Layers thrown out in the air scream. Renatica threw a dagger on the layer with a knitted string of fibers, entangling the layers' arms. Maintain string tension, rely on walls where layers glow slightly, and explore the surroundings.
"(If I get slapped to the ground like this, I'll be dead for sure! I have no idea where the bottom is, but it looks like there's a scaffold floating around there... I need to catch it somewhere well)"
While the layers explored calmly, they found something glowing in the dark where it fell for a while. He throws Renatica like a pendulum and succeeds in successfully catching the rope. Then the body of the layer was thrown up with centrifugal force, and the layer succeeded in landing on a scaffold floating in the darkness as the universe edged.
Keep pulling up Lunatica and the two of them were getting nothing. The two servants also exhaled loudly when they landed.
"Alive."
"It was just dangerous. What a clown."
"But I'm glad they didn't kill me. If I fought, I'd be dead for sure."
"Maybe. And you had a sturdy string."
"The weapon Dwarf was asking me to develop. It seems to be a rope knitted with fiber that can be picked from plants in the southern Great Forest and thinned metal. They have excellent elasticity and can't cut it unless it's also magic.
Well, where am I?
The two of them look around, but the surroundings are almost dark. It is not that I see anything because the walls glow blue and white, but only to the extent that I can see the contours. Still, when my eyes got used to the dark, I found myself in a giant vertical hole. A small village is a vertical hole with a diameter sufficient to enter completely.
The scaffolding is just about the size of the stadium of the Unified Martial Arts Games. They are apparently hanging in some vertical holes or even floating in the universe. Earlier success in catching the rope was apparently the chain supporting the scaffold.
"Can you climb?"
"I don't think I can. But it should be better to keep going down there."
"But what about Titania?
"I get it. There's a scaffold a little further down that blocks the vertical hole. You must be landing there."
"? How do you know?
"I feel slight signs. I don't even know how I landed alone."
Even if Lunatica excepts her tongue, it doesn't mean she sees anything. But here we have to follow the words of the lay man.
"Then let's go downstairs. By the way, how do we get off?
Renatica's words seemed to be doing one less thing on the layer's suggestion, but the layer went down using the same method without worrying.
And when I arrived at the wide scaffold, the layers were carefully exploring the surroundings. In particular, the layers check the clearance between the scaffolding and the ground.
"Layer, aren't you going after Titania?
"No... I'm just curious."
"What?"
"Looks like it's still down there."
Renatica also checks the gaps in the words of the layer. It's partly because my eyes have gotten used to the darkness, but it does look like I still have scaffolding. Moreover, the scaffolding seems to be slightly different. It didn't look like a rock, it looked glossy like an ore.
"True. But you don't have to go now."
"Yeah, you're right... but"
"Concerned"
"I'm curious. But now it's Titania. Down here, you can go later."
"Then let's go after him. There's a bad guy ahead."
As Lunatica pointed out, a layer that feels mighty. Even though I feel more powerful than any demon king I've ever felt, I'm not so terrified with wonder. That's why the layers that were supposed to be pretty late but that went awfully, were catching up with Titania.
Titania is standing in front of a door that is too big for a giant to open. I saw it and hid the two of them first.
"(Beyond that door)"
"(If the aim is to track Titania, is that all the work?
"(yes, but if we're going to see what kind of backdrop we're going to follow, we need to step inside the room)"
"(No, there's an easier way)"
Without waiting for Renatica's reply, the layer left the rock shade. To that audacity, Renatica had missed the layers.
