　--Turn back time a little bit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sasha and her fiancé Mikael look cautiously to the left and right as if to confirm the situation that has shifted.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm surprised Sharp Hat didn't see through the traps. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is this ...... still inside the 'Giant Tower'?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's ......." The material is probably still inside the "Giant Tower.

　Sasha was being held by Mikael and moved, so even if she was caught in a transition trap, they would move to a place together.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In fact, Ellie had adjusted the transference so that even if the two were not hugging each other, they would be in the same place. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The transference trap sent them away, but the deputy leader of the "White Knights" and a former member of the "Gathering of Tribes" was not distraught and had time to calmly observe his surroundings.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As they pointed out, there was a straight corridor made of the same material as the "Giant Tower. It makes a gentle right turn, but as far as the eye can see, there is not a single obstacle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is wide enough for two people to stand side by side with their arms outstretched.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There were no doors or windows on the walls as far as the eye could see.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A light created by magic embedded in the ceiling shines brightly down the corridor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The light was glinting off the corridor. "It's pointless to keep stopping at ......," said the man who was standing in the corridor. Let's move on."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'll take care of the scouts.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, there may be traps, and we don't know what kind of monsters will surprise us. So I'll go in front. I'm not as good as Sharp Hat, but I can at least do a good job as a scout. Sasha-sama, please be ready to use the fantasma class borrowed from the Countess at any time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I understand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mikael's proposal is the best solution for the current situation, so Sasha does not argue any further, and as instructed, he holds the fantasy-class (fantasma class) weapon entrusted to him by the Countess ......, which looks completely "Ocarina" in one hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The other, which is free, grabs Mikael's cloak from behind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is a measure to prevent splitting up when he gets caught again in the shifting trap and flies away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mikael also has a shield borrowed from the Prime Minister,...... which is also fantasma class and has a design of a monster with the breath of a goddess and an expression of anguish on its face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It has an artistic quality that could be described as a painting rather than a shield design.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He pulls out his sword and starts to walk away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He taps the floor with his sword, checking for traps as he goes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sasha, please be careful not to step on any place other than the floor I step on.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Of course, Master Michael."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The two begin to walk down the hallway as seriously as if they were taking on a diabolical dungeon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If they reveal the ...... seeds, there is not a single trap, not a single monster, until they reach the throne room where the lights are waiting for them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They could have been transferred directly to the throne room, but they were deliberately set to fly down a long corridor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The reason was just to harass them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Immediately after being sent away by the transfer trap, the seemingly empty corridor goes on and on. It is a natural consequence of being on the lookout for traps, and going forward while being unnecessarily nervous.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They are just going through such a roundabout way to harass Sasha.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Unaware of this, the two proceed slowly with a determined look on their faces.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They take their time and carefully continue down the empty corridor until they come to a dead end.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There is only one way in and out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A huge door was waiting for them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is a huge door that even a golem over four meters long could easily pass through.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sasha let slip a few words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It looks like a boss's room waiting for us deep inside a dungeon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The boss of "The Giant Tower," is it? ...... The boss is the Red Dragon, and I hope that if we defeat him, we will be able to get out safely.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mikael lets out a slight chuckle and shrugs.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　His reaction made Sasha smile as well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After the two finish laughing, their expressions tighten.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I guess we'll just have to go inside ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Michael-sama, I am always ready to use the 'ocarina'."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If you sense any danger, please do so immediately."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After the two finished exchanging other brief responses, Mikael gently touched the door and applied force.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When he touched it, the door automatically opened.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It opens and closes so smoothly and slowly, without a sound, that one would think it was being opened and closed by a dedicated Titan.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I thought to myself, "......?　Why is that human (inferior species) here ......?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Sasha-dono?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When the door opens, the space is so bright that one wonders if he or she has emerged into sunlight, a far cry from the dimly lit corridor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The pillars, though thinner than those on the first floor of the "Giant Tower," are lined regularly, and a red carpet stretches in a straight line toward the throne.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was as large as a gymnasium.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The ceiling was high, and although there was not a single window, there was no sense of being blocked in at all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The room is too simple for a throne room, but the beauty of the two girls standing in front of the throne, a beautiful girl in a magician's costume and a blue-haired girl wearing a cat-ear hood, is enough to make up for it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The beauty of these two girls exceeds even that of the elf species.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No matter how much money they bore, how many skilled craftsmen they arranged, and how many designs they made, they could never exceed the space colored by the beauty of these two girls - they even gave such a strong impression.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If we consider them as a work of art, an existence that adorns the throne room, they radiate an elegance that would easily surpass even the treasures of the palace of the Queen Elf Kingdom.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The problem is that there is a human sitting on the throne, a race that Sasha is familiar with.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even from a distance, it is easily recognizable.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He wears a clown's mask and a black cloak, and he holds a staff in his hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is the human child whom I mistook for a "light" and called out to on the first day of my previous investigation of the "Giant Tower.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No matter how much Sasha may look down on humans (inferior species) and basically forget about them, he left a very strong impression on me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There are enough burns under that mask to make her look away immediately.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'It might be a light,' he called out, ordering her to take off the mask. In doing so, Sasha saw the burns so clearly that she screamed involuntarily.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, it was deeply etched in her memory.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sasha, are you acquainted with the man who sits on the throne?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm not so much an acquaintance as I am a ....... I just remember seeing him on the day we investigated the tower.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

