Chapter 399.2: Captive Lightning Emperor ④
In other words, from this point onwards, the only ones being held captive here are those the city system has determined to be of the same level as Kryhi. Even in the outside world, there are few people as powerful as Kryhi. I thought it was just a rumor and not too far cry from a lie, but it turns out that the people imprisoned there are far more powerful than those imprisoned in the upper level.
I instinctively swallow my saliva. Unlike the upper levels, the rooms on the lowest level do not seem to be transparent. While walking down the corridor lined up with inorganic metal doors, I get goosebumps for some reason. Even I, whose senses aren’t that sharp, can feel it, so the others must be feeling the same. Zuri, who is walking next to me, has a grim expression on her face.
The staff member is walking nervously. Nora-ojou has a difficult look on her face, making it hard to tell what she is thinking. The only one who is acting the same as usual is Cry.
And then, Nora-ojou once again calls out to 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》. This time in a hushed voice.
“…… What is your relationship with the 《Lightning Emperor (Raitei)》?” (Nora)
At that question, 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 answers in a casual tone.
“Hmm? Nothing special. We are just――Friends.” (Cry)
“Hh!?” (Nora)
At that moment, I certainly see a look of agitation across Nora-ojou’s face.
