　So the guard in front of the prison attacked Toshizo at the same time. The guard, who is at the front of the jail, attacks both Toshizo and Toshizo at the same time. The guard loses consciousness.

"You must be Ashtaroth, the thief. How would you like to break into the treasure room and steal the treasure?

That's not so bad, but maybe some other time. I'd like to join up with Jeanne as soon as possible and then with Eve to move the army.

　Toshizo assures, and immediately cuts down the guards with his longsword.

　I am sorry to hear that, but it is all I have left to do now. I put some magic into my fist and headed for the exit, fighting with my bare fists.

　In no time at all, I was in the entrance room of the castle, where I was surrounded by dozens of guards. They came from all directions. Moreover, it seemed that more reinforcements were on the way.

"You are very skillful.

　Count Ismariah responded.

"Is there any reason to have so little security when you're welcoming the Demon King to the castle?

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

There is no reason.

"No. That's what I'm saying. I'm not saying that you should be captured. Because even if we do, you'll escape again.

"The Demon King Asito committed suicide in prison. He was a proud man, let's say.

"I appreciate that, but I'm not willing to die for free. I'd like to take some guards with me and have your head.

"That's a tall order," Ismariah said.

　As Ismariah said this, his gaze met the butler's on the other side of the room. At the same time, the butler pushed something like a button.

　At the same time, the butler pushed something like a button, and the ground where Toshizo was standing suddenly became empty. Toshizo fell into the basement.

　The butler looked at him as if he were a stranger and said, "I'm screwed.

"I was confident that I could escape in this situation, but I couldn't do it without Toshizo," he said.

"Then fall into the basement with me. You can rot there."

　And as soon as he says that, there's a crack below me, and I'm free from the yoke of gravity.

　I fall headlong. It feels like going down a torrent, but the difference is that it's not as fun as going down a torrent.

　You would not want to die from the impact of the fall, so you use both hands to slow down your fall. When he reaches the point of fall, he tries to mitigate the impact by injecting magic power backwards. If he had not done so, he would have been knocked to the ground and broken his bones.

　This pit seems to have the function of injuring the faller to the point of death and killing him in agony and agony in the dungeon. It is a grotesque contraption.

　When I fell into the pit and checked my surroundings, I found skeletons all around me. Human or demon. There are signs that the device has been used for hundreds of years. It seems that the Count's slyness is inherited from his ancestors.

Now let's see if Toshizo is safe.

　He could always verbalize and taunt the Count's slyness, so he begins to search for his partner. If he was injured, he needed to patch him up, but that seemed to be licking him too well.

　Toshizo seemed to have slowed his fall and taken a passive stance by thrusting his longsword against the wall on the way down. There was not a scratch on him.

"That's the ogre's XO, isn't it?"

　He smiled wryly.

"But I had not expected to find such a grim place so deep in the depths of Ismailia Castle.

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

It looks like it was built by the Count's ancestors.

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

A gloomy ancestor. Just like him.

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

　Toshizo shares the same thought, and I cast a "light" spell on the hilt of my longsword.

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

"Use the light to search. You turn left, I turn right."

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

"Aye."

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

　When Toshizo moves, I move too, and we begin our search. The dungeon can be circled in about five minutes. At the same point, I met up with Toshizo.

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

"Maybe this is what you call a dead end.

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

　Toshizo blurted out, but he had not yet checked inside the water moat in the center of the dungeon.

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

"If there is a moat, it must be connected to somewhere. We might be able to escape from there.

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

"Yes, that's right. Mister, go and dive a little.

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

You're not going to let the master do that.

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

　He says jokingly.

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

I'm not a good swimmer. Besides, if there's a grate on the gate, you'll need your husband's magic.

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

"Sure."

　When I'm satisfied, I go underwater. I cast the spell of water walk. This magic allows me to walk on the bottom of the water and even to get air.

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

　Toshizo envies me for being such a wizard, but I go on to check out the moat. It seems to be connected to some other place, but the problem is that the bars are treated with anti-magic. It is difficult to cut them with magic.

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

　I tried to float on the surface of the water, but was unable to do so. I tried to float up to the surface of the water, but was unable to do so because I found an unfamiliar figure behind the grating.

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

　He was an old man wearing a fox mask, and he was trying to perform the art of sword fighting underwater.

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

　Is it possible to do this underwater?　As I observed him carefully, the old man performed a brilliant sword drawing technique, as if he was mocking my unfounded fears.

　When a square line is drawn, the grid is cut according to the shape of the line. It is splendid. It was not at all inferior to the swordsmanship of Toshizo just now.

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

　The old man must have noticed that I was observing him. He made a gesture with his chin, saying, "Follow me. I nodded to indicate that I would comply with his will, and then came to the surface and called out to Toshizo.

"An interesting swordsman has come to my rescue. A fox-faced swordsman.

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

　Toshizo must have some idea what he is talking about.

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

"Ho ......."

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

　He puts spit in his ears and prepares to dive into the water.

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

　Toshizo jumped into the water and swam awkwardly through the broken grate.

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

　I followed right behind him and swam underwater to another place that was not a prison.
