It Is A Different World And Yet I Am Cultivating Monsters - 146 146 "Encounter at the ruins"

“This is great inside too: ……

Once inside the ruins, there was a vast passage and space.

The walls and ceilings are beautifully decorated.

It was rundown and partly crumbling, but it was so solidly built that you could catch a glimpse of its original beauty.

Certainly, this is amazing.

The decorations and weapons in the corners of the room are not only comparable to today’s technology, they’re even better quality.

Both Lily and Phytis were open-mouthed in amazement at the sight that was inside the ruins.

As they walked down the corridor, they peeked into several rooms, where weapons, armor and ornaments, as well as works of art and other objects of obvious value were left covered with sand and dust.

Whenever they saw it, both Lily and Phytis looked mildly excited.

Well, for adventurers and brave men and women, these unexcavated ruins must be a treasure trove of excitement.

I also get excited whenever I see such treasures.

But my goal now is not the treasure.

This way!

Locke leads us as we sometimes stop to walk.

In order not to be left behind by Locke, we walk towards the depths of the ruins at a slightly faster pace.

It seems that Locke is more attracted to something behind the ruins than I am.

As proof of this, Locke’s stride gradually quickens and I noticed that he was running towards the depths of the ruins without hesitation.

You’re more serious than ever before, Rock. ……

The atmosphere of rock music is such that even Lily can’t help but mutter that.

Certainly. I’m sure that’s why I’m so curious about what’s behind this?

As I descended the stairs to the basement, a huge door appeared.

This is ……

“Looks like this is the deepest part of the place.

As I nodded in response to Lily’s words, I stepped back from the lock standing in front of the door and pushed the door open, but it didn’t budge.

“Kyou, get back. I’ll take care of it.

This time, Lily takes over for me and puts her hand on the door.

At the same time, the door slowly opens with a sound as she puts pressure on her hands.

Oh, as expected of the seven great heroes. I’m sure he has great muscle strength.

Here it is! You’re not thinking of being rude, are you?

No, no, nothing.

Lily glares at me as if she has read my thoughts.

Well, aside from that, we walked in through the open door.

What was there was a sight beyond our imagination.

“This is ……

“Wow …… what is this ……

It was a hall-like space, a large space made entirely of crystal.

The floors, ceilings, and even the pillars were made of beautiful crystals as if they were as beautiful as ice, but you never felt cold at all, rather, the crystal space was as beautiful as the aurora borealis, where the slightest bit of light would change the color of the color of the crystal.

“Is this some kind of ore from ……?

I put my hand on the floor or pillar, thinking that this is not an ore that I know for sure, and that it is probably unique to this world, when Phytis, who was behind me, opens her mouth.

“Isn’t this probably a sealant?

“Sealed stone?

It is said to be a stone that seals the power of demons. But it is said to be an ancient artifact and has rarely been found. It is said to be an ancient heritage and has rarely been found. …… Maybe the Ishtar civilization produced this stone in such large quantities.

I see. Is it like a common item in RPGs to weaken demons?

If you look closely, you’ll see that Lily, Locke, and Jack look uncomfortable.

Shouldn’t we stay here too long? Just when I thought that…

“…… Papa, that

Locke tugs on my clothes sleeve and points to a large crystal at the back of the room.

For some reason, as soon as I see the crystal, which is obviously larger than the others, I am drawn to it.

When you get close to the crystal, you see something that exists inside it.

It’s ……!

There was a figure – someone in the crystal.

“Hey!　Lily, Fitis!　Oh my God!　There’s someone in this crystal!

“What?!

“Really?　Kyou-sama!

It’s a good idea to be able to have a good time with your friends and family.

It’s a good idea to let …… out if it’s really a person.

It’s certainly true. ……

I agree with Lily and Phytis’ mutterings.

However, how to break such a huge block of crystal.

The moment I touched the crystal, I knew that I had no choice but to ask Fitis to help me.

“Snap!”

You can see the crystal glowing slightly, and then a crack appears around the spot where I touched it.

I’m going to be able to take my hand away in a hurry, but the crack immediately covers the entire crystal, and the crystal itself begins to vibrate slightly.

“Hey, Kyou!　Oh, what did you do?

“Hey, I didn’t do anything!　As you can see, just by touching it, the crystal suddenly glows and cracks in it ……!

The next moment the crystal shines brighter and brighter than ever, and then it shatters, as if it can no longer withstand the pressure from within.

……!

All of us guarded with our arms to cover our eyes from the brightness and impact of the shattering of the crystal, but when we were sure that the light and vibrations had stopped, we lowered our arms and looked in front of us again.

…………

There was a girl with silver hair and brown skin.

Her slender body gives an image of slenderness, but at the same time it gives an impression of fragility and beauty, reminiscent of an unworldly fairy or angelic existence.

It was so beautiful that not only me, but all the people present were breathless and speechless.

Then the eyes of the girl who came out of the crystal opened and her gaze met mine.

The color of her eyes is a bright red ruby.

It is blood red, but it also has a hidden beauty like a sunset, and at first glance, as if by magic, I couldn’t tear my gaze away from it.

The moment I saw the girl, I felt as if I had seen her somewhere else.

As I asked myself if I had ever met a woman as beautiful, if not divinely attractive, a smile appeared on her lips.

“–Kyoto.

“Huh?

Somehow the girl called my name.

We first met ……, right?　As I was thinking about this, he approached me and hurriedly held her as she was about to fall over. At that moment…

“—-

I thought I heard the girl mutter something.

But what was even more shocking than the realization hit me.

As soon as I held her, the girl put her lips on mine.

!

I froze at that too shocking behavior.

And everyone around me seemed to be the same, looking at me with a tremendous expression.

The girl immediately lets go of my lips and faints at the same time, but before that, Lily grabs my shoulder.

“Hey, hey, hey, hey!　Oh, oh anta!　What are you doing?

“No, no, no!　What are you doing and what are you doing? ……!

“Uh-uh, shut up!　I’m not making excuses!

“Ki, Kyou-sama, wow, there’s a person named me, but I’ve never met a woman like that before. ……!

“Gosh, you’re wrong!

I was so distracted by the commotion that I didn’t even notice it at the time.

A tear fell from the eyes of the girl in my arms.
