“It’s not so easy to find them if the place was made so elaborately. Perhaps we have to follow a certain pattern to reach deeper areas of this space.” (Layla)
“…I wonder how the two of them got there.” (Yuki)
“Shii can’t. But Sakuya probably could.” (Lefi)
“…That might indeed be the case.” (Yuki)
Lefi’s words convinced me.
Sakuya possessed a power that even we didn’t understand. He may have been drawn to this mysterious space.
The Spirit King had told us that Sakuya would live a life of turbulence. Maybe we parents have to assume that he was capable of something like this at the very least.
“Whatever the case may be, we have to gather information on our current location first. We won’t be able to find them if we move around in the dark.” (Layla)
“I agree… what do you think, Lefi?” (Yuki)
“I have no objection. I just want to add that since we still can’t detect them properly, we need to continue exploring this place until we reach the area that Shii described as a garden.” (Lefi)We were supposed to be here for sightseeing, not exploring the wonders…
◇◇◇
[Is that your master just now?] (Mukuro)
“Yes! And, Sakuya’s dad! He’s looking for Shii and Sakuya.” (Shii)
[Are you sure you don’t want to join them soon?] (Shii)
“Yes! Currently, I’m more interested in talking to Mukuro uncle!”] (Shii)
[…I see] (Mukuro)
Shii pushed the stroller next to the monster skeleton that walked at a brisk pace.
The sound of the river…
The sun shone through the trees as Shii and the others walked, the scent of flowers wafting through the air.
The garden was much larger than Shii had expected.
It was surrounded by what looked like building walls, but it was impossible to go beyond those walls because of the altered space, and it was impossible to enter the garden without following a specific procedure.
Therefore, there was almost no chance that someone who did not know how to enter this place would come here accidentally.
Shii felt that this place was not a dungeon, but it had similar characteristics to the meadow area of their house, so she still asked to confirm.
“Could this place be a dungeon?”] (Shii)
[No, it’s not a dungeon. It’s something similar, though. The magic elements that form this space must be maintained delicately, while a dungeon is nothing more than a… Hmmm, you could say that this place is like a kin of a dungeon.] (Mukuro)
“I see! It’s a relative-san!” (Shii)
Shii understood only the kinship part.
The skeleton beast appeared to giggle for a moment, but then happily returned to explaining about the garden.
It was more of a boasting than explaining though, as if the skeleton beast was showing off his treasure.
Although its tone was solemn, the fluttering and swaying bone tail of the creature clearly expressed its emotions.
Shii, too, was happy seeing someone telling her about their treasures, so she listened to the skeleton beast’s explanation with a smile.
[I’m sorry, I’m just talking about something I’m proud of.] (Mukuro)
“No! I can feel Mukuro’s uncle’s love for this place, it’s so nice!” (Shii)
[Is, is that so, but, just from my voice?] (Mukuro)
“Everyone behaves like that when they talk about something they love!” (Shii)
The creature was a little embarrassed by Shii’s innocent, sincere attitude, and coughed one more time to cover it up.
[Finally, there’s something I want to show you.] (Mukuro)
Then, the creature took them to a shrine.
