Leaving aside Ichi and
the others developing new character traits.
Although their usual
agile movements might make one overlook it, my illusion skill doesn't just hide
their figures. It also blocks their presence. In other words, my illusion
should also be nullifying Veda's detection, right?
Since Ichi and Nii
were by my side, Veda didn't notice them. But San had been staying behind, and
the illusion skill would have been off. He might be constantly searching from
the Magic Tower. ...I considered this hypothesis, but the unease wouldn't go
away. The other party was the all-powerful, super-capable, cheat-character
glasses guy, after all. There was no telling what he might do.
"The Mirror of
Foresight isn't absolutely necessary."
When asked if it was
worth risking danger to obtain it, it was a rather delicate matter. I wasn't
currently opposing Yuko, the Saint, as Eldorado, the villain character in the
game, but weighing the risk of continuing to vaguely ponder the existence of
someone whose very existence I wasn't sure of against just running away, my
heart leaned slightly towards escape.
The sky above was
completely dark, and the dome-shaped water membrane covering the entire city
was harder to see than during the day. However, the lights of the lanterns
hanging down at regular intervals overlapped, looking like tiny swaying
fireflies, and they were occasionally reflected in the water membrane. It was a
beautiful, mysterious night. Perhaps influenced by the faintly lit city, the
city still showed no signs of sleeping and was full of energy. Although the
heat was suppressed by the magic tools, the shaded night might be more
comfortable than the overly bright sunlight.
After looking up at the
dome, I turned my gaze to the equally towering Magic Tower. Without me saying
anything, Lotus seemed to understand to some extent, and while holding San, he
nodded as if saying, "I guess we have no choice." Let's go to the
next city. Eldorado would live her life without getting involved in this world.
I was a little concerned about Socius, but he was someone I should probably
keep my distance from. In the current situation where I didn't even know how to
get into the tower, there was no need to jump into danger.
--That place seemed
kind of interesting.
It was at that moment.
San extended one hand (or what looked like one) from Lotus's side and declared
that. It was a very problematic statement.
***
Probably at that
moment, my eyeballs had become perfectly round, and Ichi and Nii were trembling
and swinging their hands (or what looked like them) all over my face, saying,
"El, that's terrible, your eyes might have fallen out!?" "Shall
we retrieve them!?" But while shaking my head and saying, "No, they
haven't fallen out," I asked, "Wait a minute, San!? What do you mean
by 'it was an interesting place'? Why? How come? When?" As always, the
fluffy red core inside San's body was swaying and trembling. By the way, I was
keeping his appearance invisible to everyone except Lotus and me.
San spoke. While
trembling, he gently closed his eyes (in the way he could, since he didn't
originally have them) as if recalling the past, and told Lotus and me.
--That was when I was
taken away by the handsome glasses guy, and I was trembling by his side...
The way he put it.
Well, actually, San
wasn't uttering words. I was just picking up on something that was probably
close to that, so there was a possibility that my brain was just making random
conversions, but I continued listening to his story regardless.
In summary, even the
usually composed San was taken away by Veda and was in utter confusion,
thinking, "Oh no, oh no!" However, he noticed that the glasses guy's
legs were faster than he had imagined, and he was flustered, wondering what was
going on. But gradually, he felt that this was a valuable experience in its own
way, and with a magnanimous feeling, he was carried along like a drifting
peach, wondering where he would end up and wanting to check his final destination.
Too much composure! And then, he was surprised. The moment Veda stepped into a
certain place while holding San, in the blink of an eye, the surrounding
scenery completely changed.
When I heard that, I
couldn't help but mutter.
"Eh... San, did
you even blink in the first place...?"
"El, that's not
the main point of the story."
It was so shocking
that I was confused.
San continued. He
looked around, wondering where he was, and since it was clearly an unfamiliar
room, he thought, "Okay, I don't like this anymore," and started
trembling again. He shook violently from side to side, and the restraint of the
cultured and weak glasses guy (Veda) meant nothing, so he jumped out, escaped,
and searched for my presence. Then he returned to the inn. Looking back, he
realized that the place he had come out of was that big tower. That was the end
of his recollection.
"You were in the
tower... without realizing it...?"
San seemed to have
been surprisingly cheerful at the end of his abduction, and he didn't know where
he had disappeared to, but I realized something when I heard his words. It was
gamer knowledge from the Tale of the Land of the Five-Leaf. "I see!"
I snapped my fingers. Lotus tilted his head.
"A shortcut
function!"
