Book 3. Chapter 7
Their view was filled by the light from the magic circle; the air definitely felt different, although nothing could be seen. It was clearly different from the air at the depths of hell. Sensing a breeze, Hajime’s cheeks began to loosen.
The sight that came into view after the light settled was…
A cave.
“Wait, what?”
Without any further thought, Hajime, who believed that the other side of the magic circle was the surface, unintentionally inserted a tsukkomi at the sight that wasn’t any better. Honestly, he was extremely disappointed.
After feeling a tug on his shirt, he turned his head towards Yue and she comforted him with reassuring words.
“… It’s a secret passage… it’s not uncommon for it to be hidden” (Yue)
“A- ah, is that so? It certainly is. There is no way that the entrance to the Abode of Traitors wouldn’t be hidden, right?” (Hajime)
Hajime felt considerably ashamed to not realize something so simple. He pulled himself together while scratching his head. Without the aid of the Green Light Stone, Hajime and Yue advanced through the pitch-black cave without any problems.
