Hah
As I set foot in a new world, I held my breath for a moment. Having done this three times by then, I had grown accustomed to the physical discomfort. Tias expression, as she peered at my face, was more one of confirmation than concern.
Youre alright, arent you?
Yeah, Im fine. My bodys okay, but dont let your guard down here, got it?
Of course! But still
Tia averted her gaze from me and looked around curiously. The stone corridor, about three meters wide and tall, seemed clearly artificial, but that wasnt the case. In this world, this was the natural terrain.
It really is an underground ruin no, a labyrinth? Is the whole world like this?
At least as far as I know, I replied.
A complex, intertwining stone labyrinth. That was all there was to this 69th world. In other words, the entire world was an underground dungeon. (T/N: Nice)
Theres no light source, but its not dark yet the stones arent glowing either? I wonder how it works?
Who knows. I dont understand the details, but its kind of like the water in Gintas world, you know?
Ah, I see.
Tia nodded in understanding at my explanation. Holding up my hand, a shadow always fell on the wall side, so I thought it might be like the air itself was glowing, similar to the water in that world well, I wasnt sure if that was really the case.
Anyway, we should start moving. Like I said earlier, dont let your guard down, okay?
I know. Im not sleepy enough to be careless in a place like this.
Thats good to hear.
I smiled in response to Tia, who was wiggling her ears excitedly, and we began walking deeper into the stone corridor. Soon, we sensed movement and presence from around the corner.
Somethings there.
Yeah. There shouldnt be any enemies strong enough to give us trouble, but Ill take the lead. Tia, follow me while watching our backs.
Understood.
We held our breath and concealed our presence as we continued down the corridor. Peeking around the corner, we saw two humanoid figures made entirely of rough stonewhat you might call stone golemsrepeatedly clapping their hands together.
[Hey Ed, what do you think theyre doing?] Tia asked through our secret [Missing Talk] ability, her hand on my shoulder.
[Hmm greeting each other? Or maybe conversing?] I replied, furrowing my brow slightly.
Obviously, stones couldnt speak. But if words were air vibrations, it was possible they could communicate by directly transmitting shocks and vibrations to each other by hitting their bodies together.
[Eh? Are they that smart?]
[Its just a guess. Well, it doesnt matter once we defeat them.]
[Thats true.]
After confirming that Tia had removed her hand from my shoulder, I stepped into the corridor. The mini-golems reacted to my appearance with rumbling movements, but
Too slow!
I unsheathed [Dawnbreaker] from my waist and slashed in one motion. The first golem was cut in half, crumbling into a writhing pile of stones. As I cut through, the remaining golem aimed for my back, but
I wont let you!
Tias [Silver Spirit Sword], imbued with wind blades, began to chip away at the golems stone body. The golem had shown fairly good reaction speed by immediately counterattacking, but with its posture committed to a punch, it could do nothing against the attack from behind. It too was split in half and tumbled to the floor.
There, its over wait, its still moving!? What should we do?
Um, lets see what was it again?
You need to pour extraction water on them, a voice suddenly called from behind us.
As I tried to recall the countermeasure, a voice suddenly called out from behind. When we turned our faces towards the direction of the voice, there stood a woman about 130 centimeters tall, with sky-blue hair and ocean-blue eyes. She was wearing a large backpack bigger than her body and had bags bulging at her sides, attached to her waist.
Alright, step aside, please!
The woman slipped past us, took out a deep blue bottle from the brown bag at her waist, and sprinkled its contents on the writhing golem fragments on the floor. Immediately, a steam-like substance rose, and the golem fragments stopped moving.
There, that should do it! Are either of you injured?
No, thank you, I replied.
You saved us. Um Tia began.
Oh, how rude of me! Im Anemo Alice, a junior explorer from the town of Niihana. Its nice to meet you!
Anemo bowed her head slightly. The backpack on her back looked like it might crush her, but her body didnt waver.
Thats very polite of you. Im Ed. And this is
Im Lunaritia. Just call me Tia.
Ed-san and Tia-san, I see. What are you two doing in a place like this? Are you explorers too? But you dont seem to have any extraction water or equipment
Ah, well, to be honest, were not really sure about all that, I said with a wry smile.
Anemo looked at us with a mix of curiosity and suspicion. We had prepared for this situation, knowing wed come to this world.
What do you mean, youre not sure?
Its just as I said. We kind of just found ourselves here To be honest, not only are our memories hazy, but even common sense things like extraction water didnt immediately come to mind. I feel like I sensed some big tremor, but
A big tremor Could it be that a town collapsed!? But theres been no such information Perhaps you were pushed out from somewhere very far away?
Pushed out? Tia asked.
Anemo looked at Tia with a puzzled expression, but realizing she wasnt joking or acting, her face turned sympathetic as she began to explain.
Well you know how dungeons regenerate themselves, right? So when theres a large-scale collapse or regeneration, you can get caught up in it and be carried very far away, and then be sort of spit out from a wall.
Of course, usually its just items, and if a person got caught up in something like that, theyd be crushed to death. But there have been a few cases in history where, by some miracle of miracles, people have been pushed out or was it just recognizable corpses?
Eh? Hey, Ed?
I know we seem suspicious, but like I said, we dont have any answers. There wasnt anything like identification in the bags we have, I said, patting the bag at my waist.
Anemo scrutinized our bodies carefully.
Indeed, its unthinkable to be in the corridors with just that much equipment. So you must have lost all your belongings in some incident? I understand. For now, would you mind coming with me to town? We can check your identities there.
Sure, thats fine. Right, Tia?
Yes. We dont know anything, so if you can teach us, wed be grateful.
Hmm. Then I suppose youre not criminals?
Hm? Did you say something?
No, nothing! Please follow me!
Anemo hurriedly brushed off my question and started walking down the corridor. Of course, I had heard her mumble, but there was no need to fuel her suspicions, so I let it slide.
Well then, shall we go?
Yes. I wonder what the town will be like?
And so, we set off to ollow our guide, the hero Anemo, to the nearest town of Niihana.
