Volume 10, 38: Bumping into
Because of that, we were too confident in our actions.
Because there was no school, we waited until 8 or 9 AM to wake up, get breakfast and go to the school. After meeting Ms. Mari we learned that the church had left the Witt Empire at four AM. It was 11 AM now.
“What bad luck. If that’s true then Falan probably had to run too.”
I said with a laugh.
“Oh, early this morning when we had gotten to school there had been a letter on my table from Falan asking for a leave of absence from the school, so that basically happened.....well, I don’t care either way. Lanya is still here and it’s my job to monitor her.”
Ms. Mari said as she drank her coffee.
“Monitor?”
“Un. Sion’s Door said she is working on some strange things and they’ve seen terms like ‘green name’, ‘red name’, and ‘healthy state’ in the waste paper Lanya’s left behind.”
“Eh? Does that mean she has a way to see our names and titles?”
“Who knows. It’s best not to pry, but we can’t gamble on this sort of thing, can we?”
Ms. Mari kept an indifferent expression as she said that.
“Ok. You should be careful too. Although I think Lanya is our friend and shouldn’t do anything too outrageous.”
“I’ll act the appropriately, but what are you going to do? How are you going to get into the Abyss without the Church’s help?”
“About that....”
I looked at Aliyah and Oyado, both of whom had had strained expressions.
“Well, We’ll just think of another way. The entrance in the Ice Empire....to be honest, it’s impossible for us to open it after what’s happened. Maybe Yerbil knows how to sneak in though?”
Open the passage to the Abyss in the Ice Empire? Even if we could, the people of the Empire wouldn’t agree to it. And if we did it in secret then we would definitely become the enemy of the entire continent.
We would instantly become the same type of villains as Snake’s Eye. I don’t want this to happen right now anyways.
“Well, it’s impossible so let’s think of another way. Speaking of which, have you seen Bai Yueguang? I don’t think I’ve seen him for a while?”
“That guy....he heard that there were some interesting people in the city, so he was walking around looking for them.”
“Interesting people? I didn’t see them share anything....whatever. I’ll ask when I see him.”
“I want to ask, even if you find a way to go, can your current identity leave?”
Ms. Mari suddenly asked.
historical
“Your current body is not just borrowed from someone else, but they also have family. Wouldn’t they be worried if you ran around like this?”
“....That’s true. I was a little late getting home last night and Lilith stood in the door waiting for me....I seriously don’t know what to do. But if I don’t go then there isn’t any way that I’ll be able to get my body back.”
“That’s something you’re going to have to figure out. Well, if you fool around then it will just make other people’s family unhappy.”
“I know, I know. Don’t worry.”
I said, waving my hand.
“Can I skip class this afternoon?”
“Hey, don’t over do it.”
“All right, we’ll try.”
Then I took Aliyah and Oyado and left.
Tch. Who is going to go to class.

“So what now? Are you really going to ask Pryn and Princess Snow?”
Oyado suddenly asked after we had walked some distance.
“How could we. We definitely would become the enemies of the continent if we opened it.”
I immediately rejected that route.
“What are you going to do then elder sister? Go back to Falan’s laboratory from yesterday? She said that there was a crack down there, why don’t we try to open it?”
“Quit joking around. What’s the difference between that and opening the Ice Empire’s passage? Do you want it to become a second passageway to the Abyss?”
“Ah~ I didn’t know. What do you think we should do big sister?”
“Umm....Let’s look around some more. We may be able to find some clues....Ah!”
I suddenly recalled something.
“Remember that elf we met? The nurse elf, didn’t she say she was an information dealer? Maybe she has some information on entrances to the Abyss.”
“Oh, that’s right.”
Aliyah shared a look of realization.
“Then let’s hurry off!”
“Wait up. Let’s call some more people and call Bai Yueguang. I don’t think the three of us will be able to cross the wilds of the Abyss. From what I was able to see earlier, the creatures of the Abyss are much stronger than those on the Human side. Young people like us wouldn’t be able to withstand it.”
“Ah, it’s rare to see you being so cautious.”
“Haha....”
I could only laugh a few times. There’s nothing I can do about it. The first time I went there I was only able to stay for a short time before I was sent back to this side.
“Basically, let’s go find Bai Yueguang. By the way, where does that guy live?”
“I heard that he lives in the teachers area since he was responsible for teaching oriental sword techniques.”
“Sword techniques....”
Does that guy think it’s all knife techniques? Why sword techniques?
“Well, let’s go and see....eh?”
Just as I had finished talking I noticed Bai Yueguang, Tai Shixi and and Hei Luoli were heading towards us.
But someone a truly unexpected was following behind them!
“I heard for Ms. Mari that you were looking for us. Something interesting happen?”
“Yeah....there was some trouble in the beginning and we were agonizing over finding a solution, but I’ve just thought of a way.”
I quickly walked over to the person behind them.
“We meet again Ms. Louxin. Could you take us to the Abyss?”
That’s right. The person following behind Bai and the others was the was someone that we had seen not too long ago. The master of the Cold Hell, Ming Louxin.
