93 side Alfine: In the hole.txt





 When I finished pulling up the rope, I crossed my arms and stood in front of Meira on the ground.


It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with your sister, because she's going to be embarrassed if you look at her with such beastly eyes ......

Meira, you know why I'm mad at you, don't you?

No, no! You know, that hole. It was whispering to me! If you asked me to explore inside, I'd have to do it.

Voice? There's no way you can hear that: ......

'I can hear you. Come on down!


 Mayra was desperately trying to make an excuse, but by all accounts, there was no way she could hear the voices as there was no one in the hole.


'But thanks to you, we've made a great discovery! Great discovery!

'Come to think of it, you said something like that when you were pulling out, but what did you find? Rebecca said there's nothing in the hole, too.


 Meira stood up and took my hand in hers, her eyes sparkling.


'That's because the people you're looking for were only looking down! I found it next to the hole. Beside!

Side?

Yeah, just look here.


 As Meira said this, she pulled my hand away and led me to the edge of the Abyssal Hole.

 Then she pointed to a certain part of the abyss of the hole and made a proud face.

 The place is different from the other hole abysses, the edges have been scraped off as if something had rubbed off, and the ground is bare, with no grass growing, as if there was a lot of traffic.


'Hey, it doesn't look like the surroundings ....... What's wrong with this place?

'I heard that the search party hadn't gone down into the hole, so I looked at this place and thought it was pretty strange. I thought it was quite strange because there were quite a few people 'roped down' here. So I looked around, and I found the remains of the rope fixation hidden in the shadows of the big tree there.


 Meira pointed to a large, solidly rooted, large tree and a patch of grass.


'Do you think someone tied a rope to that large tree and came down only recently?

Yeah, I thought so. There were quite a few people down there until just before the search party came in.

'Then, two or three weeks ago ....... It doesn't sound like you're an adventurer. The Adventurer's Guild forbids it, and it's not like there's anything to go down with it.


 Abyss Fall is now filled with adventurers in large numbers to search for Abyss Walkers, but not long ago, I heard that the only people who would come this far were the consecrated group led by a representative of the Knights of the Ygghanotes Frontier Count.

 What does it mean that there are traces of a large number of people passing back and forth into such a remote Abyss Falls hole?


We don't know who was down there, but there are quite a few traces of people getting down on the walls of the hole. Maybe the search request was focused on the periphery of Abyss Falls and no one was paying attention to the hole, so they didn't find it, though. There's definitely someone down there.

So, what's this thing Meira found?

Hmmm, a door. A door. A hidden door. You may be able to fool the eyes of others, but you can't fool the eyes of me, who specializes in archaeological research. The wall of the hole was made to hide it, but again, there were traces of it being opened and closed until very recently. It's just down from this big tree, straight down to the hole.


 Mayra put her hands on her hips and proudly talked about what she had found.


'The door ....... So that means there's a room inside?

I don't know, because Al pulled me up just as I was about to check it out. But he looked like he could have had a room or some kind of facility.

"...... It may indeed be a great discovery ...... soon to the Adventurers Guild--

Dammit! Why don't we search for it ourselves first? If I report this to the guild, they're going to take the whole thing, and I'm not sure if they'll let us search for it.

But there's only two of them, isn't it dangerous? I still think we should report this place.

No, I'm the first one to find it.


 Meira clings to my waist and shakes her head in disgust and screams.


 But I don't like dark and cramped places. ......

 I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world.

 Besides, if we get off the train together, there's no one to pull us out.

 I'm not sure I'd be able to handle the risk of letting Mayra go on her own.


 When Meira saw that I wasn't shaking my head, she got up from her clinging hips and entered the wagon and began rummaging around for something.

 A few moments later, Meira emerged from the wagon and found an unfamiliar tool in her hand.


'If we both get off, we can still get up with this thing, so we'll be fine.

Pulley?

"Manual winder! I forgot because I was in such a hurry to get down earlier, but if I put this through the rope, I can just wrap this handle around it and come up! Hey. Hey. So let's get out! And there are two! Al-Kyun!


 Meira's eyes sparkled and she insisted on getting off.


 Huh ...... I feel like I probably wouldn't be able to convince her to go down like this.

 I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of your time with us.


 I've decided to raise the flag on Meira's insistence.


I'm not going to be able to get it right. I get it. I'm sure you'll want to take some equipment and food with you. I'll bring plenty of light. I don't like dark places.

'Kyah! Al-Kyun's cool! Sis, you're going to love it!


 Meira jumped out of the wagon towards me.

 I took Meira in my arms and immediately began to prepare to go downstairs.
