Akuyaku Reijou Ni Nanka Narimasen. Watashi Wa『Futsuu』no Koushaku Reijou Desu! - CH 260

What lies in the ruins.

“I’ve been playing in these ruins since I was a kid, but I remember this being a dead end?”

“Playing in B-grade ruins is insane.”

“…I don’t think Geraldin-san would want Rosarin to tell him that, would he?”

“I think you’re the one who’s insane, Ojousama.”

“Rosarin-chan, let’s face the reality.”

“Rosarin-sama is definitely more insane.”

“Ah~ yeah. Well… yep… right.”

“I have no allies here! Even Dirk is against me!”

“… Sorry.”

I even tried to mimic crying, but no one denied it. They are all terrible! I was so sulky that I crouched down in the ruins in a gymnastic sitting position.

“Rosarin.”

“Hmph!”

“N, nya~n.”

Hmph! You can’t just win me over with your sexy Beastified cuteness… you are cute, though! I may be influenced badly, but I do have some common sense left, okay! I might be a bit of a tomboy, but I’m still a normal girl, you know!”

“Nya, nyaao.”

“…………………………”

I’m not swayed by the cute Dirk’s meowing. I want to squirm a little, but I can’t! I made a firm decision.

However, I instantly fell for the super-pretty anchovy that suddenly appeared in front of me.

“Noooooo way, so cute! Cute, cute, cute, cute!! A miracle! Kiseki ga! Wonderful! Subarashii!! Impossibleeh!”

“Rosarin!? Your eyes are scary!”

I was so excited to see the kitten-sized, fully Beastified Dirk-sama. I immediately took him in my arms and rubbed him. Dirk’s fluffiness is the best in the world! I want to take him home! No, I’ll take him home! I’ll live with you for the rest of my life!! I’ll make you happy!!

“What an erratic excitement. Moreover, she even let out ‘subarashii’.”

“Her excitement is comparable to Geraldin-san’s earlier excitement. I’m glad Lord’s mood was restored.”

Hau… mofumofu… kitty Dirk is seriously an angel. I rubbed against Dirk while holding him in my arms. He play-bit me a little… and I gently embrace him.

As a result of Dirk’s improved magic power control, it seems that he can now change his size to some extent during complete Beastification. Next time, I’ll make him turn bigger and have him carry me on his back.

I, I’m not easy or anything, okay! It’s my brother who is easy! It’s Dirk’s fault for being too cute!

“Fumyuu… purrpurr. Geez, that tickles.”

I received a punch from the angel kitty… no, black panther. It’s a treat to get a paw stamp. Thanks for the treat. Yummy~

He’s purring, but he’s still so shy! I proceeded while petting Dirk everywhere. I think everyone was looking at me like I was a disappointment, but it was surely just my imagination! Dirk is just too cute for me to melt down!

With Dirk in my arms and me in an excellent mood, we reached the deepest part of the ruins.

“It’s a dead end.”

“Looks like it.”

Kanata-san went this far without losing his way. It seems that the structure of these ruins is exactly the same as in the game. I was the type of person who often got lost in games, so I thought it was amazing that he could remember the way. Well, as for me, before I knew it, I kept going in circles. It’s strange, isn’t it?

At the dead end, Kanata-san started checking the wall.

“Rosarin-chan, take a look.”

“A button?”

When Kanata-san pressed the button, a voice came out.

(Please answer the quiz. What is the meaning of Cinderella in Japanese?)

“Covered in ash.”

(Correct. In the fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood, who did the wolf eat?)

“The granny and Red Riding Hood.”

(Correct. Final question. What is the Japanese name for Rapunzel?)

“Nojisha.”

(Correct. You are hereby acknowledged as a friend of the Otherworld. Gate open.)

Together with the voice, a hidden passage appeared.

“Ohh…!”

Geraldin-san seemed to be excited. His tail is wagging so much that I was afraid it might tear off at some point.

“How did you know the last question?”

“Well, Rapunzel is supposed to be eaten as a salad (lamb’s lettuce), and I was curious what it was, so I studied about it a little. Are the problems always random?”

“Ou. The last one is always the most difficult one.”

It’s true that the last problem was unusually difficult. It was a good thing I knew it by chance.

We went further down into the basement. The passageway was illuminated and not dark. It wasn’t electricity, though… I could feel the magic, though it was faint. At the end of the stairs, we came to an open space. A spotlight suddenly illuminated a woman.

“… Moe-type android?”

A beautiful robot in a maid outfit with cat ears appeared. It looked like a doll when it’s still. It had the same dalmatian pattern with white background, just as my grandmother’s cat. Just when I was feeling a sense of familiarity, the cat-eared maid robot smiled at us.

“I welcome you, travelers from the Otherworld! My name is Miko. What can I do for you?”

“First of all, what is the purpose of this facility?”

“Yes, this is a facility for travelers from other worlds.”

“What do you do here?”

“Mostly, we provide information.”

“So you do more than provide information?”

“I cannot answer. Only those who have registered as Master can access…………………”

Miko-chan, who had been answering nonchalantly, stopped. What? Did she break? I’m innocent.

…………

………………

………………………

She hadn’t moved for five minutes.

“… Rosarin-chan, have you broken it?”

“Nonono! I’m innocent! I only talked to her!”

“… How could a person break? Although, this person… doesn’t seem like undead, it gives off scent of both living and dead, which is honestly scaring me.”

The angel in my arms, Dirk, was scared. Don’t be scared! For your sake, I’ll defeat gods and demons alike! I gave Dirk a good squeeze. I glanced at Geraldin-san and the others, who’s hair was also raising in alarm. It’s unpleasant, isn’t it?

“It looks almost human, but I guess more closely related to the category of Navi-kun (Chapter 213.1) and Golems.”

“… I see.”

The angel Dirk seemed to be convinced.

“… I have confirmed Master registration.”

“N?”

MIko-chan has rebooted.

“Master! Welcome abroad! I have been rude to you, please forgive me! Now, now, now, come inside, please! I apologize for not brewing you a cup of tea! I will prepare tea and delicious snacks for you right away! Your companions may come in, too!”

“Eh!? What… wait…”

“Come, come, come, don’t be restrained now~☆ I’m so happy you have come to visit me, Master!”

Miko-chan was super pushy☆ She was like an auntie who wouldn’t let you pay for a cup of tea. Why did she suddenly change her attitude!? I was confused, but she didn’t care at all and kept on urging.

“Eh? I was never able to go further than here…”

“It seems that women are Ojousama’s weakness, huh.”

Kanata-san was perplexed and Jash was speaking keenly. I’m not weak against women… it’s just that I don’t believe I can win against an auntie. I believe that aunties are the strongest living thing on the planet.

We were taken even deeper into the ruins by Miko-chan.
