When I came to the entrance of the cave, I immediately saw a pile of trash.

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

It was immediately apparent that quite a bit of it had been dumped.

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

'That's terrible.'

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

I heard my father's small voice reaching my ears.

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

It is indeed terrible.

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

It's terrible to throw it all away in Sharmi's home.

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

Mr. Nargas comes next to me and lightly taps the father in front of him on the shoulder.

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

When the father looks behind him, he points upward.

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

I follow his lead and look up. There is a step in the wall of the cave and there is Sharmi.

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

All the children are curled up.

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

This must be how Sharmi sleeps.

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

The father nodded to Mr. Nargas and gave him some instructions with his finger.

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

Seeing this, Mr. Nargas and the others moved quietly to the opposite wall, leaving Mr. Early behind.

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

The entrance to this cave is large and the inside is quite spacious.

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

So they seemed to split into two groups to investigate inside.

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

The father gives Ciel, who is a short distance away, a signal to move his palm down and up and down twice.

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

Then Ciel got down on the spot.

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

It's a signal to wait, but when did I teach it to him?

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

Dad stares at me, and I take a small deep breath to compose myself.

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

Then, I nodded my head to let him know that I was okay.

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

Dad saw this and quietly entered the cave.

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

I followed him, and Arley followed behind me.

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

We moved quietly along the wall.

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

Because of the amount of trash, we could not see Mr. Nargis and the others who were supposed to be on the other side.

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

I wonder, rather, how much they are hoarding.

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

As we proceed inside from the entrance, it gets darker and darker.

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

We can't turn on the lights, so we stop moving in the middle of the road.

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

I noticed that the father looked up, so I followed him and looked up to see Sharmi and the others in the darkness.

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

None of them are moving, so I know they are still sleeping.

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

I am relieved, but also uncomfortable.

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

This is not normal.

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

If they have penetrated this far into their dwelling place, they would surely wake up.

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

And yet, it doesn't happen.

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

Could it be that he can't get up?

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

I looked at the father in front of me and saw that he was taking something out of his bag.

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

I think he would wake up if I turned on the light, but what is he going to do?

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

I wonder if he has prepared something.

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

But still, there is a lot of garbage.

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

I'm walking along the wall so as not to be spotted, but the trash is pushing me to the edge of the wall.

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

Looking at the trash carefully, I think there are many magic items.

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

I move the large magic item at my feet a little.

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

Huh?

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

Underneath the trash, I see a pattern that I have seen somewhere before.

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

As soon as I saw it, I felt an unpleasant sweat running down my back.

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

However, the pattern is not even half visible yet.

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

To be sure, I step over to the magic item once more.

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

As I was about to move the magic item, being careful not to make any noise, I was tapped on the shoulder by my father.

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

I looked ahead in surprise and saw that he was giving me the same signal he had given Ciel earlier.

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

In other words, I guessed he meant to wait here.

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

I understood, but shook my head.

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

He looked surprised to see me, but I ignored him and pointed downwards with my finger so that his gaze would be downwards.

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

Mr. Early noticed, too, and shifted his body a little to look at his feet with his father.

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

The next moment, I felt my dad tense up.

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

Feeling this, he gently shifted the magic item he had just tried to move to the side.

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

The half-obscured pattern that I had seen earlier came into full view.

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

I knew it," I thought to myself.

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

I must have seen it before.

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

The pattern was used in the magic circle that had caught Serpent.

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

The father must have noticed it, too, because he moved to lean a little closer to the wall.

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

At that time, he gave a firm instruction to Mr. Early as well.

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

Arlie-san looked a little strange, but he followed his father's instruction and moved closer to the wall.

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

I looked at my dad and he looked at me and nodded.

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

Then he pointed outward.

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

Now we walk slowly outward in the cave, with Mr. Early in the lead.

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

It was tough to move without being recognized by Sharmi and the others, but now we had to hurry and get away from the magic circle or anything could happen.

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

Speaking of which, what about Mr. Nargus and the others?

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

We walked out of the cave, and as we left the place for a bit, we saw Mr. Early activate a small magic item.

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

'This is to let Nargas and the others know that there has been an anomaly, so I think they will come out soon.

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

I leave the cave for a bit with Ciel.

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

After a while, Narugasu and the others came out of the cave.

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

─ Is something wrong?　Something happened, didn't it?"

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

Mr. Piar looked at us with concern.

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

Mr. Jaggi and Mr. Nargis also looked worried.

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

You guys," he said, "you're upper-level adventurers, so hide your expressions a little.

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

Nargis and the others look uncomfortable at their father's words.

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

Nargis and the others look uncomfortable at his father's words, "Well, be careful from now on. The magic circle was the cause of the end of our investigation of the cave.

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

─ Magic circle?

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

Nargis looks puzzled.

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

Ivy found a big magic circle under the trash in that cave.

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

Mr. Nargas and the others are silent at their father's words.

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

Mr. Nargas and the others are silent. "So you think the magic circle is what's wrong with Sharmi?

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

─ Perhaps it is. The magic circle and the garbage must have done something to Sharmi.

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

That's terrible.

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

Now that we know the cause, can we break the spell?

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

Dad, do you think you can break the spell?

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

"It will be difficult. The magic of the trash has made him violent.

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

That's right.

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

It seems that even though he was different before, he attacks people when he sees them now.

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

He's sleeping now, though, isn't he? In the meantime?"

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

'Yes, I suppose so. There's a chance we can do something about it in the meantime. ......"

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

I see the look on your father's face and feel that it may be impossible.

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

'Mr. Ivy. Why don't we go back to the village and ask the Commander if there is any way to break the spell?

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

'Sure. Thank you, Mr. Peal."

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

I smiled a little and Mr. Peal looked relieved.

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

Maybe I looked terrible?

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

I have to pull myself together.

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

'What do you want to do, Mr. Druid?　Can I go back to the village once?　As it is. It's not safe for us to search the caves, is it?

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

Yes, it's not safe to fall victim to the magic again. Let's go back to the village.

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

Nargis and the others looked around and pointed in the direction of the village.

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

I nodded and followed Mr. Piar, who was leading the way.

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

Ciel quickly came up next to me.

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

We left the cave in silence for a while.

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

'Phew, I was nervous. By the way, Ivy did a good job finding the magic circle."

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

When we were quite far from the cave, I heard Mr. Jaggi let out a small breath behind me.

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

The pattern was the same as the magic circle I had seen before.

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

The magic we saw before?　What kind of magic was it?"

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

Mr. Early looked at me and his father.

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

It seemed to be a magic to subdue demons. We were in a situation where it was activated, and my father and I had our memories erased or changed.

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

That's scary. I'm glad Ivy and the druid have the knowledge. If it had been just us, we might have been in danger.

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

I don't want my memory messed with any more than it already is."

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

Mr. Jaggi agreed with Mr. Peal.

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

We hurried back to the village, and as soon as we saw the gate, we felt the strength leave our bodies.
