We left the branch manager's office and went to the reception desk, where we waited quietly for Mr. Crown.

　About five minutes later.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

　For some reason, Mr. Crown appeared in his new clothes.
　He looked refreshed, as if he had just finished a job.

I'm surprised. ....... I didn't think you'd actually come .......

Yeah, Allen was right about that. ......

　Leah and Rose, who had insisted earlier that they would never come, seemed surprised by the unexpected result.

I'm not sure what to make of that. We'll keep our word.

　I'm not sure what to make of that.

I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results.

"Yes, please.

　So we were led by Mr. Crown to the dungeon.

　We went straight down the long corridor and at the end of the corridor, turned left.
　After that, we turned left and right along a narrow, narrow path.

(It's like a maze. ......)

　While I was thinking about it.

As I was thinking that, I said, "Well, I'm sorry for being so cryptic. It's just some kind of jailbreak measure, so I hope you understand.

　He said that and gave me a small explanation.

I see, that's what it means.

　I see, that's what it means." This complicated structure seems to have been made that way on purpose.

　As we walked for a while, we saw a large black door with a stern look on it.
　There were two guards standing on either side of the door, and they bowed quietly to me.

"Please wait a moment .......

　Mr. Crown said, and unlocked the door, which was locked multiple times.

　When all the locks have been opened - padlocks, bolts, numbered cylinder locks, and ordinary locks - the door slowly opens with a creepy sound.

That's it. ....... It's a little dim inside, so watch your step.

　He gave a single word of warning and went down the spiral staircase leading to the back of the door.

　We followed soon after.

(...... It's definitely dark.

　( It's definitely dark.) The light embedded in the wall gives off a weak glow, and it's only bright enough to barely see our feet.
　Moreover, the stairs are so narrow that two people can barely fit through.

　The sound of shoes clicking on the stairs echoed in the background.

I'm not sure if you've ever heard of ......?　This place is 'coming out' .......

　Mr. Crown had a little story to tell.

"You get ......?

"Yes, ........ Because of the nature of this dungeon, there are a few suicides a year. Maybe it's because they're desperate for a long sentence. ......

　He muttered with a complicated expression.

According to a famous psychic medium, this place is crawling with the ghosts of prisoners who committed suicide. ....... In fact, many guards have heard the voices of "I'm going to kill you ......", "I hate you ......", and "Hey, you want to come with me? I hate you. Mr. Allen, if you hear strange voices, don't react to them. ......?　If you do, you might be taken to the other side of the world. ......

　I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that. ....... I'll keep that in mind.

　There are many things in this world that have not been clarified by science.
　There are many things in this world that are not understood by science, and there is no harm in being cautious.

...... It seems to be totally safe. Are you really good at this kind of ghost story?

"Haha. I'm not good at it, but I'm not bad at it either. Just ......

　I glanced back behind me and there he was.

"......".

　It's not that I'm not good at it.
　They were shaking and grabbing my sleeves and arms tightly.

"...... Leah, Rose. If you're scared, you can wait outside, okay?

"B-b-b-but I'm not scared!　It's just a little ...... creepy in the back. ......!

I'm afraid of a grudge. ......?　You can't insult a swordsman like that. ......!

　The two of them said with a firm attitude,......, and their hands grabbed me tightly and did not let go.

　It seems that what they just said scared them very much.

"Okay, okay. I'm sorry.

　I apologized with a wry smile and walked down the stairs.

"Oh, come on, ....... Don't walk so fast, ......!

You can always tell me something cheerful. ......?

　Then, after following Mr. Crown for a while.

"Here we are. This is the Orest dungeon.

　This is the Orest dungeon, just as I had imagined.



　On either side of the straight, endless corridor was a small, four-tatami-mat prison.
　Inside, there was only a simple toilet, a pipe bed, and a small wooden desk.
　There were no bars, but instead there was a clear glass partition.
　It was probably some kind of tempered glass.

　And then.

""Hee......?"

　Leah and Rose scream at the same time.

　They looked at the prisoners in front of them.

　An old man with a good-natured smile on his face.
　A middle-aged man mumbling something to the wall.
　A young woman who just keeps tapping on the glass in silence.

　There was something ...... very different about the space.

I was drawn in () and said, "Don't make too much eye contact. Don't make too much eye contact. You'll get drawn in(・・・・・)(・・・・).

　After giving a single word of advice, Mr. Crown simply walked straight down the corridor, paying no attention to the prisoners.

　We followed him, trying not to look at the prisoners.

　After walking for a while, Mr. Crown stopped in front of a prison.

"Here we are.

　There was a man in there.

　He must be in his late thirties.
　He was nearly two meters tall.
　He had short dark blue hair pulled back all the way.
　He has high eyebrows, intimidating eyes and a large mouth - a wild beast-like face with a long stubble.
　Kuro-and-white bordered prison uniform.
　You'll be able to find a lot more than just a few of these in the marketplace.

It was a little awkward. "...... Oh!　I'm not sure what to make of it.

　I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've.
