Chapter 126

The Town of Crystal

The path that Salyue-san took was headed towards a wide open dark hole. It seemed like a passage, but it was pitch dark, with no light at all.

“Lighting.”

When Ar-niisama cast magic to help illuminate our steps, Fall-san who was walking right ahead of him suddenly raised their voice, “Gyaa!” and crouched.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

What’s wrong?!

As we stopped walking in surprise, the leading Salyue-san turned their head while covering their eyes with their sleeves.

“I am terribly sorry, but that light is too dazzling for us. Would you mind putting out the light?”

Salyue-san said as they slightly peeked from their sleeves, their pupils were gold in color, and the irises were vertical–just like a snake’s.

Could they be a human beast?

“Apologies. However, our vision doesn’t work well in the dark. …What about this?”

Ar-niisama covered his left hand that had light on it with a handkerchief. A dim light shone from within the handkerchief.

“Thank you for your consideration.”

I see. Since they have been living in the dark underground, perhaps they aren’t good with anything bright.

And that is also why they always close their eyes.

“We can still see our steps with this much light, so it’s alright. More importantly, are your eyes alright?”

“Yeah. I think Fall will also recover soon.”

Fall-san was pinning their eyes down while still standing.

Lakan-san also turned their face away so that they wouldn’t look straight at the light.

“I will heal it. O healing wind, I–”

“There is no need to trouble Savior-sama for this. It will heal quickly with this. Heal.”

Thanks for reading at convallariaslibrary❁ᑕ♡m

Just as Frank-san was about to chant healing magic, Salyue-san beat him to it as they put their hand to Fall-san’s eyelids and quickly recited heal.

Ooh.

Even without having to recite a long chant just like what the priests do, it can activate.

In other words, it meant that the people here conducted different methods of developing magic compared to the people on the surface, I guess.

To the people studying magic, it seems interesting to compare both ways.

“How did you do the magic just now? It activated right away, but how did you gather mana, then? Hmm. Certainly, the mana here is denser than on the surface, but chanting should still be necessary. This is very interesting.”

Karin-san fixed her thick eyeglasses as she drew near Salyue-san.

Salyue-san slowly moved while properly avoiding her, before they looked down towards Karin-san with their reptile-like pupils.

When I looked at this scene, I realized that Salyue-san was quite tall.

They seemed to be around the same height as Frank-san, but it didn’t seem so on a first glance due to how thin Salyue-san was.

“You spoke of mana, but there is nothing like monsters here.¹”

“No. That’s not it, but you need mana in order to activate magic, and that is–”

“Yes, yes, Karin, stop. This isn’t the right time and place to be having that kind of conversation. We need to think of ways to return to the surface now.”

The disjointed conversation between Salyue-san and Karin-san was stopped by Amanda-san.

Since my step was also dark, I gathered the light from Lighting magic on my palm just like Ar-niisama, and covered it with a handkerchief to make it less radiant.

“Moreover, there might be a new type of slime once we arrive at the underground city.”

“Is that so? Then, let’s go quickly.”

Karin-san then went past Salyue-san and began walking full of spirit.

Since Salyue-san said that there was no monster here, I think there shouldn’t be any slime too… I was pondering about it as I looked towards Frank-san. When our eyes met, Frank-san grinned broadly, his expression was akin to a mischievous priest.

“It’s still dark even if we have casted Lighting to shine on our steps, so Yuuri, hold Amanda’s hand tightly, okay?”

“Understood, Ar-niisama!”

We couldn’t tell yet whether Salyue-san and the others who suddenly appeared were truly our allies, so Ar-niisama and the others didn’t dare to be careless.

Virna-san also picked up the sound from our surroundings, as her ears were twitching.

The underground town was located beneath, not above our location.

On the other side of the long passage, a bluish-wide light could be seen.

When we took a step forward, a town that was made of azure crystals appeared.

A lot of the huge crystals sprang forth from the ground, but there were things like windows and something like an entrance made on it.

Since there is no other building-like thing, I wonder if those are their houses?

Moreover, how should I say it, I don’t feel any sense of life around, but…

I held Amanda-san’s hand tightly as I looked around the surroundings.

Amidst the town, a faint phosphorescence-like light came out from a crystal, but it was still generally dim.

There were people that seemed to be the residents of the town, and they all wore white clothes just like Salyue-san, but as far as I could see, there was no figure of a child.

I walked into the town while thinking about how it was a somewhat lonesome town.
