　We have defeated the bipedal bull, but our search is not over.

　The reason we were in this dungeon was to find Ryoma's father, the hero Sakamoto Ryoma.

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

　We had not yet accomplished our goal.

　We had not yet accomplished our goal. Only then will we have accomplished our mission.

　But then Jeanne asked the question that we had all been asking ourselves.

"Hey, if Ryoma's father was here, he would have been eaten by that monster earlier. ......

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

　Ryoma raises his eyebrows when he hears these words. In a whisper, he retorts.

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

"Don't worry, my father is a smart man. He should be doing something deep in the dungeon, avoiding that thing.

"Is that so?　What is Sakamoto Ryoma doing?

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

He must be looking for some hidden treasure deep in this dungeon.

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

　He is supposed to be looking for an ancient mirror that will reunite him with the dead.

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

　We thought that finding the ancient mirror would be a shortcut to meeting Sakamoto Ryoma.

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

　If there is no ancient mirror, then Ryoma is no longer in this dungeon, and if he is still there, then we should wait for him and he will come to us.

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

　This is the best way, but the problem is how to find the mirror.

"It would be very convenient to have a ninja like Hanzo or Fuuma Kotaro-sama around at a time like this..."

　Eve let out a sigh, but no matter how much she let out a sigh, no ninja would spring up.

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

　She felt like blaming herself for her lack of foresight in ordering them to stay, but it was no use.

　When I mentioned this to Eve, <> countered, "That's not true.

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

　By the way, she is not Eve. She was a beautiful woman in a similar maid's uniform, but she was not Eve.

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

　She was not a maid, although she was dressed in a maid's uniform.

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

　Probably not a woman either.

　He was Kazama Kotaro, a ninja who ran amok in Sagami Province during the Warring States Period in Japan.

　He suddenly appeared with a smile on his face that seemed to fit the onomatopoeia of a grin, and said, "I am a shadow.

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

I am a shadow. I am like a shadow that always follows the Lord. I appear when he needs me and disappear when he does not. That is what it means to be a ninja.

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

　Hearing these words, Eve praised them, saying, "It's wonderful.

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

　It seems that the way of the ninja and the way of the maid have something in common.

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

　One might think that this is why Kotaro Fuuma wears a maid's uniform, but it is not clear whether this is true or not.

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

　However, one thing we do know is that the ancient mirror is as good as found since Kotaro Fuuma came to us.

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

　Kotaro Fuuma's search ability is the best in the Ashtaroth Legion.

　Even though our party was now joined by the best searchers, we were still divided into groups to search this dungeon because it was so large.

　Last time, we found that Eve and Jeanne are unexpectedly compatible with each other, and that they get better results when they compete with each other, so we use that method again this time.

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

　Jeanne looked unhappy, but Eve bowed to her and reluctantly agreed to do so. I guess she wanted to seem like a sensible girl.

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

　That left me and Ryoma as a team, and the half-elf girl beamed.

"Well, when you meet your father, your grandson may be moving around in your belly," she said.

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

　I said.

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

　I asked Kotaro to accompany her because I was afraid that he might push me down if we went into the dark.

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

　Kotaro said,

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

"Yes," he said quietly.

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

　Kotaro quietly obeyed.

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

　Ryoma looks disappointed, but when he sees Kotaro's skillful work, he changes his mind.

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

"This is amazing. So this is the ninja I've heard so much about.

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

　Kotaro put his ear to the wall of the dungeon to see if there was a hidden door in the back.

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

　He puts his ear to the ground to grasp the structure of the dungeon.

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

　To an ordinary person, this was a divine feat.

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

　After all, ninjas are the best for exploration.

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

　As I was thinking this once again, Kazama Kotaro stopped moving.

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

　When he found a rock in the distance, he said that it was suspicious.

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

　It was indeed suspicious to find such a large rock in the basement of the dungeon, but could there be an ancient mirror in the rock?

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

　Kotaro answered "probably" in the affirmative and started to examine the rock.

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

　He seemed to be looking for traps or tricks, but there seemed to be nothing in particular.

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

　--When Kotaro touched the rock, a spear protruded from it.

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

　The sharp spear pierced Kotaro's maid's uniform.

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

"Kotaro-dono!

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

　Ryoma shouted and clapped her on the shoulder.

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

"Don't worry, the best ninja will not die from that!"

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

　In fact, if you look closely, you can see that the spear is stuck in a wooden log.

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

　A common ninja move, but where did he get that log?

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

　Are they carrying it around with them?

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

　I saw Kazama Kotaro, who was unharmed and resuming his investigation, but he was expressionless and did not say anything.

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

　Despite such troubles, Kotaro disarms all the traps and Jeanne and the others join him just in time.

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

　Now that we were all together, we entered the large rock, which was an altar carved out of the rock.

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

It looks like a place used by the ancients for priests," Eve said.

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

　Eve said, and she seemed to be right.

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

　Designs and patterns of ancient magical civilizations can be seen everywhere.

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

"It's a place that makes me feel very sacred ......," she said.

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

　The ritual halls of ancient magical civilizations are often set up in places where dragon veins or earth veins run through. It is commonly referred to as a power spot, and you could often feel something just by being there.

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

"It certainly gives me a sense of solemnity.

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

　I said the same thing and went deeper into the rock.

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

　The inside of the rock is endlessly wide. It was like a small mansion, but the stairs were long.

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

　It clearly defies the laws of physics, but perhaps this space is unique.

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

　The space has been twisted and turned, destroying the concept of space.

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

　Ancient magical civilizations are amazing, but still, after walking for about three minutes, an altar comes into view.

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

　Perhaps, there is an ancient mirror placed there.

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

　The mirror is said to be able to communicate with the dead.

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

　The mirror itself is an accessory to meet the hero Sakamoto Ryoma, but I am a magician, and the thought of an ancient artifact there makes me very excited.

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

　I told Eve,

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

"I see the master is as happy as a child.

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

　I stepped into the altar room, feeling so excited that Eve said to me, "Master can be as excited as a child, can't he?
