“The next morning.”

I took the tense Luka by the hand and invited her out for a walk.

“Follow me, Luca”

“Ex. Don’t leave me.”

Luka, frightened by the crowd, follows behind her back.

“It’s okay. I’ll go to a quiet place soon.”

“Yeah”

“There are several towers in this city that are remnants of when it was a defensive base.”

“I visited one of them, which is hardly used now.” The heavy door is left open and unmanaged, so it’s easy to break in.

After descending the hidden stairs, I could see the underground passageway.

“Are you going here?”

“Stop? There’s no particular danger.”

This underground passageway seems to be a relic of the ancient magic kingdom, and even though it’s underground, it’s vaguely bright.

“I’m going, but it’s going to get dirty.”

“Eh, that’s why I said clothes that would be easy to move in.”

Luka, who was still wearing fluttering clothes, answered with a slightly unfaithful look.

“Women have their own battles. They want to look beautiful all the time.”

“Is Luca beautiful?”

He turned bright red and hid his face with Kumakichi.

“Idiot, please guide me quickly.”

“yes yes”

“Oh my god buddy”

“Are you feeling better now?” I feel a little distant from Luka though.

“Take the complicated road to the right and to the left.”

Most of the destinations are strictly locked, making it a dead end maze.

“Buddy, are you still there?”

“A little more. Kumakichi”

“I will guide you through the dim passage.”

“It’s certainly cramped and dirty, but…

there were.

Through the underground passage, a circular space where light shines from the sky. There is a warm sunshine. I jumped for joy when I found this.

“Wow”

“Luka took a deep breath.”

In the depths of the underground passage, there is a date spot that no one knows about.

The space was dominated by a mysterious atmosphere, as if time had stopped, and the accumulated dust glittered like snow.

There are a lot of sleeping cats on the pile of junk piled up like a spiral staircase, and they are sleeping in the sun. When Luca tried to pet it, the sleeping cat disappeared into the void.

“They are creatures called fantasy species.”

An existence close to a spirit.

“Nyaago”

“It’s not like there’s anything there, but

“Ex, bring me here again”

“Okay Luka”

“I wanted to share this place with Luca.”

I stared blankly for a while, but eventually Luka asked me if he got tired of it.

“Is there anything else?”

“Then why don’t you go to the top of the tower?”

Return the way you came, climb the stairs of the first tower, and aim for the roof.

We magicians are generally powerless, so when we reached the top, we were breathing on our shoulders. But I can walk.

“We’ve arrived~. No matter how tired you are, you can still keep walking.”

“Were you praised?”

The warm sunlight feels good.

A cold breeze blew, and Luka hugged Kumakichi. I wonder if I should have invited the rabbit too.

“Hmmm, what a great view. Big forest.”

“Luka’s house is over there.”
