Chapter 15 Tower of Trial  Tasteless Enigmatic Riddle (Third Floor Later Part)  

The third floor of the tower of trial.

Gaping holes are on both sides of the road.

I carefully walk step by step.

"Old man, watch the surroundings and tell me if there's anything wrong with the bonfire."

"Celica, you're carrying a lot so be careful of your steps."

【Collapsing Floor】 Collapse when stepped on.

I stop on the narrow road.

A line of magic is drawn on the 50cm wide road. Blue inks cover the traps. All visible traps are covered by the blue inks.

The old man who saw it from behind speaks.

"Yeah, one will collapse the floor, the other will bounce off."

"They must be trying to kill us no matter what--let's go."

We keep walking on the winding road.

Moreover, since there's nothing to obstruct the view, the end door is always in our views.

--And.

The winding road got to the right side of the hall. And then it turns straight to the left end of the hall. Woosh woosh, wind blow from below my arms.

I stop and squint my eyes.

Moreover:

"--The road becomes even narrower huh."

The old man speaks while frowning.

"Yea, that's right."

"If it's like this, we have to walk while being careful of the floor."

"Y-yes? Praising me that much for such...."

I look up. At the ceiling.

However, of course I can see it. Rather, I can see its 【Status】.

【Status】

Element: 【Darkness】

Attack: 800

Vitality: 1500

Spider's Silk: Attack by spewing silk. Decrease speed.

Poisonous Fangs: Paralyze and Sleep effects.

--------------------

I grin and laugh.

"Eh, whaddya mean?"

I perk up my chin upward.

"You kiddin' me!"

"Hold your footing everyone.... Breeze who abides by my name  become raging blades  Rage on--<>"

WOOOOOSH--!

A storm runs amok near the ceiling.

The spider's death screams echo in the vast darkness.

It was as big as house.

The storm calms down.

"Everything's fine. Flame's still green."

"Ou yo."

We continue to walk on the narrow path while being careful of traps.

We finally arrived at the opposite bank.

There are a big door and five pedestals in front of us.

【Floor Door】 Door leading to the next floor.

I lower the bonfire on my back.

"Yes."

When she was finished with all five, the candles' flames on the pedestals became bigger turning into a big lump of green light.

And then, two keys appeared from within the green light.

Some words appeared too.

Celica immediately reads the words with her beautiful voice.

The old man twists his thick neck.

I squint my eyes at the keys in silent.

"What is it Keika?"

"The heck. Then the red key for women is the correct one eh."

【Dummy Women Key】 Tentacle slimes will fall down, melting only the clothes and armor, the tentacles will coil on limbs and open them wide, thoroughly playing with you. Give you pleasures until you die.

I reflexively look at Celica.

"J-just now, you thought of something terribly indecent, didn't you Keika-sama!"

"So you really did! I can at least understand what someone I like.... is thinking."

The old man poorly whistles while grinning.

"Y-you're mistaken, it's because I like hero-sama.... uu."

I forcefully change the topic while scratching my head.

"Hou. Both are traps huh. I checked the door just now, it's using a magic key y'know."

I look at the door, the pedestals and the narrow road back.

"What should we do....? We have done as instructed."

The old man spoke with folded arms.

"There should be no problem. Although the dungeon is fully equipped to kill us, but I can assert that this wasn't made to be impossible to clear."

"Cause it's more fun that way. If it can't be cleared, the only fun they get is waiting for our demise. However, when the players die in confusion even though it can be cleared, the people who know the correct answer will laugh at their mistakes, multiplying the fun."

"...Is there someone who would be happy with such a disgusting thing..."

--I won't say that it's the demon king. Since these two might shirk back.

The old man speaks with a grim face.

"That's true.... How was it exactly written again?"

"I remember--it was written that 『Light the candles from the flame on the bonfire and continue onward. Otherwise, the green door will not open.』."

"Keika-sama?"

The green flame is relentlessly burning.

【Floor Key】 Key to open door to the next floor.

While laughing in astonishment, I roll my sleeve and thrust my hand into the bonfire!

I pull my hand and show the thing in it to the two.

A green key shined.

"It was put in that! We'd have to come and go five times if the bonfire wasn't here!"

If we did this normally, we'd have lost magic power and time, truly a repulsive dungeon.

Celica rushes in and touches my arm with her smooth hands.

"Nah, it's fine. This is nothing--<>."

Celica's blue eyes are filled with anxious light as she looks up at me.

"Fool. What'd we do if scars remain on that beautiful skin. I'm doing it."

Not sure if Celica is happy or mortified. She's glaring while biting her red lips.

The door made a sound when I pushed and turned the key.

"The biggest hints were the 『Green Door』 and what the old man said, 『What happens if the party's of men and women』."

"Really."

There are stairs going down inside.

The air is strangely damp, drop of waters are running on the stone walls.

"...How long have we been inside?"

"Four more hours huh... Let's do our best on the remaining two floors."

"Yes, Keika-sama."
