　When I bring the key's magic stone close to the wall in front of me, a magic circle appears on the wall.

"Oh!" You drew the right answer in one shot."

　Everyone holding on to my shoulders and arms exclaims in admiration.

　The magic circle begins to spin on the wall, just like the ones on the walls of the mausoleum. It collapses, and the light of the magical element appears on the surface of the wall as letters.

　At the time of the mausoleum, I had not been able to look at the letters carefully due to the shock of Lily's marriage proposal.

　The letters that appear this time also read <>.

　However, there is a slight discomfort.

"Ah, the <> is missing..."

　I quickly look over the legible parts of the text. Then I realize what the discomfort is.

　However, I still could not figure out what the <> was. Still, I try to warn everyone that something is likely to have changed.

　But faster than I can open my mouth, a light of magical elements starts pouring out from the wall.

　It spreads through my body to everyone. It envelops all of us.

　The next moment, the world changes.

　The walls of the underground ruins that surrounded us have completely disappeared.

"What? We've shifted? Outside?"

　Ary's murmur as he held onto my shoulder. The sun, which we had not felt before, shines down on us, and a breeze blows through the air.

　Behind me, Roa and Halhammer are also there. They seem to have taken hold of my arms and have moved with me.

　But the shoulder opposite to Ary's grip is strangely light.

"Sailuke, he's not here."

　Roa looked at my open shoulder and muttered something to me.

"Is Sailuke the only one left behind? Or are you somewhere else?"

　I look around hastily as I mutter.

　The area is wide open, and I can see countless buildings a short distance away.

　They have a strange texture that is neither stone nor metal.

　All of them are quite large.

　The footing of the buildings is also strange. They are soft and slightly elastic.

　All of them are completely different from the small rooms that we were transferred to at the time of the mausoleum, and we are confused.

　Above all, I do not know where the wall to return to is.

"It's kind of a strange place, isn't it? So far there doesn't seem to be any signs of conflict."

　Ary tells me, looking around as well.

"Thank you, Ary. I think we should first look for a wall that reacts to the key's magic crystal stone for our return, don't you?

　I ask everyone.

"That's a good idea. We don't know anything about Sailuke now. My hunch is that Sailuke is most likely the only one left behind in the underground ruins. Either way, we can't be sure. As Rust said, we have no choice but to move.

　Ary and Roa nodded their heads.

　Having decided on a course of action, we headed for the nearest building we could see.
