Entering the interior of the castle, the brave man moves forward, wary of the slightly dim corridors.

　The walls are simple, but they are decorated with majestic columns and chandeliers, creating a refined atmosphere.

　So far, there is no enemy response to your search skills, but you can't be too careful. This is already the enemy's headquarters.

　As you go along, you'll find ...... Is this made of stone? You step out into a corridor where the walls are lined with armor so elaborate that it looks as if it's ready to move.
　The armor is also held in the hands of a stone sword.

Wow. ......

　It's quite spooky, frankly. It's not a bad idea to imagine that the darkness peeking out from behind that helmet's slit is watching you.

　It's very reluctant to do so, but there's no point in stopping here, so you move forward with some trepidation - and then you notice something strange.

That ......? Didn't I just turn around and look at ......?

　When I looked back, I wondered if it was my imagination, or if all the armored helmets I had just passed by seemed to be pointing in Nell's direction.

...... Well, I don't feel the demon's reaction, and it's just my imagination, just my imagination.

　With that thought to herself, Nell turned her head forward again - and before she knew it, she noticed a piece of armor standing in front of her.

'What?

　At the same time as you let out such a scream, the holy sword is drawn out with a movement that is ingrained in your body.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future.
　The top half of the body shifts and sinks into the hallway with a thud.

What's going on?

　I looked into that armor ...... but there was only a hollow space.

　There was no enemy response. Then who the hell was that ......?

　A cold creep runs down your spine.

............

　Nell hurriedly exited the corridor out of sheer spookiness.

　After a long, long walk down a long, single street, she stopped when the armor-lined corridor appeared again ahead of her.

　On either side of the previous corridor, there was a line of stone armor, and in the middle of the path, there was a piece of armor slashed from the body and split in half by the upper and lower body - in other words, the same corridor as the one she had just passed (・・・・・・・) (・・・・・・).

'Heeee--'

　As soon as you realize this, the doors facing the corridor suddenly open with a bang, one after another, and from the depths of the doors, you can hear something crawling sound and an eerie moaning sound that almost makes your hair stand on end.

''Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh ......''

"Gugie Agigia Gear Gear ......

"Gururururuuruuru ......

　Heartbeats and jumps.
　Breathing becomes shallow.

　It was so weird that Nell involuntarily took a step backward and hit something with a thud.

　Nell jerked her body into a tense position, craned her neck back fearfully, and was right behind her.


　--Right behind her, the face of a gigantic woman with a wide gaping mouth and a smirk on her face was floating in the air.


"Caaaaaaaahhhh--

　The screams of the brave echoed everywhere in the castle.


　　　* * * *


"Hahaha, it's nice to have a trap like this for a trapper.

　It makes me feel very grateful to see that you have fallen right into the trap. We put a lot of effort into remodeling it, and it was worth it.

　I'm sure the world's demon king, who uses his castle as a dungeon, must have been happy to see you successfully trapped in the trap. Now I can understand their feelings very well.
　Some demon kings are unnecessarily hawkish, but perhaps they are so happy to see you fall for their traps that they try so hard to catch you in their traps that they can't help but act that way toward those who have broken through. I'm sure that's true.

　Well, rather than a trap, this time the trick was all done by the (・・・・・・)monster in the dungeon (・・・・・・・).

　The poltergeist-like phenomena that occurred around the brave man were not psychic, of course - or rather psychic, if that's correct.

　The true identity of the person who caused these events is the demon of the dungeon I newly summoned, the Wraith. It is a demon that doesn't have a real body, with a half-transparent body.

　I summoned three wraiths and named them Ray, Louie and Lo respectively. I didn't designate them as such, but all three are girls - they're younger than Iruna, about three to four years old. I don't know why, seriously. I'm afraid Leffy is going to call me a pedophile again, so give me a break.

　Well, aside from their looks, the three girls have different specialties: Ray is good at telekinesis, Rui is good at illusionary magic, and Lo is good at mental magic.

　The first one to move the armor and the last one to slam the door was Ray. He used telekinesis to move objects without touching them.

　Second, Lo. Her specialty in mental magic was, in essence, a kind of illusion. It's hard to cast this when the opponent is calm or cool, but since the brave person was quite frightened, she could easily cast the spell.
　From here, the brave man continued to turn around the corridor in the shape of the letter "B" and eventually came back to the first armored corridor, but from his surprise, he must have looked differently due to Law's spirit magic.

　And the last slit-mouthed face and the creepy moaning sounds, Louie. They are false entities created by her illusionary magic.
　The amazing thing about the illusion magic she uses is that you can feel the mass of the illusion when you touch it. I touched it once and it was quite a magical experience. 　

　Although the brave man is supposed to have the skill of spotting, the reason I didn't notice their existence is that the three girls had no intention of doing anything about the brave man, they were simply mischievous and teasing him.
　Recently, I've learned that the search engine will not be activated if the opponent has no intention to harm you.
　I'm able to deal with that because I use both search engines and 'map' in the menu at the same time, but brave men don't have a map. If you don't realize that your opponent is a wraith, it's impossible to deal with him.

　Normally, wraiths are demonized by creatures that have intense hatred for this world, so they are full of hatred for the living and are full of harm, but our children were created from the start as such demons, so they don't have any hatred. They are just naughty children. So I guess they didn't realize that this was the work of the wraiths.

　It took a lot of DP to get them out. Originally, I was going to take out an ordinary wraith that didn't have any special abilities, but when I was looking at the list of monsters that could be made to appear, I wondered if there were people with such abilities, and then I found one, and I wanted one, so I went out to hunt with Lil and used the DP I had saved to summon it. Duh. Well, it was worth it.

　Mm-hmm, let's call this one "Haunted House Mode" for dungeon defense. Basically, it's to get rid of the enemy.
　There are many other defenses you can choose from, depending on the type of enemy. Think about "kill all enemies mode" and so on.



　Okay, this is starting to get fun. This is what tower defense games are all about.

　As I was grinning at the hero, a nearby Lephi looked up at me with his eyes.

You are ...... a pedophile and a pedophile, and your taste for cruelty is irreversible.

"Hey, stop, you sound like a true pervert when you say that.

"Onii-chan ...... feel sorry for her if you tease her so much?

　You can find a lot of people who have been looking at the images of the film, and you can also find a lot of people who have been looking at the images of the film, and you can also find a lot of people who have been looking at the images of the film, and you can find a lot of people who have been looking at the images of the film.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one who has a problem with it.

　While saying this, I pointed to the brave man in the video - he seemed to have fallen prey to the mischief of the three girls while I wasn't looking - and before I knew it, the brave man was cowering in the corner of the corridor, shuffling around as if his barometer of fear had been swept away.

Ah ......

"...... Yuki

"...... Onii-chan

Don't look at me like I'm going to stop you from going to ............. I'm going to stop you now.

　Unable to withstand their eyes, I stood up and walked out of the door between the throne room and the outside, toward the castle.

　Well, with all that demoralization, they wouldn't attack me even if I came directly at them.

　d*mn it, you're giving up too soon, brave man. I've still got a few more tricks up my sleeve with the three Wraith girls: .......
