Eumis Isle said in a disgusted voice.

Now let's see what's in here.
Deus ex machina opened the door of the second hidden cupboard.
What he found there was the Magi Crystal.

The group then looked around the room for something else.

"Makina-sama, actually ......".
"Actually, I'm looking for something else," said Squire Rey.
What's wrong?

"There were footprints here."
What?
I looked where Ray was pointing, but I couldn't see anything. At least not to Nothern Quetos and Yumis Isle, who can see them with their naked eyes.

The non-human Machina could see it, but pretended not to see it here.
"So you can't see them, but ...... Ray can?"
"Yes. They are off-road soles with metal studs (Nagel). Size 27 to 28, male, I'd guess."

"You can tell that much?
Nathanon Quetos is surprised.
"Master Machina, is he the mastermind behind all this?

Yumis Isle said that the owner of the footprints looked suspicious.
"That's a strong possibility. Did he take something out of here?
"Master Machina, the footprints are pointing towards your wall."

I see.
Makina checked there to see if there was a hidden door or cupboard,
"There's a door!"

"Oh! The owner of the footprints must have gone to the back of the door!
"Is it safe there?"
Northern Quetos and Yumis Isle each gave their impressions.

Rey gave some helpful information.
"But that doesn't mean there are no guardian golems. Ray, go ahead.

Deus ex machina opens the hidden door in the same way as before.
And the same goes for Ray.

However, the room beyond was not

Except for the door through which you entered, the walls on three sides were shelves. But there was nothing on them.
（It must have been an abandoned ruin. Most of them had been taken out.)
Makina thought so. So did the old man.

Yes, the previous room was almost dust-free, but this room was dusty.
And on top of the dust, clearly .......

There were many footprints that looked like they belonged to the man I mentioned earlier.

The shelf in front. He seems to have rummaged through something there.

"By the look of the dust and the size of the shelf, it could be a box-like object or a few books."
A thin layer of dust remained in a square.
"Someone must have taken them when they visited."

Makina and Northernon agreed.
