Chapter 74: Mercumenes’ Plot.

Mercumenes did not sleep a wink.

After dinner, she was followed by a woman with glasses, who bathed her and then went to bed. There, too, she was used as a cuddle pillow by Tiarietta.

Now she had to recover her magic powers, which had been reduced to an extremely low level, but it wasn’t something that could be recovered by sleeping. I’ve poured too much magic power into the control unit of the ruins, and my own “core” has been damaged.

In order to recover my magic, I’ll need to uproot other people’s magic.

I wasn’t sure how much effect it would do on a vulnerable person. But if I ate a single gaping Tiarietta, I might be able to get enough power to escape from here.

However, I still haven’t been able to put it into action.

After all, that man – Haruto Zenphis was under the same roof. If she were to harm his companion Tiarietta, she would be in immediate danger.

And I’ve also been wondering when he’ll realize who we are and attack us.

(But finally, finally.)

Finally, he’s gone. From the way he talked, it seems that he went to the ruins of Olympus.

There was no sign of the girl who seemed to be from the dragon tribe.

Now it’s just the two of us, with Tiarietta, who was defenselessly turning her back to her.

Mercumenes sat on the sofa and chuckled.

A perfect opportunity has come around, that’s what I thought–.

”Well, well, well, let’s do our best for the rest of the day.”

“We’re the ones doing the hard work,”

The figure of that man was projected in front of Tiarietta’s eyes.

(Communication magic…?　Doesn’t seem to be a very large-scale magic formula.)

Even though it hadn’t been more than a few minutes since Haruto had left, the walls of the ruin’s dungeon were reflected behind him. Had they arrived already? You can even use Teleportation magic!

Come to think of it, I was heading to my room after finishing my breakfast to leave. It’s safe to assume that the base point of the transposition was there.

If that’s the case, if anything happens to Tiarietta, he could come back right away.

It’s still impossible to attack her in this case.

(But you can’t maintain the communication magic forever. As soon as I interrupted it…)

But no matter how much I waited, Haruto’s figure never disappeared from Tiarietta’s presence.

Unimportant conversations like small talk and what’s for lunch followed.

(That communication magic, simplified to the extreme. Even so, it must still require a lot of magic power. Why? Was that man really….a God….?)

I couldn’t imagine why he was just playing as a student at all.

(At least, if I knew the purpose…)

There might be something that could be done about it.

She continued to pour her magical power into the control unit until the very end. In order to protect herself, she distributed many demons with great power in the deepest part of the room.

To be frank, since Haruto was gone, she tried to escape on her own, but she ran out of power on the way.

However, the demons were still prowling around in the deepest part of the building.

If she can lead them there, Haruto should have no choice but to fight the demons.

If you concentrate on the battle, your attention would be diverted from Tiarietta. If I didn’t miss that opportunity–.

(If they continue to head downward, they would inevitably reach the deepest part.)

So, it’s best to keep quiet.

“Ku, fufufu…”

I couldn’t help but smile.

“N?”

Her expression tightened in a hurry as Tiarietta turned to me. She nodded her head and turned to the screen where Haruto was reflecting.

I patted my chest in relief, but

(No, wait. Come to think of it, they’ve been hiding in those ruins looking for something.)

I don’t know what exactly they were. But I’ve come to the conclusion from observing them.

If the thing we’re looking for wasn’t in the deepest part, the battle with the demons won’t happen.

”Gu, nununu……..”

She bit her back teeth without a second thought.

“Hmm?　Meru, what’s wrong with you?”

Tiarietta noticed her again. She quickly turned depressed and falls silent.

They seemed to be suspicious, but they didn’t speak to me further.

While relaxing her shoulders, Mercumenes carefully peeked at their situation in order to think about a breakthrough. Then–.

“It’s peaceful. There are no demons appearing at all.”

“He’s not here.”

“E?”

“I was looking into it again last night. When I went down about fifty stories, there was no sign of the devil. I don’t think there’s anything down there.”

“Really? So why don’t you go downstairs as soon as possible?”

“Professor Tia, don’t mistake this for something more important.”

“What’s your play? Oh, that’s right. All I had to do was collect the holy armor. But isn’t that what’s in the deepest part of the room?”

The Holy Armor was probably the ‘Supreme Seven Holy Armor’ that was scattered around the world.

Two of the seven holy weapons were not even specified in shape. One of them was believed to be unknown at the site of Olympus.

(This was an opportunity!)

If they say that the thing, they were aiming for was in the deepest part, they must be heading there.

”Holy, armor…. could it be…….”

She let out a fragile, faint voice.

I’ve been pretending to be a maid for so long. I’ll at least act like a young, feeble girl!

“Haha! What was that, so funny.”

Listen to me!

Before I knew it, they started to pass the time with silly small talk.

”Ah, um…Holy Armor, could it be….”

This time I tried to put a little more effort into my voice.

“That’s what you’re missing, Haruto, isn’t it?”

“Brother has a big heart that prefers not to be trifled with.”

You were completely unaware of it!

I was going to yell at him, but if he was strangely energetic, the rest of the story would be unnatural.

She should get the timing right.

They hadn’t even reached the thirty levels yet.

Although I quietly took a deep breath, thinking that it’s not time to panic yet.

(But he said earlier, ‘There were no demons even fifty floors below.’ How was it possible to see that far ahead…?)

Immediately after a rough feeling of dread ran down my back.

”Hmm? What’s going on with all these demons?”

“Where is it?”

“It’s about sixty levels. I’ve looked everywhere, but there were no stairs leading down from here.”

You can even use Clairvoyance magic…

”It looks troublesome. Well, there’s a strange room, but it didn’t have the goods I’m looking for there. I don’t need to go to the trouble to enter that place.”

Mercumenes collapsed with a flop on the sofa —
