t be revealed has long been stuck in my heart like a thorn.

 

Even if Jacomo didn’t tell me, I would have come to check one day.

 

“I just stopped by while doing club activities.”

 

“I’ll take it that way.”

 

When I replied moderately, Jacomo laughed.

 

It’s not easy to even smile.

 

Jacomo may actually have a suspicious-looking talent.

 

“If it’s your club… Was it tea ceremony?”

 

“How did you know?”

 

“There are ways. I like tea, too. Shall we drink together next time?”

 

“Drink…” 

 

No matter who hears it, he’s not inviting me to drink tea, but he’s saying let’s have a drink. 

 

Jacomo, you’re a rogue priest who prefers whiskey to tea.

 

“I don’t like tea very much.”

 

“Isn’t the tea ceremony club just a mandatory membership?” 

 

“It’s something like that.”

 

“It’s unfortunate, but it’s okay. Then we can have a drink together.” 

 

“I ask again, is it okay for priests to drink alcohol?”

 

“To answer again, as long as you don’t get caught, there’s no problem.”

 

Good, I will report it. 

 

Next time you drink in front of me, I’ll report it to the Astra Church right away.

 

“Do you know that the screams you hear in the mirror can’t be heard during the day?”

 

“Yes?”

 

Suddenly, what Jacomo said made my head spin. 

 

When I played games, I came to the mirror during the day— and I don’t think there was.

 

I have vague memories of hearing screams most of the time at night.

 

However, that’s not the problem.

 

I asked with a frown. 

 

“…Why are you telling me that now?”

 

“Because you didn’t ask?”

 

This punk—.

 

He’s so shameless that I want to hit him once. 

 

Patience, patience—.

 

It’s obvious that he’s teasing me on purpose.

 

If I get angry, I will lose.

 

Whoo…

 

I was going to go back and rest anyway.

 

As I tried to pass by Jacomo easily, Jacomo asked insinuatingly.

 

“Are you going back?”

 

“You said I can only hear at night anyway. There is no longer a need to stay.” 

 

“Then, shall I come over for the night too?”

 

No, why are you coming?

 

As soon as I tried to answer like that, someone crossed their arms behind Jacomo.

 

“Where are you going at night? There’s a prayer service tonight. Priest Jacomo.”

 

Jacomo turned around with a light laugh and voice. 

 

Thanks to it, I could see a female student behind Jacomo at a glance.

 

The wavy, platinum blonde hair covered the embroidered robe of a gold star.

 

Her large blue eyes and small body made her look quite young.

 

In particular, holding a staff as huge as her height and pointing the staff at Jacomo.

 

“Are you going to run away again today?”

 

“What do you mean running away, I’m just leaving for a while to get enlightened. Sister Emilia.”

 

Emilia, Emilia Fafner.

 

A follower of the Astra Church like Jacomo and an excellent healer.

 

She is a good healer in the Broken World, so Leon invites her to several parties.

 

Aside from that, Emilia played a huge role. 

 

That moment is now unfolding in front of my eyes.

“Don’t talk like penance. Last time, the priest who was supposed to host the prayer meeting secretly escaped, so I had a hard time dealing with it!”

“Didn’t you get over safely? I trusted the competent Sister Emilia. Faith is the noblest virtue a human being can have.”

 

“Don’t try to move on to sound plausible. Because you have to organize a prayer meeting today!” 

 

“It’s difficult, I have a prior promise as important as a prayer meeting—” 

 

“What could be more important than a prayer meeting? Those who have faith must not do wrong things without knowing it. It is even more so to break promises with others and cause cracks in their trust.”

 

“You are already familiar with the teachings of Saint Astra, so tears are all over your eyes.”

 

 “Don’t think about running away while pretending to cry. I’ll keep an eye on you until the prayer meeting.”

 

Look, the suspicious Jacomo couldn’t budge.

 

Emilia Fafner, she’s Jacomo’s suppressor. 

 

Anyway, with this, Jacomo was suppressed. 

 

The timing is amazing.

 

Passing by Jacomo, I bowed my head to Emilia.

 

Emilia also nodded her head to accept the greeting and took Jacomo away.

 

I hope she continues to do her best to suppress Giacomo.

 

While praying, I went back to the dormitory.

The sun went down before I knew it.

 

The third floor of the Tartar Pavilion at night was darker than during the day. 

 

There is no light coming in from outside the window, and there is no special light in the hallway, so of course.

 

Moreover, because of the quietness, the sound of footsteps echoes louder than during the day. 

