　The sound of sharp fingers snapping by the giant homunculus echoes through the hole in space into the halls of the cave.

　Two thuds, like something falling over.

"Roa! Rose, too!"

　Right next to me, Loa was crouched on the ground.

　I looked behind me to see that Rose's vine, which had wrapped around Taura, had also been dropped to the ground, as if it had become stuck to the ground.

"Ruth, Master..."

　I crouched down and tried to pick up Roa, but he spoke to me intermittently.

"Are you okay, Loa? Can you ...... lift me up right now?

　Roa's body seemed as if it were pinned to the ground. He could not lift his body from the ground in the hall, not even by the space between his fingers.

　From a distance, Rose also looked as if she could not move.

　Rose, who is strong enough to tear off the armored salmon with ease, does not move at all. My scroll somehow remained afloat, and Rose's partially revealed vine stuck to the ground from it, as did Taura's, apparently in the same state.

"Get off..."

　Roa tells us bitterly.

"Of course not! More importantly, tell me what's going on with your body."

　The scroll of the transcript shows only that Loa is in good health.

"...... heavy,y."

　Roa has trouble moving his mouth.

　Still, I try my best to wrap my head around the information he has managed to give me.

　...Heavy? Is gravity being manipulated? But I'm fine and my scroll is still floating as usual. Aimed only at Loa, Rose, and Taura? How is that possible? For all intents and purposes, it was that giant homunculus. ......

　I think about it and glance at the end of the hole in the space.

　The giant homunculus is still sitting in a huge chair, leaning back in a relaxed posture.

　It seems to have noticed my gaze, and moves its index finger back and forth a little.

　It seems to be telling me to come.

　For someone who can do such a thing so easily, his finger movement seems to be just a gesture this time.

　I guess I'll just have to go.

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

　I slowly stand up and walk to the hole in space.

"No, no!"

　Roa's frantic voice.

　I glanced back to see Roa's hand reaching out toward me, still sewn to the ground.

　His arm was smeared with blood, perhaps from rubbing against the ground.

　Somehow, I could feel the giant homunculus marveling at Roa's persistence.

　I took it as a sign of grace and hurriedly took out a potion and sprinkled it on the wound on Roa's arm.

"I'm going to go now, Loa. I'm sorry, but take care of Taura. If Rose's manifestation is broken, you can leave the scroll behind.

"Rust, master! No!"

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

　I proceeded to the hole in space with some haste. I was afraid that the giant homunculus might change its mind at any moment.

　And then I stepped into the white room again.
