158 a similar scene




 After passing through the hole, I saw a scene that looked like something I had seen before.

 Whereas what I had seen so far was natural or made use of, what lay in front of me was clearly man-made.
 Moreover, it wasn't that long ago that I saw something similar.

 The place in front of you is very similar to that base I saw in the desert.

Is this the right place to be this time?
"At least this is where my friends are being held, and I'm pretty sure one of the demons was here earlier.

 At Isabel's words, Allen looked over at the place.

 If the structure is similar to the desert stronghold, then it should be possible to live here.
 Water and food need only be brought in, and there are quite a few rooms.
 The captured Amazons are said to be locked up in one place, so that shouldn't be too much of a problem.

"By the way, how many demons has Isabelle seen here?
"I'm the only one who said that. The others will be the same. We've basically been doing the same thing the whole time.
Was he the only one you saw when you were building that desert base?
No, ...... there were four of them as far as I know. I don't know if they're here ...... but if they are, that's probably all they're here for.
"...... Why?
It's just that those four bodies were the ones that invaded the village. I don't deny the possibility that there may be demons that we have never seen before, but ...... why bother with such a thing?
Certainly.

 Although demons are basically cautious beings, they would not act so cautiously even with their slaves.
 In the first place, if there are four demons, it makes no difference if there are more or not.

 It makes no difference whether there are more or less demons.

By the way, although you say you are a slave of the devil, do you have some kind of contract with him? I think we're usually not supposed to be able to talk about things that are detrimental to us: ......
At least I don't remember being tied up in a knot. Well, maybe not.
How can you be sure?
Because if it were, Chloe wouldn't have gotten away with it in the first place. You've heard a lot of things from Chloe, haven't you? If there was such a thing as a contract, I wouldn't have been able to do it either.
"...... I see?

 All eyes are naturally drawn to Chloe.
 You may be concentrating on your thoughts, or you don't seem to notice, but that's certainly what's going to happen.

It's a good idea to make sure that the other people are safe, demon or not.
Yes, ......, there's no way those devils aren't doing something else.
"Are you okay with Isabelle being gone in the first place?
Hey, they're not that malleable. I said they'd be in charge, so I'm sure they're doing fine. I'll feel guilty if I don't.

 While talking about such things, they proceeded inside the base.
 You're going to be able to find out the best way to get the most out of your new job.
 It's not surprising, since there's a greater chance of encountering the devil than ever before.

 As a matter of fact, the same is true for Allen, but as long as we're walking in a group, we'll be affected by the influence from behind.
 Inevitably, our steps will be slowed down ......, but in the midst of all this, Allen tilted his head.

 I'm sure this is the base of operations, but I haven't heard a single sign or noise as usual.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on with the material in this base.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I'm sure it's possible. I didn't feel a single sign of the demon when it came to me, and I didn't even feel it when it was right in front of me, but now that I think about it, I did feel it in the desert. I've always wondered if that's what demons were all about, but ...... makes sense if this place is uniquely designed.
That means ...... maybe it's not worth being so cautious?
"No, is it the other way around?
You know. I mean, you could be right around the corner and not even know it.
...... but it's the same for them too?
Maybe there is some way to figure it out, though.

 But it probably isn't activated now.
 It's believed to be clairvoyant, or at least in the same vein.

 If it's activated, you should be able to recognize it, and if you can't recognize it, it means that you're currently unprotected.
 Well, it can't be activated all the time, so in a sense it's natural.

 But just because we know it's activated doesn't mean we can stop it.
 All we know now is that our movements are not being monitored.
 We had to hurry if we could, because the moment we triggered it, we would still be caught.

We're going to have to be careful and also hurry. ...... That's not easy to do.
"Well, it's no surprise that I'm sneaking into the enemy's base.
I've been thinking about them for a while now, but they're not very tense. ...... Well, I guess I should say they're reliable.
"Is it true that ...... is reliable?
I guess it depends on how you feel about it. And you want to keep going straight?
"Yeah. Then at the end of the street, if you turn right, there's a staircase that goes down, and when you get to the end, you can go straight down and that's where you need to be.
I've been thinking about that place for some time, but it seems to fit.

 After walking up to this point, it seems that this base is the same structure as the one in the desert.

 I guess they used this as a reference point for the other side.
 Although the length of the passage is slightly different, the number and location of rooms are almost the same.

 And Aren and the others were well aware of the place you followed Isabelle's directions to.

Well, if they have the same structure, then that's the only place where you can squeeze a few dozen people in.
"It's a place where there were hidden rooms and hidden sheds and stuff like that. ...... Do you think there's anything else here?
Even at ......, Chloe said they had a lot of stuff on there, so what's the use?
"Hidden Room ......? Oh, that's where Chloe was hiding. I wonder if there's anything here: ...... At least I didn't check it out, but I didn't have time to, and someone else might have.


Well, if something goes wrong, we won't have time to go over it again.

 Considering that we have to escape this place while escorting Amazoness and the others, we don't have time to do anything extra.
 If you can use Aren's spatial transfer, the conversation would have been quicker, but as expected of Aren, it's impossible for her to transfer while carrying dozens of people.
 It's possible if there are a dozen or so people in the room, but the moment you do, they'll know for sure.

 As long as there are no demons here, there's no problem. ...... It's not a good idea to bet on that possibility.
 I bet you still have a better chance of success by moving stealthily.
 It's just a matter of time before we confirm the safety of Amazoness and the others.

 Meanwhile, I went down the stairs and out of the corner of my eye I saw a doorway to the hall.
 I'm sure you'll be able to find the best way to get a good deal more information on the website.

 I'm sure you'll be able to see the door in front of you.

It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with your friends and family.
"I hope it's not actually nobody. ......
"Don't say that kind of sinister thing you're thinking, but don't say it. You don't want that to happen.
"Everyone here at ......?
Yeah, you're supposed to be ...... No, I am. I wish I didn't have to give you a lecture. I wish I didn't have to lecture you about it, but I don't think that's a good idea ......

 Not to mention the fact that it is a desire, despite the snide remarks.

 But what we should do here is not to say comforting words.
 You don't have to do that, you just open the door and the results will be shown.

 Then all you have to do is put your hand on the door and let it open in one fluid motion.
 Then.

 On the other side of the open door was a scene like a temple, where not a single object, let alone a single Amazoness, existed.