 

Tak, tak…

 

I listened to the footsteps and stood in front of the mirror at the end of the corridor on the third floor.

 

This time, I’ll find out the truth of the rumor.

 

There weren’t many Easter eggs in Broken World.

 

I’ve invested hundreds of hours and visited all kinds of places, but— I can count on one hand what I have actually discovered.

 

So wouldn’t there be a way to find Easter eggs in this world that’s different from games?

 

I can’t help but expect small things.

 

Anyway, I put my ear in the mirror.

 

The first thing I heard was the sound of my heart. 

 

Only when my ears got used to the heartbeat did I hear a faint sound through the mirror.

 

It was an indescribable scream.

 

It was similar to what I heard in the game but more vivid.

 

The scream was hardly a clue.

 

I can’t even measure the tone, let alone characteristics such as gender or age.

 

It sounded strangely wild enough to be a human cry, but I think it was more like a human than a beast. 

 

It is a scream that is hard to tell about age, gender, or even whether or not it is human. 

 

Beyond the mirror is definitely a wall.

 

Therefore, screams can’t come from beyond the wall.

 

As I listened, the scream itself was coming up the wall.

 

“There must be an entrance somewhere.”

 

It’s downstairs from here.

 

Is it the second floor, the first floor, or the first basement floor?

 

There is no particular place to guess.

 

During the game, I also went all over the map of The Tartar Pavilion.

 

I would have already figured it out if there were a place to guess.

 

“Did they hide it with magic?”

 

There are several ways to create a hidden door.

 

I might have gotten caught up in one of them and passed on myself at the time without realizing it.

 

Or it only exists as a setting and is not actually implemented.

 

But things are different now.

 

Because in this world, elements that were not implemented and existed only as settings exist.

 

So, if the hidden door really exists, I can somehow find it. 

 

Should I look for it?

 

If that scream wasn’t just an Easter egg but someone’s voice, and I missed it like this, it would be a bad sign.

“How did it happened….” 

 

I didn’t leave the Tartar Pavilion until dawn when the darkness had deepened. 

 

I thoroughly investigated all of the Tartar, but I couldn’t find any hidden doors or secret devices. 

 

There wasn’t even a secret wall hidden by magic that would disappear with a single hit. 

 

How did I know—Well, I didn’t want to know either.

 

Was the rumor about the Tartar Building just a meaningless Easter egg? 

 

I don’t know how to solve it, so that’s the only thing I can think of, but—.

 

“It’s strange to even think of it that way.”

 

The Altar of Anirza, which was prepared in the cocktail bar of the Corbus Family, didn’t exist in the Broken World, but it did exist in this world. 

 

It is highly likely that it was a setting that wouldn’t have been recorded anywhere. 

 

In the game, due to quantity, time, budget, and so-called adults’ circumstances, even directing or mentioning has disappeared— in this world, there is no need to look at the circumstances, so it must have been implemented.

 

So far this is purely my guess.

 

Furthermore, different events from the original are happening one after the other, so it doesn’t seem like unfounded speculation. 

 

So, what about Easter eggs?

 

Even if it was just a way to surprise the player in the original Broken World, does it need to be exactly the same in this world? 

 

“It’s ambiguous.”

 

It’s hard to give an answer.

 

Based on my intuitions, there is a very high chance that it is related to some kind of incident 

 

But I can’t stay stuck on a problem for which I don’t see a solution for too long. 

 

For the time being, I’ll be busy with other events even if I don’t like them.

 

“I’ll have to think about that later….”

 

It’s already late today.

 

Let’s go quickly, fill Choco’s meal and take a rest. 

 

As I approached the dormitory with that thought in mind, for some reason, Choco was there to meet me in front of the entrance.

 

“Did you come to meet me?”

 

I got down on my knees in front of Choco and asked. 

 

Choco then took out its bowl from behind its back and tapped it with its front paw. 

 

“…Did you finish eating?”

 

I must have filled it up to some extent before it came out.

 

No, did you come out to urge me to fill your food now?

 

“Come here.”

 

When I tapped my knee, Choco came up. 

 

I lifted Choco and opened the front door of my dorm.

 

“Do you want to eat a special meal instead of feed? It’s night after all, so let’s have a late-night snack.”

 

It is possible to cook simple dishes in the dormitory.

 

So, when I asked if we should make a late-night snack together, Choco nodded vigorously.

 

Then Choco buried its head into my shoulder and licked the scruff of my neck.

 

Anyway, you know that you’re cute. 

 

It was good, so we went back to the dorm and had a snack late at night.
