Chapter 180: At the Place Where We Fell
Translator: Blushy
Editor: Sam
It was like I had suddenly lost my footing . Lawk and I fell down while still standing and holding hands .
I looked up stunned and could make out the faint hint of the sky even though it was dark . It seemed like we had fallen through a tiny gap in the ground . It may seem impossible, but in fact, people can easily fall through even the tiniest gap between the train and the platform .
I can’t get up because my eyes are unaccustomed to the dark, but I don’t seem injured either .
“There reawwy wash a howe,” (There really was a hole) I mumbled and the hand that was holding mine twitched . He seemed to have come back to his senses because of what I had said . Lawk probably wasn’t injured either since he wasn’t crying . But the words that he said back to me was a surprise, “Not this one . ”
“Noth thhish one?”
What’s not this one?
“This isn’t the hole I wanted us to go to . ”
“Whath…”
“There’s a hole in the hill up ahead . One that someone had dug up . ”
I see . So, no one might know about this hole and the ceiling might collapse because of people running .
“Laww yeww in a woud voice . ” (Lawk yell in a loud voice)
“In a loud voice?”
“Yeww for hewp . ” (Yell for help)
That’s right . We were able to stay somewhat calm since the both of us were here, but we’re in an emergency . Lawk looked up while stunned, like I had done earlier, and shouted into the hole .
“Heeey!”
I see . It was certainly easier to yell ‘hey’ rather than ‘help’ . I’ll do that too .
“Heeey!”
“Heeey!”
We immediately felt the presence of people from above as we were both yelling and the first thing we saw was dirt falling .
“Uoah . ”
“Ahh . ”
We moved around on all fours and brushed the dirt off our heads .
“Lei-sama?” Then a familiar voice came from above my head .

“Hansh!”
“There you are! They’re here! Wait! Don’t run!” Hans’s voice was as pleasant as always, but he had never sounded so relieved . Hans laid on his stomach and gently reached into the hole . Then, he carefully touched the walls . But dirt fell down from the places where he touched .
“Hansh, thhe dirth ish fawwing . ” (Hans, the dirt is falling)
“Lei-sama, you’re okay . Stay calm . I’ll definitely get you out . ”
“Ai . ”
“But how did you fall down from such a small hole?” He was probably speaking to himself . But I’ve seen people fall into gaps like this in my previous life . Surprisingly, people can fall from narrow holes, even more so when they’re children .
Lawk stood up and did his best to reach out . However, we had fallen deeper than we had expected, so his hands didn’t reach Hans, and the hole was only big enough to fit an adult’s shoulder .
“Lei-sama, I’ll have someone get me a rope, so please behave yourself down there . ”
“Ai . ”
It’s a good idea to have them make a loop with the ropes and pull us up by the armpits . So, we’ll just sit down and wait somewhere so the dirt doesn’t fall until then .
“Laww shith down . ”
“Okay . Sorry, Lei . ”

“Ith’sh awrighth . They’ww geth ush outh righth away . ” (It’s alright . They’ll get us out right away)
My eyes grew accustomed to the light as we both huddled together, and the light shining through the hole gave me a vague idea of what was happening on the other side .
“It’s a long way down isn’t it?”
“Ith’sh wiwe a cave . ”
“Yeah . There’s a hole like this on the hill and it leads all the way down . ”
It didn’t look like a big hill .
“I heard there was a battle around here long ago, and they widened the original hole to make a maze so that they could hide . I was told that we weren’t allowed to enter . ”
Of course . Caves and mazes were places that a six year old boy should never be allowed to enter . When I observed our surroundings, I felt that the wall was smooth at the end and a person’s hands could pass through .
On the other hand, the walls in the area where we fell were soft and people couldn’t put their hands through .
“Thath’sh where thhe howe wash made wather . ” (That’s where the hole was made later)
I guessed . While I was observing, there was a lot of activity above us .
“I didn’t expect you to come this way . I told you it was dangerous cause there were holes here, didn’t I?”
“I, I thought you were talking about the holes over there . ”

It might have been Nico’s guard who was angry . Hans didn’t seem to know about this . I wish the guards shared information with each other .
“I’ll bring the rope as quickly as I can, but it might be quicker to walk around to the hole in the hill . I’ll bring some light with me too . ”
“It’s connected to the other side?! If we can get there safely, then it might be safer for Lei-sama that way rather than trying to get her out with a rope . ”
“Well, we’ll try both ways . I’ll get more people to help . ”
Hans and the people from the mansion were talking above us . I’m sure Nico’s guard must be flustered .
“Connected… from over there?” Lawk whispered next to me . I have a bad feeling about this .
“Laww . ”
“Let’s go!”
“Aah!”
Lawk stood up and ran towards the passage that was vaguely visible from the hole .
I suppose I have to call Hans . However, Lawk said that this passage is a maze . Is the important thing to get myself out first or not to leave Lawk alone?
“We can’th sheperathe, Laww . ” (We can’t separate, Lawk)
I also stood up and began to move towards Lawk . Briskly, of course .