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

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They are aware of us, but do not make the slightest move.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They are just sitting there, waiting for us to enter the room.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mikael and Sasha looked around, but there was no one but them in the throne room, and there was no space for the red dragon to hide.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

......It looks like we'll just have to go into the room. Let's go, Lady Sasha."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, Master Michael.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As the two enter the room, the door closes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Naturally, the two were not upset because they had expected it and moved forward.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As they approach a certain distance, they are approached by a boy sitting on a throne.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's been a long time, Sasha.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

?"　It's true that we haven't seen each other like this since the day of the "Giant Tower" survey, but I don't think we're the kind of people who can talk to each other so casually. Rather, a human (an inferior species) should not talk to me so casually. It's disgusting!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sasha exhales in one breath.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The two beautiful girls standing in front of the throne make an "annoyed" expression on their faces, but their faces are so well-developed that even their irritated expressions are beautiful and lovely.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because he was standing in front of Sasha, Mikael's expression was not stolen by his fiancée. Therefore, his fiancee, Sasha, could not see him admiring the two girls.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The masked boy laughs - a laugh that sends a chill down Sasha's spine.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Ha ha ha, that's terrible. We used to party together and even dive dungeons together on good terms."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Huh?　You must be mistaking me for another elf species. Why should I dive in a dungeon on good terms with a human (inferior species) ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At first, Sasha is annoyed by what she considers to be horseshit and raises her voice, but then she realizes in the middle of spitting out her line.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is true that she had dived in a dungeon with a human at one point in her life. Realizing this fact, the latter half of his words gradually faded away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I have already identified the face of the boy sitting in front of me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is not him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, the paper that said "Wait at the Giant Tower" had put Sasha himself in mortal danger several times, and he had managed to reach the inner part of the "Giant Tower" as instructed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If the paper is correct, there can only be one human being there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The human sitting on the throne puts his hand on the mask.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sasha could never take her eyes off it, even though she had seen with her own eyes that there was a terrible burn under it, an ugly thing that she hated the most.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At this moment, he even forgets his fiancée at his side, Mikael, who is his glorious future itself, and devours it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The boy takes off his mask completely.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sasha unconsciously utters an ugly sound.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"AHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'I'll say it again. It's been a long time, Sasha."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The lights laugh.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He laughs ferociously.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He laughs with the joy of a ferocious beast just before it leaps at you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm here to avenge what happened three years ago, Sasha .......
